Before the start of this series, the Timberwolves and Nuggets were expected to be high, and both teams were seen as favorites to break out of the West.
Now that the robbery is coming, it is in line with the expectations of the outside world, but the result is guessed, but no one can guess the process.
In the first six games of the series, the two sides beat their opponents early in five games to bring the game into garbage time, and only the G4 score difference was within 10 points.
is so "strong and weak are not clear", and it does make everyone a little confused, maybe this is the master's trick X blood bar?
Edwards used a super performance of plus/minus +43 to fulfill the promise he made with the Nuggets staff after the last game in Denver: see you G7!
The cornered Timberwolves abused the defending champion by 45 points & the difference once reached 50 points, and the Timberwolves also gave the Nuggets the largest point margin loss in history.
The 70-point score is the lowest in the history of the Nuggets in the playoffs, and the Nuggets' bench play is particularly eye-catching.
The seven benches scored just nine points in the game, and even more outrageously scored seven points in nearly 10 minutes of garbage time.
The Timberwolves' three towers, who were beaten by Jokic in the last game, also found their way back to the court this game (the three combined for 28 points, 38 rebounds and 8 assists), while limiting Jokic's overall shooting rate to less than 50% on the defensive end.
It is worth mentioning that the Nuggets had three playoffs during the Jokic era with no more than 80 points per game, and all of them were against teams with Gobert.
Looking at it this way, the four DPOYs don't seem to be so unbearable......
Of course, the most important reason for the wild victory in this game is that the Timberwolves made strategic adjustments to Jokic, keeping Mr. Jokic away from the near basket and letting others shoot.
Porter Jr., Gordon, and Murray, who performed "war criminals", this game is somewhat like the performance of the Thunder stars yesterday.
And Conley's return to the line of fire also made the Nuggets dare not easily contain Edwards, and Huazi was able to play G1 and G2 again. At the same time, McDaniels' outburst also caught the defending champions by surprise.
All in all, it was a complete Timberwolves-style victory, but the final outcome of the humiliated Nuggets returned to Denver in G7 is still unknown.
Is it a tyrannical situation of "hurting each other", or is it a scorching battle situation where you come and go? There's no denying that this will undoubtedly be a great series to remember.
