1:43am, 19 May 2025Basketball

After winning the first game, the Warriors were injured by Curry and were eliminated 1-4 innings by the Timberwolves.

In this round of series, Edwards' superstar performance was fully demonstrated. He was extremely influential on both offense and defense. He averaged 26.2 points, plus 7.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages: 47%/44%/69%.

It can be said that after the baptism of last season, Huazi has changed a lot this season, especially the shooting ability, which makes the opponent unable to defend. The Timberwolves' ability to advance is closely related to Huazi's performance, but there is one person who is also an important hero of the team, and he is Randle.

In this game, Randall continued his outstanding performance in the previous game, playing for 41 minutes, 11 of 21 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring the highest 31 points plus 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus-minus value +4.

Randall performed very well in the last game, made 11 of 21 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and scored 61 points with Huazi, helping the team defeat the Warriors 117-110 and get the match point.

Since the second round of the series, Randall has played well against the Warriors' small lineup, averaging 25.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting percentage of 53.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.6%, free throw shooting percentage of 95.7%, and cumulative plus-minus value +42. After the Warriors were eliminated, Cole said frankly that he could not defend him after the game. Cole: "Randall made an incredible performance. This round of series was too outstanding. He completed a qualitative leap, but we couldn't defend him at all." Compared with his time in the Knicks, Randle did make a qualitative leap. In the past, he got the ball, either singles all the way or shot from the outside. So throughout the game, four teammates watched him play. In this case, Randle's data often looks good, but the team's winning rate is quite low.

After coming to the Timberwolves, Randall is no longer reckless. As long as his teammates have good opportunities, he will pass it out as soon as possible, so he averaged 7.4 assists per game, setting a career playoff high.

In addition, when Huazi was double-teamed, he solved the pressure on the team to score well.

When the Timberwolves traded Towns, the Wolf Guan was criticized by fans, but judging from the current results, the team saved money and stabilized the team's strength, which was worth the deal.
