On this training session, we delved deeper into studying the Timberwolves, their plays, what they will do offensively and defensively, pretty much like we do before every game. Throughout this year, someone was always missing in our games, either on our side or theirs.
Now, for the first time, both teams will be complete, so we’ll see. Minnesota boasts the league’s top defense. They’re aggressive on that end of the court, and that’s the key – we have to figure out how to deal with that. They have a lot of weapons on offense, utilizing nearly every player, and I hope we’ll have an answer to that challenge.
They are a very dangerous team, capable of adapting to any situation – playing with a small lineup or a taller one. We must avoid turnovers and take shots in every possession. That’s crucial. They are dangerous in transition, talented, everyone runs, and everyone can score”, Nikola Jokic said.
He also talked about Anthony Edwards, the best player of the opposing team.
“He’s incredible, a dangerous player. A talented player who has everything in his arsenal, and he also has teammates to support him. He’s a fun guy, I hope we’ll have fun too.”
