"We're some tough guys.

Physically and mentally, we are all tough guys.

Damn, I love our guys!"

Timberwolves boss Zeller excitedly shouted to reporters after the game.

He was really excited to witness such a big comeback at his home court.

Such an ending is much better than being swept away.

In the player tunnel, Timberwolves staff enthusiastically greeted the team's generals and coaching staff in the player tunnel, with constant applause.

On the other side, in the away locker room, the air seemed to have frozen.

After Durant finished cleaning up, he left alone.

As far as leading the team is concerned, Du Xiaoshuai really needs to do a lot.

But as Durant himself said, he wants to be the truest version of himself.

Now, he himself needs encouragement from others, let alone encouragement from others.

After the game, comments on the Internet fermented again.

This game will definitely have a great impact on the Thunder's defense of the title!

“Cousins’ absence really has a huge impact!

The Timberwolves completely destroyed the Thunder's inside line!"

"Yes, the Thunder paid for their super lineup.

As soon as Zhou and Durant came off the court, everyone else was at a loss as to what to do!

Their strength is really too weak!"

"Yes, it makes people anxious to see it!

If Kao Shen is there, at least he won't let Da Luo easily appear in the open space and hit that damn go-ahead three-pointer!"

"yes!

We won’t let Zeller get whatever he wants in the paint!”

"Zeller played like the greatest player in Timberwolves history!"

"He is a violent killer!"

"Cavaliers fans: Seriously, today's Zeller looks like an old driver in his prime on the offensive end. Can you believe it?!"

"As a wolf honey, it feels so good to hear the crowd at Target Center being so furious and realizing that the game is going to be reversed."

"This reversal is awesome, holy shit!

Being 31 points behind this Thunder team, almost every team in the league has to explain, thinking "Okay, our opponent is the Thunder, let's go home and go fishing"!

But the Timberwolves didn't, they just chased him back!

Blow up Zeller and Daluo.

The Timberwolves deserve all the respect tonight."

"Lakers fans: Hahahaha, I would actually support the Timberwolves?

What the hell is wrong with me?

This game is so crazy!"

"Celtics fans: I don't want to make a fuss, but I think this Timberwolves are the best team in NBA history."

"Rockets fans: We believe in the Timberwolves!!!"

"Spurs fans: Me too! This game is so fun to watch!"

"Bucks fans: I have nothing to do with Minnesota or any of the players there, but it's impossible for me to say that I don't love this Timberwolves!"

"Spurs fans: What you said didn't make sense a day ago, but now I agree."

"Raptors fans: The other 29 teams in the league support the Timberwolves!"

"Rockets fans: Hahahahaha, everyone gather here!"

"Cavaliers fans: I know I'm going to get stepped on, but I hate the Thunder."

"Warriors fans: This victory belongs to all mankind."

"Raptors fans: This victory belongs to the entire universe."

"Heat fans: This victory belongs to all living things in the world!

Belongs to my brothers and sisters!

Just today!

We are the winners!

Enjoy the moment!"

"Celtics fans: Being a wolf in the last five minutes finally tasted the sweetness."

"Cavaliers fans: Well, I'm different. As a lifelong fan of "other teams besides the Devil's team," the last time I had fun was more than two months ago!"

…

The Timberwolves players may not have expected that a reversal would make fans all over the world happy except Zhou Mi.

can only say……

Zhou Si usually oppresses them too hard!

Amid all the commotion, Cousins' MRI results came out the next day.

Zhou Si exhaled after getting the report.

The worst case of left quadriceps tear did not occur, just a slight muscle strain.

It is not expected that surgery will be required, but daily observation will be required, and the time for return has not yet been determined.

But according to the predictions of the team doctor, there is a high probability that he will not return before the Western Conference Finals.

This means that the Thunder need to face the winner of the Rockets or Spurs with their current lineup.

Logically speaking, Zhou Si should be excited when faced with challenges.

But his mood became very complicated.

Although he hopes to face challenges, it is not the kind of opportunity he gets by hurting others.

Zhou Si knows very well that if strict playing time planning and physical examination are carried out for Cousins ​​​​as in previous seasons, the probability of such a thing happening will definitely be much smaller.

After getting the ring in this way, Cousins ​​can at least secure a big contract this offseason.

Instead of being injured for two consecutive seasons like being cursed!

In this way, Cousins' free market situation this year will definitely not get better.

Prone to mistakes, prone to fouls and burdened defensively... and may become a cancer in the locker room.

To be honest, if Zhou Si himself were the management, he probably would not give such a player a high-paying long-term contract.

However, Zhou Si also decided that if it couldn't be done, he would help this big guy during the offseason.

It's not Zhou Si's own mother who blames all this on herself.

But... Zhou Si really likes to get along with "funny" players like Cousins.

At least it will be fun!

As for it being a hindrance... wouldn't that be better?

…

Two days later, the Thunder gave the Timberwolves no chance in Oklahoma City.

Zhou Si, who returned to the center position, slapped those fans who imagined that the Timberwolves could win three consecutive games and eliminate the Thunder!

Wake up!

I wasn't here for the last game!

At the end of the first quarter alone, the Thunder already led the Timberwolves by 17 points, 42-25!

Moreover, Zhou Si did not rest at the beginning of the second quarter and scored another 15 points in a single quarter!

At halftime, the Thunder already led the Timberwolves by 25 points!

In the third quarter, Zhou Si was still unstoppable, scoring 47 points in three quarters to help the Thunder gain a 37-point lead!

In the fourth quarter, Zhou Si rested off the court. This time, under the leadership of Durant, the Thunder maintained the huge point difference until the final whistle!

138 to 101!

The Thunder easily completed their revenge against the Timberwolves!

Defeated the Timberwolves with a big score of 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals!

After the final whistle, Zeller, who averaged 31.2 points, 12.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists in this series, looked at Zhou Si, who was surrounded by teammates and cheering from a distance, and smiled bitterly.

Although, he knew that this series might end like this.

But when the time comes to this moment, he still feels unwilling.

Living in this era dominated by Zhou Si, maybe choosing to be teammates with him like Durant is the only way to win the championship?
Chapter completed!
