The older superstars of the NBA

The final battle of the finals.

Target Center Arena.

The game between the two sides has already started. After the opening, the Cleveland Cavaliers went uncharacteristically and directly let Kyrie Irving and LeBron James dominate the situation on the court. The two no longer competed for the ball as before, but covered each other on the court. .

This style of play did have a certain effect. Within a few minutes of the game, the Cavaliers led the Minnesota Timberwolves with efficient scoring performance.

On the field.

At 7 minutes and 11 seconds into the game, it was the Timberwolves' turn to counterattack.

It is still Zach LaVine who advances with the ball.

After dribbling the ball across the half, LaVine looked for an offensive opportunity at the top of the arc.Irving stretched out his hand to interfere with his dribbling. LaVine took it easy and gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang, who was vacant on the wing, after clearing the distance.

After getting the ball, Zhao Feiyang chose to play singles. He suddenly launched an attack from the left side. Before approaching the penalty area under the basket, Zhao Feiyang made a shot one step ahead, avoiding the interference of Jr. Smith and scoring an emergency stop jumper.

Swish.

The ball is in.

The Cavaliers fought back.

This time LeBron stood outside the three-point line, seemingly predicting the Timberwolves' offense.Therefore, as soon as the Timberwolves scored, he waved to Kevin Love who was under the basket. Love understood it, stood under the basket and quickly sent the ball with a long pass.

Snapped.

LeBron got the ball and sprinted wildly. With the blessing of his strong physical fitness, at halftime he faced two Timberwolves players and forcibly dunked the ball into the basket.

boom.

The ball is in.

The Cavaliers are still in the lead.

After the first quarter of the game is over, the second quarter will come soon.

Unlike the first quarter, the second quarter no longer belongs to the Cavaliers, but begins to belong to the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves made a risky choice during the break. They replaced Andrew Wiggins and brought Kevin Martin to the court to increase the team's long-range shooting with a three-guard tactic.

Such a change of formation also surprised the Cavaliers somewhat.

The fans watching the game from the sidelines were even sweating for their players.

Soon, the second quarter will start.

As soon as the Cavaliers scored a counterattack, the Timberwolves sent the ball.This time it's not just Zhao Feiyang holding the ball, both LaVine and Martin have the chance to hold the ball.

Snapped.

The ball fell into the hands of LaVine, and LaVine quickly dribbled the ball.

After reaching the half court, he was stared by Irving for close defense. LaVine did not force it, and transferred the ball to Zhao Feiyang on the wing. In one second, the ball was suddenly distributed to Martin in the right corner.

Martin's choice was quite decisive. After receiving the basketball, he directly raised the basketball and made a three-point shot.

Swish.

The basketball falls firmly into the hoop.

Once again it was the Cavaliers' turn to counterattack.

On the Cavaliers side, Irving held the ball, and before halftime, LeBron tried to ask for the ball on the wing again.

For such a move, Irving frowned slightly and was a little unhappy. He deliberately slowed down and played against LaVine who was marking him. He pretended not to see LeBron's move, but in fact he seized the opportunity to raise the basketball and shot quickly after halftime.

LaVine flew over and reached out to interfere, but unfortunately he failed to block Irving's shot.

Of course, Irving also failed to score on a rushed shot.

boom.

The basketball bounced straight out.

The rebound was grabbed by Dwight Howard after his comeback. Because he didn't play much time in the first quarter, he kept helping the team guard the penalty area in the second quarter.

After taking the rebound, Howard threw a long pass directly.

It was Zhao Feiyang who received the ball. He quickly started to run towards the half court. When he got to the half court, Owen and Jr. Smith had already appeared beside him.

Zhao Feiyang pretended to make a shot to attract the attention of the two, but in reality he made a sudden pass by hitting the ground.

Snapped.

He threw the basketball into the hands of LaVine who rushed into the left corner.

LaVine, who took the basketball, did not hesitate and threw the ball very calmly at the three-point line.

Swish.

The ball is in.

A three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.

The Cavaliers are really powerless against this wave of outside output from the Timberwolves.

When he went to the half court to organize an offense next time, LeBron no longer asked Irving for the ball, but stood in the bottom corner and lingered.

Irving broke through to the basket and failed to score. Seeing this, LeBron rushed up decisively, took off the rebound and made a dunk.

After scoring, LeBron was very happy. He turned around and wanted to give Irving a high-five, but found that Irving turned his head and left without saying anything to him.

LeBron shook his head helplessly.

The Timberwolves attacked again.

This time Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball past the half court, facing Jr. Smith's marking at the half court, he chose to shoot a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Swish.

When he faced jr's hand and threw the shot into the basket firmly, the fans present couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Facts have proved that such tactics are effective.

Even if the Timberwolves' outside shooting percentage was not stable before, in today's stable situation, such a choice is undoubtedly quite threatening.

Soon, the first half of the game came to an end.

In the expectation of the Timberwolves fans, the Timberwolves finally caught up with the previous point difference through a risky move in the second quarter. Not only that, they also overtook the Cavaliers at the end of the half. There was joy.

57:53.

The Timberwolves lead the Cavaliers by 4 points.

During the intermission, players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.The program in the stadium was once again handed over to the girls of the cheerleading team, who performed hot dances for the audience to relax their tense nerves.

The major broadcast programs of the TV station also took the opportunity to insert advertisements. Both the media in the United States and China predicted the probability of the two teams winning the championship at the same time.

In the United States, the support rate of the two sides is basically the same. The Cavaliers accounted for 50.00% of the support rate, and the Timberwolves accounted for 40.00%.

The support rate in China is obviously different.

Almost 80.00% of the fans supported the Timberwolves to win the championship, while only 15.00% supported the Cavaliers to win the championship.

Such an overwhelming support rate does not mean that there are fewer people who like the Big Three, but that Zhao Feiyang's previous performance was too dazzling. Now many fans who like other stars are standing behind him, as a Huaxia fan. Support him and hope that he wins the championship to add glory to Huaxia basketball again.

"Zhao Feiyang must win! If he wins this time, he will immediately become a top player in the league...In the future, he will definitely be on an equal footing with people like Irving..."

"That's right! Huaxia players receive a lot of special treatment in the NBA. Now that he has reached that point, he must not retreat..."

"Zhao Feiyang can't lose! As long as you win, maybe LeBron will join the Timberwolves next season. We are waiting for him to make the same choice as Durant..."

"If LeBron joins the Timberwolves, next season's championship will be either the Warriors or the Timberwolves. There is absolutely no chance in the East..."
