Chapter 612 Second Round Premiere
For the teams that have entered the second round, the beginning of May is an important start for them to compete for the semi-finals!
On May [-]nd, with the start of the Eastern Hornets vs. Heat and Spurs vs. Lakers games, further tense battles directly attracted a large number of fans to rush into the home courts of each team!
In this day's game, the confrontation between the Hornets and the Heat was slightly insufficient in the matchup between the Western Spurs and the Lakers.

Even so, when the game between the Heat and the Hornets started, the Charlotte ball market, which was somewhat dull, ushered in the first round of the game at home, and the fans in the stands still reached the highest full state !
In this game, the Hornets at home, under the leadership of Davis and PJ Brown, finally defeated the Heat, which was officially rebuilding, 89:83!
In such a game, Wade's performance made everyone see his powerful talent!

In the whole game, Wade not only scored a game-high 27 points, but his 17-of-10 shooting percentage, 6 assists and 7 rebounds in the game really made Pat Lai, who was still a little depressed, Loyal Leigh and Heat fans rejoice!

Except for Wade's strong performance, Eddie Jones, who was originally trained as the core of the team, finally used his 23 points to let the fans see his recovery!

Of course, Brian Grant, who was originally entrusted with the Heat, really frustrated Riley and the Heat fans!

In another game, the game between the Lakers and the Spurs was once a tie!

However, as Bosh and Carter broke out with great strength one after another, the Spurs directly established the tone of their team's victory in the last quarter!
In the end, in this battle of focus, Bosh's performance and Carter's super scoring ability made the Spurs finally beat the Lakers at home with a score of 88:79!

After the end of the first day of games in May, the Warriors, who had been resting for a long time, finally ushered in the Timberwolves led by Garnett and others on the [-]th!
In the confrontation between the two teams in the regular season, the Warriors were better than the Timberwolves in terms of tactics and victory, even though they played a very surprising performance this season!
However, in the highly competitive playoffs, the Timberwolves' powerful offense will most likely be eliminated by the Warriors' good defense!

Of course, although the Warriors are stronger than them in all aspects, after all, this is the playoffs that may capsize in the gutter at any time, and the Warriors are not guaranteed to suffer a big loss from the Timberwolves!

Inside the Rockefeller Center, all the players of the Warriors are making final preparations before tonight's game. Judging from their sweaty appearance, it is obvious that they are very serious about this game!

Standing outside the court in the training hall, Bruce watched the court calmly, watching the players tirelessly running on the court, and he couldn't help but have great confidence in the next round of the series!
Apart from the competition, Charlize Theron was also feeling increasingly anxious, waiting a little anxiously for the upcoming labor period in one month!

After the training of the players on the court was over, Bruce only had time to say hello to them, and then left the arena very quickly. At this moment, Charlize Theron is obviously more important than a series !
In the evening, after the Timberwolves players rushed to the home court of the Warriors by bus, fans also entered the arena during their warm-up!
In this game, Barkley and his old partner Kenny Smith are still the commentators. Their combination, after more than half a season of running-in, has obviously become the top combination of TNT!
"Aha, welcome to this familiar arena, I am your old friend, Kenny Smith!"

"I'm the guy you're looking forward to the most, Charles Barkley!"

After the two introduced themselves to the fans and audience present, the first to speak was obviously Kenny Smith, who had a very funny personality and tone.

"I don't know why, after I came to this arena, I couldn't help but search for a figure, but tonight I couldn't see that familiar figure appearing on the court. What happened in his life? Is there a problem???"

Kenny Smith stared at the only empty seat behind the Warriors dugout, with a trace of doubt on his face, he couldn't help but say this!
"Yes, tonight will be a very important game for the Warriors. If they can finally win the Timberwolves in this game, they will have a great chance of winning in the entire series. , and now without the presence of Bruce, I wonder if these guys will experience some emotional surprises and discomfort?" Barkley also followed Kenny Smith's gaze, and after some analysis, he also Like Smith, he couldn't help showing a trace of doubt.

However, when a staff member went to inquire about the latest news under the instructions of the two, the news they finally got made the two of them smile and congratulate each other!

"Wow, I can't wait to see the love between Bruce and Charlize!!"

"Haha, let us wish them well. After all, a series is obviously not as important as welcoming the arrival of a little guy!"

As the two started discussing, the fans at the scene started discussing with their friends after hearing the news. Everyone silently blessed and prayed for the little guy who was about to be born!

Afterwards, when the players of both sides came out of the player tunnel one after another, amidst the cheers of a large number of fans present, they immediately started a simple warm-up before the game!
In the comparison of the lineups of the two teams, whether the Warriors are inside or outside, their ability is stronger than the Timberwolves, especially in the outside lineup, when Sprewell and Cassell are getting old. , Compared with them, Gerald Wallace and Chauncey Billups are steadily on the rise!

"drop!!"

The whistle blew quickly after both sides warmed up. After the players returned to the rest area, under the short and extremely quick arrangement of the head coaches of both sides, amidst the roar of the fans, the main players of both sides walked towards the court one after another!

Irvine Johnson, as the starting center of the Timberwolves, compared with Duncan, this veteran who has been fighting for nearly ten years, really has no advantage at all, if it is not for his efficiency on the defensive end and rebounding In terms of performance, they can still make some contributions. I am afraid that the Timberwolves will not put this center whose data status has declined sharply in the starting lineup!
Now, after the on-duty referee said some precautions, he quickly threw the basketball into the air. Johnson, who was a little lacking in jumping, fell directly in front of Duncan!

Billups quickly grabbed the basketball flying to his side, and then he took a look at Cassel in front of him, and ran directly to the front court with the ball!
"Aha, the game has finally started, let's see who their starting players are!"

The Warriors still use their usual main configuration, and after the Timberwolves put Johnson in the starting lineup, their remaining four positions are power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Trenton Hassel , shooting guard Latrell Sprewell and point guard Sam Cassell.

Judging from the configuration of the two sides, the starting lineup of the Timberwolves, except Garnett and Cassel, who are at their peak, even Sprewell's performance seems a bit insufficient.

And the Warriors, with the twin towers on the inside, still have Billups and Kirilenko with top-level organizations on the outside!
"Hehe, to be honest, I really don't know how the Timberwolves' lineup will enter the final second round. Isn't their performance in the regular season not worth it?" Barkley finished analyzing the player comparison of the two sides. After that, there was a trace of weirdness on his face, and he couldn't help but said!
"Hehe, if there is no KG, I'm afraid this team will quickly become a second-rate team!" Kenny Smith's words can be described as a burst of blood!
During this season, Garnett has completely unleashed all of his potential. Regardless of his sharp performance on the offensive end or on the defensive end, his abilities have reached the top of the league.

In the regular season, Garnett, with his super performance, not only in the previous selection of MVP, finally became his pocket, just say that he averaged 24 points per game. 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals data, all of which are beyond the reach of a large number of players!

On the court, as Duncan skillfully used his post-up singles to score the first goal for the Warriors, looking back, the Timberwolves really handed over the basketball to Garnett who was standing in a high position!
Nowitzki stared closely at Garnett, who held the ball in both hands and stared at his teammates. He didn't dare to relax in the slightest in defending this guy!

"Hey, Dirk, do you know what method I will use to complete this attack?" Garnett first took a picture after seeing the running positions of his teammates and after the teammates opened up space for him. He said something provocatively to Nowitzki, and then at the moment when the opponent cautiously opened his arms and approached him, with his speed not inferior to that of ordinary small forwards, he directly started his breakthrough!

"boom!!!"

Nowitzki relied on his experience in the previous seasons, when Garnett broke through, he took a step across, trying to block the opponent's pace!
However, Garnett, who is very versatile, suddenly stopped his footsteps when Nowitzki was about to get close to him. , ended this attack with a smooth mid-range shot!

"Dude, look at my moves!!"

Garnett patted his hands vigorously with excitement on his face. No matter when, as long as he stands on the court, he will always be the passionate "Wolf King".
