Defensive gate, top puzzle player! Whenever he is mentioned, do you regret the Lakers?

114:88! The Thunder won the Timberwolves at home, and they led their opponents 1:0 in the series and achieved a good start! Facing the high-intensity confrontation of the Thunder, the Timberwolves were a little at a loss and could not solve it at all. They made many low-level mistakes and many bad shots! This led to the Thunder taking away the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter.

After this game, the Timberwolves experienced the huge oppression brought by top defense. They no longer played easily and satisfactorily like the first and second rounds of the series! The oppression brought to them by the Thunder forces them to make greater changes and to make stronger counterattacks! Otherwise, the series might end early and the Timberwolves season ends here.

In this game, the Thunder's defense was impressive, especially the team's substitute Caruso. When he defended the Timberwolves' arrowhead Edwards, he really showed what a defensive star is and what a championship-level defense is! A top scorer like Edwards was forced to pass the ball under Caruso's defense, and he could not find a good chance to make a phone call!

In the end, Edwards had only 13 shots in the game, scoring 18 points, and had 4 personal mistakes on the court, and his plus-minus value on the court was -23, the lowest in the team! Edwards is obsessed with scoring. He is also famous for not liking to pass the ball in the league. He is more willing to believe in himself, and he is more willing to take a lot of shots in the game. But in this game, he was forced to be forced by Caruso. I have to sigh how huge the defensive pressure Caruso brings to his opponent, which makes his opponent feel a little desperate!

Caruso only scored 9 points in this game and only grabbed three individual rebounds! But his 9 points were all three-pointers. There is no doubt that Caruso has become the top 3D player in the league, especially on the defensive end, he is the best defensive player!

Every time when Caruso is mentioned, Lakers fans may feel very upset and even feel a little heartbroken! They had a great chance to keep Caruso at the beginning, and Caruso had proved himself in the finals, and he and James were very good! But the Lakers management was unwilling to give him a three-year $30 million contract, which hit Caruso! In the end, Caruso chose to go to other teams! Tucker, which the Lakers management values, is completely useless and delays the team!

I wonder if the Lakers management regrets it? Players like Tucker are now completely incomparable to Caruso. Now Tucker is gradually fading out of the league, but Caruso has become the top champion puzzle player in the league.
