From a 42-point victory to 1-3 on the verge of being eliminated! The Timberwolves dual cores are bizarrely "invisible", and the substitute magic weapon cannot be carried.

On a night, Minnesota fell from a carnival into an ice cave! In the Western Conference Finals G4, the Timberwolves were reversed by the Thunder 126-128 at home, and their lives were hanging on the line in the series 1-3. Who would have thought that the wolf pack that just slaughtered his opponent with 42 points three days ago was "back-stinged" by his two core members in this game? Edwards and Randle's outrageous performance of 6 of 20 shots and 10 mistakes made the fans stunned!

The game was weird at the beginning - Edwards, who shouted MVP, made only one move in the first quarter, and scored 4 points in the halftime, which was like a sleepwalking; and the maximum-salary insider Randle was completely "missed", with only 1 goal in seven shots, and the shabby data of 5 points and 7 rebounds was not worth more than 1 billion yuan. On the other hand, the Thunder two stars killed the whole game: Alexander scored 40 points and was like entering a no-man's realm, Jaylen Williams scored 34 points and saw the swordsman's blood. The two scored 74 points together and directly defeated the Wolves' defense!

The most heartbreaking thing is that the Timberwolves made three surprises on the bench: Walker scored 6 of 9 three-pointers, McDaniels scored 22 points, and Divincenzo scored 21 points, and the three scored 66 points to set a playoff substitute record! However, the main force dug too big, Huazi finally woke up and scored 8 points in a row, but it was too late. In the last minute, the camera swept over Towns on the bench. The All-Star center who was absent due to injury covered his face and sighed - if he was present, why would he be crushed into scum by the Thunder's inside line?

deeply penetrated the root of the defeat, and two fatal holes surfaced: First, Edwards encountered a "superstar wall", and the Thunder sent Dort to tangle closely, and his strategy of making a sudden and unstoppable shots made him 1 of 7 three-pointers, and his breakthrough route was all predicted; Second, Randle's mentality collapsed. Facing Chet's inside line, he chose to float on the outside and make waves, with 5 shots of 7 shots and three-pointers, and he fought from the "Wolf King" to the "Husky". Data shows that when the dual cores are on the field at the same time, the Timberwolves netted 21 points, which is an epic disaster!

What makes fans break the defense is the tactical rigidity. Knowing that Alexander was picking Conley singles in college, coach Finch insisted on not having to double-team, and watched SGA score 40 points; in the final quarter, he was still superstitious about the five small lineup, and was snatched three frontcourt rebounds in a row by the Thunder. Netizens angrily exclaimed: "This round of series is not losing to the Thunder, but to the elm-head of his coach!"

Now in a desperate situation of 1-3, the probability of the Timberwolves turning around is only 4.2%. But NBA history has staged such reversals 13 times, the most recent one was last year when the Heat Black Eight Bucks. If Edwards can reappear the G2 killing mode of 42 points, Randalk will put down his figure and attack the inside, and may be able to survive. Just leave them time, only the last 48 hours left.

This match between the two ice and fire has tear away the pain of the growth of young teams - when the core has insufficient core stress resistance and slow tactical response, no matter how strong the talent is, it is difficult to go far. So the soul-searching question is: If you are a coach, will G5 dare to DNP Randall? The comment section is waiting for your magic operation!
