Celebrating with great enthusiasm, Gobert has once again won the Defensive Player of the Year award, which is already his fourth! Speaking of which, Gobert is really lucky during this time, three big happy events came to the door in turn, not only won the award, and the family added Ding Hexi, but his team, the Timberwolves, is also like a bamboo, showing his strength in the playoffs.
Everyone knows what a monster Gobert is on the court, with blocks as easy as swatting flies, rebounding as if they were just for him, and every time his defense can make opponents feel desperate. No, he won the fourth best defensive player award of his career in one fell swoop, which is simply a grand slam on the defensive end!
Then again, the Timberwolves have really caught up with a good time this season. Gobert has just won a lot of money, and the team has made a good start to the playoffs. At the moment, they have won two straight series against the Nuggets. Now it's okay, the next two games are still at their home stadium, isn't this the right time, place?
But when it comes to the Nuggets, this team isn't having a good time right now. Not to mention that they have fallen behind by two games, their core player Murray was also fined for some small actions on the court, but fortunately there is no suspension. However, in the face of such adversity, the Nuggets' adjustment and rebound are particularly critical. Especially Jokic, as the big name on the team, will definitely have to play his MVP-level performance next.
As for Gobert, although he missed the last game, he will return to the next game. Come to think of it, the first battle after the return of this new dad must be very worth looking forward to. His return is undoubtedly a big plus for the Timberwolves, after all, his excellent rebounding and blocking ability can cause a lot of problems for the Nuggets on the defensive end.
Judging by the current situation, the Timberwolves do have the upper hand. But the game of basketball, especially the playoffs, is always full of uncertainties. If the Nuggets can adjust their tactics in time, especially on the road, they may be able to surprise us. But if the Timberwolves can continue their current momentum, then there's a good chance they'll be able to establish victory over the next few games, and maybe even settle the fight early in this series.
In short, in the next game, whether the Timberwolves can continue to remain strong, or whether the Nuggets can turn around in adversity, it is extremely worthy of the attention of fans. After all, this is not only a contest of basketball, but also a contest of wills and strategies. Let's wait and see what kind of exciting chapter this master's drama will present in the end!
