NBA players have potential, are young, and they are cultivated with emphasis. It is normal, especially the high-ranking rookies. Many of them will be trained as future stars by the team for a period of time. If he can play out, then he may become the future of the team. The core members and even cornerstone players, such as Curry of the Warriors, such as the Celtics' double tentacles Tatum and Jaylen Brown. If not, then the team will decisively give up, such as the Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr., such as the guard Stuckey selected by the Pistons.
The current high-ranking rookie in the NBA, if you go to a weak team, you will have a lot of ball possessions, such as this year's No. 1 pick and the flower show, No. 1 pick Edwards, in a bad team like the Timberwolves, won a lot of possessions The team coach is also very tolerant of his downturn and is ready to give him enough time. The prospective showman, Ramelo Ball, did not perform well when he played off the bench and made a lot of turnovers. However, after he mentioned that he played well after starting, the team also gave him a lot of trust, and even the big brother Hayward often gave it. He played the ball and was full of praise for Ramello. But if a high-ranking player goes to a strong team, there are actually not many opportunities, such as Wiseman this year, such as the 2003 Golden Generation second-best pick Milisic, he went to the Pistons at that time, and he was completely denied the opportunity. Coach Larry Brown was excluded from the rotation.
Let’s focus on Edwards, the Timberwolves champion. Edwards has been ranked No. 1 in the rookie list in previous periods, but he has fallen behind recently, and the No. 1 has become Ramello Ball. Edwards got a lot of mobile phone meetings in the Timberwolves, and coach Sanders Jr. seemed to give him unlimited firepower. However, Edwards' own style of play also seems to be too independent, with a low shooting percentage and low efficiency, but he still doesn't like passing. It’s understandable not to pass the ball before. After all, there is no big brother like Towns and Russell around him. But in the last two games, Towns has come back. He still doesn’t pass the ball and hits the ball by himself. I hate it.
In the last game in which the Timberwolves lost to the Lakers, Towns made 7 of 10 shots in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Towns simply didn’t get a shot. The whole quarter was Edward. I’m shooting. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Lakers played a wave.Edwards' firepower couldn't stand it, and the Timberwolves lost.
In today's game, the Timberwolves faced the Pacers. Edwards was very alone again. He was alone in the last game. It is slightly understandable. After all, he felt good in the last game. You can beat you more. It makes sense. But in today's game, Edwards made 3 of 15 shots in the field, and he was out of bounds, but he still went his own way in the fourth quarter and didn't pass the ball to Towns at all. The most incomprehensible thing is that the last attack in regular time was tied. With the last 11 seconds left, the Timberwolves attacked. Edwards actually took the time from the outside, and then the lore did it himself. The final result was that the lore did not score, the Timberwolves lost in overtime and suffered a two-game losing streak.
Edwards, you are only 19 years old. What happened to you letting your brother Downs vote for this kind of opportunity? And after the game, West coach Sanders also said that the tactical arrangement of this ball is for Towns or Edwards to deal with. If Towns handles it, Towns can judge how to attack according to the situation on the field. If Edwards handles it, then Let Edwards break through to the end, but Edwards just didn't listen to the arrangement and made a difficult defensive shot from outside the three-point line. As a result, the ball bounced out a few times, and the lore failed.
In these two games, Edwards' "Lone Wolf" style was vividly displayed. In the previous game, Edwards had 4 of 13 shots, 3 of 14 shots, 6 of 16 shots, and 5 of 16 shots. In the game, 6 of 19 shots. Throughout the season, Edwards averaged 14.6 points per game, shooting only a dismal 38.3%, and shooting 31.9% from three-pointers. As a shooting guard, Edwards failed this performance. Edwards should understand early that there is a time limit for being "trained" and "spoiled". If you can't perform well within the time limit, then the first type of player to be eliminated in the NBA is the "weak ability and unique style." Defender.
