Chapter eight hundred and fifteen: old friends visit

Just the second day after Anjie and his Trail Blazers advanced, another match in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs was about to produce results.

At this moment, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, all the fans' hearts were in their throats. Because their opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves, caused great trouble to the Thunder.

This season, the Timberwolves, which have three players, Towns, Wiggins and Jimmy Butler, are shining in the West.

Towns and Wiggins have matured, and Jimmy Butler has also played the role of his big brother.

These three extremely impactful guys joined forces to finally make the Minnesota Timberwolves enter the playoffs after 2oo4 years!

For a team like the Timberwolves that have only played eight playoffs since their establishment, it is already thankful that they can break through the siege. However, now, these guys do not seem to be satisfied with the first round. They want to ask for more!

"Carl Anthony Towns has very beautiful steps. He tricked Adams into making a layup directly! Good ball, Towns easily scored in the inside, and the Timberwolves bit the score again!" Reggie Miller couldn't help but applaud Towns. Since Anjie appeared, the big men in the United States have become more and more versatile.

Whether it is Towns or Jalial Okafor, whether it is Anthony Davis or his inside partner Cousins ​​Anger, the appearance of the big men in the United States has set a good benchmark for Americans.

Inside players no longer need to be strong and powerful as before. Centers like Howard have been almost eliminated by the league.

Now a big man wants to survive in the NBA, he must become omnipotent like An Jie and others.

You see, isn’t even Brooke Lopez starting to shoot three-pointers from outside the three-point line now? He is not afraid of confronting others at the basket, but three-pointers can add an extra offensive means to his arsenal.

All the big guys are trying to make themselves more versatile, and Thunder, who is not deep enough inside, suffers from Towns.

Westbrook didn't care about that much. He only knew that the team lost points and he quickly took the points back when he needed to do!

Westbrook's explosive impact instantly made the Timberwolves' defense line to pieces. Westbrook drove straight in and scored again with a tough layup.

Anthony slapped Westbrook lightly after scoring the goal. He did not blame Westbrook for not passing the ball. As long as the team could win, Anthony was willing to make any compromise, even if it was to give up the ball!

"It's so scary. Westbrook was so excited about this game today. If he had been in this state in the previous few games, the Timberwolves might have been swept out long ago!"

The Timberwolves made a comeback. Jimmy Butler just got the basketball when Westbrook suddenly came out and stabbed him away.

Because he rushed too fast, Westbrook staggered and fell to the ground.

Although he had fallen, Westbrook did not forget to control the basketball. The guy was not afraid of any pain and suddenly stretched out his arm, hugged the basketball on the wooden floor, and pressed it under him.

Everyone from the Timberwolves immediately rushed to Westbrook, and some even lay directly on Westbrook.

Westbrook withstood the huge pressure. After seeing Anthony running towards the frontcourt, Westbrook suddenly threw the ball forward.

The crowd looked in the direction of the basketball flying like a conditioned reflex, and in order to fight for the ball with Westbrook, the Timberwolves now had four people around him.

This also means that Anthony is facing a basket with only one person defending!

This situation is just a piece of cake for Anthony! Facing Morrow, who was guarding the basket alone, Anthony directly ended everything with a throw.

The fans of the Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered, not only for George who scored, but also for Westbrook who had just saved the ball.

For some reason, Westbrook was extremely excited today. Although the Thunder had already won the match point with a total score of 3-1, Westbrook's excitement was still wrong.

In the subsequent games, the Timberwolves were still broken up by the impactful Westbrook. Towns, Wiggins and Jimmy eventually stopped in the first round of the playoffs with Westbrook and Anthony.

For the Timberwolves, they are undoubtedly successful this season. They entered the playoffs again after 14 years, and this result is enough to satisfy Minnesota fans and bosses.

But for the winner Thunder, defeating the Timberwolves is just a prelude to the playoffs.

The reason why Westbrook suddenly became so excited in this game was not because the Thunder got the match point. It was because he learned that Angel and the Portland Trail Blazers were already waiting for him on the Western Conference semi-final stage in advance!

Morris, Ann, and the collision with two former teammates in the playoffs was something Westbrook wanted.

Although he lost Morris, Westbrook now has stars like Anthony to help. The Thunder’s goal is very simple, to re-enter the finals and win the championship!

During the game, Westbrook was thinking about the scene of himself fighting with Angel and the others. Whenever he thought of these, Westbrook would rather meet them earlier. And the more he thought about this, the more Westbrook hoped that the game would end soon.

So, the unlucky Timberwolves were defeated by the sudden explosion of Westbrook.

The game just ended, Westbrook celebrated ritually, then walked into the player's passage alone and rushed into the home team's locker room of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

He immediately opened his cabinet, took out his cell phone, and dialed Anjie's number.

"Congratulations! Russell!" As soon as he answered the phone, Anjie's voice came from the receiver.

It seems that this guy just watched the live broadcast of the game.

"Tell Morris, don't worry about me and the Thunder. Look, aren't we doing well?" Westbrook was very happy. After many years, he finally had the opportunity to compete with his former good brothers!

"You have a good rest these two days, man, when you come to Portland, the game will not be so easy." Angel was very happy for Westbrook's promotion from the bottom of his heart, but he will not forget that in the playoffs, there are no friends, only enemies!

"Don't worry, in Portland, I will definitely show my best form. You won't be disappointed An, you will get a wonderful Western Conference semi-final!" Westbrook looked at Anthony's cabinet. That position used to belong to Anger. Now, I will take this new friend to defeat my former comrade-in-arms!

"I'll treat you to a meal when I win the game."

"Can you treat me to a meal, but want to win? No!"

"Boy, you're not a little bit!"

"You know Ann, my favorite challenge. Wait well in Portland, the Oklahoma City Thunder is here!"

An Jie hung up the phone with a smile. The Thunder is indeed a strong opponent. But for some reason, An Jie is very happy.

He met Westbrook again in the playoffs, and at this moment, Anger has been waiting for several years.
