Chapter 331 It’s because of a good attitude of admitting mistakes‖

The first game of the Western Conference Finals ended with the victory of the Timberwolves. Kevin Garnett scored a game-high 36 points and 18 rebounds. Bai Jidong scored 33 points and a game-high 14 assists and 4 steals. For the Spurs, Duncan steadily scored 28 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. Such statistics were not enough to lead the team to victory;

"How does Manu feel when he makes a mistake?" Popovich showed his usual cold humor: "Before he made a mistake, I wanted to give him a goodnight kiss. Now I just want to trade him. Unfortunately, the trade deadline has passed , we can only make do with it and continue to use him.”

"Is that mistake the key factor in the loss?" The reporter kept pestering the mistake.

"That's just one of the reasons. We made a lot of mistakes in the whole game. If we can reduce the mistakes, the game will not be delayed until that time. So, that mistake is just a mistake at a critical moment, but it is not a mistake that decides the game. " After joking, Popovich defended the players, "Everyone makes mistakes, players are not gods, they all make mistakes."

"The first game! The first game!" In the locker room, Olowokandi took the lead in booing.

Those who didn't know thought that the Timberwolves had already won the championship. Bai Jidong raised his kick and kicked him on the buttocks, "Don't be shy, the coach will scold you again later."

"Philip is a good man, he doesn't know how to curse." Olowokandi thought he knew Sanders well.

Bai Jidong said: "It's not like you haven't seen Philip scolding people before. It's better to be scolded by someone who looks like you owe him 500 million than to be scolded by someone who looks like he owes you 500 million."

"If I had to choose, I would choose someone who owed me 500 million yuan." Olowokandi said without ambition.

Old Willis said: "Your idea is very dangerous. Who taught you?" "No one taught me. I thought of it myself." Olowokandi said.

Garnett said: "This is not the first time we have won in the Western Conference Finals. This is just the first game. To enter the Finals, we have to win three games."

"We will definitely enter the finals, San Antonio is not our opponent!" Olowokandi's self-confidence has swelled to the limit.

Two days later, Game [-] took place as scheduled at Target Center.

The Spurs took the lead as soon as they came up. The mistakes in the last game did not affect Ginobili's performance. He and Parker jointly dominated the first quarter of the game.

Just when people thought that the Spurs would take the initiative, the entire Timberwolves team said to the Spurs: "NO!"

First, Battier scored two three-pointers in a row.

Ginobili shot a cold arrow and missed a three-pointer. Hardaway took the rebound and dribbled the ball alone to the frontcourt to chase the three-pointer and then hit the three-pointer.

So far, the score is flat, but the Timberwolves' three-point rain has just begun.

"San Antonio's defense is good. They controlled Minnesota's offense very well in this round. Now they only need to maintain the current defensive strength for five seconds, as long as five seconds." As soon as the commentary was finished, Olowokandi rushed out Help Bai Jidong block people.

Bai Jidong rushed in, very fast, and Duncan's replacement was even faster. His position was tricky and sophisticated, making it hard for people to find any gaps.

Even if Bai Jidong has mastered all the skills in the world to put the ball into the basket, he still can't shoot in such a dead corner.

For this, he can only pass the ball.

The ball was not passed well, and the person who caught the ball was Olowokandi.

The only player on the Timberwolves field who does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Olowokandi has no time to throw the ball (pot) to others and can only handle it by himself.

"Shh!"

This is a portrayal of the Timberwolves' game in this quarter. No matter who it is, there are three-pointers, including Olowokandi, who has never shot a three-pointer in his entire career, scored a three-pointer.

The Spurs were completely confused. They didn't know who to focus on defending, because everyone in the Timberwolves had a three-point threat.

Popovich called a timeout to rearrange the tactics on the field, thinking that maybe he could use this timeout to disrupt the Timberwolves' shooting touch.

Popovich's idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

After Olowokandi and Garnett, Bai Jidong let go of his hands and feet and scored five three-pointers in a row.

The point difference was immediately widened to 18 points, and the eyes of the Spurs players became blurred, as if they were not playing against the Timberwolves, but the Suns, who had already been eliminated by them, played as fast and elegant as a whirlwind.

However, the sun was indeed eliminated by them.

The Timberwolves who played against them showed more terrifying offensive power than the Suns in the second quarter.

They scored 43 points in a single quarter in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the Spurs trailed their opponents by a full 20 points.

This is the playoffs?How could two teams known for their defense score like this?

Popovich looked at the stats in disbelief. The Timberwolves made twelve [-]-pointers in the second quarter.

The Spurs couldn't stop the Timberwolves' aggressive offensive. Only halfway through the third quarter, the game lost its suspense.

The Spurs said that the defeat was like a mountain, and the game lost its suspense.

This game is so abnormal.The biggest threat to the Timberwolves is no longer Bai Jidong and Garnett, but those role players who make three-pointers as easy as drinking water.

"Don't ask me how I lost. If you allow your opponent to score 130 points in the playoffs, it will not be surprising to lose." Popovich said helplessly: "Fortunately, this is a series. There is an opportunity to adjust, and I hope we can find our own rhythm when we return to the home court."

"How is Bruce's injury?" Some people think that the Timberwolves' outbreak is due to Bowen's absence.

Popovich said: "Bruce's injury is almost healed, and he will come back in Game3."

"Will losing two games in a row lower the morale of the team?" The reporter's questions became more and more difficult to deal with.

Popovich replied with a rare patience: "After the playoffs, it is very common for the team to lose two games first, and it is not uncommon for the team to come from behind after losing two games first. I don't think this can do anything to our morale. Impact, Minnesota is playing well, so see you in San Antonio."

"If even Michael Olowokandi can make a three-pointer, then this victory is the will of the basketball god." Bai Jidong described the victory, "You know, Olo has been in the NBA since he entered the NBA. Never made a [-], didn't make a single shot tonight was the first of his career and he made it and that lifted our spirits and I think that's what we did from the second quarter to the end of the game spiritual pillar."

Olowokandi was less humble. "I think I have the talent to be a shooter. Everyone expects me to catch all the rebounds and block all the balls. No one ever said to me, hey, Michael, why don't you try to shoot? No one, so, I may develop in the direction of a big shooter in the future."

As soon as Olowokandi finished speaking, Sanders said: "If Michael really becomes a big pitcher, then I will suggest to the team to trade him as soon as possible."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Olowokandi also kept laughing, and the whole press conference was filled with joy.

Chu Meng waited in the player tunnel until Bai Jidong asked, "Is your shooting rate 100% tonight?"

"To be exact, it's 100% three-point shooting." Bai Jidong said, "Why do you suddenly care about this?"

"I made a bet with Brandy." (Garnett's wife) Chu Meng's words almost made Bai Weidong fall.

Bai Jidong looked at Chu Meng in surprise, "Bet? Are you betting with someone?"

"Oh!" Chu Meng nodded in confirmation.

Bai Jidong touched Chu Meng's forehead, "It's strange, you don't have a fever, does it mean that your fever is not on your forehead, but on your chest? Let me touch it."

"Don't make trouble!" Chu Meng slapped Bai Jidong's salty hands, "I bet Brandy that you will end the game with a 100% shooting percentage tonight."

"Then you lost, I remember I missed a shot." Bai Jidong said.

"What's the bet?" Bai Jidong asked.

"There is no bet. Do you have to have a bet?" Chu Meng said so much that Bai Jidong didn't know where to start, "Do you want to eat or not?"

"Yes."

"So, how can there be no bets in betting? You women are really weird." Bai Jidong couldn't understand what they were doing at all.

Bai Jidong opened the door, and the joy of winning disappeared.

Goodbye and Hei Lang came out to meet him at the same time, Hei Lang still had a bitten torn slipper in his mouth, and the corners of Goodbye's mouth were full of oil stains, obviously he ate something.

Bai Jidong's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, "I won't teach you two bad dogs today, I will read my name upside down!"

"Winter is white is very pleasant to hear," Chu Meng said.

"Don't make trouble!" Bai Jidong laughed.

Bai Jidong's so-called "lesson" was just to punish the two dogs for putting things on their heads.

Bai Jidong sat in front of them and ate a sandwich, "Take it on for 10 minutes, don't fall off, and whoever falls off will have double the time!"

As soon as the words fell, the "Les Miserables" on Hei Lang's head fell off.

Bai Jidong's face was stiff, "Hei Lang, do you want to die?"

"Wuwu~~" Heilang lay down on all fours, with a pitiful expression of "If you want to kill or cut, please don't torture me like this".

Bai Jidong said to himself countless times, if it weren't for this mangy dog's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he would have slaughtered it for dog meat hot pot.

"Okay, it's almost over." Chu Menghu stood in front of the dogs and called them out, "It's time for you to rest, too."

"You are so used to them all day long, is it to encourage them to tear down the house?" Bai Jidong asked.

"How can there be a dog who is not naughty?" Chu Meng defended the calf to the end.

Bai Jidong Meizhe: "You just get used to it, these two guys will tear up the house sooner or later."

　Yesterday, the number of chapters was wrong again, just like the data I often get wrong, such as the score of the pig's foot in a single section, the score of the whole audience, I marked it when I edited, but I still forgot to change it , I have been careless since I was a child, and I can't change it now.
　　Finally, today Saturday, the sixth shift, the guarantee of [-] recommendation tickets is less than [-]. Give me some motivation, guys.
