In the game between the Suns and the Timberwolves on April 29, Beijing time, the Suns' state in a desperate situation in this game was much improved compared to before, which also allowed them to maintain the lead in the first half, and they did not give the Timberwolves enough advantage in the second half. Helplessly, in the final quarter, Forest could still be suppressed by defense, and Edwards could also score consecutive goals to kill the game, and finally swept the Suns 122-116 to complete the promotion.
This performance of Edwards and Downs is truly terrifying. In the playoffs, no matter what time it is, Edwards can maintain a tough enough attitude. As long as you are given the opportunity, you can definitely score, and this kind of temperament can improve the aggressiveness of the team. And as far as the play on the court is concerned, the breakthrough is very fast, one step is passed, and then one confrontation is three steps slower, or it is a violent dunk. In addition, he can score three points, and he can also finish his up, and he is too comprehensive, 40+9+6 in the whole game.
Then there's Downs, who is also very aggressive on the inside. Because Towns is a player who can play both inside and outside, and he can't limit the Suns under the basket. Under this trend, Downs can easily dominate the field, 28+10.
And McDaniels also completed a supporting role. Just by looking at the defense, he can take a single point. And when he had a chance on the offensive end, McDaniels could make a shot. With 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting, he gave the team 100 per cent.
On the other hand, the Suns, Durant and Booker have exhausted their strength. Booker scored 49 points on 13-of-21 shooting, and that scoring aggressiveness has found itself at its peak. Don't forget, he can attack with the ball, and the opposite side can't be limited at all. There is also Durant, who has also contributed a lot to the overall offense and defense. The defensive end can continuously interfere with the opponent's scoring, and the offensive end has a 33+9+5 stat on 12-of-17. This hit rate is a huge improvement compared to before. It's a pity that when these two people go berserk, the other players can't give 100% contribution, which creates a gap.
