G6 of the Nuggets and the Timberwolves, the Nuggets lost in an upset! The process of losing and the result of losing are a little "too cold" - the game did not play with the intensity of the playoffs at all, and for the Nuggets, the direction of this round of the series is a little uncontrollable.
There are 8 incredible things about the whole game:
One is that the Nuggets gave up on resistance prematurely, which is a bit too incredible. It's no wonder that some fans think that the game is not boring, after all, the Nuggets' fighting spirit is indeed a lot worse.
The second is that the Nuggets gave up the G4 and G5 way of playing, and no longer continued to impact the Timberwolves' interior line, but shot wildly outside the 3-point line for a while, and then hit the iron!
The third is that the game between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves is still very "eating" the referee. The Timberwolves' high-intensity defense requires a relatively lenient penalty scale. However, from G1 to G5, the scale has been unstable.
Fourth, although Jokic doesn't shoot many 3-point shots, his shooting percentage is a weather vane. With 0 of 4 shots, then the Timberwolves will have an easier time defending.
Fifth, Gordon is too critical for this series! His play is more critical than Murray's, 12+8+4 is a bit insufficient. It was only at this point that I realized the importance of Gordon.
Sixth, the Timberwolves' successful model is that Edwards can focus on offense, and Towns and Gobert are just working defense. So you won 3 games, and you lost 3 games without that.
Seven is the rebound 62 to 43, which is the key to victory or defeat;
Eighth, watching the game, you will mistakenly think that the Nuggets shoot more three-pointers than the Timberwolves, but in fact, the Timberwolves shoot 15 of 40, and the Nuggets shoot 7 of 36.
Nine is that there are not many fouls on both sides, which may be an important factor affecting the outcome of the game.
