League will play, Alexander will receive the MVP trophy before tomorrow s game, the Timberwolves may be 0-2

Basketball

The candidates for MVP are Alexander, Jokic and Antetokounmpo. In the end, according to the voting results, Alexander was elected the NBA regular season MVP this season. He got 71 first votes and 29 second votes, while Jokic got 29 first votes and 71 second votes.

In addition, the league will also award Alexander the MVP trophy before tomorrow's game. Tomorrow's game is the second game of the Western Conference Finals and is still played at home in the Thunder. In the previous game, they beat the Timberwolves and led 1-0 with a big score.

I have to say that the award presentation time of this year's MVP is a bit embarrassing.

In the past, MVP awards were presented in the second round of the series, and most MVPs could afford it; later, for a while, the season awards were presented at a special award ceremony after the playoffs. This season in the Western Conference Finals is too late for the early stage and too early for the mid stage.

Losing that the Thunder defeated the Nuggets in the tiebreak, otherwise Alexander would have to receive the MVP trophy at home.

If you put the award presentation time at this time, the person who is most dissatisfied with it may be the Timberwolves. After all, this is the award ceremony for MVP, which is likely to stimulate the Thunder and make them more eager to win. The Timberwolves, who are already behind 0-1, face the high morale Thunder away. That is really a disaster.

In NBA history, the probability of the home team winning the game on the day of the MVP trophy is very high.

So far this season's playoffs, the Timberwolves have only three games scored less than 90 points, namely Game 2 in the first round, Game 1 in the second round, and Game 1 in the Western Conference Finals. The Timberwolves lost all of these three games, but in the next game, they all bottomed out and rebounded!

In Game 3 of the first round, their shooting percentage increased significantly, defeating the Lakers at home, leading 2-1 with a big score.

In the second round of the second round, their three-point shooting percentage increased significantly, defeating the Warriors at home, and the score was 1-1.

In the next game tomorrow, according to previous practice, they will likely rebound and have a high hope of a away victory, but now they have encountered another Buff bonus.

First of all, the Thunder's home winning rate this season is not low. In addition to being defeated by the Nuggets in the first game in the second round, they won two consecutive home games in the first round, and also had 3 wins and 1 loss in the second round.

Secondly, the MVP award ceremony will appear in the second game. At that time, Alexander's fighting spirit, the momentum of the Thunder team, and the atmosphere of the Thunder's home court will be very unfavorable to the Timberwolves. I wonder if the young Timberwolves can withstand this pressure and regard the stimulation of the MVP as a motivation for the team.

Judging from the first game, the Thunder's defense against the Timberwolves is still very targeted. It is difficult for the Timberwolves to tear through the Thunder's defense line by relying solely on the three-point tactic. They can appropriately impact the inside, sit and play the inside, and then lead the outside from the inside to ensure the efficiency of the outside line and strive for more advantages.

On the defensive end, the Timberwolves should avoid the trouble of fouls. In the first game, the Timberwolves should adapt and then adjust the defensive intensity. Sometimes, complaining is unnecessary and useless, so they can only adapt to it.

The Timberwolves must not rely on defense to defeat the Thunder. Scoring 110 points on the offensive end is the basis for the Timberwolves to win.
