Su Qun: The big victory in the field confused the Timberwolves. It will definitely be difficult to win if the main player doesn t score but only three substitutes.

May 27th, in the Western Conference Finals G4, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 126-128, and fell behind 1-3 with a big score.

commentator Su Qun commented on this game:

Thunder and Timberwolves will indeed play for the last minute, but the imagined Tianwang Mountain is gone. After winning 42 points in this game, the Timberwolves did not do their homework well, especially in defense. Obviously, the last big victory puzzled them. The Timberwolves allowed SGA, Jaylen Williams and Homegren to score 95 points, while Edwards, Randle and Reed to score only 31 points.

After falling behind by 7 points, the Timberwolves once chased within 3 points twelve times, with only one draw, never leading, and were pulled away every time they caught up. If the main general does not score points and only relies on three substitutes, it will definitely be difficult to win. And it's not doing a good job of protecting the 3-second zone. Without fundamental defensive strategy changes, there is a high probability that this series will be gone.
