Chapter 282 The road to defending the title 5

Beat James while eating and sleeping.

As the game progressed to 8 minutes and 14 seconds in the second quarter, the Timberwolves made another substitution, with Yi Jianlian, Oden and Middleton coming on the scene.

The Cavaliers' side of the court turned into various singles games by James again.

Although it seems that the Cavaliers have not stopped scoring, the point difference is gradually widening.

However, the Timberwolves did not pay a price. Grant fouled James three times in just the second quarter.

But from the perspective of the overall game situation, this is basically harmless.

By the end of the second quarter, the Timberwolves already led the Cavaliers by 15 points, 67-52.

The game was halfway through, but at this time not many people still had doubts about the victory of this game. It can be said that both in terms of tactics and the overall strength of the team, this game exposed the differences between the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves.

The fact of the gap.

However, this game also inspired the head coaches of many teams in the league, especially the teams in the Eastern Conference, on how to deal with the Cavaliers and James in the following seasons. The contribution of this game is very large.

In the second half, the whole situation was like a replica of the first half.

It's even worse for the Cavaliers.

Because James' scoring efficiency dropped due to the huge consumption of physical energy, and after the Timberwolves noticed this phenomenon, they also began to launch a fatal blow.

Everyone looked at the Cavaliers' performance on the court and shook their heads. For some ordinary fans, this game might be just a defeat in the series. For many ambitious fans, there are still many opportunities.

But for many professionals, the Cavaliers will not only lose one game, they will probably lose the final championship trophy, because if the Cavaliers cannot solve the problems in this game in the next game, it will be very difficult.

Obviously the game will still be lost, even worse.

Because the Timberwolves' performance has been like this since the start of the playoffs this season. Once they discover your weakness, they will keep an eye on it.

The Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and Golden State Warriors, didn't these three teams all fall to the bite of the Timberwolves like this?

Blatter on the sidelines also knew this very well.

In the end, this highly anticipated first-round contest of the 2014-2015 NBA Finals ended with the referee's whistle.

The highest score in the game was James who scored 47 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but it was a pity that the game was lost.

115 to 96, the Timberwolves won this game by 19 points.

The Timberwolves' data truly reflects what a pack of wolves is.

Oden is the king of the Timberwolves. He scored a triple-double with 27 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 blocks. Middleton contributed 19 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Yi Jianlian contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Nate had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Shuhao Lin had 11 points and 13 assists, Dinwiddie had 10 points and 7 assists, and LaVine had 13 points.

Although Grant did not score in double figures and left the game with six fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter, no one could ignore Grant's persistent pursuit of James.

Seven Timberwolves players scored in double figures, which also attracted a lot of people's attention.

"The game is over. This game should be said that the two teams showed us all a different understanding of basketball. The Timberwolves used actions to tell you what team basketball is, while the Cavaliers showed what a star is. But

Basketball is a team sport, and obviously the results tell us that team basketball ultimately won the game."

"Actually, the Timberwolves also rely on the power of stars. As the core, Oden has led his teammates very well. I don't understand why the Cavaliers have to double-team Oden. Why can't the Timberwolves do this?

I will try my best to cut off your passing route and let Oden play in isolation." Zhang Lili said.

"It's very simple. If you let Oden play in isolation, the damage to your team will be too high. The physical strength that James needs to expend in attacking the inside is incomparable with the physical strength that Oden consumes by wreaking havoc in the inside. This is why a ball

The situation that the team has a strong center can bring about is different. If you think about O'Neal, if you let him play in singles, he can really beat him to death." Du Feng took over and said.

"And have you noticed that Oden's passing skills are getting better and better now. In today's game, he only had one assist less than Lin Shuhao. This kind of tactic of organizing the center is really unfathomable. I'm afraid if the Cavaliers

If we can't find an effective way to limit Oden, we will lose the next game."

"Yes, I agree with this."

"The opponent's play was too dirty, with many small moves, but I think today's law enforcement standards are too loose. Such small moves will make people lose their composure and make it impossible to face the game calmly," James, who attended the post-game press conference

I am also complaining about today’s law enforcement standards.

He felt that the referee did not call off many small moves of Bennett and Grant, who were responsible for guarding him.

It is worth mentioning that Antetokounmpo's playing time in this game was less than ten minutes, because as soon as Antetokounmpo came on the court, everyone in the Timberwolves would focus on this spot, and many players would even actively seek physical contact.

And Antetokounmpo scored 2 points and 2 rebounds in ten minutes of playing. These two points were caused by Bennett's foul.

"I am very satisfied with the performance of all the players in this game. I believe that the victory in this game has also greatly improved the confidence of all of us. This is the most important thing for us."

At the press conference after the game, Da Zhuang was full of praise for everyone's performance.

"The Minnesota Timberwolves won Game 1 of the Finals!"

"The organizational center, Hua Guochen's trump card of the Timberwolves!"

"What's the future for the Cleveland Cavaliers?"

"Blatter said he has found a way to break the situation."

After the game, the report of this game also appeared in all news reporting on the NBA.

According to the schedule, the second match between the two sides will be held on June 7.

The two days of rest time is very important for both sides. After the first game of the two sides, the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers also started a new round of preparations. As the game time approaches, the outside world is worried about the first game of both sides.

There are more and more discussions and speculations about the second round. Because of the victory in the first game, many people are now optimistic about the Timberwolves.
