The Bones Hiland card wasn’t enough for the Wolves
Chris Finch had to struggle to find some offensive variety against the sun. Seeing that the handlers around Anthony Edwards couldn’t find a target, the Wolves coach went to look at the side of his bench.
To go out Bones Hyland. « I thought it was time to try something different. He was patient. He was very good in training, he did everything that was asked of him. Then we needed a spark », justifies the coach talking about a player who has been racking up “DNPs” in recent weeks.
A necessary spark, because if Anthony Edwards were to put on another show (40 points at 15/21), there weren’t many people around him, except for Julius Randle (21 points at 7/11). Rudy Gobert, who had a good night? Kicked out. Jaden McDaniels? 1/7 in strikeouts, like Donte DiVincenzo. Naz Reid? 2/12. Mike Conley? 0/5.
The leader/replacement guard was good on his team’s offense as soon as he entered the game in the second quarter, taking advantage of a Rudy Gobert screen at the head of the racket to punish. Then, in the final quarter, he scored two more goals from behind the arc on a set-up by Julius Randle.
In just 16 minutes, he gave 14 points (5/8 on shots including 4/6 from distance) and 3 assists, for a +7 score, the best ratio in his team. ” He was great, apart from a couple of turnovers I thought he was really, really good », greets his coach, who does not forget his two missed transmissions in the last period.
Anthony Edwards sees a star in his home
Bones Hyland, who set a new record this season, appreciated the participation in this match. ” When you enjoy your work and your journey, the basketball gods reward you. So I just stayed ready, worked hard, and tonight the shots managed to fall on me », Formulated by the former Nuggets and Clippers player, who has been less talked about since arriving in Minnesota.
But who keeps the confidence of his coach. ” It starts from the floor. He talks to me all the time, I appreciate that he keeps me updated on what’s going on. Like today, where he told me to be ready. It’s the little things we appreciate from a coach. »
One player is a particular fan of his play at Wolves: Anthony Edwards. ” That’s my boyfriend. I’ve been a fan of his for three years. If you’ve seen him play, you know he’s amazing at basketball. It was only a matter of time before he took the field, and tonight he showed why he belongs », jubilant at the back.
Ditirambich, the team leader said “ Everything » appreciates the game of his teammate with whom he trains a lot. ” Sometimes you can just see that some people are made to be stars. Maybe I don’t know all the criteria to be a star. But if I think I know them, I think he’s one of them “, says Anthony Edwards bluntly, almost forgetting that the Wolves still lost.
