The gap between Huazi and Alexander is miserable today

In a game with a score difference of only 2 points, the score ratio of the two teams is 40-16, and the score ratio of the two leaders is 34-5, which is incredible.

The Thunder played a perfect playoff game today, Alexander scored 40 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds on 30 shots, dared to take on challenges, dared to shoot, was able to deliver passes to teammates, and achieved the ultimate in scoring and tandem, which can be called the best playoff game of his career, and of course, the scoring is also a career high.

Jalen Williams, the second-in-command, also delivered the best playoff game of his career today after stealth in the last game, scoring 34 points on 13-of-24 shooting and 6-of-9 three-pointers. Among them, he scored 14 points in the final quarter and withstood waves of counterattacks from Timberwolves role players. In the three rounds when he scored eight points in a row, he hit a three-pointer from Alexander's "crotch pass" and scored a step-back jumper, each of which served as an away silencer.

Compared to Jayway's outburst on the offensive end, his contribution on the defensive end will not be overshadowed, as a player in the defensive second team, he steadily delivered a team-high 3 steals, and there were no mistakes in the help defense position.

Alexander and Jay handed over an answer sheet with perfect scores in the playoffs for the big and second leaders. At the same time, Chet, the three-in-command, had 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, including the final decision against the Maidan nail board. The Thunder scored 95 of the team's 128 points, which was impeccable.

The Thunder played like this, and the Timberwolves held on until the whistle of the game before losing the game completely, showing resilience worthy of the unsparing support of the home crowd. Of course, some people are worthy of the words "do their best", and some people are completely lost.

The Timberwolves have 17 three-pointers in the whole team, and Huazi's three-point points are only 1 of 7, and the other three-point distribution: Maidan 3, Walker 4, Devine 5, these three are also the only three Timberwolves players who can get 20+.

All three of them shot 50 percent or more from three-point range, responding to nearly every Thunder blow to them. Maidan's impact under the basket seems to have regained the feeling of playing the Lakers. On the bench, Walker and DiVincenzo played as if they were the real duo of the Timberwolves, and in the final quarter, they were maintaining the difference and not being pulled apart.

As for the titular duo of the Timberwolves, Edwards and Randle, there is no voice today. Randle scored a goal in the opening game today and then completely messed up, both offensive and defensive ends, and at the end of the fourth quarter, he directly lost the opportunity to play, exactly the same as Downs in the East Finals G2.

Randle only scored 5 points on 1-of-7 in the whole game, following G2's 6 points, which once again set a new low in the playoffs, and the good reputation played in the first two rounds was overdrawn a little bit in the Western Finals. This is the first time Randle has taken shots in double digits in the playoffs, and the Thunder have made it extremely difficult for these two to catch the ball.

For Edwards, the Thunder still give the top quality of defense, blocking in front of you as much as possible to limit your catch, and there will be at least three or more people in your breakthrough path to interfere. Edwards played a little frustrated for most of the day, and in the face of such a defense, there was no desire to rush.

It's hard to understand such an Edwards, who just played 12-of-17 in his last game. The Thunder's defensive intensity is improving, but Edwards' offense is declining, and without the courage to draw the knife against the stronger, don't talk about anything to the next level.

He was 5 of 13 today, exactly the same number of shots as he hit in the first game of the Western Finals, and the look and feel of the game he played was also very frustrating to the fans. A truly strong player is supposed to evolve and improve in the playoffs, and Edwards feels like he has returned to the initial confusion.

The Timberwolves may be a little better than last year's Western Conference finals in that they didn't lose three games in a row to end the suspense of the series early, but after four games, they are still facing a 1-3 deficit situation, and they are very close to the final judgment.

What I've been expecting is that Edwards will be able to step out of his comfort zone and challenge the defenses that make him "uncomfortable" after last year's Western Conference finals. With 82 regular-season games a year, plus weak opponents in the first two rounds, Edwards can play in a more comfortable defensive environment most of the time and will not face defensive treatment like the Thunder.

If he continues to play like this, he will become an All-Star regular and earn a second or third team spot every year, but he may never go further and meet the ultimate expectations of the fans.

His talent determines that his lower limit is higher than the upper limit of most people, but his level of effort, his self-discipline, and his mental toughness determine whether he can be associated with the word greatness.

Of course, he still has a chance to turn the tables this season like his good brother Downs yesterday, and it is not yet time to draw conclusions, so be ashamed and be brave.
