On May 17, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets 115-70, chasing the series to a 3-3 draw, and the two sides will decide the winner in the tie-break. Looking at the whole game, the Nuggets led 9-2 at the beginning, but then they suddenly lost power, and the Timberwolves overtook in waves, starting from the second quarter, the Timberwolves continued to press the Nuggets, and the point difference was constantly stretched, and even the Timberwolves had the upper hand in garbage time in the final quarter.

This round of the series can be described as ups and downs, looking back at G1 and G2, when the Timberwolves played a high-intensity defense, making it difficult for the Nuggets to score, this is because the whistle was relatively loose at that time, and the league encouraged confrontation, so the Timberwolves showed their advantages, but the G3, G4 and G5 whistles encouraged offense, resulting in the Timberwolves' defensive advantage at all, which was more beneficial to the Nuggets, G6 We all saw it, and the whistle began to encourage confrontation again, and the Timberwolves seized the opportunity again. To sum up, the league does suspect that it is manipulating the game, after all, playing 7 games is definitely what the league wants to see.

Of course, this kind of manipulation is not on the surface, but through the scale of the whistle to affect the game, if a team is stronger, then it can completely ignore any scale, just like the Nuggets beat the Lakers in the first round, and the Timberwolves beat the Suns, but the strength of the Nuggets and the Timberwolves is almost the same, so the impact is more obvious, so, who can win the tie-break between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves? Let's take a look at the results of the fans' votes.

This is a vote from a domestic platform, according to statistics, more than 30,000 fans have participated, this sample is very convincing, the results show that the proportion of fans who support the Timberwolves is as high as 71.11%, while the proportion of fans who support the Nuggets is only 28.89%, the gap is huge, it can be seen that most fans support the Timberwolves.

The biggest suspense in the tie-break is to encourage confrontation or offense, so the Timberwolves must be prepared for both. In today's game, the Timberwolves did a very successful job of restricting Murray, Edwards, Conley, McDaniels and Walker, as long as Murray passed half time, there would definitely be two people staring at him in front of him, which was very similar to the situation in G1 and G2, but Murray felt cold and shot 1 in 10 at one point.

In the second half, Murray's hand improved, but in the end it was only 18 shots and 4 shots, in fact, so far in this year's playoffs, Murray has no bright spots except for two kills against the Lakers, and there are no bright spots at other times, if the Timberwolves can limit Murray to this extent again, then the Timberwolves can basically win, of course, provided that the scale allows.

Gobert G5 was blown up by Jokic, and the dignified DPOY became a toy, but G6 Gobert's defense is remarkable, and there are many rounds that make it difficult for Jokic to score, in addition, the Timberwolves also made adjustments on the defensive end today, first let Towns go to the top to defend Jokic, Gobert against Gordon, the effect is very good, as long as Downs is online, then his defensive ability is underestimated.

In the second half, Gobert continued to defend Jokic, and the G7 Timberwolves may still adopt such a strategy. In addition to the defensive end, Conley felt hot after his comeback, shooting 5 of 9, causing the Nuggets to dare not go all out to contain Edwards, and Conley is the point of possession and can organize, the G5 Timberwolves have no control of the ball, Edwards is the one who solves the problem, not the organizer.

With Conley to attract defensive attention, Edwards was on fire again, handing over 8 of 17 shots, scoring 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, according to statistics after the game, Edwards has played a total of 4 life-and-death battles in his career (eliminated if he loses), averaging 30 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to average at least 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in a life-and-death battle, the first 3 are Jordan, James and Doncic.

To sum up, we found that if the Timberwolves want to beat the Nuggets, it mainly depends on two points, the first is whether the whistle encourages confrontation, and the second is whether Edwards can play.
