Nuggets: The key to winning the Timberwolves has been found! The Timberwolves may break out of the West or even win the championship
The Timberwolves' big outside lock Michael Daniels will really lock Murray and feel that he will be locked up, and the defense is very uncomfortable, and then the tear duct Downs and Gobert will be consumed in turn, and the leapfrog chess will easily make Yue Jiqi fall into the kind of state where he cuts off contact with his teammates alone, that is, Huazi is completely different, Huazi is in this state now, I feel that any team can be played, and a dozen are likely to become a strong team, a stronger kind of star in the duel
If the Nuggets want to win this series, they should learn from the Thunder's style of play against the Timberwolves, increase the pressing of defense, and increase the production of counterattack offense, because the Timberwolves have poor ability to control turnovers, and although the Nuggets have no scoring ability on the bench, their defensive vitality is still okay. Can't learn
The Nuggets and Timberwolves are both big centers plus strong players like Gordon Murray, who are destined not to be fast, this is the law of nature, and there will be no tall, strong and flexible players in the basketball world
The Nuggets really don't have any advantages, playing the Lakers actually only relies on size and age, the Lakers' outside defenders have really poor defensive intensity, but the Timberwolves don't make it so easy for you to score outside.
So it's not necessarily the premise of not getting hurt, but the Timberwolves and the Nuggets do have a game, and both sides are getting stronger the more they get to the playoffs, and the stronger they get to the critical moment.
My judgment is that the Timberwolves are young and vigorous, and if they run around and make many mistakes, they will be easily won by the Nuggets, and losing one or two will affect their mentality, and the more they play, the worse they will be, so the whole series will collapse. Because I watched the Timberwolves fight with the Suns, I do have this feeling, that is, the physical strength is too good, the ability is too explosive, and the rush is too fast. The ball also drops quickly.
