Who can enter the Western Conference Finals by the Warriors and the Timberwolves? Yang Yi and Barkley have the same views

In this year's NBA playoffs first round, the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers 4-1 and advanced to the second round without being favored by the industry, while the Warriors eliminated the Rockets 4-3 through the tiebreak battle to advance to the second round. The two teams will play in the second round to compete for a place in the Western Conference Finals. Which one has more hope to enter the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors or the Timberwolves? Industry insiders expressed their opinions.

Yang Yi is optimistic about the Timberwolves' advance to the Western Conference Finals. Yang Yi analyzed: Although the Warriors have good defensive candidates to defend the Timberwolves' offensive strength, chasing dreams can curb Randle and also have candidates to defend Edwards, the Timberwolves also have enough candidates to defend the Warriors' strong points. The Rockets can allow Adams to play for a long time when facing the Warriors, which will provide reference for the Timberwolves, and Gobert can also do it like Adams does. The Rockets' way to defend Curry is used by the Timberwolves. Both teams have good defensive abilities, but the Warriors have played a tiebreak battle in one round. The Warriors' core players are older and they are not as physically comparable to the Timberwolves, so the Timberwolves can advance in the end. Yang Yi predicts that the Timberwolves will eliminate the Warriors 4-2 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Barkley is also optimistic about the Timberwolves' advance to the Western Conference Finals. Barkley said he is firmly optimistic about the Timberwolves, because the Timberwolves' current tactical execution is almost perfect, Edwards is even more unstoppable, and the morale of the Timberwolves' team is high. Barkley analyzed that the Warriors should play pick-and-roll against Gobert. If the Timberwolves double-team Curry will give the Warriors a three-pointer chance at open space. If the Timberwolves want to win, they must play more small lineups.

Yang Yi and Barkley are optimistic about the Timberwolves, while Su Qun and O'Neal are optimistic about the Warriors. Su Qun believes that although the tiebreak battle has consumed a lot of physical fitness, the Warriors are playing against the Timberwolves with the winning state of G7. The Timberwolves are not as good as the Warriors. As long as the Warriors win G1, they will advance 6 games. If they lose G1, the Warriors will advance through tiebreak.

O'Neal said that Curry is in a hot state, and it is difficult for the Timberwolves to defend Curry. Although the Timberwolves have several young people such as Divinchenzo to chase Curry, the whole game of chasing Curry is extremely physically consuming, so he is optimistic that the Warriors will advance in the end.
