Chapter 252 Honor
The Chicago Bulls continued to easily beat the Milwaukee Bucks at home 91 to 82, leading the Bucks 2-0 in the big score.

In the west, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 99-103 at home. The two sides tied 1-1 after two rounds. The Warriors also lost a home court advantage at home.

After the end of this game, the Warriors, who had a very good prospect, were also covered with a haze.

Many people who were originally optimistic about the Warriors also began to doubt.

The next day, April 4, the Timberwolves sitting at the Target Center also ushered in the second round of the game between themselves and the Dallas Mavericks.

What the Dallas people didn't expect was that the Timberwolves in this game were even hotter than in the first game.

Almost from the beginning of the game, after three or two rounds, Dallas began to fall into a disadvantage, and from the beginning to the end, the Timberwolves did not give the Dallas Mavericks any chance at all. As long as they found that the opponent's morale was rising, they would immediately go forward. The pot of water extinguished Dallas' counterattack.

This kind of strength also excited the tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans in the stands, and the state of the team also made them see their team's hope of defending the title.

There are currently [-] teams in the league that have won championships in history, but only the Celtics, Lakers, Rockets, Pistons, Heat, and Bulls have successfully defended their titles. .

Such a feat has not even been accomplished by the Spurs, who have won 4 championships in team history.

So in the hearts of Timberwolves fans, they are very looking forward to seeing the Timberwolves can complete this milestone, and now seeing the team's strength on the court also gives them hope, and they are naturally very excited.

What is a traditional strong team? How can it be called a traditional strong team without a bit of honor. Just like the Celtics and the Chicago Bulls, these teams can get bigger every season because of their past honors. attention, and now the Timberwolves are heading in that direction.

In the end, the Timberwolves also ushered in another big victory in this game.

119 to 90, the point difference of nearly 30 points also made the applause in the stands after the game last for a long time.

In the press conference after the game, the interim head coach of the Dallas Mavericks also admitted the strength of the Timberwolves.

"The strength of the opponent is very strong. There is no doubt about it. We must face up to the gap between the two sides. Of course, when we return to our home court, we will do our best to fight for the dignity of our team. .”

Although this series has only played two games, he also knows that with his current record, it is basically impossible for him to get rid of the word "temporary".

In fact, it's no wonder that Dallas' playoffs are just about to be blown out by the Timberwolves in preparation for the playoffs. How the guy who came out temporarily to fight the fire managed the team, and his own position was in danger involved some of his thoughts, so naturally the team's preparations were not very good.

This game with the Timberwolves ended almost at the same time as there were two games in the Eastern Conference.

In the second round of the game between the Raptors and the Wizards, the Toronto Raptors lost the game again. The Wizards easily defeated their opponents 117 to 106 in the away game, thus leading the Raptors 2-0 with a big score. The next game will return to the home court of the Wizards, which also makes the Raptors even have the possibility of being swept by the Wizards.

In another game, the Cavaliers continued to play against the Celtics at home. In the end, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers also defeated the Celtics 99 to 91 without any risk, so they also scored 2 on the big score. Leading to 0.

On April 4, the last three games of the second round of the first round all started.

The Atlanta Hawks narrowly beat the Brooklyn Nets 96-91 at home, also leading 2-0.

The Houston Rockets failed to continue to win this time. They lost to the Spurs 101 to 103 at home. At the last moment, Ginobili made a mid-range shot to kill the Rockets. In this way, the big score between the two sides was also rewritten It became 1 to 1.

The Clippers played against the Grizzlies. This time the Clippers also lost at home. The Grizzlies defeated the Clippers 87-81, also rewriting the big score to 1-1.

On the afternoon of April 4, the Timberwolves team arrived at the American Airlines Arena.

And on the morning of this day, the league's official website released the major awards for this season's regular season.

The Timberwolves once again ushered in a bumper harvest.

Chen Dazhuang once again won the best head coach in the regular season, Middleton averaged 29.7 points per game and became the regular season scoring leader, while Oden became the regular season MVP, and Oden also averaged 16.7 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, Became the regular season rebounding and blocking leader, and once again entered the best team, Middleton also entered the best team.

In addition, the best rookie was won by LaVine. LaVine played 77 games in the regular season this season and defeated Wiggins with an average of 17.3 points and 6.7 assists per game.

Sims entered the best defensive team and became the most improved player at the same time.

If there was still a lot of controversy about the honors won by the Timberwolves players last season, but this season's harvest for the Timberwolves, the outside comments are more in four words, it is well deserved.

Whether it's Oden or Middleton, or the rookies LaVindinwiddie and Grant, or Sims who replaced Yi Jianlian's injury, their performance in the regular season this season is obvious to all.

Especially Sims, the undrafted pick in 2012, from the undrafted pick to the best defensive first team, this jump in the limelight even surpassed Oden and others.

You must know that Davis, the No. 2012 pick in the [-] draft, was only selected to the second team of the best defense.

For a while Sims became a model of inspiration in the NBA.

Sims' contract was a 2-year basic salary at the time, and there was no guaranteed contract. It would have expired this summer. This also made many teams focus on Sims.

It's a pity that the Timberwolves responded very quickly. Before the major teams had time to reach out, it was very easy for Sims to complete a four-year contract worth 5000 million.

But now that the league's announcement came out, the Timberwolves once again became the biggest winner. You must know that those who have been taken advantage of outside will not say 5000 million in four years, and some people are even willing to give 8000 million in four years.

But Sims is not without temptation, but he is very determined to renew his contract with the Timberwolves.
