The older superstars of the NBA

Target Center Arena.

Another game day.

This time the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Since the start of the season, the Cavaliers' record can be described as a triumphant progress.Under the leadership of LeBron James, the team made a perfect start, and it can be said that there are almost no opponents in the East.

Whether it is the Toronto Raptors with DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, or the Miami Heat with the two giants Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh after losing LeBron, they It is difficult to shake the Cavaliers.

LeBron's ability has brought them a great threat, not to mention the team has all-star players like Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, as well as excellent role players like Jr. Smith.

In terms of lineup, the Cavaliers look at the entire league is also great.

After getting the No. [-] and stable record in the Eastern Conference, the outside world's predictions for them are consistent with last season. Many celebrities and industry insiders believe that the Cavaliers have the best chance to reach the Finals in the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, this game is also a test of strength for the Timberwolves.

After all, their goal is to hit the finals. If they do make it to the finals, then they are very likely to encounter the Cavaliers in the end.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the players entered the court for shooting drills.

Originally, Dwight Howard didn't have to play.After the team intends to trade him, general manager Sam Mitchell has clearly informed him through his agent that he can continue to rest.

However, this time Howard is still here!

When he appeared on the sidelines, his teammates were quite surprised.

However, few people greeted him, and even the head coach Norman Thomas didn't seem to see it.

Howard didn't care about this, but went into the field and started to practice shooting.

When he got the basketball, he didn't shoot it alone, but threw the ball to Zhao Feiyang who was standing outside the three-point line from time to time.

Snapped.

Zhao Feiyang who received the basketball was also a little surprised. When he saw the smile on Howard's face, he didn't give any response.

Swish.

Zhao Feiyang made a three-pointer, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

It happened that the basketball fell into Howard's hands. This time, he threw the basketball into Zhao Feiyang's hands again.

Snapped.

Zhao Feiyang didn't refuse either, picked up the basketball and threw another three-pointer.

After throwing several balls in a row, Howard finally walked towards Zhao Feiyang.

He still had a smile on his face, but it was obviously a little more dignified. After seeing Zhao Feiyang, Howard also pulled Zhao Feiyang to the position under the basket to communicate with him.

"Zhao, I know that what I did before has disappointed you, but... man, this time I really repented, and I really hope to fight side by side with you..."

"So, can you help me talk to the front office? I don't want to leave here... I have nowhere to go..."

Howard looked sad.

Zhao Feiyang's expression didn't change much.

He had seen Howard's expression before, so he was already immune to Howard's reaction.

Moreover, for a playboy, it is not an easy thing to correct!

"Dwight! I can't help you!"

"In the past, I tried to communicate with you, hoping that we could join hands to chase the championship, but after many things, I gave up... You are a free soul. Since you want to live an unfettered life, then, I respect your choice......"

"Besides, you've said similar things before! I won't trust you easily..."

Zhao Feiyang's disappointment was beyond words.

It was rare for Howard to see Zhao Feiyang so determined, and he lost his mind for a while.

call out.

At this time, the whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the players all walked towards the player tunnel.Before the game officially starts, they have to go back to the locker room to make final preparations.

Zhao Feiyang didn't say anything, just looked at Howard, and quickly ran towards the player tunnel.

Howard, who was standing behind him, looked helpless, finally sighed deeply, and followed his teammates towards the locker room.

"Today's game is very important to us. The Cavaliers are the team most likely to win the Eastern Conference... Playing against them can test our strengths and weaknesses..."

"I need you all to go all out... Then arrange the starting lineup, Zhao to play the first position, you are responsible for limiting Kyrie, the third position is played by Andrew, I will give LeBron to you, do not expect to limit Hold him, but you must interfere with his judgment and breakthrough..."

"Leave the inside line to Gorgui and Adrian, you have to be careful about Kevin...he has a strong ability to control rebounds..."

Howard, who was sitting on the side, wanted to interrupt the head coach Norman, but considering his situation, Howard shut up in time.

This time, he chose to raise his hand to express his attitude.

The teammates all noticed his raised hand, and they all showed surprise.The head coach Norman naturally saw it too, but he didn't say anything, as if he didn't see it at all.

"All right!"

"Let's go! Let's get into the infield..."

The Timberwolves players walked out of the field one after another.

Howard sat there with a dejected expression on his face. Although the disappointment on his face could not be concealed at all, he got up and followed the end of the team after everyone left.

beep.

The sound of the timer sounded, and the players from both sides officially debuted.

Before the start of the game, players from both sides also communicated.

LeBron James and Zhao Feiyang were former teammates, and they were very happy to meet each other, standing together and constantly gossiping.

"Zhao, long time no see! I didn't expect the Timberwolves to rise like this with your help... Dude, it seems that I was wrong. You can become the leader of a team... ...."

"Hahaha! LeBron, don't say that, if I knew I would have joined the Cavaliers, maybe now we have won the championship..."

"If you want, then I'm definitely the most welcome! Man, frankly, if you can join us, then I don't think there is any team in the east that can threaten us... As for the west, I think Maybe the Warriors can't stop us..."

The two sides stood in position, and the referee went to the court to throw the ball.

call out.

Game start.

After the referee threw the basketball, Love and Adrian, who were in charge of fighting for the rebound, jumped up at the same time.Love took the lead to win the ball and slapped the ball into the hands of his own players.

The ball was given to Irving, and Irving dribbled the ball across the half.

As soon as he passed the midfield, Zhao Feiyang immediately posted up to mark him.

The two met each other, and Owen suddenly pulled away with two consecutive changes of direction. Zhao Feiyang did not expect it, and Owen seized the opportunity to break through to the left mid-range shot.

Swish.

A mid-range shot landed firmly in the basket.

The first meeting between the two sides ended with Irving's victory.
