Wukuyong is better than the Lakers? The Timberwolves are subdued, Butler draws soft Huazi, and Hilder makes an outrageous mistake

The Warriors and the Timberwolves met in the Western Conference semi-finals, but they didn't expect the intensity to be completely different. The Timberwolves said they couldn't bear it, but the Warriors felt relieved. Just like this defense in the second round of the playoffs? Much worse than the previous round!

Even if Curry had a strained left hamstring, the Warriors, led by Butler, beat Huazi and subdued the wolf cubs. Even without Kuyong could defeat the Timberwolves, wouldn't the Lakers have no match?

That's really good. Gobert and Randall, who had to eat and drink in the inside in the first round, played very uncomfortable in this game. Rooney + Zhu Meng defended them very much, and the Warriors' sense of oppression on the outside defense was also very strong. Payton Jr. and Butler interfered with Huazi and McDaniels' performance.

When Curry was injured and retreated, Buddy Hilde stood up. This was the hero of the Warriors' victory. Although he made an outrageous mistake of wearing back pants, he quickly adjusted back on the court and shot the highest 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists!

I thought the Timberwolves were very strong, but I didn't expect that the Lakers were too weak. Whether it was personnel configuration or coach experience, the Warriors taught the Lakers a good lesson, targeted defensive arrangements, Kerr's courage, and Redick had to watch and learn well.

Timberwolves coach Fincher bullied rookie Redick. He had no choice but to meet Cole. Curry was injured and his on-the-spot adjustments were not highlighted. It seems that his level is just that!
