Huazi: I am very sorry that I failed to realize my dream for Conley. I will fight for him again

The Timberwolves lost a crushing defeat today and were almost beaten by the Thunder in the first quarter. The head of the company Edwards played 38 minutes today, made 7 of 18 shots, scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and returned to the bench in the last quarter. The camera captured a photo of him who was very desperate and unwilling to accept it.

After the game, Huazi and Conley were interviewed by the media, saying: "I am very sorry that I was unable to realize my dream for Conley. I promised him before, and I will not be depressed. On the contrary, I am very happy that we played in the Western Conference Finals. This is not easy. Each of us has paid a lot, but we can only stop there. No one will train harder than me this summer, and I will work hard to find opportunities for Conley again. "

Conley's contract has 10.77 million yuan left for one year, which is a full guarantee contract, no player options, no team options and incentive clauses. Conley is 37 years old this year and is a true veteran. To be honest, his annual salary is a bit more than 10 million yuan, but as a point guard, he has three points and the Timberwolves is willing to pay this price, so there is nothing to say.

Regular season average data: 71 appearances, 64 starts, 24.7 minutes per game, 40.0% shooting percentage, 41.0% three-point shooting percentage, 90.0% free throw shooting percentage, 2.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 8.2 points per game.

Playoff average data: In the Western Conference Finals, Conley averaged 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.

What is impressive is that last year, in order to motivate the players, Conley expressed his hope that everyone would help him and win the championship. This may be the last chance in his career, but he lost to the Mavericks led by Doncic. This year, he also lost to the Thunder led by Alexander. It can only be said that he is life. According to Huazi's performance this year, there are still many ways to go to win the championship, and maybe Conley will have to be without a championship for life.

Edwards also talked about the Thunder, and he said: "They are ready for the game, but we don't. Today, they have controlled the entire game from the beginning of the jump ball. They are like 15 puppets on the same rope, working tacitly and acting in a unified manner. "

"Losing means losing, there is no excuse, we will come back again. "

To be honest, the Timberwolves and the Thunder still have a gap in strength. Although Huazi was crazy, he said that his goal was the championship when eliminating the Warriors, and he did not take the Thunder seriously. He also looked at the statistics and performed Alexander's free throw in the interview. But to be honest, Alexander is really stronger than Huazi now, and at least in terms of tough problems, Huazi needs to go further.

Huazi often seems to be afraid to play, and he took two shots in the last half. As the absolute core of a team, no matter how severe the defense is, he should not only take two shots. The fight is too unaggressive.

4-1 is equivalent to a gentleman sweeping. I was really disappointed. The Timberwolves first passed the Lakers, then destroyed the Warriors, defeating the two largest traffic teams. As a result, they were beaten by the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and had no power to fight back. I wonder what fans of the two major traffic brigades would think? Is it disappointment? Or do you think winning against the Lakers and the Warriors is really just a lucky draw?
