Wang Meng criticized the Timberwolves: Leader Hua Zi was not responsible enough, and the defensive collapse destroyed hope for the Western Conference Finals!

When the Timberwolves lost the G4 of the Western Conference Finals by 126-128 and fell behind the Thunder 1-3 with a big score, the famous commentator Wang Meng went to the nail on the head: "The leader's trial field is the real battlefield." Although Edwards' pass choice was amazing, the mistakes and defensive loopholes at critical moments exposed the shortcomings of this young team.

Core argument 1: Leadership Responsibility and Edwards' double-sided sex Edwards' performance this season is amazing - he competed with Garnett for 8 consecutive games in the opening season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 46.1%, but on the Western Conference Finals stage, his "super giant threshold" test has just begun. Wang Meng said bluntly: "Huazi's passing quality is impeccable, but what the leader needs is the ability to end the game." Faced with the Thunder's double-team, his weakness of breaking through the situation was amplified, and the frequent mistakes in the final quarter made fans even more distressed: "If he is as mature as Alexander, why is this?"

Core argument 2: Thunder Trident vs Timberwolves' single-core dilemma Alexander deserves the MVP call, but the Thunder won in the team-Jaylen Williams and Chet's dual-core stable output, making the Timberwolves lose one's eye. In contrast, the Timberwolves, the second leader Randall was addicted to "bullfighting" from the outside, gave up his low position advantage, and was defended by Dort to the point of doubting his life. Wang Meng commented sharply: "Let the 2.11-meter big man compete at the three-point line is simply a tactical suicide!"

Core argument 3: Can a miracle be performed? Historical data and Wolves hope that only 13 teams in NBA history will turn the tables when they are behind 1-3, but the Timberwolves are not without chips: Edwards' growth resilience: When he defeated the Nuggets in a 7-point 45-point victory in the semi-finals, he once said "do what he said" and eventually led the team to counterattack; Defensive adjustment space: If Randle returns to the low post and McDaniels strengthens his assisting defense, the Wolves still have the capital to deal with the Thunder; mentality determines the upper limit: Edwards admitted after the game, "We are not a strong team, but want to be regular visitors", and this soberness may become the foreshadowing of the Jedi counterattack.

Expert Perspective and Future Prospect Wang Meng called out: "Huazi needs to learn to pursue the overall situation of Green, and don't be an "impulsive star." Jokic's mutual appreciation for Edwards (actively caring when G6 was injured) may imply the inheritance between the super giants. If the Timberwolves can solve the defensive rotation and activate the second scoring point, the fighting spirit of the tiebreak level may be able to replicate the semi-final miracle.

Conclusion: 1-3 is not the end point, but the touchstone. Can Edwards cross the watershed between "all-stars" and "super giants"? The Timberwolves' counterattack script may be hidden in the cold night and blood of Minnesota.
