Edwards faced the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs this year, playing 5 games. Edwards made a total of 47 of 99 shots and scored 131 points.
Edwards averaged 26.2 points per game against the Warriors' defense in the second round. The shooting percentage is 47.4%.
In fact, if Curry was not injured in the second round, the Timberwolves would not have won so easily, and the battle was resolved within 5 games.
Curry was injured, and the Warriors' overall strength declined very significantly. Butler alone was unable to compete with the Timberwolves!
And Edwards' impact played a big role, upsetting the Warriors' defense line and finally leading the team to advance.
But in the Western Conference Finals, Edwards suffered a great test against the Thunder team with more balanced offense and defense, more outstanding strength, deeper lineup, complete personnel and better talent!
Edwards West played 5 games in the finals, made a total of 87 shots, hit 41 goals, scored 115 points, 37 rebounds and 23 assists.
Edwards averaged 23 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. shooting percentage is 47.1%. Edwards averaged points in the West Finals compared to the semi-finals.
Thunder's defense has a good effect on Edwards.
The total number of Western Conference Finals was only 5 games, of which Edwards scored below 20 points.
Edwards made 5 of 13 shots in the Western Conference Finals, scoring 18 points, shooting percentage of 38.5%; Edwards made 5 of 13 shots in the Western Conference Finals, scoring 16 points, shooting percentage of 38.5%; Edwards made 7 of 18 shots in the game, scoring 19 points, shooting percentage of 38.9%.
For the Timberwolves, it is difficult for the team to win if Edwards plays this offensive performance.
Thunder's defense is very targeted. Knowing that Edwards's breakthrough is strong, he focuses on limiting his breakthrough. Edwards broke into the inside and wanted to take action. He found that the inside was full of people, and they were all on his offensive route, and there was no good chance of making a phone.
He wanted to shoot, and the Thunder made him feel uncomfortable. The Thunder used Caruso, who had a good defense, to fight against Edwards. Caruso's defense is very skillful, always sticking to Edwards, and the distance is well controlled, so Edwards can only shoot with a strong shot if he wants to shoot. If he wants to break through, he will fall into the surround of the Thunder. Even though Edwards had all his strength, he had nowhere to exert force, and he always seemed to hit cotton.
Edwards ended this season like this, leaving regrets. Failed to lead the team to the finals.
Next, Edwards will focus on improving himself in the following aspects!
1. Improve the ability to break double-team! Edwards is still afraid of his opponents being on double-teams. Double-teaming means that there are teammates who have an open position. At this time, he can shoot faster and crack the opponent's defense very well. As the core of the team, it is common for being double-teamed and guarded. Edwards must adapt to this defense and this intensity and this confrontation.
2. The rhythm should be varied! Edwards now has many balls that are up and down, and it is easy for the opponent to judge his attack. In fact, the faster the breakthrough, the better. Sometimes, the faster the more you are, you will not have time to adjust and will fall into the net set by your opponent. There are fast and slow, and the pace is varied, making it more difficult for opponents to defend.
3. Improve mid-range shooting ability. Edwards has the ability to shoot mid-range, but this year his style of play has become "magic", either shooting three-pointers or breaking through to attack the basket. In fact, mid-range is very useful on the playoff stage and is very difficult to defend. The mid-range shooting position is neither up nor down, and the operation space is very large. The defensive players are not used to it. They pounce too fiercely and are easily broken through. The heavy and retreating defense gives Edwards a lot of opportunities to go out of the mobile phone in the middle distance. Jordan and Kobe used mid-range to solve the battle at many critical moments! Edwards wants to redevelop this skill. The Thunder's defense is to limit Edwards' three-pointers and breakthroughs. If Edwards shoots more in-mile and hits higher, it will disrupt the Thunder's defensive deployment.
4. Keep your mind stable! Make your heart stronger. Don't be influenced by others. We must continue to work hard, continue to forge ahead, continue to strengthen our shortcomings, and make ourselves stronger and more comprehensive.
5. Handle the ball faster and pass more timely. We should dominate the ball more reasonably, look at the opponent's defensive strategy, and deal with each other accordingly. Instead of relying more on talent to play. He wants to become more mature and more stable. Read the opponent's defense, seize the opponent's defense loopholes, pass the ball and assist or score points.
Edwards is very talented and he can do better. His future is bright.
