LeBron James and Nash's "Brain of the Field" continues to be updated, this time James interprets the Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards who just eliminated them on the show.
Speaking of Edwards' performance in the first round of the series, James said: "His progress is very obvious, especially in organizing offense. From last season's playoffs to this series, his improvement is obvious. Even when we were on a tight defense, he was still very patient. Sometimes we double-team him, sometimes we used other strategies to try to make him think more. He did feel the troubles our defense had brought to him, but he finally found a way to deal with it. I appreciate his performance, he continued to grow throughout the series, which would be of great benefit to his next game."
"We tried to do as much as possible. Can change the defensive strategy more because you can't let great players face the same defense all the time. Even if you try to double-team him, he has the ability to get rid of double-teams, break through double-teams, and show creativity. And he is still very strong, not the kind of player who can easily limit by double-teaming and tough confrontation. He has gained experience over time, is strong, has a low center of gravity, has excellent ball control, and has very accurate shooting. In addition, he trusts his teammates and allows them to perform better. Listen, we must praise the Timberwolves, they are really a very good team."
Speaking of Gobert's explosive performance in the series G5, James said: "Everything Rudy did in G5 is from Ant (Edwards) In the first four games, all the defensive attention is now on Ant, and all the game plans are formulated around Ant. Rudy benefits from this. In addition, when you have a player like Ant who is growing and changing, you can see his evolution, which also prompts players to want to go there. Regarding the free agent market, you also have to think about the long term. How do you improve the team? It is by introducing small puzzles. How can a good team become an outstanding team? One or two signings in the offseason will bring a qualitative leap. Ant has that temperament, attracting players to play around him. Because he is full of energy, he is very humorous, and he is full of competition."
When asked how far he thinks the Timberwolves can go in the playoffs, James said: "I focus on the remaining competition, there are many great teams left, but I expect them to have a chance to enter the Western Conference Finals, if not the Finals. Of course, health is wealth in the playoffs, but I think they have all the elements. They have shooting, hardness, body, speed underfoot, they have organizational skills, game experience, they have defense switching, which is what you need in the playoffs. They play extremely hard. You also have to praise their coaching team for knowing people and using them well. I think they have at least a chance to enter the Western Conference Finals, if not the Finals. They have that foundation."
