Win the Battle of Tennoyama! The Timberwolves are not ready to go fishing rods, and one foot has stepped into the offseason!
The Timberwolves rely on defense to eat, and they can play when Gordon is not there, since these games are insisting on Gobert's defense against Gordon, then we must lock the time of Gobert and Gordon, and it will be Reed defense and Lee Kyle defense for a while, Timberwolves 5 outside is a good way to play, but the Timberwolves are unreliable to play 5 outside the offense, the role players feel for a while, the Timberwolves must have no frame protection outside the 5, Reed and Li Kaier can't protect the frame
And the content of the Wolves' second big win is actually what the Nuggets are most afraid of, and the ball critics on Weibo have made a fuss about Gobert's on-off and said that he should play more or the basket will be penetrated, but this year's playoffs have seen all the way that it is obvious that most people's angles are on the side of the Lakers or Timberwolves
It seems that the Nuggets will be stable and thin in the face of aggressive strong side pinch + anti-catch after the All-Star break, and G2's situation of relying on this strategy to lead by double digits all of a sudden is no longer a small probability event after the All-Star, but as soon as Gobert comes back, it will become a situation where he can play any defense around him but cannot miss him, in fact, the Nuggets are afraid of strong side pinch attacks.
However, the Nuggets want to win more, and they also have more execution and courage to play at a higher level. The wolves are stronger on paper, but they are not mature enough, they are reckless on the court, and the conversion players do not have the heart to play at a high level. But the Nuggets are more mature, more energetic, and more united. In this game, the Nuggets responded to almost all of the Wolves' defensive setups.
And actually after the Nuggets returned to their normal rhythm, from God's point of view, no matter how much the Timberwolves call on their existing resources to match, it always feels a little worse. The people who played against Reed felt that the Nuggets would definitely not be able to defend it, so they could only attack to match. But I feel that my own strength is weak, and the momentum is still strong on the other side, so adjusting myself to fight with others is nothing different from self-infliction
Put the opposite side of the empty basket this point. Stealing the baseline and dunking is too profitable, and the Nuggets are the best team to play, if you don't keep this point, you are not qualified to play against the Nuggets. I feel that I can't go to Gobert because I feel that the Wolves need to strengthen their offense, but the Wolves can't beat the Nuggets to death purely by attacking, or there is no team in the league that can fight to attack and bomb the Nuggets to death, and the key to the Wolves' victory is still on defense
