Although this game is against a weak team, the attendance rate at home has reached a very considerable more than ninety percent, and the main reason for this is naturally the encounter between Tang Shuai and Downs.

Since scoring his first 30+ rookie game against the Rockets, and then scoring 20 points, he has improved his scoring average to a rookie-high 17 per game. After 8 points, he is officially in the rookie of the year contender.

At this time, he was on the opposite side, and his performance was also stable, averaging 16 points per game. The 5-board champion Lang Downs is by far his biggest contender.

During the warm-up, Brewer went to the Timberwolves to join in the fun, just like when he played the Rockets, and before he was traded to the Rockets last season, he played for the Timberwolves for 2 seasons, and he still met a lot of teammates, such as Martin and Rubio, and there were some jokes and jokes at this time.

If you want to say that there is also an advantage to being a homeless person, that is, there are more former teammates, as long as the personality is slightly better, then the popularity in the NBA will not be too bad.

As the countdown entered the final three minutes, the players on both sides stopped warming up and the coach began the final tactical arrangements before the game.

The Timberwolves maintained their starting lineup, with "Golden Boy" Rubio and champion Lang Wiggins on the outside, "Old Prince" Prince and Garnett returning to the Timberwolves on the front, and Lang Towns on the inside.

With Downs and Jordan Jr. leaping up, the game between the two sides officially began.

The Timberwolves' lineup is a combination of old and young, and the configuration is still quite good, but after really starting to play with the Clippers, the problem was exposed at once.

Defensively. Garnett and Prince, two old fritters, rely on experience, plus Downs and Wiggins are tall and long-armed. It's not too bad, but the offense is just too bad. Garnett and Prince are really too old, and the offensive pressure is all on Wiggins and Towns.

Cassel also knows this, so he can wrap it up at every turn, Wiggins and Downs are still in the growth period after all, and they have a certain amount of instant combat power, but they have not yet reached the point of taking what they want, and the result can be imagined.

In the face of the Timberwolves' constipation-style offense, the Clippers quickly took the initiative on the court.

"Bang!"

As Paul made a second pass to Stephenson who cut into the air, Stephenson scored a one-handed slam. The Clippers are already leading by double digits at 16-6.

"We want Tang Shuai!"

As the score difference continued to widen, I don't know when it started, in a certain area of the audience, some viewers actually began to shout the slogan for Tang Shuai to play.

Kassel turned his head to look, but quickly turned his head and sat calmly in the coach's seat, without making any moves.

Tang Shuai also heard the shouting and looked back at the shouting audience.

The group was dressed in hip-hop style, and it looked like they were students from some school.

He smiled and beckoned to them. The people cheered at once.

"Don, there are more and more fans supporting you now!" When he turned around, Smith said with a smile, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Maybe I'm handsome. You see the word my name, it means handsome. Tang Shuai said jokingly.

"You kid! Fuck you, it's shameless! Smith was amused by Tang Shuai. I couldn't help but punch him.

Tang Shuai also laughed.

At this time, the Timberwolves have replaced Garnett and replaced the young Senegalese interior Gorgui Dieng. It can be seen that the interim head coach of the Timberwolves, Sam Mitchell, put Garnett in the starting lineup as a deterrent, a pseudo-starter.

After Gion came up. The Timberwolves have two two-meter-one-one big men on the inside, and the offensive end of the frontcourt rebounds is obviously a lot fiercer, relying on this kind of hard work, in the next period of time, it is also a Clippers team to play a match.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides began their regular rotation.

On the Clippers' side, all the players except Jordan Jr. were substituted, and Don Shuai, Booker, Pierce and Smith all came off the bench.

The Timberwolves rotated much earlier than the Clippers, and the lineup on the court at this time is Slam LaVine and former Rockets scoring champion Kevin Martin on the outside, Shabazz Muhammad, the former No. 1 high school student in the United States, and Giang and Adrian Payne on the inside.

After Tang Shuai came on the court, he was opposite the dunk king LaVine.

LaVine is the strongest dunk king in the NBA, his dunking ability and bounce are explosive, which is best evidenced by the exclusive dunk bag that Tang Shuai scanned from him.

But this may also be the player Tang Shuai is least afraid of with an exclusive bag, dunk is a very ornamental way to score, just like he and the Warriors, or later against the Rockets when he dunked, it is quite morale-boosting, and even a dunk at a critical moment can crush the opponent's momentum, but in essence, except for Carter, no one can rely on this way to become a top superstar.

Therefore, Tang Shuai didn't have much to worry about LaVine, not to mention that he had nothing to worry about when he found out that LaVine's passing bag was just green like him.

In the offensive round of the Timberwolves, after LaVine went to the frontcourt to ask for a block, he was directly ready to burst, seeing that his eyes kept looking at the basket, it seemed that he wanted to dunk directly.

After Tang Shuai saw this, he continued to fight with him physically, and in this confrontation, LaVine's breakthrough became staggering, not to mention dunking, it was a problem to dribble to the basket and get to the basket.

Tang Shuai has a purple power pack, and it is the kind with high attributes, and the blue power pack of Raven is not enough to see in front of him.

When LaVine arrived at the basket, where was there still space and angle to dunk, and he didn't have a chance to see the premise position after going around, so he had to lean on Tang Shuai to throw.

Tang Shuai had been waiting there for a long time, although he didn't have a high-level cover bag, but the purple power bag pressed Laven, and then he relied on his own blue dunk bag, jumped up directly, and slapped LaVine's shot in the face.

Because he was pressed by Tang Shuai when he shot, LaVine's shot point was very low, and the result can be imagined.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's whole person was like a goshawk pounced on a rabbit, and with a slap, he directly fanned Laven's shot out of the field and flew directly into the audience.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Tang Shuai didn't think anything, but the audience was stupid.

Tang Shuai actually covered Laven stiffly!

LaVine is the king of dunks! And the last slam dunk contest was a crushing victory! Tang Shuai actually blocked his shot like this, and it looked so easy, as if he hadn't used all his strength.

Tang Shuai only turned around and symbolically high-fived Smith after the block, others only saw him cover LaVine, but few people noticed the crushing of his strength, this feeling is good, after all, if someone knew that his body contained a power comparable to the inside line, what kind of reaction would it be.
