On April 30, Beijing time, the Timberwolves 106-114 were reversed by the Grizzlies and dragged into the seventh. The same script, the same 13 points were reversed, and the Timberwolves were reversed in the last quarter of two consecutive games. Timberwolves coach Finch is indeed incompetent, and the Timberwolves core Towns is indeed weak - the key two shots were missed, Beverley and Edwards also missed two key three-pointers, can only say that the Timberwolves should lose.
After the game, Timberwolves fans wondered why the key ball wasn't thrown at Jaden McDaniels! 1:34 before the final game was his three-pointer to help the Timberwolves shrink to one point, and then Tyes Jones responded with a three-point stretch to 4 points, and the Timberwolves trailed by only one point 26 seconds before the final. The three-pointer in the first 18 seconds of the final game did not give Jaden.
He was 2 of 2 of 2 + 1 of 3-pointers + 2 of 2 free throws and had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block in the last quarter, and he was the most accurate one.
He hit 3 three-pointers in just 3 minutes in the first quarter and scored 9 points, he was the key to the Timberwolves' first quarter lead, 3 of 3 in the third quarter + 1 of 3 three-pointers, 33 minutes of the game, 8 of 9, 5 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 24 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, shooting 88.9% from the field and 83.3% from three-point range, which was really amazing.
The 21-year-old Jayden McDaniels played the playoffs for the first time in his career, and as a first-round finalist he got more playing time this year to become the Timberwolves' main rotation, 2.08 meters tall he can play 3-4 positions, and he is a big man with the ability to shoot, shooting 50% from three-point range in the series.
Averaging 21.5 minutes per game in the playoffs, with 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.33 steals and 1.83 blocks, shooting 52.7% from the field and 50% from three-point range, he believes the data will be better if he can add some confrontation. 24 points + five three-pointers are all playoff career highs.
Timberwolves reporter praised Jaden: Jaden McDaniels became the star in front of us; for a 21-year-old he succeeded; Jaden was everywhere.
But Timberwolf reporter John Grove wrote: Jaden McDaniels was selected by the Lakers in 2020, he should have belonged to the Lakers, the Lakers even had a chance to select Desmond Bain, but the Lakers exchanged that draft pick + Danny Green for Dennis Schroeder.
In the summer of 2020, the Lakers exchanged 28 picks + Danny Green from the Thunder for Schroeder, and then the Thunder used the 25 picks + 28 picks + Rubio to change the 17 picks from the Timberwolves, the Lakers are heartbroken, if there is such a young 3D forward, this season the defense will decline so badly?
