Chapter 2 Twenty-Four Back to Home
The Dallas Mavericks lost the first game of the playoffs, and the big score has been temporarily dominated by Minnesota.
But this does not mean that the Timberwolves can relax and be careless. The playoffs can theoretically play a full seven games. There are too many variables.
There are many examples in the league that led by a big score of 3:1, but were eliminated miserably. McGrady's widely circulated sentence: "I have already considered the next round!" is the best example.
The head coach Frank did not give the players a chance to relax. After the first playoff game, Frank arranged heavy basic training on the second day. These exercises are all exercises that can solidify the basic skills of the players. Their strength will prevent them from performing abnormally in the next game, and can properly consume the energy and physical strength of their players, so that they no longer have the leisure to go to nightclubs, bars and other places to hang out.
The night life of the players in the league is always "rich and colorful", and it is basically late at night after the game.There are no movie theaters, no playgrounds, and there are only streets and alleys with few people. For them, at this point in time, they can no longer enjoy the diverse life during the day, and sometimes they encounter away games. Unfortunately, without the company of relatives and friends, players' nights often fall into loneliness and boredom.
At this time, going to bars and nightclubs with teammates has become their best way to pass the time. Over time, this night entertainment has become a "routine" for most players in the league.
Timberwolves players are generally young, and the oldest Corey Brewer is only 24 or [-] years old. They are not affected by the bad atmosphere in the league. For these young guys, very few people will Obsessed with places like nightclubs and bars, I don't go too many times.
However, at the critical juncture of the playoffs, the Timberwolves still have to complete the feat of defeating the enemy. It can be said that the pressure on them cannot be lightened. The coach Frank made such an arrangement, and the players did not have any objections.
This is also one of the important reasons why the Timberwolves can explode so much energy this season. All their energy is directed towards one place. There is not much difference between them with a small age gap, and the locker room reacts very harmoniously. .
Frank Vogel's training really gave this group of energetic boys a hard training, all of them were exhausted and exhausted, and none of them had the idea of going out at night.
After the first stand in the West, many media across the United States updated their remarks in time and made predictions for the next game.
In contrast, the war between Minnesota and Dallas is not eye-catching. They are not as eye-catching as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers. A little surprised.
However, public opinion in the United States generally believes that this is because the Western Conference is too competitive. The teams that can break into the playoffs have completed the feat of 50 wins. The strength gap between them is not big. The Timberwolves won a small Also within reason.
But ESPN is not so kind. In their latest playoff forecast, they listed a lot of data to support the Dallas Mavericks in winning. Wisky has more favorable opinion, and naturally he is more optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks led by German Chariot.
Li Shihao and Le Fu didn't know about these things, even if they knew, I'm afraid they wouldn't care too much.
This season, they have seen too many sinister faces of the media. Under the masks of these uncrowned kings, there is no good intentions hidden.
The drumbeat of the playoffs did not stop there, and the second game started soon.
The second game is still on the Dallasites' territory. The Mavericks have home court advantage in the first two games.
The Dallasites, who had suffered their first defeat, had apparently woken up from their dreams. They began to pay attention to the group of young wolves in front of them. That night, Li Shihao and the others encountered the most tenacious resistance in the American Airlines Center. The Dallasites He showed the craziest game state, even the old Jason Kidd was jealous, took 21 shots, scored 55 points, and his shooting percentage was as high as [-]%, which is extremely rare for Jason Kidd.
The old Kidd seemed to have returned to the top that night, and once again glowed with the second spring. Not only did he feel good, he scored 21 points, but he also linked up the team, bringing the Mavericks' offensive rhythm completely up, leading the fierce team again and again. The offensive hit the Timberwolves' defense.
The Timberwolves lost in Game [-], to an all-out Dallas Mavericks.
Due to the upset in the first game, this match between No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the West attracted the attention of many people. The number of followers has increased by tens of thousands compared with the first game.
The United States has a very large territory. Fans from different regions want to watch the same game, and they often watch the game day and night. I gave up watching the game because of the small time difference.
This battle in the Western Conference still attracted many fans. This can be seen from the fact that the tickets in the American Airlines Arena were sold out in a short time.
The second game failed, and the Timberwolves won one of the two away games. Although they did not win all of them, it has already made Li Shihao and the others feel at ease. The feat of "Black Seven" is not small at all. , It is not easy for the Timberwolves to grab a victory, so they can ask for more.
Next, the situation will be reversed. The Timberwolves will have three consecutive home games. As long as the Timberwolves can play well in the home target center and win two games, the Dallas people will be forced to the cliff. If you lose one more game, you will be eliminated directly.
At that time, the heavy pressure may directly make the Dallas Mavericks players breathless.
Although the game in Dallas was over, Li Shihao did not forget to summarize the game.
As the brain of the team's backcourt, he is also the temporary commander on the field. He has the deepest feeling for the game, and he also has the clearest feeling for the opponent's tactical changes and other factors.
From the second game, Li Shihao felt the playoff state of the Dallas Mavericks. The fierce body collision, fiery shooting touch, and wave after wave of offensive momentum directly stunned the young Timberwolves.
