It's the god of death

Chapter 182 Timberwolves winning time!

"How, how could this be?"

While the Minnesota fans celebrated the team's sweep and promotion, Popovich, who was far away in Dallas, watched the news of the Timberwolves' sweep and promotion in a daze.

This Nima is unreasonable. In his plan, the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies can play at least five games, and then the Spurs will have some advantages in terms of physical strength in the second round of the Western Conference semifinals.

Who knew that the grizzly was beaten into a puppy?
As analyzed by the outside media, the Timberwolves are actually Popovich's chosen second-round opponent.

At the end of the season, after studying the record table, Popovich looked at the second-ranked Lakers and the first-ranked Timberwolves, and after thinking about it, he decided to meet the Timberwolves in the second round.

After all, that big shark and that Peter Pan are getting more and more excited when they get to the playoffs.

In comparison, Timberwolves' Garnett's performance in the playoffs will be worse, and the madman has not proved himself. As for Ye Ying, a rookie with no playoff experience, he may become soft-footed. shrimp.

Therefore, under Popovich's operation, the Spurs took crazy rotations for a period of time before the end of the season, lost reasonably, and then successfully dropped to fourth in the West.

Everything is under Popovich's control.

It was only after the first round that Popovich found that the story began to twist.

Completely different from Popovich's expectations, Ye Ying's performance was a bit too good-as for Madman and Garnett's slightly improved performance, it was normal in Popovich's eyes.

要知道，第一轮系列赛下来，叶赢的数据从常规赛的场均20.7分、4.7个篮板、9.0次助攻、1.5个盖帽、1.7次抢断，和3.7次失误提升到了26.8分、7.1个篮板、5.0次助攻、1.1个盖帽、1.4次抢断，和1.3次失误。

Not to mention the skyrocketing rebounds and sharply decreasing turnovers, Ye Ying's hurricane scoring alone blinded Popovich's eyes.

To be honest, it's not that Popovich looks down on Ye Ying, but that the vast majority of players have reached the playoffs with much stronger confrontation, and it would be good if they can maintain their regular season data, such as Garnett.

It is normal for many players to pull their hips when they have more targeted playoff data. For example, Guagua and Gasol, the head of the Grizzlies, who are being abused by Kobe and O'Neal this season.

What he was referring to... That pervert Ye Ying actually increased his score by more than 6 points!

It's outrageous!
Even considering that Ye Ying played a little more time in the playoffs and his offensive role was stronger, but this improvement is too outrageous.

You must know that the Grizzlies' style of play is very traditional, that is, slow-paced and defensive.

Facing such a team, playing Ye Ying's stats is even more outrageous!
Thinking of this, Popovich couldn't help but help his forehead.

Did he pick the wrong opponent?

……

April 4, Denver Pepsi Center Arena.

Guagua with his hips on his hips looked at the Lakers players who celebrated their sweep and promotion, wanting to cry without tears.

Especially looking at Kobe who locked him up for the entire series as if he had taken gunpowder, there was a trace of complaint in his eyes.

I'm just a child, is it necessary to be so ruthless?

This is not over yet, and Guagua, who was interviewed by the media after the game, wanted to die even more.

"What do you think of the team being swept?"

"You ranked first in the team in scoring in the regular season but only ranked fourth in points per game in this round of the series. What do you think of it being turned into a cancer by the outside world?"

"Your team's backup point guard, Earl Boykins, who is 1 meters tall, averages more points per game than you, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Guagua wanted to hit someone.

Look, is this a human question?
In fact, this is the usual method of journalists.

How can there be some explosive news without stirring up your emotions?

This is not over yet, the most angry is a reporter asked:
"Cameron, your friend Ye led the team to be swept and advanced, and you led the team to be swept, and his scoring average is more than twice that of yours. Do you admit that you are not as good as him?"

In front of the TV, Ah King couldn't help laughing out loud after seeing this scene.

Looking at it this way, it may be a good thing that he didn't make the playoffs!

Look at Agua, how miserable it is!

Then think about the Pacers who have swept the Celtics, James also has a little heart palpitations.

If they make it to the playoffs, it is likely that they are the Cavaliers who are swept away now, right?

At that time, he may also be roasted on the fire like Agua.

James, who was full of imagination, was quickly pulled back to the TV by a reporter's question.

"Cameron, your performance in the playoffs is so bad, do you think you still have a chance to win the best rookie?"

Anthony, who was asked the question, was stunned. He was busy preparing for the game recently, and he forgot that the selection of the best rookie has come to an end.

After thinking about Ye Ying, who spoke well of him in front of the media, and James, who often chatted with him in private and called him a 'good brother', Guagua replied,
"I thought LeBron was doing great,"

King, in front of the TV, had a happy expression on his face. The calls he made to Guagua after the Rookie Challenge were not in vain.

"However, Ye deserves a best rookie trophy!"

Classmate Ah King:? ? ?
I treat you like a good brother, you fucking stab me in the back!

Anthony: Sorry, I just want to fuck you, Ye is my brother!

……

Just when A King lamented that he was not a good person, the results of the NBA 2003-04 season's major awards were announced one by one.

The first to be announced is the best sixth man.

The Mavericks' Antawn Jamison averaged 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game over Al Harrington of the Pacers and Manu Ginobili of the Spurs.

Speaking of which, the competition for this award is very fierce, and the votes of these three people are very close. In the end, Jamison, who has the best statistics, has the last laugh.

It is difficult to measure performance and contribution to the team. At this time, data becomes very important!

Most Improved Player was won by Blazers power forward Zach Randolph, who averaged nearly 12 points and 6 rebounds per game.

From 8.4 points and 4.5 rebounds to 20.1 points and 10.5 rebounds, Randolph directly completed the transformation from a role player to a star player.

Next, it's the Timberwolves' award-winning time, which has sprung up this season!

First, the best general manager was won by McHale.

In last year's draft, McHale used two starters as the main body to trade Ye Ying. The incident has been repeatedly mentioned by the media.

At that time, in their eyes, this was a gamble with a low probability of winning.

But now, Ye Ying has brought a huge boost in popularity and strength to the Timberwolves!
This proves how correct McHale's choice was!

In addition, the operation of McHale's trading to Madman also aroused the praise of many media people.

McHale's strength and luck are unavoidable for being able to play a dead game like the Timberwolves alive.

McHale, who received this award, was very happy to share his joy with everyone.

"It's an honor for the Timberwolves as a team, not just me.

Everyone has worked hard for this - we are patient, following the right plan, and moving towards a common goal.

I'm really, really proud of what the players, coaches and team have accomplished this season! "

Then the official announced the winners of the 2003-04 season's best head coach award, Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders head coach was successfully elected.

This season, the Timberwolves have achieved the best record in the league under the leadership of Sanders, and he definitely deserves this award.

At this time, not all Timberwolves fans were happy, especially those old fans.

They know very well that if the league gives the Timberwolves many awards from the beginning, it means that Ye Ying's Rookie Award and Garnett's MVP are very dangerous...
