On May 11, Beijing time, a pinnacle battle in the NBA ended, the Nuggets directly beat the Timberwolves on the road, and the 200 million superstars who came back from the line of fire, the new DPOY Gobert not only did not help the team win, but also became a negative effect, and the Nuggets' five starters all went crazy with doubles.
And there is a lot of controversy in this ball, Chinese naturalized star Li Kaier was actually given a technical foul by the referee, and the good-tempered Kyle ate T shows that the referee's judgment is very unfavorable to the Timberwolves, and it is aimed at our Chinese core.
What was going on with this eviction round? It's because the Timberwolves have been lagging behind the Nuggets, losing by 8 points in the first quarter, trailing by 15 points at halftime, and trailing by a full 27 points in the third quarter.
So at that time, the Nuggets' offensive round, Alexander Walker was knocked to the ground when he bypassed the screen, and the Timberwolves players in this round felt that it should be a covering foul, but the referee didn't blow it. So they were very dissatisfied, and Walker lay on the ground in pain for a while, and then was ejected for complaining about the referee's technical foul.
Li Kaier was very dissatisfied when he saw that his teammates were being bullied, rushed up and threw a towel and sprayed the referee angrily, chased him and scolded him, and finally ate a technical foul. After this fierce conflict and controversy, the Timberwolves directly made a substitution and surrendered, when there were 5 minutes and 54 seconds left, the Wolves trailed by 32 points, 75-107, and in this round Li Kaier sprayed referee Walker to expel him, and this game was stopped, and he was replaced on the spot. You can feel that the Timberwolves feel very unfair in this round.
And this whistle is really very difficult for the Wolves to play, and there is such a key round when the score is already behind, how do you say this game will be played? It was also one of the most controversial rounds of the game. Of course, back to the game, the Nuggets won the game by shooting all three-pointers from the outside, shooting 14-of-29, which can be said to be the most accurate three-point game in this year's playoffs, and the team's shooting rate is close to 50%. The top five starters combined for 94 points.
Another aspect is that it is completely aimed at Gobert, and their employment methods have been adjusted in this game, decisively choosing Jokic to play against Towns, Gobert asked Gordon to defend, Gobert will let him go as long as he comes out, and Gobert will stay on the inside as long as he doesn't come out, so let Gordon's three-point punishment punish him, it's as simple as that.
But in addition, the referee's decision is also an important reason to change the situation of the game, the garbage time in the 4th quarter also expelled Li Kaier, he only got 3 points, 0 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist, and he didn't even have a foul, it can only be said that Li Kaier was targeted in this game is very uncomfortable, because if he is invested in defense, he can't only have zero fouls.
