Nuggets 117-90 Timberwolves away!

This series between the two sides turned into a home grave, who dies at home, Nuggets 1-2 Timberwolves.

So do both teams not like to play home games?

After today, there will not be any 16-0 miracle in the NBA playoffs this year, before the Timberwolves slaughtered the opponent every game to make the 2017 Warriors 16-1 There is an inexplicable feeling that it can't be saved...

In 2020, the Nuggets fell behind 1-3 in the first and second rounds, but in the end, they won three games in a row to eliminate the Jazz and Clippers.

Now that the Nuggets have won one game, the next game Timberwolves will also trigger the reversal buff if they play 1-3, and the home-court advantage they worked so hard to grab is gone?

What do you think, Finch, do you dare to win the next game?

Speaking of today's game, it was still very anxious at the beginning, the Timberwolves were still very pressing offensively and defensively, and the Nuggets changed the biggest problem of slow heat in the playoffs this year, especially Murray drove the rhythm of the whole team with various points at the beginning.

This kind of pick-and-roll offense, when did the first two games at home go so smoothly, isn't this kind of ball only available to Lakers defenders to block and break offense?

Murray's smoothness also led the team's offense, and the Nuggets didn't make their first turnover until five minutes left in the second quarter.

Compared to the Nuggets, the Timberwolves were not so good today except for the first few minutes of the opening game. On the one hand, the team has greatly improved its offensive means when the series has not yet lost, and frequently increased three-point shots. He made 20 three-point attempts in the first half and hit just six of them.

In the last game, they only made 17 three-pointers when they had a better hand and more rounds and shots.

On the other hand, today's referee's blowing penalty is obviously much tighter than the previous two games, which does not mean that the whistle is biased, because from the perspective of the field, the blowing scale is the same for both sides, but the tightening of the blowing penalty will obviously make the Timberwolves' upper body defensive strategy become very passive, and before the game entered the fourth quarter, except for Conley and Towns, the three main defenders fouled 3 times.

Edwards was full of aggression and defense in the first few games of the playoffs, and today there were rare scenes of a few defensive fouls being whistled and questioning the referee.

Even commentator Mark Jones said, "It obviously feels like the rhythm of the blowing is a little different today." ”

In fact, Edwards is not in bad shape today, as soon as he opened the game, he gave Porter a pegboard hat, which was really shocking, and his own hand was not bad, with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game.

But if the two sides inevitably enter into a confrontational game, this kind of data is obviously not enough. After all, his opponent is Jokic, one of the strongest offensive weapons in NBA history, and if he fights against the Nuggets, Edwards must be possessed by Jordan to cut 40+ to have a chance. (At least the intensity of the regular season against the Pacers was 44+6+3)

In the first two games, the Timberwolves put Mr. Yoo into a solo battle in the first game, and in the second game, not only could not connect his teammates, but he couldn't even find his rhythm.

And today's Jokic is directly full of firepower, you can't stop me from attacking, and you can't stop me from tandem. Jokic was 10-of-18, 1-of-3 three-pointers, 3-of-4 free throws, and scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, with a plus/minus of +30. It can be said that he has achieved his own winning state: quasi-25+15+10 mode.

He also completely activated his good partners Gordon (13 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists) and Murray (24 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists).

In the first two series, Gordon scored 3 three-pointers, and in this game, Gordon scored 3 three-pointers in 4 minutes in the third quarter to completely kill the game.

The Nuggets led by 15 points at halftime and 27 points in the third quarter, and the game quickly went into garbage time...

The series has been pretty good so far, but it's more of a tactical probing, but it's not a good sight, except for the first one, the last two have had one and a half quarters of garbage time.

In this game, although the Nuggets are still 1-2 behind, they have three major advantages, one of which is that this game can be said to be won without much consumption, and the Timberwolves have not been able to take out a little hole card from the Nuggets.

The second is that the injury status of Timberwolves backup guard Alexander Walker is unknown, and he is one of the most important players for the Timberwolves to contain Murray.

The third is that Gobert has become a "dare not use" trouble for the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves' last win was due to Gobert's absence, the team had no choice but to play a small lineup, but it unexpectedly achieved miraculous results, and the guards opened up the point difference by pressing the defense to create ball conversion.

But if Gobert is on the floor, the whole system is still biased towards the positional squatting and defensive posture, once it enters the offensive-dominated situation, Gobert is very constipated on the offensive end, and today's Gobert has 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and he is on the field in two words: embarrassing.

No, everyone else has become stronger when they have babies, why is Goebel getting stronger?

In the last 5 minutes of the game, after the Timberwolves replaced the main team, Edwards said and laughed that from a psychological point of view, Huazi is still very relaxed, and he is looking forward to his Jordan-style performance!
