Text/Jiang Shihua

At noon on May 13, a focus battle in the NBA Western Conference semi-finals was staged as scheduled. The two sides against the Golden State Warriors fighting at home against the Timberwolves. Driven by Edwards and Randall, the Timberwolves led the Warriors at most 21 points. After the game, the Timberwolves defeated their subordinates 117-110 to get the series match point, and the Warriors were only one step away from being eliminated. It has to be said that it is difficult for Curry to avenge Jendu.

The key to winning the teams in the playoffs is two points: one is about the quality of the defense, and the other is about the performance of the stars. At these two points today, the Timberwolves clearly have the upper hand. On the defensive end, both the restrictions on Butler and the close-fitting defense of Hilder are done very well. In particular, limiting the three-point shooting percentage that the Warriors are good at is below 30%, which shows the high quality of defense. On the offensive end, Edwards and Randle joined forces to score 21 points today, especially Edwards scored 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, helping the Timberwolves lead by more than 20 points in one fell swoop. The suspense of the game ended, perfectly interpreting the role of the star.

As we all know, Edwards had eliminated Durant and James in the playoffs. When the Warriors and the Timberwolves met in the narrow road in the Western Conference semi-finals, they thought Curry could avenge Jendu, but his ideals were full and reality was skinny. Curry suffered an injury in the first game of the Western Conference semi-finals, although he could theoretically return to the sixth game. However, with a 1-3 trailing behind, the fifth game was played at the Timberwolves' home court. Curry probably didn't have time to make a comeback and the series was over. In other words, Curry wants to avenge James Durant for defending the dignity of the post-80s star, which is no longer realistic at the moment.
