NIP Chapter 331 Stopped in the first round for 2 consecutive seasons
Chapter 331 Stopped in the first round for 2 consecutive seasons
The series catches up to 1:2, as long as you win G4, you can reach 2:2, and then you can go to Tianwangshan.
That's the theory, but it's not that easy in practice.
The Timberwolves won a game, which made them already impossible to be swept.The outside world's sense of contempt for them is also much lower.Shou Ye relied on his efficient performance of 42 points, making him the most discussed figure in the past two days.
Some fans have expressed on the forum that the Timberwolves are not worthy of owning a beast, especially his fans, who really think that he has worked too hard, being both a father and a mother.Iron men can't stand it, and whose physical strength is unlimited?
There was a lot of discussion from the outside world, but Shou Ye completely ignored it. He didn't want these arguments to affect his game and affect his judgment.
Winning or losing this round of the series actually doesn't mean much, not because the black eight is not strong enough, but because the possibility is too small.But there is a difference between the kind of sweeping and playing one's own characteristics without fighting spirit and being abused, and the kind of exit of losing in the end.
The end is the same, but the process is different.
Shou Ye wants to let the outside world see through this round of the series, let the team management see what the team's future direction should be.Who should be the ones you should fight to keep, who should be the ones you should clean up.
If the management is still chaotic, Shou Ye feels that he should not hand over his future to them.Leaving by yourself is the best option.
On April 4, the Timberwolves continued to sit at home and ushered in the G29 series with the Spurs.
This game is very important to both sides. Once the Timberwolves lose, they will face the desperate situation of falling behind 1:3. You must know that G5 of the series will be played at the home of the Spurs.
As far as the Spurs are concerned, they certainly don't like the series to be stretched too long.They are aiming to win the championship. The team is relatively old. They played 6 or 7 games in the first round. Their physical fitness will affect their subsequent games.So naturally it is best to solve it quickly.
Both sides did not change the starting lineup, but judging from the situation of the last game, not changing the starting lineup does not mean that the strategy of the game will not be changed.
After the start of the game, the Spurs' strategy was obviously adjusted. They let the team's core Duncan directly face Shou Ye.But it's not a single defense, but from time to time, nearby players will come to help defend and harass him, not giving him an easy one-on-one opportunity.
Once Shou Ye hits the ball, the Spurs will play less and more locally, and then rotate.The last resort is to empty Brewer and Rubio's 3-pointers.
Even they sometimes release Love's 3 points.Although Love's 3-pointers are very good, he is also unstable. In this regard, he is worse than the starters Shou Ye and Kevin Martin.
The Timberwolves' defensive and offensive state is not as good as the previous game.In the last game, the Spurs did not maintain their defensive strength because they were afraid of fouling.
In this game, the referee's scale was very wide and confrontation was encouraged, which made the Timberwolves complain.Except for Shou Ye, the other four of them are not good at confrontation. It is difficult to score when they are close to each other, and the team's offense has stagnated.
The Spurs' offense is constantly targeting the Timberwolves' colanders, using precise passing and cutting to find good opportunities and score steadily.
The Timberwolves were suppressed throughout the game, and the Spurs finally showed a championship-level offensive and defensive performance, not giving their opponents any chance.
In the end, the Timberwolves lost to the Spurs 85:100 at home, trailing 1:3 in the series.
If there are some reasons to be found for G1 and G2 in the series, then there is no reason for this G4 played at home.
In fact, there is really no reason to say, just can't beat.
寿叶全场受限于夹击，他依然砍下全队最高的24分15个篮板4次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽。
But except for him and the substitute Barea, no one in the team scored in double figures...
This game completely blew the Timberwolves' self-confidence. They were suppressed from beginning to end, which made people feel very desperate.
Shou Ye felt that his journey to the playoffs this season was coming to an end. He really didn't expect that at this point in the game, standing next to him was his former teammate Barea, who was less than 1 meters tall...
Shou Ye did not accept an interview after the game, and he didn't know what else he could say.
If this team is aiming for a championship in the future, then it must undergo major surgery, and it will not stand if it is not broken!If you just want to play the playoffs and get addicted to selling some tickets, then you can do a few random operations, but Shou Ye probably won't play anymore.
On May 5, the Timberwolves were a guest at the Spurs AT&T Center Arena.
If the Timberwolves lose this game again, they will end all games this season.This game is almost a battle of life and death for them.
Adelman still did not change the starting lineup.
In fact, not only Shou Ye knows, almost everyone knows that Adelman will not change the starting lineup.If you want to change, G2 or G3 will be changed. If you don’t change at that time, you won’t change in the following games.
In Shou Ye's view, in the face of the Spurs' total offense and defense, the Timberwolves are actually the same whether they change the starting lineup, because your bench lineup does not have a character like the Spurs Yaodao.The strength gap between the two teams is obvious, and it is not something you can catch up with by adjusting the starting lineup.
In other words, the Spurs have room for adjustment, but the Timberwolves do not.
The process of the game is very similar to G4, the difference is that the Minnesota players, except Shou Ye and Love, have picked up their touch, which keeps the suspense of the game until the last quarter.
But in the end, the Spurs' offense and defense were stronger at critical moments, and the Timberwolves' offensive instability and defensive weakness were too obvious, which made them lose the game in the end.
The Timberwolves lost 1:4 in the series and stopped the first round for two consecutive seasons!
寿叶全场砍下30分11个篮板5次助攻2个抢断2个盖帽，将自己的一切都留在比赛中了，但依然没有帮助球队将系列赛延续。
AT&T Center Arena cheered thunderously, their home team will advance to the next round.
After the final whistle sounded, Duncan went to Shouye and hugged him tightly.
In Shou Ye's ear, Duncan whispered to him.
Back in the locker room, Barea asked Shuba what Duncan said.
Shou Ye was a little speechless, but still said: "What else can he say? The future is yours!"
The bad old man is very bad. That's what you said to James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period. Now 7 years have passed in a blink of an eye.As a result, your old boy is getting younger and younger, and you are still using this poisonous chicken soup to fool your younger generations!
But Shou Ye couldn't help it, the old man just pretended it for him!He has advanced, he is indeed qualified to publish poisonous chicken soup, you have nothing to do.
Shou Ye was also really helpless. He really gave his all in this round of the series, but he still didn't get a good result.It's about the same as their series against the Thunder last season.The difference in strength is too obvious.
