Clippers faced an old rival in the first round, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had defeated them once during the regular season.
This might be the season that Westbrook was fated to.
Just like averaging a triple-double, just as tough bringing the team to the playoffs, but unlike the main timeline, he would not win the MVP due to the triple-double average.
"Lars, is everything okay?"
Westbrook averaged 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Timberwolves, leading his team desperately into the playoffs only to end up quickly eliminated after possibly making the All-NBA team. How cruel does that sound?
Yet, Westbrook ignored the GOAT's kindness: "We've beaten you in the regular season, we can beat you in the playoffs too!"
Yu Fei nodded: "I admit there's a 0.1% chance of that happening."
The rest was up to the game.
True, the Timberwolves had beaten the Clippers in the regular season, but that was when most of the Clippers players were not in optimal condition.
