42 points win! Alexander super ghost, Huazi 30+9, Randall exploded, the western pattern changed

G3 in the Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder 143-101, with a big score of 1-2. In the absence of two consecutive away games, the Timberwolves rebounded at home. Huazi is still awesome, and he averaged 32 points per game in his career G3. Facing the battle of going home after losing, 0-3, no team has ever been able to turn the tables successfully, so it is a death penalty. Edwards set an example and entered attack mode from the first quarter. He scored 10 points in a row and scored 16 points in a single quarter, which laid a good foundation for the Timberwolves to win. Others also started to get rid of the blood, and Randall regained the projection feeling. The reason why the Timberwolves struggled in the first two games was that Alexander got a lot of free throws in the referee, and the Timberwolves couldn't make it stronger in terms of breakthroughs and shooting. But after the penalty intensity returned to normal today, Alexander could not kill or commit a foul. The Thunder's strategy on the offensive end is to close the inside. When Edwards cuts inside, he mobilizes resources to encircle and target his ability to use the ball. The Timberwolves couldn't open the inside and were forced to shoot too many three-pointers from the outside. Today, the three-pointer finally came to an accurate game.

The Timberwolves made 20 of 40 three-pointers in the game, while the Thunder lost 14 of 44 away games. Thunder now relies heavily on Alexander's performance. If he can kill, Thunder will be smooth. If he cannot play, Thunder's attack will be blocked, which will also affect Jewei's performance. In the final analysis, Alexander is the key to the Thunder opening the breakthrough. The same is true for the Timberwolves. When Edwards can explode the output, the team can also be driven.

Today, the first quarter of Huazi's fire inside and outside was unstoppable. The score was 34-14 in a single quarter. The Thunder was completely stunned by the Timberwolves' firepower. In the second quarter, I thought the Thunder would fight back, but I still lost 11 points. The game ended at halftime, with the Timberwolves leading by 31 points. Although the Thunder made a strong start in the second half, they chased to 22 points. But the Timberwolves immediately fought back and climaxed 20-4, and instantly let the Thunder get off work. Alexander only scored 4 free throws in the game, scored 14 points in 4 of 13 shots, Jewe only scored 13 points, and Chett scored 10 points. On the Timberwolves, Edwards made 12 of 17 shots and 5 of 8 three-pointers were extremely efficient in scoring 30 points, 9 moves and 6 assists. To put it off topic, Rockets fans may be very jealous of Huazi today. If Fengxue and Huazi exchange teams, the Rockets will compete for the championship directly. In addition, Randall scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and he adapted to the Thunder's defensive strategy. In this round of series, the Timberwolves' turnaround point is whether they can make more three-pointers to punish the Thunder strategy.

Edwards and Randall are the key two of the Timberwolves. Edwards' ability to attack, it is very important whether Randall can blast a single point in the Thunder's inside. When Randle can continuously damage the inside, the Thunder must mobilize more defensive resources to encircle. Then the Timberwolves will get many easy opportunities on the outside. Overall, the Timberwolves have a point of turning the tables. After all, the Timberwolves were the team that eliminated the Nuggets last year. The Timberwolves are of course not inferior to the team that can eliminate the Nuggets and the Thunder who tied the Nuggets for seven. At least in terms of team configuration, the Timberwolves' inside line is not worse than the Thunder. Gobert was the same as Harten in the first two games, but today Gobert played for 28 minutes, and Harten only had 18 minutes. Gobert scored 7 points, 7 rebounds, 2 breaks and 2 caps, plus or negative values ​​+23. On the defensive end, Gobert is still the Timberwolves' defensive confidence. The Thunder doesn't like to set up double towers because the effect is really not good. If you don’t have to cover your single tower, you have to rely more on Alexander to open up the situation. Compared to the one-sided Knicks against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Timberwolves and the Thunder are hard to say.
