.

As for the subsequent series, in the face of a backward situation, the Timberwolves should still be the first to change the formation.

Based on the content of the game, compared with Edwards' projection feel and adjustment of offensive choices, Randall's defensive positioning is the point that needs to be solved urgently in the future.

, especially the poor sense of off-ball defense, made Randall slightly difficult for defending against anyone. Facing Butler, he has also become a shortcoming for veterans to commit fouls. Can he hide him on the defensive end in the future, try to replace defenses to reduce the position of Randall as a supporting defender, and then maintain his continuous output on the offensive end.

This is the first question Chris Finch wants to answer.

Another point comes from how to effectively utilize the space created by Gobert. In this game, Gobert had very little coverage of the ball, and there were also many pictures of the ball holders hanging high to Gobert because of the opponent's defense. However, the subsequent results were not ideal, and it would continue to reduce the teammates' willingness to pass the ball.

Referring to this link, Gobert must have higher participation on the offensive end in the subsequent game. Facing the second game, he is likely to be without Curry and he is not easily named, he will regain his inside role as the first round series finale.

Although we were a little embarrassed to lose the first away game of the series first, considering the Timberwolves' ability to adjust in time after losing to the Lakers in the first round of the series, we still deserve to maintain greater expectations for this younger Wolves.
