result

1. The Lakers are 109.1 points in the first round of 100 rounds, with the fourth highest turnover rate, and cannot break the Wolves' defense line (109.3 points in the first round of the Suns' first round).

2. Doncic fell ill for a game. 40-year-old James really couldn't dominate the offense and defense at the same time. Edwards G4 caught the Lakers' physical strength and scored 43 points in the second half.

3. The Timberwolves became the fourth-lowest team in the first round turnover rate. The top three were the Thunder Riders who crushed and the Pacers, who were already good at controlling mistakes. Edwards' last game was cold, but it could not cover up his performance in a very exciting round. 26.8 points and 8.4 rebounds are still secondary. The key is that he averaged 6.2 assists and 1.2 turnovers per game (assistance and loss ratio of 5.17!), this season Among the players with an assist rate of more than 25% in the latter stages, only Jerome and Harry have better assists and losses. Leaded by Edwards, the Wolves' handling of balls and running balls make the Lakers weak in the small lineup.

4. The Timberwolves have second in the first round in front board rate, second only to the Rockets, and their large-scale advantages are fully demonstrated, and this does not even have to count on Gobert (Gobert is present in this round, and the Wolves' front board rate is lower than that of him). "

"I predict that the Lakers 4-2 is based on previous expectations, confidence in superstars and potential yelling possibility (to be honest), and I didn't guess Lakers The man wins the tie-even because I think it will be difficult for them to delay the tie-even. The Lakers need to resolve the battle faster. But when the Lakers defeated G1 and Doncic in G3, the suspense of this round became smaller and smaller. The Lakers have no such fault tolerance. In fact, after the big deal, the Lakers are not regarded as a championship team. The small lineup sprint in the second half of the season makes people look forward to them higher, but the Lakers' lineup has not been fully built, and it is difficult to expect to be completely established in half a season. They still need a busy and fulfilling summer to seize the tail of James' career. "
