Edwards eliminates "Janduku" to ascend the new king

On May 15, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 121-110 at home and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-1.

23-year-old Anthony Edwards personally ended Curry's season with a comprehensive performance of 22 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks, and reached a career 1,000-point milestone in the playoffs, becoming the sixth player in history to unlock this achievement before the age of 24 after Kobe, James, Durant and other super giants.

In this round of series, Edwards' superstar quality was fully demonstrated. He was extremely influential on both offense and defense. He averaged 26.2 points, plus 7.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages: 47%/44%/69%.

What is even more shocking is that he led the team to the Western Conference Final for two consecutive years and knocked down nine superstars including James, Curry, Durant, Jokic and others in the knockout round. He can be called a "old superstar gravedigger."

Edwards' playoff journey is like a "super giant sniper history":

2023 first round: sweeps the Suns' three giants Durant, Booker, and Bill;

2023 second round: eliminates the defending champion Nuggets led by Jokic;

2024 first round: Black Six Lakers end James Season 22;

2024 second round: Gentlemen sweep the Warriors, Curry and Butler were eliminated in dismay.

Faced with the three top ten superstars in history, Edwards averaged 28.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, with a real shooting percentage of 58.3%, scoring first in the league at critical moments.

The Ringer commented: "He cuts the opponent's defense like a scalpel and rewrites the league's power structure with the fearlessness of young people."

Edwards' rise marks that the NBA seems to have entered the "post-Janduku era". Next, he will face the ultimate test of the Western Conference Finals.

If you face the Thunder, the "new generation point guard showdown" with Alexander will trigger a topic; if you fight Jokic again, it will be a sequel to the grudge between "God Slayer" and "the first person in service".

From being questioned about "only knowing how to play singles" to becoming a leader who transformed into an offense and defense, Edwards spent two years completing the leap from a new star to a super giant.

When James, Curry and Durant gradually faded out of their peak, this 23-year-old young man was writing his own legend in the form of "god killing". As the fans said: "We are witnessing history - an era that belongs to Edwards has arrived."
