Different players have different ways of dealing with failure, which is related to the character of the player and the atmosphere of the times.

Michael Jordan chose to polish himself, make himself stronger first, and then wait for the puzzle pieces to arrive, and finally reap the benefits.

It did set a good example for future players, and as the decades passed, the star players learned and believed that they could become the next Jordan.

However, with the development of the times, this old-fashioned road to success has become obsolete, and there are obvious shortcuts, so why go through the so-called tribulation?

The emergence of Li Ze has also changed the general environment greatly, and if you can't beat it, you can join, which is even more understandable in the context of the current era!

In the first round of the playoffs in the 17~18 season G1 game, although the Timberwolves lost, the two talented newcomers in the team did not show too much frustration.

After the game, he even had a conversation with Li Zeyou

At 93:125, the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves, and the Intuit Dome Arena ushered in the first win of the playoffs!

The Timberwolves lost by 32 points, and that margin means the two sides are not on the same level at all.

Jimmy Butler turned around and walked away after the game, not only unhappy with his performance, but also sneering at his two sycophants.

TM loses 32 points, and is still in the mood to blow each other in business?

In the eyes of Wiggins and Towns, a loss is a loss, LeBron James has lost to the second person in the league, and there is no shame in losing to Li Ze!

It's rare to have an opportunity to communicate, so why not blow along?

Li Ze, as an active GOAT, will not take care of the fish belly team many times, and Wiggins and Towns rarely have the opportunity to mix faces, so they naturally have to follow suit.

"Come on, Bro! Play well in the next game and try to get a double-double! ”

Li Ze and Downs briefly exchanged fists, and then encouraged Wiggins on the side:

"Remember to work on your weak side hand in the offseason, you should finish more offense!"

Wiggins smiled innocently, that's what a playoff team is treated with!

Being able to communicate with the big guy at any time and go home early to fish has no such opportunity.

Li Ze educates new players, and in another playoff game, LeBron James was overturned by the newcomers!

At 98:80, to everyone's surprise, the Cavaliers at home lost to the Pacers.

The Pacers won the game in the first quarter, and at 33:14 in the first quarter, the Cavaliers fell into a big hole at the beginning of the game, and then never climbed up again.

Oladipo played well, 11-of-19 from the field, 6-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, and efficiently recorded 32 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers.

LeBron James also played well, 7-of-17, 10-of-14 free throws, 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers triple-double!

It's just that what makes Cavaliers fans desperate is that James played 44 minutes in this game and lost to the opponent by 18 points when he played almost the whole game.

The same thought comes to everyone's mind:

"The difference in strength is too big, and you will be out in the first round!?"

Another Eastern Conference game, 107-113, was a hard-fought overtime win for the Celtics.

The apparent brother Griffin played only 58 games in the regular season due to a knee injury, and Griffin failed to play in two meetings with the Clippers.

When he returned from injury in April, Griffin was able to regain his form.

Fortunately, G1 played well, 10 of 19, got 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, although there was some crotch stretching in overtime, but winning is always a good thing!

It's just that the surface brothers never expected the Bucks to rise as well.

Antetokounmpo was 11-of-21 from the field, and he scored 35 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 4 turnovers by switching offense and breaking through the frame;

Chris Middleton finished with 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers on 12-of-20 shooting from beyond the three-point line.

The outstanding performance of the two also surprised Amerika's sports media.

Second-round picks shine in the playoffs, which is rare in the NBA.

In the other Western Conference game that night, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Thunder.

99:104, although the score difference was not large, the Trail Blazers led by 14 points in the first quarter of the game.

Although he relaxed a little after that and almost overturned, he finally held on to his home turf.

Carmelo Anthony's form has dropped significantly since arriving at the city, and by the end of the season, his form has been affected by another injury.

5 of 13, Anthony, who played 37 minutes, only handed over 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers.

Gallinari is still quite solid and has played well this season, but when it comes to the playoffs, it is a little lacking.

The turtle was as stable as ever, 8-of-17 from the field, with a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 turnovers.

The Trail Blazers' backcourt duo played well in this game, with Lillard and McCollum combining for 54 points and showing excellent offensive firepower.

At this point, the first round of G1 is over, and the teams in the first half of the region have all defended their home courts except for the Cavaliers who accidentally overturned.

On the morning of April 16, Amika's sports media began to discuss whether the Clippers could play a 16-0 record again in the playoffs.

Most of the first round games were crushing, and many games had a 15+ lead by the home team in the first quarter, and the disparity in strength did not need much commentary.

Taking advantage of the fact that the heat of 78 wins has not passed, everyone continues to follow the trend and rub hot spots.

"No disrespect to the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and Thunder, I would say that the Clippers won't have any difficulties at all until the Western Conference Finals!"

"Carl Anthony Downs, I'm very disappointed with his performance!"

"He's like a big cupcake and I even suspect he's forgotten he's a number five."

Charles Barkley's analogy made O'Neal on the side chuckle, and since last night's game, the two have been spraying new Downs together:

"Nikola Jokic has been tougher and deserves last season's second team, and Towns is an overrated player in comparison!"

"The offense can't respond, the offense gets into foul trouble all the time, hey! Wake up, boy, you're in the playoffs! ”

O'Neal's output filled the studio with a joyful atmosphere, and these two always have higher requirements for the big men in the league.

Host Ernnie Johnson asked the director to put Jimmy Butler and Lee's stats on the big screen, and then said with a smile:

"It seems like Butler hasn't delivered on his promises, but I like what he said, and there aren't many players who have the courage to challenge Kayce right now."

4-of-14, 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-3 from the free throw line, 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers.

Jimmy Butler was badly restrained by Lee, but fans and commentators didn't mock the tough guy given the injury.

Kenny Smith lifted his glasses, he was used to Li Ze's data, but he still had to blow it:

"The god of basketball can't be limited, and Kayce doesn't care if you provoke him or not, and when it comes to the playoffs, he's going to blow up all the defenders in front of him."

"You can score on your shots, and in the playoffs, it's hard for the Clippers with Kayce to lose, and they have a great chance of going 16-0."

Charles Barkley nodded, at present, Li Ze's data is no longer discussed in their show, and everyone is numb:

"The Clippers do have a chance to do that again, but in this year's Finals, they may face a new opponent!"

"It's also a good thing for Kayce, and I'm sure he definitely won't want to play against LeBron James again."

Turning the topic to the Finals, Charles Barkley's words made the three people next to him chuckle, in fact, everyone didn't want to see James.

Host Ernnie Johnson finally remembered to warm up for tonight's game between the Pelicans and the Warriors:

"The only one who can challenge the Clippers at the moment is probably the Warriors, and we have been informed that Stephen Curry will play in G2 tonight."

"It's definitely a good thing for the fans, and of course, hopefully Curry can get back to form as soon as possible!"

“.”

When Rajon Rondo came to the Pelicans, he really made the team's offense more organized.

In G2 that night, the Pelicans and Warriors didn't decide the winner until the final moments of the game.

At 116:121, the Warriors stumbled to the main force and successfully protected the home court.

In addition to Curry and Durant, Gramond Green has played a key role, playing well on both ends of the floor.

7 of 11, 2 of 5 from beyond the line, and efficiently cut a quasi-triple-double of 20 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 1 turnover!

The only hidden danger to winning is that the main lineup has played a little too much, with Durant and Green playing 41 minutes, and Klay and Iguodala also playing 38 minutes.

Only Curry, who has just returned from injury, played slightly less minutes, just 27 minutes.

Steve Kerr, who played tricks in the regular season, is getting more and more conservative in the playoffs.

It's a season that can't be lost, and Steve Kerr doesn't want to be back in the press box early as soon as he gets used to being a manager

In the other game, the 76ers, who were playing at home, could not withstand the pressure, and the offense lost power in the second quarter.

In the end, at 113:103, the Heat won an away victory, and the series score came to 1:1.

Wade completely broke out in this game, 11 of 16, and efficiently cut 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

The veteran who has been outdated once again showed the demeanor of his youth, and after the game, he shouted to the 76ers' budding newcomer:

"Good fight, see you in Miami!"

The replacement of the old and new leagues is about to be completed, and the veterans of the class of '03 are about to retire from the playoff stage.

On the morning of April 17, the Clippers routinely completed a video lesson.

In addition to watching the footage of the Timberwolves in the past two days, the coaching staff also took the players to watch the footage of the Warriors' games.

Unlike the regular season, the Warriors have directly won the five-man lineup in both games of the playoffs this year.

Coach De Nagro wants to make an early impression that the first two rounds of the playoffs are not too stressful for the Clippers.

Fox Sports' reporters routinely conducted interviews after video lessons:

"Kayce, will you continue to play against Jimmy Butler tomorrow night?"

The reason why such a question is asked is mainly because Jimmy Butler's state has become doubtful, and the Timberwolves officially claim that he has a right knee discomfort, which is still under observation.

Injuries are also part of the game, and Li Ze has never shown mercy to his subordinates, and answered calmly when he heard such a question:

"Of course, as long as the opponent starts the game, I will do my best at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!"

"I can only regret the injury, but when it comes to the game, if Jimmy Butler is not in shape, I will even increase the number of shots."

"Give the opponent the utmost respect and no matter what his form is, I will keep scoring points on his head and help the team win."

The surrounding sports media can't help but sympathize with Jimmy Butler, who has been devalued by the player contract he has played against Li Ze over the years.

In February of this year, Jimmy Butler tore the meniscus in his right knee, and the player's injury like this will naturally affect his physical condition.

At the end of the regular season, Jimmy Butler, who barely returned from injury, and Jimmy Butler's playoff data will most likely shrink!

In this case, Jimmy Butler's next contract is not optimistic, data is a knife, and everything is empty talk without data.

Jokic also got a lot of attention in this round, but the heat was brought by Towns.

Amika's sports media thought that the champion show Downs could handle the second-round show white fat man in front of him, but the two took the script backwards, and Downs became a gummy bear.

Regarding the matchup for tomorrow night's game, Jokic also showed humility in an interview:

"Karl Anthony Downs is the most technically detailed big man I've ever seen, and I love playing against him!"

"I'm going to protect the rebounds tomorrow night, I know his talent and he's going to respond."

Downs was 3-of-9 in G1 with 8 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers.

Jokic was 6 of 9 shots and efficiently recorded 16 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

Hearing Jokic's answer, some sports media looked weird, always feeling that the white fat man in front of him was mocking his opponent

There were also jokes in the offseason that Jokic's best second team had water, and by the end of the season, those voices would definitely disappear, and Jokic might even be in the best team this year.

The Timberwolves, who have suffered injuries, are naturally demoralized, and although some people don't like Jimmy Butler, everyone knows in their hearts that this one really has the quality.

Thibodeau's heart was so sour that he even suspected that he had been cursed.

Why do teams get injuries every time they get to the playoffs?

In the three games of the night, the teams in the first half of the league beat their opponents again, with the Raptors, Celtics, and Rockets successfully defending their home courts, and the series scores all came to 2:0.

The one-sided situation made Amika's sports media sigh helplessly, and the disparity in strength was the last thing everyone wanted.

On the night of the 18th, G2 between the Timberwolves and the Clippers officially started.

Don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, Jimmy Butler is out again with an injury!

In the Intuit Dome arena, Clippers fans wearing red cheering T-shirts naturally saw the pre-game news report, and in order to pay respect, everyone did not boo the tough guy.

As soon as the game began, the Timberwolves' offense was problematic.

Jeff Teague was a bit sticky, and he had 22 seconds of time in the first four rounds of the opening game.

A couple of whistle-blowing shots, all but Wiggins threw in a mid-range shot, and all of them hit irons.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The Timberwolves attacked again, and Jimmy Butler took the initiative to ask for the ball.

I wanted to receive a pass in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, but was pushed outside the three-point line by Li Ze.

Jimmy Butler received a pass on the right wing, and Jimmy Butler had no choice but to stay away from the basket, facing Li Ze's defense, putting the ball with his left hand and quickly pushing the ball to change direction.

Switching to his right hand, Jimmy Butler accelerated with a heavy shoulder, trying to stand up to Lee's defense and rush to the three-point line.

As soon as the two made physical contact, Li Ze's posting immediately made Jimmy Butler slow down, and subconsciously adjusted the center of gravity of his body, and Jimmy Butler tried to protect the ball with his back.

But the overly obvious offensive intention was easily seen through by Li Ze, taking advantage of the moment when Jimmy Butler twisted around, Li Ze suddenly grabbed and cut off the ball with his left hand.

Jimmy Butler still wanted to continue to control the ball, but Li Ze slammed forward, took advantage of the rebound of the ball, grabbed the ball with his left hand, knocked Butler away, and accelerated straight after completing the steal.

Coach Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, saw Jimmy Butler lose the ball and hurriedly shouted to his players to step back.

But soon he found that only Jeff Teague symbolically ran two steps back, and then everyone watched Li Ze rush into the paint area and easily complete the gliding slam dunk!

At 2:10, the Clippers successfully played a wave of 8:0.

"Oh!!"

Clippers fans don't mind the game turning into a game of abuse, and everyone cheers as the home team widens the point difference.

Jimmy Butler thumped his right leg in frustration, and the injury made it difficult for him to take advantage of the first step, which made it impossible for him to get rid of Lee's defense at 1-on-1.

Li Ze calmly retreated, and he naturally noticed that Jimmy Butler's physical condition was declining.

Instead of holding his hand, he started to punch hard in tonight's fight.

The Timberwolves attacked again, and Jimmy Butler tried to use the off-ball cover to get rid of Li Ze and quickly slide from right to left.

Then taking advantage of Gibson's cover on the left near baseline, Jimmy Butler quickly came to the left blocking area, and Jeff Tig also picked up the ball at this time and sent a smashing pass at the first time.

The pass was not of high quality, allowing Butler to move another half step forward before bending over to catch the ball.

As soon as his right hand touched the ball, Jimmy Butler was keenly aware that Li Ze was sticking to the defense, and turned around with his left foot as the axis, and Jimmy Butler, who was about to attack in the face frame, immediately made a triple threat posture.

As soon as he put the ball in the right pocket, Jimmy Butler didn't wait for a false shake, and Li Ze seemed to have anticipated his movements, and went straight to the ball with both hands.

Before Jimmy Butler could react, Li Ze used both hands to pull the ball out of the opponent's arms, and under the vigorous pull, Butler stumbled again.

"God! Kayce completes the steal in the opponent's arms! ”

Narrator Kevin Harlan couldn't help but scream when he saw Jimmy Butler being dragged down the street by Lize.

Jimmy Butler, who fell to the floor, could only see Li Ze accelerating with the ball in his right hand, and his teammates failed to chase the defense, and everyone watched Li Ze stretch his body to complete the windmill dunk.

"Boom!"

The basket exploded, and Li Ze, who completed the dunk, made a gliding posture after landing on the ground, and quickly retreated back to his own half.

At 2:12, the difference came to 10 points.

Both offenses were cut off face-to-face, and Jimmy Butler wanted to keep the ball going, but Jeff Teague, who dribbled past half court, signaled for a low post play.

Jimmy Butler, who was furious and incompetent and furious, simply smoked in the bottom corner of the left side, watched Downs break through the left block, and hit another iron under the basket.

The ball slammed into the frame, Harris grabbed the rebound in front of Gibson, dribbled two big strides and immediately threw the ball forward.

Jaylen Brown kept accelerating, catching the ball with his right hand and carrying Jeff Teague to accelerate, jumping with both feet in the paint area, tilting his body to dodge the block, and throwing the ball to the rebound with his right hand.

"Squeak!"

"Bang!"

The whistle blew and the ball went in, the ball hit the board and went into the frame, and Jaylen Brown, who fell to the floor, immediately threw his fist and roared.

Jaylen Brown's penalty hit steadily, and there was another huge cheer in the Intuit Dome arena.

"Head coach Thibodeau has to ask for a timeout, the Timberwolves' offense has a big problem, and if it continues like this, the game will lose suspense."

Reggie Miller watched the two new talents of the Timberwolves play iron again after the opening, and said good things on his lips, but in his heart he felt that this round of the series was over.

At 2:15, the point difference is getting wider and wider, and the Timberwolves seem to be collapsing.

Angrily asking for a timeout, Coach Thibodeau didn't expect the team's offense to be like this:

"Retreat! We need to step back in time, we are the one who is behind! ”

"The game has just begun, there are 7 minutes left in the first quarter, do a good job defending, OK?!"

After Thibodeau said this, he immediately looked at the core players.

Wiggins looked calm and nodded immediately when he saw the head coach's gaze, while Downs looked a little frustrated and finally nodded in response.

It's a team that belongs to both of them, and as the star of the team, when it comes to difficulties, it's really time to step up.

After returning from a timeout, the Timberwolves calmed down and took advantage of Towns' pick-and-roll, and Wiggins scored two points under the basket.

Looking back, Li Ze didn't want to cover, came to the left wing, approached the three-point line, held the ball in his left hand, suddenly pulled the ball back, half-turned around and feintmed his body quickly twisted forward, and suddenly accelerated after stepping.

Stuck half a body, Li Ze crushed and broke through, carried Jimmy Butler's defense, and quickly came to the left blocking area.

The left hand vigorously exploded the ball on the spot, Li Ze quickly switched to his right hand, protected the ball with his back, and then clattered to hit.

Jimmy Butler gritted his teeth behind him, only to be hit twice in his chest, and what made him feel even more helpless was that he was slammed into the paint area again.

Approaching the basket, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly pulled the ball back sharply, and his shoulders shook, making Jimmy Butler unable to predict the offensive action for a while.

When Lee twisted forward again and quickly completed a step-back jumper, Jimmy Butler seemed to have roots under his feet, still in place.

"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!

On the TNT commentary bench, Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan both covered their heads at the same time, shrimp and pig hearts, and Li Ze scolded Jimmy Butler after the opening, and has not missed it so far.

The cheers of the fans stimulated Jimmy Butler again, but instead of being frustrated, the tough guy clapped his hands at Li Ze and shouted with a hideous expression:

“ Come on！ Man”

Li Ze just smiled, he naturally had to meet the other party's request.

In the next few minutes, Jimmy Butler begged for a thrash.

In several offensive rounds in a row, Li Ze opened the attack left and right, and the blocking areas on both sides continued to hit with his back to the single, either turning over and jumping to shoot, or slamming to the basket, and using up and down steps to easily pick up the basket.

The Timberwolves' scoring also slowly increased, with Wiggins and Jeff Teague shouldering the scoring load.

Downs finally hit a three-pointer late in the first quarter after his own hard work.

"Shhhhh

At 15:30, although the difference was not narrowed, the Clippers fans at the scene still booed.

Jimmy Butler had already broken the defense by this time, and no matter how he defended, he ended up in the paint zone.

Without the shaking of bells and whistles, Li Ze completely broke his defense with only speed and strength.

Coming to the top of the arc, Li Ze immediately commanded Jokic and signaled to play a low-post tactic.

Also in the three-second zone, Gibson took the initiative to switch behind Jokic, and Towns came to the right near baseline position, responsible for defending Harris who bounced outside to the bottom corner on the right side.

In the left blocking area, Jokic successfully stuck Gibson behind him, received Li Ze's pass and leaned back hard.

Gibson thought Jokic was attacking in the low post and focused all his attention on the fat white man in front of him.

Li Ze, who sent a pass at the top of the arc, suddenly swayed left and right at this time, and accelerated to cut in after throwing a fake action.

Jimmy Butler was half a beat slower to react and was immediately thrown out of position, and Li Ze rushed to the paint area, and Jokic took advantage of the situation to send a grounded pass.

After rebounding, the ball came to just the right height, Li Ze grabbed the ball and took off directly after stepping forward.

The fans at the scene only felt that Li Ze flew up in the blink of an eye, and subconsciously cheered loudly!

Downs, who was near the baseline on the right side, was still moving to the basket, and when he saw Li Ze rising in the air, he subconsciously jumped up and blocked.

But he soon realized that he didn't have enough height on the jump, and Downs struggled to straighten his right hand and make a final struggle.

Li Ze in the air completely ignored the defense in front of him, knocked away Downs, took advantage of the opponent's loss of body center of gravity, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and pressed the ball into the basket fiercely!

"Boom!"

The ball flew in, and seeing that Li Ze, who was almost violent on the spot, knocked the defending Downs to the ground, everyone on the court was dumbfounded, and even forgot to help their teammates on the street.

The Intuit Dome arena was completely fried, and the Clippers fans saw Li Ze show off his biceps after landing, and they all shouted excitedly for a while.

Downs, who was almost slapped horizontally on the floor, showed a pained expression, and the mocking voices of the fans were heard in his ears:

"Go home, big cupcakes!"

"Gummy Bears are harder than you, you're going to be swept away!"

“.”

Downs ignored the noise in his ears and thought his teammates would come to help him, but after waiting for a while, he only saw the camera under the basketball hoop slamming at him.

"Shet!"

When his teammates pulled him up, Downs slapped his thigh angrily and scolded helplessly.

Li Ze, who was pacing back and defending, looked at Jimmy Butler with a smile on his face, and the tough guy lost his temper at this time, no longer making any provocative gestures, and ran towards half court with his head down.

At the end of the first quarter, everyone on the Timberwolves bench had straight eyes, was this a repeat of the G1 game?

At 17:37, a huge difference of 20 points, it means that the game is over.

"Kayce completely destroyed Jimmy Butler, the gap between the two is huge, but I still have to praise Butler's spirit, I love to see this kind of matchup."

Reggie Miller didn't care about the point difference anymore and started telling the story of old-school basketball with a smile.

The narrator, Kevin Harlan, didn't interject, it was so brutal that he had some sympathy for Jimmy Butler.

9 of 9, 2 of 2 free throws, 20 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Li Ze's scores were all concentrated near the basket.

Jimmy Butler on the bench gasped for air and put a towel over his head to keep his teammates from seeing his expression.

At this time, he didn't hear what the head coach was explaining at all, his brain was blank, and the nightmare first quarter!

0 in 2, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 3 turnovers, zero points in the score, and a big crotch.

On the Clippers bench, Li Ze put on a T-shirt, and the huge point difference made him play in the second half of the second quarter, and tonight is another three quarters.

The sports reporters on the scene, at this time, really felt that if he let go of singles, Li Ze might easily be able to score 80 points!

Without help defense, single defense is a white gift, and Coach Thibodeau on the sidelines already feels that his head is big, and he only hopes that the rotation lineup can save some face.

The demoralized Timberwolves completely stopped in the face of the Clippers rotation who had entered the downwind God of War mode, and the point difference was not only not narrowed, but further widened.

Crawford can still score, but it really doesn't play any role on the defensive end.

Derrick Rose is also trying to score points, but he can't score efficiently against a more dynamic Clippers crowd.

Li Ze only played 3 minutes and 21 seconds in the final 2nd quarter, and the game had completely lost its suspense.

At 35:70, the Clippers entered the second half with a 35-point lead.

At the Intuit Dome, fans celebrated the victory, taking advantage of the half-time period to grab snacks and watch them in the second half

"Coach Thibodeau should be thinking about how to protect the home stadium at this time."

"The Timberwolves have serious problems on both ends of the floor at the moment, and Towns needs to get back to his form as soon as possible."

Reggie Miller didn't say anything about the future at this time, and Downs' current performance is almost like the regular season.

Downs took a lot of shots in the second quarter, and as a result, he was 2-of-9 in the half, scoring five points and six rebounds

Commentator Kevin Harlan didn't know what to say about the two new talents, Downs and Wiggins, so he could only change the subject in the end:

"The playoffs all start with a win on the road, and the Timberwolves still have a chance!"

“.”

In the second half of the game, Li Ze fished all the way, and after the official pause of the game in the third quarter, the Timberwolves took the initiative to replace the main lineup, and the atmosphere group appeared, which meant that the other party announced that he would admit defeat.

The referee didn't bother to blow the whistle, and the game time flew by, and in the end, 80:128, the Clippers beat the Timberwolves at home, and the series score came to 2:0.

This time, everyone in the Timberwolves team lost their smiling faces, and they lost too much, so they naturally were not in the mood to greet each other.

The Intuit Dome arena was filled with the cheers of Clippers fans, and everyone did not leave the court immediately after the game, but continued to celebrate the victory.

Paul George exchanged fists with the atmosphere group who came off the court, then looked up at the oversized scoreboard above the arena, and couldn't help but whisper to Li Ze beside him:

"How did the Hornets lose by 58 points back then?"

“.”

Jimmy Butler was also not present at the post-game press conference.

played 25 minutes, 2 of 7, and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers, such a performance made the tough guy autistic.

Li Ze only played 22 minutes in tonight's game, 12-of-14, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finished with 30 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.

Amerika's sports media sighed on social media when they saw the data of the two:

"Kayce completely destroyed Jimmy Butler, and hopefully after this year's series, Butler won't be affected too much."

In the other two games of the night, 95:102, the Trail Blazers defeated the Thunder, and the series score came to 2:0.

Turtle and Carmelo Anthony performed averagely, and the combined performance of the two for 36 points naturally could not make the Thunder win.

At 97:100, the Cavaliers who were playing at home almost overturned again, and the offense suddenly lost power in the third quarter of the game, almost losing them directly at home.

At 18:33 in the first quarter, the Cavaliers played a smooth offense, but the Pacers did not give up the game and continued to narrow the difference.

It wasn't until the last 2 minutes that the two sides were able to decide the winner, and LeBron James was once again Cleveland's hero!

Playing 41 minutes, 17-of-24, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 10-of-13 from the free-throw line, 46 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, LeBron James single-handedly protected the home court.

Compared with the Clippers' crazy abuse, the matchup between the Pacers and the Cavaliers became the traffic responsibility of the night, and James was praised on social media

The playoffs are all turn-based, and on the night of the 20th, the Cavaliers take on the Pacers on the road.

The sports media that blew up LeBron James two days ago was furious about the chosen one that night.

At 90:92, with a 17-point lead at 57:40 in the first half, the Cavaliers' offense lost power in the third quarter.

At 12:23 in the first quarter, the Pacers turned the tables against the wind, and in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers failed to find their offensive state, and finally had no choice but to lose.

LeBron James, who played 42 minutes, did his best, shooting 10-of-22, 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring a quasi-triple-double of 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 6 turnovers.

The series fell behind 1:2, and the next game was the home court of the Pacers, and everyone began to sing the Cavaliers down, while following the trend and mocking James:

"LeBron James is completely out of the gas and the Cavaliers will be out of the first round this year!"

Compared with other teams, the performance of the Cavaliers is indeed a bit stretched, and in the game the day before, the 76ers, Rockets, and Warriors won again, and the two teams in the Western Conference have already won the match point.

LeBron James' loss became the biggest hotspot in the first round of the playoffs, and the Clippers sucked most of the heat out of the game.

On the night of the 21st, the target center arena was full, and it was rare to enter the playoffs, and the Timberwolves fans naturally wanted to support it.

20,000 tickets sold out early and fans were confident that the home team would be able to protect their home stadium.

Enthusiastic fans spontaneously branded slogans and painted oil paint on their faces, shouting loudly from the moment the game started, constantly cheering for the home team.

Kevin Garnett also came to the scene tonight to stand for the Timberwolves, as a team celebrity, and he also gave Towns some psychological massage in the past two days.

Garnett doesn't want the budding to be as tough as he is, he just wants Towns to be able to defend well.

As the game progressed, the sound in the target center arena became quieter and quieter.

It doesn't seem to be much different from the previous two games, the offensive and defensive ends are still stretched, even if Paul George follows the iron tonight, but the difference is still gradually widening.

At the end of the half, the only thing left in the arena was the noise of the fans.

At 62:47, the Clippers' offensive firepower dropped, and they still led by 15 points at halftime.

The fans at the scene naturally knew what the G3 loss meant, and after the start of the second half of the game, the atmosphere in the target center arena was completely furious, and the fans tried to wake up the home team with their own shouts.

Li Ze likes this atmosphere very much, and the scolding, exclamations, and noises can better stimulate his state.

At the end of the third quarter, the menacing Timberwolves fans had their eyes straight, and some fans even covered their faces with their hands and looked at the scoreboard above the arena in disbelief.

In the third quarter, the score was 50:20 in the third quarter, and the third quarter was over, 112:67, and the difference became 45 points.

Commentator Kevin Harlan looked confused, watched it several times, confirmed that it was really 50 points, and couldn't help but shout again:

"God! Kayce killed the game, and it was unbelievable that the Clippers scored 50 points in the first quarter! ”

Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics and could only sigh:

"Crazy efficiency, crazy offense, this is Kayce, the best scorer of all time!"

He was 8-of-10 from the field, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, and finished with 24 points and four rebounds and no assists.

Li Ze appropriately increased his aggressiveness, and then the game was completely spent

There was silence on the Timberwolves' bench, with Jimmy Butler bowing his head and not saying a word, and Wiggins and Towns were dumbfounded, watching the atmosphere group come on.

The two newcomers realized the horror of Li Ze in playoff mode, and at this time they even wanted to end the series early:

"Tired, destroy."
