The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 517 Accident
In the third game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves returned to the home court and finally played an efficient game.

If Curry doesn't fight, the Warriors still lack a guarantee.

Although Durant is still unstoppable, it is difficult for a player in the current league to kill a team.

Klay Thompson's failure to continue to be efficient is an important reason, but the most important thing is that the Timberwolves finally played an offense that can make fans cheer.

The four strong points of the Timberwolves, including Rose on the bench, all played well. If they can play more games like this, the West will be even more chaotic.

Of course, this is a bit difficult for them. The current situation of the Timberwolves is very similar to that of the Thunder. The team has not fully allowed the players to bring out their strengths.

Teague believes that Jimmy Butler's performance inspired everyone, and this is the effort the team needs.

"Yeah, Butler gave it his all," Teague said. "He's a great player. He's the heart and soul of the team. When he's competitive on the floor, it inspires everyone. , the atmosphere of the game was great and that's what we need to work on."

There is no doubt that the current league is the best era for strikers.

The game between the Trail Blazers and the Pelicans was the first group to end.

The Pelicans played an unsolvable offense and swept the Blazers 4:0.

In the final battle, the Blazers did not play badly, especially CJ McCrum scored 38 points.

All five main players scored in double figures, and the Blazers have shown their strength on the offensive end.

However, on the Pelicans' side, Anthony Davis scored 47 points and Jrue Holiday scored 41 points. There are still two other super gods.

At the same time, it also shows that the Blazers' defense is really not good. The opponent's 40+ alone can be said to be superior in strength. Both of them scored so many points. It must be a problem with the defense.

Holiday said after the game: "This is us, this is what we do. We have been like this throughout the season. When someone goes down and someone gets hurt, we will have someone to stand up. Everyone did their job. But we're still hungry, and we're not stopping. Whatever the team needs from me, I'm going to be there."

The Pelicans swept through to advance, and Zhang Xiaotian did not practice Tai Chi when facing reporters, "I look forward to the duel with them."

At this time, the Spurs had not yet advanced, and his remarks made Thunder fans angry.

Zhang Xiaotian's fans were also fans of Thunderclap on the Internet, and the battle was very lively, but the instigator didn't care about this aspect at all at this time.

Zhang Xiaotian just entered into the training very meticulously to maintain a good physical condition.

Other times, he will be with his family.

Originally, the playoffs in the Western Conference were strong and weak. Everyone thought that there would be a few sweeps in the first round. Among them, there was no Pelicans group. Even because of Cousins' injury, they were not favored.

Now apart from the Pelicans, only the Spurs lead their opponents 3:0. Whether they will sweep the Thunder has become an important point of view in the playoffs.

The Thunder, who had already lost their spirits, were also stimulated, and the players gritted their teeth not wanting to be swept away.

Zhang Xiaotian was also teased, saying that he would be boosted by Donovan.

In the East, the Heat played well in the first three quarters, but were reversed by the 76ers in the fourth quarter.

This time Wade returned to the top again, and scored in double figures in the final quarter, which is completely a core-level performance.

But in front of the talented 76ers, the Heat can only feel powerless.

In the last quarter, the 76ers improved their defense level, and Embiid sent three blocks in a single quarter.

In other words, when Embiid returns, even if the 76ers have the surprise of Wade returning to the top, they will not be able to beat the 76ers.

In terms of normal strength, there is a gap between the two teams.

Before the game, you can also expect the recruits to play abnormally in the playoffs, but it seems that it does not exist now.

To be honest, the Heat have reached their limit, not only Wade, but their use of Whiteside is much better than before, but it's nothing.

The other three groups in the East are representatives of entanglement.

After four quarters of fierce fighting between the Celtics and the Bucks, they were killed by the Bucks.

The main lineup was changed, and Jabari Parker stood up on the bench again. The Bucks now seem to have the possibility of becoming a dark horse. The Celtics really don't have a player of Antetokounmpo's level now.

However, the outcome of the two sides still depends on the details and the performance of the stars at critical moments. Antetokounmpo has strengths and weaknesses, and the Bucks must make good use of him.

And the Celtics will definitely make adjustments, and this group will look good for neutral fans.

In terms of the team, Coach Stevens is better.

The group of Raptors and Wizards also scored 2:2.

This game is also very good to watch, two guns against two guns, a standard battle of points.

The Raptors played better in the first half, leading by double digits and ostensibly in control.

But in the second half, the Wizards broke out with a strong combat effectiveness.

They got back the score in just one quarter, and at the end of the crucial fourth quarter, Wall shined in the audience and abruptly helped the team win.

But the critical moment was unstable, and Lowry and DeRozan swallowed the bitter fruit of losing again.

The super performance of the Wizards' double guns made fans see the possibility of black eight.

The Raptors coach had to sigh after the game, "The Wizards must be praised. They performed very well. They are not ordinary No. 8 seeds."

Since the No. [-] and No. [-] teams in the Eastern Conference have struggled so much, it makes sense that the Cavaliers and Pacers are evenly matched.

The fourth battle between the two teams was also a fierce battle until the fourth quarter. At the last moment, James and Korver overpowered Oladipo and helped the Cavaliers grab a victory.

The Cavaliers' defense has improved in this game, and their restrictions on the Pacers' strengths have some effect.

But the Pacers have played very good team basketball, and have pushed the Cavaliers to the brink of victory and defeat many times.

The Cavaliers can win the game because they have James, and it is obvious that a player of Korver's type is a very good helper for James.

After reusing Korver, the threat of the Cavaliers on the offensive end has become greater.

Both parties will not be satisfied with such a result, especially the Cavaliers. James' teams rarely play so entangled in the first round, and they must change.

The Cavaliers are not people who don't play. The key is what kind of combination can enhance the team's combat effectiveness.

As for the West side, the Rockets won the match point very neatly.

The Jazz is still an old problem, with more than enough defense and not enough offense.

Every quarter was suppressed by the Rockets a little bit, and the possibility of winning was lost step by step.

This style of play is not quite like the Rockets, but a bit like the Spurs.

This shows that the Rockets have become more mature in the playoffs. They no longer only pursue offense, but pursuit victory. Their opponents will suffer even more.
