1-3 Desperate situation! The three fatal injuries of the Timberwolves are exposed. Can the last battle be changed against the will of heaven?

The summer 9-for-1 got Randall's heavy deal, and it was like a hideous scar at this moment. The defensive player who was exchanged for Towns was sent away, and the Timberwolves rebound protection rate plummeted from third in the league to 15th. What's even more ironic is that Towns, who was criticized by New York fans, averaged 26+10 per game in the Eastern Conference Finals. Reed, who held a 4-year, 110 million contract on the bench, lost all three-pointers tonight, which made the sideline commentator couldn't help but complain: "This premium contract is enough to buy the entire maple syrup production of Minnesota. "

This 23-year-old genius is experiencing superstar purgatory. The series' 35.7% shooting percentage hit a career low. When G4 faced Dort's defense in decisive moments, he broke the ball 5 times in 8 breakthroughs. But the broadcast footage captured intriguing details: when Alexander hit a perfect shot, Edwards stared at the technical statistics screen and took the "20 mistakes" numbers with his mobile phone. Legendary Garnett supported on the podcast: "I stayed in the training hall for two weeks after being swept by the Lakers. "

3. Coach Finch's life-and-death bet

The coach's locker room has two numbers circled: 63 mistakes in the series, and the opponent scored 31% of the points. G4 made a big bet on five small lineups in the last 2 minutes, although Walker made three consecutive three-pointers, it also caused the Thunder to grab three offensive rebounds in the interior. Senior tactical analyst Hollinger pointed out: "They are imitating the Warriors' death five-small in 2022, but they forgot that they did not pursue the dream Green's defensive IQ. "

When the Timberwolves' bench scored 45 points to a playoff high, the plus and negative values ​​of the five starting tigers totaled -38; when Edwards was in a double-team dilemma, Alexander on the opposite side used 11 mid-range jump shots to teach what it means to "kill and kill the heart"; what's more cruel is that the Thunder team only made 5 mistakes in G4, which happened to be the number of mistakes in the first quarter. This dramatic nature of ice and fire hedging made O'Neal play the "missing music" game in TNT live broadcast room - every time the Timberwolves make a mistake, he will shoot the cake on Barkley's face. On the night of G5 five days later, the target center dome will hang a huge poster of Garnett leading his team into the Western Finals in 1997. Historical data shows that the probability of a 1-3 NBA playoff lag behind 1-3 is 4.3%, but the Cavaliers in 2016 and the Nuggets in 2020 have created miracles. Edwards' additional practice video at 2 a.m. has gone viral on social media, and the final image flashed through the blood-red words on the tactical book: "Either create history or become history!"
