In this season's NBA playoffs, supernovas have become the main theme of opening a new era, and Edwards, the first-round champion in the West, has established his position as the future face of the league in the series with the Suns, leading the team to sweep the Suns, so that Durant, Beal and Booker's big three became a laughing stock, but in the second round the Timberwolves met the defending champion Nuggets, although Edwards has a promising future, but the vast majority of fans are still more optimistic about the championship Nuggets, but in the first game Edwards scored 43 points, and the first team conquered Denver's Devils' home court, after a full day's rest. The two teams met again, and the absence of 200 million center Gobert once made the Nuggets a more optimistic side before the game, but after the game started, the Timberwolves' super impact directly swept the defending champion's defense to pieces, and established a double-digit lead early, and finally the Timberwolves also bloodied the Nuggets 106-80, winning two consecutive away games, and saw the hope of sweeping the defending champion!
200 million centers are absent, and Downs gets rid of the infamy of soft eggs in one battle
In the first round of the Nuggets and the Lakers, Mr. Jokic was the team's anchor, but in the first game of the series with the Timberwolves, under the care of 200 million center Gobert, Jokic's dominance declined significantly.
In this campaign, Downs, who was in the center position, directly opposite Jokic, faced the MVP Wolves with full firepower at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not only hit 10 shots in 15 shots, and cut 27 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks with extremely high efficiency, but also limited Jokic to 5 of 13 shots, only handed over 16 + 16 + 8 data, and made 4 mistakes.
The Timberwolves went to the skies and broke down the Nuggets' defense
In the last game in the case of Gobert's debut, the pace of the Timberwolves' game was still relatively slow, this one without the tie of 200 million centers, the Timberwolves brought the pace of the game fast, super athleticism, so that many fans felt that the young wolf cubs were flying away, as the head wolf Edwards, his personal performance was still eye-catching, because the game entered garbage time early, so Huazi did not go all out to turn the tide, but he still contributed 27 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.
In the face of the Timberwolves' repeated impacts, Murray, the outside core of the Nuggets, was completely blown out in this game, and the pace and speed of the defensive end could not keep up, so that the outside line of the Timberwolves could always easily complete the scoring when he was marking, and the huge consumption of physical energy and energy also directly led to the miserable personal offensive efficiency of Murray, only 3 of the 18 shots were hit, Jokic and Murray's two cores did not play at the level they should have, and the Nuggets' fiasco became a reasonable thing.
The series lost two games in a row on their home court, which was a very big blow to the Nuggets, and the next game Gobert will return to the Timberwolves, when they will have more options on both offensive and defensive ends to limit the Nuggets' offense, which is also the hope that many fans have seen the Timberwolves sweep the defending champion Nuggets, whether this goal can be achieved, let's wait and see!
