Heard that Gobert perfectly restrained the Nuggets system? The Timberwolves can only do their best to obey their fate
Reed's defense is not as good as Downs', and he can't stop Mr. Yoo from pushing down the basket, he is better than Downs is the one-on-one defense of others, after all, Downs is a typical center, Reed is not. In fact, the biggest problem is in Gobert, especially when he wants to chase points in the second half, he should replace Gobert, who lacks offensive means and is not allowed to shoot free throws.
Gobert is useful when he is tied or leading, and when he needs to chase points, he doesn't understand what to leave him to do on the court. And Gobert, the best defensive player, can really defend against Mr. Yoo? Today, when he and Teacher Yue were directly opposite, he looked stupid.
However, the meaning of tactics lies in overload, that is, local advantage. The Timberwolves' defense in the first two games is due to the good defense overload. Nuggets Yomu likes to block and dismantle in the middle, because Mr. Yomu is good at using a team with a normal body to prevent it, and he has an advantage on both sides of the middle block. But the Timberwolves' size is not afraid, and their overload in the middle makes it difficult for the Nuggets to handle the ball. So the loss is ugly
These two games came in the Nuggets adjusting their offensive overload direction. It's all cleared to the bottom corner. Don't hit the middle lane. This makes it impossible for the Timberwolves to overload their defense very effectively (you have too far to defend from the strong side, and you are exhausted with a horizontal pass), which gives the Nuggets plenty of room to operate.
This kind of play basically abolished Gobert, against Mr. Yomu, Yomu points you on the weak side, and Downs has a poor defensive effect. Don't make an appointment with the teacher, people pull you to the strong side, you have to help defend, people pass, and the strong side of the attacking side is directly overloaded. If you don't help defense, the weak side of Yomu is misplaced.
Well, Yomu blocking and dismantling is recognized by the NBA as a relatively unsolvable tactic. The main reason is that the ability of the teacher to use local advantages is too strong. Both the ball and the shot are close to perfection. The Nuggets' bottom line is overloaded, and basically the wolves can only do their best to obey the fate of God. If you want to win, the key is Downs' offense.
