Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 258
At the end of the fifth game between the Timberwolves and the Hornets, there were no waves, and the Hornets even dropped their defensive strength.

Being forced to the cliff, it is not without reason that many teams collapse directly, because there is no hope in sight.

As the two sides replaced the main players in the last minute, the playoffs in the Western Conference were also settled.

The Timberwolves won the series in four consecutive rounds when the core players were accidentally injured and lost the first game.

And Jeremy Lin, who played an All-Star performance, can be said to have become famous in one battle.

If he does not have a contract, he will be pursued by many teams next season. Competitive sports are very realistic.

Now, the Timberwolves still have a few years of rookie benefits.

Of course, after quitting Linsanity, he is just a starting-level rookie with a very good price/performance ratio.

Paul said after the game: "The Timberwolves played very well, we just lost to a very, very good team. They hit the shot, but we missed the ball."

He also expressed his displeasure, "We had some bad calls in the game, and tonight was really a long night for us. We couldn't play the way we did. For example, Okafor was always called for fouls, and so on... Such a team is hard to beat!"

Paul is like this, with a high spirit and unconvinced. Of course, his strength is also strong, but his spirit is still stronger.

Hornets coach Monty Williams looked more open after the game.Williams praised his disciples. He said: "My players never gave in. They didn't pay attention to those who questioned us. They just worked hard every day. Tonight we saw the results of this season. They kept fighting. They fought until the last second of the game. It was great to work with such a good team for a season."

Zhang Sixin took Versailles after the game and said: "The depth of our team is unmatched by many teams in the league. It took us a little time to build this team... Haha, we deserve to gain."

And Love, who has been controlling the rebounds and is considered by many outsiders to determine the trend of the playoffs, concluded: "We are good at making adjustments and learning, so as the series progresses, we have learned a lot. This is thanks to our coaching staff. We played our due performance in the backcourt games of this series and made full use of our advantages."

The Timberwolves are the first team in the West to end the first-round series, which will give them a little more rest time.

They also need these breaks. Under Zhang Sixin's request, the Timberwolves played extraordinarily hard in the playoffs. Only after they adjusted can they face their opponents in the next round better.

As for playing one more game and giving Curry a longer rest, it is actually unnecessary.

Curry is already recovering steadily, and there's no need for an indeterminate amount of time because he's draining the team and doing something dangerous.

And playing one more game, Curry's rest time may not change, because it depends on the opponent.

In the first round of the playoffs, the first to end the playoffs was actually the Celtics in the East. The old giants swept the Knicks partnered by Anthony and Stoudemire.

If you add Billups, the Knicks can barely be said to be the Big Three, but the gap between the two teams is actually relatively large.

Under the defense of the Celtics, Anthony and Stoudemire, two well-known offensive All-Star players, really didn't play well in the series. Anthony failed to win a game after highlighting it.

Coupled with Billups' injury, the Knicks' two big-budget teams took turns in the playoffs.

When the offensive team can't play offense and instead allows the opposing defensive team to play offense, fans can realize the Knicks' mistake.

Willing to spend money, and then the head coach and star players do not match, star players and star players do not match, it seems to be the fate of the Knicks.

The Heat, a team composed of the new Big Three in the East, defeated the 4ers 1:76 in the first round.

There was also no suspense in this series. The 76ers were directly hammered to death by the Big Three composed of James, Wade and Bosh.

After the Heat won the match point, the 76ers relied on defense and unstable offensive players such as Lu Wei on the bench to win a game and avoid being swept.

The current Big Three of the Heat are indeed powerful, but the rest of the team is too mediocre, but the 76ers cannot grasp the weak link of the Heat, and the strength is too far behind.

And the core player of the 76ers, Iguodala, performed extremely hips, far worse than the young Holiday. It is estimated that the team has gradually lost patience with this buddy.

How the upstart Bulls in the Eastern Conference will perform in the playoffs, at least the Pacers, who have a winning percentage of less than [-]% in the regular season, still cannot be tested.

The Bulls' offensive weakness was not exposed much in the first round of the playoffs, because the Pacers' defense was not well targeted, and Rose was able to penetrate it alone.

The Pacers also only stole a game after the Bulls won the match point.

Their core player, Granger, feels that his individual performance is okay, but he is the type who cannot lead the team, and his offense is not to the extent that one person can support the team.

Because the teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs are strong and weak, the outside world also believes that there will be no suspense in the first round.

But things still had an accident, and the Magic pulled their hips in the playoffs.

It feels like the Eagles have seen through the reality of the Magic. Howard's powerful inside allows him to score. Isn't the Magic just shooting birds at random? Just block them with three-pointers.

Then everyone discovered that magic is really not as strong as imagined.

Except for Howard, the Magic are paper tigers.

Howard already has enough advantage inside, but the Magic can't play outside.

The funny thing is that after the Eagles won the match point, Howard didn't perform much in the fifth game. Instead, the Magic won the game with a burst of outside shots.

The team, the core and other players cannot play together. This can only explain one problem. There are problems with team tactics and role team matching.

The team's tactics must fit the core players of the team, and if they fail to do so, they will hurt each other.

The Magic made several trades this season, but they actually worked hard, but they didn't work hard enough, so Howard will definitely leave after hurting each other.

After all, they were killed by the Eagles in the first round, and they were too far away from the goal of the championship.

And to say how strong the Eagles are this season is not necessarily, Zhang Sixin thinks the Magic is still pulling the hips.

Of course, compared with the first place in the regular season in the Western Conference, the Magic is not a hip puller.

After all, it is relatively common to lose the fourth in the regular season and lose to the fifth in the regular season. The first loss in the regular season to the eighth in the regular season is an event that will be written into the history of the league.

Although there is a butterfly like the Timberwolves, as if by fate, the Spurs still met the Grizzlies.

Thus, Black Eight happened.
