461 to 460! The Thunder only won 1 point in four games! Edwards refused to admit his mistake

On May 27, in the Western Conference Final G4, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 126-128, and fell behind 1-3 in the total score. The Timberwolves scored a total of 64 points, more than half of the team's score. But the starting lineup was awkward, especially the two core players: Edwards and Randle. The two of them shot 6 of 20 shots, scoring a total of 21 points, 9 assists and 10 turnovers!

Edwards had only two shots in the first half. Facing the Thunder's high-intensity double-team, there was no way to find any solution. Huazi found a breakthrough opportunity when Harten was off the court in the third quarter. In the whole game, Huazi made 5 of 13 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 turnovers, and 3 fouls.

A star in the Western Conference Finals only made 13 shots, and 7 of them were three-pointers, which was indeed a bit soft. Randall performed well overall in the playoffs this year and was also lost in the Western Conference Finals: 1 of 7 shots was made in this game, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 3 free throws, and only scored 5 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 turnovers, including 3 mistakes in the first quarter! In four games of the Western Conference Finals, Randall has already pulled two games: G2 in the series, and he made 2 of 11 shots and scored only 6 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 turnovers. The Thunder crazily double-teamed Huazi and Randall, and they both failed to adapt to this high-intensity defense. In the first two rounds of the Lakers and Warriors, Randall scored 20+ in 8 of the 10 games, turning into a big killer in the inside!

Huazi's problem is that he has too many three-pointers and has the highest number of three-pointers in the regular season. In the four games of the Western Conference Finals, Huazi made 10 of 32 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of only 31.3%. Once he loses the three-pointer touch, Huazi's playing style will not pose any threat to the Thunder. At present, there is a big gap between him and Alexander's field control ability.

Moreover, Huazi has not realized his problem yet. In an interview after the game today, Huazi responded: "I don't think I'm struggling with playing, or my teammates struggling with playing. It's just that the Thunder has made a better game plan, which makes it difficult for us to get the ball. I don't shoot a lot, but this doesn't mean I'm not playing well..."

The first four games of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder's total score was 461 to 460 and netted 1 point, but the big score was 3-1! Do you think the Timberwolves still have hope?
