In the NBA playoffs, defense is very important, and the defensive intensity in the regular season is far less than in the playoffs, which is clear to everyone. A team that has an offense and no defense, it's dangerous, and it's hard to win the championship if it's strong and weak in defense. Because the NBA league now emphasizes offense and scoring, all players prefer to score points, leading many people to ignore the importance of defense. In the regular season, some players don't pay attention to defense and can go all over the world by scoring, which feels good, but when they get to the playoffs, they find that they can't score points or prevent their opponents from scoring, and the problem is infinitely magnified. 12-point defeat! 25-point defeat! The Super Big Three were stunned, fearing a round of tours, and the strongest defense in the league was born.

In this year's playoffs, the Green Army has four All-Star giants, Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, the Clippers have Leonard, Paul George, Harden and Westbrook, and the Suns also have the Big Three of Durant, Devin Booker and Beal. The Green Army G2 defeated the Heat, and in the absence of Butler and Rozier, the Heat team was able to upset the league's No. 1 Green Army, which is unbelievable. The Clippers and the Mavericks played inextricably, and the duo of Doncic and Irving was also extremely lethal, and G2 narrowly won to tie the score at 1-1. The Suns' Big Three is the worst, losing the first two games in a row, trailing the Timberwolves 0-2 and in danger of being eliminated.

Originally, in the regular season, the Suns swept the Timberwolves 3-0, and everyone thought that the Suns faced the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, which was a bonus. Unexpectedly, he became a bonus for his opponent. The Timberwolves beat the Suns by 25 points, and then beat by 12 points. In the first game, Durant broke out and scored 31 points + 7 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal + 1 block, which was not bad, but Booker (18 points) and Beal (15 points) both missed shots. In the second game, the big three of Durant (18 points), Booker (20 points), and Beal (14 points) all shot sluggishly, and the Suns lost again and lost completely.

Fans say that the Suns' Super Big Three were stunned by the Timberwolves' defense, which ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency during the regular season, and they played harder in the playoffs and showed more defensive dominance. Devin Booker averaged 33.7 points per game and shot 58 from the field last year, and this year's playoffs, Booker averaged just 19 points per game and shot just 38 percent from the field (which is a serious decline). Beal is even more exaggerated, with a five-year, $251 million contract, Beal averages only 14.5 points per game. Beal is not as important as the Timberwolves' McDaniels, who has an annual salary of 4 million, McDaniels averages 17 points + 7 rebounds per game, shooting 54.2% from the field, and he is also a defensive giant.

The Timberwolves are a team that wins defensively, and they have a lot of defensive giants in their team, such as Gobert, Reed, McDaniels, Conley, and Alexander Walker, who are among the best in the league defensively. Edwards is a guard who integrates offense and defense, he slashed 33 points + 9 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 steals + 1 block, the Suns can't prevent Edwards' offense, and they can't break the Timberwolves' defensive barriers. In addition, Downs has also gotten stronger defensively this year, with a defensive efficiency of 109.1 in the regular season (36th in the league) and a 97.0 defensive efficiency in the playoffs (24th in the league).

At the beginning, fans said that when the Suns met the Timberwolves, it was equivalent to the strongest offensive spear and the strongest defensive shield. Now, it will be difficult for the Suns' spear to penetrate the Timberwolves' shield, and they will lose by 12 points! The Timberwolves' defense has not only been able to defend the Suns' Big Three, but they have also defended the defending champion Nuggets. In the regular season, the Timberwolves beat the Nuggets by 22 points in a single game, and the Timberwolves and the Nuggets had a 2-2 record.
