The surprise attack reveals his attitude! The Timberwolves unite and refuse to repeat the same mistake

Sports Weekly All-Media Reporter Li Hui

The Timberwolves, who returned to their home court, performed perfectly, and in the end they beat their opponents by 42 points. The suspense of the series undoubtedly reappeared after this game.

In addition to the two main players Edwards and Randle, the Timberwolves also had surprises in this game. He is Terence Shannon, a 24-year-old young player who came on as a substitute. During the entire playoffs, Shannon averaged 4.9 minutes of playing time and only averaged 3 points per game. Before today's game, he only scored 6 points in the playoffs. However, Shannon, who came on as a substitute for 13 minutes in this game, scored 15 points, and his score in this game was even higher than all the Thunder players. This undoubtedly proves why the Timberwolves won a big victory in this game.

On the defensive end, Shannon also made considerable contributions. He actively restricted the performance of Alexander, Jaylen Williams and others and achieved very positive results. After the game, Shannon's performance also won the recognition of his teammates and head coach.

Finch said, "I have been weighing whether to add another person in the rotation, a player who can open up space in the conversion offense. He is the type of player who attacks the basket, with good physical fitness and confrontation, and is a different type of player that we don't have in other positions." Edwards said, "As soon as Shannon came on the court, his vitality was full, and we can't expect more."

There is no doubt that surprises like Shannon showed the attitude of the Timberwolves. In a situation where they were behind 0-2, only by playing aggressiveness can they have the opportunity to retain the suspense of the series. More surprises stood up, and the Timberwolves also saw hope for a reversal. Before the start of G3, many people thought that the Timberwolves might have to accept the fate of sweeping, but in the end, they used a hearty big victory to retain the suspense of the series. Although they were still behind in the big score, the Timberwolves undoubtedly saw hope.

Edwards said after the game, "I don't think the situation in the series has changed. We are still behind. We only won one game. We can't be happy too early, but we don't have to be too frustrated. We have to win another game. The Thunder are the best team in the league, so we must be able to beat this team multiple times. You know, it will be difficult."

Last season's Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves lost Game 3 of the series without losing two consecutive games, and were eventually swept by the Mavericks gentleman. Now they have avoided repeating the same mistakes. Unlike last year, the Timberwolves did not let the Western Conference Finals lose their suspense early, and this round of the series is still full of highlights.
