On May 1, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves again at home with 96:103. In this game, Redick made an incredible center-free lineup and wanted to get a glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly he was dominated by Gobert's large double 20. This game of 103:96 helped the Timberwolves sweep the Lakers 4:1, which also brought good news to the three teams:

First of all, the Warriors. Judging from the regular season record, the Warriors are not afraid of the Timberwolves' impact, but instead are worried about the forward impact effect led by James and Doncic in full form. After all, the Lakers prefer opponents with weak inside lines, and this time the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers and gave the Warriors a big gift.

followed by the Timberwolves. Today, Redick's crazy height drop did not make the Timberwolves panic. On the contrary, they even played a shooting competition with the Lakers. Edwards made 0 of 11 shots from the outside, and the team made 7 of 47 three-pointers. With such a hit rate, he still won the ball, which was a big gift. Edwards hit the key goal in the last 2 minutes and ended the game for the third time.

Finally, this defeat also gave the Lakers a big gift, and they were finally relieved. As the third in the West, they had a home advantage, but Doncic was beaten by a bad stomach in the away game and made the Lakers easily hand over the G3. James was angry that he was not fighting but could do anything about it. He only scored 20 points in this game, with the worst -14 efficiency value of the team, and he did not lead the team to complete the miracle in the end. Of course, Doncic can go home for vacation this time.

It is worth mentioning that James only had 6 free throws in this game that was about the Lakers' elimination, and Reeves, who had excellent performance in the regular season, made 0 free throws in this game. When he was the new king, the league's intention was clear, and the referee no longer helped the Lakers. James' first season of cooperation with Doncic ended like this.

newcomer advances. Next, for the veteran, it depends on Curry and Butler.
