Winning night.
Minneapolis is not the same as usual. After the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 4-1, the fans here went crazy.
Not only the fans, but also many citizens also joined in the revelry. Many people appeared on the streets, and they all shouted excitedly as soon as they heard the news.
The TV station also received the news, so it inserted the news in the shortest possible time and also played the previously prepared highlights.
In the team's locker room, the players have finished changing, but they are still blocked by reporters and unable to get out.
The players had tried their best to restrain themselves, but there were still many young people who couldn't help but have fun in the locker room.
"Zhao, what do you think of you winning the entire series?"
Amidst the noise, the reporter came to Zhao Feiyang and handed him the microphone to start the interview.
Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry, and pulled the reporter aside to a quieter place before responding seriously and unhurriedly, "Uh... I'm glad that we won the series. We met a very good team. opponents, but we all defeated them..."
"Next we have to play in the Western Conference Finals, which has never been attempted for us... I believe it will be a very interesting journey. Of course, I must add: When we advance to the NBA Finals, Come interview us again during the finals!”
The reporter also smiled because of Zhao Feiyang's words.
"I'm looking forward to that time too! But do you really think this team can beat the Golden State Warriors or the Oklahoma City Thunder?"
"Of course. We will definitely reach the finals. This is our goal throughout the season! It is also what all of us will do next..."
"I have one last question."
The reporter took the initiative to get closer. The sound in the room was so noisy that he could hardly hear Zhao Feiyang's answer.
However, what the reporter did not expect was that after he asked this question, the originally restless scene suddenly became silent.
"Unfortunately, both Zach and Kevin were injured in this game. I don't know how serious their injuries are now. If they are unable to compete next time, will this have a big impact on you?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone became quiet and calmed down, and many players also suppressed the smiles on their faces.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the reporter and Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang also looked at his teammates, then picked up the microphone and responded to the camera, "Zach and Kevin are our core players... In fact, I like our team very much. Here, regardless of The absence of anyone will have a great impact on us..."
"We all hope that they will be safe and return to the team as soon as possible..."
The interview is officially over.
Reporters were also asked out of the locker room.
After only the players were left in the locker room, Zhao Feiyang also called his teammates together. As the leader of the team, he needed to stand up and speak at this time to give everyone a more precise direction.
"Guys, I'm happy that we have reached the Western Conference Finals... However, the time for us to celebrate has not yet come. We will have a tough battle next, whether our opponent is the Warriors or the Thunder in the end, We must all try our best to defeat them..."
"It would be great if Zach and Kevin can come back, but if not, we have to cheer up... Our advantage now is that we have enough time, we can rest longer..."
"Before the Western Conference Finals, we have ample opportunities to study our opponents and make targeted plans..."
After hearing Zhao Feiyang's speech, all the players nodded in agreement.
After he led the team to a good record one after another, Zhao Feiyang has used his leadership to completely establish himself in the team.
His prestige is also reflected through a series of games.
Therefore, no one expressed any objection, even the team coach Norman Thomas stood aside and expressed his acquiescence.
Although Dwight Howard is also another core member of the team, he initially hoped to become the team leader, but after experiencing so many things, he is no longer the person who only knew how to mess around at the beginning of the season.
No matter what Howard thinks about Zhao Feiyang's status in the team, he must admit that Zhao Feiyang is indeed the team leader.
There is no doubt about this.
Finally, all the Timberwolves players put their hands together, and under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang, everyone swore their future goals.
Not only did the Timberwolves' cohesion not dissipate due to the injuries to the two generals, it actually improved to an unprecedented level.
At the same time, the fact that the Timberwolves advanced to the finals first became big news and soon spread to other cities in the league.
Especially the other teams that were going through the semifinals had different reactions after learning that the Timberwolves defeated the Trail Blazers 4-1.
The other two teams in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder, are inextricably tied.
When the two teams reached the fifth game, it became 3-2, and the Warriors won the match point. But even so, the strength shown by the Thunder cannot be underestimated.
The Warriors were able to sweep every other team, but they couldn't do it against the Thunder. The strength displayed by the Thunder's two youngsters also made this matchup look even more suspenseful.
The other two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors played 2-3. The Heat, who had previously led, were a little weak in the second half. Not only did they fail to maintain their lead, but they were also beaten by the Raptors. To overtake.
After the Raptors got the match point, many people in the industry also began to look down on the Heat. Fans who originally hoped that the team would reach the Eastern Conference finals had a bad premonition.
In addition to these four teams still participating in the semi-finals, the other two teams are completely different.
As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their game against the Atlanta Hawks has ended long ago! Even earlier than the Timberwolves.
The strength of the Big Three is obvious to all. The Atlanta Hawks' strength is really not comparable to theirs. Indeed, it only took four games for the two sides. The Hawks were directly swept out by the Cavaliers.
Such a strong style of play also made the Cavaliers the first team to advance to the finals.
The role played by the Big Three in this series surprised many fans outside.
More importantly, they are much better than the Cavaliers last season. Even if the teams in the East are always weaker than the West, it is hard not to believe that the Cavaliers have a chance to win the championship. Win the championship.
