Netease Sports reported on May 18:
For Mike Conley, the first round of G7 in 2020 is chaotic.
sir With 15 seconds left in the game, Mitchell fell behind by 2 points. Mitchell made a mistake in his attack with the ball. The Denver Nuggets launched a counterattack after they got the ball right. They could have waited for the Jazz to make a foul, but Jamal Murray passed the ball to Clegg, who couldn't make a layup.
Gobel got the rebound and passed the ball to Conley, who quickly recommended that he get rid of Gary Harris and shoot three points against Murray when the whistle sounded.
The ball didn't score, 78 to 80, and the Jazz lost.
Four years later, Conley will still remember that shot. "I've been thinking," he said.
"It's like post-traumatic stress disorder. That memory is there. You want to make the memory different, and you want to do it again. If you let me say how I felt at that time, I would like to say, give me another chance."
Conley has such a chance again. Wearing the Wolves jersey, he will play against Denver again on Sunday local time, which is also a tiebreaker.
Because of Achilles tendon pain, Kangli missed the G5 series, and the Timberwolves lost miserably. He didn't want to be absent, but he said he could hardly walk at that time. He came back in G6, and the Timberwolves beat Denver to make the total score 3-3. He was the key to the victory of the Timberwolves.
"Conley is back," Edwards said when asked about the difference between G5 and G6. "That's it."
Now, Conley focuses all his attention on the tiebreaker. The veteran with 18 years of career has played four tiebreakers and lost all of them. Now, he has another chance, "Who knows, maybe I will get that chance again and throw the key ball."
Will you come in this time?
"Of course, I've been thinking about it."
