Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 412 Rolling
"73 wins in the regular season, a new historical record was born!"

"This Timberwolves may also build a dynasty with three consecutive championships like the Bulls. They have become part of a great team and they will always be part of league history. Congratulations to them!"

The Timberwolves are not only the first record in the league this season, but also the first record in history.

Zhang Sixin still made history while ensuring the health and physical strength of the players.

The outside world's praise for the Timberwolves can be said to have broken through the sky.

Zhang Sixin has also received a lot of praise, but now he will lead the players to calm down and work hard for the team's third championship.

In Zhang Sixin's fourth season in this world, the league structure has been different from the original history.

On the Lakers side, Kobe fought until the season was reimbursed, and it didn't help the team enter the playoffs.

In fact, it was decided before the last game. They ended the series with a victory, which was considered the last respect.

Because the Rockets lost to the Lakers, they fell to eighth in the West and became the opponent of the Timberwolves.

The Thunder's second opponent in the West is the Warriors. The Warriors didn't play well in the final stage, but in the end they relied on their players to take turns to keep their qualification for the playoffs.

The third place in the West is the Clippers, and the Clippers are not bad this season. Their opponent is the Grizzlies.

The fourth-ranked Nuggets in the Western Conference are against the fifth-ranked Spurs.

The Spurs, who were robbed by the Timberwolves, are obviously much weaker than the original history.

That is to say, the competition in the West this season is actually not particularly fierce, and they are not like the Mavericks, who can't even make the playoffs.

In the Eastern Conference, the Heat are unsuspectingly number one. Their opponent is the weak Bucks with a winning percentage of less than half, and only such a weak team in the Eastern Conference can squeeze into the playoffs.

In fact, before the last day of the Eastern Conference, the record ranking of the regular season is determined, and they can be regarded as all in advance for the precise preparations for the playoffs.

The Knicks, second in the East, are against the Celtics.

It seems that the Knicks are about to rise this season. In fact, there is only one team in the East this season, the Heat. The gap between the Knicks and the Heat is very large.

Also because of the Timberwolves stealing people, the third in the East became the Nets. The Pacers, who were the third in history, are now only sixth. They actually couldn't make it to the playoffs in the West.

The Bulls, fourth in the East, are playing against the Eagles, fifth in the East. They belong to an unremarkable group without any attention-grabbing stars.

The Bulls lost Rose, and it can be said that they lost a large number of neutral fans.

Without Rose, the Bulls are left with a slow-paced defense that many fans dislike.

Four days after the end of the regular season, the Timberwolves ushered in the first game of the playoffs.

With the previous rotation and a relatively long period of adjustment, all Timberwolves players are physically strong.

If other teams have a dense schedule in the final stage of the season like them, it is impossible to have this state.

In the first round of the playoffs, the outside world didn't seem to care much about the Timberwolves' opponent, the Rockets.

The Rockets players are naturally unwilling. Bledsoe, as a veteran of the Timberwolves, also said that the team will go all out, and they have the ability to cause trouble for the Timberwolves.

On the day of the game, the Target Center, home of the Timberwolves, was full of voices again.

Now during the playoffs of the Timberwolves, it is a carnival day for Minnesota fans.

They didn't expect the Timberwolves to reach this level a few years ago.

Fans firmly believe that they are already the most powerful team in league history.

The Rockets' lineup in the playoffs is slightly different from the final period of the regular season.

When they faced the Timberwolves last time, they used a two-tower lineup.

It turned out that the Twin Towers couldn't win the rebounds and couldn't keep up with the speed, so this time they used a fake starter Smith at the fourth position.

When the time is right, they will play a junior and a junior, and Parsons mentioned offensive basketball at the four.

But the Rockets didn't attack at all at the beginning of this game. The team is also led by young people. The Rockets and Timberwolves were far behind when they entered the playoffs for the first time. Each of them was out of shape.

Harden's performance was fairly normal, but the pressure was on him, and he couldn't handle the Timberwolves' defense.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves will bloom more when they come up, directly occupying the advantage.

The Rockets quickly replaced Delfino. As the sixth man of the Rockets, Delfino has rich experience in the playoffs.

However, Delfino doesn't come into play right away.

The Rockets' own performance is part of it. The key is that the Timberwolves are too strong, both offensive and defensive.

Soon, the Timberwolves led to double digits.

In the first half, the Rockets had little power to fight back.

In the third quarter, Zhang Sixin told the players to concentrate, but the Rockets were worse than expected.

They still didn't make it out, and the Timberwolves clocked out of get off work in three quarters.

In fact, the strength of the Rockets is not that bad. They mainly have their own problems.

This group of young people will face the strongest Timberwolves in the league when they enter the playoffs, and the psychological pressure is too great.

After the game, Rockets coach McHale also said: "This is not the true strength of the boys. They have already felt the playoffs, and we will show a different self next."

Zhang Sixin also said: "They are also a very young team. They have good players. We know very well that it will not be so easy in the future."

There is a big gap between the performances of the two sides, and there is actually nothing to say.

Three days later, the Timberwolves played their second home game, and the Rockets directly changed the starting lineup.

Rockets coach McHale reacted relatively quickly, but it's hard to say whether it will be useful.

In order to better limit the Timberwolves' perimeter, the Rockets used double guards.

Bledsoe and Beverley are both average heights, but both are good defensively.

It's just that the Timberwolves not only have an outside line, Parsons directly starts at the fourth position, and he can't hold Love at all.

The Rockets' choice is to put it on the defensive end and get it back on the offensive end.

Harden did perform well today, but the lead is still the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves play a poor defensive team, and the offensive end can really soar.

Even if the Rockets have made arrangements for Curry, the Timberwolves still claim that the five starters are all All-Stars.

But the Rockets have no other choice, and they are going all out to attack.

Moreover, it is only a seven-man rotation.

No matter from which aspect, the Rockets have already started desperately.

"Guarantee the success rate, let them follow our fast pace, not our opponent's pace." Zhang Sixin said.

The Rockets are fighting now, and in this case they can easily be led into rhythm.

As a smart defender, the Timberwolves will guide the Rockets to attack.

In this way, the game can be played lively, making fans feel that the Rockets are working hard, but the Timberwolves will firmly control the audience and not give their opponents any chance of a possible comeback.
