The MVP of the night | Who can stop the Zion Williamson bulldozer?

DeMar DeRozan (42 points) would also have made a fine MVP of the night, but Zion Williamson’s performance against Wolves is also exceptional. The strong winger thus broke his career record (43 points at 14/21 shooting) but he especially scored the last 14 points for his team, to overturn the meeting!

“People remember the winners” says Zion Williamson. “When you think of the greatest players in history, the first thing that comes to mind are titles, and what they did in important moments. And that’s how I want to be remembered, as a winner. »

The strong winger explains that it was CJ McCollum who told him it was his time to shine.

“Our systems were very diverse at the end of the game” had fun besides the back. “We gave the ball to Z and we got out of his way! »

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this. I don’t know if we’ll ever see someone with such strength, such power, such speed and the ability to always jump, both sides while remaining balanced.”

For the former Blazers, his teammate is a unique model.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this. I don’t know if we’ll ever see someone with such strength, power, speed, and the ability to jump both sides while remaining balanced. He can jump left and right to finish, which makes it extremely difficult for the defenses. »

Despite Jaden McDaniels to hinder his dribble and Rudy Gobert in the second curtain, Wolves never managed to contain Zion Williamson, who systematically found the fault. Thanks to his power and his support.

For Chris Finch, his men have been “much too soft” in the second half against the opposing phenomenon.

“We let him come on us by being launched, by picking up speed. When he can do that, it’s complicated. » When he can do that, it’s even impossible to stop the Zion Williamson bulldozer.
