The King of the NBA

Chapter 424 - End of regular season



   In the second quarter, the Timberwolves’ bench lineup further widened the points difference, watching the Warriors’ Cole coach’s eyelids jump straight, the Timberwolves’ bench lineup is too strong.

   And several players are still very young, what will become of them in a year or two?

Of course, he only needs to consider the next one or two years, because Jokic and Clarkson are both signed rookie contracts. When the player option year is reached, the Timberwolves will have to pay a large price to retain them, and may not even stay. they. Everyone saw the abilities of Jokic and Clarkson, and they knew they were underestimated during the draft, so there will be no fewer teams fighting for them, and they will certainly not be willing to play the bench all the time.

   “The Timberwolves in this year’s playoffs are definitely our biggest opponent.” Coach Cole secretly said, he called a timeout, sent Thompson and Green up, the bench lineup can not beat the Timberwolves, can only rely on the main force.

   On the Timberwolves side, coach Adelman also replaced and replaced Love, Rubio, and partner Jokic, Brewer, Clarkson.

The game continues on both sides, and the Timberwolves still have the upper hand. Their inside advantage is too great. The combination of Jokic and Love is very lethal. Both have delicate skills. Love has a more comprehensive scoring method. Kiki’s advantage lies in the passing. He can complete the inside pass with Love, and assisted Love with more than one goal.

   Coach Cole sighed and replaced both Curry and Barnes.

   “Ning Yi, Martin, you guys too.” Coach Adelman waved his hand.

   Both sides have almost replaced the main lineup, the Warriors are still sharp on the outside, but the inside loses. In addition, the Timberwolves’ outside line is not bad. Ning Yi’s three-pointer is equally accurate. He may not be able to compare with Curry’s simple three-pointer technique. After all, Curry’s three-pointer has almost reached the peak of level nine, and Ning Yi is only nineth Junior, but Ning Yi has better physical quality, allowing him to shoot more calmly when facing the defense, so he is no less threatening than Curry on the three-point line.

  Martin and Rubio plus together can basically offset the harm caused by Thompson. Barnes feels down. Green simply does not shoot. He immediately defends and organizes.

   In this way, the Timberwolves are almost indistinguishable from the Warriors on the outside, but the Timberwolves clearly have an advantage in the inside. As the game progresses, the Timberwolves gradually widen the point difference.

  By the end of the first half, the Timberwolves led by 12 points.

   entered the second half, the Warriors hit a wave of shock waves with a quick counterattack, reducing the point difference to 3 points.

Ning Yi stood up and scored. First, he made a breakthrough and forced a layup. It also caused a defensive foul. Then he made a continuous cross step after a sudden pull. He made a solid three-pointer and scored 6 points to help the Timberwolves. Live the situation.

   The score of both sides is still anxious, and the fight is fierce.

   “This Western Finale preview really played the playoffs.”

   “Well, it seems that the Timberwolves are still stronger. The combination of Ning Yi and Love is definitely not weaker than Curry + Thompson, and the Timberwolves’ bench lineup is too strong. This is the key to suppressing the Warriors.”

  Everyone understands that the Warriors are playing well and are very strong, but they are still a little worse than the Timberwolves. Maybe the starting lineup is not a loss, but the bench lineup is a bit worse.

  No, it should be said that the Timberwolves’ backup lineup is too strong.

  ……

  In a blink of an eye, the game came to an end.

   At this point, the Timberwolves led by 14 points, with 4 minutes left in the game, basically no suspense.

Coach    Cole sighed, frowning. He was thinking about what to do if he encounters the Timberwolves in the playoffs, how can he beat the Timberwolves?

   In the last few minutes, the Warriors started a three-pointer rain, almost hitting the score back, but the Timberwolves took it easy, Carrefour steadily played inside and Ning Yi always scored at a critical moment.

   In the end, the Warriors’ final counterattack failed and the score was 129:118. The Timberwolves defeated the Warriors.

Curry scored 36 points, made 6 of 10 3-pointers, Thompson made 5 of 8 3-pointers, and scored 28 points, but Ning Yi and Carrefour performed just as well. Ning Yi scored 32 points and 9 Rebounds, 10 assists, Love, 27 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists.

At the end of this game, Adelman had a bottom of heart. The following games began to allow Ning Yi and Love to take turns. The two played two games and took two games. The Timberwolves won and lost three games, but no one cared because because They have already locked in the playoffs. Even if they lost three of the last four games, they still hold a 69-13 record, ranking second in the West.

   At this point, the Timberwolves all the regular season games are over.

Two days after   , the remaining games of the NBA regular season also ended. The Timberwolves ranked second in the West with an excellent record of 69 wins and 13 losses. The first in the West was the Warriors. They scored 73 wins and 9 losses this season. The third place is the Spurs, they won 67 wins and 15 losses.

   This season’s Western competition is terrible. If you put it in the past, the Spurs’ 67 wins and 15 losses are already amazing. It is definitely the first in the West and even the first in the league.

   After all, the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference this season are only 62 wins and 20 losses, not as good as the Spurs.

   But even if the Cavaliers only have 62 wins and 20 losses, no one would dare to underestimate them. If there are no surprises, this year’s finals will definitely have the Cavaliers. As for the team on the west side, it is difficult to say. The Warriors, Timberwolves, Spurs, Thunder, these four teams are very powerful, and are possible.

   “The west is too scary.”

   “It is estimated that the other teams in the west are now hiding in the toilet and crying~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is totally not alive.”

   “Yeah, they must be thinking, how good I would be in the east. Look at the east, the first knight is 62 wins and 20 losses.”

“Oh, even if the Eastern Conference is weak, there is James in the Eastern Conference. Those teams in the Eastern Conference are lucky enough to make the playoffs. In the end, they are still the Cavaliers. In the Western Conference, they have the Warriors with Curry and Thompson. , The Timberwolves of Ning Yi and Love, the Spurs led by Leonard and Aldridge, the Thunder of Durant and Westbrook, my God, they all look as strong. I really don’t know who will win the Western Championship in the end. .”

   “I am optimistic about the Warriors, 73 wins and 9 losses.”

   “I think the Timberwolves are the strongest. Seeing that there was no preview of the Western Finals a few days ago, the Warriors lost.”

   “The Spurs are not weak, don’t forget that in addition to Leonard and Aldridge, there is also the blessing of Popovich.”

   “The Thunder and Durant, the super scorer…”

   The regular season came to an end, and fans began to discuss the playoffs and made various predictions.

   As far as the playoffs are concerned, the attention of the West is significantly higher than that of the East. The Eastern Cavaliers are a big player, making the East playoffs look suspicious, while the West is different.
