Chapter 916 Pretend to be a textbook
In the first round against the Warriors, the Timberwolves used their experience, confrontation, and maturity to tear down the young Warriors.

However, the Warriors are by no means waiting to die.

Their head guard Stephen Curry showed his prowess in Game4, scoring nine three-pointers in a single game. Direct three-pointer two meters from the point line, and three-pointer at the halftime buzzer.

This night, Curry scored 41 points and 8 assists, winning the next game for the Warriors and avoiding the embarrassment of being swept out.

"I see a great future from Stephen." Bai Jidong said in an interview after the game. "He's like a ruthless killer hitting [-]-pointers from all over the place."

Game5, Bai Jidong responded with eight three-pointers to Curry.

The current Bai Jidong is very different from the Bai Jidong during the four consecutive championships.

Now he just runs around, follows the fast break, uses solid screens to run out of open positions, takes [-] or [-] shots per game, but can score efficiently.

He turned himself into a top-three shooter in the league.

This season's 250 three-pointers in the regular season are second only to Curry, and they even scored three-pointers against Curry in the playoffs.

"White Wolf, congratulations."

Bai Jidong used Curry's method to send away the Warriors, which made Curry's heart ache.

Bai Jidong said: "Stephen, you are still very young. There is infinite energy hidden in your body. Hurry up and find the key to open the seal. Your future is limitless."

"Accept your good words." Curry led the Warriors out of the field.

At this time, the Lakers and the Heat swept their opponents with four clean victories and advanced to the semifinals. The Thunder and the Grizzlies started a seven-game battle.

The audience thought that the Thunder would win, but in the end, the Grizzlies defeated the young and unlimited Thunder in a retro way, advanced to the semifinals, and joined forces with the Timberwolves.

"What a pity." Hearing Lei Ting's exit, Bai Jidong sighed.

Memphis Grizzlies, this is a team that combines crazy characters, unique talents, outcasts and forgotten people, and various interesting storylines are performed here.

They're a small-market club that was at one point the laughing stock of the entire NBA.

As if to save cap space, they traded away their "signature player" in the middle of the season and sent away the best pitcher in their team's playoff history.

They seemed to be self-handicapping, and despite everything that suggested they weren't dominant, in a magical way, they beat the Thunder with Durant and Westbrook.

The Grizzlies' success is based on the original Naismith model of basketball, team basketball.

Truth be told, there is nothing new at all.They didn't add tactics or magic from heaven.They just play together and learn, more importantly, get to know each other.Some players are good friends, some are completely different from others, some have a deep affection for the city, some are newcomers, and all players share a common mentality.

The secret to success doesn't look like discovering players' physical ability to do extraordinary things.Success comes from having extraordinary people do ordinary things.They're all unique players, but they all understand each other, respect each other, get the job done, and more like the character of the city they represent.

This most retro and basic team happens to be the toughest team in the league.

The flag was raised, guns were fired and drums were fired, and a great battle ensued.

It is also a 60-win team, but the Timberwolves and the Thunder are very different.

First of all, the core of their offense is a 36-year-old man.

At the same time, their defensive core is also a 36-year-old man.

The old man has been in a lot of situations, so he won't be at a loss just because the Grizzlies behave differently from his team.

Game 1 was the keynote of the series. Bai Jidong, Zhao Li, and Stevenson took turns attacking the Grizzlies' penalty area, fouling the black and white bears and defeating the Grizzlies.

The outside world thought that the Grizzlies just took a nap. They could defeat the talented Thunder in seven games, let alone an old Timberwolves... right?

"The White Wolf is indeed old. He is not so fast, and he can't dominate the whole game, but the Timberwolves are not old at all. We can't think that they are an old man team just because their leader is an old man. They really are not."

In the second game, the Grizzlies tried to change. They let the outside attack the Timberwolves, but they stepped into the Timberwolves' trap.

Bai Jidong and Vashabek were eager for them to do this, and the defensive net was opened, and the Grizzly was caught in the net.

Thus, the Grizzlies lost again.

Game3, the Grizzlies dragged the game into their rhythm.

Brutal confrontation, fierce positions, inch-to-inch collisions and murderous fouls.

The Timberwolves lost their touch and fell into the siege of the Grizzlies.

Zhao Li missed all of his first nine shots and instead used breakthroughs to create opportunities for the team.

The more this time, the more likely accidents will happen.

During a breakthrough, Zhao Li injured his knee and was carried off the field.

"It looks like a flawed injury, but I need to go to the hospital for an examination." The team doctor said.

At that time, the Timberwolves were 7 points behind the Grizzlies, and Stevenson replaced him.

Bai Jidong took a sip of the sports drink, looked at the score, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Brothers, let's visit Worf with the good news of victory." Bai Jidong murmured.

Stevenson yelled, "Of course! We're going to win!"

The sleeping Bai Jidong switched the game mode, from a stable end point to an attack starting point.

Stevenson's performance was also surprising. He made up for the gap after Zhao Li left the field and made breakthroughs repeatedly.

After Zhao Li left the field, the morale of the Timberwolves increased instead of decreasing. Under the leadership of Bai Jidong, they played a wave of 20-5 attacks, changing the situation in one fell swoop.

The Grizzlies and Timberwolves fought to the end, but the result did not change. They lost the game by 4 points.

"Once again! The White Wolf stood up when the Timberwolves needed it most, with 42 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. No praise is enough to describe his greatness. Let us pay him the highest respect!"

At the end of the game, Bai Jidong took the towel from his teammates, wiped it on his forehead, put it down, walked to the sidelines to accept the interview calmly, and then calmly walked to the player tunnel.

As if, nothing happened.

Compared with his legendary career, tonight's battle is just a typical bitter battle. He has fought too much.

Bai Jidong wanted to know more about Zhao Li's injury. Stevenson's performance was a pleasant surprise, but his style was too out of the ordinary and not suitable for the Timberwolves' system.

Zhao Li's MRI results showed that he injured his left anterior cruciate ligament and is expected to return before the Western Conference Finals.

It was like a bolt from the blue sky. Zhao Li was the only All-Star player for the Timberwolves besides Bai Jidong. If he couldn't play, the Timberwolves could only rely on Bai Jidong alone.

"It's okay, just make it to the conference finals."

Bai Jidong also felt that he was very unlucky. In recent years, whenever he wanted to make some achievements, Apollo would stare at him and make his left and right men out.

The Timberwolves blamed Zhao Li's injury on the Grizzlies.

In the fourth game of the series, the Timberwolves, with anger, blasted the Grizzlies at home.

In the commentary of the night, Jeff Van Gundy said, "The white wolf entered the arena with a pack of wolves, stunned the Grizzlies with paralyzing bullets at the beginning, then boned and skinned them, and ate Memphis alive.

The Timberwolves, who lost their troops, swept the Grizzlies in four games and became the first team to advance to the conference finals.

The Lakers next door played six games against the Spurs.

The talent of the Lakers overwhelmed the Spurs, and eventually kept them out of the semifinals, and once again reached the conference finals against their sworn enemy, the Timberwolves.

As fate would have it, the two teams have met in the playoffs every year since 2008.

It was another life-and-death battle related to finals tickets, but the helpers around Kobe changed one crop after another.

Gasol and Bynum were upgraded to Paul and Howard, and they might be stronger than the 09 season.

In the east, the invincible Heat and the rising Pacers Huashan debate swords.

From the book point of view, if there is no accident, the Lakers and the Heat will definitely meet in the finals.

However, the Lakers' opponent is the Timberwolves.

"Los Angeles and Minnesota are bound to start a 'how you again? "The meeting, they have met in the playoffs for six consecutive seasons, the first five encounters, the Timberwolves won three and lost two."

The 36-year-old White Wolf and the 35-year-old Black Mamba stood together, "Joko, looking at you, you are bound to win the finals."

Bryant said nonchalantly, "I'll break you down before then."

"Well, since you are so disregarding nostalgia, then I can only beat you down. Don't think that you are guaranteed to win. Don't the Galactic Warship capsize happen to you less often?"

After the two talked about it, the game began.

The two opponents the Lakers and Timberwolves encountered before are different. Although they have won each other four times in the regular season, basketball fans all over the world know that the strong team in the regular season and the strong team in the playoffs are two different things. team.

A super team that enters the playoffs will explode with unimaginable energy for ordinary teams.

Even Bai Jidong wasn't ready.

In the first game, the Timberwolves suffered a disastrous defeat, and Bai Jidongkong scored 35+10+10.

On the eve of Game 2, the league announced the winners of the regular season awards.

Bai Jidong was once again selected for the first team, which caused an uproar, and Durant's fans cried wildly.

28+8+4比25+7+7差吗？

The problem is, the winner is the White Wolf.

As soon as Durant's fans made any movement, the mighty Werewolf team immediately occupied the online position and controlled the commanding heights of public opinion.

"It can only be said that KD's luck is bad, and he is in the same era as the two best forwards in history."

"It's time for the league to adjust the best team selection system. The best five players should be selected instead of selected by position."

Bai Jidong didn't respond to all of this, if his teammates hadn't informed him, he wouldn't have known he had been selected for the first team again.

For nine years in a row, he was getting a little bored.

"Can you give a second team? Can you give young people a chance? What are you doing?" Bai Jidong murmured.

The teammates smiled and said nothing, what is textbook pretentiousness?That's it.
