On January 31st, a large number of Timberwolves fans slowly gathered in the square in front of the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota at almost noon.

There are also many reporters waiting here at the Target Center.

The reason why this game has attracted the attention of many reporters is because today's opponent of the Timberwolves in their last game in January is the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James.

In the previous match at Quicken Loans Arena, the Cavaliers had no choice but to accept a defeat.

And now the rematch has naturally attracted a lot of attention because of the entanglement between Chen Dazhuang, James and the Cavaliers.

Especially in an interview yesterday, James said very firmly that he would definitely defeat the Timberwolves on the road this time. However, the reason why James is so high-profile is because the Cavaliers have also achieved a very good record in the regular season recently.

After entering the January schedule, the Cavaliers first ushered in a six-game losing streak, but quickly adjusted, followed by a wave of nine-game winning streak, and the quality of these nine-game winning streak was still very high. Among them

There are also strong teams like the Clippers, Bulls, Trail Blazers and Thunder.

If they can win this game against the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers will also be able to gain their tenth consecutive victory.

So when being interviewed, James was also very high-profile and confident.

However, the Timberwolves' winning streak ended in the game that just ended.

After the game against the Thunder, the Timberwolves have played two more games so far.

On January 28, they faced the Celtics in an away game. Although Dazhuang rotated the lineup, with the support given by the system, the Timberwolves still defeated the Celtics 97-94 with no risk.

But after a day of rest, the Timberwolves, who were sitting at home, faced the Philadelphia 76ers, who had completely become weak this season. The Timberwolves lost.

But to be honest, this defeat was basically expected by Da Zhuang, because after the game with the 76ers, the Timberwolves faced the Cavaliers back-to-back at home, so they planned to give up the game with the 76ers.

Of the twenty-nine teams left in the league, there are two teams that he hopes to beat to death when he meets them, one is the Cavaliers and the other is the Dallas Mavericks.

Within forty minutes, the defensive ability increases by 50%, the speed increases by 20%, and the stealing ability increases by 20%. (Single buff for the small forward.)

Hidden attribute: Each successful defense will increase the three-point shooting percentage of the two players designated by the host by 3%.

Within thirty minutes, the passing ability increases by 30%, the three-point shooting rate increases by 20%, and the breakthrough success rate increases by 20%. (Solo buff for shooting guard.)

Hidden attribute: Each time a breakthrough is successfully completed, the host's designated player's assisting defense ability will increase by 5%.

Two red buffs with hidden attributes, Da Zhuang felt a little relaxed after seeing them.

The most important thing is that one of them is a feast specially prepared for James.

Soon, with five minutes left before the start of the game, the home team's starting five players' appearance ceremony began.

Amid the crazy shouts of the DJ at the scene, Shuhao Lin, Middleton, Bennett, Himes and Oden appeared one by one. Tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans in the stands of the Target Center followed the five people.

As soon as they appeared, everyone's name was shouted in unison, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax.

The game soon officially kicked off with the referee's whistle.

Oden stuck Mozgov firmly behind him in the paint, and then Lin Shuhao's ground pass also sent the ball to Oden's hands. As Oden began to exert his strength, the Cavaliers just used

The two Russian centers poached from the Nuggets in the first round and some trade exceptions are also somewhat unable to withstand the situation. Even though Mozgov has attracted the attention of the Cavaliers for his strength and frame protection, he is still no match for Oden.

In the end, the Timberwolves' attack had the same results as in many previous games.

Following Oden's dunk after turning around under the basket, tens of thousands of fans at the scene greeted Oden's chest-beating roar with cheers, even mixed with shouts of "MVP".

For Timberwolves fans, although they have seen this scene countless times, they never tire of it because they know that as long as they see such a scene, it means that their team's dominance in the interior is about to begin.

At this time, many Cavaliers fans in Cleveland hope that their core leader James can respond in the next Cavaliers offense.

James had the same idea during the game on the field, but he was a little overwhelmed. What made many Cavaliers fans watching the live broadcast a little confused was that their core leader James actually made a mistake.

No, it can't be called a turnover, it should be a steal.

Standing on the three-point line, James turned sideways to the basket and reached out towards Irving to ask for the ball. Bennett was blocked behind him. Irving saw that he threw the ball directly without hesitation, but this ball

His passing power was not very strong, and as soon as the basketball left Irving's hands, Irving saw something was wrong and quickly shouted to James to be careful.

It turned out that at the moment he passed the ball, Bennett, who was blocked by James, suddenly exerted his strength. Then, taking advantage of James' lack of preparation and his feet being a little unstable, he went directly to the side of James, and then tried his best to stretch his hand towards the fly.

Here comes the basketball.

James was shocked when he saw this, and quickly reached out his hand.

It's just that Bennett suddenly exerted force and lost the advantageous position of the ball, so Bennett hit the basketball first, and then the basketball also changed its flight path.

Middleton, who had been not far away, caught the ball before everyone else.

When Middleton looked up, Lin Shuhao was already speeding up the court, so Middleton made a long throw.

In the end, with Lin Shuhao, who was unguarded, licking the basket, the Timberwolves also completed the counterattack.

4-0, the atmosphere in the stands became lively again, but James' face was very ugly. He knew very well that although the responsibility for this mistake was attributed to Irving, he basically had to bear more than half of the responsibility.

It was his negligence towards Bennett that caused the opponent to suddenly go forward and lose the ball.

This time James actually came to the backcourt and signaled Love to pass the ball directly to him, organizing the small forward to come on!

When the team boss asked for the ball, Love naturally responded to his request, but no one noticed that Irving's face looked a little ugly.
Chapter completed!
