Is the Timberwolves losing a G2 really a referee problem? There are indeed problems with the dictator scale, but there are many problems in themselves

On the defensive end, the Timberwolves are also full of problems, and the weak inside defense has become their fatal injury. The opponent frequently attacks the Timberwolves' inside line during the offense, taking advantage of the physical advantages and flexible steps of the inside players to easily break through the defense line and complete the score. When defending, the Timberwolves' inside players move slowly and lack defense awareness, and cannot effectively limit the opponent's offense.
's defensive strategy against key opponents is also completely invalid. They failed to effectively limit their opponent's core scorers, allowing them to easily get high scores in the game, such as Alexander of the Thunder, who almost made a bet on the game, whether it was breakthrough or shooting, posed a huge threat to the Timberwolves' defense.
The untimely defensive rotation is also a major problem for the Timberwolves' defense. When the opponent makes quick passes and transfers, the Timberwolves players are unable to perform defensive rotations in time, resulting in a large number of open loopholes, allowing the opponent to easily complete the shooting. This defensive loophole makes the opponent play very easily on the offensive end, and also makes the Timberwolves gradually fall into a passive position in the game.
Through data comparison, the Timberwolves' own problems are even more obvious. In terms of rebounding, they grabbed 41 rebounds in the whole game, while their opponents grabbed 45. In key offensive rebounds, the Timberwolves lagged behind their opponents with 10 13, which made them far fewer second offensive opportunities, which directly led to a gap in scoring.
assist data also reflects the lack of cooperation between the Timberwolves team, with only 20 assists in the game and 30 opponents, indicating that the Timberwolves rely more on individual singles than teamwork in the offense.
turnover count was also one of the important factors in the Timberwolves' defeat in this game, with 14 turnovers throughout the game, while their opponents only had 6. These mistakes allowed the opponent to easily get the opportunity to counterattack quickly, which turned into a large number of points, greatly hitting the morale of the Timberwolves.
Although they lost the G2 game, the Timberwolves must not be able to recover. They need to learn from this loss, make active adjustments, and be fully prepared for the subsequent games.
In terms of tactical adjustment, coach Finch needs to re-examine the team's tactical system and formulate more reasonable and effective tactics based on the characteristics of the opponent and the advantages of his own players. Increase the unball running and screen cooperation between players, create more open shots, and reduce dependence on core players' personal singles. On the defensive end, strengthen the execution of defensive tactics, improve the speed and efficiency of defensive rotation, and make up for loopholes in the inside defense.
It is also crucial to inspire players' fighting spirit and confidence. Teams can strengthen communication and exchanges between players through internal meetings, training, etc. and enhance team cohesion. Coaches should give players full trust and encouragement so that they can put down their burdens and play to their best level in the game. For example, in previous games, when the team was facing difficulties, core player Edwards drove the morale of the whole team through his passion and fighting spirit, and finally achieved a reversal. This spirit is particularly important in subsequent games.
Improving players' competitive state and technical level cannot be ignored. Players need to strengthen basic skills such as shooting, passing, and defense during training to improve their technical stability. In response to the problems exposed during the game, targeted special training will be carried out, such as improving three-point shooting percentage and strengthening inside defense skills.
I believe that after experiencing this defeat, the Timberwolves can reflect deeply and make positive changes. In subsequent games, they have the ability to adjust their state and show their due strength, bring more exciting games to the fans, and let us look forward to their wonderful performance in subsequent games.
