On April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and the results of today's game between the Suns and the Timberwolves are estimated to have been known, the Suns lost to the Timberwolves 116-122, and the Suns tried their best in this game, but they still lost in the face of the Timberwolves with better roster thickness. According to American media statistics, they are also the first super team in history to be swept when the triple core is healthy.

Booker was swept 49+6! Edwards 40+9, the first quarterback changed hands, and the gap between the two came out

This season's loss may make the Suns understand that the three cores they formed do not match, three pure scorers team, the ball can be divided into two people, but it is definitely not enough for the third, so it also leads to the team has two cores to play well, and the other one is difficult to play, this is not this game Booker and Durant played, Bill is iron, the last game was Bill and Durant played, Booker was sluggish.

Booker tried his best in this game, this is the best game he has played in the entire series so far, maybe from the beginning of the series Vogel let Booker play like this, maybe the Suns will not be swept away, at the beginning of the series, Vogel wanted Booker to be the core of the ball to let him connect the team, but Booker has been a scoring guard so far in his career, and he can't adapt to letting him play the No. 1 position, so he has been questioned a lot in the past three games.

But in this game, he gave up passing and focused on individual scoring after proving how good he is, he shot 13 of 21 from the field, 3 of 5 from three-point range with 49 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, he proved that he is still one of the best firepower in the league, Durant is also willing to assist him, this game Durant shot 12 of 17 from the field, 2 of 3 three-pointers got 33 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

However, after this round of the series, Booker's position as the first quarterback in the league will change hands, and there may be fans here who will say: Because of the first round of the series, can it be determined that Edwards is better than Booker? There is a saying that in terms of the performance played by Edwards in this round of the series, and the potential he showed, he is indeed more worthy of the league's first quarterback position than Booker, and Booker's 49+6 in this game is perfect enough, right? But Edwards is better in comparison.

Edwards shot 13 of 23 in the game, 7 of 13 three-pointers, got 40 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, just look at the score and projection efficiency Edwards is not as good as Booker, but this is only the performance of the whole game, in the second half Edwards scored 31 points on 11 of 15 shots, he has the kind of star temperament that is strong when he is strong, Booker also performed well and scored 30 points, Edwards scored 16 points in the key fourth quarter, Booker was 12 points, and 5 of these 12 points relied on free throws。

To be honest, the Suns' home whistle in this game is very obvious, they made 36 free throws as a team, Booker scored 21 by himself, and scored 20 points by relying on free throws, although Edwards also made a lot of free throws, a total of 10, but compared with Booker, it is more than half of it, if there are no free throws, or free throws, Booker's performance is obviously not as good as Edwards's, and in the playoffs with high confrontation intensity, Edwards performed better.

This is not a theory, but it is said that Edwards has played in the playoffs for 3 years so far in his career, and he has played very well, averaging 28.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs in his career, shooting 48% from the field and 39.4% from three-point range. Booker averaged 28 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 48% from the field and 38.9% from three-point range.

Booker has no room to rise, he may play smarter in the future than now, but in physical condition may not be better than now, Booker's strongest level is now, and Edwards's strongest level is not known to everyone, and this also involves another gap between the two, that is, the gap in talent, Booker's skills are very good, but he is far inferior to Edwards in terms of talent.

Huazi can ignore any defensive environment to complete a single meal, but Booker is not good because of his talent, he is easy to be locked by the opponent in the face of top defenders, this round of the series Jaden limited him very uncomfortable, talent determines the ceiling, which of them has a high ceiling, now anyone with a discerning eye can see it. The second is the ability to lead the team, Booker's good team performance in the previous years is thanks to Paul, and after losing Paul, he barely made the playoffs this season.

Booker's defensive ability is also not good, this is due to talent, but Edwards's defense is very good, he has the potential to become the best defense in the future, in this round of the series Edwards led the team to eliminate the Suns with the Big Three, he also proved himself, he not only took over Durant, he has the opportunity to become the face of the league in the future, he also took over Booker and became the league's first quarterback.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these two players?
