Three games have been played in the Western Conference Finals, and the result was a surprise, the Timberwolves, who eliminated the Nuggets in the division semifinals, faced the Mavericks, who were not favored by the outside world, and the team lost three games in a row, and fell behind 0-3. In the history of the league, no team has been able to complete a comeback after falling behind 0-3, which means that the Mavericks have a high probability of advancing to the Finals, and for the Timberwolves, the team will have to work hard to avoid being swept next, and the probability of a team reversal is almost non-existent.

In this series, the biggest difference between the two teams is that there is a big gap in the play of the stars, Doncic and Irving's performance so far can be said to be the best for Towns and Edwards, and this is the key to the Mavericks' 3-0 lead. At critical moments in the game, Doncic and Irving can always score in their own way, and their super individual ability makes the Timberwolves helpless, no matter what defensive strategy they use, Doncic and Irving can complete the score, and they are both very hard-working.

Towns and Edwards, on the other hand, did not have such an ability, and the team had no players to step up in the final moments, and the Timberwolves lost the first three games of the Western Conference finals in the final moments. There is a good saying, it is useless to play role players well, the playoffs need stars to finish games, the Timberwolves' role players in the first three games have played well enough, Reed, McDaniels, Conley and Lee Kyle, they have done what they are capable of, but Towns and Edwards' ability to finish games does need to be improved, and they are far inferior to Doncic and Irving.

In the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, Doncic averaged 33 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, while Irving was able to get 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4.7 assists, and the two players could provide the team with 61 points per game, and the Western Conference Finals so far, the Mavericks have averaged only 110 points per game, that is to say, these two players will take most of the team's scores, completely carry the team's offensive banner, and play very stable. With Doncic and Irving as the base game, the other role players only need to add icing on the cake, and the team will be much easier to play, and the team floor is very high.

As for Edwards and Towns, their performance is very bad, with Edwards averaging only 22 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8 assists per game so far, averaging 3.3 turnovers per game, shooting only 38.6% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range. And Towns' performance is even more unacceptable, he can only average 15 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in three games, shooting 27.8% from the field and 13.6% from three-point range.

The duo averaged just 37 points per game in this series, 24 fewer than Doncic and Irving, which is a huge gap. The team lost all three games, which is enough to see that the role players really tried their best, the leader did not perform as well as the opponent, and the Timberwolves role players played well and it was useless, which was the main reason why the Timberwolves lost three games in a row.

For the young Timberwolves, the team's journey to the Western Conference Finals this season has been considered a success, and they want to go further, Edwards and Towns need to get better, especially Edwards, after the baptism of this year's playoffs, I hope he can usher in a metamorphosis, make his offensive skills more rich and stable, and be able to respond in tough battles, only if the team leader becomes stronger, then the team's ceiling will be higher.

For the Mavericks, this season is the best time to win the championship, in the case of not being favored by the outside world, they responded to the outside world's doubts with results, Doncic and Irving's cooperation is becoming more and more tacit, role players also have a bright play, Kidd's tactical play has also worked in this year's playoffs, the team is currently soaring, momentum is like a rainbow, if the follow-up can stay healthy, then the Mavericks have a chance to hit the championship this year.
