Reboosted by a highlights clip before Game 6, Anthony Edwards and his teammates snatched a Game 7 in Denver. Everything will be decided this Sunday, and very smart is anyone who can already announce the winner of this decisive meeting.
The All-Star guard, who averages 29.7 points in this series, already has his answer. “We are confident because we are a great team. We are going to face another great team and we have the feeling that we are the better team of the two. That’s all the confidence we need”, he explains.
The match to become a superstar
With three big victories in the series (26 points difference on average), including two in Denver, Chris Finch's troops can actually believe it. “The two successes in Denver don’t mean anything. They kicked our butts at home, so it's worthless. It's all about who will play the best in this game.”continues Anthony Edwards.
This match against the reigning champions is also an important step for the Wolves All-Star. Not only is it about joining Dallas in the conference final, but also about sending a strong message by bringing down the champion and Nikola Jokic, the 2024 MVP. Thus confirming his status as a superstar in the making.
“I want to win for myself,” he answers when asked if he wants to win for Mike Conley, who still has not won a Game 7 in his career after four attempts. “I wasn't there with Mike when he was playing those matches, so it has nothing to do with me. I want to win for myself. »
