Xiao Hua let go before the game, how can the Timberwolves win? More and more fake, the league controls the field?
Xiao Hua said before the game, the Timberwolves must not win this game, otherwise the defending champion and three MVPs will be swept away. Strange to say, since the Nuggets won the championship, this year's playoff league began to protect the Nuggets, almost every game is 8 to 5, otherwise the Lakers would not have been swept, at least two games can be won
In the first two games, Murray was targeted with the ball, and it was easy to be counterattacked by the opponent if he made mistakes, and in the third game, Mr. Yoo immediately revitalized the Nuggets' offense and defense with the ball, combing the offense on the outside, and conducting on-site teaching mode for the three centers of the Timberwolves on the inside. The Nuggets rushed to the inside first, and when the Timberwolves recycled the inside line, the Nuggets' outside line couldn't hold it down. The Timberwolves' outside touch is too simple, and it is difficult for Huazi to break through the Nuggets' layers of protection when he hits the inside.
The Timberwolves' defense is originally risky, this requires physical strength, the last game has been fought for a whole game, once the physical decline of the defensive action is too large, it will be easy to foul, the Nuggets also aimed at this, at the same time put two main forces to let there be multiple contact points, pull the defense line outside the three-point line, look at the Timberwolves' main shot, it proves the defensive intensity of the Nuggets
In fact, the Nuggets still firmly believe that their tactics are right, but they have strengthened the rotation intensity and speed of expansion and adduction defensively, limiting the efficiency of the Wolves' long-range shooting and interior breakout, and the two-person rotation of Jokic and Murray is still the Nuggets' winning base
But Gobert is not there, how many points the Timberwolves win, and how many points they lost when they came back. The offensive end is air, 4 to 5, and it slows down the tempo, and the Nuggets' shooting percentage has gone up, and his rim protection and defensive role have weakened.
The problem with the Timberwolves is still offense, Huazi and Towns' offense is limited and can't be opened, and role players can't attack. The Wolves' offense is only a few axes, and it is not easy to play on defense alone, and this era has not returned to the environment of the early 21st century, which allowed a team like the Pistons to win the championship.
