Super Heavy Artillery

In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, thunder easily beat the Timberwolves from afar. 109-101, from the score point of view, they won not much. But in the last quarter, Donovan didn't let his main players play too long. After all, in the second half of the third quarter, thunderbolt all out, directly destroyed the Timberwolves' hope of winning.

Thunder, which won the first battle, is naturally quite happy. Winning is a joy at any time, not to mention in the playoffs.

Donovan did not praise his players at the post match press conference. In his eyes, thunder beat Timberwolves is a matter of course. But in the first half of the third quarter, they almost capsized. It made him feel a bit inappropriate. After all, he didn't blame the players for the victory.

Westbrook is not so modest!

"We did what we had to do! Although the Timberwolves are strong, we have done better. Throughout the game, we have been aggressive on the court. Especially on the defensive side, we put a lot of pressure on the other side. They made a lot of mistakes and gave us a chance to fight back. It's important that we take those opportunities and turn them into points

When he was asked about this year's goal again, Westbrook was also very straightforward: "the championship has always been our pursuit. This has not changed before or now. We missed it, but now, it's time

By contrast, ANLO and Paul George are much more modest. They all summed up the game and praised the Timberwolves players. ANLO, in particular, is boasting of Butler's defense.

Different from the happy atmosphere of thunder, the Timberwolves are somewhat depressed. In the face of a reporter's verbal war, sibodu was able to cope with it. But Butler and Downes couldn't do that. The former is not happy, this game he has tried his best. In Robertson's defense, butler or cut 21 points, and in his defense, Anluo's shooting rate also dropped. In particular, the three-point shot, from more than 50% of the regular season hit rate dropped to the lowest 45%. If it wasn't for the bracelet, it might be even lower. But he is also a strong star, not a superstar. Thunder in front of these three wolf like guys, can only be willing to bow down. Of course, more importantly, except Downes, the Timberwolves' other players have given him too little help. Wiggins in particular, this game he played a total of 36 minutes, but only handed over 9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and there are 6 mistakes. It's not all due to the defense of Paul George and thunder. Wiggins doesn't have a strong desire to attack. The whole game, he also only shot 10 times! Lower than Gibson!

Unlike Butler, Downes was more constrained. After all, it is the first time to play in the playoffs. Although he has performed well, as the core of the Timberwolves, his performance is not particularly qualified.

"We didn't play very well! A lot of mistakes, give the other side a lot of easy scoring opportunities. But we only lost eight points in the end. Next game, we will play better! Next, we have to stay focused. Control their own mistakes, seize the opportunity, play their own rhythm. Thunder is not invincible

There's no basis for that. However, the attitude should have been expressed.

Two days later, the two sides met again at the Chesapeake energy arena for the second game of the series.

No matter thunder or Timberwolves, they have continued their previous lineup. Thunder, as a winner, has nothing to say. The Timberwolves, however, were surprised to believe in Wiggins. After all, in the last game, biercer, who came on the bench, played very well. It can be seen that sibodu still believes in Wiggins.

Unfortunately, this game, Wiggins still continued the downturn of the last game. Not only his own downturn, with the Timberwolves, the entire starting lineup has been depressed. It wasn't Wiggins's pot, of course, but the spearhead was on him.

In fact, the Timberwolves had the upper hand in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the game, Anluo got a shot at the top of the arc. Naturally, he grasped it, but it was a shot of iron. For the next three minutes, he didn't make a shot, and Oklahoma didn't make a shot. The Timberwolves took advantage of this opportunity to play a 7:0 small climax. Oklahoma's bad hand continued into the second quarter, but their defense was still there. Relying on Robertson, Paul George and ANLO three people to build the defense system, so that the Timberwolves missed the opportunity to open the score.

However, in this case, the Timberwolves at the end of the first quarter, or 24:18 ahead of the thunder 6 points. Beliza, who played an excellent role in the last game, came out of the bench for 5 minutes and scored 8 points in a row.

In the second half of the second section, great changes have taken place in the situation.

After resting for nearly 10 minutes, ANLO returned to play and became the arrowhead to defeat the Timberwolves. After he came on the court, he scored the first three-point goal of the game at the top of the arc.The ball was actually overlooked by Butler. He defended ANLO well in the first quarter. In the seven minutes of ANLO's appearance, Butler only allowed him to throw a middle distance. But then he came back on the offensive end. It's a pull. It's downer. It's a layup. It's a backhand. But the goal became the Timberwolves' second goal in more than six minutes left in the second quarter.

ANLO then caught the ball at the top of the arc, and this time Butler put it up, but Adams did. Under the cover of the latter, Anluo took a step forward to the right, then took off to hit. ANLO's performance was just beginning, and then he made two three-point shots outside the three-point line. In addition, under the leadership of Anluo, cavalry company commander brewer also launched a disaster outside the three-point line. Combined with Westbrook's sudden cold arrow, thunder in the second half of the second quarter into six three-point ball, hit a wave of 19:4 attack wave, the score will exceed, and obtained a double-digit lead.

In fact, siebodou called a pause after ANLO scored the third three-point. But that did not help the Timberwolves to stabilize the situation, thunder a three minute rain, drenched the Timberwolves a thorough cold.
