Just the day after Anjie and his Trail Blazers advanced, another first-round matchup of the Western Conference playoffs was about to have a result.

At this moment at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the hearts of all the fans are in their throats. Because their opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves, can cause a lot of trouble for the Thunder.

This season, the Timberwolves, with Towns, Wiggins and Jimmy Butler, can be said to have shined in the West.

Downs and Wiggins have matured, and Jimmy Butler has done his job as big brother.

These three impactful guys have teamed up to make the Minnesota Timberwolves make the playoffs for the first time since 2004!

For a team like the Timberwolves, who have only played eight playoff games since the team's inception, they are thankful that they can make it out of the encirclement. Now, however, the bunch doesn't seem to be satisfied with the first round. They want more!

"Karl Anthony Downs had a beautiful footwork, he deceived Adams and went straight to the basket! Good shot, Towns scored easily inside, and the Timberwolves bit the score again!" Reggie Miller couldn't help but applaud Towns, since Anjie appeared, the big men in the United States have become more and more versatile.

Whether it's Downs or Jaril Okafor, whether it's Anthony Davis or his inside partner Cousins. The emergence of Anjie has set a good benchmark for the big men in the United States.

Interior players no longer only need to be strong as before, they just need to be athletic. Howard's type of center has been almost eliminated from the league.

Now if a big man wants to survive in the NBA, he must become all-powerful, like Anjie and others.

You see, isn't even Brook Lopez starting to shoot threes from beyond the three-point line now? It's not that he's afraid to play up against others under the basket, it's just that the three-point shot can add an extra offensive tool to his arsenal.

All the big men are trying to make themselves more versatile, and the Thunder, who don't have enough depth on the inside, suffer from Downs.

Westbrook didn't care so much, he just knew that the team had lost points, and all he needed to do was get them back quickly!

Westbrook's explosive impact caused the Timberwolves' defense to be torn to shreds in an instant, and Westbrook drove straight into the field and scored again with a tough layup.

Anthony and Westbrook lightly high-fived after the goal, he did not blame Westbrook for not passing, as long as the team can win, Anthony is willing to make any compromise, even if it is to give up the ball!

"It's horrible, Westbrook is so excited for today's game. If he had been in this state in the first few games, the Timberwolves would have been swept out of the tournament long ago!"

The Timberwolves were back, and Jimmy Butler had just gotten the basketball when Westbrook stabbed him away.

Because he rushed too fast, Westbrook stumbled on his own feet and fell to the ground.

Despite the fall, Westbrook didn't forget to keep the basketball under control. Not afraid of any pain, the guy jerked out his arm and grabbed the basketball on the wooden floor, crushing it under him.

Everyone on the Timberwolves immediately pounced on Westbrook, and some even lay directly on Westbrook.

Westbrook withstood the pressure, and after seeing Anthony running towards the frontcourt, Westbrook suddenly threw the ball forward.

The crowd reflexively looked in the direction of the basketball's flight, and in order to fight Westbrook for the ball, the Timberwolves now had four people around him.

This also means that Anthony is facing a basket with only one person to defend at the moment!

This situation is just a piece of cake for Anthony! Facing Morrow, who guards the basket alone, Anthony directly uses a throw to end everything.

The fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered, not only for George, who scored, but also for Westbrook, who had just made a heroic save.

I don't know why, Westbrook was unusually excited today. Although the Thunder had already won the match point with a total score of 3-1 at this time. But Westbrook's excitement was still wrong.

In the following games, the Timberwolves were still torn apart by the impactful Westbrook. Towns, Wiggins and Jimmy, with Westbrook and Anthony teamed up, ultimately stopped in the first round of the playoffs

For the Timberwolves, this season has undoubtedly been a success. Reaching the playoffs for the first time in 14 years is enough to satisfy Minnesota fans and owners.

But for the winner, the Thunder, the victory over the Timberwolves is just a prelude to the playoffs.

The reason Westbrook suddenly became so excited in this game was not because the Thunder got the match point. It's because he learned that Anjie and the Portland Trail Blazers were already waiting for him on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals in advance!

Morris, Ann, and two former teammates collided in the playoffs, something Westbrook couldn't ask for.

Although Morris has been lost, Westbrook now has stars like Anthony around him. The Thunder's goal is simple, to get back to the Finals and win the championship!

During the game, Westbrook's mind was full of thoughts about the picture of himself and Anjie fighting each other. Whenever he thinks about this, Westbrook wishes he had met them sooner. And the more he thought about it, the more Westbrook wanted the game to end quickly.

As a result, the hapless Timberwolves were defeated by Westbrook, who suddenly broke out.

As soon as the game ended, Westbrook celebrated ceremoniously and walked into the tunnel alone and rushed to the home team's locker room at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

He immediately opened his cabinet, took out his mobile phone, and dialed An Jie's number.

"Congratulations! Russell!" As soon as he answered the phone, An Jie's voice came out of the receiver.

It seems that this guy has just watched the live broadcast of the game.

"Tell Morris kid, don't worry about me and the Thunder. Look, aren't we all right?" Westbrook was very happy, after many years, he finally had the opportunity to compete with his former good brothers!

"You have a good rest for the past two days, man, it's not going to be that easy when you come to Portland. Anjie is happy for Westbrook's promotion, but he will not forget that in the playoffs, there are no friends, only enemies!

"Rest assured, I'm definitely going to give my best in Portland. You won't be disappointed, Ann, you're going to get a fantastic Western Conference semifinals!" Westbrook looked at Anthony's cabinet, the position that used to belong to Anjie. Now, I have to take this new friend with me to defeat my former comrades-in-arms!

"When you win the game, I'll treat you to dinner. ”

"It's okay to invite me to dinner, but you want to win?"

"Stinky boy, your breath is not small!"

"You know Ann, I love challenges the most. Wait in Portland, the Oklahoma City Thunder are coming!"

An Jie hung up the phone with a grin, the Thunder team is indeed a strong opponent. But I don't know why, An Jie is very happy.

Meeting Westbrook again in the playoffs, a moment that Anjie has been waiting for years.

Come on Russell, let's fight and ignite the entire alliance!
