After the game, Anthony Edwards said, “I am very happy that we won the first game. They are respectable opponents, but I also have a group of good teammates to support me. I’m proud of the team.”
His playing attitude and skills are very similar to Jordan’s, and so is his fighting spirit.Although Anthony Edwards’ idol is Kevin Durant, outsiders believe that “Ant-Man” is the Michael Jordan of this generation, because the two have very similar playing styles, both have excellent static and dynamic talents, and also have “silky smoothness” ”’s shooting touch, with the experience accumulated in the league in recent years, has shone in the playoffs this season. During today’s (5th) game, Anthony Edwards behaved in a manner very similar to Michael Jordan’s. With only 1 minute and 43 seconds left in the game, Anthony Edwards called Karl-Anthony Towns, who was standing in the corner, to leave, allowing him space for a single. Then he put the ball in with a silky turning shot, which made foreign fans say “it really looks like Jordan”. ▲The Minnesota Timberwolves proved that they are no longer “Wu Xia Amon”.
