Advance to the first round
After the Thunder won the first game, the morale of the whole team was high, the consecutive outbursts of Durant and Yao Ming caught the Timberwolves off guard, and the tactics arranged by Coach Brooks did not play at all to defeat the opponent.
Winning three games in a row also broke the confidence of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves easily sent the Timberwolves back to their hometown with a 4-0 victory in the first round, because the Thunder had a short break after winning all four games, and the other Western teams except for the Lakers led 3-1 over the Mavericks and the others all played a 2-2 draw, if there is no accident, the Lakers have basically passed the first round, and the remaining Spurs vs. Grizzlies and Rockets vs. Clippers have all fought 2-2, I don't know if their team can smoothly eliminate the opponent and enter the second round.
After the game of the Thunder team, everyone did not relax, and they would train in the stadium every day to adjust their state, Chen Junhao's body has recovered to its peak state after a few days of adjustment, which also made Coach Brooks let go of his worries, Yao Ming's state is still very good, although the continuous outburst made the little giant a little tired, but a few days of rest have also eased up, and several main forces are full of energy.
A few days later, the results of the first round also came out, the Spurs eliminated the Mavericks 4-3, and the Rockets unfortunately lost to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the results have come out, the Thunder. The Lakers, Spurs, and Clippers entered the second round, while the East entered the second round with the Celtics, Heat, Pacers, and Hawks, and the rest were eliminated. In the second round, the West was the Thunder vs. the Clippers, the Lakers vs. the Spurs, the East was the Celtics vs. the Hawks, and the Heat vs. the Pacers. In the evening, the Thunder sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Clippers. Griffin plus this year's new queen bee Chris. The strength of the Paul Clippers is not what it used to be, so Coach Brooks attaches great importance to this game, Chen Junhao was also replaced by Coach Brooks into the starting list, and returned to the starting lineup Chen Junhao and Harden both said that it didn't matter, but Chen Junhao was used to playing as a substitute and had a somewhat awkward feeling of returning to the starting lineup again. When DJ introduced the starting list of the Thunder team, the fans were also surprised, but they quickly reacted, and after the surprise, they were happy, and the fans who had not seen Chen Junhao play the starting team for a long time were excited, because every time Chen Junhao was on the field, it would bring surprises to everyone, but with the shortening of the playing time, it was difficult to see Chen Junhao galloping wantonly on the court, and I don't know what this magical Asian "Peter Pan" will bring to you in the next game. Fans are also looking forward to what surprises Chen Junhao, who started again, will bring to everyone. After introducing the list of players, the coaches of the two teams called their players to arrange some final arrangements, Coach Brooks's sudden substitution also disrupted the previous arrangement of the head coach of the Clippers, and the head coach of the Clippers also thought that Chen Junhao would still sit on the bench and come off the bench, but he did not expect to be put on a bench by Coach Brooks, and the head coach of the Clippers had to redeploy the team's tactics, Paul, who was originally responsible for defending Westbrook, was arranged to defend Chen Junhao, and Crawford was sent to defend Durant, and the veteran Chauncey. Billups Westbrook went, but in this way the defense of Yao Ming was a little weak, but there was no way, Griffin had to be responsible for watching Ibaka, and in the end it could only be DeAndrew. Jordan went to defend Yao Ming, although little Jordan's bounce power is amazing, but the height and experience are relatively far behind, especially in the face of Yao Ming's old fritters.
