On March 15, Beijing time, the Timberwolves against the Spurs, the gap between the strength of the two teams is now too large, the Timberwolves successfully exploded the opponent, and finally easily won 149-139. Towns staged a big explosion, scoring 32 points in a single quarter, and finally 60 points and 17 boards, 19 of 31 shots, and 7 of 11 three-pointers. And Downs this battle also brushed 5 major records, not only a new career high, but also a new high in this season's league single-game scoring, Towns 32 points in a single quarter also became the 5th person in NBA history, the 11th time in his career 40+, surpassing the first person in the history of Lefu into the team, and at the same time 50+ many times, becoming the only one in team history.
The Timberwolves have improved a lot this season, and under the leadership of sanshao, they are likely to make the playoffs. And Downs this time more explosive Spurs inside line, he scored frequently in the first quarter, can shoot from the middle distance, three points can also hit, the inside line is a continuous score, a single quarter to get 14 points and 5 board data. Under Towns, the Timberwolves also managed to take the lead. Towns continued to erupt in the second quarter, scoring frequently on the inside, and the Spurs had no one to defend down, and his advantage under the basket was too great, and he had 24 points at halftime. However, the Spurs chased some points and would not give up so easily.
However, Downs was in full swing in the third quarter, directly breaking the game. Towns hit a three-pointer and then made two more free throws. Towns was blown up as a first-class culprit behind him, which in turn boosted his morale, scoring from the basket and then making consecutive free throws. Towns even continued to blast in three points, which was too fierce! The Spurs scored against each other, trailing by only 2 points at one point. However, Towns was still erupting, breaking through the dunk to score, and then hitting another three-point shot, even single-handedly picking the opponent, staged a retreat step of three points, and broke through the layup to score the same. Towns also scored on free throws, then continued to blast in with unreasonable three-pointers, came back and broke through the score, and scored 32 points in a single quarter.
That's crazy, isn't it? 32 points in a single quarter, hitting 5 three-pointers. Towns really single-handedly blew up the Spurs, and Ladus couldn't hold back. Relying on downs' outburst, the Timberwolves also managed to open up the points gap, and it was difficult for the Spurs to chase them back. Towns rested first in the fourth quarter, without Towns, and the Spurs tried to chase the points, but Russell and others responded, maintaining a double-digit point difference. Towns also returned to the court, but because the number of fouls was too much, he only played for a while and then went down to rest. However, Towns came back and made 1 of 2 free throws, setting a career high. Then Towns hit a three-point shot, and finally clocked in to get off work and win easily.
Everyone is paying attention to the battle between Embiid and Jokic, thinking that this is the battle of the first center, and the Towns on the other side can not imagine a big outbreak, telling everyone that the first center battle should also count him. Towns's record was a brutal one. First of all, Downs's hand felt hot to hot, and the outside three-pointer hit many times without reason. It can't be said that the Spurs' defense is not in place, but Towns shot unreasonablely, which feels better than many guards, and even can create his own three-point shooting opportunities, rarely seeing a center play like him. And Towns can also hit the basket to score, making it harder for him to defend.
Now towns are only 26 years old, and he is still in the ascendancy of his career, and the peak has not yet arrived. Now that the war has broken out, Downs has proved himself with his actions that he is not a soft egg. Towns can be said to be a new type of center forward, although he has the size of a center, but there are many ways to score, and he has the shooting feel of a defender. Now with Russell and Edwards around, Downs' offensive ability has also been diluted. Hopefully, Downs will continue to improve and prove himself like Dirk did. When people talk about the first center, mention your name as well.
