Beijing time on October 21, the NBA Timberwolves defeated the Rockets at home, the first quarter of the Timberwolves won 16 rebounds, the Rockets only 5, the Timberwolves won 8 rebounds in the front court, the Rockets 0, this gap is too big, although the Rockets also played a 45% shooting rate in a single quarter, but after the first quarter they were already 11 points behind, the gap in rebounds in the second quarter is not large, but the Timberwolves' single-quarter shooting rate is 16.8% higher than the Rockets, and the three-point shooting rate is 32.1% higher. The Timberwolves led by 27 points at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Rockets began to fight the rebounds, which made them not be hanged, which also made the Timberwolves lead by only 28 points in the third quarter, but these 28 points were enough to make the game lose suspense, and finally the score was fixed at 124-106, the Timberwolves won 18 points to win the regular season, and in this game, there was actually an interesting thing, the Timberwolves Champion Lang Anthony Edwards shouted, that seems too arrogant, right?
According to Chris Hine, anthony Edwards shouted at the Rockets bench in the second half of the game, he hoped that the Rockets could call a timeout, why let the opponent shout a timeout? Anthony Edwards said: "I told their coach they needed a timeout because it was hot in my hands. "Edwards scored 28 points and shot 47.6% from the field, which is indeed a sign of the heat of the hand, but in fact, his performance in the second half was far less than that in the first half...
In the first half of the game, Edwards scored 24 points + 57.1% of the shooting rate + 50% of the three-point shooting rate of 8 of 14 shots, and 85.7% of his points were scored in the first half, and in the second half of the game, Edwards only scored 5 points on 2-of-7 shooting, shooting 28.6%, which is really difficult to say that it is hot, but even if the feel is not so good, he really shouted to the Rockets bench during the second half of the game, which is a big "I am so fierce and not suspended?" The meaning, I have to say, this shouting is indeed too arrogant.
Of course, arrogance also has arrogant capital, the whole game Edwards cut 28 points, the Rockets this campaign no player can approach his score, more frightening is that in the face of such an arrogant Edwards, the Rockets backcourt core is not only unable to give a counterattack, they were also blown up, the Rockets' starting backcourt combination has 2021 Jaylen Green, the Rockets last season's core player Kevin Porter Jr., these 2 are the hope of the Rockets, but in this game, their performance is really too bad ...
Green only scored 9 points from 14 shots and 10 iron, his shooting percentage was 28.6%, his three-point shooting rate was as low as 16.7%, Porter Jr. scored 11 points on 12-point shooting and 8 irons, his shooting rate was 33.3%, and his three-point shooting rate was 28.6%, compared with Edwards' data, the Rockets' 2 backcourt core is eclipsed, the former Western Weak Timberwolves have stood up, and hope that in the near future, the Rockets in the post-James Harden era, they can get back on their feet, right?
