As of May 18, Beijing time, the second round of the NBA playoffs is in full swing, and this year, with the Warriors stopping the play-offs, the Lakers, Suns, Clippers and other favorites to win the championship are out of the first round.
At present, the Nuggets and Timberwolves have come to the battle of life and death in G7, and the Knicks and Pacers also have to grab 7. The Celtics in the East eliminated their opponents 4-1 in two consecutive rounds, and they were waiting for the winner of the Knicks and Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals early, and they were full of confidence in rushing out of the East. The Mavericks and Thunder in the West will start a G6 battle on May 19, whether the Mavericks advance or the Thunder drag into the tiebreaker, let's lock the G6 game. To make a bold prediction, the promotion chart is as follows:
For the seven-game battle between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets, how can the Timberwolves defeat the Nuggets, netizens have made moves.
Previously, at the beginning of this round of the series, the Timberwolves 2-0 Nuggets, fans saw the Timberwolves' strong offensive and defensive capabilities, and believed that the Timberwolves' strength far exceeded the Nuggets, and it would not be a problem to win. With G3, G4, and G5 losing three games in a row, the familiar Nuggets are back, and the resilience and team cohesion make everyone feel indestructible again. But the G6 Nuggets lost another 45 points, scoring the lowest 70 points in team history, and were frantically bitten by the wolf cubs. Seeing this, many people are not calm, and they can't see through who is stronger in this group of duels, is it all strong?
So how can the Timberwolves beat the defending champion Nuggets in G7?
Fans said: As long as the referee does not control the court, the Wolves can beat the Nuggets to death
"If the referees encourage confrontation and increase defensive intensity, the Nuggets can't beat the Timberwolves"
It can be seen from the Timberwolves' wins that if the Timberwolves want to win, they must limit the play of Mr. Yoo, and they must wrap him up and limit his shots. As long as Murray and Gordon don't explode, the Timberwolves have a good chance of winning.
So far, Murray has played in 11 playoff games, hitting only 87 of 222 shots, shooting 39.19%, and only scoring 19.3 points per game, compared to Brown, who played in 10 playoff games, hit 93 of 168 shots, shot 55.36%, and averaged 23.1 points per game, and Murray, who made 222 shots, was extremely inefficient. Mr. Yoo, who also made 216 shots, hit 120 times, with a shooting rate of 55.56% and an average of 28.2 points per game. As a result, the Timberwolves must limit their play and not allow him to score and organize and string teams.
Although Murray defeated the Lakers twice in the first round, but without his sluggish performance, perhaps the game would have been spent a long time ago.
What do you think? Who do you want to advance?
