"The Suns are going to be swept, the Timberwolves, a defensive team, find offense, and the ceiling feels higher!"
The wolf smoke begins to shade the sun
The Suns, once in full swing, were overshadowed on the playoff stage. Faced with a strong challenge from the Timberwolves, they seemed to be stuck in a fog and couldn't find a way forward. In the last game, the Suns lost to the Timberwolves by 17 points at home, falling behind 0-3 and the situation was precarious.
The plight of the Suns can't help but remind people of the ancient poem: "The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings". Booker, Durant and Beal, although the three core players performed well in the last game, but in the face of the Timberwolves' iron wall, their efforts seem to be a little inadequate. The Suns' salary space has been taken up by the three cores, and the path for the next few years is clear, but the current predicament leaves them no time to think about long-term planning.
And the Timberwolves, a team known for their defense, showed unprecedented offensive firepower in the last game. All six players on the team scored in double figures, with Edwards leading the way, scoring a game-high 36 points. Strikers such as Towns, Gobert and Reed have also been consistent and have contributed a steady stream of scoring to the team.
Switching between offense and defense on the green field
The clash between the Suns and the Timberwolves seems to be a contest of tactics and strength. Although the Suns have strong offensive firepower, their scoring ability is greatly reduced by the tight defense of the Timberwolves. At the same time, the Timberwolves not only excelled on the defensive end, but also found new breakthroughs on the offensive end.
Edwards' strong rise has given the Timberwolves more options on the offensive end. His speed and ability to break through make the Suns' defense useless. The stable performance of interior players such as Towns and Gobert also provides solid interior support for the Timberwolves. While the Suns were struggling to deal with the Timberwolves' defense, the Timberwolves' offense came like a tidal wave, catching the Suns off guard.
The Suns' head coach paced anxiously on the sidelines, his tactical board densely drawn. He tried to salvage the game by tweaking his tactics, but every attempt seemed to fail to shake the Timberwolves' defensive system. The head coach of the Timberwolves is much more relaxed, he is well aware of his team's strength on the defensive end, and believes that the team still has a lot of potential to tap on the offensive end.
The scales of victory are tilted
As the game progressed, the gap between the Suns and the Timberwolves gradually widened. The Suns players tried their best, but they were never able to break through the Timberwolves' defense. And the Timberwolves' firepower on the offensive end left the Suns powerless.
The Timberwolves, who led 3-0, already had an absolute advantage. Not only did they keep the Suns helpless on the defensive end, but they also showed great strength on the offensive end. The outstanding performance of players such as Edwards and Towns gave the Timberwolves hope of sweeping the Suns.
The Suns players walked out of the court with their heads bowed, their faces full of disappointment and unwillingness. The Timberwolves players were thunderous with joy, knowing victory was within reach.
Both offense and defense show the true character of heroes
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: "Those who know themselves and know their opponents will not be defeated in a hundred battles; those who do not know each other will know their opponents, one wins and one loses, they do not know the other, they do not know themselves, and they will die in every battle." "The Timberwolves are not only well aware of their defensive superiority, but also find offensive breakthroughs in key moments, and this ability to play both offense and defense gives them an absolute advantage in this playoff game.
The Suns' predicament won't change overnight, and they will need to rethink their playmaking system and roster setup. And the success of the Timberwolves is not accidental, their defensive strength and offensive potential are the result of hard training and careful preparation.
In this fierce playoff game, we saw the tenacity and wisdom of the Timberwolves, and also saw the struggle and helplessness of the Suns. But regardless of the outcome, this game will go down as a great story in NBA history. Because here, we not only see the battle between winners and losers, but also see the charm and passion of basketball.

The wolf smoke was everywhere, and the sun was dark
The green field is full of wolf smoke, and the team of the sun is eclipsed.
Where is the glory of the past now, and the achievements of defeat are hidden in the heart.
The Big Three failed to win, and the Wolves defended as solid.
The attack is unstoppable, and the sun sets and the moon is hard to beat.
Edwards is sharp and dominates the battle.
Downs Gobe is as stable as a mountain, and the inside line dominates and shows his might.
Although the sun has three musketeers, it is difficult to break through this iron wall.
Tactical adjustments are ineffective, and defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Wolves' confidence is growing, and the Suns' morale is declining.
The sweep has begun to appear, and the Wolves are famous in all directions.
Offensive and defensive true heroes, after this battle, he became famous.
The sun will reorganize and wait for the coming day, and then fight the rivers and lakes to write a new chapter.
Sub-heading: The sun is shining when the wolf smoke rises
This old poem sums up the Suns' game against the Timberwolves. Although the Suns have a strong Big Three, they struggle to play as well as they should under the tight defense of the Timberwolves. While the Timberwolves are solid defensively, their offense is also becoming sharper, showing a trend of sweeping the Suns. Finally, with the subtitle "The Wolf Smoke Rises and the Sun Goes Down", it vividly depicts the strong rise of the Timberwolves and the plight of the Suns.
