26 points defeated the Thunder! The Wolves fell into the trap, and two people couldn t play in the team, Huazi was defeated by SGA mentality

On May 21, the first game between the Thunder and the Timberwolves of the Western Conference Finals officially started today. Many fans may already know the final result. The Timberwolves lost to their opponents 88-114. The Timberwolves still had the advantage in the first half, but from the second half of the third quarter, they fell into a passive position. They were 10 points behind at the end of the third quarter, and completely entered the Thunder rhythm in the fourth quarter. In the end, they lost to their opponents with 26 points.

Edwards made 5 of 13 shots in the game, 3 of 8 three-pointers and scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. If you have watched the game, you know that Hua Zi played well in this game, and his opponent kept keeping a guard. Edwards immediately made three-pointers after the pick-and-roll. His efficiency was still good, but his mentality was broken by Alexander. In this game, facing Alexander's various fouls, Hua Zi rode on Alexander with the ball to throw Alexander to eat the T and also got stuck.

Edwards is indeed one of the most future players in the league in the active league with the potential for future appearance, but he is still too young. He is only 23 years old. Many times, the team is passive because he can't control his emotions. Last year, I don't know if everyone still remembers that Edwards asked to keep a guard against Irving, but he was run to death. He relied on oxygen to persist in the game. He used his emotions too much except for winning. Of course, this is also understood. He is too young and so talented, most people will be proud and complacent.

The Timberwolves fell into the Thunder's trap from the first quarter. The Thunder knew that Randall had strong firepower on the offensive end. Randall was the Timberwolves' biggest advantage against them, but the Thunder did not choose to attack Randall, but kept asking him to play singles to strictly prevent other players. Although Randall scored 20 points in the first half and helped the team lead the Thunder by 4 points at the end of the half, he obviously lacked strength in the second half and only scored 8 points. He had no strength and his teammates felt cold, so he did not continue the fight.

In this game, the Timberwolves relied entirely on Edwards and Randle to fight against the entire team of their opponents, which reminded me of the Suns this season. Booker and Durant are really good, with top personal abilities, but they did not enter the playoffs. Basketball is still a sport of 5 people. The Thunder put the Timberwolves in the core singles and eventually fell into the trap. In this game, except for the dual-core, the other players scored the most points with Dwen 9 points, followed by Walker's 8 points, and no one except them scored in double digits.

This game, the Thunder played their advantage against the Timberwolves. The Thunder team had strong three-point firepower, while the Timberwolves focused on squatting, which also allowed the Thunder to seize the opportunity. In this game, the Thunder team made 11 of 21 three-pointers, with a terrifying 52.4%. This was the opportunity for Jewish and Alexander to be obsessed with breaking through and killing, which affected their teammates' three-point shooting. Otherwise, the game might have ended long ago, and their shooting group was too outstanding.

In this game, Alexander regained his state during the regular season. The so-called state during the regular season is that Alexander has another whistle. Whoever defends against him in the first and third quarters will be fouled. So maybe everyone can understand why Huazi's mentality was broken. In this game, Alexander made 10 of 27 shots, made 11 of 14 free throws, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists, and made 0 of 4 three-pointers in the game. He doesn't even need three-pointers. As long as he can maintain the current dictatorship scale, Alexander will be the strongest offensive firepower among the remaining four teams.

Chett is the key to winning this game. He helped the team establish a leading advantage in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, he scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Although I can't defend your Randle's strength and impact, you Randle is not as high as me. I can use my advantage to beat Randle. In this game, Chett scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Jewe scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and the third young master scored 65 points.

In addition to the three young men, other Thunder players also performed well. Carson Wallace scored 3 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal in the whole game. His backcourt players who were defending their opponents also made Edwards very tired. After the game today, former Nuggets coach Malone, now serving as an ESPN commentator, talked about Alexander's performance and said: Alexander has proved why he can become an MVP.

The next depends on how the Timberwolves adjust in G2. If they are still boiled by the Frogs in warm water like today, they will probably suffer a two-game losing streak away, how to get the whole team to participate in the offense. Secondly, the limit on the Thunder's three-pointers should be done well, and in addition, the control mistakes. In this game, the Thunder used their opponent's mistakes to score 31 points. If these problems are not solved, this round of series may not reach Game 6 as predicted by the outside world.
