Today! NBA game 2, CCTV5 live broadcast Nuggets + Timberwolves compete for match points, whether Jokic can have a triple-double
On the morning of May 15 (today, Wednesday), Beijing time, the 2023-2024 NBA playoffs will be played in two key matchups. There is no broadcast plan for local stations such as Shanghai Five Star Sports, and China Central Radio and Television will broadcast one of them live on TV, and the two platforms will broadcast live on the Internet and mobile phones.
At 10:30 a.m., in the NBA Western Conference Semifinals G5 (fifth round), the defending champion Denver Nuggets, the runner-up of the Western Conference in the regular season, returned to their home court to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, who won the third place in the Western Conference in the regular season.
There will be three major platforms broadcasting at the same time, namely CCTV Sports Channel (CCTV5APP), CCTV (CCTV Sports Client CCTV5APP) and ESPN and other US TV stations in the United States.
In the quarterfinals, both teams won easily, the Nuggets led by Serbian center Jokic defeated the Purple and Gold Army led by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 4-1, and the Timberwolves with fierce players such as Edwards, Towns, and Mike Conley and the Timberwolves of the Chinese men's basketball naturalized player Li Kaier swept Durant 4-0 and Devin Booker's veteran Phoenix Suns 4-0.
In the first two rounds of a best-of-seven series, the Timberwolves took the lead in winning two in a row on the road.
After falling behind 0-0 on aggregate, the defending champions, who had been cornered, burst out with amazing fighting power and easily won the third round 117-90 to win a respite. In the fourth round, the Nuggets took the advantage in the first half, and then withstood the Timberwolves' counterattack and won again 115-107, equalizing the score and regaining home-court advantage. Six Timberwolves scored in double figures, but Edwards scored 44 points, the highest score of any other player was only 15 points, and Lee Kyle played 0 off the bench. The Nuggets scored in double figures, Jokic, who was nicknamed Mr. Yokic by Chinese fans, had 35 points, 7 assists and 7 steals, Gordon had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Murray had 19 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.
In the battle for match point, can Jokic get a triple-double? It's going to be a big attraction.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the fifth leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals also staged a match point battle, with the New York Knicks sitting at home and beating the Indiana Pacers, and the broadcast platform was broadcast live across the United States.
The series was intense, with the Knicks winning the first leg at home to take the lead. Haliburton's Pacers then came on top, winning two games in a row to take a 2-1 lead. In the fourth round, the Knicks broke out on the road, beating the Pacers 121-89, and the two teams returned to the same running line.
There is not much difference in the strength of the two teams, and it is unpredictable to decide or lose this game.
In the other two sets of matchups, Tatum's Eastern Conference regular season champion Boston led the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Mitchell 3-1 and took the lead in getting the match point. Alexander's Western Conference regular-season champions drew 2-2 with the Dallas Mavericks led by Slovenian stars Doncic and Irving.
What were the results of today's two NBA playoffs? Let's wait and see!
