« Vando is the best in the world! The best in the world ! I repeat: the best in the world! Anthony Edwards had a clear message to get across, lurking (twice!) In the post-game press conference of his teammate, Jarred Vanderbilt.
The enthusiasm of the back of the Wolves is linked to the very big performance of his strong winger, on the floor of the Rockets last night. Proud to play in front of his friends and family in Houston, where he was born, he compiled 21 points (10/14 on shots), 19 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals for 40 evaluation! In other words, two career records in the first two categories mentioned.
After the meeting, he made no secret that he is trying to reach the symbolic bar of 20 rebounds in the same game since the start of the season. The second round of the 2018 Draft (41st choice) had stopped at 16 units so far. ” I’m still a little short, but it’s okay. I realized I was at 18, and heard the bench scream at me to take two more. So I fought to try. »
Still missed. This does not detract from the performance of one who comes out as the revelation of the season for Wolves. Thanks to its shadow work, especially on rebounds, Minnesota is one of the teams that offers itself the most second chances, and therefore one of those that shoots the most. With more than three offensive rebounds per game, he occupies 9th place in this category. In front of him, only pivots …
Ten successful shots including… eight dunks!
Capturing an offensive rebound is good, but on condition that you make good use of it behind. ” I’m just trying to analyze my surroundings. If I catch the ball in traffic and know there are a lot of players, I try to find someone to come out. If there are three guys and I, one player is open, but if I have a little one on me, I look to go up. What if his teammates fail again? He would go bounce fishing again, he laughed.
Last night, he captured six offensive rebounds but he especially shone with his cuts to the circle, sometimes served by Karl-Anthony Towns or Naz Reid, and on the “pick-and-roll” with D’Angelo Russell to register his points. He took advantage of the Rockets’ disastrous interior defense, one of the worst in terms of points conceded, to place… eight dunks (out of ten converted shots) without any opposition!
« The idea is to be more involved, to be a threat on this side of the pitch, to make the defense have to watch me, to put pressure around the circle, that opens up spaces for the shooters. “, Detailed Jarred Vanderbilt, evoking an exchange on this subject with his trainer, Chris Finch. Instructions applied brilliantly.
