The Timberwolves' 26-point lead can be reversed, and there's a lot to say.
The first is all kinds of immaturity.
The immaturity of the head coach and core players led to them being "boiled frogs in warm water".
In hindsight, you may think that the Grizzlies should call a timeout when they play 21-0, but they are "just in this mountain" and the feeling of this counterattack is actually not enough. Usually they think that they can still control the situation, so they don't worry about being overtaken, even if they are tied, they are not afraid, because they can still play.
If I remember correctly, the Timberwolves didn't call fouls when the Grizzlies tied the score. The operation was indeed wrong, but in terms of the situation at the time, this was a sign of their self-confidence.
If the Timberwolves end up winning the game, that's fine, but they're actually cultivating the Grizzlies' mentality by turning them over. This game is bound to be a watershed, stabilizing the Grizzlies' unstable hearts in the first two games, and the Timberwolves are unlikely to lead by so many points.
However, this series is still the most interesting and competitive series. The reason, of course, is that their star-in-chief can still tit-for-tat. At this point, I think Edwards wasn't a little excited enough.
Two consecutive Games Edwards was a little less excited, only the first one was his mood high. When these two games are behind, Hanako is still chasing points with three points, but his movements are not aggressive, like always looking for feelings. That's not enough for the Timberwolves.
Edwards must storm the Grizzlies like Morant and go to great lengths to get the Grizzlies into foul trouble early. Foul is still the main theme of the two teams, normal confrontation, Towns has an advantage over 3J, the first game we can see, the Grizzlies to win must find a way to get Towns, so that Towns is powerless.
After Towns got into foul trouble prematurely, the Grizzlies' inside line was not afraid, and if Jackson was also in trouble, the Grizzlies' offensive focus would shift to the outside, in fact, most of their offense was the outside line. But if Jackson hadn't been in foul trouble, the Grizzlies would still have his three extra points.
Jackson is also important to the Grizzlies, as soon as he leaves the field, the Timberwolves will generate a wave of attacks. This was also verified in the game. So Jackson is also a guarantee of the Grizzlies' output.
Overall, though, the Grizzlies' outside offensive firepower is better than that of the Timberwolves.
Bain's close to 30 points helped the Grizzlies win. Bain's performance in the second game was also the key to winning, and in the first game, Bain was inaccurate.
Predictably, Bane is already familiar with the rhythm of attack and defense, so he may become a stable point. He can score three points, can impact and kill, is the first scoring point for the Grizzlies, and the future is also the scoring guarantee for the Grizzlies. Because of morant's stature, the unstable state may also appear, and the other party must guard against Morant.
With Bane relatively stable, the Timberwolves need one or two people to step up, and Downs' foul trouble will continue. That would require Beasley or Edwards to come forward. In addition, the Timberwolves must not forget their impact and youth.
It's the job of the head coach, and it's the job of Beverley.
Beverley's opening strong-forward Morant was the right strategy, but his low shooting percentage throughout the game caused the flag to be silenced in the second half. Beverley shot 0-of-3 from 5 and shot a total of 13 but only 14 points, not an ideal score. But Beverly should remember that he is not a scoring maniac, in a sense not a defensive maniac, and the biggest role should be to stimulate the emotions of the whole team.
The Timberwolves led by more than 20 points twice, and slowly played back, it was their own emotional problems, the Grizzlies do not have an absolute advantage, they still have to fight with the Timberwolves, so the Wolves' emotions are crucial.
