After losing the last game against the Timberwolves, they changed their strategy to defend Jokic in this game. That was to make a decisive pinch when Jokic held the ball in the middle of the line, forcing Jokic to pass, and the rest of the Nuggets players today were very sluggish from the outside, and their overall three-point shooting percentage was only 19%. He shot 7-of-36 from three-point range, which was the reason why the Nuggets lost this game. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are as steady as ever. The Nuggets are an offensive team, and if they can't play on the offensive end, then they can't compete with the Timberwolves.

Today's game for the Timberwolves caught the Nuggets' dead end. It's about not letting Jokic score and letting other players score. This is a defensive strategy that only the Timberwolves can adopt, and probably other teams don't have such capital. Because the Timberwolves rotate very quickly in the half-court defense, when Jokic passes the ball, the Timberwolves can quickly rotate the defense, so that the Nuggets will not get too good shots from the outside. They have such a defensive configuration, so they dare to use such a defensive strategy.

Jokic is something that no one can limit, and it won't do the Timberwolves any good if he is allowed to play as unsolvably as he did in the last game. So all the Timberwolves can do is test the rest of the Nuggets. In fact, the Timberwolves should have adopted such a strategy a long time ago, because their defensive configuration is extremely strong. Because this round of the series Murray's hand is not particularly good. In the real sense, the Nuggets can shoot Porter Jr. alone.

Jokic was clearly holding his breath in today's game, and he left the court angrily after the game without waiting for the final whistle. Obviously, in the next game at home he will do everything in his power to win the game. And all the Timberwolves need to do is continue with today's defensive strategy. Since they can win by 45 points, surely this defensive strategy is very effective, and they must follow through on today's strategy and play steadily in the next game. The next game for both sides will be a moment of superstardom. Hopefully, Edwards and Jokic can form a strong collision and give the fans a wonderful tie-break.
