This is the newly refreshed buff that Da Zhuang found in his system buff column before returning to the Target Center Arena on May 5 for the fifth round of the game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs, one purple and four white.

For Chen Dazhuang, the important thing is not the color of the buff, but the system is really considerate. This is not obviously aimed at the current main scoring point of the Spurs.

Old guy, it seems that you are going to prepare for the new season before me.

Tsk tsk, think about whether to say something when shaking hands after this guy is eliminated. Forget it, it's still early. Even if this game is won, they still have to go to the Spurs' home court to play a game.

Soon after the game started, Bennett, who was buffed by Chen Dazhuang, gave Popovich enough surprises.

In the Spurs' first attack, Leonard was directly locked by Bennett. Finally, when the 24 seconds were about to run out, the barely made mid-range shot also hit the frame, and the rebound was also received by Oden who was stuck in the position. Down.

Seeing that his first attack failed, Popovich, standing on the sidelines, frowned. He really didn't understand whether his favorite disciple Leonard was in a bad state in this game, or whether Bennett Te's defense this time was purely an accident.

But in the next few consecutive rounds, the old man finally understood that this was not an accident.

Bennett's defense against Leonard made Popovich feel like he had seen hallucinations. He really didn't understand why Bennett could keep up with Leonard's speed.

It made Popovich look in the direction of Chen Dazhuang frequently, it was as if he had encountered a ghost.

Leonard being locked up brought a series of effects to the Spurs. After this point was blocked, the Spurs could only hand the ball to the troika, but Duncan played very well under Oden's defense. strenuous.

Ginobili and Parker, who started the game, could only try to open their hands on the outside, but unfortunately, Chen Dazhuang told Rubio and Middleton before the start of the game, to prevent the opponent's outside line and resolutely not give the opponent an easy shot from outside Opportunities can be rushed if you want, and there are Yi Jianlian and Oden waiting in the inside.

In this way, less than 5 minutes after the start of the game, everyone who followed the game found that the Spurs' offense was in great trouble, while the Timberwolves were still attacking from the inside out. Tactics, the current set of tactics with Oden as the core of tactics, Chen Dazhuang is very handy in using them.

After Oden played, Middleton and Yi Jianlian successively achieved results on the outside.

In this way, under the ebb and flow, the difference between the two sides gradually widened.

It can be said that the battle of Tianwangshan that everyone is looking forward to started from the second half of the first quarter, and the Spurs fell into a comprehensive disadvantage. Although Popovich also made a lot of adjustments, he still could not change the situation. .

In fact, Popovich knows that the most critical reason is Bennett's defense against Leonard.

In the end, the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals ended at the referee's whistle, and the score of the two sides was also fixed at 109 to 90. Whether it was the process of the game or the final score, the Spurs can be said to have won a disastrous defeat.

Although Middleton scored 34 points, the highest score in the game, as long as everyone who pays attention to this game knows that the reason why the Timberwolves can win this game, the biggest contributor is not Middleton's 34 points, but It was Bennett, who only scored 11 points, and scoring did not reflect everything. Bennett's defense against Leonard in this game was the most fundamental reason for the Spurs' defeat.

Under Bennett's strict defense, Leonard only scored 13 points in the game, of which 5 points were from free throws, and only 8 points were scored in real sports games. How successful the defense was.

And the consequence of this is that if the Spurs want to win the game when Leonard is locked up, they can only keep giving the ball to the GDP combination, so that the consumption of these three veterans will be even greater. up.

So in less than 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Popovich replaced all the main players. To him, this is a kind of slow suicide. It's a game.

3 to 2, the Timberwolves got the match point.

At the press conference after the game, Popovich also recognized Bennett's performance in this game very much.

But this is also where the old man is both angry and a little puzzled. Nima's Timberwolves have all players who performed well this season from other teams.

To put it bluntly, Popovich is now 12 points cautious about trading with the Timberwolves, mainly because the rookie coach opposite him who always has a fake smile on his face has a bad track record in this regard, at least Here in Popovich is affirmed.

"I just completed the task my boss taught me. It's not because of me alone that I won this game, but because of all of us. I think I just did what I should do." With Chen Dazhuang Bennett, who appeared at the press conference together, was also very humble when interviewed by reporters.

"He has always worked very hard. I think today's game is the result of his hard work. Of course, I think this is not his limit. I think he can still be better."

When the Timberwolves won the battle of Tianwangshan, the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals also defeated the Miami Heat 93-90 after returning to their home court, thus rewriting the big score of the two sides to 2-3. The suspense of the Eastern Conference finals resumed.

As for the battle between the Spurs and the Timberwolves for tickets to the finals, after the battle of Tianwangshan, many people can clearly see from the fatigue of the Spurs that the current Spurs are basically no longer the opponent of the Timberwolves. It is said that in this duel, the Timberwolves already have the upper hand, and the balance of victory is gradually tilting towards the Timberwolves.

According to the league's schedule, the sixth round between the two sides will be held on June 6.

The only good thing for the Spurs is that this game will return to the Spurs' home court.
