The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero, and the wind and waves are more urgent! The NBA is a league dominated by superstars, and no one can be young forever, but there are always people in their prime! Take the four finalist teams in the East and West of this season's playoffs, the top player of the Green Army, Tatum, is only 26 years old, the Mavericks' top Doncic is only 25 years old, the Pacers' top Haliburton is only 24 years old, and the Timberwolves head Huazi is only 22 years old. Among these 4 supernovas, Huazi is the youngest but the happiest, there are always helpers who come forward to reduce the burden for him, Downs, Gobert, Conley, Reed and others perform their duties to create surprises, and McDaniels also played a giant-level performance!

McDaniels was an unfortunate lucky one, he was selected by the Russian City Thunder with the 28th pick in the first round of the 2020 draft and was traded overnight to the freezing Minnesota Timberwolves! The first experience of the NBA world on the night of the Maidan draft shaped his quality of pampering and not being shocked, and also made him understand the truth that iron must be hard by itself! The Timberwolves are full of talent and the competition is bad, and Maidan can't fight for talent, but he has gained a firm foothold in the team by practicing hard, from the bench to the starter, every step is very solid! Even though Madan was reimbursed early for a fractured right hand at the end of last season's regular season and was out of the first round of the Timberwolves playoffs, the Timberwolves did not hesitate to offer him a four-year, $136 million contract in the offseason.

Considering that the Timberwolves' Big Three, Huazi, Towns and Gobert all have super cap salaries, many people think that the Timberwolves are too irrational to send this big contract to McDan, and it may even become a straw that crushes the team. This season, the Timberwolves have risen super in the West, ranking first in the league in defensive efficiency, and Maidans is the most important link in the Timberwolves defense, showing the terrifying ability from one defense to four! Especially in the playoffs, Maidan is the panacea on the offensive end, the kraft candy on the defensive end, and the offensive and defensive ends are too fragrant! Even the Timberwolves' star Huazi couldn't help but sigh when the team advanced to the Western Conference finals: Maidan is the MVP of these two series, I must reiterate again, Maidan is!

Huazi is by no means blindly bragging, but Maidan really lives up to his mission, and plays the role of Huazi's golden partner at both offensive and defensive ends! So far, Madan has played in 11 playoff games, averaging 33.5 minutes per game, averaging 12.4 points + 4.5 rebounds + 1.2 assists + 1 steal + 1.2 blocks + 1 three-pointer per game, shooting 50.5% from the field, 34.4% from three-point range, and 77.1% from the free throw line. Among them, in the first round of G2, Mai Dan scored 25 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists; In the first round of promotion, Maidan scored 18 points + 3 rebounds; In the second round of G6, Maidan blasted 21 points + 4 rebounds + 2 blocks; In the second round of the tie-break, Maidanhao scored 23 points + 6 rebounds + 2 steals + 1 block. This is Maidan, the more critical the game, the more trustworthy!

The Maidan can not only help the snow on the offensive end, but also the icing on the cake on the defensive end! The Timberwolves have the most abundant defensive resources and the most solid defensive system in the league, and the Maidan is an indispensable link, combining height, reach, strength and speed to prevent opponents from doubting their lives. For example, in the first round against the Suns, Booker and Beal only shot 23.1% of the goals in the athletic battle against Madan; Another example is facing the Nuggets in the second round, and he staged many famous scenes of facing Murray! According to statistics from the NBA's official website, so far in the playoffs, Madan has limited opponents' shooting percentage (at least 60 shots) to 34.6%, surpassing Pope (36.5%) and Gobert (38.3%) to rank first in the league! Perhaps, this is why the Timberwolves did not hesitate to give him a four-year, $136 million contract.

Madan has won widespread praise for his impeccable performance, and in the words of Timberwolves coach Finch, Madan always comes on the court with confidence, brings a sense of energy to the team, and ignites the team's fighting spirit every minute. When he can play aggressively on both ends of the floor, we always play the right basketball and go against all odds! That's right, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and every brick and tile is the foundation. Playing next to star players such as Huazi, Towns, Gobert, Conley, etc., Madan knows what he should do and what he can do, he does his job well, and once again gives us a glimpse of the Thunder's draft vision! Looking forward to Maidan's continued efforts, the Timberwolves need him to win the championship! Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
