Duan Ran: The new Thunder Third Young Master not only strives for the first championship in the team history, but also strives to the dream of the third Young Master

NBA West Final G5, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 124-94, and eliminated the latter 4-1 to enter the finals.

After the game, commentator Duan Ran commented: "Looking at this round of the series alone, the Thunder is the one who is more worthy of entering the finals than the Timberwolves. Defensive strategy, defensive rotation, defensive aggressiveness, and defensive focus, these keywords are shown by the Thunder in this playoffs. And the Timberwolves faced such a reliable defense, collapsed in three games... Behind such a high-pressure defense, the Thunder's whole nation is the soldiers, and the full investment of each of them on the defensive end. Now, the new Thunder Third Young Master is not only fighting for the first championship in the history of the Thunder, but also launching an impact on the unfinished dream of the older generation of Thunder Third Young Masters.

"On the Timberwolves, they have sent away the two legends James Curry this season, but in front of the more advanced Thunder on both offense and defense, they are timid. This series of games with the Thunder exposed them too many problems. And Edwards, the leader of this team, has also become the target of public criticism..."

In this game, Edwards did not play the performance the leader should have. He played 38 and a half minutes, made 7 of 18 shots (1 of 7 three-pointers), 4 of 6 free throws, only 19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, and made 3 mistakes, with a positive and negative value of -29 at the lowest level.
