It's only about basketball

The Lakers won 0-2 Nuggets, which may have been expected by most people. And the Suns 0-2 Timberwolves, probably came as a surprise to most people.

The Suns swept the Timberwolves in the regular season, so many people automatically substituted the regular season records into the playoffs, and there are not a few people who are optimistic that the Suns will eliminate the Timberwolves. But in the playoffs, a team that relies too much on shooting touch is destined to be extremely unstable.

If the first game of the Sun was lost to Huazi, who was playing with full firepower, then today the Sun is pure and self-defeating, and the level of effort is even inferior to the 37-year-old Conley opposite.

The Timberwolves went on an 8-0 run in the opening game, and the Suns' Big Three missed all eight of their first eight shots. Vogel still didn't make any adjustments after the Suns fell to the bottom in Game 1, which I didn't expect, starting with a small lineup of three guards to go against the Timberwolves' big lineup.

In fact, Vogel can put O'Neal in the starting lineup to try, and you traded O'Neal in the middle of the season, isn't it just to improve the height of the striker? But Allen retired with an injury today, and if he can't play in the next game, O'Neal should start anyway.

Today, the Timberwolves were in average condition, Huazi lost the first half, and Towns was in foul trouble, and he basically didn't play much in the first half. So in the first half, the Timberwolves were the lagging side, and the Suns' old Gordon broke out at the right time.

The Suns rarely gave Huazi a chance to go heads-up today, and two people blocked outside the three-point line, forcing Huazi to pass the ball out. But there are too many powerful people for the Timberwolves today, and McDaniels, who became the main attacker, had 25 points and 8 rebounds on 10-of-17 shooting, with a plus/minus of +24. After a skirmish with Booker, McDaniels opened the offensive valve.

Conley finished with 18 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals on 7-of-13 shooting and 3-of-6 three-pointers. His desire to win was evident from a save that basically lost suspense in the final quarter, when Conley Sr. threw himself out like Rodman, his body parallel to the floor and then fell to the ground.

Suns Today, no one has Conley's desire to win. Before the playoffs began, Conley approached his teammates and said, "Brothers, win for me this time, help me." While I still have gas, go all out! ”

That being said, Conley himself gave his all for every game and round. The last time he went far in the playoffs was 12 years ago, and he was the last jewel of that Grizzlies team, and he had to rely on himself to win.

For a team like the Suns, who rely heavily on offense, averaging 94 points per game in two games is completely unacceptable. They averaged 116.2 points per game during the regular season and were fifth in the league in shooting percentage and three-point percentage.

But in the two playoff games with the Timberwolves, the Suns' offense was fully relegated, and the performance of the Big Three was fully relegated. Today, the Suns' big three each hit six shots, taking 13, 15 and 17 shots, respectively. The three combined for 45 points on 18,52 shooting.

Even more terrifying than the inefficiency was the 12 turnovers that the three men combined for. Every mistake was easily countered by the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves and Suns used turnovers to score a terrible 31-2 in the whole game. The Timberwolves also had 13 turnovers in the game, but the Suns only scored 2 points from the turnovers, which shows how constipated the team's offense is.

The Suns' final quarter collapse is almost their old script throughout the season, and fans are tired of watching it and know what to expect. Because there is no point guard, there is no effective tandem, and all tactics will eventually become singles.

The game was played at 7:51 in the final quarter, and Vogel had already called all the timeouts in his hand, which can be called reverse Hamm. But although the timeout was called diligently, it had little effect, and the Sun quickly surrendered.

The Suns chose to pinch Huazi no problem, but McDaniels of the second point scored casually on the Sun's inside, holding down the gourd and scooping, and the final result was still a sparse defense. Throughout the season, the Suns have not made any progress on the defensive end, which has been disappointing.

The Suns and Lakers are both 0-2, but the Lakers give the impression that they are doing their best and standing up to be killed by the Nuggets. And the Suns feel like they're still playing the regular season, they're still making those low-level mistakes, and they're supposed to be the more playoff experienced, but they don't show it at all.

0-2 is not the end of the world, and examples of 0-2 reversals abound, but is the current sun still have such a heart?
