Chapter 272 The Western Conference Finals Begins 3
At this time, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the stone that had been hanging in Da Zhuang's heart also fell. With this victory, the perverted buff was finally operable.
According to the activation conditions given by the buff, if these two home games can be won, then the effect can last for four games, which means that it can also be extended to two games in the finals. Even if you win one and lose one, the effect will expire next.
There will be two games, which ensures that at least the two away games to the Warriors will be buffed.
In this way, at least they can get the match point first, which is definitely a great advantage for the team.
The day after the game between the Timberwolves and Warriors.
The Eastern Conference Finals also kicked off.
The Cleveland Cavaliers visit Phillips Arena in Atlanta.
In the end, with James' 31 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks 97-89 on the road.
It can be said that the performance of the Hawks in this game did not show the momentum of being the first in the Eastern Conference. Although the final score difference was not big, the Hawks were completely out of shape throughout the game. The core of the team, Millsap and Horford, were
Individually, one scored 13 points and the other scored 16 points. The two scored less than James alone. In addition, the outside line was completely misfired. Korver only scored 9 points in the game. This performance disappointed many fans who were optimistic about the Hawks.
At the press conference after the game, head coach Budenholzer also stood up and took responsibility for the defeat, admitting that the team was not as good as the opponent in preparation.
Da Zhuang also watched this game in the same way. In Da Zhuang's opinion, the reason why the Cavaliers were able to win this game was not only the performance of James, but the most important thing was the performance of JR Smith. This Cavaliers' nerve knife won this game.
He scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, which can be said to be the sharpest weapon that the rotation lineup can take advantage of.
The time will soon come to May 21st.
The second round of the game between the Timberwolves and the Warriors will kick off today.
The game was held at 6 o'clock in the evening, but in the afternoon, a large number of Timberwolves fans slowly began to gather in the square in front of the Target Center. Many of these fans were unable to enter the arena to watch the game tonight.
The reason why I came here is to see the players I support with my own eyes.
What you can see from the faces of Timberwolves fans are confident smiles. It is obvious that Da Zhuang's efforts to build the Timberwolves in the past two seasons have established a strong image of the team in the hearts of the fans.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the warrior's figure appeared at the center of the target.
"The loss in the first game was indeed a blow to us, but I think it is a good thing. It allowed our players to calm down and look at your opponents calmly. This is very important for our game today.
It is a very important thing. The opponent is indeed very strong, but we also have hope of winning the game." Cole accepted the interview with reporters with a serious face.
The Timberwolves' coach, who arrived later, naturally expressed the team's desire to win to reporters.
What Da Zhuang didn't expect was that this game would be very difficult.
At six o'clock in the evening, with the referee's whistle, the game kicked off as scheduled.
From the first minute of the game, the two sides directly brought the game to a fierce state.
The situation of the game is very anxious, and the scores of both sides have been rising alternately. The Warriors' desire to win in this game is even stronger than that of the Timberwolves, and Curry and Thompson are also very hot on the outside, especially Curry, who is very defensive.
His Dinwiddie wished he could cover his eyes with his hands, but the ball just goes in.
Fortunately, Middleton and Yi Jianlian of the Timberwolves shared a lot of pressure for the team's offense from the outside, which kept the point difference between the two sides within 3 points.
From the first minute of the game to the last moment of the game, the point difference between the two sides never exceeded 5 points. In addition, the performance of two Warriors in this game is worthy of recognition, that is, Livingston who came off the bench and
Iguodala.
The Timberwolves still follow the hiring strategy of the last game, but the effect this time will be greatly reduced.
Livingston and Iguodala performed even better than Shuhao Lin and Bennett.
Especially Lin Shuhao, it can be said that he was directly defeated by Livingston when both sides used rotation lineups.
This is also the main reason why the Timberwolves failed to continue to have an advantage with the same strategy in this game.
Time quickly came to the last 41 seconds before the end of the game. As Curry hit another three-pointer on the court, he helped the Warriors even the score at 92-92.
Da Zhuang immediately applied for a suspension.
The next two rounds of the game are crucial both on the offensive and defensive ends.
At this time, it is not only necessary to arrange tactics, but also to calm down the players.
"Calm down, calm down. For the next offense, you will choose the three-pointer. Chris, you will execute it. Remember, I not only want to score in this offense, I also need to control the time and try to leave something left after completing this offense.
During the down time, the opponent has no chance to attack, do you understand what I mean? Also, if you find that you have no chance to attack at the first time, Allen, you have to quickly move to the high post on the weak side. Once the ball is
Once it’s in your hands, don’t hesitate.”
"Okay, I understand."
"Okay, guys, it doesn't matter. Don't be nervous and calm down. We hold one point in our hands. We can afford to lose and the other party can't afford to lose. Trust me!"
"Come on, kill them!" Everyone put their hands together at this moment.
Coincidentally, this scene also happened on the other side of the Warriors bench.
A game lasts for 48 minutes, but the winner depends on the last forty seconds.
The game has reached this stage, and winning or losing is actually a matter of a split second.
Soon the players from both sides returned to the court and the game continued.
Yi Jianlian served the ball on the sidelines, and the rest of the Timberwolves were running desperately to create space for their teammates. At this time, almost everyone on the bench on the sidelines stood up, and Da Zhuang also looked at the people on the court with a serious face.
Contest.
If we can win this game, Da Zhuang will not only be able to easily defeat the Warriors, but even the finals won't be a big problem.
Almost all Timberwolves fans in the stands also stood up from their seats, and many fans covered their mouths for fear that the noise they made would affect the performance of the players on the court.
Even at this time, Barkley and Smith on the commentary desk stopped talking. Both of them stared at the players on the court.
Chapter completed!
