If Su Chen leads the Timberwolves first, he can't do it without voting for Su Chen.

Milosevic is the coach from the Europa League, and when he heard Su Chen's words, he was stunned for a moment and understood.

He didn't know that the alliance still had to talk about human feelings.

Whether it is Su Chen or him, in this alliance, there is no connection at all.

"If they don't vote for you, then they're too much."

Although Milosevic figured out this logic, he still felt a little unfair.

"It's nothing, there are always some honors that can't be controlled by human feelings."

Su Chen didn't care too much, and said to Milosevic with a smile.

Can't be swayed by favors?

Isn't that the championship?

Not to mention the championship, the Timberwolves have a hard time winning the Western Conference championship.

Milosevic only realized that this team has a lot of shortcomings after he coached three games in person last time.

He didn't understand how Su Chen led this team to play the second record in the west.

"That's too hard, isn't it?"

Milosevic was a little helpless.

"It's okay, let's check first."

Su Chen smiled indifferently.

Seeing Su Chen's expression, Milosevic was stunned, which made him feel familiar.

Last season, the Warriors turned the tables in the face of such adversity.

Su Chen was the same at that time.

"Sue, I believe in you."

Milosevic nodded solemnly to Su Chen.

Seeing Milosevic so serious, he gave Su Chen a smile.

After eating, Su Chen returned to his office to rest for a while.

At the same time, I clicked on the system, the description of the lottery.

[In addition to the debut high-level guaranteed lottery and the first win intermediate guaranteed lottery, teams with a playoff elimination evaluation of grade A or above will get a chance to win an ordinary lottery, a high-level guaranteed lottery once if they win the championship, and a chance to get a regular lottery if they get 20 consecutive wins in the regular season.] 】

[Note: If you coach the same team for two consecutive seasons, the playoffs ordinary lottery will be upgraded to the elimination of S-level teams, and the regular season 30 consecutive wins can be drawn in turn.] 】

"I don't know if the Trail Blazers are considered an A-rated team?"

Compared with Milosevic's worries, Su Chen is still thinking about whether the Trail Blazers are strong enough.

If the Trailblazers are not strong enough, it will be a loss!

Minnesota.

Target Center Arena.

After a few days of waiting, the playoffs finally began.

After Garnett left the Timberwolves, the Minnesotans hadn't seen the Wolves play their home games in the playoffs for a long time, and finally the Timberwolves are back!

The arena is full of Timberwolves fans, and the blue and white jersey hue makes the arena look like an ocean.

Today is undoubtedly full.

For the opponents to face next, Timberwolves fans are also very angry, because the outside world is shouting Black Seven.

The home team finally made the playoffs, and they had to be ridiculed by other teams, and Timberwolves fans couldn't bear to swallow their anger at this time.

Everyone held their breath and used the largest decibel to give the trailblazers a little shock.

Regardless of black eight or black seven, the big pillar of shame and the small pillar of shame are all pillars of shame.

They don't want the team to finally return to the playoffs and end the playoff journey in a humiliating way.

It is said that the Timberwolves have no playoff experience, but they obviously do!

That's Su Chen, last season's championship coach!

After the frantic screams of the entrance ceremony, Su Chen also entered in a low-key manner.

But I didn't expect that my low-key entrance was still pointed out by the live DJ with lighting.

At the same time, the Timberwolves fans not only cheered for Su Chen, but also gave a standing ovation to all of them.

For the man who brought the Timberwolves back to the playoffs, the Minnesotan has expressed their respect for Su Chen.

In the spotlight, in the face of the enthusiasm of the fans, Su Chen still made a simple gesture in response.

Then he ignored the cheers, and went into a state of serious work, holding his hands on his chest to watch the players on the field warm up.

The Trailblazers are still not weak.

The sophomore, Lillard, averaged 20.7 points per game in the regular season, and in the playoffs, instead of hitting the rookie wall, he increased his scoring to 22.9 points per game.

Although Lillard was later named the 75th largest company, he was ridiculed a lot.

But Lillard is really able to maintain an efficient output every season, and he doesn't look like a rookie at all.

At the same time, Aldridge came to the peak of his career, and it can be said that Aldridge in the past two or three seasons is the strongest version of himself.

Batum is also almost at the peak of his career.

Speaking of which, before the draft, Giannis Antetokounmpo's template was Batum.

Batum is very comprehensive, can rush, can shoot, can pass, can defend, and is a representative of the all-round forward.

But he doesn't have one that can reach the top of the league.

He played as a core player for two seasons at the Hornets, and then proved that he really can't be a core player.

But now Batum, as a role player, can still play a big role for the Trail Blazers.

Matthews is also at the peak of his career, a shooter with accuracy on the line.

As for their interior line, Robin Lopez is much inferior.

And his brother Lopezby, he's not on the same track.

He can become the starting interior line of the Trail Blazers, in fact, it all depends on hard work, and his talent is mediocre.

"If the Trail Blazers can't be considered an A-level team, then many teams are afraid that they won't reach the A-level rating."

Su Chen looked at the lineup of the Trailblazers and thought to himself.

These teams in the West that have entered the playoffs, to be honest, basically have no weakness.

If the scoring system is normal, at least seven of the eight playoff teams will have an A rating.

As for the east, it's hard to say.

"Before the Western Finals, there was a home advantage, which is not bad."

Su Chen was very satisfied with the second result in the west.

The playoff format is 2-2-1-1-1.

Including the finals, it has also been changed to 2-2-1-1-1.

Many people are saying that it is because Su Chen won the championship with three consecutive home games with the unfair format of 2-3-2 last season.

After Xiao Hua took office, in a series of rules changed, that is, the 2-3-2 in the finals was canceled.

In fact, even if it weren't for Su Chen's influence, the original timeline was canceled after Xiao Hua took office.

Soon.

The referee was holding the ball and had already walked into the middle of the field.

The game is about to start.

Trail Blazers head coach, Terry Stottes, also stepped up to the technical table.

Su Chen glanced at Terry Stottes, and in his impression, this was a very mediocre coach.

For most of his career, Terry Stoutes was an assistant coach.

And the team owner generally has little patience for him.

He made the playoffs with the Hawks in 2003 and then didn't make the playoffs the next season and fired him right away.

He then led the Bucks to the playoffs in 2006, but missed the playoffs the following season and was fired.

It's just that later his career as a pioneer was longer.

He was Lillard's one-man one-man journey as a coach who accompanied Lillard from a rookie to a 75-year-old athlete who entered the ranks of 30-year-olds.

Kindness. His playoff win rate is just over 30 percent.

So in Su Chen's impression, Terry Stottes has no achievements and is relatively mediocre.

If you have to give him any award, you can give him a Lillard Best Companion Award.

Su Chen and Terry Stouts shook hands briefly, and then returned to their camp.

Players from both sides enter.

Timberwolves starting lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Lore Deng (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Robin Lopez (C), LaMarcus Aldridge (PF), Nicolas Batum (SF), Wesley Matthews (SG), Damian Lillard (PG)

The starting lineups of the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers are the same starting lineups as in the regular season.

Neither team went out of their way to adjust the lineup for each other, but played a dozen first, and then saw if they wanted to adjust.

It is best not to change the tactical system that you are used to, you don't know how your team will play this system, and even if the adjustment effect is relatively poor.

In fact, the Timberwolves can adjust the lineup, after all, they have [analog glasses].

The reason why Su Chen did not adjust the lineup was because the strength of the pioneers was indeed one notch worse, and there was no need to adjust it.

Both sides jump the ball.

Ibaka jumped to the ball for the Timberwolves.

When Iguodala got the ball, he gave it straight to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

After entering the playoffs as second in the West, Iguodala has gone into playoff serious mode, not as he later refused to play for the Grizzlies.

This Timberwolves made him feel quite competitive.

After giving the ball to Giannis Antetokounmpo, Iguodala directly motioned for him to play, while directing others to open up space for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Iguodala did this to reinforce the team impression of Giannis Antetokounmpo as the core.

If a team's core is not clear, it will fall into a situation of random play at critical moments.

The first ball was given to Giannis Antetokounmpo, also to see how the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy was.

Aldridge and Lopez Jr., who is going to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Lopez Jr. still went to face Giannis Antetokounmpo, probably because of Lopez Jr.'s hard work on the court.

But hard work is hard to make up for the disadvantages brought by talent.

From the first ball, Su Chen used [Ability Fix] on Giannis Antetokounmpo, allowing Giannis Antetokounmpo to gain 80% of his peak ability value.

Then the striker bond, and a 10% bonus.

Of course, this algorithm is not 80+10, but in any case, the current Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be much weaker from the peak.

Giannis Antetokounmpo held the ball in front of him, glanced at Lopez Jr.'s defensive distance, and basically let him go to defend him.

In the regular season, Giannis Antetokounmpo could have thrown one from mid-range.

But his mid-range shooting percentage in the regular season is actually not very high, and in the playoffs, Giannis Antetokounmpo still wants to use an efficient offensive style.

Lopez Jr. was also nervous at this time, when Giannis Antetokounmpo saw a gap in the baseline and rushed inside with the ball.

Lopez Jr. let Giannis Antetokounmpo go, so he wasn't over.

But when the two collided, Lopez Jr. was obviously knocked back a little distance, and Giannis Antetokounmpo turned directly to complete the layup.

Timberwolves 2:0 Trail Blazers.

From the start, Giannis Antetokounmpo opened the game with a simple attack.

Due to the existence of [fixed ability value], Su Chen directly let Giannis Antetokounmpo change from exercising core strength to gaining weight.

Gaining weight while playing allowed Giannis Antetokounmpo to slowly adjust to the changes in his body.

At the same time, don't worry, after gaining weight, Giannis Antetokounmpo will become unable to play, and the existence of the [Ability Fixed] thing is what makes his ability worth.

Just like now Giannis Antetokounmpo can only play when he gains weight and uses 80% of his peak power.

Otherwise, the body is not strong enough, and this 80% of the strength will be weakened when it is used.

This made the Trail Blazers a little disappointed.

Lopez, in particular, seemed helpless.

The Trail Blazers originally thought that with Lopez Jr.'s hard work, they could more or less limit Giannis Antetokounmpo.

But just now Giannis Antetokounmpo's simple offensive goal made their defensive strategy useless.

Terry Stottes' face was a little unpleasant.

But fortunately, he didn't really count on Lopez Jr., he still has a backup plan.
