The fiasco swept the record: Nuggets scored 45 points, only 70 points, the first in the Jokic era, and the three waves of offense were stunned

On May 17, Beijing time, in the semifinals of the NBA playoffs, the Nuggets not only lost the game, but also suffered historic humiliation, losing to the Timberwolves 70-115, a full 45-point gap, which is unbearable to look at. The overall score was tied at 3-3, laying the groundwork for the tie-break between the two sides, and it is rare in history that the team that was eliminated in the playoffs can win by 45 points, and even the usually calm Jokic can't sit still, which is his rare gaffe.

Speaking of this game, those three waves of offense are simply the "stroke of genius" of the Timberwolves. First of all, the 20-0 super offensive, the Nuggets started well, playing a 9-2 small climax, many people thought that tonight was the night of the Nuggets, but the Timberwolves came to a "surprise attack", a wave of 20-0 offensive directly pulled the score and the morale of the Nuggets to the bottom.

Immediately afterward, the Timberwolves did not give the Nuggets any respite, and the second wave of 13-0 offensive play was staged again. When the Nuggets came back to their senses a little and wanted to narrow the score, the Timberwolves had another wave of fierce offense. In the second quarter of the game, Aaron Gordon of the Nuggets also hit a three-pointer, and it seemed that the Nuggets had hope of turning the tables, but the Timberwolves immediately responded with a 13-0 offensive run, which extended the difference to 24 points.

The best is yet to come, and the third wave of 24-0 offensive is simply the ultimate mockery of the Nuggets. The game has entered a dying stage, and the Nuggets seem to have realized that there is no hope of victory, and the main lineup has begun to be withdrawn one after another. However, the Timberwolves were still full of firepower, and the substitute players still performed eye-catching after coming on the court, scoring continuously, and a wave of 24-0 offense not only expanded the difference to an astonishing 49 points, but also completely pushed the game to a climax.

The Nuggets' scoring in this game was almost unbelievably low, with only 70 points, which became the lowest scoring record since Jokic joined. I don't know how many times I have left opponents unguarded, but now I have scored very few points in key playoff games. Compared with the previous matchup with the Grizzlies, he only scored 69 points at the time, but it was the old Nuggets who Jokic had not yet appeared, and now the Nuggets, under the leadership of Jokic, can actually have such a performance, even if it is the championship, there is a day of overturning.

As for the Timberwolves, the 45-point win wasn't just an ordinary win, it almost rewrote the history of the NBA playoffs. In the past, the team facing elimination could win so much, it was the Lakers in 1956, and that time it was a 58-point difference. Now, the Timberwolves have jumped to second place in history with a 45-point victory, and for the Timberwolves, even the championship will have to be subservient on our home court.

Looking at the Nuggets, this is not only a loss, but the most painful in team history. In 1985, the Nuggets lost by 44 points to the Lakers, and that time was heart-wrenching enough. Now, that record has been broken and the loss is 45 points, and at this moment, Nuggets fans may have to turn over old scores and compare which one is more heartbreaking.

The Timberwolves had the largest margin of victory in the playoffs, surpassing the 2003 record of beating the Lakers by 28 points. History always likes to stage surprises, and the Timberwolves are like the dark horses that are not favored, don't look at their usual inconspicuousness, and a comeback at a critical moment is enough. A game made the Nuggets miserable, and directly interpreted the word "slap in the face" to the fullest.

The NBA officially announced that Mark Davis was the referee of G6, remembering the last time he blew the game, Malone and he almost didn't lift the table, and Murray was so angry that he threw the towel and warm baby directly as darts. This time, although there was no major movement, the result of this game was enough to make people feel that "the prophecy came true". Some people say that the referee is the director of the game, and this is not true at all.

Malone and the referee exchanged scolding, and the plot of Murray's towel warm baby smashing at the referee has become the drama of this round of the series. The Timberwolves are as stable as an old dog, the Nuggets are angry, the two sides come and go, not only to compete in skills, but also to fight scheming, in this kind of pressure playoffs, no one wants to just leave the game.

The seven-tiebreaker between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets will be played on May 20, Beijing time. It's a bit hard to say who will have the last laugh now. The Timberwolves have already won quite a bit of a mental advantage in this game, and the blow is double. The Timberwolves only need to maintain this momentum, and one more "gobble-up" performance may really be able to take the victory into their arms.
