NBA guard invincible

Chapter 97
On the 9th.

All the players of the Cavaliers came to Minnesota by plane, and they will play against the Timberwolves at the Target Center.

This is also the first time the two teams have met each other this season.

You will find an interesting pattern, that is, in the first half of the season, most of the Cavaliers' opponents belonged to Eastern teams, and in the following period of time, Western teams will be mixed in.

In other words, in the second half of the season, the Cavaliers will also start a real contest with the Western Conference teams.

The season is going to be tough.

Many rookies will encounter rookie walls during this period of time due to back-to-back matches and changes in the strength of their opponents.

Those who can break the rookie wall will naturally have smooth sailing in their future achievements.

Those who can't break through will be reduced to ordinary players at least, or they will disappear from everyone, and it is possible to leave the NBA.

The key is to look at the mentality of the rookies themselves.

The Timberwolves are a very young team. They have never missed the playoffs before, but it seems that they seem to have a good chance of breaking into the playoffs in the Western Conference this year.

This is no joke.

Since Butler came, the Timberwolves have indeed become very passionate.

More critical is the growth of the two top picks Wiggins and Towns.

Brother Zui was incredible last season. He averaged 24 points per game. Watching his highlights from last season, you will understand why a large number of fans cheered every time Zui Ge scored a goal at the Timberwolves’ home court.

In October, Brother Zui signed a five-year $10 million super contract with the Timberwolves.

The renewed contract will start next year.

just.

After signing a big contract, this season, Brother Zui's performance feels like... no progress.

Yes.

It seems that last season was his peak period.

However, people just said that Wiggins didn't want to fight.

It is already winter in Minnesota, and there is heavy snow outside. Standing on the court, you can see the breath coming out of your mouth.

Jiang Wudi rubbed his hands to warm them up, otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he would still have a good hand feeling after playing.

"Welcome everyone to the regular season of the NBA. The two teams we will be playing against today are the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves!"

"First of all, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. The Cavaliers' starting lineup for the away game is: point guard Thomas Jr., shooting guard JR Smith, small forward James, power forward Crowder, and center Love!"

"For the Timberwolves at home, the point guard is Jones, the shooting guard Wiggins, the small forward Butler, the power forward Gibson, and the center Towns!"

"Start, the Timberwolves have the ball!"

Now, in Tyronn Lue's plan, Jiang Wudi is the vanguard of the Cavaliers' bench and the main attack point of the second team.

In terms of shooting power, in fact, he has not reduced much.

Therefore, Jiang Wudi didn't complain to Tai Lunlu either.

The main reason why they have been starting all the time before is that the Cavaliers don't have a good point guard. Although Calderon is pretty good, it's just... there must be someone to help Calderon share the pressure of ball control.

Otherwise, you want a veteran who is about to retire to play the whole game like Lao Zhan?
And the kind of non-stop dribbling?
Now is the real order of appearance.

The two teams didn't feel very good at the beginning. In the first 3 minutes, the score between the two sides was 2-4, and the Timberwolves had 4 points.

Later, the Timberwolves suddenly went crazy. Towns made all kinds of strong shots in the paint, and his little hook was completely invincible.

to be frank.

Downs' hook is not that top-notch, but it is rarely interfered or blocked.

From here, it's not hard to see how terrifying the top level [Skyhook] hook will be.

10-0.
Now, the score between the two sides is 2-14, and the Timberwolves lead the Cavaliers by a big score.

"Tayren Lue should call a timeout to adjust!" The commentary on the scene analyzed.

Sure enough, in the next round of the Cavaliers' offense, Tyronn Lue called a timeout.

"To be honest, the Cavaliers have really been playing in a mess recently. I don't understand what they are doing. There is no coordination on the court at all. Basically, they are defending each other!"

"None of Thomas Jr.'s three offensive choices were very good. In fact, he could pass to teammates in better positions, but he didn't. This should be a matter of tacit understanding!"

"Having been hammered by the Timberwolves in such a short period of time in the beginning, the Cavaliers should really think about the reasons for this. Maybe they can try to play inside!"

The cold weather really affects the feel.

All five of the Cavaliers' three-pointers were hit.

According to the analysis of the commentary, the main focus is on the mid-range and the basket, which is actually a pretty good choice.

However, Tyronn Lue didn't think so.

If he could hit the rim, he would have let the Cavaliers play him.

But the key point is that the Timberwolves' inside line is not very weak. Don't look at Towns, who is still in his rookie contract, but he is the No. [-] pick, and his defensive ability is not weak at all.

So, still play outside.

Shoot threes.

Now the game has just begun, so what are you afraid of.

cast.

Invest until the feel can be cultivated.

cast.

Shoot until you can hit the same percentage as you did during team training.

Yes.

Tyronn Lue is such self-confidence.

Ever since, after returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers still followed Tylen Lue's tactics and shot three-pointers.

Then, it hit the iron again.

The Timberwolves are chasing after the victory, there is a kind of rush to beat the dog in the water.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 4-22.

Can you imagine this?

The difference is almost 20 points.

Still the first quarter.

Could it be that after the first quarter, this game will turn into garbage time?

This is a plot that even online novels dare not write. The Cavaliers with James were beaten by the young Timberwolves. This made many basketball experts dumbfounded.

I don't even know what to say about the on-site commentary.

Because, if you continue to explain, there will be a feeling of over-flattering the Timberwolves.

It's hard to do.

Tyronn Lue, who had already shown an angry expression on the sidelines, immediately called a timeout. When the players left the field, he immediately fired: "Are you sleepwalking?"

"Or, are you paddling?"

"Tell me, are you planning to turn the game into garbage time after the first quarter?"

"Next, Thomas Jr., JR Smith, take a break off the court, Wade, Jiang Wudi, you go on the court!"

Jiang Wudi and Wade nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Then coach, are we still playing outside?" Jiang Wudi asked.

Tyronn Lue looked at the Timberwolves, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay!"

All can mean that you can fight as you want, the key is not to be blown up by the Timberwolves.

If you lose, you don't lose.
