The situation of the game is completely different from Rivers's idea. He wants to suppress the rhythm and prevent the Timberwolves from playing fast attacks.

However, the Timberwolves found various opportunities to play fast attacks. Note that this was when the Timberwolves' defense was not mature.

From Rivers's perspective, we can naturally see that the Timberwolves' team defense is actually very immature, but even so, the Timberwolves still have so many counterattack opportunities. What is this?

Rivers thought about it repeatedly in his stomach, and finally figured out that the classic car he drove had not started to lubricate the oil yet! There were bumps and bumps everywhere, which gave these young people a chance.

But I drove such an old car! I had no choice but to completely lubricate the team in a short period of time.

At this time, he could only shout loudly on the sidelines, to make the team pay attention to the safety of passing, which was the only thing he could do.

The Celtics slowly stabilized behind them. They had this stable ability and this stable style.

But it was impossible to fill the big hole dug before. You should know that the points the Celtics wanted were almost three-pointers, but the Timberwolves were very hard on the outside, and today the Celtics didn't have any chance to shoot three-pointers.

In this way, when the midfield whistle ended, the Timberwolves led the Celtics by 7 points 56:49, which was two points more than the first quarter.

The situation is a bit weird, but the Timberwolves fans don't care about this, they cheered and encouraged the sidelines. The defending champion was stepped on by them today.

During the break, both the Timberwolves and the Celtics players returned to the locker room.

The old Celtics are out of breath and unwilling to accept it. They are the defending champions! They are all arrogant before the game. Now the game has begun, but they are repaired by a group of younger generations. This is too different from their psychological expectations.

In the script of the old Celtics, this opening game should be that they use cunning moves and slick tricks to trick the young people into joining each other, and then they can easily win the game to win the opening game.

But the reality is that their movements and greetings are smooth enough, but the Timberwolves did not cheat. Then they did not win the game, but were beaten to death by the opponent. In fact, there was only one reason. Before the opening game, the Celtics were not ready to fight to the death. However, the Timberwolves and the group were already sharpening their knives and ready to bite anyone.

At this time, when we arrived in the locker room, these old guys have also experienced the world. After a little bit of thinking, they have figured out the tricks!

Playing against the Timberwolves and playing against the team that owns Wang Kai, it is impossible for you to fight hard or win easily.

So in the Celtics' locker room, the old wolf king, truth, and killer grenades have already started to sharpen their knives and are ready to fight to the death. It's really not possible not to fight to the death! If the Timberwolves win the defending champion, the Celtics' face will really not be able to show off.

At the same time, the Timberwolves' locker room was full of joy, and everyone was so happy.

In today's first half, the Timberwolves were very happy, everyone played, whether they were rookies or veterans. McGee blocked two consecutive blocks, and dunked them. Love had dunks and face frame breakthroughs, and also shot two in the middle distance. Sebastian killed his enemy with his hands and felt very happy. Jefferson played Perkins in the middle shot. Wang Kai was even more comfortable. Apart from dunking two baskets, the rest would be OK as long as he passed the ball.

What did the Timberwolves want today? Everyone has shown their own characteristics. The only person who is unhappy is the only one who is left. Foye missed all four shots today, and there was no time to hit the ball, whether it was mid-range or long-range.

This kind of background of missing consecutive games is nothing if the Timberwolves had a bad game before, but now the whole team is playing well, only he is not sure of a three-pointer, and he misses the outside line repeatedly. What's this?

It felt like the whole team was the worst, so even though it took a while, Foye was so anxious that he was getting angry and hot.

The two teams have a huge difference. Three minutes before the second half, Kenny Smith said in the broadcast room: "I wonder if the Celtics lost today! Rivers would be so angry that they vomited blood. Will the Celtics, the veterans defending champions, play more than 10 consecutive victories in anger."

Barkley didn't answer Kenny Smith's question, but just laughed. In fact, he didn't know what the final result would be.

Three minutes later, the two teams returned to the stadium. This time, the Celtics' main players were all out, and the combination of the Big Three + Perkins and Rondo was already their strongest form.

The Celtics are solemnly different. The Timberwolves are still adjusting their lineup. Just now, Whitman discovered that the combination of McGee and Jefferson is quite good. One has outstanding talent and the other has extraordinary skills, so he simply let McGee play one in the second half, and then arranged for Gomez to continue playing as a small forward, Sebastian plays a point guard, and Wang Kai plays a shooting guard.

Although Gomez has no ability, it is better to do anything, and it can still be used to lubricate the gap between the inner and outer lines.

Sebastian will never be able to organize the team in his life, but today he is full of energy, defense and fast break are very sharp.

And Wang Kai! As the Timberwolves' outer main course, it is a must-have dish.

The first leg of the game was the Timberwolves' ball. The moment Wang Kai received Sebastian's pass from outside the three-point line, he felt a bad feeling.

This feeling is like meeting the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Final last year. These old guys all looked at you gloomy and could read it from that gaze. They would stop the other party from scoring at all costs.

Wang Kai is also a player who has experienced fierce battles. He understood at the sight of this scene. At this time, he could not let his teammates attack easily.

Because once they fail to attack, they will affect the emotions they have accumulated before. Now at this moment, they need to stand up. In the second half of the game, they cannot be like the first half of the game. They can win the game by passing the ball.

After Wang Kai corrected his mentality, he immediately bent down and controlled the ball slightly, and then looked at his opponent, Truth Pierce.

Pierce has a strong ability to fight against him, and it is not cost-effective to fight against him, and he is easily deceived into fouls.

Even if Wang Kai has the advantage of all his abilities in his body, he is unwilling to have a conflict with Pierce.

So Wang Kai used his crotch to dribble the ball under his crotch to first draw a half-step distance from Pierce, then shook his head and shoulders to do fake moves. Suddenly he leaned forward, and then returned immediately, and another head and shoulders shaking the dribble ball under his crotch.

Wang Kai's continuous shaking and pulling back and forth made the old Pierce feel a little bored. Just as he was softening his steps and hesitating whether to fight Wang Kai to the end.

Wang Kai suddenly broke through to the left. When Pierce wanted to stop Wang Kai, Wang Kai had already flew up.

In the air, Wang Kai raised his hands and glided and waited for Garnett's defense to arrive before he changed hands and made a low-handed layup.

Wang Kai successfully made a layup and scored two points for the Timberwolves at the beginning. Wang Kai's attack came in a simple and smooth manner.

After scoring, Wang Kai immediately shouted at his teammates: "Defense, defense! All defense is done well, the Celtics are going to fight to the death."

While shouting like this, Wang Kai retreated to his half-time commanding teammates blocked the middle.

The Celtics were ready to work hard in the second half, but Wang Kai still scored 2 points so lightly, and the Celtics were also crazy.

When the Timberwolves halftime was in the middle of the game, the Celtics and the group also took out all their abilities.

Although their tactics were the same as in the first half at this time, the details were different. Whether it was the quality of the pick-and-roll, the running route, or even the timing of passing the ball, the goal was more accurate.

The little bit of improvement in mentality brought huge changes to the team. Under the strict running position of the whole team, Lei Allen easily threw Wang Kai into the Celtics' strong men pile, allowing Wang Kai to fight in hand-to-hand combat.

He came out and got the ball with one shot.

"Bang!"

Ray Allen returned from the team's collaboration and scored points smoothly. The Celtics' move immediately made all the fans, players, and commentators feel the Celtics' murderous aura.

The Celtics used to play slowly, but now the Celtics are playing seriously. The two attitudes make the Celtics perform completely differently on the court.

Barkley also said at this time: "It seems that the old guys of the Celtics are starting to fight hard now! I just think these guys won't lose easily, hehe!"

Barkley is not afraid of big trouble when he is off the court. The more intense the two teams play, the happier he is.

McHale was nervous as he was the general manager of the Timberwolves. As the general manager of the Timberwolves, McHale was good friends with Celtics general manager Danny Angie when he was a player. He knew what kind of virtue he was like, and he also knew that Danny Angie's kind of method that would use all kinds of ways to win would definitely be transmitted to his team.

Now the Celtics are starting to take their own attention and are starting to do everything they can. He is worried that the team he just pieced together will not be able to withstand it.

McHale looked at the stadium with concern. Sure enough, it was the Timberwolves' turn to move towards the Celtics' half.

The Celtics shamelessly took out the chain defense they were best at, and they also took out all their strength when defending Wang Kai. Pierce delayed Wang Kai with his body in front, and Garnett behind him was ready to rush out to surround him at any time.

Under the strong defense of the Celtics, the Timberwolves had a smooth transmission before, and it could not be smooth at this time.

Jefferson was taken seriously by Garnett and had no good chance to take action. Jefferson is the kind of player with excellent skills but middle-level physical fitness. This type of player, the offensive ability of defenders with abnormal physical fitness, was immediately reduced by half when encountering a defender with abnormal physical fitness. Carlos Boozer, the same type as Jefferson, did not perform well in the playoffs, and this is the reason.

When Wang Kai saw that his teammates were too young and it was easy to deal with this situation, he hurriedly asked Sebastian for the ball.

Sebastian immediately gave the basketball to Wang Kai. Wang Kai picked up the ball and saw Pierce defending in front, adding content to follow Pierce at any time. In this way, even if he passed Pierce, he would not have the chance to attack.

Faced with this situation, if it were Wang Kai before, he would do it directly regardless of the scatteredness. But now Wang Kai's thinking has changed, and Wang Kai has considered his overall style of playing more.

So Wang Kai took the ball and immediately took a step forward to spy on the Celtics' defense. When Pierce moved backward and Garnett moved forward, Wang Kai immediately jumped back. He had already tested the Celtics' defense.

At this time, Jefferson quietly took a half step outside, and Wang Kai changed direction again and rushed into the Celtics' half.

This time, Wang Kai was fierce and simple, and the duo of Pierce and Garnett immediately surrounded Wang Kai.

Wang Kai jumped up and turned around and passed the ball to Jefferson. He jumped in front of Garnett, and there were absolutely no one in the league who could do it. Ordinary people were forced to death at once, and they couldn't jump out of Garnett's control.

But Wang Kai jumped too high, as if he was a fish that had taken off the fishing net, and he threw the basketball into the bottom line Jefferson's hands.

Jefferson took the ball without any fear of Rondo who had rotated over, and raised his hand to make the mid-range shot.

"Brush!"

The Timberwolves succeeded in attacking. Although the Timberwolves scored 2 points, it took 22 seconds, and the Celtics defended for 24 seconds with only 2 seconds left.

From this perspective, it can be seen that both sides of the second half of the game became intense.

However, at this time, Kenny Smith was obviously attracted by Wang Kai's pass just now. He said: "Wang Kai showed good passing ability during the Olympics. He also made assists in the preseason. The trend of his desire to develop towards the direction of the controller is already very obvious. The pass was also very good just now. Wang Kai who learned to pass the ball, I really couldn't imagine what kind of monster it would be."

Kenny Smith talked about the significant changes in Wang Kai this season. Charles Barkley next to him immediately said: "In fact, every guy with outstanding physical conditions has the conditions to become a great passer, it depends on whether they want to do this."

"When a player has extraordinary physical fitness, they can make passes that others cannot complete. These passes will break the fixed rules on the court. A physical fitness superman uses his own body to complete the attack. He challenges the rules of a position by himself. But his passing with his own physical fitness will allow the entire team to break through the rules. This is an essential improvement."

When Barkley said this, Rivers frowned when he saw the obviously impossible pass.

Wang Kai wants to play like this, he really scratched his head! Players who can score by themselves and strengthen the overall situation have not been born on this planet so far, but these people are all Hall of Fame, all the strongest. Could it be that he is watching a peerless strong man be born? Why is this feeling so unreal?

While Rivers was still suspicious, McHale saw Wang Kai's pass and immediately felt that the 48 million was worth it, it was really worth it. McHale was so happy that he almost jumped up.

The Celtics suddenly increased the intensity of their defense. The Timberwolves were not trapped, but instead faced the difficulties and scored 6 points in a row.

This suddenly made the Timberwolves' players feel brave. They can fight against strong teams, which can indeed add something to the hearts of these young players. Young players are blank. What they have experienced, what kind of players they will become in the future. Last season, the Timberwolves were a bad team, but this season's summer league, they almost never lost. Now they are playing against the defending champions in the opening game, which also adds a lot of pride and backbone to their hearts.

Supported by this pride, their defensive enthusiasm was also rushing like flames. The young people used their young bodies to desperately pounce on veterans and seniors, not retreating or being timid. They only had one idea, that is, to fight!

Faced with this kind of defense and five passionate young men, the Celtic veterans finally felt that they had nowhere to talk.

Fierce physical contact, stubborn faces, and flowing sweat turned the stadium into a arena. The fierce game also stimulated the fans. At this time, the target center was neatly shouted.

The shouts were rising and the emotions on the court were completely motivated, and 24 seconds were coming.

At this time, Rondo took the ball and suddenly forced a breakthrough, suppressing Sebastian. He suddenly turned around and made an Olajuwon-style one-handed fake move, and took the ball and shook it up. Under the fierce defense and nervous nerves, Sebastian flew away immediately. Rondo seized the opportunity and turned around and threw a high throw.

Seeing his hand flying high and about to fall into the basket, McGee flew out from the crowd, like a monster that emerged from the sky, blocking Rondo's ball with one palm.

McGee blocked again at this time, and the enthusiasm of the target center suddenly surged.

Maiji also beat his chest and roared wildly. In such a team, a rookie could play such a game. At this time, Maiji felt his eyes were hot and he almost had the urge to cry.
