For the Timberwolves, the Wizards are definitely not a tricky opponent, at least compared to the Trail Blazers, compared to the Magic, compared to the Lakers and Rockets, they are not a strong opponent.

The only problem was that the Wizards had a great hand in the first half, and even Haywood hit a buzzer-beating mid-range shot.

In this case, the Timberwolves only led by one point at 57-56 to end the half, and Zheng Ke came back in the second quarter, and he tried to force a few shots, causing great damage to the Wizards.

After the second half, Whitman tried to change the lineup, replacing veteran Brad Miller with Anderson, because the Wizards center Haywood had almost no independent offensive ability, the Timberwolves made this substitution, reducing the protection of the restricted area and improving the overall offensive strength of the Timberwolves.

The Wizards' hot hand finally cooled down after halftime.

Zheng Ke was very good at reading the game, and immediately attacked a few times, improving the morale of the Timberwolves through fast breaks, and playing a wave of 15-4 attacks.

Sanders' face was unswerving, and he had already called two timeouts in the third quarter, but the team was never able to get into the groove, not only did they miss shots, but they also made more mistakes.

"Gilbert!" After the timeout, Sanders said to Arenas: "Don't look for touch on the outside, you've already missed three shots in this quarter!" We need to increase the inside kills, play inside, and create damage! They've replaced Chris Anderson, there's only a 34-year-old veteran on the inside, and he's still a floor stream, what are you afraid of? ”

The Wizards came to their senses after Sanders' roar-like tactical arrangement. Begin to break through to the inside line, looking for a kill to the inside line.

Brad Miller's ability to protect the penalty area is naturally inferior to that of Birdman, for a while. The Wizards made a few free throws and hit a couple of layups by the likes of Arenas and Jamison. The score gap also narrowed a little in the face of the Wizards' series of ferocious breakaways.

But when it comes to the overall momentum, the Timberwolves, who have the advantage of being at home, still suppressed the Wizards to the death. Zheng Ke showed a series of offensive methods in the second half of the third quarter, and he turned on the one-handed ball mode, which not only caused the audience to scream. led the Timberwolves to play wave after wave of climaxes.

After Zheng turned on scoring mode, the Timberwolves ended the third quarter with a 14-point lead at 87-73.

In the first game, Whitman didn't want to give the Wizards a chance to turn the tables. As a result, several of the young players in the squad had little chance to play, with Lawson, who was the top pick, getting 10 minutes of playing time, while others, such as Gibson, had to sit on the bench.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves continued to widen the score advantage. Zheng Ke went to the last half of the quarter. He hit two mid-range shots and a three-pointer, smashing a big rock directly into the leaky Wizards, smashing a big hole.

Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, the Wizards replaced all the main players with more than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter and announced their surrender!

In the midst of laughter, the game ended. The Timberwolves got off to a flying start with a big win over the Wizards, with Zheng scoring a game-high 35 points and nine rebounds.

At a time when winning has become a habit, few players can still tolerate the feeling of losing. How long has it been since Iverson had experienced such a hearty victory? He didn't feel like he was doing much. The Timberwolves won the game with ease, and this feeling made him a little lost and made him a little happy.

Iverson played 23 minutes, scoring 15 points and diaring out four assists on 6-of-9 shooting, playing less minutes but more efficiently.

After the game, people were surprised to find that the dark horse Wizards team favored by experts before the start of the season was so vulnerable, and fans who watched the game knew that if the Wizards were not too perverted in the first half, the Timberwolves might have killed the suspense of the game in half time.

At the same time, the degree of understanding between Iverson and the Timberwolves is surprising. You know, Iverson, who needs to attack with the ball, has used his previous failed seasons to show that he is not a panacea for all teams, but a double-edged sword. In the first game, Iverson and the Timberwolves showed good chemistry, but it was only the beginning, and many people still had a wait-and-see attitude.

In the other three games, the Celtics won the Cavaliers 95-89, and James, who had 38 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks and 5 turnovers, was difficult to save; The Trail Blazers won the Rockets 96-87, and the Rockets are now also in single-core mode. The Lakers beat the Clippers 99-92, and Bynum had 26 points and 13 rebounds, showing how fast he has improved after a summer.

James ranked first with 38 points, Zheng Ke ranked second with 35 points, and Kobe Bryant ranked third with 33 points, which is in line with ESPN's survey of the three strongest basketball players on the planet in the minds of fans before the start of the season.

The Timberwolves started the season with a dense schedule, and after the opening game, the players went straight to New Jersey. There, they're going to challenge the Nets, who have already traded out Carter.

Last season, Harris had a happier time with the Nets, and despite the team's poor record, he averaged 21.3 points and 6.9 assists per game. However, after returning from a season, people suddenly found that the extremely fast Harris was so bad in the first game, facing the Timberwolves, only handed over 14 points and 5 assists, and shot surprisingly well, only 4 of 13, it seems that in the face of Billups, he has forgotten how to break through.

From the first quarter, the Timberwolves dominated the game and directly suppressed the Nets.

From start to finish, the Nets haven't done a decent comeback. Only at the beginning of the third quarter, Brook Lopez led the Nets to a 10-2 small climax, but the Timberwolves paused and immediately hit a three-pointer by Zheng Ke, and then Zheng Ke cut off Lopez's dribble on the defensive end, counterattacked and made a layup, directly extinguishing the small fire that the Nets had just burned.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Nets 98-85 on the road, and Zheng Ke scored 31 points and 6 assists, and was named the best player of the game.

The Timberwolves ended the game with a big margin of more than 10 points in two consecutive games, and the state and strength shown by the Timberwolves were terrifying, and many die-hard Timberwolves fans began to shout on the Internet to break the Bulls' 72-win record, which caused dissatisfaction among fans of other teams, causing a war of words.

Two days later, the Timberwolves took on the Cavaliers on the road.

The two-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, and the Cavaliers were united in this game, with eight players, including James, scoring double-doubles, and O'Neal returning to his youth, scoring a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds in just 20 minutes, proving that he is not old in front of the defending champions.

Zheng Ke cut 45 points and 8 assists on James's head, and his personal data exploded James, who only scored 23 points and 9 rebounds.

Unfortunately, the team lost, so that Zheng Ke was not happy, the most unfortunate thing is that Brad Miller hit his left foot in the confrontation with O'Neal, and the team doctor examination after the game showed that Miller's injury was negative, and there was a tendency to deteriorate further, and the best result was to be suspended for four weeks.

Of course, Brad Miller's injury made one member of the team secretly happy, and that was Nikola Pekovic, who knew it was wrong, but couldn't stop thinking about such a little evil in his heart, after all, after Miller's injury, Pekovic's playing time and playing opportunities will be greatly increased.

Miller's injury is a wake-up call to Whitman, the Timberwolves are not like last year, there is a 30-year-old player on the team, and the physical examination of the veteran players should be on the work agenda, and at the same time, the playing time of the veteran players in the usual games needs to be carefully considered.

The end of the first week of the league.

Pierce in the East and Nowitzki in the West were named the Eastern and Western Player of the Year in the first week, and Zheng Ke is blind in his stats, but with his current value, a 2-1 record is too much for him to win the award.

And Zheng Ke is at the top of the scoring list with an average of 37 points per game after three games, and behind him is a series of superstar names: James, Kobe, Wade (to be continued......
