\"AnthonyThe Wolves have finished their season with eight success in the last ten games. They finished 6th in the west to avoid the \u00ab\u00a0play-in\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> And thus challenge the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. Except that facing Luka Doncic<\/strong> et LeBron James<\/strong>the Minneapolis franchise is not considered favorite in this series.<\/p>\n

A situation that does not really seem to disturb the men of Chris Finch, who are used to being in this configuration, according to Rudy Gobert<\/strong><\/a>. \u00ab I think we are outsiders and that's normal. We have a lot of guys in the locker room that has been throughout their lives. It is a position that we embrace individually, but also collectively. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

“No one wants to see wolves win”<\/h3>\n

Anthony Edwards is well aware that his family are not given winners in this series by the majority of observers. “” I love it (not to be favorite) \u201d, <\/em>he has fun<\/a>. “It's cool. I love the fact that everyone wants to see Lakers win. No one wants to see the Timberwolves win, I understood it. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

The Wolves have serious arguments, which could tip the series in their favor, like an inner sector better supplied than that of the Lakers carried by Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid<\/strong> or Julius Randle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am very enthusiastic. This is the first time in my career that I have the opportunity to play for something important \u201d,<\/em> explains the strong winger<\/a>arrived in Minneapolis last summer.<\/p>\n

Go to the night from Saturday to Sunday, at 02:30 am, for Game 1 between Wolves and Lakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
