G1, Alexander became a hot search, and many people are discussing his ability to make fouls and free throws and the referee's call standards.

Alexander has played 12 games so far this year's playoffs, with a total of 110 free throws and 93 goals.

averaged 9.2 free throws and hit 7.8 goals. Free throw shooting percentage is 84.5%. Alexander has many free throws.

Alexander didn't feel good at the start of the game today, but in the first half of the first quarter, he got 7 free throws! This is really capable of creating fouls from the opponent!

Alexander made 12 fouls from his opponent in G1 today, and he got 14 free throws and hit 11 free throws!

Alexander can create an opponent's foul, but the key is still whether the referee will call the foul! Like Curry, you are often fouled by your opponent. This kind of action is used to fight against physical contact and referees call a foul, but if you put it on Curry, there is no whistle! Curry has long been accustomed to the common reason.

Like Harden can also get some whistles in the regular season, but the same action, the playoff referee does not call a foul. This also affected Harden's performance.

But Alexander can really create fouls for the opponent, and the referee really gives the whistle. When he feels bad, he can still go to the free throw line to get points, which can greatly alleviate the team's offensive pressure!

Timberwolves defended the iron gate McDaniels defended Alexander and left the court with 6 fouls early today.

Actually, Alexander had some free throws today, and the Saga thought he could not blow. The defender didn't touch him at all, so the referee whistled.

The excessive fouls were called and fouls also affected the mentality and rhythm of Timberwolves players! He was called a foul if he didn't have much contact. In one quarter, the whole team received five fouls early, and if he fouls, he would have to make a free throw. The Timberwolves didn't dare to continue to fight against the defensive intensity! Core players Edwards and McDaniels both both fouls! This also greatly affected their performance.

Sajia believes that the referee can call a foul! As long as the harsh standards are consistent! When Edwards does that foul, and can also create fouls, there is nothing to say.

Edwards' ability to create fouls is not that strong compared to Alexander. Edwards played 11 games this year in the playoffs, with a total of 64 free throws and 47 goals.

Edwards has averaged 5.8 free throws per game so far this year's playoffs, hitting 4.3 goals, and has a free throw shooting percentage of 73.4%. There is still a certain gap compared to Alexander's free throw count and free throw shooting percentage.

The blacksmith must be strong! Edwards' overall performance in G1 today was not good. He played in 37 minutes in the game, only made 5 of 13 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, and also made 4 mistakes. Some mistakes can be avoided!

In the most critical fourth quarter, just when the team's core strength was needed to turn the tide, Edwards made 0 of 1 shot, but failed to score 1 point in the final quarter, scored 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 turnovers.

The Timberwolves' second leader Randall performed well today. Randall made 9 of 13 shots in the game, including 5 of 6 three-pointers, and played very well. Randle is fully fire-making, while Edwards is not performing well, and it is still difficult for the Timberwolves to win in the Western Conference Finals!

Only when Edwards explodes and he fights better can the Timberwolves exert their stronger combat power! Only then can you compete with the Thunder!

Edwards should do better in the following aspects:

1. Control your emotions and relax your mindset! Today he threw the ball at Alexander because he was not calm and got a technical foul. He sent the opponent a free throw in vain. When the situation on the court is worse and more nervous, Edwards, as the core of the Timberwolves, the calmer he needs! The calmer he is, the stronger the Timberwolves will be!

2. Play on the offensive end! Edwards averaged 20.4 shots per game this year, and he only made 13 shots today. He needs to play more proactively and actively on the offensive end! If he can explode on the offensive end, the Thunder's defense will focus on Edwards, and the other Timberwolves teammates will have more opportunities to take action! Players like Gobert and Reed need Edwards to drive them, pass them, and create opportunities for them.

3. Adapt to the Thunder’s defense! The Thunder's defense is very targeted, and the inside is full of people, which means limiting Edwards' breakthrough! Edwards needs to find a way to crack the opponent's strict defense! Whether it is the referee's dictation standards or the Thunder's defensive strategy, Edwards has to adapt!

4. Control the number of errors! Some mistakes can be avoided! Be more cautious when handling the ball!

And Alexander also has many things to do better:

1. Improve shooting percentage! Alexander made only 10 of 27 shots today, with only 37% shooting percentage. Alexander felt cold at the beginning! Alexander should adjust his status in time to improve his ending ability.

2. Retrieve the feel of three-point shooting! Alexander G1 made 0 of 4 three-pointers, with a 0% three-point shooting percentage. These three-point shooting performed too poorly. In the regular season, Alexander averaged 5.7 three-pointers, hit 2.1 goals, and his three-point shooting percentage was 37.5%. After entering the playoffs, Alexander made a very bad three-point shooting, averaging 5.2 three-pointers, hitting 1.4 goals, and his three-point shooting percentage fell to 27.4%. This three-point shot is not Alexander's normal level! He wants to get back his three-point shooting feeling.
