G5: Where does the Thunder Wolf Slayer win? Can Pacers cause them trouble?

Congratulations to the Thunder Soldiers for entering the finals without bloodshed! In fact, when playing in G4, the Timberwolves not only lost the game, but also started with a complete collapse of confidence. As long as the Thunder's defensive resources say I must pinch your wolf Edwards and Randall, I will definitely be able to pinch it. At worst, you can hit it and let your character player hit me. Even if you are accurate, I can match your firepower in the offense. But at the last moment of the game, your character player can't beat me. This is the Thunder's strategy in the last game!

The Timberwolves' defensive strategy in the face of this Thunder's defensive strategy on the field can't be better, but they really can't win it in the end. Just look at the G5 today. All the Timberwolves' defense against the Thunder are psychologically difficult to overcome. In the last game, I guess the Timberwolves themselves are very clear about the performance of their role players. That's not the norm, but they are super-level performance. Therefore, when the role players in this game do not perform well and Edwards and Randle are still blocked very tightly, the Timberwolves really have no way to crack it, so they can only wait for the end of the game!

But I personally think that it is not that the Timberwolves are not excellent, but that the Thunder is too strong. Although a friend will tell you, the Lakers and Warriors who won the first and second rounds of the Timberwolves have either a big lineup defect or absent from the main player. The Timberwolves have indeed taken a lot of advantage, but you can't say that their strength is problematic. In fact, their comprehensive level is second only to the Thunder in the West! However, the Thunder completely suppressed them on both offense and defense. Their substitute five was originally a hit to the opponent's lineup, but in the end, they could not play the defensive advantage in the Thunder. Their starting lineup was also an offensive giant baby like Gobert, but then again, it is difficult for ordinary teams to fully capture these weaknesses, because Gobert's rebounding and single defense ability are top-notch. However, because of Alexander's outstanding team on the offensive end and his performance without any blind spots on the defensive end, the Thunder can completely restrain these two Timberwolves' lineups. Except for the Thunder, it is difficult for other teams to do this resource league, so it is difficult for you to say that the Timberwolves are too weak, resulting in their 1-4 defeat!

The next finals are likely to face the Pacers. The Thunder will be more convenient to play. First of all, the Pacers' overall defense is really not top-notch. Turner's ability to protect the frame in the interior is average. Halliburton and Nembhard are both big weak rings on the outside defense. It can be said that in general, their defense is weaker than the Timberwolves. In addition, their main offensive end is the five-outside, which emphasizes that everyone can handle the ball and everyone can shoot three-pointers. However, the Thunder's lineup is aimed at such five-outside. Let's see what the Timberwolves' five-outside defense is like by the Thunder. However, the only advantage is that the Pacers' five-outside protection is worse than the Timberwolves' five-outside protection, but their comprehensive outside defense ability is obviously not as good as the Timberwolves', so it is very difficult for them to create difficulties for the Thunder!

And most importantly, they do not have a big killer that can create damage, nor do they have an absolute core, and they cannot shake the Thunder's defensive system at all. Therefore, the Pacers' final outcome is likely to be the same as the Timberwolves, with at most a difficult victory!
