The reason for the Timberwolves' loss was found, Gobert was a pure drag oil bottle! Execution suppression, how to win
In the fourth game, the difference of only eight points in this game was mainly due to the Nuggets' final initiative to consume time, reduce the number of final rounds, even if they gave the Wolves points to counterattack, but did not give the number of rounds to overtake, and controlled the outcome of the game. Wolves' offensive performance in the final few rounds was also inconsistent, and the success rate of scoring in the final chasing rounds was not high, and the rounds were not fast. The turnover gave Jokic four points.
I didn't play a press, I didn't play well today, and I was completely suppressed by the Nuggets from the second quarter. The Nuggets have returned to championship level, and the Wolves are not mature enough except for Huazi from coach to player. If the coaching staff is out of recruitment, it doesn't matter if it's chicken soup for the soul or a tactical change! I think this set of matchups has been reversed, not on the same starting line. Because Wolves are not perfect enough.
Gobert needed more time, yes, but it was right before the game. The question is when Gobert is on the floor, the Nuggets can lead by shooting, and the Wolves themselves are frequently unable to score, do you really want Gobert to stay on the court? You can't just see Gobert go down, Gordon has a chance to attack the basket, but also see why Gobert played.
When the Nuggets were leading in the second half of the fourth quarter, should Gobert still be on the floor? The reality is that on the defensive end, Mr. Tunes directly named him, and he didn't defend better than Downs and Reed, but on the offensive end, Downs didn't score any free throws no matter how much he pulled.
Gobert can protect the frame, the Nuggets use you will only protect the frame, Jokic pulls out to play, you Downs can't prevent it, Gobert will definitely lose the frame position no matter whether he changes defense or assists in defense, as long as the twin towers are there, mobility is a big problem, Jokic is not a traditional heavy center style of play, it is very uncomfortable to pull out and play the twin towers, you can only bet on the Nuggets outside projection is all thin, this is the championship team, how can it be sparse, at present, the Nuggets eat Gobert's role to death, unless the formation changes and does not play the twin towers, Improves mobility to suppress Nuggets' projections.
Gobert has an obvious response plan when he is on the court, ask the teacher to single Gobert, or pull Gobert out, 4.5 misplaced, let Gobert's defensive Gordon stand on the 3-point line, Gobert can't get out? If Gordon doesn't shoot 3-pointers, or others defend Gordon, the Nuggets rotate the ball, and let Gobert's defenders shoot 3-pointers, and the experience and execution of Nuggets players are more difficult than the Timberwolves and Timberwolves
