Karl-Anthony Towns, front court, Minnesota Timberwolves Disappointed in his own performance in missing long shots throughout all 8 attempts. Monday’s game lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-116 points, leaving them trailing 0-3 in the Western Championship Series. Because I myself have practiced well for more than 1,000 children.
Towns, who used to be the leading scorer Timberwolves throughout the previous 2 rounds, but the series against the ‘Mavs’ played the wrong form. Especially shooting from long distance, only 3 from a total of 22 attempts (13.6%). A different story from the semi-final series defeating the Denver Nuggets 4-3 games (39.4%) or the first round sweeping the series against the Phoenix Suns, accurate. 52.9%
The personal performance that Ploy caused the team to lose is what ‘Kat’ feels most hurtful to herself about.
“I just laughed dryly. Because he practiced shooting 1,500 times a day,” Towns revealed to Star-Tribune Sports.
“Shot well throughout the playoffs, full of confidence. But when I saw my own shot bouncing in a way that didn’t seem right, it slipped out of the loop, he was angry too. It was really hard to accept.”
“I still have confidence. Just keep your head down and shoot.”
“Every time I shoot I can tell you it feels good. But the ball always bounces unfavorably.”
“It was quite mental. For example, in the second match, the series showed that it was down to half the card and then splashed out. Or on Monday my first free throw went halfway in and then popped out.”
This is the second time in Towns’ playoff career that he hasn’t shot from long distance in an entire game. The first time was the series against the Nuggets, second round, West Coast, Game 6, a few weeks ago, missing all 4 times. It’s good that in that match, everyone else was in good form, helping to chase down the deficit by 45 points.
