On May 27th, Beijing time, the NBA West Finals continued to play, and the Mavericks returned to their home court with a 2-0 lead in consecutive away wins, compared with the first two games to play catch-up, G3 The Mavericks sitting at home still firmly controlled the situation in the case of unfavorable blowing penalties, and established a double-digit lead early, while the Timberwolves continued to improve their defensive concentration and physical confrontation intensity to respond, Lively retired from injury after repeated losses, and the Timberwolves took the opportunity to overtake the score in the second half, and as a result, Doncic and Irving dominated the game again at the decisive moment. The Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves 116-107 to get the match point 3-0.

As soon as the game ended, the broadcaster posted the results of the series of teams with a big score of 0-3 in history, and there were 154 times in history that the big score was 3-0, and none of the backward sides turned the tables.

This means that after losing again in G3, the Timberwolves were almost sentenced to death, and the Mavericks basically locked up the Finals.

So from defeating the defending champion Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals to facing the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, where did the Timberwolves lose?

If the content of the game is deducted in detail, then the coach's ineffective on-court challenge, obvious problems in the arrangement of defensive strategies, slow players entering the state, referee blowing scales and poor offensive and defensive details are all reasons that led to the Timberwolves falling behind 0-3.

But judging from the trend and process of the three games, the Timberwolves actually lost all three games, and the point difference was in single digits, losing by 3 points in the first game, only losing by 1 point in the second game, and losing 9 points in the third game is already the largest point difference in the series.

The semi-finals are wide open

This is the huge gap between this series and the Timberwolves against the Nuggets, in the semifinals against the Nuggets, except for the tie-break of seven points in single digits, only one of the remaining six games is within 10 points, and none of the seven games is within 5 points.

The two teams played wide open and closed because of the penalty scale, and G6 even set a terrifying score difference of 45 points, which can rank second in history.

The West Finals have been played three times so far, with one script

Unlike the semifinals, the Western Conference Mavericks have a deep rotation lineup, and the defensive end is completely worthy of the Timberwolves.

As a result, even if the Timberwolves had an advantage in the first three quarters, they couldn't pull the score for a long time, and they needed to fight the Mavericks almost from the first second of the opening game.

The game is often dragged into the final 3 minutes by the Mavericks, and the G1 Mavericks won with Doncic and Edwards playing better in the decisive moments.

G2 Irving was 1 of 9 in the first three quarters, and in the final quarter, he exploded and hit unreasonable fairy balls in a row, scoring 13 points in a single quarter to turn the situation around, and finally Edwards made another mistake, and Doncic scored three points to beat the Timberwolves.

The same is true of the G3 trend, after Levery retreated from injury, the Mavericks once again fell into passivity, but Irving was powerful in the last quarter, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, Doncic first hit the mark mid-distance at the decisive moment, and then faced Gobert with a shake of his small hand to assist Gafford to eat cake 2+1 to harvest the game.

The playoffs are the stage for superstars

In the final analysis, the Timberwolves lost all three games because of the lack of star quality, compared to the isolated Jokic in the previous round, the Mavericks Doncic and Irving complement each other, and the two will contribute 60+ points per game, regardless of their performance.

In the key G3, Irving and Doncic both scored 33 points, the two combined for 66 points to catch the wolf again, and the two led the team to a 14-1 attack wave to win the final three and a half minutes.

As a result, the duo have scored 30+ points in the same game three times so far in the playoffs, becoming the first starting backcourt duo in the NBA to do so in a playoff year in the past 50 years.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves double-core, Towns has been called the "number one war criminal" so far, with a weak performance of 16 points (6-of-20), 15 points (4-of-16) and 14 points (5-of-18, 0-of-8 three-pointers) in three games.

This led to Edwards facing a "one-and-four" targeted defense for a long time, coupled with Gobert's blocking of the interior line, and the young Edwards did not develop a consistent mid-range projection, causing him to struggle extremely on the offensive end.

It can only be said that the playoffs are a superstar stage, compared to the offensive kaleidoscope of Doncic and Irving, Edwards still has obvious shortcomings to improve, fortunately, Edwards is only 23 years old, and he still has a lot of time to improve himself.
