Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Edwards and Towns played a 9-0 start, and the Nuggets relied on Gordon's inside kill to open the situation, Edwards and Gobert scored successively to help the team lead by 14 points, but then Porter Jr. and Jokic scored successively to help the Nuggets take a 2-point lead in the first quarter. Although the Timberwolves caught up with the difference in the second quarter under the leadership of Edwards, Jokic scored four points in a row at the end of the quarter to help the team stabilize the four-point lead and end the first half.

Murray and Porter Jr. hit back-to-back three-pointers to help the Nuggets establish an eight-point lead at one point, and then Edwards turned on his own mode, and he hit back-to-back mid-range shots to help the team overtake by two points to end the third quarter. The final quarter of the showdown between the two sides was still very close, Nazrid scored seven points in a row to help the team establish a five-point lead, Jokic hit a three-point shot to stop the bleeding, and then the game entered Edwards' time, he made consecutive kills to help the team establish a nine-point lead, and the game also lost suspense, and finally the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets 106-99 and got off to a good start.

Edwards was too puzzled

After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, this game Downs shot 8 of 13 in the game, 2 of 4 three-pointers got 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 data, just looking at the data is really good, but his control of fouls is too poor, all kinds of brainless low-level fouls in the game, because there are too many fouls He only played for 28 minutes, the team is not the strongest most of the time and the Nuggets are competing, 4 years 224 million center, is he worth it?

Gobert faced the defense with Jokic, his performance was not good, he got 6 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 3 of 5 shots in the game, and both offensive and defensive ends were suppressed, but Gobert's play in this game was quite reasonable, after all, he made Jokic play very inefficient on the offensive end, if you just look at the data, this 5-year 205 million center did not play the data at all.

However, the Timberwolves still have a third tower, although Jokic broke up the 400 million interior combination, but the heroes can't stand the wolves, Reed, the third tower, became the team's wonder in the fourth quarter, shooting 7 of 11 from the field, 2 of 4 from three-point range, and got 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Edwards showed a super standard in this game, shooting 17 of 29 from the field, 3 of 7 from three-point range, with 43 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

In this game, Edwards proved his potential, he has the dominance that is not inferior to the league's first-line stars, and the Timberwolves also have excellent roster depth to help him hit the championship, although the 400 million twin towers only scored 26 points, but the team also has a group of good enough role players to help Huazi, in addition to Reed, Conley scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, the offensive end is a good combing offense, and the defensive end limits Murray.

Nuggets go the old way of the Suns?

Although Jokic scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals in this game, he did not play easily, facing the opponent's three towers in turn, which can't help but remind people of the 15-year Cavaliers, James was dreamed, Iguodala and Barnes took turns to consume the scene, the other two stars of the team in this game also helped Jokic, but still never played, and the Nuggets' collapse looks very similar to the original Suns.

In the series between the Suns and the Timberwolves, they often collapsed in the third or fourth quarter, and the Nuggets in this game were also the same, and they were crushed by Reed and Edwards scoring in the last six minutes. The reason why they can't stand it is because of their physical fitness, the Nuggets, like the Suns, have limited roster depth, the bench can not help the team much, and the Timberwolves' defense is terrifying enough, so it is difficult for role players to play, and they can only rely on the core to exert their strength.

In this game, Gordon scored 9 points and 6 assists, Pope scored 6 points and 3 assists, and they didn't play very well. And the other two cores of the team tried their best, Porter scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, Murray blocked the opponent's layers of blocking, and scored 17 points and 4 assists on 6-of-14 shooting.

If no changes are made, it is estimated that the Nuggets will follow the old path of the Suns, and then how the Nuggets will adjust.
