Edwards incarnates Jordan

Friends who have watched Jordan's game, if you see Edwards' performance today, you will definitely have a sense of déjà vu, in the case of Gobert and Conley's poor performance, Huazi incarnated as Jordan in the second half, dominating both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he shot 13 of 23 in this game, and 7 of 13 three-pointers got 40 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Downs also got rid of the restrictions of foul troubles, this game Downs shot 11 of 17 from the field, 4 of 6 three-pointers got 28 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. However, Gobert's performance in this game was not good, with 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 3-of-9 shooting, and Conley got 10 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, but 2-of-10 shooting.

Jaden played well in this game, he became the most reliable helper around Edwards and Towns, 6 of 12 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers got 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, his excellent defense is the key to the team's victory, it can be said that the Timberwolves can sweep the Suns, and his help to the team is not inferior to Gobert. However, the Timberwolves also had bad news in this game, their coach Finch was injured, and the two were carried out of the game, hoping he was okay.

Booker did his best, and Beal could leave the team in the offseason

Booker played the best performance of the series so far in this game, he shot 13 of 21 from the field, 3 of 5 from three-point range, got 49 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he scored 30 points in the second half, which is not far behind Huazi. Compared with the previous three games, Booker's biggest change is that he gave up passing and focused on individual offense, so he played as he should, and it can be said that Booker played playmaking all season, which delayed his performance.

Durant also played a very good performance, even better than the previous three games, he shot 12 of 17 from the field, 2 of 3 three-pointers got 33 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, this game Durant did his best at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the reason why he was able to play in the second half of this game is mainly because Booker supported the team in the first half, but it is obviously difficult for the two to play a team, even if they combined for 82 points.

Seeing this, some fans may say, isn't the Suns the Big Three? How did Bill play? Beal's performance in this game is really unwatchable, with 9 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals on 4-of-13 shooting, not to mention the inefficiency of his personal offense, he made a foul and a mistake at a critical moment, which directly buried the team's chance to win, in fact, Beal doesn't blame him for playing like this, after all, he really doesn't have the ball here.

To be honest, Durant and Booker's style of play is very conflicting, both of them are pure scorers, but the team's ball is enough for two people to play, and Beal and Durant, Booker's style of play is also conflicting, it can be said that the functions of the three are overlapping, so it also leads to the two playing, and the other one can't play, like G3 Durant and Beal played, Booker failed to play, and their three cores obviously didn't match.

In such a situation, the team is likely to change in the offseason, after all, their trio has failed and locked up salary space, and the most likely to leave the team must be Beal, who is the worst of the three. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Suns and Timberwolves?
