The seconds tick by and the Nuggets will validate a second victory in a row to return to a tie (2-2) in this conference semi-final. Anthony Edwards then walks towards Jamal Murray, clapping. He drops a few words to the Denver playmaker.
“I told him we loved it. That he had to keep talking like that. That’s what we like,” tells Minnesota guardauthor of 44 points in this match. ” I loved. He didn't say anything, but I'm pretty sure he heard. They heard me. We live for these moments. »
Happy to be in such a situation
Anthony Edwards likes duels and it's worth stirring things up with Murray, who regained his effectiveness during the matches in Minnesota. But the 2023 champion did not want to comment on this image with his opponent, preferring to pay tribute to him. “It’s difficult to defend on him, he’s explosive. He's still in attack mode.”delivers the Canadian.
The Wolves guard has indeed been impressive since the start of the series with an average of 33.3 points at 60% shooting success. But that's not enough to rule out the Nuggets, who have heart. Still, the smell of blood, that of the Nuggets at the beginning, that of the Wolves now, attracts the All-Star's greed.
“I don’t think they have any momentum. We won two matches, too,” he says. “Now it’s the one who will win two more games. I don't know how people see things, but I'm happy. I'm ready. I fight at the highest level. I smile because I'm happy, ready to play. If we played this Monday, I would be ready. It will be fun. »
