If Minnesota won last night on the Lakers’ floor, it was also thanks to the reassuring presence of Rudy Gobert in the racket. An observation perfectly illustrated by the words of superstar Anthony Edwards, after the final whistle.
It was definitely a great evening for French basketball players in the NBA. While Victor Wembanyama unleashed a unique madness in history against the Sixers , Rudy Gobert went for a very important away victory, against the Lakers (127-117). Enough to allow his Timberwolves to remain at the top of the Western Conference with 54 victories for 24 defeats.
However, it was anything but obvious because the Purples and Golds have been in good form so far, with nine victories in the last ten meetings. But against the best defense in the country, it was not a success, especially when Anthony Davis only played 12 minutes of play before leaving with an eye injury. Enough to allow Gobert to quietly carry out his work in Californian painting:
Rudy Gobert ultra-precious according to Anthony Edwards
With Naz Reid compiling 31 points and 11 rebounds alongside him, we can say that the Minnesota racket celebrated on the Los Angeles side. Even Anthony Edwards didn’t have to push his talent, but the superstar fullback still had a few words for Gobzilla after the match. And we can say that they are worth their weight in gold:
As he walked down the hall, Anthony Edwards referenced the Lakers when talking about the last meeting. “We didn’t have Gobert last time. We got it this time,” he declared for all to see.
It’s difficult to be more complimentary for The Stifle Tower, who is heading straight for his fourth Defender of the Year title.
Rudy Gobert is doing better this year and as luck would have it, his Timberwolves find themselves occupying the throne of the Western Conference. We will now have to confirm all of this in the playoffs, but this is proof that the Frenchman’s impact is very significant.
