Chapter 256 Reaching the playoffs n years later

On April 4, the Timberwolves defeated the Bucks in an away game and ushered in two consecutive victories.

After this game, the Timberwolves have a record of 41 wins and 33 losses, temporarily surpassing the Lakers and ranking seventh in the West!

In the next two games, the Timberwolves defeated the Raptors and the Pistons at home, ushering in a 4-game winning streak.

After 4 consecutive victories, their record came to 43 wins and 33 losses, which has approached the 6th-ranked Golden State Warriors.

During this period of winning streak, Shou Ye got 43218 points, he used them all, and bounced to 45!

In the card game on April 4, the Timberwolves narrowly lost to the Warriors in an away game and missed their 10-game winning streak.

The next day they lost back to back to the Clippers and ushered in a two-game losing streak.

After two consecutive losses, their record came to 43 wins and 35 losses, and they fell to 8th in the West, only one win away from the 9th Mosaic.

Shou Ye lamented how the playoff competition in the Western Conference has become so fierce this season. It is not easy to enter the playoffs without 46 wins and 47 wins.Because Mosaic is chasing too closely, with 4 games left, if they want to advance, they had better guarantee to win 3 games, so that the initiative can be in their own hands.

In the last 4 games of the Timberwolves, they will play two games against the Jazz, one game against the tank Suns, and the last game against the Spurs who have already secured the second place in the West.

The Jazz have no hope of the playoffs. They rank tenth, and there is still a gap of 3 wins with Mosaic.But it doesn’t mean they won’t disgust the Timberwolves and indirectly assist Mosaic; the Timberwolves must and should win the Suns. They are aiming for the No. [-] pick now, and winning is the greatest tragedy; as for the Spurs, Popovich’s Ugly, there are many people who played in the last game that you haven't seen much this season. If you can't win this game, the Timberwolves really shouldn't appear in the playoffs.

4月13日，在客场打爵士的比赛中，森林狼队凭借着寿叶的32分11个篮板2次助攻1个盖帽的出色表现，力克对手！

This game is very critical. After they gnawed this hard bone, their hopes of advancing to the playoffs became even greater.

The next day, they faced the last Suns in the Western Conference at home. Shouye clocked out of get off work in the 3rd quarter. It was too easy to win.Against a team that doesn't want to win, you beat him to fulfill him.

Two days later, the Timberwolves defeated the Jazz again at home, ushering in a 3-game winning streak.

After this game, their record came to 46 wins and 35 losses. Even if they lose the last game, they can still enter the playoffs by virtue of their mutual record.

The Timberwolves have already started pre-selling tickets for the playoffs... Although there is a loss of Versailles, it is true that they have entered the playoffs in name.

And the Timberwolves will definitely enter the 8th position. Even if they win the last game, their record is 47 wins and 35 losses, which is the same as the Lakers' record. Considering their mutual record, they will still be ranked behind the Lakers.

Mosaic has an opinion. They said that the Timberwolves are too disrespectful. The regular season is not over yet, and they are already pre-selling tickets for the playoffs.

But they can't help it, because even if they win the last game and the Timberwolves lose, they still can't advance to the playoffs, which is the most aggrieved.

In the last game, the Timberwolves faced the Spurs.Sure enough, the old bandit Bobo took a break from GDP, let the substitute play the starter, and let the drinking fountain play the main substitute, which is completely considered a Buddhist game.

Of course, the Timberwolves laughed at this kind of game. They easily defeated the Spurs and ended the last 4 games of the season with 4 consecutive victories.

In the end, the Timberwolves' record was fixed at 47 wins and 35 losses, ranking 8th in the Western Conference and advancing to the playoffs.

Their opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Thunder, which ranked first in the Western Conference with 59 wins and 23 losses.

Shou Ye got 4 points in the 50120 consecutive victories, and raised his bounce to 46!

The season is over and the rankings are out.

The top 8 in the West are Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Warriors, Lakers and Timberwolves!

Although the Timberwolves are only eighth in the West, they have won 8 games this season, and they only won 47 games last season.Although last season was a shrinking season, considering the winning percentage, it also increased a lot.

Considering the long-term shortage of personnel in their lineup this season and the extensive injuries in the core rotation, this record is even more commendable.

And their record can be ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference!

Shou Ye's performance this season is indeed outstanding. In his fourth season, he played a total of 4 games and started 82 games.In the average playing time of 82 minutes per game, he averaged 38.4 points, 21.8 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 5.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, shooting 4% from the field and 61.5-pointers. 3% and 40.8% from free throws.

Throughout the season, Shou Ye not only had full attendance, but also had three triple-doubles.He averaged 3+20+10 data per game, and made more than 5% of his 3-pointers. He is a representative of the league's high-efficiency insiders.

In the absence of Love, instead of degenerating into a bad team, the Timberwolves entered the playoffs strongly, which made Love quite embarrassed.

You must know that when Love was there last season, the team never became a candidate for the playoffs.

It's really "embarrassing whoever is missing". I thought that Love's reimbursement for the Timberwolves would completely lie down, but I didn't expect that under the leadership of Shou Ye, this team went against the trend and entered the playoffs. It was really unexpected .

In addition to Shou Ye's worth, it may not be all good things for the Timberwolves.Originally, if the season is not good enough, they can compete for the No. [-] pick, but now it’s better, and they have entered the playoffs. Far and almost impossible.

In the NBA, it is true that some teams have no hope of competing for the championship and will simply play poorly. Not every team is a team in a big market, and the benefits brought by playoff tickets are not that great.

For Shou Ye, he has been in the NBA for 4 seasons and has never missed the playoffs, which is also a record.And what is different this season is that he is the core of the team. It is actually difficult to make it to the playoffs in such a difficult situation in the West.

The Timberwolves advanced to the playoffs, and Shou Ye became the object of praise, but few people still think that they can surpass the Thunder and reach the second round.

Although the Thunder lacked Harden, Dewey's second junior was in excellent condition, and the team's role players were healthy and excellent, and they were still the league's favorites to win the championship.They were the overall runners-up last season, and no one thought they would be hacked in the first round.

But regardless of whether the team has a chance to black eight, Shou Ye's worth is played out. He was selected as the All-Star starting center and was once criticized because of his Asian identity. Now he averages 20+10 per game and leads the team to kill Into the playoffs in the West, even Heizi can't open his eyes and say that he has no ability to lead the team.
