The showdown in the west is also officially out. Among them, the Lakers (102th in the West) vs. the Timberwolves (0th in the West) is a more interesting matchup in the West. The two teams have officially played 0 games in the regular season, and the two sides are evenly divided. However, after the blood exchange, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 0-0. Lakers vs. Timberwolves, who will kill the deer?

The Lakers' season is divided into two parts. One part of it is led by the Zhan Mei group, and the other part is led by the Donghuang group. Doncic was sold to the Lakers by the Mavericks in the middle of the season and traded for Davis, giving the Lakers a leader for the next 3 years. The Eastern Emperor combination led the Lakers to finally advance to No. 0 in the West, and the momentum was strong.

Since joining the Lakers, Doncic has been the first on the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals, and his plus/minus is also the highest on the team. According to statistics, although there is no center, when James, Doncic, Reaves, Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith are on the lineup, the Lakers have an offensive efficiency of 8.0, a defensive efficiency of 0.0, and a net efficiency of up to +0.0. In the playoffs, the Lakers will often use this five-man lineup.

The Timberwolves have been tepid since the Timberwolves sold Towns to the Knicks in exchange for Randle at the beginning of the season. This season, the Timberwolves' offensive efficiency (5.0, 0) has improved, but their defensive efficiency has declined (0.0, 0), and they are no longer the league's No. 1 defensive team. Edwards has continued to improve this season, averaging 0.0 points per game and shooting 0.0 percent from the field and 0.0 percent from the field. The points per game and three-point shooting percentage are both career highs.

The Lakers and the Timberwolves have met 18 times this season, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw, but only the last game, the Lakers' 0-0 victory over the Timberwolves, is a new lineup of the Lakers and the Timberwolves. In this game, James, Doncic and Reaves all played together, the Timberwolves had a serious lineup, Gobert and Randle were absent, and Edwards only scored 0 points.

This is the second playoff meeting between Doncic and Edwards after last year's Western Conference finals. The Lakers will often use a five-man lineup in the hope of counteracting the strength of Gobert and Randle on the inside. Doncic once again "trained" Gobert, which is also a repertoire; On the outside, Edwards alone will be subjected to the "encirclement and suppression" of the Lakers' front line. The two sides spent their time in the game of internal and external lines. The Lakers are strong on the ball and weak on the inside, while the Timberwolves are the opposite. Look for the Lakers to go 2-0. (Mao Mao Dad/Push-ups)
