In the NBA playoffs, the Timberwolves won the Clippers 109-104 at home and returned to the playoffs as the 7th in the West, with the first round against the 2nd Grizzlies in the West. In this game, the Timberwolves core Towns did not perform well, but the young Edwards exploded with 30 points and 5 rebounds, carrying the team's offensive banner.
It's a crucial game, with the winner advancing straight to the playoffs. For the Timberwolves at home, it's clearly a great opportunity. Edwards, who was born in 2001, especially likes this stage, so no matter who stands in front of him, the young man is fearless.
In the opening attack, he forced Morris to complete a tough layup against George. The Clippers arranged for Morris to defend Edwards, but was flowered inside and out by "Huazi". Seeing that the defense is not good, the Clippers use wheel war to consume Edwards in turn, but neither Covington nor George can stop the 2020 NBA draft pick.
Strong George stuck in the air to pull the basket, counterattack assist teammates to shoot three points, break through and knock George's offense and then hit, easily tear apart the Clippers defense to complete the domineering dunk... Edwards in this game has hardly encountered too much defensive pressure.
At this time, Edwards did not know what fear was, but showed the temperament of young people and superstars. No matter who the opponent is, he dares to show himself and pulls the opponent off the horse. Edwards showed that kind of temperament in the regular season, and now in the playoffs, he still does.
This is Edwards' second season in the NBA, and in the regular season, he averaged 21.3 points per game, an improvement from the 19.3 points per game last season. His shooting ability has become more outstanding, and after growing to 1.98 meters tall, his impact on the basket has become more threatening. In the Season of the Timberwolves outbreak, Edwards has played a role.
The ambitious youngster said in February that he wanted to be the NBA's signature player in five years and would win the regular season MVP and a championship multiple times. This is both his bold words and his self-confidence. With the outbreak of this season, Edwards, who has already been a superstar, and Edwards, who has played well against superstars such as James, Curry and Durant in the past, must also be ready to break out in the playoffs.
