At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 127-69.

Eight of the Mavericks scored in double figures, with Sun Hao and Nowitzki scoring 18 and 16 points respectively, while Nash had a strong performance with 16 points, 14 assists and only two turnovers.

On the Timberwolves' side, Garnett scored 30 points, but apart from him, only Szczebiak scored in double figures......

At the end of the game, there was no revelry or celebration, only the laughter of the fans.

In this game, there is no need to cheer or shout to vent your emotions, because the cool part has already been cool before the game is over.

127 points, which is the team's highest score in the playoffs since Sun Hao joined the Mavericks.

At the same time, the 58-point difference also set a record for the NBA playoffs with the largest single-game net score.

In fact, this point difference is only 10 points away from the NBA's single-game net point record.

Nelson Sr. didn't want to, but he had already wiped out the Timberwolves.

Although Garnett was still strong in attending the team's post-match press conference, the always stubborn Wolf King also bowed his head at the press conference.

That kind of atmosphere made reporters afraid to mention the word 58.

Because he really mentioned it, Garnett may really want to jump out of the table and stage a live PK.

However, after the game of the press conference, a reporter said that he heard a loud noise in the locker room.

Later, it was said that the fire hydrant in the Timberwolves locker room was smashed.

But true or false, in the era when the media is not yet developed, there is no real exact number.

The Timberwolves are desperate, but the Mavericks are extremely relaxed.

And Sun Hao didn't even have to find a reason, and directly transferred the Thomas's signed jersey to Nash.

"Don't say I gave it to you."

However, after giving it to Nash, he still did not forget to remind him.

Otherwise, the fans will have to complain about him when they turn around.

The Mavericks are having fun in the locker room here, and the forum fans over there are also excited.

Reporters were afraid of Garnett's presence at the press conference, but fans didn't care about that at the forum.

"58 is really hammered, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes this time, it is this nickname!"

"If losing by 58 points last season was just a joke in the regular season, this one really put Garnett in the books."

"I don't know what it would be like to watch Garnett enter the Hall of Fame a few years later, but with a history of being by 58 points in the playoffs!"

"Iron Warning!"

“5… 58 punch warning? ”

"After this game, I think the Mavericks have a game against the Lakers!"

"Don't be funny, can you see the level of the vegetable abuse bureau? The Lakers also play supersonics, and the OK combination of playoff mode is unsolvable. ”

"Whether you can play or not only knows if you have played, and this season's Kings and Spurs are not weak, and it is unknown whether the two teams can meet."

"So soon to start discussing the Western Finals? The playoffs have only been played once! Believe me, the wolf king will lead the team to rebound strongly! ”

……

There are still fans in the forum who are sensible.

Although they won by 58 points, the Mavericks only led 1-0 in the big score.

series, in terms of big scores, there is no difference between winning 58 points and winning 1 point.

However, the reality is that winning by 58 points and winning by 1 point will have a completely different impact on the mentality of both teams.

Just like last year, this year's playoff first round will be a best-of-five system.

The second game of the series kicked off in Minnesota.

There were no fires in Minnesota in this era.

However, Timberwolves fans felt like they couldn't breathe after Game 2.

Because even if the Timberwolves play at home, they have lost what they rely on most this season, their fighting spirit.

Without fighting spirit, the wolves can only be slaughtered by hunters.

90-108, the Timberwolves lost a lot less momentum than the previous game.

But scores, like stats, can sometimes be deceiving.

The Timberwolves' defense in this game is significantly worse than in the previous game.

The low score in the end was entirely due to the fact that the Mavericks didn't feel as good as the first game.

But anyone who watched the game knew that after the first 58-point rout, the series was over.

Sun Hao's pre-series strategy worked perfectly.

Wait until you return to Dallas to play the third game.

After another big win close to 20 points, the Mavericks swept the Timberwolves 3-0 and easily advanced to the second round.

This is easy, it's really easy.

Before the start of the playoffs, no matter how professional experts can predict this score.

Not to mention the three games, the Mavericks have averaged a net win of 30+ per game.

But that's how it turned out, strategy, more effective than tactics.

In the final post-match press conference, Garnett was with Saunders.

His expression did not look particularly depressed, but gave people a sense of relief.

The loss of 58 points in the first game put him under too much pressure.

As a result, when it was finally decided that he was out, he took the pressure off.

When it comes to next season, he has also regained his Wolf King style.

"I'll be back!"

His tone was as hard as iron.

This phrase was later quoted by the media.

There is no shortage of rivals in the NBA, and successful revenge will also be regarded as a classic.

Garnett, have that strength.

However, Sun Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the news.

Because he knew it all too well.

In a banned Chinese comic, the gray wolf who was beaten away will say this sentence every episode.

Moreover, the timberwolves, the wolf king, the gray wolf.

It's so vivid!

Of course, the first round is over, and Sun Hao doesn't pay attention to Garnett and his Timberwolves anymore.

He's starting to keep an eye on the other series.

In the East, the Celtics and Pistons both won 3-1.

The result was expected, but Maddie was a bit tragic, falling in the first round for the second year in a row.

The remaining two groups were a bit unexpected.

The Nets and Wizards both swept their opponents 3-0.

The Nets are normal, after all, Carter of the Raptors didn't play and belongs to the remnants.

But the Wizards' opponent is the 76ers! Last season's reigning Eastern Conference champions!

The 76ers kept the roster from last season and added so much more in the summer.

But as a result, they were swept away.

There are many reasons for this result.

The restrictions of Iverson in the joint defense team are greater than expected, especially after the playoffs blow the penalty scale more relaxed, Iverson is put down but there is no whistle frequently;

Snow, the team's starting point guard, was in a slump, shooting just over 30 percent from the field;

Wait a minute.

Of course, the most important point, the Wizards, is really a lot stronger than expected.

Yao Ming has grown much more than expected, and he has not fallen behind in the confrontation with Mutombo.

This, combined with the presence of Mobley and Hardaway, greatly eases the pressure on Jordan in regular time.

Then, it's Jordan's old hooligan harvest at a critical moment.

In the three games of the first-round series, Jordan did not average many points per game, averaging only 27 points per game, which was more than 2 points more than his regular season score.

But of those 27 points, nearly 12 points were scored in the final quarter!

That's the crux of the matter!

Although he has suffered from injuries and suspensions as in history, Jordan has found the most suitable style of play for him under a different lineup.

What is Old Rascal?

This is the old rascal!

After Sun Hao watched the video, he couldn't help but feel that he was going to become Qiao Fu.

A 39-year-old veteran plays like this, and there really can't be a second person in history.

And as a traverser, he can open his eyes in many other places, but he can only watch quietly what hasn't happened.

Judging from the opponent and the performance of the series, as long as Jordan is not injured, the probability of this Wizards team breaking through from the East is very high.

Even, as he thought before, it was not impossible to win the championship.

6 out of 6.

In the West, the Lakers swept the SuperSonics 3-0.

In this year in history, the SuperSonics fought with the Spurs to steal five before they lost, however......

As fans said in the forum, the Lakers in the playoffs and the Lakers in the regular season are not the same team, and it is very scary to play seriously with the OK combination.

The remaining two groups face each other, the Kings 3-1 Jazz, and the Spurs 3-1 Trail Blazers.

In this way, the second round of the east and west is also released.

Eastern Celtics play Pistons, Nets Wizards;

The Kings in the West played the Lakers, the Mavericks, and the Spurs.

It's not that the enemies don't get together, if the first round is from the perspective of the Timberwolves' revenge, then in the second round, it is from the perspective of the Mavericks.

This Spurs team is not the strongest Spurs, as Parker and Ginobili, two future Spurs legends, are still rookies.

But this Spurs are definitely stronger than the same year in history.

Because of Ginobili, he arrived at the Spurs a year early.

Although at the beginning of the season, the Mavericks won by a big score against the Spurs for the first time.

But as Popovich said after that game, he began to value the three-point shot.

Although the three-point shot is not something that can be practiced in a season, the strength of the Spurs is a visible increase for the naked eye.

This can be seen from the record of the two teams in the latter part of the season.

In the entire regular season, both teams won two of the four games, but the Spurs had more goal difference.

This is also the reason why the two teams have the same record when it comes to the final regular season standings, but the Spurs are second and the Mavericks are third.

Playing the Lakers, or even trying to win a championship, that's all in the future, and what they're going to do now is beat the opponent who beat them last season.

Otherwise, they will be double-killed by the Spurs, not to mention them, let's talk about old Nelson.

If Popovich sends another "you really can't win the championship your way", then Nelson Sr. probably won't have the confidence to continue coaching with the Mavericks.

So, just like Nelson Sr. said before the game, playing the Spurs series, you can only win and not lose!

It's just as important as winning the championship!

That's what they're going to do, but it's not easy.

Inside and outside tactics are the simplest and most difficult to defend.

Because your biggest headache is that super insider.

The Lakers have O'Neal and the Spurs have Duncan.

But it's also an opportunity for the Mavericks.

The wheel inside line they had prepared for O'Neal was going to be tried on Duncan first.

The playoffs reached the second round, and it went from a best-of-5 system to a best-of-seven system.

The Spurs have home-court advantage in this series, and the game will also start in San Antonio.

The day before the game, the Mavericks traveled to San Antonio as a team.

It was also at this time that the league announced the results of the second batch of awards.

Best Defensive Player, and Best Rookie.

Detroit fans were still angry that Ben Wallace wasn't named Player of the Year last year, but this year, they won't have that bother.

Even, they raised their eyebrows well.

Because Ben Wallace got a record vote in the voting for this year's Defensive Player of the Year.

He got almost all the votes and was elected with 96.67% of the vote!

In other words, the remaining Mutombo, Garnett and others together have less than 4% of the vote.

This is not a hanging, it simply erases all suspense.

"We saw a new Rodman, and it's interesting that they all started their careers in Detroit."

The comments from fans on social media are interesting.

In contrast, the competition for the best rookie is much fiercer.

In this rookie class, six players have averaged double digits in points per game.

Yao Ming, Gasol, Jason Richardson, Battier, Arenas, and Kwame Brown.

After the Houston team sent Mobley away, they fed the ball to the Twin Towers.

The results proved one thing, the unhappy and brainless twin tower combination of Houston, the brainless turned out to be really limited in talent, but unhappy, the data came out.

Brown averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game.

Although this data is not outstanding in the list show, at least it can be watched.

Of course, that performance didn't win him much of a vote in the Rookie of the Year vote.

The Rookie of the Year ticket was mainly concentrated in the hands of two players.

Yao Ming, and Pau Gasol.

In fact, this past season, because they are in the same East, they have been particularly competitive in the Rookie of the Month award.

Yao Ming won the 11th, 12th, 2nd, and 3rd Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for a total of four months.

Gasol took the rest of the January and April ones.

In terms of the number of rookies of the month, Yao Ming has an advantage.

In terms of average data per game, Yao Ming averaged 15.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, which was also better than Gasol's 14.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

However, Gasol's status and shooting power in the Celtics team are not as good as Yao Ming, and the Celtics' record of first place in the East is also better than that of the Wizards' third place in the East.

So this suspense has not been revealed until the last moment.

The final results showed that Yao Ming received 48.36% of the votes and Gasol received 39.65% of the votes.

With an advantage of nearly 10% of the votes, Yao Ming beat Gasol and became the best rookie in the NBA in the 2001~2002 season!

And this result also means that the NBA best rookie has been taken away by Chinese players for two consecutive years!

Another historic moment.

Sun Hao didn't see the news until he arrived in San Antonio.

He called Yao Ming as soon as possible and congratulated him.

To Sun Hao's surprise, Yao Ming himself didn't know yet.

This became what he informed Yao Ming.

However, it can also be seen that Yao Ming's attention is now all on the Wizards' playoffs.

Yao Ming was very happy when he learned the news, and at the end of the call, he also said such a sentence to Sun Hao.

"See you in the finals if possible."
