Chapter 42: Defeat the Raptors

With the aftermath of the victory, the Cavaliers once again faced the Jazz's challenge at home Speed ​​Loan Stadium. The Utah Jazz was in a difficult position to fight against the Cavaliers at their own lair Energy Center Stadium. When they came to Cleveland, they seemed to be no longer in a strong position because of long-distance flights.

By the end of the third quarter, the score had reached a score difference of 65:87 and 20 points. Considering that there were two back-to-back away games in the next round, Jerry Sloan waved his hand five and five, and announced that he had given up the game. The Cavaliers were unwilling to do it too well, and the same five and five, the game entered the substitute garbage time.

LeBron scored 28 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, while Zhang Kong scored a double-double of 15 points and 17 rebounds, and the second rebound of the season was not 20. The Utah Jazz's best player was Boozer, who defected from Cleveland. He returned to his old place without any stage fright, scoring 26 points in three quarters, becoming the second highest score after James. The Jazz's sharp pick-and-roll once left Zhang Kong with his hands, but when Mike Brown replaced Ilgoskas and replaced Drew Gooden and Zhang Kong reached the center position, the situation began to change.

Ilgoskas is very good, but this excellence is not omnipotent. The knees plagued by injuries and the natural muscle type doom him to resist the opponent in the interior like a muscle like Parkinson and Guden. His defense relies more on experience and skills. If the opponent's physical fitness is very strong, or his mid-range shooting ability is excellent, he has no choice. His slow speed is destined to not keep up with the opponent.

On the contrary, a naturally defensive coolie player like Guden is easy to defend these people.

After the Jazz, the Cavaliers flew directly to the icy Minnesota Timberwolves that afternoon. Even though it was November, Cleveland began to get colder, compared with Minnesota, Zhang Kong still felt that the weather in Cleveland was simply March.

No wonder even the loyal Wolf King abandoned this place, and he really couldn't stand the bitter cold here. It is said that the summer here is still famous for being hot, and the extreme climate would probably have accidentally drunk a pot if it was not prepared in advance. Mike Brown repeatedly warned players to prepare enough warm clothes before going to Minnesota.

However, I don’t know if it’s because I realize that Minnesota is too cold. Since Garnett left Boston, he has only won one eight preseason games since the start of the season, or the Indiana Pacers with shortage of soldiers and wounded soldiers.

After the start of the regular season, the Timberwolves did not stop their own losing streak. The Nuggets, Knicks, Magic, Lakers, Kings, Wizards, and Hornets. Except for the three-pointer at home, they barely defeated the Kings with the "New Wolf King" Al Jefferson's three-pointer. Even when they challenged the only King they defeated away, they did not hesitate to add color to the Kings' record with a 20-point defeat.

The Timberwolves' record is both expected and unexpected. The Timberwolves who have lost Garnett will be defeated in the new season. This is something everyone knows. But even the most pessimistic critics did not expect the Timberwolves to be like this.

The Timberwolves, who was a difficult team last season, has become the number one bully this season.

In fact, the decay of the Timberwolves had already begun. However, after Garnett left, the team seemed to have been pulled away a backbone that could support them to stand, and suddenly turned into a pile of rotten stinky meat on the ground. What the Timberwolves should do most is to bury the stinky meat into the soil, hoping that it can be turned into nutrients and grow beautiful flowers.

To put it bluntly, that is... bravely show off your bad luck, the top scorer is calling you!

As for the competition with the Knights, there is nothing to say. The gentle nurse in the snow once again sent warm blessings to the Knights who were expeditioning to the north.

The final score was 112:81, and the 31-point victory pushed the Timberwolves into the direction of the abyss again.

After easily dealing with the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers returned to home to face the upcoming Toronto Raptors. After this game, Ilgoskas was injured because he had a small cold after returning from the Timberwolves. Although it was not serious enough to affect the game, for Ilgoskas' health, Mike Brown finally chose to let Ilgoskas rest.

After all, Ilgoskas is already thirty-three years old and has a major injury history.

Moreover, Mike Brown also felt that even if Ilgoskas didn't play, it would be a problem to solve the Raptors. The Cavaliers now rank second in the East, and their three consecutive victories have also brought them one step closer to the first in the East. So, Zhang Kong took the center position, Drew Guden served as power forward, and as for the inside substitute... I'm sorry, the Cavaliers now have no inside substitute, and Anderson Valejo's contract has been delayed, but fortunately, it seems that because the Cavaliers' record is too good, Anderson has shown some signs of letting go.

Mike Brown did not expect, LeBron and James did not expect, and Zhang Kong did not expect that the Cavaliers would not expect that this game against the Raptors would be so difficult.

Because Dragon King Bosh completely broke out, he performed like an unsolvable problem when he made a shot inside and outside. He scored 48 points in the whole game, and after hitting a long-distance jump shot in the first minute of the game, his hand never cooled down. But even so, the trouble that Bosh could cause was just to lead the Raptors a little ahead while the Cavaliers were in chaos at the beginning.

Because in terms of overall strength, the Raptors are not the opponent of the Cavaliers at all.

The final score was 105:117. LeBron did not start to explode until the third quarter. He scored 27 points in a single quarter and scored 38 points in the game to set the tone of victory. Zhang Kong also easily scored 25 points under Bagyani's soft defense, grabbing 26 rebounds and giving 5 assists.

After solving his foul problem under some strange tacit understanding, Zhang Kong became more and more skilled on the offensive end, scoring and passing the ball, and doing a lot of fun.

After defeating the Raptors, the Cavaliers must fly to the rural city of Orlando.

There, a monster was leading the little beasts who supported him, hiding in the jungle of Orlando, intending to drink blood quickly.

This game is also a highly concerned game across the United States.
