Chapter 829 Match 2 60+
There is a clear gap in the strength of the two teams, so there is not much suspense about the result of the game.In the end, the Raptors played at home and won 5 consecutive victories.

On December 12, the Raptors played at home against the Eagles back to back.In this game, relying on Yingxiong's outstanding performance, they took advantage of their opponents and ushered in a 4-game winning streak.

After winning this game, the Raptors' record also came to 18 wins and 2 losses, continuing to rank first in the league's record rankings.

12月6日，猛龙队主场迎战老对手克利夫兰骑士队，凭借着应雄的62+10+5+5+5，他们主场力克对手，迎来了7连胜。

The 62 points in this game is Yingxiong's second high score of 2+ in the second game so far this season.In the outside world's opinion of him, 60 points no longer seems to be such an unattainable high score.

On December 12, the Raptors played against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.

In 2014, the Timberwolves traded the team's All-Star power forward Kevin Love in exchange for the two top picks of the Cavaliers, Andrew Wiggins and Bennett, and officially entered the reconstruction.They used the No. 2015 pick in the draft in June 6 to select the talented center Karl-Anthony Towns from the University of Kentucky, and got the cornerstone of the inside team.

At present, the Timberwolves have a young lineup and are full of talents. All they need is to wait for Towns and Wiggins to grow into All-Stars or even superstars, realize their talents, lead the team out of the quagmire, and compete for the championship.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Yonas Valanciunas, power forward - Patrick Patterson, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard - - Ying Xiong, point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the Timberwolves in the away game is: center-Karl-Anthony Towns, power forward-Gurguidion, small forward-Andrew Wiggins, shooting guard-Zak LaVine, point guard- Rich Rubio.

The commentators for this game are Mike Breen and Chris Webber.

"Chris, long time no see!" Mike Breen greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mike!" Chris Webber said.

"Chris, it seems that this will be a battle for points!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Why do you say that, Mike?" Weber asked with a smile.

"Minnesota is famous for 'offensive, not defensive'!" Mike Breen suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"Haha, Mike, you're so funny!" Chris Webber laughed.

There is no feud between the two teams, the goals of the season are different, and there is also a significant gap in strength. In addition, they are not in the same division, so the players are polite before the game starts, and there is no atmosphere of tension.

Valanciunas and Towns prepare for a jump ball near the center circle and the game is about to begin.

Towns beat Valanciunas with a jump ball, and Rubio dribbled slowly across half court.

Rubio's amazing performance in the BJ Olympics in 08 was hailed as the "golden boy".Later, he entered the NBA with a high pick, and was placed with unlimited hopes by the Timberwolves.But 8 years have passed, and he has gradually become ordinary in the NBA.In addition to his flamboyant passing, which can still occasionally make people's eyes shine, his poor mid-range and long-range shooting performance was even ridiculed as "Lu Yizhong".In today's league that is more and more advocating offense and paying more and more attention to 3-pointers, the living space of traditional point guards like him will become smaller and smaller.

Rubio's passing ability is quite good. On the first ball, he cut through the screen and skillfully passed the ball to Towns who was about to reach the basket. The latter took the ball and passed Valanciunas. One-handed dunk!
"Bang -- Minnesota scored first! Carl's offensive talent is really good!" Mike Breen praised.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over and gave it to Ying Xiong who came out to catch the ball.

Defensive Yingxiong is Timberwolves No. [-] small forward Andrew Wiggins.

Wiggins is 203cm tall, with superb physical fitness and comprehensive offensive skills.But in recent seasons, he has played more and more healthy. According to relevant statistics, his running distance in a game is even less than that of Towns who plays center...

Some media reporters jokingly claimed that Wiggins can play until he is 60 with this health-preserving style of play!
Generally, when a talented winger with top physical fitness first entered the league, he flew into the sky and escaped from the ground, with unlimited energy.In the later stage, the successful transformation is based on technical play.

But Wiggins' development trajectory does not seem to be like this... His performance and attitude really disappointed the teams and fans who had high hopes for him.But his coveted talent still makes the team refuse to give up on him.

Wiggins' defense is very loose, not on the body, and seems to be very active. In fact, whether it is the pressure on the ball or the blocking of the breakthrough route, the impact is very limited.

With the help of cover, Ying Xiong sped up and rushed inside.And Wiggins, who was defending him, was firmly blocked by Valanciunas.

"Andrew is too easy to be covered, right? When did Jonas's screen quality reach this level?" Mike Breen directly pointed out the major flaws in Wiggins' defensive end.

Ying Xiong cuts to the inside, facing Downs, makes a quick stop, then gets up quickly, flashes out of space, and hits the board with his right hand—hit!
"Minnesota's two core defenses! Alas—" Mike Breen shook his head with a look of indisputable grief.

"If you start from Andrew's point of view, the ball is picked and rolled by the opponent, and the responsibility is not on him!" Chris Webber laughed.

"Then what is this called? Is it cheating teammates?" Mike Brin was a little speechless.

But fortunately, the Timberwolves' offense is still online. Wiggins played Yingxiong with a back-up single, and turned around and shot back!
"Andrew's back attack with the ball is really better than Kevin Durant and LeBron James in the same age group! But he is too lazy!" Mike Breen is still not very satisfied.

"Every player's pursuit is different! Some people pursue big contracts, while others pursue championships." Chris Webber laughed.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to DeRozan.

Defending DeRozan is the dunk king Zach LaVine.

DeRozan used his offensive skills to shake LaVine and caused a foul!
"Zach's defensive experience and skills really need to be polished!" Mike Brin sighed.

"DeMar's foul-making ability is indeed a bit magical, and sometimes veterans will get tricked!" Chris Webber said.

DeRozan made two free throws, and the two sides tied 4:4 after the start of the game!
However, in the next two minutes or so, the Timberwolves missed consecutive shots due to unstable outside shots. The Raptors took the opportunity to hit a 6:0 spurt and took the lead.

"Minnesota starts with 5 players and doesn't have a stable 3-point shooter. This is a big flaw in this era!" Chris Webber said.
