The Timberwolves really didn't show mercy this time, and Edwards, a young man, was directly on fire in the game and scored 36 points, which made the Suns completely powerless. After the game, Edwards said with a relaxed face that he had talked to Durant before that he would go all out and prove himself with strength. Unexpectedly, this game was really as he predicted, and the Timberwolves made the Suns speechless in an almost crushing posture.
Come to think of it, it's a bit dramatic. The conversation between Edwards and Durant may be more than just an ordinary chat for him. He made it clear to Durant that the Timberwolves would make the Suns lose all four games, which is like a fortune telling, and as a result, it looks like it could come true. No, the Timberwolves gave the Suns a resounding slap in the face in the first game.
You see, when Edwards said this, it was not only a challenge to the Suns, but also a holiday preview for Durant and James: "You two go fishing, we have already arranged this year's playoffs." Why does this sound so funny? It makes people laugh, and it's no wonder that so many fans retweet this and discuss it non-stop.
And for the other details of the game, we can't ignore either. Durant's performance in this game was not very ideal, shooting 8 of 18 from the field, and the scoring efficiency was not high, which may be a small blow for him. However, from another point of view, it also shows Edwards' determination and strength, he is fearless on the court, and it can even be said that he shows his uniqueness in front of his idols.
The Suns' performance was even more disappointing. From the beginning to the end of the game, they almost failed to find effective countermeasures, and they were beaten passively throughout the whole process. Beal and Devin Booker are two players, and this game can only be described as decent, far from meeting the expectations of fans and experts.
Edwards' performance was not only shocking on the technical level, but also gave the team and fans a great encouragement on the mental level. His self-confidence and provocation seem to be a sign of the Timberwolves' strong momentum this season. As the playoffs go deeper, it's reasonable to expect them to go far and maybe really do what Edwards wants, all the way through to that crown.
On the other hand, for Durant and James, despite the current disadvantage of their teams, they are still stars who are respected and loved by countless fans. Regardless of the outcome, they have already left a mark on basketball history. And Edwards's words, perhaps, in the future, will become a testament to the friendly competition between them, who knows?
Of course, the matchup between the Lakers and the Nuggets is also worth mentioning. Although the Lakers led at one point, it still looked difficult to resist the onslaught of the Nuggets overall. Harden's team is also at a disadvantage against the Mavericks, and it seems that they will need to find a breakthrough in the next game.
In short, this match is not only a display of sports, but also a contest of will, strength and respect. Edwards' performance has given us so many surprises and made us look forward to the playoffs ahead. Hopefully they can continue that momentum and bring us more exciting games."
