On May 25th, Beijing time, the results of today's Mavericks and Timberwolves are estimated to have been known, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the opponent 109-108, and it was also a quasi-lore, this game can be said to be the best performance of the overall strength of both sides, they both played their due advantages, but also showed their own shortcomings, but the playoffs are still the stage of stars after all, and the stars of both sides of this game showed a gap.

32 points + lore! 21 points on 17 shooting, a big gap between the lineup? The gap between Edwards and Doncic came out

We won't go into detail about the game process, but let's talk about the fourth quarter, in the third quarter, Doncic scored consecutive points to help the team chase down by only 7 points after falling behind by 15 points. In the final quarter, Irving teamed up with Washington to overtake the opponent with a wave of 8-0 climax, Reed hit two three-pointers in a row, Irving and Lively scored one after another, Conley and Edwards combined for 8 points to help the team lead by 5 points in the last 1 minute, Irving stopped the bleeding with three points, Edwards made a passing error, Doncic trained Gobert to overtake with three points, Reed missed three points, and the Mavericks narrowly won.

Doncic finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists on 10-of-23 shooting and 5-of-11 three-pointers in this game, and he has scored four triple-doubles in his last five playoff games, the fourth player in playoff history to do so, the others being Chamberlain, Magic and Jokic. In the first half, the Mavericks could be said to have played very passively, Irving was heavily guarded by opponents and his own poor form, he scored a total of 7 points in the first three quarters.

The team also trailed the Timberwolves by 18 points at one point, and in this case, Doncic stepped up in the fourth quarter, and he scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 4-of-6 shooting in a single quarter, leading the team to catch up with the difference and return to the suspense of the game. Doncic showed a supergiant temperament in this series, and although he only scored five points in the fourth quarter, he had a quasi-stunner and dished out five assists in a single quarter. Doncic also played very well in the last game, scoring 33 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the whole game, and scored 15 points in the final quarter to lead the team to reverse the opponent.

The playoffs have been supergiant, Edwards has received a lot of recognition in the first two rounds, how did he play in this round of the series? In the first game, he scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-16 shooting, and the overall offensive efficiency can be said to be very poor, and he only scored 6 points when the team needed to score in the final quarter, and his performance was far inferior to Doncic.

I thought Edwards could adjust this game, but his performance was still not good, 5 of 17 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers got 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and there were mistakes at critical moments, if it wasn't for this fatal mistake, the team would not have lost, Edwards is not good at handling the ball in the face of the pinch, compared to Doncic, a big core with the ball, his organizational ability is still lacking.

And Edwards' ability to control the game and experience is not as good as Doncic, although both are very young, but Edwards is only in the fourth year of his career, he is still a rookie on a rookie contract, although Doncic is only 25 years old, and it is only the sixth year of his career, but Doncic dominated the European basketball world at the age of 18, he had professional league experience before entering the league, and even said that it was very rich, Doncic's ball quotient is better than Huazi.

The biggest advantage of the Timberwolves over the Mavericks is the thickness of their lineup, their 8-man rotation has very good ability, and even their 8-man rotation to other teams are the existence of starting strength, in this case, as long as the Mavericks have a dual-core, they are indeed very passive, after all, the Mavericks' bench strength is really impossible to see, and Gafford and Jones still need to eat cakes in the starters, and they rely on the dual-core very much.

If you give the Mavericks' lineup to Huazi, he may not be able to make the playoffs, but Doncic has this ability, Irving did not play well in the first three quarters, he used his pass to drive the team very well, Doncic assisted 13 in the whole game, Washington scored 10 points and 5 rebounds under his tandem, Gafford got 16 points and 5 rebounds, and Lively scored 14 points and 9 rebounds.

The top ball-handling core can not only determine the team's lower limit, but also improve the team's ceiling, this is the way Edwards will go in the future, he can not stick to the ball like Doncic, but he can't be without the ability to shoot, Durant has been afraid of early pinching in his career, which is why he has not been able to catch up with James. Of course, Edwards is still young, he is only 22 years old, he can already be compared to the top stars in the league, and the current loss will allow him to better see the future and work hard.

Hopefully, both him and Doncic will be able to reach the heights that everyone expects in the future, but with that said, what do you have to say about these two players? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
