The Timberwolves and Wizards game was in the second game of the opening game, when the climax of the Cavaliers vs. Celtics had just passed, and the fans who couldn't get enough of it were waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the defending champion to appear.

As the opening game of the defending champions, the Timberwolves will raise the championship flag at this moment, and last season's players will receive championship rings from the league.

It's a great honor.

When Zheng Ke and others wore the championship ring, they enjoyed the cheers of the fans like a tsunami. Zheng Ke clearly saw that in Iverson's lonely eyes, there was a deep envy at the moment.

This is an athlete's deepest desire for honor, and even Thorton, who has just entered the league, has the same nature.

Wizards starters: Arenas, Stevenson, Butler, Jamison, Haywood.

Timberwolves starters: Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love, Anderson.

Although Whitman is interested in using Anderson as a substitute, judging from the current level of team running-in, it is clear that last season's championship-winning starting lineup is more suitable for the opening game.

Iverson as a substitute made many "Ai fans" a little injured today, and many fans holding Iverson's huge head rushed to the scene to cheer for Iverson, even in Minnesota, where Zheng Ke covered the sky with one hand, there were still many players wearing the Timberwolves' No. 3 jersey, which was very surprising.

After a season off, he was finally able to spread his hands and feet again and run on the basketball court to his heart's content, which made Zheng Ke's body tremble. He felt every cell in his body calling to him.

"I can't wait to play." During the interview on the field, Zheng Ke said.

TNT sent in a lineup of old friends to explain the Timberwolves' opener, with Barkley plus Smith.

Barkley commented on the Timberwolves' new roster: "This roster is very young. Although they also have veterans such as Iverson, Billups, and Brandon-Miller, they still wear the hat of the Young Guard. ”

The two talked about the team's power rankings before the start of the season.

"As the defending champions, the Timberwolves are only in third place, and it seems that experts do not agree with the Timberwolves' offseason operation." Smith said. "Yes, both the Lakers and the Magic are ahead of the Timberwolves." Barkley was a little indignant about this: "You know. Both teams were overturned by the Timberwolves last season. "It can't be helped, after all, both teams have been strengthened in the offseason. The Lakers signed Artest, while the Magic traded for Vince Carter. Both teams have strengthened their positions on the wings and have been very targeted. Smith flipped through the materials in his hand and said quickly.

The referee motioned for the starters of both sides to take their positions and begin to prepare for kick-off.

With a whistle blowing. Haywood and Anderson jumped at the same time. The two stretched out their terrifying arms and struggled towards the basketball in the sky.

Anderson took a narrow lead, and Love got the flying basketball.

Love passed the ball from his crotch to Billups behind him, who turned around and struck the ball out of his crotch again, and Lefu flicked the ball to give Billups back control. "Tactic No. 3!" Billups held out three fingers. Begin to direct the movement of the players on the field. "Tactic No. 3 seems to be a singles tactic for Boss K, well. It seems to be a low-post single. Tylawson asked Lori, a little uncertain. That's right. Lowry nodded in response.

As the team's backup point guard, Ty Lawson also needs to memorize all of the Timberwolves' tactical codes, and although he has been practicing together for a month, Lawson is still a little forgetful, and he takes the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and review various tactics.

Zheng Ke got the basketball in the low post, and Butler was behind Zheng Ke.

Back-to-back singles has now become one of Zheng's signature technical moves, with Butler's arm bent against Zheng's waist, and the warmth of Zheng's body is transmitted from the arm, like a volcano with huge energy. "Bang!"

With a toothache on his back, Butler snorted and his body was forced to take a step back. Zheng Ke was unforgiving, holding the ball and turning, leaning back with a straight arm, and hitting a jumper! "Si~"

Ty Lawson gasped and felt a tingling in his body. "This is the real strength of Boss Ke, and you didn't use this trick when you were heads-up, otherwise you really think you can score two goals?" Lori said teasingly to Lawson, seeing Lawson's surprised appearance, he suddenly felt a burst of happiness in his heart, and had a feeling of seniority.

Butler rubbed his aching chest, feeling that Zheng Ke seemed to have a bit more impact.

The Wizards attacked, and Billups defended Arenas from the outside.

The '09-10 season was the last season Arenas could have in style, the last six years of his career with the highest average points per game and assists per game, 22.6 points and 7.2 assists were enough to make him a reason for Wizards fans to believe in their revival, but unfortunately, his attendance rate was still not high, not even 50 percent.

And now, after a season and a summer of recuperation, Arenas's physical function has been adjusted to the best condition.

Facing Billups' defense, Arenas called for Haywood to come and do the pick-and-roll. He snapped the basketball a few times, bypassed Billups' defense, walked to the free throw line, and went straight to the jumper.

"Huh!"

2 to 2.

Anderson's defense was a little slower, and after Billups picked up the basketball, he exchanged with Anderson, and the two hadn't really played a game for months, and the tacit understanding was a little different.

Timberwolves offense.

Several people made a few guides on the outside, and finally at the 45-degree position, Zheng Ke and Lefu carried out a blocking and dismantling cooperation, under the natural barrier, Zheng Ke passed Butler's defense, he dribbled with his right hand and changed direction in two consecutive directions, and then lightning a step, breaking through from the bottom line, Jamison couldn't catch up, watching Zheng Ke rush into the inside.

Zheng Ke's speed and strength guaranteed his impact, and before Heywood could react, Zheng Ke had already leapt into the air.

"Bang!"

Waving his strong arms, Zheng Ke smashed the basket into a violent deformation.

The basket bowed its head downward, as if it were paying homage to the old minister. Thorton exclaimed, his height is 1.93 meters, and he can also buckle the tomahawk split, but he lacks strength, and it is difficult to buckle such a domineering as Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke scored 4 points in a row at the beginning, which made the audience cheer.

When retreating, Zheng Ke and Lefu high-fived and celebrated, "Good block." ”

"Hey, hey." Lefu smiled and pursed his lips silently.

In the opening game, the Wizards' offense was slightly sharp, and several shooters, including Arenas, were slightly accurate, and after half a quarter, the two teams were tied at 15.

"Aaron, go and replace Aaron." Whitman looked at the bench and finally settled on Iverson.

"Hmm." Iverson stood up, twisted his body, and took off his training clothes, revealing a skinny No. 3 back.

Barkley's eyes lit up in the stands: "Wow, is Allen going to play?" It was his Timberwolves debut, and oh, he replaced Aaron Afflalo, which is the rhythm of playing as a shooting guard. ”

Seeing Iverson's appearance, the fans immediately became commotion, and almost the entire audience stood up, cheering loudly, shouting Iverson's name, and applauding Iverson vigorously.

The sound was so loud that Iverson, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was so moved that he gestured to the fans in the stands and waved to the fans around him.

"It's even more popular than me!" Lefu looked jealous and high-fived Iverson, who was on the court.

The Timberwolves' offensive opportunity, Zheng Ke distributed the ball to Iverson very well, and defending Iverson was Deshane Stevenson, 28 years old and 1.95 meters tall.

Just when everyone was speculating about how Iverson would get past Stevenson, Iverson activated!

Despite being plagued by injuries and over 34 years old, he is still as light as an elf, dribbling with his left hand, changing hands in front of him to break through, and instantly pass Stevenson's defense.

Before Haywood's follow-up arrived, Iverson hit a straight shot.

"Beautiful!"

Zheng Ke and Iverson high-fived in celebration, which is a breakthrough move that he really wants to learn, although he can do it, it is difficult to achieve the level of Iverson's unity of man and ball, let alone those particularly lame feints in front of Iverson.

Iverson's arrival has given the Timberwolves an edge to their offensive firepower, and more often than Loops has been a spot shooter at the top of the arc and two 45-degree positions, and the ball control has simply been handed over to Iverson.

Iverson over-pocketed Zheng Ke in the bottom corner.

Zheng Ke tentatively took one step at a time, passed Butler in one position, and then hit a pull-up jumper.

Towards the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves replaced Zheng Ke, Billups and Anderson with Lowry, McMiller and Brandon Miller (to be continued......
