Caron Butler was injured and lost to the Spurs by a big score. Within a day, the Timberwolves seemed to have a tendency to fall from the altar to the mundane.

At the post-match press conference, Rambis said helplessly: "Injuries are unpredictable. I think this is one of the charms of basketball." The usual style, "I think this is a good thing. The Spurs can finally play us one more game. They worked hard today, but the Timberwolves will definitely win the next game."

On the Spurs side, Popovich finally showed his smiling face again, "Today's substitutes played very well. They provided strong fire support to GDP. The output of the substitutes is very important to the entire team."

It can be said that the loss in the third game surprised everyone. After receiving the news that Caron Butler of the Timberwolves was injured, the entire Lakers team was secretly celebrating.

4月24日，湖人队在主场再胜达拉斯小牛，取得了总比分3比0的领先，德文哈里斯在这个系列赛中，场均能够得到10.8分、10.5次助攻、3.5次抢断，科比每场贡献22分、6次篮板、6次助攻。

In another game, Carmelo Anthony of the Nuggets scored 48 points in Jazz's energy solution arena, leading the team to a 125-118 victory. The terrifying firepower with an average of 3 points made coach Jerry Sloan sigh secretly.

In the East, the Eagles won the away game. Jamal Crawford and Joe Johnson jointly scored 65 points. The violent dunk sent Smith to block 5 shots. The Eagles led 2-1.

In the game on the same day, under the leadership of the Big Three, the Celtics defeated the Miami Heat again. Dwyane Wade retired due to injury, and he will be absent for the rest of the series after 2 weeks of rest.The Celtics also lead the Miami Heat 3-0 on a big score.

On April 4, at the AT&T Center Arena, the fourth game of the series between the Timberwolves and the Spurs will start here.

In this game, Caron Butler came to the scene wearing a suit. One of the best perimeter defenders in the league felt very sorry for not being able to continue to contribute to the team.This season, he has suffered injuries for the second time. It seems that 30 years old is indeed a hurdle.Caron Butler, who has reached his thirties, has already felt the physical fatigue brought about by years of fighting.

In the last game, after being upset by the Spurs, the Timberwolves made tactical adjustments.

Wayne Ellington topped the starting lineup, Mesquite took the sixth man position, and used the better defensive Wayne Ellington to limit Manu Ginobili. This is also an adjustment made by Rambis.In addition, this game focuses on the inside. You must know that the Timberwolves' inside strength is one of the best in the West.Kevin Love, Shaquille O'Neal, Jonathan Bender, Peter York, these four players are quite tough.

Before the game, various media also expressed their views.

"Minnesota Morning News": Without Butler, but we still have Lin, the Timberwolves will move on.

"San Antonio Sun": In the last game, the Spurs played a long-lost momentum and style, as long as they continue to maintain, they are entirely likely to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves at home again.

"New York Daily": The Spurs have created huge troubles for the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves need Lin to come forward.

ESPN: Moving on?Although the Spurs won a game against the Timberwolves, it must be the more powerful Timberwolves who won the series in the end.

Various media have their own views, as do players and fans, "Let the game prove everything." The villain Lambiel said.

With referee Crawford throwing the basketball into the sky, the fourth playoff game between the Spurs and Timberwolves begins!
It was Shaquille O'Neal who jumped to the ball, and he passed the ball to Lin Xiaofeng, the core of the team.Facing Tony Parker's defense, Lin Xiaofeng successfully escaped with a wind walk.In this game, Lin Xiaofeng, who is determined to win, must show 100% firepower from the very beginning!
In the first quarter, Lin Xiaofeng took the lead in scoring 2 points for the Timberwolves.In the next 5 minutes, how to defend Lin Xiaofeng became a very difficult problem. Tony Parker's footsteps are fast, but he is not the kind of defensive point guard.Among the league's point guards, it can be said that Lin Xiaofeng can be controlled one-on-one, and there are only 2 players, Billups and Chris Paul.

And just to contain it, it is impossible to completely suppress Lin Xiaofeng.

Score!Score!Lin Xiaofeng leads Minnesota forward!

In desperation, the Spurs launched a two-man defense, and Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker came together to defend this guy.The double defense finally achieved some results, but just when Popovich breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Xiaofeng's magical pass appeared.

Lin Xiaofeng assisted his teammates to score 3 times in a row by spinning the ball, passing the ball behind the head, and throwing the ball!
This is the scary thing about Lin Xiaofeng. While possessing terrifying attack power, he also has terrifying organizational skills.

The game reached a climax in the first quarter, and the two sides competed for each other. The Spurs' hard work and ruthlessness are indeed admirable.

This game is really critical. If you lose, the big score will become 2 to 2, and the two sides will return to the starting line; if you win, the big score will become 3 to 1, and the Timberwolves will get the match point.Therefore, the players of the two teams did not dare to relax.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitutes. Under the leadership of Chris Duhon, the Timberwolves' substitutes launched an impact on the aging inside of the Spurs!The disadvantages of Matt Bonner and McDyess on the defensive end are fully exposed.Peter York and Jonathan Bender kept grabbing offensive rebounds. It wasn't that McDyess and Matt Bonner didn't want to fight, but their footsteps and bounce restricted their defense.

It can be said that the game really opened up the score in the second quarter. The score in this quarter was 39 to 16. The Timberwolves won the Spurs by nearly 23 points.

In the third quarter, the Spurs, who tried to launch a counterattack, returned in vain. In the end, the game ended with the Timberwolves winning 113 not 76!
While winning strongly, it also tells those who advocate that the Timberwolves will not go far in the playoffs, that the Timberwolves are the strongest team in the league.

"Now you should know where the gap between us and the Spurs is." Lin Xiaofeng smiled when interviewing ESPN reporters.

Just when Lin Xiaofeng was about to stride out of the encirclement of reporters, several reporters from CCTV, CSPN, and Sina stopped him.After speaking a few more words helplessly, Lin Xiaofeng left the AT&T Center Arena.

3 to 1, the situation is clear!Back at Target Center for the next game, make sure to keep the Spurs in Minnesota!
