Minyabolis – after Timberwolves Game 1 of the semi -finals of the Western Conference though it though Golden State Warriors star Stephen CareyEarly exit, Minnesota coach Chris Vinci challenged the performance of the franchise star Anthony Edwards.
“It begins with ants,” Fench said after the wolves. 99-88 loss Tuesday night. “I thought he struggled, and then you can see the light coming out slightly for a while.”
Edwards, who was fourth in the league on average over the normal season at 27.6 points for each game, reached a point at the end of the first half by 0-FOR-8. Minnesota late 44-31 in the break.
He would have been absent from the first 10 shots in everything before making a basket, and ended with 23 points in the shooting 9 versus 23, including 1 against 5 on 3 throws.
Even after The left curry strain He left the match in the second quarter after scoring 13 points in 13 minutes, and the wolves were unable to make a lot of warmth. Golden State led by up to 23 points, and Minnesota has never cut off the deficit close to nine points in the second half.
Vinch said that the 23 -year -old Edwards’ spirit was not a thing that should be trained at this stage of the post -season.
“What should be talked about? You are the captain of the team,” Vinci said. “You must go out and set the tone. If a shot does not go, you still have to carry energy. If I have to talk to the players about getting the appropriate energy in the opening game in the second round, we will not be on the same page.”
Edwards, who had a theft in the first half, indicated while Minnesota Golden Station had been held to 44 points at 37.2 % of the shooting, and indicated his defense as evidence that his efforts were not what Vinci believed.
Three times before all the stars, any criticism may come with the loss though.
Edwards said: “People will try to blame anything, they blame anyone, they can blame me,” Edwards said. “[But] We only did not play well enough. “
The player was barely in Minnesota to suffer from twice. Julius RandelThe average of 22.6 points at 48.1 % of the shooting in the first round chain victory over Los Angeles LakersHe shot 4 for 11 on Tuesday, and the largest number of transformations was like a rebound, with three. Starting point goalkeeper Mike Conley I held without goals, and go 0 for 5. Donte DivinCenzo He scored seven points at 3- FOR-11 shooting (1 against 7 out of 3) off the bench.
“It is frustrating, but I was encouraged,” Randel said. “There are a lot of things as one team we can do better.
“We cannot harm ourselves, and we feel that we did that tonight.”
Minnesota Center Rudi Jubert He said, wait for the long wolves to start the second round – while the warriors fought with Houston Ructas For seven games for progress – affected the team.
“Maybe we needed to prepare to play a high -density game,” said Jobrt. “Not to play for six days, although we practiced, I think we did not really feel this intensity.”
The Wolves photographed 0 for 15 of 3 in the first half-the first half of the team in any game without making 3 since 2018 and the first half in a separate match without 3 since 2004-and 5 for only 29 for the game.
Among their close victory over Los Angeles in the first and opening round in the second round, the wolves achieved the worst of three points in the history of the American Professional League by going to 12 against 76 (15.8 %), according to Research Espn (at least from 50 attempts 3 points).
Edwards said, “Tonight, we did not shoot the ball well, but tonight ended,” Edwards said. “So, we will shoot the ball well.”
Fench also aims to execute his fast team, as he managed to manage only 10 points, although warriors committed 18 transformations.
“Making our transitional decisions was a demonic,” Vinci said. “Obviously, we could not hit a bullet, but I didn’t like the fact that we were unable to generate good clips over and over again. We must be able to do so.”
Konley, 37 -year -old, said wolves will have something better in Thursday 2 game.
“I expect a response,” said Conley. ))
