Needless to say, the power of the Spurs' GDP troika is self-explanatory. The league's No. 1 striker + French sports car + Argentine demon knife, the big three in the Spurs have long been together after more than ten years of running-in. The formation of the Big Three by other teams often causes a sensation, such as the Heat Big Three and the former Celtics Big Three, but the Spurs Big Three have been formed for too long, so no one regards them as giants.

The Big Three of other people's families are all aiming for the goal of the championship, and they will be disbanded if they can't achieve it. Their family formed the Big Three just for the sake of the situation, "talking about being together". This kind of relationship is not the model of "no brothers, no basketball" as LeBron said, and then patting his ass and walking away for his thighs, but a really deep relationship, true love that has been the same for decades. That's one of the secrets that the Spurs are championship contenders every year.

Of course, the Spurs' suffocating rotation defense, team-focused offensive open shots, and the league's top head coach Popovich are all key to their championship contention.

With such an analysis, the Spurs' lineup is still gorgeous. At least not weaker than the other Big Three.

However, Li Qiang was not very worried, because they didn't know that there was still something called the Ancient Yijin Sutra in the world. They didn't know that the power of one person could subvert the entire alliance.

With the Timberwolves disaster ensuing, Li Qiang will soon prove it.

Far from it, the Timberwolves have a 65-8 record and the first place in the West (in some games, Li Qiang did not play at the last moment, so that other players could experience the feeling of losing). So it's still the old rule, the first two games were held in the Target Center arena.

"Timberwolves, win! Timberwolves, win! "Before the game even started, there was already such a sound in the scene. In the eyes of Minnesota fans, the Western Conference championship and championship are almost a certainty.

"Squeak-" A whistle blows, and the referee throws the basketball into the sky.

When it comes to jumping balls, Duncan is clearly no match for the young and strong Bolres. Li Qiang received the ball and found that the Spurs were already in place.

"When the referee blew the whistle just now, he was already running back. The coach set it up before the game! Li Qiang thought silently while dribbling the ball.

Defending Li Qiang is the Spurs' rising star Big Palm Kawaii.

Although kawaii has a lot of potential, and a pair of giant palms can often cause great interference to attackers with the ball, there is no doubt that he still looks too immature in front of Li Qiang.

Li Qiang was unusual, ignoring Kawaii's defense and jumping directly, turning over and leaning back to shoot a three-point shot.

At this point, kawaii's defense was belated. The experienced Li Qiang took the initiative to put his arm up.

"Smack" "Wow"

Hit 3+1 successfully. With Li Qiang steadily scoring the ball, the Timberwolves have already scored four points in the first round.

Yes, generally speaking, Li Qiang likes to wreak havoc on the opponent's basket in the first round of every game and play with momentum. All the teams in the league also know that Li Qiang likes to do this, but they still rarely can prevent Li Qiang from jumping as soon as he steps to the three-point line.

For example, today, kawaii's first defense, what is expected must be to cause some interference to Li Qiang's dunk. Naturally, kawaii's three-point defense is equivalent to no defense for Li Qiang. If you have this opportunity, why don't you score points?

The morale-boosting effect of 3+1 is obviously not comparable to a dunk.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, the French runaway slammed into the Timberwolves' interior and drew the defense of Polles and Wiggins, who replaced the injured Gasol. At this moment, the ball was suddenly passed to Danny Green, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

"Hmm" Spurs also scored three points.

In the next game, both sides played quite smoothly. Li Qiang played a role in threading the needle for the Timberwolves, and the two big players of Brack and Polles blossomed inside and out, beating the Spurs' rotation defense inside and out. Li Qiang shoots three points from time to time, and even throws one.

And the Timberwolves, who lack Gasol and Lefou, are also a little weak on the inside, which was originally the first in the league in defensive intensity. Poles tends to be squeezed into the crowd, and then the ball is suddenly passed to Duncan, and the forty-five degree board is hit, and there you have it! This is the most common phrase heard by viewers in front of Chinese televisions.

Yes, the Spurs seized on the Timberwolves' interior to suddenly and dramatically weaken that weakness and stared at the interior onslaught. Not only did Duncan hit the board repeatedly, but even Parker and Manu rushed inside when they got the ball. Polles also drew fouls as a result.

At halftime, the Timberwolves led the Spurs by 10 points at 68:58. Both sides have a pretty high shooting percentage, with the Spurs reaching 58% and the Timberwolves having 65%! Unexpectedly, in the first game of the highly-anticipated Western Conference Finals, the first half did not play the defensive battle that I thought about, but the two strong teams gave a wonderful offensive performance.

For the Timberwolves, Li Qiang scored 18 points despite only taking 7 shots. In addition, Li Qiang also handed out 9 assists. Braque and Polles scored 24 and 16 points, respectively. Due to the Spurs' focused attack on the inside, Polles got three blocks in the first half, but also ate four fouls.

For the Spurs, Duncan shot 8-of-10 from the field, and Parker and Manu also performed well. The offense and defense played well, but because of Li Qiang, a terrifying existence that scored 18 points on only seven shots, the Spurs were still beaten to a 10-point deficit.
