This year's NBA playoffs are too exciting, especially in the Western Conference, where the Wolves upstarts and defending champions are dragged into a tiebreaker. It is not surprising to steal seven in the Western Conference semifinals, but it is surprising that the Nuggets actually lost by 45 points in the sixth game! The Timberwolves led by as many as 50 points in the game.
Almost in just one quarter, the Timberwolves declared the end of the game, Murray shot 4-of-18 in this game, and the plus/minus on the court was -32. Facing the new wolf king Edwards, he was almost a god, winning both offensive and defensive ends.
Interestingly, the two Timberwolves are likely to be forced to rival each other this summer.
That is, Edwards and Gobert, both of whom are each other's national team mainstays, and in the last Men's Basketball World Cup, Edwards and Gobert represented the United States and France respectively in the men's basketball team.
Unfortunately, the performance of the two powerhouses in the international arena was dismal, and the American team led by Cole directly buried the title of "Dream Team", and the high-profile French men's basketball team was also eliminated early.
You must know that before the sixth game of the NBA playoffs, Edwards also ridiculed in front of the media that if he won the championship this season, he would tattoo Gobert's face on his body, which shows the atmosphere in the Wolves team and how good the relationship between Huazi and Gobert is.
In fact, a large number of NBA stars, and even other basketball powers, do not have much interest in the men's basketball World Cup (formerly known as the World Championship), because the men's basketball World Cup prize money and popularity are far less than that of many regional leagues.
But the Olympics are different, and many of the top NBA stars look to Olympic medals as an important measure of career glory.
At this year's Paris Olympics, James fought for the last game of his career, Curry fought for the only game, and Durant did not miss as the captain of the previous American team.
Two days ago, the U.S. men's basketball team finalized the 12-man Olympic squad:
Led by Janduku, Edwards, Booker, Leonard, and Adebayo continue to play for the national team, and Davis, Tatum, Holiday , Halibarton and Embiid are also on the list!
This is almost the boss of the NBA teams, the "Avengers" who defeated the Tokyo Olympics, and even surpassed the lineup of the Dream Team 1 and Dream 8 teams!
In the final of the last Tokyo Olympics, the 87-82 French team lost to the United States men's basketball team, and after the United States team was upgraded, France, as the host, could not sit still and also came up with the strongest lineup in history.
Recently, the French men's basketball team for the Paris Olympics was released:
Wembanyama – Spurs
Gobert – Timberwolves
Nicholas Batum – 76ers
Evan Fournier – Magic
Bilal Koulibaly – Wizards
Usman Dieng – Thunder
Kylian Hayes (free agent)
Theo Maledon – The Sun
Frank Ntilikina – Hornets
Elie Okobo – Monaco Basketball Club
Vincent Poirier – Real Madrid
Guerchon Yabuselle – Real Madrid
Hosts, France, are in Group B, alongside Germany and Japan, and are seen as one of the most likely teams to stop the United States from winning gold.
Although the German team performed well in the Men's Basketball World Cup and won the championship with Schröder's extraordinary performance, many big stars from other national teams did not play.
In this year's Olympic Games, the German team in the same group faced the French team and was almost powerless.
Among them, the matches in Group B and Group C are more exciting.
Group B: France (silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics), Germany (2023 World Cup winners), Japan, Latvia qualifying teams
Group C: United States (Tokyo Olympic gold medal), Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico qualifying teams
In addition to the French team, the biggest obstacle for the U.S. men's basketball team in the group stage is Serbia......
Those stars who were bullied by the fat man in the NBA are going to join forces to deal with Mr. Yoo this time, it's exciting to think about, haha.
You must know that Embiid is a Cameroon/French/American triple nationality, and during the World Cup, there were rumors that Embiid joined the French men's basketball team.
At that time, ask the fat people to be named one by one, do you go head-to-head, or do you go together?
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, let's play brother.
