Scoring 60 points, 14 rebounds and 16 assists! Huazi milestone, Randall beats the NBA record, James is optimistic about the Timberwolves

NBA playoffs continue, with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors ushering in the third leg. In the game, the Timberwolves made a perfect start of 8-2 away. The Warriors struggled to catch up with points and relied on the substitute group to smooth out the gap in rotation time. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves once widened the score difference to double digits, but the Warriors scored a 13-1 offensive at the end of the quarter to overtake the score. After the change of sides, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war, with the scores alternately leading. This situation remained until the final battle in the final quarter. The Timberwolves scored a 9-0 climax to take the initiative, and the Warriors relied on Hilder's three-pointer to prosper. With Green and Looney being sent off for six fouls, the Timberwolves secured the victory with the stable output of Huazi and Randall. In the end, the Timberwolves narrowly defeated the Warriors 102-97.

The Warriors won the home advantage away, but Curry suffered a first-degree strain on his left hamstring and was hung up with a high-level battle card. Hua Zi fought with an injury! Faced with the aggressive Timberwolves, the Warriors took the initiative to change their playing style, slowed down their pace and even refused to shoot three-pointers, making 0 of 5 three-pointers in the first half. This is the first time the Warriors have scored no three-pointers in the playoffs since 2007. In the second half, the Warriors made full use of 10 of 18 three-pointers, but the Timberwolves scored 13 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 38.2%, which suppressed the Warriors' firepower well. More importantly, the Warriors' deterioration was extinguished again and again, while the Timberwolves were full of energy in the whole game to dominate the penalty area and control the inside, defeating the Warriors 44-36 rebounds, and scoring 26-14 for the second offense!

The Timberwolves made great efforts to win this focus battle, with the two stars shining, Huazi and Randle teamed up to score 60 points + 14 rebounds + 16 assists! Huazi played in the first half with an injury and continued his previous sluggish feel. He scored only 8 points in 3 of 12 shots, so that when NBA famous artist Yang commented on the game, he said: Huazi's feet are obviously not good, which seriously affects the acceleration of the start. But what is the result? Huazi changed his fate in the second half and completed his self-salvation. He scored 28 points in the first half and left a world-famous painting with Luni dunked! After the whole game, Huazi played for 43 minutes, made 13 of 28 shots (5 of 14 three-pointers), made 5 of 8 free throws, and scored 36 points + 4 rebounds + 4 assists. At the same time, Huazi completed a god-level milestone. According to statistics, this is Huazi's 18th victory in his playoff career, surpassing Garnett to rank first in the Timberwolves' history.

Before Huazi broke out in the second half, Randall carried the team with the burden! After the game, Randall played for 40 minutes, made 10 of 23 shots (1 of 6 three-pointers), 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 24 points + 10 rebounds + 12 assists + 3 steals, with a positive and negative value of up to +14 on the court. At the same time, Randall scored several NBA records. According to statistics, 12 assists were Randle's personal playoff career high. At the same time, this is the first time Randall has won a triple-double in his playoff career. He is also the second player in the Timberwolves history to win a triple-double in the playoffs, and the first one is Garnett (3 times). In another statistics, Randall scored 24 points and 11 assists. He is the first player in the Timberwolves to assist in two consecutive playoff games. Strongest players such as Garnett and Huazi have not been able to do it.

Timberwolves rewrite the series score to 2-1 in a strong game. With the top 3 in the league, the Timberwolves are the only team to defend their home advantage in the second round. They are underestimated and their ability to fight tough battles is getting stronger and stronger. According to statistics, since the playoffs, the Timberwolves have won all four games at critical moments. Zhan once looked up to the Timberwolves in his podcast program. He pointed out incisively: The Timberwolves have experience in the Western Conference Finals, and there are 8 people rotating. Their strength is underestimated. At least they can enter the Western Conference Finals again, and it is not impossible for them to enter the finals. At least from the current situation, the Warriors and the Thunder are in trouble, and the Timberwolves have great experience in fighting the Nuggets, and the script is developing in the direction preset by James. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
