New league facade! Edwards 12-2, defeated Jendoku, became famous in one game, only to win the championship

3:42am, 18 May 2025【Basketball】

The fifth battle between the Warriors and the Timberwolves began. In this game, Curry's injury has not healed and he still cannot play. Without Curry, the Warriors have lost three games in a row. If nothing unexpected happens, the Timberwolves will advance 4:1! Edwards will achieve a great feat and become a new alliance facade.

Before today's game, Coach Cole was also in the media and kept making inspiring remarks. First, he said that Butler was injured in the last game, but he would explode in this game. Secondly, he said that Boger would shine in this game today. Finally, he named Kumingga, believing that the latter could also play the best game in today's game. In the first quarter, after both sides came up, they played equally and failed to widen the score difference at the beginning. In the Timberwolves, Randall and Conley performed well, but at the beginning, Kumingga scored consecutively, with 3-pointers and dunks. However, at the end of this quarter, Divinchenzo scored 3-pointers and the Timberwolves took a 7-point lead, with a score of 30:23 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides came up and had a stalemate for a small quarter. Then, the Timberwolves' 3 points were completely opened. Reed, Conley, Huazi, and Divinchenzo all scored 3 points, and the gap was gradually widened. At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led by 15 points. The score of the second quarter was 62:47.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves began to exert force after coming up. Conley scored a 3-pointer, and then scored 5 points in a row. He led the team to quickly widen the gap to 21 points. After the third quarter, the score reached 93:72.

In the fourth quarter, the game has lost its suspense. Whenever the Warriors try to narrow the gap, Sun can always respond, and the two sides have been confronting each other around the gap of about 20 points.

Let’s take a look at the performance of the players on both sides in today’s game!

Warriors, through these games, one fact can be proved, that is, Butler is really old and no longer in his peak state. In addition, because the Warriors' lineup is too short, he puts too much energy on the defensive end, which also leads to his lack of skills and no way to do a good job in defense and attack. It is also possible that the Warriors are his last stop!

Drummond Green, through his performance in these games, also shows a problem. Green with Curry and Green without Curry are completely different things, and his performance is really inseparable from Curry.

Bojie's overall performance this year is quite outstanding. He is indeed worthy of training from the Warriors, but he lacks talent and has a low ceiling. He is qualified as a main player, but it is really difficult to become a star.

Kumingjia's offensive ability is absolutely fine, but his biggest problem is that it doesn't match the Warriors' system. There is good news for the Warriors that Kunmingjia plays well in this round of the series, and I believe his trading value is also considerable. In terms of the Timberwolves, Edwards has undoubtedly become the best performing star in the playoffs this year. None of them are some stars who have good offenses but not good defenses. Some stars have good defenses and cannot do offenses. Edwards has done a good job in both aspects.

Randall has completely transformed this year. He used to be a player with strong offense and weak defense, and was also called a soft-footed shrimp by many people. However, in this year's game, he not only played very hard at the basket, but also made a tough three-point shot. He was no longer awkward in the defensive end, and his organizational upgrades have been made.

The other Timberwolves players, except Conley, are all very young, tall and long arms, excellent athletic ability, and are not expensive. In the next few years, I believe they can go a long way with Edwards.

And after today's game, the Timberwolves advanced with a big score of 4:1. This is not the point, the point is that Edwards created a feat.

In last year's playoffs, the Timberwolves eliminated the Suns with a big score of 4:0, causing Durant to fail to win a game and was kicked out.

In the first round of this year's playoffs, the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers with a big score of 4:1, which is the team with James and Doncic, two superstars.

In the second round of this year's playoffs, the Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors with a big score of 4:1. Although Curry did not participate in the game, it may be a little regretful, but the Warriors are the Warriors.

Overall, Edwards eliminated James, Durant, and Curry, three veteran superstars, and their overall record reached 12-2. This result is enough to make Edward's proud and also make him a real league appearance. These three people happen to be his teammates in the Olympics.

After the end of today's game, Edwards and the league are both the biggest winners. Edwards has become the new league appearance, and the NBA has also found a spokesperson for the next 10 years. Finally, someone can take over the torch from veteran stars such as James, Durant, and Curry. It is really not easy. The NBA has been doing this for many years, but other stars cannot help them. Only Edwards can realize their wishes. Now it can be said that only one championship is missing.
