The Timberwolves finally overtook the score in the last quarter and led the opponent by 6 points.

At this time, the Nuggets began to feel panic and could not hold back. They originally used morale and personal attack to defeat their opponents. Now that the morale is gone, the Nuggets will immediately fall into dullness and anxiety.

The Nuggets played again at this time. Anthony took the ball outside the three-point line and wanted to challenge the Timberwolves' defense, but Wang Kai fought bravely at this time and stuck in front of Anthony. Anthony hit Wang Kai with his shoulder and squeezed Wang Kai with his butt, but Wang Kai's confrontation was not inferior to him. These tricks that Anthony, which are very useful to him, are completely useless when he sees that the opportunity is not very good, and he also passes the basketball to Billups, who has an open position in the bottom corner.

Billups took the ball and shook Sebastian, and then shot and threw a three-pointer at the critical moment.

Billups wanted to pull the Nuggets back at a critical moment, but he had saved the team several times. Now that he took action, Sebastian was ready, and his ruthless eyes blocking made Billups' attack slightly softer.

"Bang!"

The Nuggets' counterattack failed. The Timberwolves caught the backcourt rebound, and did not rush to counterattack, but slowly advanced back.

The Timberwolves are still fighting steadily at this time, and the more stable the Timberwolves are, the more uncomfortable the Nuggets will be.

They were overtaken and suppressed, and they were in pain, but the Timberwolves were there. The Nuggets naturally couldn't stand it!

The Timberwolves ran over, Wang Kai and Brewer crossed the cover, Brewer took the ball to Love, and Love passed the ball to Gomez. The Timberwolves kept conducting the ball. They made cross covers around the three-point line. After multiple covers, Gomez still held the ball to cover Brewer, trying to launch a tactic of no ball.

But just when the Timberwolves were playing tactics so patiently, JR Smith was out of patience, and he fouled against Cory Brewer from behind.

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the Nuggets shouted at the referee in an atmosphere, wanting to put pressure on the referee, but this was at the Timberwolves' home court. The fans at home all cheered, and the Nuggets' pressure was very unsuccessful.

Brewer made his free throw line and his mentality was much calmer. He is now 6 points ahead of his opponent! On the free throw line, Brewer made both free throws, 117; 109, and the Timberwolves widened the gap to 8 points.

The score difference was widened and never looked back. The Nuggets were unable to recover the score difference. At this time, the Nuggets were indeed anxious. George Carl, including George Carl, was also a little anxious.

Under this anxious mentality, the Nuggets came over again, and Anthony took the ball and wanted to play Wang Kai.

He hit Wang Kai with force, but Wang Kai suddenly took a step back, asking Anthony to use his strength. He almost walked around and threw the basketball to JR Smith. Smith also forced the attack when he got the ball. He wanted to shoot against the three players of the Timberwolves, but before he could take action, Love pointed the basketball from the side.

The Nuggets' offense failed again!

Just when the Nuggets failed to attack, Brewer from the Timberwolves took the ball and rushed towards the Nuggets' half.

Brewer was still very fast. He rushed over and Anthony relaxed his defense against Wang Kai. However, with just a moment of opportunity, Brewer stuffed the basketball into Wang Kai's hands.

Wang Kai took the ball and turned left, used this step to catch the ball to widen the distance with Anthony, and then got up and threw a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Wang Kai made a three-pointer again, and Anthony's defense could only sigh! In this way, the Timberwolves led the Nuggets by 11 points.

Wang Kai used a dazzling catch action to create a three-pointer opportunity and harshly hit the Nuggets.

This was Wang Kai's second cold blow in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets finally began to collapse and collapse under Wang Kai's continuous cold blow.

Although the Nuggets' offensive firepower did not stop afterwards, they also scored 124 points in the whole game. However, they still did not beat the Timberwolves, because the Timberwolves were more stable and could control the scene. In the end, although the Timberwolves only scored 4 more points than the opponent, the Nuggets just couldn't surpass the Timberwolves.

When the game ended, the target center was cheering, and they surrounded the home court for the second time.

But at this time, the Nuggets' players looked extremely ugly. Today, their offense was fully performed, and under such circumstances, they did not beat the Timberwolves. This really hit the Nuggets' morale a huge blow.

Anthony scored 54 points in the game today, with a shooting percentage of 44%, but he still failed to win, which is indeed a bit unfair to Anthony.

George Carl left the target center helplessly and angrily at this time, and at the end of the game, Wang Kai was also intercepted by the media on the sidelines.

"King! You completed the big reversal in today's game. How did you persevere until the end in adversity."

The reporter asked this key question when he came up. Wang Kai won the game at this time and smiled happily and said frankly: "The key is confidence. We have confidence in ourselves. If we don't lose our confidence, we can win. And I have long been used to playing against the wind! This is my style!"

"So, what do you think about the Nuggets' performance today! What do you think about Anthony's 54 points!"

Wang Kai was in a good mood after winning the game, and said with a smile: "Today, the Nuggets' offensive performance was very sharp. They are really doing offensively. But the defense really needs to be strengthened, and their defense has problems."

"Anthony is also very unsolvable today. If it weren't for the fact that that guy was not physically strong in the most quarter, I think there was still a hard fight! Anthony and the Nuggets need to replenish their physical strength!"

After Wang Kai answered the reporter frankly, Wang Kai also entered the player channel.

After a simple wash, Wang Kai and the head coach attended the press conference together. The Timberwolves won the ball and made a big comeback. They led the team to defend the two home courts. At the press conference, Wang Kai and McHale were naturally full of spring breezes.

The Nuggets seem boring. Compared with the Timberwolves, the Nuggets were reversed and lost two games in a row. They also lost in a relatively embarrassing way. In this case, Anthony was also unwilling to answer the questions.

The game was over, and the Nuggets returned to Denver overnight. Their last hope was their home advantage.

After this game, the media also hyped up the content of the game. The first hot topic of this game was Anthony's 50 points. However, after Anthony scored 50 points, the Nuggets were even reversed. Therefore, the media's headlines often say that Anthony scored 50 points alone, but was unable to save the master. He was reversed in the last quarter and the Nuggets lost two consecutive games.

Under such circumstances, the Timberwolves started training normally when they arrived in Denver and received limited interviews.

The Timberwolves are orderly and the team is calm, but the Nuggets are preparing to burn their boats at their doorstep. If the Nuggets lose at their home court, they really have no reason to win.

The local media in Denver also said: "We are at the last minute! If the team wants to continue moving forward, we have to win this game."

By this point, the Nuggets' counterattack wave has reached its highest point, because in the third game of the series, if they can't win, there will be no hope. Losing three games in a row is basically equivalent to death.

The Nuggets were forced to the edge of the cliff, and they could only fight to the death. Faced with such a dying beast, the Timberwolves were still not arrogant or impatient when they came over, and McHale still had only one instruction to the team, which was to stay stable.

Compared with the Timberwolves and the Nuggets, the advantages are still more stable, so McHale is still taking care of it at this time, and the more critical the moment, the more stable it must be.

This is the Nuggets' life-and-death battle. Before the game, the media also believed that although it is definitely difficult for the Nuggets to beat the Timberwolves, in such a critical game, the Nuggets still have a relatively high chance of winning.

Local fans in Denver come together to cheer for the team. This is their life-and-death battle, so the fans are also very supportive of their local teams.

Denver is preparing for the fourth game in a must-win and hot atmosphere. The Timberwolves are already calm at this time.

At 10 o'clock the next night, three games of the Nuggets Timberwolves finally started in Denver.

Because this is home court in Denver, another key game, Denver local fans are watching the game.

The whole venue was full, and the fans were very enthusiastic. They made various small items to cheer up and brought them to the stadium.

When the Timberwolves entered the stadium to practice their feel, they saw that there were various slogans and avatars on the center of the Nuggets' pipe. The fans also dressed up all kinds of "glorious" styles, and the fans were always very enthusiastic.

Although Denver has average results in recent seasons, fans prefer to watch their games because they can attack and play beautifully.

There are many fans in Denver, and in this case, the Timberwolves are actually not bad. There are still many fans in the opponent's home court. Wang Kai has performed so well recently, so Wang Kai has a lot of fans now.

These Wang Kai's fans are all concentrated behind the Timberwolves' bench to cheer for the Timberwolves.

Commenting today's game is ESPN's commentator Joan Barry and Mark Jones, who are sitting together.

Mark Jones asked Barry the question that everyone wanted to ask: "Jones, do you see that the Nuggets can win this crucial game today?"

Mark Jones threw such a difficult question to Joan Barry, and Barry immediately said: "Oh! This question is difficult to answer. In theory, any team can beat any team! The Nuggets may win, but I want to say that the Timberwolves have a high chance of winning."

Barry said nothing, Mark Jones smiled and said, "In the last game, Wang Kai and Anthony both scored high scores! They both played very strongly. Do you think the two of them will still score high scores today?"

"Anthony will definitely do it! Anthony will definitely work hard today. Anthony will definitely get the score of about 30 points. It's not certain that Wang Kai is the main reason that Wang Kai does not need to dominate the game by scoring. He has strong passing ability and defense ability and is also super strong. Through these abilities, Wang Kai can also complete the domination of the court. This is Wang Kai's ability."

After Barry answered this, Mark Jones immediately said: "So, do you think Wang Kai is stronger than Anthony?"

Why did Barry say that? He shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I just think Anthony can only score if he wants to dominate the game. But Wang Kai can dominate the game in many ways. They just have different styles and no distinction between high and low. Classifying players is equivalent to racism!"

Barry raised this issue to such a high level that Mark Jones had no room for performance, so he had almost nothing to say.

When Mark Jones couldn't say it, Jonbarry said himself: "Today's game, the Nuggets must have all their strength. I'm not very interested in the Nuggets' offense. Because the Nuggets' offense in the last game was refreshing, and what I'm interested in now is that the Nuggets claim to play defense. I'm very interested in the Nuggets' defense. You know, it's like a comedian. One day he said he was going to act in an art film, which is very eye-catching!"

Mark Jones also smiled and said, "Yes! I'll look at the Nuggets' defense, it must be an interesting thing."

While the two were talking and laughing, the game officially began. The fans cheered and the list of the two teams also reached the broadcasting station.

The Timberwolves' lineup is point guard Sebastian, shooting guard Wang Kai, small forward Gomez, power forward Jefferson, and center Pekovic. This is a lineup that the Timberwolves have honed over a season. This lineup is very flexible, and the rest of the parts except Wang Kai can be dismantled at any time.

The Nuggets are also stable, point guard Billups, shooting guard Deng Tai Jones, small forward Anthony, power forward Martin, center Nene.

The lineups of both teams are very stable. When the home team players appear, the whole audience cheers. Although the Timberwolves booed a little, they didn't booed much. There is no way to compare with the Jazz's home court.

Although the Nuggets and Jazz are both strong teams in the Northwest, the styles of the two teams are completely opposite. The Jazz are teams that have always flowed with rationality and defensive blood, while the Nuggets have flowed with offensive blood since the Legend of Black Eight.

The traditions of the two teams are completely different, and the fans' attitudes towards the game are also different. The Jazz's fans are crazy and hard-working. The Nuggets fans are very enthusiastic and like lively offenses. The Jazz's fans come to support their teams, while the Nuggets fans are looking for good offenses.

The attitudes towards the game are different, so the Nuggets fans are not very stubborn and booing the Timberwolves.

When the two teams played, Pekovic and Nene began to compete for the ball. They were very active in their home court and first transferred the basketball to Billups.

Nene performed mediocrely in the previous two games and did not perform much. He rested in Denver for a day. Nene also cultivated his energy and prepared to play well at home.

At this time, the Nuggets played at halftime, which was indeed a little different from the previous two games. The Nuggets played more extensively on the offensive end, but once they played today, the Nuggets were also well prepared.

Billups got the ball at the top of the arc, and all the four Nuggets players were concentrated on the right side, and then ran one after another in an instant.

Dengtai-Jones went to guard the bottom corner, Anthony came out and moved without the ball, Nene cut the basket, and Martin came up to cover Billups.

Under this situation, Anthony is obviously the focus of the Nuggets' offensive, and most of the Timberwolves think so.

Then just as everyone was thinking so, Billups suddenly sent the basketball to Nene who was cutting the basket.

Nene is going to shoot the first shot today? Pekovic has also had two fights with Nene. At this time, he hurriedly pushed forward, but Nene turned around, turned around and forced himself to lean on Pekovic, and then forced his hand to attack the basket.

Nene had a difficulty in playing Pekovic, but he still had a chance to play hard. Pekovic was indeed suddenly beaten and couldn't react, so Nene took two points.

Today, Nene started offense from the inside line. This signal made Joan Barry immediately say: "I didn't see the Nuggets' defense today, but I saw the attack!"

"In the first two games, the Nuggets and Timberwolves scored 4:1 in the penalty area. The Timberwolves scored 4 points at the basket and the Nuggets only scored one point. This shows that the Nuggets lack effective means to attack the basket, and most of their offensive methods come from mid-range shots. This style of play is OK for the regular season, but it is very inefficient for the fierce playoffs."

"The Timberwolves are very good at scoring at low posts. In the last game, the Timberwolves scored a lot of points at the basket. This is an obvious gap and a big flaw for the Nuggets. Today, the Nuggets played at a low post at the beginning of the game, which also shows the Nuggets' intention to make up for this flaw."

Barry clearly pointed out the Nuggets' intentions. In the first two games, the Nuggets did score less at the basket, and under such circumstances, they could not gain an advantage, so today the Nuggets played inside to demonstrate their determination.

After the Nuggets' offense was finished, the Timberwolves quickly advanced. At this time, Barry and Mark Jones both widened their eyes and prepared to see what the Nuggets' defense looked like. As a result, as soon as the Timberwolves came over, the Nuggets' defense was indeed more content.

In the past, the Nuggets' defense was mainly single defense, and lacked cooperation between each other. Now, once the Timberwolves hit, the Nuggets also have some sense of mutual cooperation. The Nuggets' defense also has some team color, and it is very fierce and aggressive. It puts the Timberwolves' ball-holder on the way up.
