Chapter 233 Meeting the Knight Again
On January 1, a lot of Timberwolves fans slowly gathered in the square in front of the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, almost at noon.

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

The reason why this game has become a game that many reporters pay attention to is because the opponent of the Timberwolves in the last game in January today is the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James.

The previous match was at the Quicken Loans Arena, and the Cavaliers had no choice but to accept a loss.

And now they are fighting again because of the entanglement between Chen Dazhuang, James and the Cavaliers, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Especially in an interview yesterday, James firmly stated that he will definitely beat the Timberwolves away this time, but 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 wave of six-game losing streak, but quickly adjusted, followed by a wave of nine-game winning streak, and the quality of the nine-game winning streak is still very high. There are also strong teams such as the Clippers, Bulls, Trail Blazers and Thunder.

If they can win this game against the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers will also be able to reap their own ten-game winning streak.

So in an interview, James was also very high-profile and confident.

But the Timberwolves did not end the winning streak in the game that just ended.

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

Facing the Celtics in an away game on January 1, although Da Zhuang rotated the lineup, with the blessings given by the system, the Timberwolves still defeated the Celtics 28 to 97 without any risk.

But after a day of rest, the Timberwolves at home faced the Philadelphia 76ers, who had completely become a belly this season, but the Timberwolves lost.

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

Of the remaining 29 teams 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.

10. Within 20.00 minutes, the defensive ability is increased by 20.00%, the speed is increased by [-]%, and the stealing ability is increased by [-]%. (Small forward single buff.)
Hidden attribute: Each successful defense will increase the three-point shooting rate of the two players designated by the host by [-]%.

Within 10 minutes, the passing ability increased by 30.00%, the three-point shooting rate increased by 20.00%, and the breakthrough success rate increased by 20.00%. (Shooting guard single buff.)
Hidden attribute: Every time a breakthrough is successfully completed, a player designated by the host will increase the defense ability of a player by 5.00%.

After seeing the two red buffs with hidden attributes, Da Zhuang felt a little relieved.

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

Soon, 5 minutes before the start of the game, the home team's starting five tigers' appearance ceremony began.

Amid the crazy shouts of DJs, Lin Shuhao, Middleton, Bennett, Sims and Oden appeared one after another, and tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans in the stands of the Target Center followed the five people together As soon as they appeared, they shouted everyone's name in unison, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak directly.

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

Oden stuck Mozgov firmly behind him in the interior, and then Lin Shuhao's ground pass also sent the ball to Oden's hands. As Oden began to exert strength, the Cavaliers just used it this month. The two Russian centers dug from the Nuggets in the first round and some trade exceptions are also a bit overwhelming. Even Mozgov has attracted the attention of the Cavaliers for his strength and frame protection, but he is still not Oden's opponent.

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

Accompanied by Oden's dunk after turning around at the basket, the 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 such a scene countless times, they never get tired 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 far away in Cleveland hope that their core leader James can play his own response in the next Cavaliers' offense.

And James also had the same idea in the game on the field, but it made him a little overwhelmed. What made many Cavaliers fans watching the live broadcast a little confused was that their core leader James made a mistake.

No, it cannot be called a turnover, it should be a steal.

Standing on the three-point line, James turned sideways to the basket and reached out to Irving for the ball, while Bennett was blocked by him. Irving threw the ball over without hesitation when he saw it, but this ball Irving's passing power is not great, and when the basketball just left Irving's hands, Irving saw that something was wrong, and quickly yelled for James to be careful.

It turned out that at the moment he was passing the ball, Bennett, who was blocked by James, suddenly exerted strength, and then took advantage of James' unpreparedness and unsteadiness on his feet, and went directly to the side of James, and then stretched his hand towards the fly as much as possible. Here comes the basketball.

James was also shocked when he saw this, and quickly reached out his hand at the same time.

It's just that the ball lost its favorable position due to Bennett's sudden force, so the basketball was touched by Bennett first, and then the basketball also changed its flight path.

Middleton, who has been not far away, grabs the ball ahead of everyone.

When Middleton looked up, Lin Shuhao was already speeding up and running forward, so Middleton made a long throw.

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

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

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

This time James actually came to the backcourt and signaled Love to send the ball directly to himself, and organized the small forward to appear on the field!
The boss of the team asked for the ball, and Love naturally responded to his request, but everyone didn't notice that Irving's face was a bit ugly.
