Chapter 235: The Fourth Battle Begins

(Thank you for the reward of the heart to the heart i children's shoes, thank you for the thanks~)

This is Garnett's first trip to the playoffs since Garnett left for the East Coast, and all Timberwolves players know that, and their playoff journey is no less difficult.

Once upon a time, they were still the underdogs in the league, but this season they suddenly turned around, not only breaking into the playoffs, but also fighting the Dallas Mavericks, who are second in the West, in the first round of the playoffs, and temporarily leading by a large score.

Such a result was unthinkable for all Minnesotans before this season, and even McHale, who selected Lee Se-ho, was very happy and impressed by the wise vision of the Warriors' old Nelson.

This meritorious coach in the league is indeed extraordinary, especially in the development of defenders, which is extremely good.

With Byron Davis in front of him, and now with the example of Li Shihao in front of him, McHale can't help but be shocked by Nelson Sr.'s draft gaze.

In the '06 draft, he traded Brandon Roy and Portland Trail Blazers for Randy Foyer because of a mistake in thought, and it was because of this difference in thought that McHale missed the Yellow Mambarroy and lost an All-Star guard.

Last summer, when the Golden State Warriors traded upwards in an attempt to trade for a higher draft pick, they were just going to trade for the mediocre-looking Chinese kid.

When the trade proposal was handed to McHale, McHale was overjoyed, believing that it was just a trick by the Warriors, and that their target must not be a Chinese kid, but a draft pick in exchange for the golden boy Rubio.

However, it was also a mistake of thought, and this time McHale held back the speculation in his heart. used another precious first-round pick to select the Chinese kid Li Shihao, and risked cutting off the beard from the Golden State Warriors.

However, to McHale's secret rejoicing, this risky "robbery" operation seems to have succeeded, and the elder Nelson is angry, even questioning McHale, accusing the latter of not keeping the agreement.

This question. It also made the big stone in McHale's heart settle down for the time being, but he bet again and traded the other two draft picks, Tylawson and Golden Boy Rubio, but not for the Golden State Warriors, a move that did not make the cunning old Nelson react.

McHale knew he was on the right bet, and when Nelson Sr. tried to make a deal again in exchange for the Chinese-American kid Li Shihao, McHale declined. He showed his strong determination.

According to McHale's scouting news, the Golden State Warriors have not issued a training invitation to the golden boy Rubio, and they are not very interested in pursuing the latter.

According to this news, the chances of the Golden State Warriors selecting Golden Boy Rubio in the draft are too slim.

Now that a season has passed, it has been proved that McHale's original move to cut off the beard is extremely correct, and Li Shihao's performance in his rookie season is even worthy of the value of the top pick.

After Li Shihao arrived this season, he brought a world-changing transformation to the Timberwolves. Let this team, which has not been able to break into the playoffs for several seasons, make it to the top eight in the West in one fell swoop. At the same time, there seems to be hope for a semi-final, which is a big surprise.

However, all of this will not be known until the first round of the series is over, and if the Timberwolves can't break through the Dallas Mavericks, then even if they try to dominate in the early stage, it will be useless. After all, it was in vain.

After a long wait, the fourth game of the playoffs has finally begun, and it is still in the Minnesoe Target Center, and the two teams are facing each other!

Although this game is on the home court of the Timberwolves, the referee who presides over the penalty is very likely to make a relatively fair decision. After all, the Dallas Mavericks are a little more important in the minds of the league's top brass.

The Timberwolves already have a big score advantage, and in the eyes of the league's top management, this loss will not have much impact, at most it will be dragged to the tiebreaker in the end, and they care more about the Dallas Mavericks.

There are two reasons for this, the first is that the Dallas Mavericks have been a big tax payer in the league in recent years, which seems to be a loss for the team, but in fact, Mark Cuban has used this trick in exchange for many visible and invisible favors.

For example, the schedule of the regular season, such as the scale of blowing penalties in the game.

For the top of the league, it is naturally more pleasant for the big city teams to qualify, after all, the latter can generate more profits and increase more ratings, which even the small city teams can't catch up.

The last point, which has always been a concern of the Alliance, is the development of the European market.

As we all know, football is the number one ball sport in the world, and it can even be said to be the most influential sport of all sports. And the home camp of football is in Europe, where the Americans can't reach it.

Europeans like to watch football games, football is the first sport they like, therefore, if the NBA wants to complete globalization, attacking Europe is a step that must be taken, but this step is quite difficult, and the resistance is even more difficult than the NBA's development of the Asian market.

Dek Nowitzki is the signature star of the Dallas Mavericks, and his German status has also made him very popular among European fans, and the league wants to open up the European market, and the introduction of excellent European players is an important strategy, and the NBA can use it to open up the European market.

An important step in capturing the attention of European fans is the emergence of an epic drama, which must satisfy European fans.

At the beginning, the league painstakingly planned a drama that allowed Dirk Nowitzki to win the regular season MVP, but unfortunately the Dallas Mavericks led by the latter failed to survive the first round of the playoffs, and were swept into the dark corner of history by the crazy Golden State Warriors to complete the black eight feat.

In this game, whether it is to ensure the maximization of the interests of the league or to "take care" of the Dallas Mavericks, the referees on duty in the target center will try to avoid the occurrence of the home whistle and give more "care" to the Dallas Mavericks who play away.

On April 26, the fourth game of the playoffs was held as scheduled, and the entire target center was filled with Timberwolves fans, and the unified blue fan T-shirts rendered the target center into a sea of blue.

Will the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Dallas Mavericks at home again and take the lead 3-1 to win the match point, or will the Dallas Mavericks complete the Jedi counterattack and use a hearty victory to tie the score 2-2?

Either way, there is no doubt about the importance of this game, and whoever wins this game is an important step that can change the situation of the battle!
