Yesterday, the NBA regular season continued with the Minnesota Timberwolves challenging the Denver Nuggets on the road. In the Northwest Division, the Nuggets, Timberwolves and Portland Trail Blazers are very competitive, so this kind of game is actually very good.
The Timberwolves' performance this season has been ups and downs and has not been satisfactory, but the Nuggets are in worse shape, with many people on the team plagued by injuries and in a slump. The Timberwolves' biggest takeaway this season was last year's pick, Edwards.
Because of the unstable performance and the fact that he has not yet found the most suitable positioning for himself, Edwards did not play very well last season, and the exposure was not as good as that of the Charlotte Hornets' detective Lang Ramello Ball, so he lost the Rookie of the Year award. But Edwards has grown into the Timberwolves' leading scorer this season, forming the Big Three with Towns and Russell.
What's more, Edwards gives the impression of being physically strong, good at and fond of snuggling opponents, and as a result he developed new weapons this season and showed off his projection abilities. Facing the Nuggets, Edwards was furious, shooting 38 points and five rebounds on 14-of-21 shooting in the opening 33 minutes.
Outside the three-point line, Edwards hit 10-of-14 shooting and hit 10 three-pointers in a single game that almost pierced the Nuggets' defense. In front of the Nuggets' outside players, Edwards was in a no-man's land, and the state was helpless. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets 124-107 to win the game.
It has to be said that Edwards' progress is awe-inspiring, and continuous progress can help him gain a foothold in the NBA. This physically energetic Yuanlang, the original shooting is also so good, with the prospect of a superstar.
