The game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves can be said to have lost suspense before the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies, because when the Boston Celtics and the Grizzlies were still tied 2-1, the score of the two teams had become 3-0, and the Lakers had killed the game in advance, for the NBA playoffs, especially for the best-of-7 games, 3-0 and 4-0 represent the same meaning, both enter the next round, but this does not mean that there is no difference between the two.

On the contrary, the difference between the two is still very big, maybe for the Timberwolves, it is difficult for them to complete the overtake promotion in the case of 0-3 down, which may be impossible, but in the same way, 0-3 down did not let them be eliminated directly, they still need a defeat, and when this defeat comes, they can work hard to delay. Unlike the aristocratic style of the Lakers, the Lakers will give up Game 4 at 0-3, and they don't bother to fight people for the impossible.

But this is not the case for the Timberwolves, especially for the Timberwolves, most of the backbone of which are brought out by Zhuang Fei, it is impossible for this to give up the game, especially as Zhuang Fei said after the Timberwolves fell behind 0-3, this is a championship team, this team has the dignity of a champion, and the dignity of the Timberwolves' championship is not the same as the dignity of the Lakers, this is an already crazy team, and maybe it is also because of Zhuang Fei's motivation or because of their own reasons, At the No. 4 that many thought the series would end in Game 4, the Timberwolves stubbornly defeated the Lakers 110-105 at home, and the team that is now only left with offense had a crazy confrontation with the Lakers at home, with two forced three-point shots from Pierce and Ginobili in the final moments, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers, who were almost invincible in the West.

Of course, for the Lakers, a game loss doesn't mean anything, as the team's head coach Phil Jackson said, he doesn't care about the Lakers' process this season, whether it is the first place in the regular season or whether they can sweep the opponent in the playoffs, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of the Lakers head coach, he only needs a championship now, and the only thing they need is a championship, in this case, the Lakers only need to beat the Timberwolves, such Phil Jackson has changed a lot compared to the Phil Jackson who wanted almost everything before the All-Star this season, but there is no doubt that the current Lakers head coach is more decisive and more terrifying. At least in Zhuang Fei's opinion, he really did it, and he could do whatever it took to win.

For example, in the fifth game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, when Kobe Bryant was ready to control the team and control the game again, the Lakers head coach directly pressed the Lakers' head guard on the bench for a full quarter when the signs were wrong in the first three quarters, and Kobe Bryant has not played since then, and in fact, even in this game, the Lakers failed to stage a Jedi counterattack and failed to fill the hole dug by Kobe, but in Zhuang Fei's opinion, the head coach of the Lakers has become more terrifying. In the past Lakers, if Kobe Bryant's nerves were up, he generally didn't have any way.

Among them, there is the reason why Kobe's value is too important for the Lakers, but it is more because he has too many concerns in his heart, in a giant like the Lakers. Every one of his actions is not so easy to do because he has a lot of pushers behind him, but right now, at least this season, in this series. The former head coach of the Bulls dynasty has regained the domineering power that allowed Jordan Pippen to play five times when he was with the Bulls, and such Phil Jackson is naturally the most free and terrifying.

On the other hand, of course. Zhuang Fei can also clearly see that the Lakers have completely excluded Kobe, or Kobe's biggest role for the Lakers is no longer scoring, the other five stars of this team can completely replace Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, and in fact, since the All-Star Game, Kobe has been more and more responsible for defensive tasks, and this is a blessing and a curse for the Celtics, at least a Kobe who puts all his energy on the defensive end is also extremely terrible.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Timberwolves played the sixth game of the playoffs, which many people did not expect, after the Lakers led 3-0, almost everyone was waiting for the Lakers' sweeping news, but in the end they were not able to wait, and now they have been dragged to the fifth game, until the sixth game now, and on June 5th, the sixth game of the Lakers and Timberwolves was still held at the target center in Minnesota.

Although no one thinks that the Timberwolves can complete the biggest 3-0 comeback in NBA history at this time, there is no doubt that the Timberwolves have now been respected by everyone, at least compared to the full-court boos at the 3-0 back target center, and now the Timberwolves can play like this It is no longer a matter of boos from Timberwolves fans, of course, maybe for many Lakers fans, they will think that the Timberwolves' two games are luck, one is the unlicensed three-point explosion of Pierce and Ginobili, One is Kobe's intermittent madness, and these are not conventional weapons and methods to win.

But this has nothing to do with this series, because no matter how you win, the final score has come to 3-2, and at this time, fans who are expecting the Celtics and Lakers to stage a peak battle are already waiting for the Lakers to beat the Timberwolves in this game and finally enter the Finals, and in fact, Zhuang Fei and the Celtics are also looking forward to this game

"Tim, who are you fanciing about this game? Timberwolves? You've lost to the Timberwolves this year."

June 5, 2004, 7 p.m., Boston, Zhuang Fei's home, at this time Zhuang Fei's home is no longer Zhuang Fei and Carter, but also have to add a Duncan, Duncan came to Boston on the afternoon of June 2, and has now been in Boston for the Celtics for free as a sparring partner for three days, and at this time, in addition to Zhuang Fei, it should be the most concerned about this round of matchups is Duncan, in the Western Conference semifinals Spurs were eliminated by the Timberwolves 4-3, Perhaps for Duncan, he really hopes that the Timberwolves can finally beat the Lakers and enter the Finals.

For him personally, or for any player in the NBA who loses, they all hope to lose to the championship team in the end, if the Timberwolves are swept by the Lakers, then the terrible will not be the only team of the Timberwolves to be humiliated, even the Spurs who lost to the Timberwolves have to be humiliated, and in the same way, now Carter is very open to this game, and it has nothing to do with him, and even, for him, because of Szczebiak, he will hope that the Lakers can win.

"I hope the Timberwolves can win, but the Lakers must win this game, the Timberwolves have no possibility of beating the Lakers" After hearing Carter's question, Duncan was slightly stunned, and then his face changed slightly, and at the same time, he replied with some emotion, in his opinion, the Timberwolves have no chance, just like many experts and media said before the game, there will be no accidents in this game, and if it is a game without accidents in the end, Then the Timberwolves are unlikely to beat the Lakers.

"Heroes see the same thing" After Duncan finished speaking, Carter also said with a smile, Carter now has no emotions when he was competing with Duncan for the boss in college, but he still retains some habits of competing with each other, but at this time, this habit can bring more fun than gunpowder.

Of course, for Carter and Duncan, the outcome of this game has nothing to do with them at all, but for Zhuang Fei, he is a real relevant person, after Zhuang Fei brought all the dinner, he has been watching this game with burning eyes, just like Carter and Duncan predicted before, this game is the last game nine times out of ten, the Lakers have no reason to leave the game in the seventh game to solve, and the Timberwolves also do not have the strength to drag the game into the seventh game, if Zhuang Fei leads this team may still be possible, but there is basically not much hope for Carl to lead, and in fact, the victory of the first two games has not much to do with Carl, one is the player's explosion and the other is the opponent's internal problem, so from this point of view, Carl has not found a solution to the Lakers from beginning to end, and he has not even found a way to deal with the Lakers, so how can he have the confidence to defeat the opponent?

In fact, Zhuang Fei expected the two teams to play seven games, so that the Celtics would have more time to adjust, but the final result was still not as Zhuang Fei wanted.

When Zhuang Fei, Duncan and Carter saw the silence of the Timberwolves fans in the target center and the loneliness of the Timberwolves players on TV, this round of the series was also over, and in the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves with a score of 118-104, and the Lakers' victory in this game also means that they have finally entered the Finals. It also means that this team finally met the Chinese led team on the stage of the NBA Finals under everyone's expectations.

"Coach, will this be your strongest opponent" Carter looked back curiously at Zhuang Fei, who had been very calm, and asked. And Duncan also looked at Zhuang Fei at this time, in the eyes of these two people, this Laker is very strong, very strong.

"Perhaps" (To be continued.) )
