Press conference.

"Coach Su Chen, you swept the opponent, what do you think made you win the series?"

The reporter took the lead in asking Su Chen.

'Focus, we've been focused all season.

'You know, we went through a lot at the start of the season and each and every one of us was looking for our best position.

"I told the players that if you want to play in this team you have to be focused, both defensively and offensively.

Facing the reporter's interview, Su Chen replied calmly.

"The Trail Blazers are also a youth army, but they were swept by you, what kind of team do you think they are?"

Then a reporter asked Su Chen.

This question has a bit of a provocative direction.

'They have very strong attacking players and when Aldridge gets the ball, we have to take turns to limit them.

"Lillard was also very good, and honestly, he scored some incredible goals."

"But we found the right way to disrupt their rhythm and we were focused."

For this question, Su Chen also gave a more official answer.

I didn't look down on my opponent because I swept it, and I said something ridiculous or demeaning about it.

Hearing Su Chen's answer, the reporter was a little disappointed.

Originally, I thought that Su Chen, the young marshal, did not have enough emotional intelligence, but now it seems that there is no chance to get any news.

"What do you think of your next opponent?"

The reporter asked Su Chen again.

"The next round is not over yet, but the Warriors are currently 3-1 ahead, and I had a great time with them last season and I know very well what they are capable of."

"But whether it's the Rockets or the Warriors, we need to stay focused and defend every round seriously."

In Su Chen's slightly official answer, he also expressed his own opinions.

After answering some more questions, Su Chen returned to the hotel.

The team had a short break and was ready for their flight back to Minnesota.

Regardless of whether it is against the Warriors or the Rockets, the Timberwolves will be the first to get home-court advantage.

Inside the hotel.

The first thing Su Chen did when he returned to the hotel was to open the system interface and check the information.

Su Chen's heart was a little apprehensive.

"I don't know if the Trail Blazers are an A-level team."

Su Chen was also a little unsure in his heart.

Although the Trail Blazers have Aldridge at his peak and Lillard who is slowly starting to enter the peak, the overall Timberwolves and Trail Blazers are not very difficult to match.

According to Su Chen's understanding, A-level is also divided into three levels: A-, A, and A+.

The check-in requires an A grade, so A- is not enough to sign in.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is unlikely to fall to the B division, but it is possible that it will be A-.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning and grading the series of teams above grade A, and a draw can be played. ”

After seeing this message, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, the Trail Blazers still achieved an A grade.

"It seems that Lillard, who is 75 in the future, should add a lot of points."

Su Chen smiled.

And after confirming that the Trail Blazers are A-level, the remaining teams can basically be determined to be A-level or above.

The next round is probably the Warriors to advance.

The defending champions, there are no changes in the players, and there is even an extra Brewer.

The Trailblazers can all be A-level, so there is no reason for the Warriors to be lower than A-level.

As for the strong teams that will be faced next, a Spurs and a Heat, these two teams are properly S-level.

In other words, this season's opponent of the Timberwolves has played a basic lottery.

"Let's smoke!"

Su Chen didn't think much about it, and directly began to smoke.

The lottery of this system made Su Chen feel a little helpless, there was no process, no turntable, no fruit machine.

It's just a direct result.

Although most of the lottery results are generated when the lottery button is pressed, it is not bad to pretend to be excited when watching the process.

"After the drawing, the A-level skill [Explosive Penalty Moment] has been issued."

Another A-rank skill!

The last time I drew an A-level skill, it was the hot zone that ignited this skill.

How to say it.

Su Chen felt that the A-level skills were a bit restrictive.

Last season, there was a guy like Curry who was full of hot spots, and this skill is very practical and can be said to be worthy of A-level performance.

But this season, Middleton, the team's most accurate team, has two hot spots on the outside.

There's a piece that's still in the bottom corner.

This season, the hot zone ignited this skill, and it was almost forgotten by Su Chen.

From last season's A-level skill, which was super strong, to a chicken rib A-level skill.

For this new skill, [Explosive Penalty Moment], Su Chen actually guessed a little bit in his heart.

Click on [Explosive Penalty Moment] and take a look.

[Burst Penalty Moment (Grade A): The player obtains the Burst Penalty Charge, which improves the designated player's ability to make fouls and increases the ability to make free throws, and the continuous effect: Gain two charges in one minute, the player's impact on the basket will automatically take effect, and whether the free throw is made will consume a charge. 】

"That's quite restrictive."

Su Chen looked at the skill description and frowned.

This, along with the hot zone ignition, both lasts for one minute.

However, the hot zone ignites in one minute, which is an infinite number of times, and can be hit about three times according to the normal offensive and defensive rhythm.

If the opponent doesn't delay the time to play fast, or Su Chen directly uses foul tactics and commits two points to chase three points.

This one takes effect more often.

This burst penalty moment lasts for one minute, but only gives two effects.

And if you don't guarantee that you can make free throws, it won't matter if you go to the free throw line or not.

However, when Su Chen thought about it, it was actually reasonable.

If the opponent has five foul players on the court, this moment of explosive punishment, arrange a tactic to find the opponent to play.

I can beat the opponent's five foul players to graduation!

If this skill takes effect an unlimited number of times in one minute, it can even hit the main force of a three-offender to a five-offender in an instant, or even graduate.

In that case, this skill is an S-level evaluation.

"Although the truth is this, it's just that these two charges can't guarantee that the foul will be played steadily, and the intensity will be a little low."

Su Chen thought about it, and could only accept it helplessly.

Then, it's customary to look at your own panel.

[Host]: Su Chen

[Items]: Simulated glasses (S grade), medium bottle reusable stamina drink (A grade)

[Skills]: Eagle Eye (B-level), Hot Zone Ignition (A-level), Fixed Ability (B-level), Explosive Penalty Time (A-level)

[Bond]: Striker Bond (Grade A)

【？？？ ]: Unlock any of these abilities

[Simulation Glasses (S Level): The tactics you arrange are simulated 1,000 times in an instant, and the players can complete them more smoothly, and the organizational attributes of all members are +20%. 】

[Medium Bottle Reusable Stamina Drink (Grade A): After being used on a player, it can recover a certain amount of stamina, and can be used once in a normal game, and will be automatically recharged after the next game starts. 】

[Eagle Eye (Class B): After turning on the Eagle Eye state, it will continue to consume mental power, mark a place, and be able to clearly see the mark. 】

[Fixed Ability Value (B Level): After activating the skill, you can designate a player, and his ability value will be locked at 80% of the strength of the peak for a whole match. (Note: If the player is too old, it will be reduced to 60%~75%)】

[Burst Penalty Moment (Grade A): The player obtains the Burst Penalty Charge, which improves the designated player's ability to make fouls and increases the ability to make free throws, and the continuous effect: Gain two charges in one minute, the player's impact on the basket will automatically take effect, and whether the free throw is made will consume a charge. 】

"That category is quite mysterious, I don't know if I can pull out that category this season."

Su Chen turned off the panel.

Su Chen sat on the bed and took down the notebook.

"I'm going to fight the warriors next, how can the warriors fight?"

Su Chen looked at his notebook and thought.

In fact, if you want to say how strong this Warriors team is, it is not very strong.

First of all, from the perspective of the lineup, the Warriors' lineup is actually weaker than the lineup in the original timeline.

Bogut didn't talk about it, he was injured in the original timeline, and this timeline was even more mysteriously injured earlier than the original timeline.

The original Warriors had Iguodala this season, and this season it became Brewer.

Although Brewer also has some strength, it is still a lot worse than Iguodala.

The Warriors in the original timeline fought seven games with the Clippers and were eliminated in the first round.

The Clippers did not beat the Thunder in the original timeline, and it is conceivable that the strength of the Warriors at that time.

But the Warriors also have a point of getting stronger.

That is, the Warriors have found the most suitable style of play for themselves in advance.

After Su Chen led the Warriors to win the championship last season, Xiao Hua saw that he had won the championship with his small-ball play, and directly pushed the boat down the river to implement the rule changes he had planned early in advance.

The change of rules, Cole took office directly after taking office.

Not only are the rules favorable to the Warriors, but at the same time, Su Chen has come up with a fairly mature system of the Warriors last season.

Cole doesn't have to go to the cumbersome little by little to improve, except that the elevator door can't be used, and the entire transmission and cutting system has been done by Su Chen.

In the first half of the season, the Warriors ran into this system, and after running in, they rushed directly to the third place in the West, which is enough to show that this team is different in terms of the entire style of play.

You must know that in the original timeline, this season's Warriors were still coached by Mark Jackson.

"The players are weaker than they were, but they found the best way to play, and there is no doubt that they should still be stronger overall."

Su Chen was taking notes while analyzing.

"But what are you going to do with my forward lineup?"

Su Chen smiled.

With the advanced system he brought, no problem.

But with his system, that means that a lot of the time Su Chen doesn't even need to use [Hawkeye] to look at Cole's tactical board.

I can also guess what tactics Kerr is going to play most of the time.

With the Timberwolves sweeping the opponent to advance.

Slowly, other teams also finished the first round one after another.

Western side.

Like the Timberwolves, the Spurs completed their sweep of the Grizzlies.

The black seven and black eight that everyone was looking forward to are now a joke at first glance.

Both the Spurs and the Timberwolves have shown the momentum of the upper teams, and neither team looks like there is much to be done by either team, whether it is the Grizzlies or the Trail Blazers.

It's not a team of the same level as the other team.

Spurs are an old powerhouse, there's not much to say about that.

Before the start of the playoffs, the Timberwolves were always considered a pseudo-powerhouse, and as soon as they arrived in the playoffs, they were exposed.

However, in the face of the sweep of the pioneers, many people still changed their views.

Some people are more tough, thinking that the Trail Blazers team was a fish belly team last season, and like the Timberwolves, it was a rebuilding playoff game.

Winning the Trailblazers, who are not a strong team, is nothing.

The controversy over the Timberwolves is still going on from the offseason to the regular season and even the playoffs now.

In addition to the Spurs and Timberwolves.

The other two teams in the West to advance to the second round are the Warriors and the Thunder.

The Warriors are relatively relaxed.

After 2-1, the Warriors won two games in a row and eliminated the Rockets led by Harden.

Under Cole's passing and cutting system, the Splash Brothers become the core, and once the hand is opened, it becomes an existence that the rocket can't stop.

The backcourt combination of Harden and Jemilin couldn't resist at all, and Beverley, the defensive titan they would have risen this season, was taken away by the Timberwolves.

With Beverley replacing Jamilin as the starting point guard, he may be able to win one more game against the Warriors.

While the Warriors won't have the same ease of qualifying as the Spurs and Timberwolves, it's not that hard.

The really hard thing is the Thunder.

They and the Clippers fought to a tie-break, and only then did they win the tie-break and advance with Wei Shao's outburst.

If it hadn't been traded, the Thunder would have had an easier time taking the Clippers.

The tie-break is not just the outbreak of Wei Shao, although Ibaka was replaced by Gobert, and the combat power has decreased a lot, but once Paul has a bad hand and can't practice Gobert alone, then Gobert's internal restrictions on the Clippers are still enough.

The results of the second round are also out.

San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors.

The veteran Spurs will face the Thunder, who rushed out of the tie-break and led by the double young.

Through the first round, both the Thunder and the Clippers were locked in a fierce battle, and more people were optimistic about the Spurs in the face of the Spurs.

If the Thunder want to win against the Spurs, then whether Gobert's restriction on Duncan is successful will become a key point.

Gobert is an offensive butter hand, and his current selling point is defense, and if the defense can't prevent Duncan, Gobert's role on the court will be a question mark.

In contrast, the other group of battles has received a lot of attention.

The Warriors dramatically met the Timberwolves, a new team led by former coach Su Chen, in the playoffs.

It's a very interesting thing.

Previously, many people were still questioning the lack of gold content of the Timberwolves' opponents in the first round, so in this round, the defending champion Warriors are full of gold.

The strength of the Warriors is considered by the outside world to be in the top three, second only to the Spurs and the Heat.

This set of counterpoints is undoubtedly very interesting.
