In this way, the American media ESPN expert group may have predicted correctly, and the Timberwolves and Nuggets are estimated to play a full seven games.

Give you some hope, and then give you despair, this is the gold content of MVP.
The defending champion Nuggets' home court is in the plateau, and they have long been known as the home court of the devil, for example, the Lakers played the Nuggets' home court in a particularly difficult way. However, the Timberwolves handled the Nuggets very well in the first two games, Jokic and Murray were limited by defense, and their shooting percentage dropped sharply, and Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon did not play an advantage against the Timberwolves' defense, which was an important reason for their loss. In addition, Edwards broke out in a row, which gave the Nuggets a headache, Edwards really played well in the playoffs this year, and it was difficult for the Nuggets guard line to defend him. However, the Nuggets can defensively limit Edwards' teammates, such as Towns, Gobert, and others.
Nuggets and Timberwolves G4, Edwards blasted 44 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 steals + 1 block, and the Timberwolves still lost because the Nuggets limited Towns, Gobert, Conley and others to score. Aaron Gordon played Downs, Downs was prevented from shooting 5 of 18, Aaron Gordon himself shot 11 of 12, slashing 27 points + 7 rebounds + 6 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks. Conley shot 4 of 12, Alexander Walker shot 1 of 7, and Gobert only scored 11 points, so the Timberwolves' offensive scoring all relied on Edwards, who was still powerless to shoot 40+ alone.
However, the Nuggets played well in this game, Jokic and Murray broke out, plus Aaron Gordon, their trident together blasted 82 points + 18 rebounds + 20 assists, leading the team to defeat the Timberwolves and tie the score at 2-2. In addition, the Nuggets' bench lineup also broke out, Braun scored 11 points, Justin Holiday scored 10 points, and Reggie Jackson scored 6 points. Jokic and Murray have found a way to break the Timberwolves' defense, both of them shot below 44 percent from the field in their first two games, but they both shot above 50 percent in G3 and G4.
Jokic, as a super MVP superstar, has a strong ability to adjust, he shot 38.5% in the first game, 44% in the second game, 24 points + 14 rebounds + 9 assists + 3 steals + 3 blocks in the third game Jokic 55.6% shooting rate, and Jokic scored 35 points + 7 rebounds + 7 assists + 3 steals + 1 block in the fourth game with a 57.7% shooting rate. That's the ability of a super MVP to adjust quickly. Fans say that the Nuggets have been quiet in the first two games, hiding their strength and giving you a little hope, and G3 and G4 have given you despair, this is the gold content of the defending champion, and this is the gold content of the super MVP leading the team.
In the regular season this year, Jokic averaged 26.4 points + 12.4 rebounds + 9.0 assists + 1.4 steals per game to win the regular season MVP, which was the third regular season MVP trophy in his career. In this year's playoffs, Jokic played even more gorgeous statistics: 27.6 points + 14.0 rebounds + 9.2 assists + 1.7 steals per game.
