The season has come to an end, and it is the Mavericks and Celtics who are finally standing on the stage of the Finals. Needless to say, the Celtics naturally have a double exploration of the East Finals, plus Holiday , White , Boshen , Horford and other helpers at the core level of other teams, their team floor has reached the Finals level. The Mavericks' playoff journey, which eliminated the Clippers, Thunder and Timberwolves along the way, confirmed the success of the Eastern European combination, including two plug-and-play role players such as Gafford and Washington, who blocked and dismantled the cake and the frame to solve the problems of the Eastern European combination. This season, young people are quickly all-round on the top, when James is still not old, Durant is still thinking about joining hands with Booker to hit the championship, the younger generation such as Edwards, Doncic, Alexander has begun to slowly dominate the league, but young people will always have some shortcomings.

During the regular season this season, the Timberwolves' defensive efficiency has always been the first in the league (108.4), and it is faulty (since the second Celtics, it is above 110), obviously, Gobert + Towns + Reed The three interior lines have contributed a lot, and the biggest contributor is naturally Edwards, Averaging 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game in the regular season and 27.6 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in the playoffs, Edwards has taken on the role of the team's core boss, and even after some games, he will bluntly criticize the former boss Towns, or the best defensive player Gobert. However, with the media boasting and the fans cheering up, young people will inevitably swell and become more and more arrogant. Edwards, even more arrogant than Morant, who had repeatedly committed crimes before!

Here are a few examples! For example, at the Lakers' home court, swearing at Lakers fans (you should be glad I didn't spank your ass). For example, in the player tunnel at the Clippers' home court, Leonard was ridiculed for being old, and later the reporter confirmed that it was Edwards. And when the two appeared in the All-Star Weekend interview session, Leonard was very embarrassed to respond, I don't know what to say, let him say it! Edwards was even more arrogant and said that if he didn't tell you, then I wouldn't say it, and he said that if you ask me, I don't know. Basically that's what I'm telling you, the older generation to the younger! Including the West Duel against the Mavericks, Edwards also took the initiative to provoke Irving: Look how I deal with him! But the actual result was that G1 Irving easily scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the first game, chasing Edwards for military training, and Edwards was silent after the game.

What's even more speechless is that after the Timberwolves bid farewell to this season, the American media revealed that Edwards was very arrogant and domineering in the team, and he was caught by the camera alone, such as after G3 stopped the Mavericks with a three-point shot in the first game, Edwards returned to the bench and complained to Towns: This person said that he wanted to pass the ball to me, and then he fooled himself, and it was over with the pass! For example, G4 was dissatisfied on the bench: they all said to pass the ball to me, something (elegant expression)! For example, in the outgame, Edwards chased after Li Kaier and shouted: Hey, brother, pass the ball to me, damn it! Including after Downs often hit three-point irons, Edwards shook his head continuously, and then didn't try his best in defensive rounds, etc. Edwards himself was not satisfied, believing that the team was in the Western Conference and completely devoid of the atmosphere of unity in the first two rounds.

You must know that Morant's arrogance before was to join forces with Dillon Brooks, Jaren Jackson and others to the outside world, and released a bold statement: We have no opponents in the West, and the only opponents are the Celtics. As a result, he was educated by teams such as the Kings, Suns, and Lakers in turn, and this season he directly encountered the current world, and the injury list was as high as 13 at one time. Edwards is not only disrespectful to the famous supergiants, disrespectful to the fans, and even his own teammates, he is disrespectful! Let me cite two counter-examples to understand that Jokic, who led the team to win the championship last season, will even name those teammates who can't play during the championship parade, including Jordan Jr. who waved the flag and shouted on the bench, praising Jordan Jr. as an experienced mentor who leads the team forward.

What about the lovely Dewards himself? If he really feels that his teammates are not worthy of him, then he will play alone, but in the entire Western Conference Finals series, Edwards averaged only 24.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game, and the shooting rate was as low as 43% + 40.6%, and the true shooting rate fell directly to 53.9%! And the first three games in which the Timberwolves were given the match point by the Mavericks early were all reversed at the last moment, teammates couldn't help, Edwards himself was passing, passing the ball when he encountered a bag, or he was fighting against a strong attack, he was not at the level of Doncic and Irving, and when the team needed to score by himself, he immediately saved the team. And more crucially, Edwards doesn't have the means to handle the bag, standing outside the three-point line and passing, and breaking through to the basket to feed his teammates, are two different things.

The Timberwolves shuffle this summer has become a foregone conclusion, the Timberwolves management has been thinking about sending Towns away since last offseason, and Towns has a 4-year contract in the future, with salaries of $49.35 million + $53.3 million + $57.25 million + $61.19 million, for a total of $220 million over 4 years. Including the intention to upgrade Conley to Garland. However, in the stage of the team's planning to attack the championship, if Edwards continues to be so arrogant, he is doomed to achieve nothing. Before you succeed, it's best to keep your mouth shut and keep your head down and do things!
