It s not uncomfortable to get out of the Western Conference Finals! Edwards said it very directly, embrace Alexander and send blessings

On May 29, in the NBA Western Conference Finals G5, the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder 94-124, and were eliminated 1-4 in a big score. The Timberwolves seemed not ready in this game, and they fell into a slump when they came up. They only scored 9 points in the first quarter, and then fell into a passive position, falling behind by as much as 39 points at most, which also made the game lose its suspense early. With more than 6 minutes left in the final quarter, the Timberwolves replaced the main player and surrendered in advance.

For the Timberwolves, their performance this season is still very good, at least in the first two rounds of the playoffs, they advanced without being optimistic. In the first round, facing the third-place Lakers in the West, the outside world generally believed that the Lakers would advance, but they directly swept the Lakers with a 4-1 gentleman; then facing the Warriors in the semi-finals, they were not optimistic, but unfortunately Curry's injury changed the situation. In the end, the Timberwolves won four consecutive games after losing the first game and successfully advanced 4-1.

This is also the two consecutive years that the Timberwolves have reached the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately, they still haven't stepped through it. The team's history has not reached the finals yet. Edwards, the core of the team, was not uncomfortable with such a situation. His words after the game were also very direct, "Actually, I am very excited. I am only 23 years old. We didn't do it last year, and we didn't do it this year. Just keep working hard next year. Discomfort is a very bad word, and I should say I am very excited. I will practice more ruthless than anyone this summer, and I will make another move next year!"

As Edwards said, he is still very young, and these can be regarded as accumulating experience for him and continuing to attack next year. However, in the past two games, Edwards' performance has not been very good. G4 and G5 averaged only 17.5 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 38.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 14.3%. As the team leader, this performance is still a bit lacking. This is also what Edwards needs to improve this summer, and the team also needs to adjust the roster. Last year, the Western Conference Finals lost and the trade left Towns. I wonder if there will be any major adjustments this time.

The defeat of 30 points in the life-and-death battle, Edwards' mood was not affected much. It is estimated that they are ready to be eliminated. After all, the Thunder's strength is indeed above them. After the game, Edwards also hugged and greeted Alexander and gave the latter blessing. This time, Alexander was at an absolute advantage and led the team to advance to the finals. But for Edwards, the fight between the two has just begun, and there is a chance to achieve revenge next season.
