When it was the Heat's turn to attack, everyone found it hard to believe.

Because James was intercepted.

Facing Bennett's defense, James looked very relaxed on his face. After dribbling the ball, he suddenly turned around and then tried to speed up and pass Bennett. This was a scene that happened many times in the last game.

So this time James thinks there will be no problem.

But just when he finished turning around and was about to speed up, Bennett suddenly took a quick step forward and struck directly.

Quickly and accurately, Bennett's right hand suddenly hit the basketball.

Suddenly the basketball was out of James' control, and Bennett fell forward, hugged the ball in his arms, and handed the ball to Middleton who came to respond before James pounced.

.

Timberwolves counterattack.

After Middleton brought the ball to the frontcourt, he couldn't find a good opportunity to take action in the face of Wade's entanglement, and handed the ball to Oden inside. This time Lewis hesitated when Oden was in position to single out Bosh.

For a moment, just by this hesitation, Oden directly pushed away Bosh, and then ended the offense with a two-handed dunk.

4-0, the Timberwolves played very strongly after the opening game.

Spoelstra's brows furrowed again, but what made him even more stunned was yet to come.

The Heat's next offense still saw James single out Bennett. Although he completed the shot this time, Bennett's follow-up speed allowed him to catch up quickly after being passed by James in one step, and then when James took the shot

At that time, he successfully interfered with the other party.

In the end, James' mid-range shot also hit the frame, and Oden successfully grabbed the rebound.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. The Heat retreated very quickly. Seeing that they could not counterattack quickly, the basketball was handed over to Rubio, who then slowly dribbled the ball past half-court.

After arriving in the frontcourt, he handed the ball hand to hand with Middleton, who stepped forward to respond.

Obviously, this time the Timberwolves' offense was not left to Oden inside. When Middleton stepped forward to meet Rubio, Yi Jianlian and Bennett were both ready for the pick-and-roll. Yi Jianlian had even already

It is to move to the high post in advance. After this season's campaign, everyone in the Timberwolves has become very skilled in this pick-and-roll tactic.

Then, after a series of pick-and-rolls, Middleton directly shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately, the shot did not fall into the basket after spinning a few times on the basket.

But Oden under the basket was given enough surprise, and after getting stuck in position, he got this offensive rebound.

Moreover, Oden did not hesitate after landing, and directly sent the ball to Middleton's hands with a long swing. He was still in the same position. Facing Wade standing in front of him, Middleton did not hesitate at all.

He didn't even make any adjustments and completed the shot quickly.

This time the basketball did not disappoint all the Timberwolves, passing through the frame very accurately.

7-0, after the opening, the Timberwolves used a 7-0 spurt to tell everyone that this game was not as they expected. Spoelstra's face on the sidelines was very ugly, and the same was also ugly.

Pat Riley, who was sitting in the box at the moment, no one expected that the game would start in such a situation. Even those who were optimistic about the Timberwolves did not expect this.

But at this time, Spoelstra made a decision that he regretted very much after the game. Logically speaking, calling a timeout at this time allowed the players to calm down, and maybe it could cool down the Timberwolves' rising momentum.

But Spoelstra didn't do that.

The Heat's next attack still failed to score, and it was James who attacked with the ball. This time, he used Lewis's screen to get rid of Bennett's entanglement, but James, who accelerated into the inside, encountered Yi Jian.

Lien and Oden teamed up to strangle, and in the end Oden's blood cap directly taught James how to behave.

At this moment, the Heat's morale has dropped to its lowest point.

To make matters worse, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. Middleton once again hit a three-pointer from the outside like a flying knife directly inserted into the Heat's fatal spot.

10-0, this is the worst start for the Heat in this series between the two sides. The key is still at the American Airlines Center. The live shots are also very interesting. They keep focusing on Spoelstra and sitting on the sidelines.

From Pat Riley in the box, it could be clearly seen that Pat Riley's face had darkened.

At this time Spoelstra had to call a timeout, but the effect of this timeout may be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, after the timeout ended, although the Heat finally used the screen and broke through with a small floater, helping the Heat finally get the first two points of the game.

But looking back, using the dislocation created after the pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Three points are like flying knives, the knives are deadly and the knives are bloody!

This situation was a huge blow to the mentality of everyone on the Heat court. The Heat played in a very chaotic manner throughout the first quarter. No matter how Spoelstra called a timeout or adjusted, the entire Heat offense was like a piece of loose sand.

The same, non-stop singles, either James or Wade, everyone has lost their cool.

33 to 21, the Heat fell behind by 12 points in the entire first quarter, completely in a state of collapse.

In the second quarter of the game, both sides changed into rotational lineups.

But the result is still the same, even worse.

Spoelstra only lasted less than three minutes before he had to replace the main player. However, Da Zhuang did not let the main player play as usual, but chose to continue using the rotation lineup.

What stunned everyone was that the Timberwolves' rotation was fighting vigorously with the Heat's main lineup. The Heat's main lineup was unable to narrow the point difference against the opponent's substitute lineup.

This embarrassed the Heat. Spoelstra arranged for the main players to play in advance. When he saw that the Timberwolves continued to use a rotating lineup, he thought they could narrow the point difference.

It was not until 6 minutes and 13 seconds into the second quarter that Chen Dazhuang sent out all his main players.

The well-rested Timberwolves were full of momentum as soon as they came out, putting enough pressure on the Heat.

First, Oden gave a big shot to Wade who was trying to come up after the breakthrough. Then, looking back, Oden even grabbed two offensive rebounds on Bosh's head. Oden's strength in the paint also made the Timberwolves

The outside line can hit the outside line unscrupulously, and the Heat immediately showed a situation of defeat.
Chapter completed!
