1-4 was out! Huazi put down his bold words, but the Timberwolves were heading for the end of the road, Finch was the most dangerous

The Minnesota Timberwolves have reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. Hua Zi has not beaten the unknown. The four major MVPs of Durant, Jokic, James and Curry have all become his stepping stones! When the Thunder and the Timberwolves met on the narrow road of the Western Conference Finals, Huazi felt powerless and "I shouldn't be able to call me every day,"! The 5 games of the series ended, and the Timberwolves were out 1-4 and hated again! Especially in the first quarter of G5, the Timberwolves scored only 9 points, setting a record for the lowest score in any single quarter of the team's playoffs history. Rather than saying that the Thunder's defense is too aggressive, it is better to say that the Timberwolves are in disarray and are in a defeat!

Timberwolves made heavy punches when they were fighting the Lakers Warriors Suns, but they were timid when they were hitting the Thunder. Huazi still has a long way to go before becoming the league's storefront, and there is at least one Alexander in the middle! In the five games of the Western Conference Finals, Huazi averaged 23 points + 7.4 rebounds + 4.6 assists, with shooting percentages of 47.1%, 28.2% and 68.8% in the three categories, leaving the court in disgrace. In contrast, Alexander averaged 31.4 points + 5.2 rebounds + 8.2 assists + 1.8 steals, with shooting percentages of 45.7%, 31.8% and 86.3% in the three categories, and was elected as the MVP of the Western Conference Finals unanimously. He also became the first player in NBA history to win the scoring champion + MVP + MVP in a single season, unprecedented!

The Timberwolves season ended early, and Huazi was convinced. In an interview, he said bluntly: The Thunder are prepared, and I will pay tribute to them in addition to taking off the hat! When talking about the two consecutive years of stopping the Western Conference Finals, Huazi expressed his feelings. He said: I will not describe this season as an injury. I am only 23 years old and there are many opportunities. I just feel sad for Conley. I am sorry that I have not been able to win the championship for two consecutive years. Finally, Huazi also put down his bold words: I will be the one who trains hardest this summer, and I will fight for Conley again next year.

is easier said than done. The Timberwolves are in the small ball market like the Thunder. The championship and team breaking down are often only between the front line. The Thunder can still enjoy the bonus of rookie for two years, but the Timberwolves are not so lucky! The completion of the Townslander big deal is to cut salaries and avoid taxes, while the team's salary space is still not optimistic. They may be heading towards the "end of the way" unique to the small ball market! Everything starts with money! Even though Gobert's five-year, $205 million contract has expired, and the three-year, $109.5 million new contract can increase the cost-effectiveness, the Timberwolves will face the renewal of the three main players this offseason, and there is no room for sloppy!

The first place is Randall, who has a player option worth $31 million next season. According to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, he is eligible to renew a four-year, $194 million contract with the Timberwolves in advance. In this year's playoffs, Randle's performance is the barometer of the Timberwolves' victory or defeat - in the first two rounds, Randle shined and was the key to the Timberwolves' promotion; in the Western Conference Finals, Randle was completely defeated back to his original form! In the 15 games of the playoffs, Randall averaged 21.7 points + 5.9 rebounds + 4.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.2%. Randall is a double-edged sword, which will also put the Timberwolves in a dilemma on their contract renewal.

The second place is Reed. In 15 games in the playoffs, Reed averaged 10.4 points + 4.7 rebounds + 1.7 assists + 1.7 three-pointers per game. He is the answer to the inside of the Timberwolves lineup. Reed has a $10.5 million player option. According to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, Reed can jump out of the player option and re-sign a new four-year, $87.2 million contract, or execute the player option to renew a $94.2 million contract. The third place is Devin. In 15 games in the playoffs, Devin averaged 8.7 points + 3.1 rebounds + 3.3 assists + 1.4 steals + 1.9 three-pointers per game. Divin has two years left in his contract, and he is eligible to renew a three-year, $64.5 million new contract in advance this summer.

I don't know how the Timberwolves management will deal with this series of contract renewal issues, but one thing is certain that the Timberwolves stopped in the Western Conference Finals again, and Finch is the most dangerous existence. Especially with the G4 and G5, the Timberwolves lost two ugly games almost the same way, without any adjustments, and even went further and further on the road to making mistakes! NBA famous artist Su pointed out incisively: Finch is to blame for the game like this, and there seems to be serious differences within the Timberwolves. The players are not satisfied with the coach's arrangements and commands, which may be the main reason for their defeat. When Finch encounters a disagreement, he may not be too far from being dismissed. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
