Chapter 455 Falling down with a little effort (9600 word chapter)
Different players face failure in different ways, which is related to the player's personality and the atmosphere of the era.

Michael Jordan chose to polish himself, first make himself stronger, then wait for the arrival of the puzzle, and finally reap success.

This really set a good example for the later players. After decades, the star players have learned to look good and firmly believe that they can become the next Jordan.

However, with the development of the times, this old-fashioned road to success has become outdated. There are obviously shortcuts, so why go through the so-called hardships?

The appearance of Li Ze has also brought about a huge change in the general environment. In the current era, it is even more understandable to join if you can't beat it!

In the first round of G17 of the 18-1 season playoffs, although the Timberwolves lost, the two young talents in the team did not show much disappointment.

After the game, he even talked and laughed with Li Ze for a few words
At 93:125, the Clippers beat the Timberwolves, and the Intuit Dome ushered in their first win in the playoffs!

The Timberwolves lost by 32 points. Such a difference means that the two sides are not on the same level at all.

Jimmy Butler turned his head away after the game. He was not only dissatisfied with his performance, but also sneered at the two teammates who sycophant.

Both TM lost 32 points, and there is still a mood for business bragging?

In the eyes of Wiggins and Towns, a loss is a loss. LeBron James has lost to the second player in the league. Losing to Li Ze is not ashamed!
It's a rare opportunity to communicate, why not follow along?
Li Ze, as the active GOAT, often doesn't talk to the big teams. Wiggins and Downs have a rare chance to get acquainted, so naturally they have to follow suit.

"Come on, Bro! Do well in the next game and try to get a double-double!"

Li Ze and Downs simply bumped their fists, and then encouraged Wiggins on the side:

"Remember to practice your weak side during the offseason, you should complete more offenses!"

Wiggins showed an innocent smile, this is how the playoff teams are treated!

Being able to communicate with the boss at any time and go home early to fish, but there is no such opportunity.

Li Ze taught the new players, and in another playoff game, LeBron James was overthrown by the new players!
At 98:80, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers at home.

The Pacers established the victory in the first quarter of the game. At 1:33 in a single quarter, the Cavaliers fell into the big pit at the beginning, and then never climbed up again.
奥拉迪波发挥出色,19中11,三分线外9中6,高效砍下32分6篮板4助攻4抢断1盖帽4失误的数据。

勒布朗-詹姆斯也有出色发挥,17中7,罚球14中10,拿到24分10篮板12助攻1抢断1盖帽3失误三双数据!

It just made the Cavaliers fans feel desperate that James played 44 minutes in this game and even lost to the opponent by 18 points after playing almost the whole game.
The same thought popped into everyone's mind:

"The gap in strength is too big, you will be eliminated in the first round!?"

Another Eastern Conference game, 107:113, the Celtics struggled to win after a tough overtime.

The superficial brother Griffin played only 58 games in the regular season due to a knee injury. In the two games against the Clippers, Griffin failed to play.

When he returned from injury again in April, Griffin was considered to have regained his form.

Fortunately, G1 played well, 19 of 10, scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. Although overtime was a bit stretched, winning is always a good thing!
It's just that the superficial brothers never expected the Bucks to rise.
阿德托昆博21中11,靠着转换进攻和突破攻框就拿到了35分13篮板7助攻3抢断4失误的数据;
克里斯-米德尔顿20中12,三分线外7中5,砍下31分8篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽3失误。

The outstanding performance of the two also surprised Amelika's sports media.

Second-round picks shine in the playoffs, which is rare in the NBA.

The Blazers had an easy win over the Thunder in the other Western Conference game that night.

99:104, although the point difference is not big, the Trail Blazers led by 14 points in the first quarter.

Although he relaxed a little later and almost overturned, he finally defended his home field.

Carmelo Anthony's state declined significantly after coming to Oklahoma City. At the end of the season, his body suffered another injury and his state was affected again.

13中5,出场37分钟的安东尼最终只交出了15分7篮板2助攻3失误的数据。

Gallinari's body is still solid, and he has played well this season, but in the playoffs, it is not enough.

龟龟倒是一如既往的稳定,17中8,拿到24分10篮板10助攻4失误的三双数据。

The Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt played well in this game. Lillard and McCallum scored 54 points together, showing excellent offensive firepower.

So far, the first round of G1 is all over. Except for the Cavaliers' accidental overturn, the teams in the upper half have all defended their home courts.

On the morning of April 4, Amelia's sports media began to discuss whether the Clippers could achieve a record of 16 wins and 16 losses in the playoffs again.

Most of the first-round games are crushing games. In many games, the home team leads by 15+ in the first quarter. The games with disparity in strength do not need too many comments.

Taking advantage of the enthusiasm for 78 wins, everyone continued to follow suit.

"There is no disrespect to the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and Thunder. What I want to say is that the Clippers will not encounter any difficulties before the Western Conference Finals!"

"Karl-Anthony Towns, I'm very disappointed in his performance!"

"He's like a big cupcake. I suspect he forgot he's a No. 5."

Charles Barkley's metaphor made O'Neal on the side laugh for a while. Since the end of last night's game, the two have slammed the new Downs together:
"Nikola Jokic played tougher and deserved the best second team last season. In contrast, Towns is an overrated player!"

"The offensive end can't respond, the defensive end is always in foul trouble, hey! Wake up boy, you are playing in the playoffs!"

O'Neal's output filled the studio with joy. These two always have higher demands on the big men in the league.

The host Ernie Johnson asked the director to display the data of Jimmy Butler and Li Ze on the big screen, and then said with a smile:

"It seems that Butler did not fulfill his promise, but I like his speech. Now there are not many players who are brave enough to challenge Kayce."

14中4,三分线外5中1,罚球3中3,12分5篮板2助攻2失误。

Jimmy Butler was severely limited by Li Ze, but considering the injury, fans and critics did not mock this tough guy.

Kenny Smith adjusted his glasses. He was used to Li Ze's statistics, but he still had to brag:

"The god of basketball cannot be restricted. Kayce doesn't care if you challenge him or not. In the playoffs, he will blow up all the defensive players in front of him."

"You can score with just one shot. In the playoffs, it will be very difficult for the Clippers with Kayce to lose. They have a great probability of achieving a record of 16 wins and 0 losses."

Charles Barkley followed suit and nodded. At present, Li Ze's data is no longer discussed in their program, and everyone is numb:
"The Clippers do have the opportunity to achieve such an achievement again, but they may encounter new opponents in this year's Finals!"

"It's also a good thing for Kayce, I'm sure he doesn't want to fight LeBron James anymore."

The topic was brought up to the finals, and Charles Barkley's words made the three people beside him chuckle. In fact, everyone didn't want to see James anymore.

The host Ernie Johnson finally remembered to warm up for tonight's game between the Pelicans and the Warriors:

"The only one who can challenge the Clippers is the Warriors. Now we have news that Stephen Curry will play in G2 tonight."

"This is definitely a good thing for the fans. Of course, I hope Curry can get back to his form as soon as possible!"

"."

After Rajon Rondo came to the Pelicans, he really made the team's offense more organized.

In G2 that night, the Pelicans and Warriors didn't decide the winner until the last moment of the game.

At 116:121, the Warriors smashed the main force and successfully protected the home court.

In addition to Curry and Durant, Graymond Green played a key role and performed well on both ends of the offense and defense.

11中7,分线外5中2,高效砍下20分9篮板12助攻1抢断2盖帽1失误的准三双数据!

The only hidden danger of winning is that the main lineup played too much time. Durant and Green played 41 minutes, and Klay and Iguodala also played 38 minutes.

Only Curry, who has just returned from injury, played slightly less, only 27 minutes.

Steve Kerr, who played tricks in the regular season, became more and more conservative in the playoffs.

This is a season that cannot be failed. When he is used to the head coach, Steve Kerr does not want to return to the commentary seat early
In another game, the 76ers at home failed to withstand the pressure, and the offense was cut off in the second quarter.

In the end, at 113:103, the Heat won an away victory, and the series came to a 1:1 score.

韦德这场比赛彻底爆发,16中11,高效砍下28分7篮板3助攻2抢断3失误的数据。

The outdated veteran once again showed his youthful demeanor. After the game, he even shouted to the newcomers of the 76ers:
"Good job, see you in Miami!"

The transition from old to new in the league is about to be completed, and the veterans of the 03 class are about to withdraw from the playoff stage.

On the morning of April 4, the Clippers routinely completed the video lesson.

In addition to watching the video of the Timberwolves in the past two days, the coaching staff also took the players to watch the video of the Warriors game.

Unlike the regular season, the Warriors have directly won the five small lineups in both games of the playoffs this year.

Coach De Nagro hopes to leave an impression on the players in advance. For the Clippers, the pressure in the first two rounds of the playoffs is not great.

Fox Sports reporters routinely conduct interviews after the tape session:
"Kayce, will you continue to play against Jimmy Butler tomorrow night?"

The reason why such a question is asked is mainly because Jimmy Butler's state has become doubtful for playing. The Timberwolves officially claimed that his right knee is uncomfortable and is still under observation.

Injuries are also a part of the game. Li Ze will never show mercy. When he heard such a question, he answered calmly:
"Of course, as long as the opponent starts the game, I will go all out on both offense and defense!"

"For the injury, I can only express regret, but in the game, if Jimmy Butler is not in good condition, I will even increase the number of shots."

"Give the opponent the greatest respect, no matter what his state is, I will keep scoring points on him to help the team win."

The surrounding sports media couldn't help but sympathize with Jimmy Butler. The contracts of players who played against Li Ze have been devalued in recent years.

In February of this year, Jimmy Butler tore the meniscus in his right knee. Such an injury will naturally affect his physical condition.

At the end of the regular season, Jimmy Butler barely returned from injury, and Jimmy Butler, who fought with injury, has a high probability of shrinking in the playoffs!
In this case, Jimmy Butler's next contract is not optimistic, data is a dollar, without data everything is empty talk.
Jokic has also attracted much attention in this round, but the heat is all brought by Downs.

America's sports media thought that the No. [-] pick, Downs, could handle the second-round pick in front of him, but the two got the script upside down, and Downs turned into a gummy bear.

Regarding the matchup situation of tomorrow night's game, Jokic also behaved very modestly in an interview:
"Karl-Anthony Towns is the most nuanced big man I've ever seen, and I love playing against him!"

"Tomorrow night's game I will protect the rebound. I know his talent, and he will definitely respond."

唐斯在G1的比赛中9中3,怒砍8分10篮板2助攻3失误。

而约基奇9中6,高效砍下16分11篮板5助攻1抢断2失误的数据。

Hearing Jokic's answer, some sports media looked weird, always feeling that the fat man in front of him was mocking his opponent
During the offseason, some people ridiculed Jokic's best second team. By the end of this season, these voices will definitely disappear. Jokic may even enter the best team this year.

The injured Timberwolves are naturally low in morale. Although some people don't like Jimmy Butler, everyone knows that this guy is really capable.

Coach Thibodeau felt sour in his heart, and he even suspected that he was cursed.

Why do teams get injured every time they go to the playoffs?
In the three games that night, the teams in the upper half beat their opponents again. The Raptors, Celtics, and Rockets successfully defended the home court. The big score of the series all came to 2:0.

The one-sided situation made America's sports media sigh helplessly. The disparity in strength is the last thing everyone wants to see.

On the night of the 18th, G2 between the Timberwolves and the Clippers officially started.

Jimmy Butler played again with injuries to fight for his breath without steaming steamed buns!
In the Intuit Dome arena, Clippers fans wearing red cheering T-shirts naturally also saw the news reports before the game. In order to show respect, everyone did not boo this tough guy.

After the game started, the Timberwolves' offense had problems.

Jeff Teague was a bit sticky with the ball, and in the first four rounds after the opening, the attack time was reduced to 4 seconds.

Several shots at the buzzer, except for Wiggins throwing in a mid-range shot, all the rest were hit.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The Timberwolves attacked again, and Jimmy Butler took the initiative to ask for the ball.

I wanted to receive the pass at the elbow on the right side of the free throw line, but Li Ze pushed him beyond the three-point line.

The right flank received the pass, Jimmy Butler had no choice but to stay away from the basket, facing Li Ze's defense, and quickly pushed the ball to change direction after releasing the ball with his left hand.

Switching to the right hand, Jimmy Butler slumped his shoulders and accelerated, trying to resist Li Ze's defense and rush to the three-point line.

As soon as their bodies came into contact, Li Ze's defense immediately slowed down Jimmy Butler, subconsciously adjusted his body's center of gravity, and Jimmy Butler tried to protect the ball with his back.

But the overly obvious offensive intention was easily seen by Li Ze. Taking advantage of the moment Jimmy Butler turned around, Li Ze suddenly rushed up and cut off the ball with his left hand.

Jimmy Butler still wanted to continue to control the ball, but Li Ze sprinted forward. Taking advantage of the rebound of the ball, he grabbed the ball with his left hand, knocked Butler away, and accelerated in a straight line after completing the steal.

Coach Thibodeau on the sidelines saw Jimmy Butler lose the ball and hurriedly shouted for the players to retreat.

But soon he found that only Jeff Teague returned to the defense and ran two steps symbolically, and then everyone watched Li Ze rush into the paint area and easily complete the gliding dunk!

At 2:10, the Clippers successfully played a wave of 8:0.

"Oh!!"

Fans of the Clippers don't mind the game turning into a brutal game. The home team widened the point difference, and everyone cheered.

Jimmy Butler thumped his right leg in frustration. His injury made it difficult for him to take advantage of the first step, which made it impossible for him to get rid of Li Ze's defense in 1-on-1.

Li Ze retreated calmly, and he naturally noticed that Jimmy Butler's physical condition was declining.

In tonight's game, not only did he not keep his hand, but he started to punch hard.

The Timberwolves attacked again, and Jimmy Butler tried to use an off-ball screen to get rid of Li Ze, and quickly slipped the baseline from right to left.

Then, using Gibson's cover near the bottom line on the left, Jimmy Butler quickly came to the left block. Jeff Teague also accelerated the speed of the ball at this time, and sent the ball to the ground as soon as possible.

The poor quality of the pass allowed Butler to take another half step forward before bending over to receive the ball.

As soon as his right hand touched the ball, Jimmy Butler was keenly aware of Li Ze's defense, turned around with his left foot as the axis, and Jimmy Butler, who was about to attack face-to-face, immediately made a three-threat posture.

Just put the ball into the right pocket, Jimmy Butler did not wait to make a feint, Li Ze seemed to have predicted his movement, and went straight to the ball with both hands.

Before Jimmy Butler could react, Li Ze exerted strength with both hands and pulled the ball out of the opponent's arms. Under the strong pull, Butler staggered again.
"God! Kayce made the tackle in the arms!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan couldn't help screaming when he saw Jimmy Butler being dragged down to the street by Li Ze.

Jimmy Butler, who fell on the floor, could only see Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand and accelerating continuously, but his teammates failed to catch up. Everyone watched Li Ze stretch his body and complete the windmill dunk.
"boom!"

The basket exploded, and Li Ze, who completed the dunk, made a gliding posture after landing, and quickly retreated back to his own half.

2:12, the point difference came to 10 points.

The two offenses were cut off face to face, Jimmy Butler still wanted to continue to ask for the ball, but Jeff Teague, who dribbled through halftime, signaled to play a low post tactic.

Furious in his heart, the impotent and furious Jimmy Butler simply smoked in the left corner, watching Towns break through the block on the left side, put the basket under the basket and hit another iron.
The ball knocked out of the frame, Harris grabbed the rebound in front of Gibson, dribbled two strides and immediately threw the ball forward.

Jaylen Brown continued to accelerate, and after catching the ball with his right hand, he carried Jeff Teague and continued to accelerate. He took off with both feet in the paint, tilted his body to dodge the block, and threw the ball to the backboard with his right hand.

"squeak!"

"Boom!"

The whistle blew the ball in, the ball hit the board and into the frame, and Jaylen Brown, who fell on the floor, immediately threw his fist and roared.

Jaylen Brown's extra penalty was hit steadily, and in the Intuit Dome arena, there were huge cheers again.

"Coach Thibodeau must request a timeout. The Timberwolves' offense has a big problem. If this continues, the game will lose its suspense."

Reggie Miller watched the two young talents of the Timberwolves strike iron one after another after the opening, and said good things, but he felt that this round of the series was over.

At 2:15, the point difference widened and the Timberwolves seemed to collapse.

Angrily requested a timeout, coach Thibodeau did not expect the team's offense to be like this:
"Retreat! We need to retreat in time, we are the one behind!"

"The game has just started, there are 1 minutes left in the first quarter, do a good job of defense, OK?!"

After Coach Thibodeau finished speaking, he immediately looked at the core players.

Wiggins looked calm, and nodded immediately when he saw the head coach's gaze, while Towns looked a little frustrated, and finally nodded in response.

This is a team that belongs to the two of them. As the star players in the team, if they encounter difficulties, they should really stand up.

After returning from the timeout, everyone on the Timberwolves stabilized their emotions. Using Towns' pick-and-roll, Wiggins forced a 2-pointer from the basket.

Looking back, Li Ze didn't need to cover. He came to the left flank, and when he was close to the three-point line, he held the ball in his left hand and suddenly pulled the ball back.

Stuck in half position, Li Ze crushed and broke through, carrying Jimmy Butler's defense, and quickly came to the left block.

The left hand blasted the ball vigorously on the spot, Li Ze quickly switched to the right hand, protected the ball with his back, and then slammed.

Jimmy Butler gritted his teeth behind him, but was hit twice and felt tight in his chest. What made him feel even more helpless was that he was pushed into the paint again.
Approaching the basket, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly pulled the ball back sharply, and his shoulders shook, making it impossible for Jimmy Butler to predict the offensive action for a while.

When Li Ze turned forward again and quickly completed the fallback jumper, Jimmy Butler seemed to have roots under his feet, and he was still stuck in place.

"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance!

In the TNT commentary booth, Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan covered their heads at the same time, and the two of them covered their heads with shrimps and pig hearts. After the opening, Li Ze went mad at Jimmy Butler, and he has not missed a shot so far.

The cheers of the fans stimulated Jimmy Butler again, but instead of being depressed, this tough guy clapped his hands at Li Ze and shouted with a ferocious expression:

"Come on! Man"

Li Ze just smiled, he naturally wanted to meet the other party's request.

In the minutes that followed, Jimmy Butler was begging to be thumped.
For several consecutive offensive rounds, Li Ze attacked left and right, and kept playing singles with his back in the blocking area on both sides, or turning over for a jump shot, or hitting the basket, using up and down steps to easily pick the basket.

The Timberwolves' scoring also slowly rose, and Wiggins and Jeff Teague took on the heavy responsibility of scoring.

After his unremitting efforts, Towns finally hit a three-pointer at the end of the first quarter.

"Shhh!!"

At 15:30, although the point difference has not been narrowed, the Clippers fans at the scene still booed.

Jimmy Butler has broken the defense at this time, no matter how he defends, he will eventually be beaten into the paint.

Without fancy shaking, Li Ze completely overwhelmed his defense with only speed and strength.

When he came to the top of the arc, Li Ze immediately commanded Jokic, indicating to play a low-post tactic.

It was also a cross screen in the three-second zone. Gibson took the initiative to switch to behind Jokic, and Towns came to the right near the baseline to defend Harris, who bounced out to the right corner.

In the left block position, Jokic successfully stuck Gibson behind him, and leaned back hard after receiving a pass from Li Ze.

Gibson thought that Jokic was attacking from a low position, so he focused all his attention on the fat white man in front of him.

Li Ze, who sent the pass from the top of the arc, suddenly swayed left and right at this time, and then accelerated the cut after throwing a false move.

Jimmy Butler's reaction was half a beat slow, and he was immediately thrown away. Li Ze rushed into the paint area, and Jokic took advantage of the opportunity to send a ground pass.

After the rebound, the ball came to the right height, and Li Ze took advantage of the situation to grab the ball and took off directly after taking a step.

The fans at the scene only felt that Li Ze flew up in the blink of an eye, and subconsciously cheered loudly!

Downs, who was near the bottom line on the right, was still moving towards the basket. Seeing Li Ze soaring into the air, he subconsciously jumped up to block the shot.

But he soon realized that his take-off height was not enough, Towns struggled to straighten his right hand and made a final struggle.

Li Ze in the air completely ignored the defense in front of him, knocked Downs away, took advantage of the opponent's weight loss, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and slammed the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

The ball went into the crowd, and Li Ze, who was almost on the spot, knocked Downs to the ground. Everyone in the Timberwolves on the field was dumbfounded, and even forgot to go to Fupu Street. teammate.

The Intuit Dome was completely blown up. When the Clippers fans saw Li Ze showing off his biceps after landing, they all shouted excitedly.

Downs, who was almost slapped horizontally on the floor, showed a painful expression, and the fans taunted him again:
"Go home, big cupcakes!"

"The gummy bears are harder than you, you're going to be swept away!"

"."

Downs ignored the noise in his ears, and thought his teammates would come to help him, but after waiting for a while, he saw the camera under the basketball stand snapping at him.
"Shet!"

When his teammates pulled him up, Downs beat his thigh angrily and cursed helplessly.

Li Ze, who was pacing and retreating, looked at Jimmy Butler with a smile on his face. The tough guy lost his temper at this time, stopped making any provocative gestures, and ran towards the half court with his head down.

At the end of the first quarter, everyone on the Timberwolves bench looked straight. Is this a repeat of the G1 game?
At 17:37, the huge difference of 20 points means that the game is over.

"Kayce completely destroyed Jimmy Butler. The gap between the two is too big, but I still have to praise Butler's spirit. I like to see this kind of matchup."

Reggie Miller didn't care about the point difference anymore, and began to tell the story of old-school basketball with a smile.

The commentator Kevin Harlan didn't intervene, it was so brutal that he felt a little sympathetic to Jimmy Butler.

9中9,罚球2中2,20分2篮板2助攻2抢断,李泽的得分,全都集中在篮筐附近。

Jimmy Butler on the bench gasped and covered his head with a towel to prevent his teammates from seeing his expression.

At this time, he didn't hear what the head coach was explaining at all, his mind went blank, the nightmarish first quarter!
2 of 0, 0 points, 2 rebounds and 3 turnovers, scoring zero eggs, stretching the hips.
On the Clippers' bench, Li Ze put on a T-shirt. The huge point difference made him appear in the second half of the second quarter. Tonight is another three quarters.

The sports reporters on the scene, at this time, really felt that if they let the singles go, Li Ze might easily score 80 points!
Without help defense, a single defense is a free gift. Coach Thibodeau on the sidelines already feels overwhelmed. He only hopes that the rotation lineup can save some face.

The low morale of the Timberwolves faced the Clippers who had entered the downwind God of War mode, and the rotation was completely suspended. Not only did the point difference not be narrowed, but it was further widened.

Crawford can indeed score, but it really doesn't work on the defensive end.

Derrick Rose is also trying his best to score points, but facing the more dynamic Clippers, he can't score points efficiently.

Li Ze only played 2 minutes and 3 seconds in the final second quarter, and the game has completely lost its suspense.

At 35:70, the Clippers entered the second half with a 35-point lead.

In the Intuit Dome arena, the fans are celebrating the victory of the game. They bought snacks during halftime, and they can eat and watch the second half
"What coach Thibodeau should consider at this time is how to protect the home court."

"At present, the Timberwolves have serious problems on both ends of the offense and defense, and Towns needs to get back to his state as soon as possible."

Reggie Miller didn't say anything about the future at this time. Towns' current performance is completely different from the regular season.

Towns took a lot of shots in the second quarter, and he scored 9 of 2 in the half, scoring 5 points and 6 rebounds
The commentator Kevin Harlan didn't know how to evaluate the two talented newcomers Towns and Wiggins, so he could only change the subject in the end:
"The playoffs start with an away win, and the Timberwolves still have a chance!"

"."

In the second half of the game, Li Ze was fishing for the whole game. After the official suspension of the third quarter, the Timberwolves took the initiative to replace the main lineup, and the appearance of the atmosphere group meant that the opponent declared defeat.

The referee didn't bother to blow the whistle, and the game time passed quickly. In the end, at 80:128, the Clippers beat the Timberwolves at home, and the series came to 2:0.

This time, everyone in the Timberwolves lost their smiles and lost too much, so naturally they were not in the mood to exchange pleasantries.

The Intuit Dome was full of happy shouts from the Clippers fans. After the game, everyone did not leave the field immediately, but continued to celebrate the victory of the game.

Paul George shook his fists with the atmosphere group at the end of the field, then looked up at the huge scoreboard above the arena, and couldn't help sighing to Li Ze next to him in a low voice:
"How did the Hornets lose by 58 points?"

"."

Jimmy Butler did not attend the press conference after the game.

出场25分钟,7中2,砍下8分4篮板2助攻4失误,这样的表现让硬汉自闭了。

李泽在今晚的比赛只出场了22分钟,14中12,三分线外3中2,罚球4中4,拿到30分6篮板6助攻3抢断。

Amika's sports media sighed on social media after seeing the data of the two:

"Kayce completely destroyed Jimmy Butler, and hopefully after this series is over this year, Butler won't suffer too much."

In the other two games that night, at 95:102, the Trail Blazers took the Thunder lightly, and the series came to 2:0.

Turtle and Carmelo Anthony performed mediocrely. Their combined performance of scoring 36 points naturally couldn't allow the Thunder to win.

At 97:100, the Cavaliers, who were playing at home, almost overturned again. In the third quarter, the offense suddenly lost power, which almost caused them to lose directly at home.

At 18:33 in the first quarter, the Cavaliers played a smooth offense, but the Pacers did not give up the game and kept narrowing the point difference.

It was not until the last 2 minutes that the two sides decided the outcome, and LeBron James once again became the hero of Cleveland!

出场41分钟,24中17,三分线外5中2,罚球13中10,46分12篮板5助攻2抢断3失误,勒布朗-詹姆斯一己之力,保护住了主场。

Compared with the crazy abuse of the Clippers, the matchup between the Pacers and the Cavaliers became the traffic of the night, and the social media was full of praises for James
The playoffs are all round-based. On the night of the 20th, the Cavaliers challenged the Pacers away.

The sports media that raved about LeBron James two days ago also raged against the Chosen One that night.

90:92,在上半场比赛57:40领先17分的情况下,骑士队第3节进攻断电。

At 12:23 in the single quarter, the Pacers came back against the wind. In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers failed to regain their offensive status, and finally lost helplessly.

出场42分钟的勒布朗-詹姆斯拼尽全力,22中10,三分线外7中4,罚球6中4,砍下28分12篮板8助攻1抢断1盖帽6失误的准三双数据。

The series fell behind 1:2, and the next game was the home of the Pacers. Everyone began to sing bad words about the Cavaliers, and at the same time mocked James:

"LeBron James is completely dead, and the Cavaliers will be eliminated in the first round this year!"

Compared with other teams, the performance of the Cavaliers is indeed a little hip. In the game the day before, the 76ers, Rockets, and Warriors won the game again. The two teams in the Western Conference have already won the match point .

LeBron James' loss became the biggest hot spot in the first round of the playoffs, and the Clippers' heat was sucked away by most of the game.

On the night of the 21st, the Target Center Arena was packed, and it was rare to enter the playoffs. Naturally, the Timberwolves fans would give their full support.

The 2 tickets were sold out early, and the fans firmly believed that the home team could protect the home court.

Enthusiastic fans spontaneously chanted slogans, painted their faces with oil paint, shouted loudly from the moment the game started, and kept cheering for the home team.

Kevin Garnett also came to the scene tonight to stand for the Timberwolves. As a star of the team, he also gave Towns some psychological massage in the past two days.

Garnett doesn't want the rookie to be as hard as he is, he just wants Towns to be able to defend well.
As the game continued, the sound in the Target Center arena became smaller and smaller.

It seems that there is not much difference from the previous two games. The offensive and defensive ends are still stretched. Even if Paul George followed suit tonight, the point difference is still gradually widening.

At the end of the halftime game, only the noise of the fans remained in the arena.

At 62:47, the Clippers' offensive firepower declined, and they still led by 15 points at halftime.

The fans at the scene naturally knew what the loss of G3 meant. After the start of the second half, the atmosphere in the Target Center Arena was completely violent. The fans tried to use their shouts to wake up the state of the home team.

Li Ze likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Scolding, exclamation, and noise can better stimulate his state.

At the end of the third quarter, the fierce Timberwolves fans stared straight at their eyes, and some fans even covered their faces with their hands, looking at the scoreboard above the arena in disbelief.

The third quarter was 50:20 in a single quarter, and after three quarters, 112:67, the point difference became 45 points.

The commentator, Kevin Harlan, was stunned. He watched it several times and confirmed that it was indeed 50 points. He couldn't help but yelled again:
"God! Kayce killed the game, unbelievable, the Clippers scored 50 points in one quarter!"

Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics and could only sigh:

"Crazy efficiency, crazy offense, this is Kayce, the best scorer in history!"

单节10中8,三分线外4中3,罚球5中5,24分4篮板,没有助攻。

Li Ze increased his aggression appropriately, and then the game was completely exhausted.
There was silence on the bench of the Timberwolves. Jimmy Butler bowed his head and remained silent. Wiggins and Towns were all dumbfounded, watching the atmosphere group appear on the stage in a daze.

The two newcomers can be regarded as experiencing the horror of Li Ze in the playoffs mode. At this time, they even want to end the series early:

"Tired, destroy it."
