The older superstars of the NBA

In the astonishment of countless fans, Adrian Ennis stepped up to mark LeBron James as they expected.

This arrangement of the Minnesota Timberwolves also confuses many people.

In their view, Andrew Wiggins can't defend LeBron, can Adrian do it?

The two met each other, LeBron began to pick up the basketball to test, and Adristared at LeBron with security and concentration, constantly adjusting his body posture in front of him.

Suddenly, LeBron took the ball and accelerated towards the basket. Adrian was not shaken by him, but stuck to him all the time.

The two reached the basket one after the other. LeBron used his body to push away Adrian and raised the basketball to shoot. Adrian failed to block LeBron, but his outstretched arm still interfered with LeBron's sight.

boom.

The basketball bounced off the rim, and LeBron's shot was just a fraction of the way to go.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Many fans didn't expect Adrian to defend LeBron's goal.

Of course, there are still many fans who think this is just LeBron's own problem.

"Adrian's defense is useless. LeBron's own shot has deviated..."

"That's right. Even Wiggins can't restrain LeBron, let alone a player like Adrian... He still has some gaps compared with Wiggins. The talents of the two are visible to the naked eye. out of the difference..."

"Just an ordinary offensive error! Then LeBron will continue to score..."

On the field, after the rebound fell out, Gorgui Dieng tried to jump up to pick it up, but before he could gain a firm foothold, Kevin Love jumped up first.

Snapped.

Love directly used his upper body strength to grab the rebound, and when he got the ball, he made a tip-up shot under the basket.

Swish.

The ball is in.

Without Dwight Howard, the Timberwolves' interior is indeed much weaker than before.Fortunately, after so many games in the playoffs, the other players of the Timberwolves have a tacit understanding. Even if Howard is not there, they can still maintain their best condition to play.

This is a qualitative improvement compared to the previous Timberwolves.

Timberwolves serve.

This time, LaVine advanced quickly with the ball and entered the two divisions under the cover of Wiggins after halftime.

The Cavaliers responded quickly, and Love stepped up to defend immediately, blocking LaVine's layup route.

LaVine forcibly threw the ball, and the basketball bounced off the rim.

Seeing that the ball was about to fall into the hands of the Cavaliers again, Love jumped up immediately, but Adrian behind him refused to give up. The moment before Love got the basketball, Adrian slapped He seized the ball, and then took advantage of the opportunity to make a dunk and smash the ball in.

boom.

Adrian's performance boosted the morale of the Timberwolves.

The game continued.

In the rest of the first quarter, as the team's shooting guard, Zhao Feiyang didn't take too many shots. He was always trying his best to save energy, and even in the second half of the first quarter, he simply switched to the No. [-] position. Let LaVine go to the second position to lead the breakthrough offense.

In addition, because of Adrian's good performance at the beginning, Zhao Feiyang also continued to hand over the ball to the wing position.

After being silent for so many games, Adrian finally played the best game of his career.

Even facing the league's No.1 LeBron, his shooting percentage has not been affected.

Not only that, in LeBron's defense, Adrian also shot two three-pointers from outside the three-point line. He also stole LeBron once, which was barely achieved.

His talent is indeed not as good as Wiggins, but he is worse than Wiggins in that he refuses to give up. This spirit is perfectly reflected in defense.

Adrian never slackens when marking LeBron. Even if he has been shaken, he will still make up the defense as soon as possible. Unless LeBron sends the ball into the basket, he will definitely not stand still and watch.

From this point of view, he is much better than Wiggins who will stand on the sidelines from time to time.

Wiggins has changed a lot of "healthy play" against LeBron, but he still can't show the attitude of doing his best for a while.

Soon, the first quarter is over.

The two sides scored 27 to 31, with the Timberwolves trailing by 4 points.

The point difference is not big, and the situation is not as bad as they imagined.However, the outside world's pessimism about the Timberwolves continues.

"The Timberwolves performed pretty well today, at least in the first quarter. They cleverly used Adrian to replace Wiggins to mark LeBron... From the perspective of defensive focus, Adrian's performance Definitely better than Wiggins..."

"That's right. This is also the main reason why they were not stretched too much in the first quarter! However, Adrian's restrictions on LeBron are very limited. Now Zhao seizes every opportunity to save energy, and LeBron has also seen that This problem, so in the second half of the first quarter, he reduced the number of isolations and let Irving lead the team's offense..."

The host in charge of broadcasting on the spot discussed the situation of the game with the guest commentators.

On the webcast, countless fans also discussed the first quarter of the two sides.

The discussions among the fans were obviously more emotional, especially the local fans in Cleveland. They didn't care so much about the real situation of the game, and only hoped that their team could win the championship smoothly.

"See? The Timberwolves can't beat us, so tonight is our winning night... It won't be long before we see the Cavaliers win their first NBA championship on TV. Champions, this will be our highlight..."

"The Timberwolves are still almost mean! Even if they can limit Love and Irving, they can't stop LeBron...LeBron is not using his full strength now, and Adrian's defense is a complete joke... ..."

"After Dwight missed the game due to injury, the Timberwolves have entered the countdown... I am waiting for the team to win the championship tonight, and LeBron won the finals mvp..."

At the same time, Huaxia fans also have different opinions on the performance of the two teams.

CCTV Sports specially launched a vote, which is very different from the previous support rate, this time the two sides are almost one-sided.

The approval rating of the Minnesota Timberwolves dropped directly to 20.00%70.00, while that of the Cleveland Cavaliers skyrocketed to [-]%[-].

Many fans believe that the Cavaliers' championship is a foregone conclusion!Even those die-hard fans who supported Zhao Feiyang have been shaken!
