Chapter 751
In the second half of the season, the Timberwolves' game can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, winning 36 games in a row.

There are 82 regular season games in a season, which is equivalent to a winning streak for nearly half a season.

In the first half of the season, the Timberwolves ranked third in the West. Bai Jidong averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists per game;During this period, Bai Jidong averaged a terrible 37 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists per game.

In this way, Bai Jidong's average per game this season is an unbelievable 35 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists.

Just shy of averaging a triple-double by one rebound per game, but that's scary enough.

"This is the strongest White Wolf. If the White Wolf finally wins the regular season MVP for four consecutive years, I will not be surprised. He played a legendary season."

这同样是一个残酷的赛季，森林狼打出69胜13负却只能排联盟第二，因为东部的凯尔特人复制了96公牛的72胜10负。

The West is even wilder, with the Timberwolves winning 69 and the Lakers winning 61. No.3 to No.8 all have 50+ wins.

The poor Golden State Warriors, although they won 48 games, they can only rank ninth, and they can't even make the playoffs.

What is this concept?Let's put it this way, the eighth in the Eastern Conference has 37 wins for the Eagles, the seventh for the 76ers with 40 wins, and the sixth for the Raptors with 41 wins...

If the Warriors are placed in the East, they can enter the playoffs with the fourth place in the East.

This shows how fierce the competition for the playoff tickets in the West is.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Timberwolves' opponent is the Denver Nuggets, who have golden guns.

Game 1 started, and with the help of Bai Jidong, Yi Jianlian cut to the basket, caught the ball and dunked successfully, helping the team get off to a good start.

Then Joe Smith made a high breakthrough to help the team take the lead.The Nuggets played the offensive with the golden double guns, and Anthony's three-point goal helped the team score a breakthrough.

The two sides played a back-and-forth offensive at the beginning of the quarter. Yi Jian had a good sense of teamwork. Continuous high-position pick-and-rolls opened catches and hit shots, forcing the Nuggets to call a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, relying on the offense of Smith and Bai Jidong to continue to maintain the lead.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves strengthened their defense against the double guns, causing the Nuggets to misfire.

The Timberwolves relied on Bai Jidong and Vashabek's three-pointers to play an 11-0 offensive, extending the advantage to double digits in one fell swoop.

In the past 5 minutes of the game, the Nuggets had Iverson complete a layup to break the scoring drought.

The Nuggets, who have improved on the offensive end, are still unable to limit their opponents on the defensive end. Bai Jidong is unstoppable and has scored consecutively to help the team firmly control the lead of more than 10 points.

After halftime, the Nuggets could not see any hope and were firmly suppressed by the Timberwolves.

"Obviously, the Nuggets weren't ready. And the Timberwolves put on a pose to eat them alive."

"The Timberwolves continued their strength in the regular season, and the Nuggets are not their opponents at all."

In the second half, the Nuggets, who were behind by a large score, still failed to play an effective offensive. Under the instigation of Bai Jidong, the Timberwolves took advantage of the situation and played a wave of offensives to widen the point difference to 20 points.

After the third quarter, the Timberwolves won the game with a desperate offensive.

In the last quarter, the Nuggets let go of their burdens and went all out. They played a very different offensive in the first three quarters and kept chasing points, but the point difference was too large for their efforts to win.

Bai Jidong didn't play in the fourth quarter, he watched the game on the bench.

The first game of the playoffs ended here. Bai Jidong played 28 minutes and efficiently scored a triple-double of 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

"Everyone of us played with energy, and everyone focused on the game." Talking about this easy victory, Bai Jidong said.

After the game, Iverson and Bai Jidong had a quarrel, and the two exchanged trash talk, which became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.

Bai Jidong didn't take this matter to heart, "Trash talking is normal, I have a very good relationship with AI, it's definitely not what you see."

"A game is a game. I am the same as him. As long as I am on the court, I have to let go of my friendship. I must show the murderous intent to wipe them out. I believe he is the same." Bai Jidong said.

The Nuggets don't seem to have any chance, but the playoffs have just begun, and anything can happen.

So, on the night of Game2, the two sides fought like a war, either you die or I die without leaving any room for confrontation.

This is the only way for the Nuggets to win. Only through a strong confrontation that reduces the offensive efficiency of the Timberwolves can they have hope of winning.

The goal of the Nuggets was achieved. They made the Timberwolves struggle on the offensive end. Similarly, they were also restrained by the Timberwolves and couldn't play.

However, the Timberwolves have fought against a steel division like the Pistons in the Finals, and finally defeated them, and have rich experience in this kind of game.

At first, he felt a little uncomfortable, and then Bai Jidong made adjustments directly on the field, and by the way, made his teammates change accordingly.

"Are you still thinking about winning? Don't dream, you can't win." Bai Jidong singled out Anthony, and with the last goal of the first half, he ended it with a three-pointer.

Although the Nuggets tried various methods to deal with the Timberwolves, they still failed to dominate the game.

No matter how it changes, the Timberwolves always adapt faster than they do.

Although they are both playoff teams, the level difference between the two teams is difficult to make up for with skills and tactics.

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves led the Nuggets again by a big score.

"At this moment, do you have the same feeling as yesterday?" Bai Jidong looked at Anthony in front of him with a smile.

This person, who is also known as the 03 double hero with James, doesn't want to say a word at this moment.

Bai Jidong controlled the ball with one hand, and ran out of time with the other, "What a pity, your journey to the playoffs will stop at the first round."

"Don't talk too early, it's not certain who will win!" Anthony said angrily.

Bai Jidong laughed loudly and said: "Some things are better said earlier, don't you think you guys still have fun? If you really think so, then I would like to give you a big praise for your confidence."

At the end of the game, the Nuggets lost the game by 13 points and fell behind 0-2 in the series.

"I have nothing to say. The Timberwolves played very well in these two games. Let's go back to Denver and fight again."

Iverson is not someone who can afford to lose, and his words eased the tension between the two teams.

Denver High is known as the home of the devil because of its super high altitude. Every team has to adapt to get into the state when it comes here.

Sitting at home, the Nuggets took the initiative from the very beginning and suppressed the Timberwolves in the first start.

In every adversity, the Timberwolves rely more on Bai Jidong.Bai Jidong has long been used to stepping up to save the team at this time.

He wanted to end this round of fighting as soon as possible. He knew that the decisive battle was far from coming, and they couldn't spend too much energy on the Nuggets.

The Nuggets used all means to defeat the Timberwolves, but the result did not change. Bai Jidong scored 48 points and led the team to reverse the game in the final quarter.

In addition to Bai Jidong's performance, Spanoulis' performance is also very important, so he is also favored by reporters.

"When you have enough performance time, you can easily find your rhythm," Spanoulis said. "When I am asked to do something, I am a little nervous, but I know my role in the team position, someone else was covering for me, I was playing well and I wanted to play like that every night."

Spanoulis is the sixth man of the Timberwolves, and his offensive firepower is indispensable for the Timberwolves.

He averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the regular season (second only to Bai Jidong, the second highest in the team), and is a popular candidate for the best sixth man of the season.

Game 3 is a heart-breaking game for the Nuggets. If they win, the series can still be played. Once they lose, they will be exhausted.

Now, the Nuggets can't even win a game.

Game4, Timberwolves continue the previous state, they don't want to extend the series, end here, this is what they want.

That night, the Timberwolves were all soldiers.

The most enjoyable attack of the game came from the counterattack after the Timberwolves steal.

Bai Weidong steals Iverson, passes back to Ukic, Ukic keeps catching the ball, passes back to Himien in the frontcourt, I don't want Himien to be thick but subtle, and Yi Jianlian who follows up with a back pass, The latter dunked with both hands, and the domineering ended.

This series of showy operations made this counterattack the first of the top ten goals of the day.

This is also a reaction to the whole game. The Timberwolves played like an exhibition game, leaving no chance for the Nuggets.

In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves and were swept out with a big score of 0 to 4.

"It's the best way to end the series." Bai Weidong smiled.

A reporter talked about their possible opponents in the semifinals, but Bai Jidong declined to comment: "Whether we meet Houston or Utah, we will be prepared."

"Who would you prefer to be against?"

"Utah."

"Why?"

These reporters have so many fart questions...

Bai Jidong was powerless to complain, and continued: "If we meet Yao in the playoffs, that feeling will be very strange. Of course, if we really meet, I will not show mercy."
