Huazi scored 23 points in 22: 0 of the first 10 was criticized for being criticized for being possessed by Green. 13 points in the last quarter could not stop the opening of the door.

On May 7, when Edwards led the Timberwolves to eliminate the Lakers with a total score of 4-1 in the first round, the Timberwolves ushered in their first game at home against the Warriors after 6 days. But Edwards obviously "restled". He made 0 of 8 in the first half of the game and 0 of 10 in the first half. He recovered slightly in the second half, but he still made 9 of 22 in the game, including 1 of 5 three-pointers. Edwards scored 13 points in the final quarter, and still made 22 shots in the whole game with only 23 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, which failed to stop the Timberwolves from the opening of the Western Conference semi-finals.

As one of the leading figures in the new generation of the NBA, Edwards led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals last season, and eventually lost to the Mavericks. After Edwards changed his helper from Towns to Randle this season, he led the Timberwolves to stumble in the regular season and ranked sixth in the Western Conference, and eliminated the Lakers led by James and Doncic 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs.

It was just that the Timberwolves resolved the battle in the first round of 5 games, which made them start the Western Conference semi-finals after 6 days, so they naturally "rest". The Warriors advanced to the tiebreak in the first round, and their form remained significantly better than the Timberwolves.

Under such circumstances, although the Timberwolves led the Warriors 20-18 in the first quarter, they once led the Warriors by 4 points. However, the Timberwolves scored only 11 points in the second quarter and performed poorly, and they continued to be suppressed by the Warriors who were injured in Curry in the second half, and the score difference was gradually widened to a 20-plus gap.

Edwards' downturn became a key factor in the Timberwolves' passiveness, and he continued to make a fuss in the first half. In the first quarter, Edwards played for 12 minutes, but he scored 0 of his 6 shots without a single point. He even missed a layup and did not make a tip-in, and he did not make any offensive status on the court.

Edwards continued to play for 8 minutes and 19 seconds in the second quarter. As a result, while Curry was injured and retreated early, Edwards still did not find his form. Edwards was limited to only missed two shots in the second quarter, and only scored 1 point by 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 1 point, 0 of 8 in the first half, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 steals. He had a weak presence on the court, and was also one of the important factors that the Timberwolves had only 11 points in a single quarter and only 31 points in the first half.

Media Law Murray complained about Edwards: "Jeren Green replaced Edwards, but he will continue to be locked by the Warriors!"

The change of sides and then played again. Edwards still missed the first two shots in the second half, and he had already made 0 of 10 shots on the court. Until 8 minutes and 02 seconds left in the third quarter, Edwards finally received an assist from Randle and completed a breakthrough layup to make his first goal. Edwards then received a wonderful pass from Randle again, breaking through again to complete 2+1, and he couldn't even hold on to the defense of Zhu Meng.

However, although Edwards recovered 4 of 7 shots in the third quarter and scored 9 points, he still only made 4 of 15 shots in the first three quarters and only scored 10 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. The Timberwolves lost 7 points in a single quarter 29-36, and was 20 points behind the Warriors in the first three quarters, and at most he was 23 points behind the gap.

and the final quarter, Edwards once led the Timberwolves to a 9-point difference, but the Warriors quickly expanded their double-digit lead again. Edwards then continued to score in and out of the field. He scored in double digits for the first time in the fourth quarter, and scored more than the first three quarters and only scored 10 points in the final quarter, but he was unable to stop the Timberwolves from losing at home and ended up in the Western Conference semi-finals.
