On May 19, Beijing time, former NBA Lakers player Nick Young publicly talked about the prediction of tomorrow's Western Conference semifinals in a podcast interview: "
Perhaps many people think that tomorrow's Western Conference semifinals tie-breaker, the Nuggets have the home court advantage, they have the right time and place, and they will have a high probability of victory. But my view is the opposite, I think the Timberwolves will have a break tomorrow, especially Edwards and Towns will lead the Timberwolves to eliminate the Nuggets on the road as they did in the first two road games of the series, and finally advance to the Western Conference Finals! ”
"Really, Edwards is playing so well right now, he's the real wolf king of this Timberwolves team, he's been consistent on both ends of the floor, he's got an absolute striker, he's got a big heart, he's not afraid of any difficult moments. And Downs's improvement on the defensive end this season has been very obvious, which has made people change his previous weak style of play, and Downs's role on the defensive end is even more critical than Gobert's! ”
"Although Jokic is still an MVP-level superstar, the Timberwolves veterans Conley and McDaniels in the semifinals are very obvious to Murray's defense, and it is difficult for Murray to score as unscrupulously as the Lakers guard in the first round, which is the key for the Timberwolves to restrain the Nuggets, and tomorrow as long as Towns and Gobert limit the play of the main Jokic, the Timberwolves can advance to the Western Conference Finals!"
