supertähden uskomaton peli ei riittänyt! – ennakosuosikki tylysti ulos nba:n pudotuspeleistä

Phoenix Sunsin Kevin Durant

Phoenix Sunsin matka NBA:n pudotuspeleissä tyssäsi heti ensimmäiselle kierrokselle, kun Minnesota Timberwolves oli ottelusarjassa ylivoimaisesti parempi.

Phoenix Suns sai viime yönä Suomen aikaa tylyt lähtöpassit kesälomille, kun Minnesota Timberwolves selvitti tiensä toiselle kierrokselle puhtaalla 4-0 voitolla otteluparista.

Neljäs ja ratkaiseva ottelu pelattiin Sunsin kotiparketilla Phoenixissä, missä Timberwolves oli lopulta 122-116 parempi.

Sunsin supertähti Devin Booker hurjasteli ottelussa 49 pistettä ja Kevin Durant lisäsi 33 – muu joukkue ei kuitenkaan pystynyt supertähtien tavoin nousemaan vaaditulle tasolle.

Suns oli viimeisen neljänneksen lopussa vielä hyvin pelissä mukana, mutta vierasjoukkueen loppukiri oli tällä kertaa parempi.

– Heidän koko joukkueensa loi meille paljon ongelmia. Roolipelaajat, tähdet – Anthony Edwards on erityinen, erityinen lahjakkuus. Ja heidän isot pelaajansa pelasivat todella hyvin, Sunsin valmentaja Frank Vogel totesi.

Timberwolvesin voittoa johdattikin supertähti Edwards, joka kirjautti ottelussa 40 pistettä. Suns pyrki vaikeuttamaan Edwardin peliä muuttamalla miehen puolustusta kolmannella neljänneksellä. Tämä sai supertähden kuitenkin vain syttymään entisestään ja mies heittikin kaikista pisteistään 31 pelin toisella puoliskolla.

– Se oli kuin – sinun täytyy voittaa meidät. Ja minä näytin heille, Edward totesi.

Pudotuspelien toisella kierroksella Timberwolves saa vastaansa voittajan otteluparista Denver Nuggets – Los Angeles Lakers. Tuo ottelusarja ratkeaa mahdollisesti jo ensi yönä Suomen aikaa, kun Nuggetsilla on mahdollisuus katkaista sarja edukseen.

Mikäli upotus ei näy, näet sen täältä.
