On May 7, Beijing time, in the second leg of the NBA playoffs semifinals, the Denver Nuggets continued to face the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. In the first round of the game between the two sides, the Timberwolves successfully stopped the Nuggets' offense and finally defeated the opponent with Edwards' excellent play and Gobert and Towns' rotation restrictions on Jokic. In this game, the Nuggets are bound to fight back, and I believe this game will be more exciting.
After the game began, Gobert was absent, Towns was against Gordon, the two were more efficient, and the rest of the Nuggets had no feelings, and the Nuggets fell behind 20-28 in the first quarter. As soon as the second quarter came up, the Timberwolves quickly opened the score with a suffocating defense, and the Nuggets fell behind 35-61 at halftime. In the second half, the Timberwolves led by a large score, and the defense declined, but the Nuggets played poorly and had no hope of chasing points, and finally the Nuggets won 80:106 Timberwolves, with a big score of 0:2 Timberwolves.
Outstanding:
Jokic: In this game, Jokic has a big threat under the basket, a wide passing vision, and the offense is limited and inefficient. Jokic shot 5-of-13 from the field, including 0-of-1 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 16 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists.
Good:
Gordon: In this game, Gordon has a big basket on both offensive and defensive ends, and he is very flexible in his position and tough in his play. Gordon shot 8-of-14 from the field, including 3-of-5 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, to finish with 20 points and four rebounds.
Holiday Performance: Holiday was average in this game, although he was not active enough, but he grasped the opportunity well. Holiday shot 4-of-6 from the field, including 4-of-5 from three-point range, to finish with 13 points and two rebounds.
Fail:
Porter: Porter was efficient on the offensive end in this game, especially with a good outside three-point shot. Porter shot 4-of-12 from the field, including 1-of-7 from three-point range, for nine points and five rebounds.
Jackson: Jackson didn't perform well in this game, with no output on the offensive end and a bad shooting touch. Jackson shot 1-of-6 from the field, including 1-of-3 from three-point range, and scored three points.
Braun: Braun was average in this game, and although he was active, he didn't have many opportunities on the offensive end. Braun shot 1-of-2 from the field and finished with two points and two rebounds.
Pope: In this game, Pope played decently, did not have a particularly bright performance, fell into foul trouble, and lacked performance on the offensive end. Pope shot 2-of-6 from the field, including 0-of-2 from three-point range, and finished with four points and three rebounds.
Murray: In this game, Murray was active on the offensive end, controlling the ball well, but his shooting was cold. Murray shot 3-of-18 from the field, including 0-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, finishing with eight points and 13 rebounds.
Watson: Watson was positive in this game, but the results were mediocre. Watson shot 0-of-1 from the field and didn't score points.
