Bishop of the Devil

In the second quarter of the game, Sanders first let Garnett rest for two minutes, and then put Garnett on the court.

Richard also followed suit. When Garnett was not on the court, he would put Ben on the court to rest. As soon as Garnett came on the court, he would immediately switch to Ben.

This makes Garnett very uncomfortable...

Although he has been selected to the All-Stars now, and even appeared as a starter in this All-Stars, he is still quite immature and is far from reaching his peak.

You must know that Garnett is only a little over 21 years old at the moment. On the other hand, Ben is more than two years older than Garnett and is already 24 years old...

Garnett can now see that the press conference where they built up their relationship has no effect at all.

Originally, they were thinking whether the young Richard would relax a little bit about the Timberwolves because of the rapprochement at the press conference.

But now it seems that I am not relaxed at all!

As soon as Garnett comes on the stage, he will immediately have a boss to greet him...

…

"ah!"

After Garnett hit a field goal, he beat his chest and roared crazily with unlimited passion.

Ben looked at Garnett strangely. He felt that Garnett had gone crazy because of his guard. He just made a mid-range shot. It was not a one-stop tomahawk dunk, nor was it a spacer dunk. It was worth it. Roaring like this? !

Richard sat in the audience and laughed. Today's NBA is becoming more and more interesting, and it is developing more and more towards the NBA in Richard's memory...

When he first entered the league in 1996, Richard actually didn't watch basketball at this time. He didn't watch the league stars play in the past two years. Although he must have understood it, it was only due to work reasons in his previous life. He read it from Wikipedia and Impressions obtained from various data online.

And now the time has entered 1998. Some of the stars that Richard is quite familiar with have gradually grown up and gradually become the mainstay of this league. Except for a few changes due to Richard's appearance, the others are all the same as Richard's memory. Big difference.

Because the Timberwolves are so weak, Richard actually watched the game more as a fan, appreciating the iron-blooded mid-range shot of Garnett, the wolf king.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

From Garnett's bitter expression, we know the outcome of this game...

The Timberwolves suffered a huge defeat in the away game, losing by a huge margin of 22 points, which directly made the Timberwolves generals a little discouraged.

It's not that they didn't work hard enough, they really tried their best and played very hard on the court!

Garnett played a whopping 43 minutes in this game, and Marbury also played a whopping 40 minutes, which is already quite hard...

But it's useless. The gap between their lineup and the Trail Blazers is really too big.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Richard didn't make a big deal and let Sao lead Kobe and the others to fight with their eyes wide open, they could beat the Timberwolves.

The current situation in the Western Conference is like this. The strong ones are too strong, and the weak ones are too weak. Even if the Timberwolves make the playoffs, they are still weak in the eyes of the strong teams in the Western Conference...

In this game, Garnett ended up with 17 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, which was considered a quasi-triple-double.

To say it's bad, it certainly can't be called bad, but it certainly can't be said to be outstanding. Even in this game, Xiao O's opponent was too bad, and he got 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks...

As for Ben, he had 3 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

Think about it, excluding Sasha, Ben and O'Brien scored 25 rebounds together. How can the Timberwolves win?

It can be said that the Timberwolves' inside line was completely destroyed by the Auburn combination. With the two working together, the bully Garnett had a hard time...

Marbury, who plays in the Timberwolves' backcourt, scored a lot in this game, but his shooting percentage was quite bad. He took 25 shots in the game, but only scored 23 points. Such a scoring efficiency is obviously difficult to save the Timberwolves from being exploited. The fate of being slaughtered.

Sanders sighed heavily, there was no chance...

Judging from this game alone, it’s completely out of the question!

In the first round of the playoffs last season, they were beaten by the Rockets, who were second in the Western Conference. It seems that they are doomed again in the playoffs this season. There is at least an 80-90% chance that they will be defeated by the Rockets, who are first in the Western Conference. Trailblazers shave their heads...

However, Sanders is not under any psychological pressure. Originally, the Timberwolves management did not have much hope in recent years. They cannot force Sanders to lead the team in the playoffs with the current bullshit lineup. Blocking the God of Death is simply unrealistic.

Even if someone shaves his head again this time, it will definitely not affect Sanders' handsome position.

…

Just as Sanders himself expected, after being defeated by the Trail Blazers in the first game, the G2 Timberwolves ushered in another major defeat.

Even though Garnett's iron-blooded mid-range shooting percentage was a bit high in this game and he scored 22 points in the end, he still failed to lead the team to victory. The main reason was that Marbury was half-choked to death by Richard and completely beaten. Only 12 points, 7 assists per game, and 6 turnovers...

Wait until G3, this is the home court of the Timberwolves, this is their last hope...

But this hope only lasted for half a quarter. The Timberwolves played half a quarter and kept the score tight with the Trail Blazers. However, as soon as the half quarter was over, they immediately collapsed.

The Trail Blazers easily defeated the Timberwolves again in G3!

With a big score of 3:0, the Trail Blazers directly gave the Timberwolves a bald head, and he easily got a ticket to advance to the Western Conference semifinals!

It was so easy that before the Trail Blazers fans could react, their home team had already advanced...

Think about how many difficulties the Trail Blazers went through last season, how many outside moves they used, and finally relied on O'Brien's desperate burst to get the chance to advance to the Western Conference semifinals!

And this season, it was so easy. The Timberwolves didn't even organize a decent resistance and were directly eliminated by the Trail Blazers!

Such a strong promotion directly made the Trail Blazers fans have infinite reveries in their hearts...

Will this Blazers be able to defeat the Bulls? !

It seems that there is no chance...

Although the Timberwolves are really not a strong team, with a 50% winning rate in the regular season, they can't even get a ticket to the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, but the Blazers can defeat them so easily, which is enough to show the strength of the Blazers.

Next, it’s up to the Western Conference semifinals to see if the Trail Blazers can continue their strength!

…

After the Trail Blazers swept the Timberwolves to advance, in less than half an hour, the Eastern Bulls also won their third game against the New Jersey Nets, also giving Cali Perry's Nets a sweep...

It is worth mentioning that Brent Barry performed quite well in this series!

After being boldly placed at the point guard position by Cali Perry, Barry Jr. had his best season since entering the league, especially in this series against the Bulls. He averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists per game. With his statistics, he is already qualified to become a star!

Kari Perry has led the Nets to the playoffs this season, which has satisfied the Nets management. After all, the Nets lineup is definitely at the bottom of the league. They can enter the season in the Eastern Conference where there are so many strong players. In the postgame, this was enough to prove Cali Perry’s ability.
