The Nuggets tied 2-2 illustrate 4 facts: the Lakers are not weak, and Gobert is more famous than real

In the first round of the playoffs, the Nuggets' opponent was the Lakers, and they advanced with a disparity of 4-1 at that time. But now it seems that the Nuggets are too strong, and when they lost the first two games of the series or at home, they were able to stubbornly chase 2-0 on the road. And G3 and G4 both won relatively easily, not only cracking the Timberwolves' defense to play their own offense, but also restricting the Timberwolves' defense.

Now it seems that it is not easy for the Lakers to lead the Nuggets by half a court in every game of the series. Not to mention that the Nuggets won 4 games and 2 of them relied on dribbles to kill them, but if these two goals are less than one, the Nuggets and Lakers may have to play a tiebreaker. Therefore, the real strength of the Lakers should be the level of the upper half of the West.

Gobert is really overrated, and this season, he won the Defensive Player of the Year again, the fourth time in his career, and is the first active defensive player in terms of honors. But in the contest with Jokic, he was completely at a disadvantage, and in the three games he played, he let Mr. Jokic get 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, 24 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists, 35 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, which did not limit Mr. Jokic at all. On the contrary, it was the game in which Gobert was absent because his wife gave birth to a child, and let Downs and Reed come to defense, and Mr. Yoo only scored 16 points. At the same time, Gobert is on the court, the Timberwolves' offense is still seriously blocked, only 6 points in 2 of 3 games, and the Nuggets players know that Gobert can only score under the basket, so he is well restricted, which is equivalent to the Timberwolves' offensive end is 4 to 5. can't prevent it and can't attack it, Gobert is really more famous than he is, and he is really sorry for his salary of 40 million.

The Nuggets are still the strongest team in the West, and even in this year's playoffs, and the defending champions have the foundation, strength, and luck is not bad, which means that the right time and place are on their side. As long as the Timberwolves are passed, the Nuggets should be able to lock up the Finals and even the championship.

Edwards must be a superstar in the future, he scored another 44 points in this game, the second time in this series, and continued to set a new record for single-game points in the playoffs in the history of the Timberwolves. Colleague, Edwards also united his teammates, even if Downs performed poorly, but Edwards still supported Downs to continue to shoot in the interview, and said that the team needed him to do so. It can be seen that Edwards has completely played the role of the leader of the team, and the whole team is very convinced of him. The score was tied and he was not discouraged, but said that the series will not be so simple, and they will fight back and we will too, ready for the next game.
