As the team with the best signing in the NBA in recent years, the Timberwolves have received a lot of high picks in the draft, but the inability to transform the talent of the players into the team's combat effectiveness has always been their biggest problem, which has also made the inner core Downs, which the team has been cultivating for many years, become a soft egg in the eyes of many fans, but with the addition of another Champion Edwards, the Timberwolves have made great progress this season, ranking in the top eight in the Western Conference. And Towns also ushered in a bumper season, in the previous All-Star Game, as desired to win the three-point championship, in order to allow the team in the final moments of the regular season to break into the top six of the West to escape the play-off area, the Timberwolves will definitely hope to be able to achieve more wins in the remaining season, in this regular season, they encountered the Spurs coached by Popovich, who has just become the first all-time victory in history, this battle will become a milestone battle in the career of the new Wolf King, under his leadership, The Timberwolves suppressed their opponents from the beginning of the game and finally got their wish to beat the Spurs 149-139, winning a two-game winning streak!
Although today's Spurs team has completely lost the touchstone of the strong team of the year, and there is no hope of reaching the playoffs, but many young players under popovich's tutelage, or show a good potential, the team's three-double Mr. Murray, personal performance is still eye-catching, played 35.4 minutes 20 shots hit 10 goals, one person contributed 30 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists of the big double-double data.
Under Murray's needle-cutting line, the Spurs also continued their consistent team basketball, the whole game they have a total of five players scored double digits, of which Johnson is a three-pointer, one hit 5 three-pointers, cut the team's high 34 points, in addition to 8 rebounds and 4 assists into the account, substitute Lonnie Walker also performed well to get 22 points, unfortunately, the Spurs represented by team basketball, in this game encountered unsolvable personal heroism.
The Timberwolves' team-building philosophy is diametrically opposed to that of the Spurs, although they are not title favorites, but they are a team that has built the core system of the big three, but in this game, Edwards is in a sluggish state, playing 30.2 minutes, only 5 points on 7 shots, while Russell's performance is decent, contributing 19 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the whole game.
Towns, who is known as the new Wolf King by many fans, is undoubtedly the brightest star of the game, downs played 36.1 minutes in the whole game, hit 19 goals in 31 shots, including 7 of 11 three-pointers, proving the strength of the three-point king, one person bombed 60 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists of the luxurious personal data, of which in the third quarter, one person cut 32 points, only 1 point less than the Spurs team's single quarter score, shocking the fans!
Through the performance of the Timberwolves this season, many fans are very optimistic about the future of this team, and look forward to Edwards' future can become more stable and outstanding like Downs, I believe that under the leadership of the two of them, the Timberwolves can become a very competitive team!
