On Wednesday morning, the West Coast semifinals of the NBA playoffs will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan, when the Golden Nuggets will face the Timberwolves at home. Both sides are strong teams. After 4 games, each side has won at the other side's home court. It can't be described as a fight between gods. The battle at Tianwang Mountain is a game that requires all-out efforts for both teams. Jinpu A fierce fight is inevitable.
The Golden Nuggets, who had a bad start in the semi-finals, managed to win two games in a row, which shows that the team is very resilient. The last game was the Nuggets' best performance in the series. The team made 45 goals in 79 shots, with a shooting percentage of 57%, including 44.8% from three-point range. Alan Gordon 's outburst was the key to the Nuggets' G4 win. He made 11 of 12 shots, scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and his offensive efficiency was quite high. Zujie has guaranteed the team's lower limit. So far in the playoffs, Zujie has averaged 27.6 points, 14 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.7 steals. The above four statistics are the best in the team. His ability Quite comprehensive. Zujie is the most important part of the Golden Nuggets' tactical layout. Whether it is catching the ball and entering the paint area to single out Karl Towns , or being blocked and then passing the ball, he needs to be the connecting point to connect with his teammates. Everyone knows that guarding Zujie is equal to half the battle, but unfortunately the league has not found a way to effectively restrict the Serbian center. However, it should be pointed out that even though the Nuggets have beaten their opponents by a total of 35 points in the past two games, the team's total score in this series so far is 411 points, only 2 points more than the Timberwolves. Obviously, there are risks of ups and downs in the Nuggets' offensive performance. Facing the adjusted Timberwolves this time, the Nuggets still cannot take it lightly. In terms of lineup, forward Vera Gaogaka continues to be absent due to injury.
On the other hand, after four games in the series, the Timberwolves had mixed feelings. The good news is that Anthony Edwards, who is only 22 years old , has already shown his talents. So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game. His super potential is undoubtedly revealed. In addition, after Anthony Edwards scored a game-high 44 points in the last battle, he not only became the highest scorer in the playoffs in team history, but also had 40+ points in the playoffs 4 times in his career. He was also the first player aged 22 or younger in league history. Second most times among players. No matter where the Timberwolves go this season, they will have a place in the league's championship group in the future. It's a pity that a wolf in a pack cannot perform alone. Karl Towns made only 5 of 18 shots in the last battle. He held the ball too much and had poor offensive choices, and his scoring efficiency was too low. Since R. Gobert's comeback in G3, the Timberwolves have suffered losses one after another. They did not perform DPOY on the defensive end because the Nuggets used pick-and-rolls to move R. Gobert out of the paint area, thus affecting his ability to protect the frame. . But after all, the Timberwolves are not just ordinary people. They have achieved results in the first two rounds of the series. The current showdown with the Golden Nuggets is only a 50-50 situation. The Timberwolves will not give up easily in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
