Not only everyone commentating on this game was surprised, but even the Cavaliers were surprised.

In fact, this is the choice that represents the strong. Dinwiddie and LaVine will be the third choice with Jokic.

Soon after the brief entrance ceremony, the starting players from both sides stood on the court and waited for the game to begin.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

The Timberwolves still got the first offensive ball. After receiving Bennett's pass, Dinwiddie began to dribble the ball forward. Irving was responsible for following the interference rhythm, and the other players on the Cavaliers also quickly returned to defense.

After arriving in the frontcourt, LaVine on the weak side began to approach Dinwiddie, and Jokic also moved up to the high position.

You need to know why Da Zhuang chose Dinwiddie and LaVine because the tacit understanding between the two is better than that between Dinwiddie and Middleton, and both of them are combo guards, which means that this

The two of them can work together beautifully on the court, just like this offense.

Dinwiddie used Jokic's pick-and-roll to move to the left. As early as Jokic mentioned the high position, LaVine began to move towards the strong side, crossing with Dinwiddie at the top of the arc.

Pass.

But at this moment, LaVine did not move to the right but ran directly along the top of the arc towards the inside. It can be said that this sudden change of direction made Smith, who was responsible for guarding him, completely unexpected.

He lost his defensive position. LaVine, who had entered inside, suddenly ran diagonally towards the left corner. At this time, Dinwiddie had already passed the ball to Jokic, and then LaVine started running towards the bottom corner.

At the corner, Jokic's ball was delivered to Dinwiddie again.

When LaVine ran to the bottom corner, Dinwiddie's pass came into LaVine's hands.

As for Smith, who was guarding LaVine, he was out of position due to his slow reaction. In addition, he was blocked by Oden's position inside during the pursuit. Then by the time he chased after him, LaVine was already finished.

An open three-point shot.

The basketball crossed an arc and accurately fell into the basket.

3-0, the Timberwolves' first attack was completed by LaVine, who started the game.

Looking back, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. After James received Irving's pass, everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw the Timberwolves' defensive tactics.

The Timberwolves are still in the same familiar routine.

Looking at the way the Timberwolves players guarded the other four Cavaliers on the court, everyone knew that the Cavaliers once again faced a choice, and this time the Timberwolves were even more ruthless. Of course, in the eyes of many Cavaliers fans, they were even more shameless.

Bennett sent James directly to the free throw line. James, who made two free throws, was not happy.

His layup after breaking through Bennett was directly fouled by Bennett without hesitation.

When the Timberwolves attacked next, the Timberwolves kept picking and rolling again. Finally, when Irving was standing in front of Jokic, Jokic took action.

Another three-pointer.

Irving wanted to take the Cavaliers' offensive ball by himself this time, but as soon as he got ready for a breakthrough, LaVine dropped Smith and double-teamed Dinwiddie, eventually forcing Irving to pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, Bennett came over to defend, and LaVine came in front of James.

When Smith handed the ball to James, Bennett and LaVine changed the defensive objects again, finally forcing James to complete the attack, because after these passes, the 24 seconds of attack time had already been used.

Half of it fell off.

Bennett didn't foul this time, but James' forced shot from outside also hit the frame.

After getting the rebound, Jokic sent out a long throw, while LaVine ended the fast break with a big windmill dunk. Tens of thousands of fans in the audience stood up and cheered for this dunk.

8 to 2, the Cavaliers did not score in the opening rounds, and the only two points came from free throws. The Timberwolves' continuous defensive success and this dunk greatly boosted the team's morale.

Tyronn Lue, who was standing on the sidelines, was a little panicked at the moment, and he kept cursing Chen Dazhuang's shamelessness in his heart. Of the other 29 teams in the league, I'm afraid he has the most experience in beating the Cavaliers and Timberwolves, especially

It's the Cavaliers with James.

And the rest of the game seemed like the Timberwolves were telling other teams in the league to watch and see how I beat the Cavaliers and learn from it.

In a word, others can't score or control the ball. As soon as they find something wrong with the ball, they double-team. James can get the ball. You can play alone. You beat Bennett. I have Grant here.

Even if Da Zhuang thinks it's not enough, Labor and Management will use Sheamus to play the third position. Anyway, every time you attack, you have to consume a lot of money.

At this moment, many head coaches of all the teams watching this game saw the situation on the field, and they all had the same idea in their minds, that is, the Cavaliers were finished.

Just look at the anxious but helpless expression on Tyronn Lue's face on the sidelines.

In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple, that is, James plays without the ball. David Blatt has considered it before, and some media have also raised it, but if you ask Tyronn Luti to mention this, it is better to ask him to resign.

Many people didn't expect that the tricks they used last season would still be effective now.

And it looks pretty good.

In fact, James also knows the Timberwolves' intentions, and he also wants to make changes on the court. This is why James's statistics this season have more assists than in previous seasons.

On the court, James also began to try to pass the ball to let his teammates score, but it had no effect. Anyway, the Timberwolves only had one idea: it’s okay for you to score. Even if you score 100 points, we will be fine. We will definitely not be jealous, but your teammates, even if your teammates

I can't bear to get even one point.

You must know that the Timberwolves are not another team. They are a team that even the Warriors who can shoot from the outside are dizzy. As for the points that James tried his best to get in every round, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the Timberwolves' points.

As time goes by, the difference between the two sides gradually widens.

Five points, six points, eight points, ten points...

From single digits to double digits, when the referee blew the whistle to end the first quarter, the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 36 to 25, and the point difference had reached 11 points.

The atmosphere on the benches of the two teams on the sidelines was also completely different. The Timberwolves' side was relaxed and the players had smiles on their faces, while the Cavaliers' side was a little depressed, with James sitting there expressionless.
