It turns out that the Nuggets really let 2 chase 4? Is the Timberwolves' war criminal Towns or Gobert
The Timberwolves have their own lethal problems on the inside, and Towns has unparalleled strategic value on the offensive end, but Towns' defensive quotient is really outrageous, wasting Downs' top dynamic and static talent. Gobert's frame protection and defense are top-notch, but he can't eat cake except for dunks on the offensive end, and the offense is really bad. Reed was more balanced in both cases, but neither was up to the extreme. Coach Finch may not have experienced this kind of big scene, and he feels that he is a little out of control of the situation, and whether it is right or wrong, what he wants is to be resolute.
The fundamental reason is that the intensity of the Lakers and the Suns is different, the Timberwolves swept the Suns early, rested for several more days than the Nuggets, and were able to study and adapt to the intensity of the Denver Nuggets earlier.
Therefore, the first two games will be stunned by the Timberwolves, one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, wait for the Nuggets to rest for four days, summarize and reflect well, recuperate and recuperate for a few days, and the starters have also recovered, the Nuggets are the normal version, and the true shooting rate of the normal version of the Nuggets starting five will not be less than 45%, which is not available in the first two games.
Gobert defends one, Jokic's shooting rate is definitely more than 60, and the perception of watching the game is how to throw a dozen paint areas, and Jokic is easier to play Gobert than to Towns, and the real shooting rate can be 7% if you count foul free throws. The fact that these two games can be played back is not that the Timberwolves made any mistakes, but that the Nuggets adjusted themselves
Jokic reduced the hard chisel to the basket and did not give the opposite side a chance to rub himself, and Murray's own hand warmed up a little more normally. Facing the historical MVP and the top two leaders, the third and fourth were also the team bosses before, you expect to limit others to that is impossible, instead of desperately entangled in defense, it is better to think more about how to adjust your offense and give Huazi a little more support
In fact, Gobert's biggest problem is not only offense, but not being able to go out defensively, otherwise the Timberwolves' basket is a dish that can be bitten at any time. This is a dead knot, the Nuggets have a big central axis about the teacher, directly hanging the forward line to play without the ball, the Timberwolves do not have a good way to correspond to the defense, and a few transmissions will use Murray's containment to play Gordon's dislocation
In fact, in the few rounds just mentioned, you can see that the forward assistants are looking at Murray, and Gordon is the tactical misalignment that was conceded, otherwise it would be more difficult for Mr. Yoo and Murray to finish. But Gordon controlled the ball over half court and launched, giving the Timberwolves defense one more off-ball defense, in fact, it was not attacking Gobert in essence, but attacking Downs defense, most of Gordon was really missed, and most of the starting points of the leakage were Downs defense.
