Why can t the Timberwolves beat Thunder? Su Qun s words hit the point

The G5 match of the Western Conference Finals came to an end, and the Timberwolves finally defeated the Thunder 94-124 and were eliminated 1-4. After the game, the well-known commentator Su Qun posted a message saying that the key to why the Timberwolves lost was that there were serious differences within the Timberwolves:

Su Qun said that the Timberwolves were defeated by the Thunder in the first half of the game, which has something to do with Edwards' speech after losing the last game. Because Edwards only scored 16 points in the last game and Randle only scored 5 points. After the game, the reporter asked Edwards why. Edwards said: "I didn't struggle (I can't play well), I'm executing the game plan." This sentence is very powerful. Very determined.

Su Qun believes that Edwards' answer is abnormal, because usually the leader of a team will take the initiative to take responsibility. For example, after the Pacers lose, Halliburton said, "The responsibility lies with me, and I will give me a better me in the next game." As a result, Halliburton scored 32 points and assisted 15 super triple-double, and there was no mistake.

But why did Edwards say this? Besides, we all know that Edwards is not the kind of star who has no sense of responsibility.

Su Qun believes that Edwards' words were not simply "passing the blame", but reflecting the serious differences within the Timberwolves and the players are not satisfied with the coach's arrangements and commands. The problem in the fourth game was not solved, but instead brought to the fifth game, a bizarre scene appeared: they only scored 9 points in the first quarter and fell 33 points behind in the first half. The game is so hard that it is impossible to win.

Su Qun said it very clearly, why did the Timberwolves lose miserably? This is not entirely a matter of strength. Indeed, the Timberwolves have made great progress along the way and have won many strong teams. To this day, it is not that they have no strength, but that there is indeed internal disunity and serious differences.

The key problem was the problem that occurred after the last game, and the team did not solve it immediately. The players brought their emotions to the fifth game. For example, the Timberwolves scored only 9 points in the first quarter. And interestingly, after Randle scored 3 points at the beginning, he did not score for four minutes. Then Edwards hit the basket single-handedly and scored 4 points in a row. The Timberwolves stopped attacking, and in the end he had to charge.

The Timberwolves scored 9 points in the first quarter, which is very abnormal. No matter how bad the team is, they will not lose so badly against the Thunder. The Timberwolves only scored 9 points in the quarter. Who would believe it? So Su Qun's words are still very reasonable. It is said that basketball is a team project. If there are internal differences, there is still a team to speak of and there is still a tacit understanding. It is impossible for such a team to win, and it is not surprising that it will be a crushing defeat.
