Yesterday, the Minnesota Timberwolves lost 106-114 to the Memphis Grizzlies through a big game. As a result, the Timberwolves were eliminated by the Grizzlies by a 2-4 overall score, ending the season.
Today, the Timberwolves held a press conference to summarize the season, basically all members of the team will appear, answer some reporters' questions, and then they can take a vacation. At the summary press conference, as the absolute core of the Timberwolves, Towns naturally wanted to come out and speak, but what he said today sounded very harsh.
Talking about Edwards, Downs said that the former is very good, but has not yet learned how to analyze the situation on the field. "He hasn't really started thinking about the game yet, he's just playing basketball. I'm sure he'll be more experienced next season and know how to analyze the situation on the pitch. Towns said.
I have to say that Downs' remarks are a bit problematic. Edwards is actually the best Timberwolves player in this year's playoffs. In six games in the series, Edwards averaged 25.2 points per game, with just 2.5 turnovers and 3.7 fouls. Towns averaged 21.8 points per game and had 4.5 turnovers and 4.2 fouls.
In the sixth game, Downs had begun paddling in the last quarter, constantly shooting three-pointers, but Edwards broke through with the ball to create a killing, played very proactively, and lost after the game.
When it was Edwards' turn to speak today, his statement was "I only gave Downs 85 assists, too few, and I'm going to give Downs 200 assists next season." Apparently, Edwards was much more talkative than Downs. I don't know if Edwards will cause infighting in the Timberwolves after listening to Towns.
