Less than three minutes into the second quarter, Cole couldn't sit still.

Because the rotating lineup not only failed to narrow the point difference, but even had the possibility of widening it.

So the Warriors once again chose to make substitutions. Curry and Thompson came on first. Seeing this situation, Dazhuang also replaced Dinwiddie and Grant, while LaVine continued to stay on the court.

Being strong means using the defense of Dinwiddie and Grant to continuously consume the physical energy of Curry and Thompson. The Warriors, who have just experienced the tiebreaker, are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of physical reserves.

Dazhuang wants to expand its own advantages in this area.

Curry also directly hit a three-pointer after coming on the court, but one or two three-pointers could not change the overall situation at all. Turning around, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. Soon LaVine used the screen and inserted into the three-second zone without the ball to receive Ding.

Widdie's wonderful pass, and then directly against the Warriors' substitute inside, forced a layup. In the end, not only did he score the ball, but he also caused the opponent to get a foul.

With LaVine hitting and adding penalties, the Timberwolves' momentum became sharp again.

As the game time progressed, the situation on the field was gradually firmly controlled by the Timberwolves. The 50-50 situation that many people expected did not happen, but was presented to everyone in a one-sided situation.

situation.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led the Warriors by 15 points, 89 to 74. Although it seemed that this point difference still had a chance for the Warriors, only the Warriors themselves knew that this point difference had been from the second quarter until now.

The Timberwolves always keep the point difference around such a value.

These fifteen points are like an insurmountable trench for the Warriors.

No matter how much Cole adjusted, he could never even out the score difference.

At 9 minutes and 27 seconds into the fourth quarter of the game, Cole also decisively replaced all the main players. This time, Cole really felt the pressure given to them by the Timberwolves.

What we have to consider now is no longer this game, but what the Warriors should do in the entire next series.

The remaining less than three minutes turned into garbage time as both sides replaced all their main players.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, the game ended.

117 to 104, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors by 13 points, which can be regarded as a good start for themselves in the Western Conference finals series.

"The game was very difficult, and the opponent was indeed very strong, but fortunately we won the game. I believe this victory should make our players more confident and face the next game more calmly.

." Da Zhuang was also very low-key at the post-game press conference.

Cole, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied with the loss in this game.

"I think the game was lost, but we didn't have no chances throughout the game. I believe that in the next game our performance will be better than today. I am very confident about this."

In this game, Dinwiddie was the best player in the game, scoring 34 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists. This game also completely made the outside world pay close attention to the Timberwolves to notice this previously inconspicuous player.

The day after the first round of the game between the Timberwolves and the Warriors, the Eastern Conference Finals also kicked off.

On May 20, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers face the visiting Raptors.

The Western Conference finals were very intense, but the game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors allowed the Cavaliers to win very easily.

Under the leadership of James, after four quarters of competition, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 115-84, also making a good start in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Both sides acted as if they were not on the same level.

The time came on May 21, and the second round of the Western Conference Finals between the Timberwolves and the Warriors also kicked off at 6 o'clock in the evening at the Target Center.

Although they lost to the Timberwolves by 13 points in the last game, the actual competition between the two sides was still very fierce during the game, but this seemed to give the Warriors an illusion, making Cole feel that even if there was a conflict between the Warriors and the Timberwolves

There is a gap, but the gap is not big.

Moreover, Cole felt that the reason why the Timberwolves were able to win the game was more because of the sudden outbreak of a certain player.

In this game, the Timberwolves taught the Warriors a good lesson, telling them personally that if you rely too much on your three-pointers, then if one day your three-pointers are blocked and you have no advantage inside, you will

What will happen?

Of course, as a teaching institution, Da Zhuang naturally charges tuition fees.

And this tuition fee is a disastrous defeat for the Warriors.

Of course, for Chen Dazhuang, this game once again confirmed his suspicions about the system. He had previously guessed that the system would only allow him to accumulate no more than 100 points. In the last game, he spent a whole day to get three reds.

Out of 100 points, this game only has 20 points. Not only are there red ones, there are also gold ones.

This was so weird that he almost thought he was hallucinating.

The three-point shooting percentage of the whole game increased by 20% in the first quarter, the defensive ability increased by 20%, the pick-and-roll screening ability increased by 20%, and the follow-up speed increased by 20%. (Double point guard and power forward)

BUFF.)

In the first quarter, the score was five points ahead of the opponent, and in the remaining three quarters, the score was once again improved by 1% based on the original attributes.

In the first quarter, we led the opponent by more than ten points, and in the remaining three quarters, we improved by 2% on the original basis.

The passing coordination between Buff holders will temporarily increase the opponent's hit rate by 3%.

Hidden attributes: If the score difference in this game exceeds 20 points, the points used for each buff refresh until the end of the season will be halved.

There is also a red one given to the center.

So this game was a tragedy for the Warriors. The combination of Jokic and Dinwiddie completely became an unsolvable problem for the Warriors. Even in the third quarter, Dinwiddie went crazy against Curry and Barnes.

Double teams forced him to score three points.

On the contrary, the Warriors, who have always been very sharp in three-point shooting, were completely misfired from the outside in this game. In the entire first three quarters, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%.

In the absence of three-pointers, the Warriors could only think of attacking the Timberwolves' inside line, but Oden's ability in the three-second zone simply made the Warriors desperate.

The garbage time in the last game was less than three minutes.

The garbage time of this game lasts for almost half of the quarter.

121 to 90, the Warriors lost by 31 points in the second round, which made Kerr face in the post-game press conference
