Michael + Gornier + Durant, Timberwolves players explode in turn, 4-1 Lakers staged a black 6 miracle

In the NBA playoffs that ended today, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers 103-96 away, thus eliminating the Lakers 4-1 with a big score and advancing to the second round, while the Lakers stopped in the first round and ended the season.

For the Lakers, the third place in the Western Conference in the regular season is meaningless, and the combination of James and Doncic has declared a failure in the first season.

For the Timberwolves, they advanced to the second round again, and showed strong combat effectiveness and a united team atmosphere. In 5 games, except for the second game lost, the Timberwolves had players exploded in the other four games, and they were unable to defend.

2 players broke out in the first game. McDaniels, who started, scored 25 points and 9 rebounds on 11 of 13 shots, Reed, who made 8 of 12 shots, scored 23 points, plus Edwards' 22 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, Randle's 16 points, and the Timberwolves had a good start on the road.

The Timberwolves lost away from home in the second game, and one of the main reasons for the loss was that the players were fouled, Randall made 5 fouls, McDaniels made 5 fouls and had 4 fouls early, and Reed and Divincenzo also had 4 fouls. The playing time of the Timberwolves' main players became scattered, which also allowed the Lakers to win.

McDaniels scored another 30 points in the third game, and he made 13 of 22 shots. As it turned out, as long as he was not allowed to foul too much, the Lakers could not stop him. Edwards scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, and Randle scored 22 points.

In the fourth game, Edwards scored 43 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and Randle scored 25 points, McDaniels scored 16 points and 11 rebounds.

In the fifth game, Gobert transformed into O'Neal, scoring 27 points and 24 rebounds, including 9 of the frontcourt rebounds. Randall scored 23 points.

5 games in the entire series, McDaniels transformed into a simple version of Michael Jordan, averaging 17.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. The average score is not outrageous, but in the first and third games, he was a great contributor to the Timberwolves' winning.

Edwards is naturally an all-round version of Durant, averaging 26.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. In addition to the second game of losing, Edwards performed very stably, and had a timely outbreak of the fourth tough battle.

Gobert is regarded as a "toy" of Doncic and James by many domestic "experts" and "media". It is indeed average per game of 8.2 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, but he broke out, and this game was the one that sent James and Doncic home, so who is the toy?

In addition, Randall, who is unable to take on the position of being a star in the Knicks, is still good at being the second in command of the Timberwolves, averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. Reed, who is substitute, averages 11.6 points per game.

Generally speaking, the Timberwolves are not able to perform stably, but it is enough.

Their core Edwards and Randall basically output stably in every game to ensure the team's lower limit. Then Gobert, Reed, and McDaniels exploded from time to time to bring victory to the team. Even Conley Old scored a key three-pointer at the last moment. It can be said that the Timberwolves are really a teammate, and the team + superstar combination makes it reasonable to win.

In contrast, the Lakers averaged 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists per game, James averaged 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists per game, and Reeves averaged 16.2 points per game, but their scores were not important when they were important and were not that valuable.

In the end, the Timberwolves, who played better, won the series without any controversy.
