Super Heavy Artillery

In fact, the thunder and Timberwolves Series in the fourth quarter has been decided.

Although the Timberwolves have been biting the score, but their defense has been unable to limit the thunder attack. In the previous game, the Timberwolves players with their own tenacious fighting spirit and blood, let the thunder into the difficult situation of scoring. But this game, they seem to play very efficient in the offensive end, but without that kind of iron and blood defense, they still can't cause substantial damage to the other side.

Donovan also saw the other side's problems, so he was not as nervous as the last game. Even though Oklahoma was still behind in the first half, he was still very quiet in his seat. Based on his knowledge of the players, Donovan thinks they are just out of shape for a while. He believes that, needless to say, these players can find the rhythm on the offensive side.

In fact, it is. After all, the performance of these players has been watched by Donovan this season. Trust it!

In the last quarter of the game, thunderbolt opened fire as soon as it came up. Although the Timberwolves are also the main force, the gap between the two is really some big. Thunder defense let them suffer. The wolves, who had been bitten by Ross and didn't collapse in the third quarter, were taken away by thunder at the beginning of this quarter!

Westbrook was the one who launched the attack, and ANLO and Paul George were the final killers of the Timberwolves. The two men, one inside and one outside, took turns. Let the Timberwolves defense head and tail, there is no way.

In the end, thunder beat Timberwolves 121-102 in the target center arena. At the same time of winning the game, we also got the last laugh in this series. They are not only the first team to advance in the playoffs this season, but are likely to be the only team to sweep through their opponents. Because in the west, there's another team that might sweep. That's the pelican! Their game against the Blazers was also 3-0 ahead after the thunder.

However, the pelican's lead lies in the sudden outbreak of Rondo and the continued downturn of Lillard and mcclem. In the first three games, none of the Blazers was satisfactory. But thunder is different, regardless of whether the Timberwolves play well or not, they can win the game. It can be seen that the first place in the league is worthy of its name.

After the game, Downes was very depressed. This is his first playoff trip. Just found that feeling, it's over! This season, he has made two big sound breakthroughs for his career: an all star and a playoff. At the beginning of the season, the Timberwolves were once ranked among the top four in the West. More and more mature Downes and Wiggins played very well under the leadership of Butler and Tigger. At that time, all the Timberwolves fans thought their team would do a big job. But before long, everything was back to the Timberwolves' most familiar rhythm. He did not with Butler's injury, the strongest point of the Timberwolves disappeared, lost, once again became the Timberwolves label. If it wasn't for Rose's i-rush, in the last part of the regular season, he repeatedly played an excellent performance to help the Timberwolves stabilize the situation. Maybe they went on holiday long ago.

But it still can't. However, this season they are more successful. Thirteen years later, they made the playoffs again. After years of bad play, finally to lead the Timberwolves rejuvenation of the young players. Through the deal, they have assembled a large number of capable and experienced players. For example, Butler, rose, Tigger, Crawford, Gibson and so on. Players like beliza and Brooks can also contribute a lot of energy. On the surface, it all seems to be moving in a good direction.

But in fact, it's not going to be easy for the Timberwolves. First of all, they need to solve the problem: how to retain the current set of lineups. The most important thing is, Downes.

There is no doubt that Downes is an outstanding young NBA center, is the absolute core and future hope of Timberwolves. This season, Downes has been on duty for the third consecutive season. The average field contribution was 21.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, the shooting percentage was 54.5%, and the three-point shooting rate was 42.1%. As a 213cm high center, Downes's three points are more accurate than many guards in the league.

Downes is eligible for an early renewal of a five-year $158 million contract with Timberwolves this summer. And the Timberwolves management had already prepared the contract, waiting for him to nod. But it was reported before the playoffs that the two sides still did not reach an agreement on a new contract.

Although the Timberwolves are optimistic, there has been little progress on the issue of early renewal. The reason why Downes has not extended his contract with Timberwolves in advance is because Butler. It has been reported in the media in the middle of the season that Jimmy Butler is very dissatisfied with Downes's professional ethics and attitude. Timberwolves reporter Charlie waters also confirmed that the conflict between the two is more complex than most people know.

Butler is a very good player. Playing with passion, strong defense, strong desire to win, hard training and persistent personality. Such people are strict with themselves as they are with their teammates. And the future of the Timberwolves, Downes and Wiggins, are really unable to get along with butler.If Butler is just a star player with no background, Downes doesn't have to worry about it. The reason is simple. He has enough capital to establish his position. Downes is younger and more promising than Butler. There is no reason for the team to choose Butler over him. However, the existence of sibodu makes their relationship more complicated.

And Butler doesn't have to stay in Minnesota. After Butler joined the Timberwolves, sibodu on behalf of the Timberwolves high-level offered Butler a total price of more than 100 million early renewal contract, but Butler also refused. He is not young. He has money and fame. The championship is very important to him. And the Timberwolves don't look like they can win the championship. Coupled with his disagreement with Downes and Wiggins, it is reasonable that Butler has other ideas.

Generally speaking, the rise of Timberwolves is still a long way off. And thunder playoffs, should be able to let them understand their own gap. This off-season, if the Timberwolves' work is not perfect, the next season will be out of the playoffs again.
