years ago, the Timberwolves were swept by the Nuggets 1-4. The twin towers of Gobert and Towns became toys in the hands of Jokic. However, after the Nuggets won the championship, they frankly said: The Timberwolves are their biggest opponent on the road to the championship! Time has passed, and the two teams meet again. God's will is there, and everything is the best arrangement! In this game, the Timberwolves ramped up their offensive and defensive intensity at the beginning, destroying the Nuggets' gorgeous system with their fierce defense. At the same time, Huazi continued to score 25 points in the half to prop up the Timberwolves' offense. The two teams were almost evenly matched! Changing sides to fight again, the Nuggets' offense still lacked continuity, but the Timberwolves blossomed inside and outside. Towns, Conley, and Gobert all stepped forward to respond to Murray and Jokic's singles. The suspense of the game lasted until the last moment. Zi stepped up and took over the game. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets 106-99!

The defending champion collapsed, and the Timberwolves created the biggest upset in the Western Conference playoffs! According to statistics, this is the first time the Timberwolves have won the conference semifinals in the past 20 years! In this game, Jokic, Porter Jr. and Murray scored in double figures and combined for 69 points. However, the Nuggets' offensive system was inefficient and slow; on the other hand, the Timberwolves, Towns, Gobert, and Conley , Reed, and Huazi all stepped forward to create offensive and defensive cohesion in which everyone works for me and I work for everyone! Especially Hua Zi, like a god descending to earth, showed his super giant character, scored 43 points, and broke many NBA records in one game! According to statistics, Huazi scored 43 points in his debut in the conference semifinals, ranking third in NBA history, second only to Doncic (45 points) and Curry (44 points). At the same time, before the age of 23, Huazi scored 40+ in two consecutive games in the playoffs. He became the second player in NBA history to accomplish this achievement. The first was Kobe! In addition, Huazi averaged 29.8 points per game in the first 16 games of his career, with a true shooting percentage of 62.1%. He is the only player in NBA history who scored at least 26 points and had a true shooting percentage in the first 16 games of his career. Players reaching 60% are unprecedented!

Huazi won numerous praises for his battle to become a god! As an opponent, Mr. Yue said after the game: Huazi is an incredible player. I have full respect for him. You have to appreciate and respect such an opponent. As a teammate, Conley said bluntly in an interview: Huazi perfectly executed the team's tactical plan with ease. As supporting actors around him, we only need to continue to support him!

However, Huazi himself was not dazzled by the victory. He said in an interview: It is endless fun to fight against the strongest team in the world. The Nuggets have the best player in the league Jokic, the best key player Murray and Porter Jr., the best three-point shooter, we will treat this series as a battle! The Nuggets lost their home court advantage, and coach Malone already had a sense of worry. He pointedly pointed out after the game: If we let four more Timberwolves players play at the same time, we will be eliminated soon!

The Thunder vs. Mavericks series is also particularly interesting. In the words of Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks mid-season trade is very beautiful, but the Thunder have been outstanding throughout the season, and Alexander and Alexander Doncic is an MVP candidate, and this series is destined to be fierce! The only fly in the ointment is that before the war, bad news came from the Lone Ranger.According to a joint report by NBA famous reporters Shams and Tim, Kleber suffered a grade three dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint of his right shoulder and is expected to be sidelined for a long time, and may even miss the rest of the playoffs! In the series when the Mavericks eliminated the Clippers, Kleiber scored 11 three-pointers with a 55.6% shooting rate, playing a very important tactical role. In addition, Hardaway Jr. is also in a state of injury. The Mavericks only have 7 people left in normal rotation, and their opponent is the young and energetic Thunder. Physical fitness will be the lifeline of the Mavericks. If they want to advance, they must fight for a quick victory. quick decision! Fans and friends, what do you think of this?
