On May 7th, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and today the series between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves ushered in the second game, after the first game between the two sides ended with the Timberwolves winning, but this game Gobert was born because of the child, and finally missed the game, in this case, the Nuggets are also optimistic about winning the victory, but I didn't expect the Timberwolves to use excellent play, let them be deflated again, then let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the players' play.

Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Gordon scored inside to take the lead for the Nuggets, Towns and McDaniels combined to score 4 points in response, Gordon and Jokic combined to score 4 points, Towns scored 5 points in a row, Gordon scored 8 points in a row to help the team catch up with the difference, and then the game entered the rhythm of the Timberwolves, Edwards and Walker combined to score 4 points, Lee Kyle and Monte Morris combined to score 4 points, and the Timberwolves established an 8-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Reed and Towns combined to score 5 points to help the team expand the lead, and then Towns and Walker hit three points one after another to help the team directly extend the lead to 19 points, Murray and Porter Jr. combined for 4 points, Reed stopped the bleeding with three points, Jokic killed inside, and Edwards responded with all four free throws, and then the game became Edwards' performance against the opponent's whole team, relying on Huazi's performance, the Timberwolves led by 26 points at halftime, and Huazi scored 16 points in a single quarter.

McDaniels broke through to help the Timberwolves continue to expand their lead, Murray broke through and responded with a breakaway, Towns and McDaniels combined for 3 points, Jokic hit both free throws, Walker and Lee Kyle combined for 5 points to help the team extend the lead directly to more than 30 points, but the Nuggets were not discouraged, seeing that his teammates were not strong, Jokic stepped up, and he scored 8 points in a row to help the team chase down to 22 points to end the third quarter.

Reggie hit a three-pointer in the final quarter to help the Nuggets narrow the deficit to 19 points, Towns and Walker combined for 5 points in response, and then although the Nuggets still didn't want to give up, the difference between the two sides was too big, and in the end they were powerless, the team lost to the Timberwolves 80-106, and the Nuggets lost both games at home.

The Nuggets collapsed

In this game, after the Nuggets were blown up by Towns and Reed in the second quarter, they failed to turn over, and the key to this problem is that they do not have excellent roster depth, we have said this problem more than once, and even said that the last game they lost because the bench was not strong enough, and they were too rigid to rely on the core which led to their lack of physical fitness, and in the face of the opponent's high-intensity defense, Jokic and Murray were also a little overwhelmed in terms of physical fitness.

Murray was blown up by Edwards in this game, it turns out that if Jokic doesn't block him, he really doesn't have the level of a top star, he is a player who relies on Jokic's system to play, and now the Timberwolves have long arms and high heights, and excellent athleticism, he and Jokic can't beat Reid after blocking and dismantling, and he got 8 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-17 shooting in this game, and was covered 5 times.

Jokic also ate a lot of hot pot in this game, except for him and Murray, the other players on the team have no ability to handle the ball, so the offensive and defensive ends also make Jokic consume a lot, and he is also a little unbearable in the face of the opponent's twin towers, this game is 5 of 13 shots, 1 of 0 three-pointers got 16 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists, Gordon tried his best to score 20 points and 4 rebounds, Porter Jr. only scored 9 points, if you lose this season, the Nuggets should try to strengthen the bench in the offseason.

The duo is on full fire

I thought that without Gobert, the Timberwolves would play very tired, but I didn't expect Gobert to be there, their offense and defense are still very strong, Reed replaced Gobert's role well, and even said that the team was better on the offensive end, Reed shot 5 of 14 in the game, 4 of 8 three-pointers scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, and Towns played very tough in this campaign, all kinds of singles Porter Jr. and Gordon, and got 27 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist in 10 of 15 shots.

Now the Nuggets' biggest headache is that they can't prevent Edwards, Pope and Gordon have tried, and they can't be limited at all, Huazi is now facing no one indiscriminately single, 11 of 17 shots in this game, 1 of 4 three-pointers got 27 points, 7 assists and 1 steal.

Li Kyle can do a little bit of everything, he can tandem, grab boards, defend or attack, this game got 6 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in 3 of 8 shots, plus or minus +15, because his existence also makes the Timberwolves even if they lack an inside line or forward, they will not be affected too much, he makes the Timberwolves' error tolerance better, and Walker scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist off the bench.

Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Timberwolves and Nuggets?
