I'm really good at shooting.

Sun Hao was dumbfounded.

This... It's really not his fault!

He has been sitting off the court for a while, his feet are almost numb, this 58 has nothing to do with him!

It can only be said that Garnett is destined to have 58...

Chapter 242 The best rookie in the NBA in the 2001~2002 season!

At the end of the game, the score on the field was fixed at 127 to 69.

Eight Mavericks scored in double figures. Sun Hao and Nowitzki scored 8 and 18 points respectively. Nash performed well and scored 16 points and 16 assists with only 14 turnovers.

For the Timberwolves, Garnett scored 30 points, but apart from him, only Szczerbiak scored in double figures...

At the end of the game, there was no carnival or celebration, only the laughter of the fans.

In this game, there is no need to cheer or shout to vent your emotions, because the exciting part has already been enjoyed before the game is over.

127 points, the team's highest score in a playoff game since Sun Hao joined the Mavericks.

At the same time, the point difference of 58 points also set a record for the single-game net difference in the NBA playoffs.

In fact, this point difference is only 10 points away from the record of NBA single-game point difference.

Old Nelson didn't want to, but he had already wiped out the Timberwolves.

Although Garnett still steadfastly attended the team's post-match press conference, the always stubborn Wolf King also bowed his head at the press conference.

That kind of atmosphere made reporters dare not mention the word 58.

Because it's really mentioned, Garnett may really jump out of the table and stage a live PK.

However, after the press conference, a reporter said they heard a loud noise from the locker room.

Later, it was said that the fire hydrant in the Timberwolves locker room was smashed.

But true or false, in the era of undeveloped media, there is no real number.

The Timberwolves are desperate, but the Mavericks are extremely relaxed.

And Sun Hao didn't even need to find a reason, and directly forwarded Thomas' signed jersey to Nash.

"Don't say I gave it to you."

But after giving it to Nash, he still didn't forget to remind him.

Otherwise, the fans would have to complain about him later.

The Mavericks are having fun in the locker room here, and the fans on the forum are also in high spirits.

The reporter was afraid of Garnett's presence at the press conference, but the fans would not worry about this in the forum.

"58 is really hammered, this time even if the king of heaven is here, it will be this nickname!"

"If the 58-point loss in the regular season last season was just a joke, then this game really put Garnett in the shit book."

"I don't know what kind of scene it is to watch Garnett enter the Hall of Fame a few years later, but with a history of being scored 58 points in the playoffs!"

"Iron Blood Warning!"

"5...58 punch warning?"

"After this game, I think the Mavericks will have a battle against the Lakers' capital!"

"Don't be funny, you can see the level of abuse? The Lakers also play against the Sonics. The OK combination in the playoffs mode is unsolvable."

"You can only know if you can play, and the Kings and Spurs are not weak this season. Whether the two teams can meet is unknown."

"Starting to discuss the Western Conference Finals so soon? We only played one game in the playoffs! Believe me, the Wolf King will lead the team to rebound strongly!"

……

There are still rational fans in the forum.

Although they won by 58 points, the Mavericks only led 1-0 on a big score.

In the series, from the point of view of big score, there is no difference between winning 58 points and winning 1 point.

However, the reality is that winning 58 points and winning 1 point will have completely different impacts on the mentality of the two teams.

Like last year, the first round of this year's playoffs is best-of-five.

Game [-] of the series kicks off in Minnesota.

There were no fires in Minnesota in this day and age.

But Timberwolves fans couldn't breathe after Game [-].

Because even if the Timberwolves play at home, they will lose what they rely on most in the season, fighting spirit.

The wolves without fighting spirit can only be slaughtered by hunters.

90 to 108, the Timberwolves lost a lot less momentum than the previous game.

But scores, like statistics, can sometimes be deceiving.

The Timberwolves' defense this time is significantly worse than the previous game.

The low score in the end was entirely because the Mavericks didn't feel as good as the first game.

But anyone who has watched the game knows that after the 58-point rout in Game [-], the series is over.

Sun Hao's strategy before the series worked perfectly.

Wait until they return to Dallas to play Game [-].

After another big victory of nearly 20 points, the Mavericks swept the Timberwolves 3-0 and easily advanced to the second round.

It's easy, it's really easy.

Before the start of the playoffs, even professional experts could not predict this score.

Not to mention the three games, the Mavericks' average point difference reached 30+.

But the result is that, strategy, is more effective than tactics.

At the press conference after the last game, Garnett attended with Sanders.

His expression didn't look particularly depressed, but on the contrary gave off a feeling of relief.

The 58-point loss in the first game put him under too much pressure.

As a result, when it was finally confirmed that he was out, he relieved the pressure instead.

When talking about the next season, he also regained the style of the wolf king.

"I'll be back!"

His tone was as hard as iron.

This sentence was also quoted by the media later.

There is no shortage of old enemies in the NBA, and successful revenge will also be regarded as a classic.

Garnett has that strength.

However, Sun Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw the news.

Because he is too familiar with these words.

In a certain banned manga, Big Big Wolf, who was beaten into the air, would say this every episode.

Moreover, Timberwolves, Wolf King, Big Big Wolf.

This is so vivid!

Of course, the first round is over, and Sun Hao didn't pay attention to Garnett and his Timberwolves anymore.

He began to pay attention to the situation of other group series.

In the East, the Celtics and Pistons all won 3-1.

This result was expected, but McGrady was a bit tragic, falling in the first round for two consecutive years.

The remaining two groups are somewhat unexpected.

Both the Nets and Wizards swept their opponents 3-0.

It's normal for the Nets. After all, Carter didn't play for the Raptors and belongs to the disabled team.

But the Wizards' opponent is the 76ers!The defending champions of the Eastern Conference last season!

The 76ers retained the lineup from last season, and added so much in the summer.

But the result is that they were swept away.

There are many reasons for this result.

The defense team Iverson's restrictions are greater than expected, especially after the whistleblowing scale was loosened in the playoffs, Iverson was brought down without a whistle frequently happened;

The team's starting point guard, Snow, was in a sluggish state, with a shooting percentage of just over 30%;

and many more.

Of course, the most important point is that the Wizards are really much stronger than expected.

Yao Ming's growth was much greater than expected, and he did not fall behind in the matchup with Mutombo.

Coupled with the presence of Mobley and Hardaway, Jordan's regular time pressure has been greatly relieved.

Then, there is Jordan's old rogue harvest at critical moments.

In the three games of the first round of the series, Jordan's scoring average was not much, averaging only 27 points per game, which was more than 2 points more than his regular season scoring.

But among the 27 points, nearly 12 points were scored in the last quarter!

This is the crux of the matter!

Although he suffered an injury truce as in history, but under a different lineup, Jordan has found the most suitable style of play for him.

What is an old rascal?

This is the old rascal!

After Sun Hao finished watching the video, he couldn't help feeling that he was about to become Qiao Chui.

For a 39-year-old veteran to play like this, there is really no second person in history.

And as a traveler, he can open his eyes in many other places, but he can only watch quietly when things don't happen.

Judging from the opponents and the performance of the series, as long as Jordan is not injured, this Wizards team has a high probability of breaking through the East.

Even, as he thought before, winning the championship is not impossible.

6 out of 6.

In the West, the Lakers swept the Sonics 3-0.

In this year in history, the Sonics lost in a five-game tiebreaker with the Spurs, but...

As the fans said in the forum, the Lakers in the playoffs and the Lakers in the regular season are not the same team. The OK combination is very scary when they play seriously.

The remaining two groups faced each other, the Kings 3-1 Jazz, the Spurs 3-1 Trail Blazers.

In this way, the second round of the Eastern and Western Conference is also released.

Eastern Celtics play Pistons, Nets Wizards;

The Kings of the West played the Lakers, and the Mavericks met the Spurs.

It's not that friends don't get together. If the first round is from the perspective of the Timberwolves' revenge, then in the second round, it will be from the perspective of the Mavericks.

This Spurs team is not the strongest Spurs team, because the two future Spurs stars Parker and Ginobili are still rookies.

But this Spurs is definitely stronger than the same year in history.

Because of Ginobili, he arrived at the Spurs a year early.

Although the Mavericks won the Spurs by a big score for the first time at the beginning of the season.

But as Popovich said after that game, he began to pay attention to three-pointers.

Although three-pointers cannot be practiced in one season, the strength of the Spurs has grown visible to the naked eye.
