The Warriors of the Splash Brothers era have always been the bitter masters of the Timberwolves, no matter how hard Downs tried, it was difficult to beat the Warriors led by Curry, but in the game on January 17, the Timberwolves slaughtered the Warriors by 20 points under the leadership of Towns, and the score ended in 119-99, the Timberwolves successfully won the anti-Clippers and the Lakers rose to 7th in the West, the most important point is that Towns matured, he learned how to become a qualified team leader?
Once Towns was indeed favored by the GM of each team, all think that Towns is the best candidate for the cornerstone of the team, helpless Timberwolves decadent record, Towns career has never relied on his own ability to bring the Timberwolves into the Western Playoffs, so Downs's data is no longer optimistic, and is no longer the cornerstone of the team's high rating of the GM, but Butler left, Wiggins left, Towns began to grow, today Slaughter Warriors 20 points game, Towns played 30 minutes, 20 shots 11, three-pointers 6 of 1, free throws 5 of 3, Bombed down 26 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, the past 4 games Towns has averaged 29.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 59%, the record of 2 wins and 2 losses is too fierce, but compared with personal data, the most shocking thing is Downs's maturity, he praised Edwards after the game to show leadership.
We know that Edwards didn't play well in this game, the Timberwolves can slaughter the Warriors by 20 points, and Edwards has little to do with it, because Edwards only scored 9 points on 3 of 8, and there were 2 turnovers, as a champion suddenly performed so badly, Edwards was helpless, but Towns used to praise Edwards, standing for his teammates, and the former Butler may not get downs sincere praise.
No reporter in the post-match interview asked about Edwards' performance, but Towns still summed up the victory of the game, specifically mentioning Edwards, Downs said: "If Edwards is in rhythm, then no one in this world can stop him." ”
Towns' praise for Edwards is to motivate Edwards's sluggish performance in this game, but also to support his teammate Edwards, so Downs is indeed mature, as a leader, when he plays a highlight performance to lead the team to win, really don't forget to learn to use high emotional intelligence to motivate his teammates, once Towns was not so sleek, now Towns is mature, maybe he and Edwards really match, although Edwards is also a very self-motivated player, after the game to take the initiative to practice shooting.
