Dual core scored only 21 points! 40-point superstar beats the Timberwolves? Fan: It s time for these two stars to retire

The two leading stars are not as good as the other side. The Timberwolves rely on substitutes at home? This game was a very strange loss! There was something wrong with the

The game started. Jaylenway raised his hand and scored two three-pointers, and the Thunder scored 6 points in a row at the beginning. On the other hand, Randall seemed to have lost his soul and scored 2 points in the first quarter. What's even more outrageous is Edwards, the scoring champion who averaged 26 points per game in the regular season, scored 4 points in the first half, and his 16-point performance was not as good as substitutes Walker (23 points) and Divinchenzo (21 points).

Thunder is not ruthless. Alexander scored 13 points in the first quarter, and his 21-point performance in the first half directly defeated his opponent's psychological defense. The most deadliest thing was in the third quarter. When the Timberwolves finally tied the score, Alexander made three mid-range jump shots, which forced the gap to widen. His quasi-triple double data with 40 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists throughout the game was a good show of leading the team with a single core.

Watching Homegren in the penalty area, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, Gobert was conquered. What's even more annoying is Jay Leonard, the second-in-command who usually averages 15 points per game, suddenly scored 34 points today, making 5 of 7 three-pointers, which is ridiculously accurate. In contrast, the Timberwolves starred in the two stars, Edwards made 5 of 16 shots, Randall scored 5 points in the game, and the two combined 21 points were exactly half of Alexander's score. There were surprises on the bench. Walker and Divinchenzo teamed up to score 44 points, with a total of 9 of 14 three-pointers. But anyone with discerning eyes can see that as a main player, the performance of a substitute cannot fill the hole. Especially in the third quarter, Edwards broke through three consecutive times and was blocked, and Randall couldn't even put in the empty basket.

Now the score is 1-3, and the Timberwolves have been forced to the edge of the cliff. What's even more terrifying is that statistics show that the teams behind 1-3 in NBA history have a probability of turning around with only 4.8%. The words that coach Fincher said after the game that we still have a chance to sound like self-comfort. After all, what can we do if we return to home court in this state of being a star?

When the substitute player tries hard to score points, the star with the maximum salary sleepwalking on the court. Some people say that this is deliberately making a bad move and want to change coaches, while others suspect that it involves over-the-counter trading. What's even more strange is that the Thunder made 18 free throws in the game, while the Timberwolves only had 9 free throws, and the referee's report has not made the key penalty public so far. How many unknown secrets do this seemingly ordinary Western Conference Finals hide?
