The NBA playoffs continued, and today the Timberwolves traveled to take on the Nuggets, who eventually won 106-99. In this game, Timberwolves star Edward shot 17 of 29 from the field, 3 of 7 from beyond the three-point line, scored 43 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and helped the team win the Timberwolves through his personal ability in the last moments. After winning against the Nuggets, their series was 1-0.
In the final moments of today's game, we saw Edwards' performance to turn the tide, and Edwards' improvement this year compared to last season is too obvious, which is why the Timberwolves are called the championship favorites by many fans this year. Because last season's Edwards was still a little immature, and this year's Edwards has become a superstar in the league, and his big heart has been showing more and more.
What's more important is that Edwards' style of play on the court is very fandomous, and every time he rolls over and backs up to make a jumper, every single, every dribble change of direction let us see Jordan's shadow. Even many fans think that he is a combination of Jordan and Kobe. Edwards is not yet 23 years old this year, and at this age when he can deliver such excellent average per game statistics in the playoffs, we are almost certain that he will lead the future development of the league for the next ten years, and he is the future face of the league.
James, Durant, and Curry are getting older and will likely retire in the next few years. While lamenting the retirement of these superstars, many fans are also thinking carefully about how to continue the motivation to watch the NBA. Because they don't think there is a player in the league who can make them want to continue watching the game, and now there is such a player. I'm afraid that many James, Durant and Curry fans will follow in his footsteps in the future and become his fans, and this player is Edwards.
What we can almost certainly say is that Edwards will have a great performance with the playoffs, or if the Timberwolves can win a championship this year, Edwards will attract a large number of fans. Maybe Edwards will become a superstar with a huge fan base like James, Kobe, Curry. Maybe the motivation of many fans to watch the game is also coming. Edwards is very young, and he will remain at his peak for at least another ten years. We can't imagine what he's going to achieve in 10 years' time, and we're almost certain that he's something to all of us fans to follow. A new national basketball icon was born.
