A block increases the three-point shooting percentage of two players designated by the host by ten percent. (center single buff)

This is what Da Zhuang discovered after turning on the system half an hour before the start of the game.

One purple and four white.

On April 4th, the Timberwolves ushered in their first playoff game after 20 seasons at the Target Center. For today’s game, the entire Target Center was almost full, even outside the venue. A large number of Timberwolves fans do not want to leave.

Several bars around the arena were full.

It can be said that the Timberwolves fans have waited too long for this playoffs. When local reporters in Minnesota interviewed on the streets before the game, many Timberwolves fans said that no matter what the final results of the Timberwolves in this series, they They will be very satisfied. The team's ability to reach this position is something that all Timberwolves fans could not have imagined before the start of the season.

In the first round of the playoffs yesterday, four games were played first, two games in each of the east and west. Some of the results were within everyone's expectations, and some were completely beyond expectations.

The Nets played away against the Raptors. In the end, the Nets defeated the Raptors 94-87.

The Eagles played against the Pacers. As everyone expected, the Pacers should be able to easily win the game. In the end, the Eagles defeated the Pacers 101 to 93 in the away game. The result shocked everyone when it came out. Unexpectedly, the No. [-] Pacers in the East even lost a point at their home court.

The Pacers' defeat in this game also sounded the alarm for the Timberwolves, which shows that the ranking of the regular season in the playoffs does not necessarily reflect the real strength gap between everyone.

The miracle of black eight is not without in the history of the league.

In the two games in the West, the Clippers defeated the Rockets 105-100 at home, taking the lead 1-0.

The Thunder beat the Trail Blazers 112-103 at home.

"Everyone, I know that the playoffs are the first time for many of us here, including me and my coaching staff. The Pacers lost yesterday. Do you know what this means? It means that from now on everyone is standing. We are on the same starting line. All the results we have achieved in the regular season will be reset to zero. We need to start again. Many people outside say that we are not optimistic about us and that we have no experience in the playoffs, but I want to say The question is, is experience really that important sometimes? No, I firmly do not admit this. I think no matter what game, whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, our own state is the most important. Don’t go Regardless of outside comments, we just need to fully display our strength, guys, use your strength to tell those people outside that we are capable of defeating anyone."

Before playing in the locker room, Da Zhuang poured a wave of chicken soup to everyone in a passionate tone. It seemed that the effect was not bad. After speaking, it was obvious that many people were full of fighting spirit.

"Friends of the audience, good morning, everyone, welcome to watch the first round of the NBA playoffs from 2013 to 2014 brought by Penguin Sports, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the No. Grizzlies, Director Zhang and I will explain the game together today, welcome to Director Zhang!"

"Good morning fans and friends!"

"Director Zhang, you also watched the game between the Pacers and the Eagles yesterday. Do you think this is normal? After all, in the regular season, one is the first in the Eastern Conference and the other is the eighth in the Eastern Conference. The records of the two teams in the regular season are still There is a big gap, and the Pacers also have the upper hand in the regular season records of the other two teams."

"I think it's normal. In fact, during the regular season, even though the Pacers had the upper hand, the advantage was not that great. The two sides played against each other three times. The Pacers had two wins and one loss, but the difference in points was not that big. , and now it is the playoffs, the intensity of this game is obviously different from that of the regular season. In yesterday's game, it was obvious that the Eagles were more prepared and more serious about the game than the Pacers. I think this That's the charm of the playoffs, anything is possible!"

"What about today's game, who do you think can win this game?"

"Of course I hope the Timberwolves can win the game, but it depends on the Timberwolves' preparations. The Grizzlies are not easy to play."

While everyone was discussing the many possibilities of today's game, the home team's entrance ceremony also began.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup for today's game is a little different. Middleton actually appeared in the starting lineup. This was something that everyone did not expect when predicting before the game. Most of them thought that the Timberwolves Definitely pick the more experienced Carter as the starter.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup is Rubio, Middleton, Bennett, Yi Jianlian and Oden.

The starting lineup for the Grizzlies is Mike Conley, Courtney, Prince, Marc Gasol, Randolph.

After the entrance ceremony, Mike Conley also stepped forward to hug Oden. The two friends were also very excited, especially Mike Conley, who was able to see his friend appearing in the playoffs. Auden was delighted.

This season should be a very complete season after Oden entered the NBA.

It is not easy for the 26-year-old Oden to be able to stand on the stage of the playoffs with the first score in the regular season.

Da Zhuang even suspected that the reason why a center's buff was generated was that the system specially prepared it for Oden. After all, the system rarely refreshed the center's buff.

At this moment, the starting players of both sides on the court have come to the center of the court and stood in their positions.

After a few words with the technical desk, the referee also came to the court with the basketball in his arms.

Then, after talking to the players on both sides, he came to the side of Oden and Gasol, followed by throwing the ball into the air, and then blew the whistle in his mouth.

The game officially begins.

Oden's jump ball has always been trustworthy. He grabbed the ball in front of Gasol and directed the ball in the direction of his teammates. Middleton got stuck and hugged the basketball, then bent down to protect the ball. , Handed the ball to Rubio.
