On a stage like the playoffs, young players show their youth and energy. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

Countless heroes are fighting here, and many unknown players have the potential to become famous overnight. This is a competitive game, and it is also related to the future and destiny of everyone, which has aroused the passion of all the players of the playoff teams, eager to get more opportunities to perform, eager to enter a higher and bigger stage.

The battlefield of the basketball stage is filled with gunsmoke, and legends happen every day.

The big score victory game, the reversal of the good drama, the scorching battle of the whistle kill, one by one makes people's hormones soar. Fans waved plastic sticks in their hands, gamblers waved their tickets, players tore at their chests, and people here changed from well-dressed gentlemen to green-faced and fanged fanatics.

The Timberwolves' big win over the Grizzlies didn't come as experts expected.

Because the worst result predicted before the game was also the Timberwolves to settle the battle within six games. And most people are still predicting that the Timberwolves will sweep the opponent 4-0.

Sweeps happen in the playoffs almost every year, and it's common for high-ranked teams to beat lower-ranked teams.

And in the first round of the playoffs, every day fans pay attention to the major awards at the end of the season, in addition to who was beaten by whom.

For example, this year's first award - Best Rookie.

In the past awards, the best rookie should be the least suspenseful award. And this year, in addition to the fact that there is no suspense about the best rookie, Zheng Ke, who swept the league in the regular season, won the MVP, which should also be an award without suspense.

Among this year's rookies, many good seedlings have emerged. Like John Wall, Paul George, Cousins, Monroe, and many more. But in the midst of this. Griffin, who averaged 22 points and 12 rebounds per game in his rookie season, was the most perverted, not only winning the dunk contest championship, but also successfully selected for the All-Star team.

Therefore, the selection results appeared that the word 90 years of the general unanimously voted for the best rookie election for the second time. Griffin won the honor without hesitation.

Before the second award for the best sixth man came out. The Timberwolves and Grizzlies played their second game.

The game was quickly decided, and it was still the rhythm of the Timberwolves. At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led by only 10 points, 78-68. But at the end of the game, the Timberwolves were already 111-92 leading by 19 points, and in the final quarter of the game, the Timberwolves blasted down 33 points on the head of the Grizzlies, who are known for their defense!

This shows that with the Grizzlies' defense, they still can't stop the Timberwolves with fierce offensive firepower. Especially Zheng Ke. Despite Tony Allen's black feet and small movements, Zheng Ke has an absolute advantage in strength, height, and speed, which is a kind of physical fitness, although he has defended very well. Zheng Ke still scored 33 points quietly, in addition to 14 assists and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Not long after Game 2, the NBA announced the Sixth Man of the Year winner at the end of the season.

Odom, the Lakers' bench, won the award. He has played a full 82 games this season. Averaging 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, plus the Lakers are among the top five teams in the league, so in any way, he deserves this honor. Unfortunately, Lowry of the Timberwolves came in third with 78 points. Lowry is the leader of the Timberwolves bench this season, playing 25.7 minutes, although he averages 4.9 assists per game, but he averages only 9.9 points per game, which is far from Odom and Terry.

Lowry doesn't have any regrets about this, after all, the data is there. And both McHale and Billups have made it clear that they will continue to increase his playing time next year, and there is a good chance that the roles between him and Billups will be reversed, with the bench becoming a starter and the starter becoming a substitute. It made him very excited

On April 23, the Timberwolves and Grizzlies moved to Memphis.

The third game was the home of the Grizzlies, who had not won a single game since entering the NBA, and this year was no different. However, such a team that belongs to the same small-ball market as Minnesota can retain the same basketball enthusiasm as Minnesota.

When the Timberwolves arrived, they were able to feel the city's true love for basketball.

The streets are filled with playoff slogans, huge posters of Grizzlies star Rudy Gay, and billboards with photos of multiple players on the team. Seeing that even the little fans wearing Grizzly jerseys showed their teeth and claws to the Timberwolves players, Zheng Ke even had a moment of trance.

"Am I doing something horrific?"

But immediately, Zheng Ke put this idea behind him, and became a king and a loser, which has been the case since ancient times. The Timberwolves took advantage of the invincible confidence built up in the regular season and reached their best in all aspects. If he can't win the championship this year, Zheng Ke is afraid that he will go crazy.

The course of the third game was slightly different from the previous two.

In the first two games, the Timberwolves defeated the Grizzlies with a devastating force. And this game, adjustments were made, with the encouragement of the fans, plus the slight bias of the referee, the first three quarters were difficult to solve.

Until the last quarter of the game, in the final 5th minute, he relied on Randolph's long-range mid-range shot to tie the score.

Who knows that after this ball, the Grizzlies will no longer have a touch and will be scrambling on the defensive end. Exhausted by his physical strength (the Combatant skill), Tony Allen's form declined, and Zheng Ke took the opportunity to strengthen his individual attack, scoring consecutive points to stretch the score to 13 points in three minutes.

The Timberwolves stunned the Grizzlies with a wave of 13-2 small **, and Grizzlies fans have not reacted now.

The camera panned around the audience, and all eyes were full of jaw-dropping Grizzly fans. Many blonde female fans had tears in their eyes and covered their mouths that were open in surprise with their small hands, in disbelief.

In the end, the Timberwolves still defeated the Grizzlies 103-89, and it seems that the Grizzlies still have no power to fight back, in fact, they have played the most bloody game since the playoffs, and even forced Zheng Ke to only 40 percent shooting rate in the first three quarters, and he relied on consecutive points in the last moments to regain some shooting percentage.

3-0 has basically declared the death of the grizzly bear.

And at this time, the increasingly heavy awards began to be announced. Thibodeau was crowned, and the Timberwolves became the first team in history to win the Coach of the Year award two years in a row.

This year, the Timberwolves have the best record in NBA history at 76-6, and the amazing thing is that the team's head coach Thibodeau is just a rookie coach who has just taken charge. This has made Thibodeau a favorite of NBA teams, with Thibodeau only signing a two-year contract with the Timberwolves, and his desk is currently full of contract negotiations from more than two dozen teams in the league.

One by one, the awards were announced, and the Grizzlies were heading for a long vacation.

The fourth game was a life-and-death battle for the Grizzlies, and if they lost, they had to go home and fish. At this time, the system shows that the Grizzlies are in a state of [excitement].

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies even suppressed the Timberwolves.

Tony Allen was like a hormone, frantically winding Zheng Ke, that desperate aura, brave and fearless. Zheng Ke was unable to deploy his hands and feet for a while, which directly paralyzed the entire offensive system of the Timberwolves, but kept hitting the iron "clang" everywhere.

Fortunately, even if the Grizzlies are in the midst of [euphoria], the offense is still that frustrated, and the Timberwolves' desperate defense can't please them.

The two teams played iron together, and at the end of the first quarter, it was the Grizzlies who led by one point 17-16.

Such a low score shows that the shooting percentage of both teams is too low. At the same time, the number of rebounds was also increased, not only Lefu grabbed 4 rebounds, Zheng Ke himself also grabbed 4 rebounds, of which 1 was a frontcourt rebound.

With 0.9 seconds left before halftime, Zheng Ke assisted Love to shoot a three-pointer to put the Timberwolves up 35-34 to end the first half.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the two teams will not add up to 150 points in the whole game.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Ke finally broke out in the third quarter, and was defended like a mad dog like Tony Allen, Zheng Ke had already held back a fire in his heart, and as soon as the three-point anger broke out, he began to shoot suddenly!

When everyone was striking iron, Zheng Ke's lethal style of play achieved great results. He drew five fouls in the entire third quarter and made 10 of 10 free throws. In the boos of the "black whistle", Zheng Ke scored 21 points alone in this quarter, plus a total of 4 points scored by several others, and the Timberwolves led by 7 points in a single quarter 25-18 in this quarter.

With an eight-point deficit in the final quarter, the Grizzlies' hopes of victory were slimmer.

What fans want to see is a long-awaited victory for the Grizzlies on the playoff stage, but Zheng Ke has not known how to extinguish that wish.

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves defeated the Grizzlies 84-74 and swept into the next round.

Zheng Ke played a game that was enough to go down in history, with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, including 21 points in the third quarter, laying the final victory advantage for the Timberwolves, which is enough to be written into the script of all basketball-themed movies.

And after this game, the league announced the 10-11 Most Improved Player Award.

Lefu cares a lot about this award, after all, in the predictions of experts from major media and newspapers at the end of the season, Lefu is leading in this award.

And after the results came out, Lefu was injured again.

Aldridge successfully counterattacked, and after Roy's injury this year, Aldridge's statistics, which held the team's No. 1 shot, soared, averaging 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Although Lefu has 12.9 rebounds, he only averages 18.6 points per game, which seems to be a little improvement compared to the previous two years.
