It's planned
Today, the second fierce battle between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets kicked off in the spotlight.
This game is full of highlights, especially the absence of Gobert, the core of the Timberwolves interior line, due to the birth of a child, and the Chinese player Li Kaier to start in his place, which makes fans full of expectations for the game.
At the beginning of the game, Towns showed a hot offensive state, and he was like a sharp sword, straight into the Nuggets defense.
He scored 11 points in a single quarter, laying the foundation for the Timberwolves to take the lead and give the team the upper hand from the start.
Under Towns' leadership, the Timberwolves are in a rainbow, as if the scales of victory have begun to tip in their favor.
Heading into the second quarter, Edwards and Reed had an outburst.
They are like two ferocious beasts, rampage through the camp of the Nuggets.
Edwards went on a rampage, putting the Nuggets under tremendous pressure on consecutive breakaways, and his shooting was mediocre, but his role on the court was irreplaceable.
Especially in the second quarter, his performance made the opponent feel desperate, and he scored 27 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, becoming one of the important contributors to the Timberwolves' victory.
And the bench lineup led by Reed has also become a nightmare for the Nuggets, he is like a small number of Towns, with rich offensive skills and can be inside and out.
His defense of Jokic was also remarkable, with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks in the game, contributing to the Timberwolves' victory.
Led by Edwards and Reed, the Timberwolves unleashed a surge of counter-attacks that allowed the Nuggets to score just 15 points in the quarter and trail by 26 points at halftime.
In the second half, although the Nuggets tried to catch up, the Timberwolves' performance was too good.
They are like an impregnable fortress that allows the Nuggets' offenses to come back again and again.
In the end, the Nuggets suffered a heavy defeat to their opponents, and the Timberwolves scored a hearty victory on the road.
Edwards was impressive in this game, and his toughness caused the Nuggets' defense to collapse in an instant.
While he made consecutive breakthroughs to put a lot of pressure on the Nuggets, he also showed his determination and courage.
Although his shooting touch is average, his role on the court is irreplaceable.
His performances are a testament to his growth and progress, and a lot of hope for his future.
Towns also played quite well in this game, and he gave the Nuggets a heavy blow at the beginning of the game.
Inside attack, breakthrough layups, and three-pointers at the top of the arc, he is like an all-round warrior who is infinitely powerful on the battlefield.
Although some people think that Towns will be suppressed by Jokic in Gobert's absence, this is not the case.
Towns proved his worth with his own strength, and he contributed 27 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the game, becoming one of the key figures in the Timberwolves' victory.
Reed's performance in this game is also commendable, and the bench he led has become a nightmare for the Nuggets.
He is like a small Towns, with rich offensive skills, inside and out, and his defense against Jokic is also remarkable.
He scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks in the game, contributing to the Timberwolves' victory.
His performance showed the strength of the Timberwolves' bench depth and gave people confidence in the future of the Timberwolves.
Jokic's performance on both the offensive and defensive ends of the interior is unquestionable, but against the Timberwolves' interior line, he has lost his former style.
He had 3 turnovers in the first quarter, although he was more comfortable playing Downs on the inside, but he was only 5 of 13 in the whole game, and he scored 16 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block and 4 turnovers, and obviously did not play his best.
His performances have made people see his shortcomings and have raised concerns about his future.
Murray's performance in this game was a bit less than satisfactory, as he took a lot of shots on the offensive end, but it didn't work well.
Facing Edwards, he was at a disadvantage on both offensive and defensive ends, 3-of-18 from the field, and he cut down 8 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he obviously didn't play to his strength.
In terms of game statistics, Lee Kyle contributed 6 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Conley had 4 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and Daniels had 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Gordon had 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and Porter had 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
On-court analysis shows that the Timberwolves performed well mainly for the following reasons: first, they have a strong ability to control mistakes, which makes the Nuggets' offense futile again and again; The second is that the team played a team game, making it difficult for the opponent to defend, and everyone is contributing their own strength to the team's victory; Third, the Timberwolves have obvious advantages on the inside, which also makes Jokic no longer so dazzling, and the NBA league seems to be gradually returning from outside dominance to interior dominance, and traditional basketball has become the mainstream again.
On the other hand, there are many reasons why the Nuggets lost.
Jokic is the heart of the team, and while his stats are well-rounded, his physical exhaustion has caused him to dip in form in games, shooting just 44 percent from the field and committing seven turnovers.
This had a big impact on the team's offense.
In addition to Jokic, many of the Nuggets' main players have also played poorly.
Gordon failed to show the advantage he deserved on both ends of the floor, finishing with just nine points and three rebounds.
Murray was also average on the offensive end and was considered an "ATM" by Edwards on the defensive end, scoring just 17 points and 4 assists in the game.
The overall sluggish performance of the main players made it difficult for the team to dominate the game.
Defensively, the Timberwolves have players who are good at every position, and the Nuggets are a team that is better at offense.
Not only did the Nuggets fail to contain Edwards on the defensive end, but they also allowed the Timberwolves' other role players to play well.
The Nuggets also trailed the Timberwolves far behind the Timberwolves in rebounding, which also cost them a lot of opportunities to replay.
In addition, the Nuggets' bench players did not perform as well as the Timberwolves' bench players.
Reed's bench lineup has had a huge impact on the Nuggets, and they have been more active and efficient in the game.
The Timberwolves showed great strength and potential in this game, and they proved their value to the world through a vivid victory.
The Nuggets, on the other hand, need to rethink and adjust to meet the challenges ahead.
They need to learn from this game, identify their shortcomings and improve on them.
Only then will they be able to achieve better results in future competitions.
The Timberwolves' victory gave people a glimpse of their potential and hope, and it also gave people a lot of anticipation for their future.
With their own efforts and hard work, they have shown the world what is the real team spirit and what is the real fighting spirit.
Their victory was not just a race victory, but a spiritual victory, a victory full of confidence and hope for the future.
In this era of challenges and opportunities, the Timberwolves have proved their worth to the world with their actions.
With their own efforts and hard work, they have set an example for us, an example of daring to challenge themselves and pursue excellence.
Let's cheer for the Timberwolves' victory, cheer for their future, and look forward to more brilliant results in their future games!
