Soon, the G2 of both sides also started fighting.

Clippers 115: 100 Timberwolves.

In the face of the Timberwolves, the Clippers still didn't give much chance and won again.

The three-point point that the Timberwolves were proud of last season seemed to be of little use in front of the Clippers.

And the Timberwolves' defense is already a matter of last season, and this season's Timberwolves have seen a significant decline in defensive efficiency after Rivers took over.

Today's Clippers are in a strong position, leading the Timberwolves 2-0.

Jokic once again hit a big triple-double with 30+ points, which is outrageous for a rookie.

Rivers, who originally wanted to regain face, also became a laughing stock.

Clippers fans all feel that this change of coach is the right one.

Those who said before the season that the Clippers threw away Rivers and wasted the first round can't find anything to say at this time, and it seems that the Timberwolves have regressed like this.

It's a waste of a first-rounder.

But this is also something that the former owner of the Clippers did, and it can't be said that the owner of the Clippers is mediocre.

After leading the Timberwolves 2-0, it came to Minnesota.

The Timberwolves also didn't pull one back at home, losing to the Clippers again.

The Clippers led the Timberwolves 3-0.

From the 3-0 Spurs in the first round to the 3-0 Timberwolves in the second round, the Clippers have shown momentum.

Those commentators who still questioned the Clippers' rating as one of the top three superteams have no objection at this time.

As the Timberwolves of last season, they still don't want to be swept.

Like the Spurs, tonight's Timberwolves are still ready to fight.

Target Center.

At this time, Timberwolves fans are still very excited, cheering for the home team off the court.

The Timberwolves, who won the championship last season, are in a more peaceful mood this season.

Rivers stood on the sidelines with a straight face.

Obviously, this Rivers also fought for his own dignity, and he was too faceless to be swept away by Su Chen.

Players from both sides enter the pitch.

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

Clippers starting lineup: Nikola Jokic (C), Nicolas Batum (PF), Jeff Green (SF), Paul George (SG), Damian Lillard (PG)

When it came to this situation where he needed to fight not to be swept away, Rivers remembered Middleton.

Rivers' lineup is sometimes so mysterious, and by the time he reacted, the team had actually fallen into that point.

If you start playing Middleton from the first game and choose a three-point shot against the Clippers, you may have to play.

But now the Clippers have played a matchless momentum, and such an adjustment at this time is not much help for the Timberwolves.

With Jokic as the core, the Timberwolves still can't prevent it.

Jokic still can't defend on the offensive end.

With 80% of his peak ability fixed, coupled with the strengthening of his low-post heavy weapon skills, Jokic is difficult to defend on the offensive end.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's current ability is still difficult to play against Jokic.

Originally, the Timberwolves' defensive efficiency was okay, but it was Ibaka who completed the task of protecting the interior frame, and Giannis Antetokounmpo was more of an interior sweeper.

Now that Ibaka can't hold off Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo is struggling to go to the main offense instead of sweeping.

And this is simply Giannis Antetokounmpo, a rookie sophomore.

Ibaka's sweeping speed is actually okay, but in the face of Jokic's passing ability, Ibaka's sweeping speed seems a little slow.

However, replacing Middleton is not without a little effect.

The Timberwolves' offense this time is obviously much smoother, and Rivers is not ignorant of tactics at all.

Rivers' coaching is erratic, sometimes he can do well, but sometimes he is poor.

But compared to the previous game, the Timberwolves only attacked a little better, and the defensive end still couldn't prevent it.

The game is over.

Timberwolves 105:116 Clippers.

The Clippers still won the game.

At the same time, the Clippers also completed the sweep of the Timberwolves.

For Timberwolves fans, they broke through the encirclement last season to win the championship, and this season they were swept directly in the second round.

Such a gap is still a bit too big.

One less Lohr Deng is not a reason, and old fans who know penalty kicks know that the gap from last season is not one Lohr Deng at all.

looked at Su Chen, who was celebrating with the Clippers players, although they were relieved that Su Chen won the championship before changing teams.

At this time, Timberwolves fans obviously want Su Chen to return to the Timberwolves.

However, compared to the faster ships, it is indeed difficult for a small ball market like the Timberwolves to attract Su Chen at this level.

At this time, the two sides shook hands after the game.

The series between the two sides is over, they are no longer opponents, and it is necessary to shake hands out of respect.

The Timberwolves lost the game, and they were a little depressed, but at this time, Su Chen had already taken the initiative to come over, and in the face of his veteran players, Su Chen stretched out his hand to hug them one by one.

Facing the former coach, the Timberwolves players still packed up their mood and shook hands with Su Chen and hugged him.

Rivers looked very embarrassed at this time.

He would have wanted to get out of the tunnel, but in that case, the media would have seized on that and written.

Seeing Su Chen and the Timberwolves players hugging, Rivers became even more angry.

When it was time to shake hands with him, Rivers shook Su Chen casually with a straight face, and immediately went out of the players' tunnel.

Post-match press conference.

Jokic, as the MVP of this round, has obviously attracted a lot of attention.

Especially in this series, Jokic has clearly risen to become the team's boss, and the Clippers star is a favorite in the media.

"The coach helped me a lot, and I even had a plan for losing before the draft, and the outside world was saying that I couldn't fit in the league."

"But the coach chose me, and with Coach Milosevic, I taught a lot of things together."

In the face of reporters' questions, Jokic appeared very mature.

And these words are what Jokic really wants to say.

When scouts examined him, they were all wondering if he could play in the NBA physically.

Even after being drafted, Jokic still thinks that the team will definitely make him lose weight like most of the agile interior players in the league right now.

But Su Chen didn't ask him to lose too much weight at all, but encouraged him to play the way he liked.

During the interview, Jokic expressed his gratitude to Su Chen.

However, Su Chen just dealt with the reporter casually, and then ran back to the hotel directly.

Inside the hotel.

"It's an A-list team again."

Su Chen rubbed his hands and smiled.

The Spurs are an A-level team, and the Timberwolves are also A-level teams, which is cool in the West!

The Timberwolves' strength on paper, from this season, is indeed above the Spurs.

Su Chen was wondering, will the Mavericks, the eighth team in the West, also be an A-level team?

After all, the Mavericks still have a win rate of more than 60%.

"Whatever, let's draw a lottery first."

Su Chen didn't think about it so much.

The system page was opened directly.

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

When the team won the series, Su Chen had already heard a prompt tone.

Now click on it, it is indeed a lottery for A-level teams.

Originally, in the last round, Su Chen didn't particularly care about the lottery, but the skills drawn were too easy to use.

If it weren't for the [low weight] Jokic playing Brother Alphabet in this round, he might not be so cool.

"Lottery!"

Su Chen conducted a lottery.

"The draw is complete, and the A-class item [Full Speed Shoes] has been distributed."

Seeing this lottery information, Su Chen smiled.

A-level skills were drawn in the last round, and A-level items were drawn in this round.

The last round of [Low Heavy Equipment] helped quite a lot.

So what is this round of [Full Speed Shoes]?

"Check."

Su Chen clicked on the introduction of this item.

[Full Speed Shoes (Grade A): Putting on full speed shoes for the player can trigger full speed every time the player makes the third effort, and the front start can be greatly reduced without consuming physical strength at full speed. 】

"Full speed?"

Su Chen was a little puzzled by this description.

It's easy to understand if you give the player acceleration, but the literal meaning of full speed doesn't seem to mean to increase the upper speed.

Just increase a player's speed to full speed.

There is a similar one to full speed, and there is one called full force.

For example, sometimes when he is very good at James, he will say all his strength.

That's probably what full speed means.

"But it's not bad not to use physical strength at full speed."

Although Su Chen didn't understand the concept of full speed, it was quite understandable that he didn't reduce his physical strength at full speed.

It is triggered every three times, which reduces the player's player consumption by a lot.

As for who to use this skill, Su Chen hadn't thought about it yet.

First of all, Jokic will forget it.

Jokic's full throttle wasn't very fast, nor was it enough for Jokic to get out.

This item can be given to Lillard, allowing Lillard to chase him out at full speed.

You can also give George more involvement in the defense.

Su Chen still gives priority to the main general, although Jeff Green, Batum and Anderson are also very suitable for wearing full-speed shoes and going around to help defend.

But this full-speed shoe is not said to be only on the defensive end, and it can also trigger full speed on the offensive end, which is naturally the most cost-effective for players who integrate offense and defense.

After getting the equipment, Su Chen directly clicked on his panel.

"That's right, one more powerful boost."

Su Chen touched his chin.

After looking at his panel, Su Chen turned it off.

"It's fun to be a Warrior in the next round."

Su Chen looked out the window.

If you can beat the Warriors, the next is the Knights.

It's also a bit emotional.

The Timberwolves are his second championship team, and the Warriors are his first championship team.

James, on the other hand, is a two-time championship rival.

It's really a call back and forth, all old acquaintances.
