Just today, Edwards broke Garnett's record and topped the team's all-time list
In today's NBA playoffs, the Timberwolves defeated the Suns with a score of 122-116, which was not only a thrilling game, but also showed Edwards' excellent performance and leadership qualities.
The course of the game can be described as ups and downs, the two teams went back and forth in the first quarter, and the Timberwolves only fell behind by a narrow margin of 1 point. In the second quarter, the Suns suppressed the Timberwolves' offense for a while. But with Edwards back in the field, his tough performance stabilized the team. The third quarter was the turning point of the game, with Edwards' outburst leading the Timberwolves to bite the score and set the stage for victory.
Edwards had a remarkable individual performance, contributing 40 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks. In particular, his scoring streak at crucial moments earned the team a valuable lead. Throughout the playoffs, Edwards averaged 31.0 points per game, surpassing Garnett's all-time playoff scoring record.
At the same time, the tacit cooperation of the team also contributed to it. Downs received an assist from Edwards at a crucial moment and hit a crucial three-pointer to stabilize the situation for the team. His performance showed the power of teamwork and played an important part in the team's victory.
Not only on the court, but Edwards' post-match statements also showed his humility. Despite his dazzling stats and team records, he attributed the victory to the efforts of the entire team and expressed his appreciation and respect for his teammates. This humble attitude gives a glimpse of what a true superstar should be.
The salary is 312 million! No draft picks for 7 years! The Suns are swept and lose the future, and the nightmare has just begun
The Suns suffered an unprecedented defeat in their recent game, when they were swept by the Timberwolves in the playoffs, which meant they lost not only the present, but also the hope for the future. The defeat marked the end of an era, and the total collapse of the Big Three was a source of deep despair.
Durant and Devin Booker, as the Suns' duo, did their best in the game, but their efforts were exchanged for ruthless defeats. Durant contributed 33 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in 46 minutes, while Devin Booker also worked hard to close the curtain with a 49-point performance. However, even with the peaking of the performance of both players, the Suns still couldn't win the game, which made people despair.
What's even more desperate is that the Suns are not only losing now, but the future is also bleak. Over the next two years, the Big Three's contracts will continue to cost the Suns a hefty salary. And even if you want to rebuild the team through trades, you face many difficulties. Durant's strength is undeniable, but his trade value makes it difficult to find a player better than him. Devin Booker, as the core of the team, is unlikely to be traded easily. Beal, another player, not only has a high contract, but also has the right to veto trades, making his departure almost impossible.
The Suns' problems are not limited to player contracts, but also include high salary bills and a lack of draft picks. Over the next two years, they will be the highest-paid team in the league, making the rebuild tougher. At the same time, the Suns will also lose the opportunity to pick young talent in the draft, as their draft picks have been overdrawn in previous trades.
In the face of such a predicament, the Suns' only remaining hope seems to be to rely on the existing Big Three. However, their quality and the huge payout on the team's wages make it difficult for the Suns to find the right helper. Even replacing Beal won't be enough to change the current situation, and the Suns' nightmare is just beginning.
