At the end of the game, the score on the court was fixed at 127 to 69.
Eight Mavericks scored in double figures. Sun Hao and Nowitzki scored 18 points and 16 points respectively. Nash performed well and scored 16 points and 14 assists, and had only 2 turnovers.
On the Timberwolves side, Garnett scored 30 points, but apart from him, only Szzibiak scored in double figures...
At the end of the game, there was no carnival or celebration, only the laughter of the fans.
In this game, there is no need to cheer or shout to vent your emotions, because the cool part is already cool before the game is over.
127 points are the team's highest single-game postseason score since Sun Hao joined the Mavericks.
At the same time, the 58-point difference also set the highest single-game net win in the NBA playoffs.
In fact, this point difference is only 10 points away from the NBA's single-game net win record.
Old Nelson didn't want to, but he had already driven out the Timberwolves.
Although Garnett still stubbornly attended the team's post-match press conference, but the always stubborn Wolf King, also bowed his head at the conference site.
That kind of atmosphere made reporters afraid to mention the word 58.
Because of the mention, Garnett may really have to jump out of the table to play a real PK.
However, after the press conference, a reporter said that he heard a loud noise from the locker room.
Later, someone said that the fire hydrant in the Timberwolves' locker room was broken.
But true and false, in an era when the media is still underdeveloped, there is no true number.
The Timberwolves are desperate, but the Mavericks are extremely relaxed.
And Sun Hao didn't even need to find the reason, and directly forwarded the Thomas's signature jersey to Nash.
"Don't say I gave it to you."
But after giving it to Nash, he still did not forget to remind.
Otherwise, the fans would have to complain about him.
The Mavericks are playing in the locker room, and the forum fans over there are bursting.
The reporter was afraid of Garnett's presence at the press conference, but the fans would not be afraid of this in the forum.
"58 is really hammered, this time even if the king of heaven is here, Lao Tzu is also the nickname!"
"If the 58-point loss in the regular season last season was just a ridicule, then this is really making Garnett a shit."
"I don't know how many years later, watching Garnett enter the Hall of Fame, but with a history of being scored 58 points in the playoffs, what kind of scene was that!"
"Iron blood warning!"
"5...58 punches warning?"
"After this game, I think the Mavericks have a battle with the Lakers capital!"
"Don't be funny, you can see the level of abuse in the game? The Lakers also play at the Supersonics. The OK combination of playoff mode is unsolvable."
"You can only know if you can play, and the Kings and Spurs are not weak this season. Whether the two teams can meet is unknown."
"We started discussing the Western Conference Finals so soon? Only one playoff was played! I believe the Wolf King will lead the team to rebound strongly!"
...
There are still sane fans in the forum.
Although they won 58 points, the Mavericks only led by 1-0.
In the series, from the perspective of big scores, there is no difference between winning 58 points and winning 1 point.
However, the reality is that a win of 58 points and a win of 1 point have completely different effects on the mentality of the two teams.
Like last year, the first round of this year's playoffs uses a 5-game 3-win system.
The second game of the series opened in Minnesota.
There is no fire in Minnesota in this era.
However, Timberwolves fans felt unable to breathe after the second game.
Because even if the Timberwolves play at home, they have lost what they rely on most of the season, their fighting spirit.
The wolf pack without fighting spirit can only be slaughtered by hunters.
90 to 108, the Timberwolves lost a lot less momentum than the previous game.
But the score is the same as the data, and sometimes it can be deceiving.
The Timberwolves' defense this time was significantly worse than the previous one.
The final score was low, entirely because the Mavericks did not feel as good as the first game.
But anyone who has watched the game knows that after the 58-point rout in the first game, the series is over.
The strategy before the Sun Hao series worked perfectly.
We will return to Dallas to play the third game.
After another close to 20-point victory, the Mavericks swept the Timberwolves 3-0, easily approaching the second round.
This ease is really easy.
Before the start of the playoffs, no amount of professional experts could predict this score.
Not to mention the three games, the Mavericks averaged 30+ points per game.
But the result is that strategy is more effective than tactics.
At the press conference after the last game, Garnett attended with Sanders.
His expression didn't seem to be particularly depressed, on the contrary, it gave people a sense of relief.
The 58-point loss in the first game put him under too much pressure.
As a result, when he was finally out, he relieved the pressure.
When talking about the next season, he also regained the style of the wolf king.
"I will be back!"
His tone is as hard as iron.
This sentence was also quoted by the media later.
The NBA has never lacked rivals, and successful revenge will also be regarded as a classic.
Garnett has that strength.
However, Sun Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw the news.
Because he was so familiar with it.
In a banned national comic, the beaten Big Big Wolf would say this every episode.
Moreover, Timberwolves, Wolf King, Big Big Wolf.
This is so vivid!
Of course, the first round of the game was over, and Sun Hao did not pay attention to Garnett and his Timberwolves.
He began to pay attention to the situation in other series.
In the East, the Celtics and Pistons both won by 3-1.
This result is expected, but McGrady is a bit tragic, falling in the first round for two consecutive years.
But the remaining two groups are a bit unexpected.
Both the Nets and Wizards swept their opponents 3-0.
That's normal for the Nets, after all, the Raptors did not play Carter and belonged to the disabled team.
But the Wizards' opponent is the 76ers! The defending champion of the Eastern Conference last season!
The 76ers retained their lineup from last season and added so much in the summer.
But the result was that they were swept away.
There are many reasons for this result.
Iverson’s restrictions on the defense team are greater than expected, especially after the playoffs have loosened the penalties, Iverson has been knocked down without a whistle frequently;
The team's starting point guard, Snow, is in an extremely sluggish state, with a shooting percentage of just over 30%;
and many more.
Of course, there is the most important point. The Wizards are really much better than expected.
Yao Ming's growth is much larger than expected, and he did not fall behind in the matchup with Mutombo.
Coupled with the presence of Mobley and Hardaway greatly eased Jordan's regular time pressure.
Then, it was Jordan's old rogue harvest at a critical moment.
In the first three games of the series, Jordan's scoring average was not many, averaging only 27 points per game, more than 2 points more than his regular season scoring.
But of these 27 points, nearly 12 points were taken in the last quarter!
This is the crux of the problem!
Although he suffered an injury truce as in history, Jordan has found the best way to play under a different lineup.
What is an old hooligan?
This is the old hooligan!
After Sun Hao watched the video, he couldn't help feeling that he was about to become Qiao Chuan.
When a 39-year-old veteran is beaten like this, there is really no second person in history.
Moreover, as a traverser, he can open his eyes in many other places, but he can only watch quietly what hasn't happened.
From the perspective of opponents and series performance, as long as Jordan does not hurt, this Wizards team has a high probability of breaking through from the East.
Even, as he thought before, winning the championship is not impossible.
Six out of six.
In the West, the Lakers swept the Sonics 3-0.
This year in history, the Sonics defeated the Spurs in a five-fifth game, but...
Like what the fans said on the forum, the Lakers in the playoffs and the regular season are not the same team. The OK combination is very scary to play seriously.
The remaining two groups played against the Kings 3-1 Jazz and Spurs 3-1 Blazers.
In this way, the East and West Division also came out in the second round.
The Eastern Celtics play the Pistons and the Nets Wizards;
The West Kings played the Lakers, the Mavericks met the Spurs.
It's not that the enemies don't get together. If the first round is the Timberwolves' revenge perspective, then in the second round, it's the Mavericks perspective.
This Spurs team is not the strongest Spurs team, because Parker and Ginobili, the two future Spurs stars, are still rookies.
But this Spurs is definitely stronger than the same year in history.
Because of Ginobili, he arrived at the Spurs a year earlier.
Although the Mavericks first played against the Spurs at the beginning of the season they won by a large margin.
But as Popovich said after that game, he began to value three-pointers.
Although three-pointers cannot be practiced in one season, the Spurs' strength is visible growth.
This can be seen from the match records of the two teams later in the season.
Throughout the regular season, the two teams won two each in four games, but the Spurs had more points.
This is also the reason why the two teams have the same record in the final regular season ranking, but the Spurs second Mavericks third.
Playing the Lakers, or even trying to win the championship, is the next thing. What they have to do now is to defeat the opponent who defeated them last season.
Otherwise, the Spurs will double kill. Don't talk about them, just talk about Nelson.
If Popovich sends another "your way you really can't win the championship", then the old Nelson probably has no confidence to continue coaching with the Mavericks.
Therefore, just like what the old Nelson said before the game, playing the Spurs series can only win, not lose!
This is as important as winning the championship!
This is what they have to do, but it is not easy.
Inside and outside tactics are the simplest and the most difficult to defend.
Because your most troublesome problem is that super insider.
The Lakers have O'Neal and the Spurs have Duncan.
But this is also an opportunity for the Mavericks.
The inner wheel they prepared for O'Neal needs to be tried on Duncan.
In the second round of the playoffs, from a 5-game 3-win system to a 7-game 4-win system.
The Spurs have the home court advantage in this round of the series, and the game will start in San Antonio first.
The day before the game, the Mavericks went to San Antonio.
At this time, the league announced the results of the second batch of awards.
The best defensive player, and the best rookie.
Detroit fans were still aggrieved that Ben Wallace was not selected as the best player last year, but this year, they won't have that trouble again.
They even raised their eyebrows well.
Because Ben Wallace got a refreshing NBA history in the voting for this year's best defensive player.
He got almost all the votes and was elected with 96.67% of the votes!
In other words, the remaining Mutombo, Garnett, and others add up to less than 4% of the vote.
This is not a sling, it simply obliterates all suspense.
"We saw a new Rodman, and the interesting thing is that they all started their careers in Detroit."
Fans’ comments on social media are interesting.
In contrast, the competition for the best rookie is much fiercer.
Six rookies in this session averaged double-digit points per game.
Yao Ming, Gasol, Jason Richardson, Battier, Arenas, and Kwame Brown.
After sending away Mobley, the Houston team fed the ball to the Twin Towers desperately.
The result proved one thing. Houston's unhappy and mindless combination of the Twin Towers. The mindless team proved to have limited talent, but it was unhappy. The data came out.
Brown averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game.
Although this data is not outstanding in the second place, but at least it can be seen.
Of course, this performance did not win him too many votes in the best rookie vote.
The votes for the best rookie were mainly concentrated in the hands of two players.
Yao Ming, and Paul Gasol.
In fact, in the past season, because they are in the East, they competed extremely fiercely for Rookie of the Month.
Yao Ming won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for a total of 11, 12, 2, and 3.
Gasol took the remaining January and April.
In terms of the number of rookies of the month, Yao Ming has the advantage.
In terms of averaging data, Yao Ming averaged 15.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, better than Gasol's 14.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
However, Gasol's team status and shooting rights in the Celtics are not as good as Yao Ming, and the Celtics' record in the East is better than the Wizards' third in the East.
Therefore, this suspense has been revealed at the last minute.
The final voting results showed that Yao Ming's vote was 48.36% and Gasol's vote was 39.65%.
Yao Ming beat Gasol by nearly 10% of the votes and became the NBA Rookie of the Year from 2001 to 2002!
And this result also means that the best rookie in the NBA has been picked by Chinese players for two consecutive years!
Another historic moment ~EbookFREE.me~ Sun Hao only saw the news after arriving in San Antonio.
He called Yao Ming the first time and congratulated him.
What surprised Sun Hao was that Yao Ming himself didn't even know.
This became what he informed Yao Ming.
But this also shows that Yao Ming's attention is now all on the Wizards playoffs.
Yao Ming was very happy to hear the news, and at the end of the call, he said something like this to Sun Hao.
"If possible, see you in the finals."
