Anthony Edwards roams anxiety of injuries, raises wolves in game 2

Minneapolis-Abevor Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves won the so-called “biggest game of our career” on Thursday and the Golden State Warriors defeated 117: 93 for their Western Conference semi-final.

Edwards, who already played in a compromised ankle after he had injured him in game 4 of the first round against the Los Angeles Lakers, had to leave the game in the middle of the second quarter after he had controlled him when Warriors Big Man Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Jackson-Davis blocked Edwards' shot on the edge with 6:03 in the second quarter and sent him to the ground. With Edwards, who is already below him, Jackson-Davis accidentally landed on Edwards' left ankle.

When the game continued on the other side of the square, Edwards remained on the floor. The Wolves Center Rudy Gobert stopped the campaign by introducing the Warriors Guard Jimmy Butler and Minnesota with 5:56 in the second time Timeout and 37-19.

Jaden McDaniels, who was committed to Edwards, who went out of the Minnesota -Bench, supported by members of the Wolves Medical Personnel.

“In this case I was really concerned about it,” said Wolves coach Chris Finch after the game. “This, I really intended not to see him for the rest of the game to be honest.”

Minnesota protected his lead with Edwards Out, and Golden State only managed to lower the gap from 18 points to 17 to half -time when Julius Randle scored nine of his 24 points in the second quarter.

In the meantime, Edwards dealt with the Vice President of the Wolves for Medical Operations and Performance, David Hines. Hines led Edwards through a number of modalities to test the ankle on which he had still treated since the Lakers series, and after the Wolves losses of the wolves.

“As soon as we had to like the third movement in my ankle, I feel good.”[Hines] Has a great job to make sure I am good before I get out of it, so big to David. “

The 23-year-old of Edwards played even better after the injury and after half-time scored 13 of his 20 points on 4 against 6 shootings and got five of his nine rebounds. He also had five templates, three steals and one block.

Edwards achieved a team best plus minus from Plus-21 in 34 minutes and received universal service from his teammates for the Gutty performance.

“My husband has an immortal ankle,” said Wolve's striker Josh Minott when Edwards started his postgame interview with reporters in the changing room.

“He is one of the more resilient people I know,” said Julius Randle. “Nothing holds it down. He never misses games. Teams do so much attention and effort to stop him, he is never someone who looks a game … … I don't know, he is like Ironman. I have hit him as often as it was down.

The compliments reached Paul Bunyan-like dimensions when Edwards added his growing legacy on Thursday and helped the wolves to avoid a 0-2 hole against a more experienced Golden State team.

“He always finds a way,” said Nickeil Alexander Walker, who scored 20 points from the bank. “One thing about Ant, he won't sit outside. He has to be damn dead again.”

McDaniels, who had 16 points on 7-against-10 shooting, three blocks and three steals: “He has to chop off his leg or some S — [to come out]. “

Edwards was more critical of his game and pointed out the alley that Randle threw him in the third quarter for one of his 11 templates with high heights 11 templates and said that he should have separated it, but had to put it because he didn't jump high enough.

He also said that he generally had to score better in the basket in the basket after going 2 2-towards 4 on 2s and 4-to-9 on 2s.

“They let me get to the edge and I'm not ready, so it's kind of strange,” said Edwards. “I have to work on my finishing again and stop working on my 3s because they don't let me shoot 3s.”

Edwards swore to be in San Francisco in the line -up for game 3 in San Francisco, with the chance to go with a tense left thigh with Warriors star Stephen Curry in the series for an indefinite period.

“This was crazy,” said Edwards about his ankle excavation. “But I'm fine.”
