Even if they are fans who support the same team, they are not necessarily free from contradictions with each other.

Just like the pair of friends of the same age in the corner of the stands at this time, although both of them are Timberwolves fans, the players they like are completely different.

The blonde white guy likes the yellow guy who just joined the Wolves this year, and has a gorgeous style of play, martial arts.

Although Takedo is Asian and yellow, Takedo plays in indoor arenas all year round, and his skin is even whiter than some traditional whites. I don't know if it's for this reason, some white children prefer martial arts to the other "black brothers" of the Wolves team.

But the blonde boy's friend, the player he likes is a fierce player, likes to spew trash talk on the court, and has a strong street character.

Perhaps in the eyes of black children, people like Garnett are "man" and "cool" enough.

If Garnett could still rap a couple of words, it would be even more pleasing to black kids.

As soon as Wu Dao came up, he scored strongly, which made the faces of the little black fans darken, and they couldn't find an angle to refute their little friends for a while. And the blonde boy who saw his companion shut up also hooked the corners of his mouth, and the immature cheering sound sounded in the corner of the stands:

"Come on, Wu!"

"Defeat those bastards!"

"Lead the Timberwolves to win this game!"

The blonde boy's cheers were naturally drowned out by the tsunami-like cheers in the arena, and Wu Dao quickly returned to his half court at this moment, landing outside the three-point line to defend.

The Cavaliers, who were attacking inside, were slow to advance, and it was six or seven seconds before the Cavaliers' Blevin Knight entered the front court with the ball.

After dribbling at the top of the arc to observe the Timberwolves' defense, Blevin Knight's eyes swept over Wesley Persson in front of him before hoisting the ball inside.

In fact, the outside offensive point here is the division of Wesley Persson, but the Timberwolves have made some adjustments, and the outside players who defend Wesley Persson have been replaced by Sam Mitchell to Wudao.

Mitchell is a little older, and his athleticism has actually started to decline, and he had a clear disadvantage against Wesley Person.

Although Wu Dao is much taller than the players in the back line, his speed and strength are not slower than ordinary guards. A player like Wesley Person, although his physical talent is not bad, is still lacking compared to martial arts!

Obviously, the Cavaliers' Blevin Knight is also well aware of this, they have studied the Timberwolves before the game, and know that the martial arts can defend themselves in a terrifying way, and in the previous games, the outside aces of other teams have been miserable.

Brevine Knight didn't set his teammates to test their defensive intensity, opting for a more secure style of play.

Give the ball to the rain man Sean Kemp on the inside, and he will naturally lead the team to victory!

On the side of the paint area, Sean Kemp received the ball with his back, and after a simple blow ball, he quickly closed the ball with both hands and put it on his shoulder, and then quickly turned to face the basket, and after lifting the ball to deceive Garnett, his right hand became a ball protector, and he jumped with both feet to meet Garnett, blocked Garnett's block with one hand, and hooked the ball to the basket with his left hand.

There were no complicated changes in footwork, it was just a simple and solid action, and it was easy to pick up Garnett, and then put the basketball into the basket.

Garnett maintained an excellent posture when saving, and although there was some physical contact between him and Shaunkamp, the referee who watched all this from the bottom line did not blow the whistle.

After the basketball went into the net, the Cavaliers' bench also let out bursts of cheers.

It's just that in the stands, there was a silence for the home fans who saw the Cavaliers score.

"Hurry up and fight back!"

But soon, a sharp and immature shout sounded from the corner of the stands, and it was so abrupt in this quiet stadium.

Martial Arts, who was marching towards the front court, also followed the sound, and what caught his eye was a blonde boy holding a support card with his initials.

A smile appeared on Wu Dao's face, and he gave a thumbs up in the direction of the young man, as if to praise the other party's cheers.

At the same time, the home DJ was also very cooperative to play a piece of offensive music, which stopped as Marbury dribbled the ball into the front court and the basketball was transmitted to the hands of Martial Arts.

Holding the ball on the outside, Martial Arts repeated the old skills in the face of Wesley Persson's defense, and directly hit the opponent's body with a butt, taking a step back from Wesley Persson, and when Martial Arts blew the ball back for the second time, Wesley Persson also learned to be smart, a stool was withdrawn, and then tried to steal from the side of Martial Arts.

But at the moment when the gap appeared, Wu Dao suddenly turned around, and when Vesley Persson pounced, he quickly changed his body and accelerated directly past Vesley Persson.

Wu Dao, who entered the middle distance, didn't want to test the defensive strength of Sean Camp at all, and before the opponent came up to make up the defense, he directly made a stop-and-go jump shot and sent the ball out.

"Huh!"

With a soft sound in the field, there was a burst of cheers from the stands.

Wu Dao glanced at the basketball that fell from the net, and quickly turned back to defend. For Martial Arts, Vesley Person's unpressing, unpressing, defensive style is unlikely to affect his performance at all.

This kind of "shooting training" couldn't be easier, hitting a hundred of the same ball, and the number of martial arts shots can probably be counted with one hand.

Although the Timberwolves have not been able to narrow the point difference, after these rounds of offense and defense, the Cavaliers have no way to suppress the play of martial arts.

Coach Philip on the Timberwolves' side noticed this, and in fact, Coach Mike Fratello on the other side also noticed it.

But the Cavaliers have no way to do this, sometimes, guarding against a player is not a matter of wanting to or not, but a matter of whether or not you can.

Mike Fratello also tried to get the players to put the bag on the martial arts, but what made them desperate was that even in the face of the bag clamp, the martial arts should be dry or dry, and the rush or the rush, although the shooting encountered more powerful interference, but the outside shooting rate of the martial arts was still very outrageous.

With the offensive spindle, the rest of the Timberwolves know exactly what they need to do, with Marbury running open after getting into the frontcourt with the ball, while Sam Mitchell often goes to the basket to help his teammates get in the groove and get ready to steal the rebounds in the frontcourt.

Garnett was a bit busy, sometimes going out to help cover when Martial Arts was caught in the bag, or running his own position to give Martial Arts space.

Although the offensive burden on the Timberwolves' side is on Takemichi alone, the entire Timberwolves team has been revitalized, and the players seem to have found the backbone, playing a ball around Takemichi that can make Takemichi feel comfortable.

On the Cavaliers' side, there is no way to restrict the play of martial arts on the defensive end, so they can only find a way to do it on the offensive end.

Garnett has gradually adapted to the pressure brought by Sean Kemp, and his defensive level has improved rapidly in just a few minutes, and he has been able to occasionally interfere with Sean Kemp's attack.

In terms of the Cavaliers' outside players, they are basically in a state of dumb fire, Sam Mitchell played very well against Cedric Henderson, the opponent is a functional player with an average of about points per game, and under Sam Mitchell's full defense, Cedric Henderson is completely dumb.

This also happened to Bravin Knight, who was being tapped by Marbury, and Wesley Person, who was being tasked by Martial Arts.

Although relying on running and alternate screens can occasionally create short opportunities for players, under the defensive pressure of the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers' outside offensive efficiency is very low.

The offensive task of the whole team is pressed on the two players on the inside.

Sean Kemp played well, and the Cavaliers' young center, Vitaly Portapenko, also taught the Timberwolves' Cherokee Parkes a good lesson.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves recovered 8 points with a single quarter score of 29:21.

The score of the two teams also came from the original 44:54 to 73:75, and the difference was narrowed to 2 points.

Wudao had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, although it was not an explosion in the single quarter score, but while he played an excellent performance, he also revitalized the whole team.

The gap was narrowed by 8 points in the first quarter, and the Timberwolves fans immediately cheered loudly.

It is worth mentioning that Garnett played quite well in the face of Sean Kemp, the opponent's shots and shooting percentage were suppressed, and after the first quarter, Sean Kemp also "only" scored 7 points.

Although in this era, 7 points in a single quarter is already a very good performance, but in the eyes of Wu Dao, it is quite good to be able to control the fish man at this score.

Although Sean Kemp himself is not the kind of player who explodes in scoring, he can't stand his explosion and revitalize the whole team, can he?

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers still failed to find a way to crack the Timberwolves' offense, and after the break, the players could only return to the court with their heads down.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers finally got the opening shot, but after being chased by the Timberwolves to a 2-point difference, the mentality of the players on the Cavaliers' side has changed somewhat.

In the first attack after the start of the game, Cedric Henderson made a strong basket for a layup, but it was interfered by Garnett, who assisted in the defense, and the basketball collapsed out of the basket.

The rebounding ball that fell was also jumped by Garnett for the second time, held it in his hand, and threw it to the martial arts that quickly reversed.

In the fourth quarter, Sam Mitchell was replaced by Tom, and the energetic Wudo, Marbury and Tom decided to speed up the pace, not only to completely erase the two-point difference in the fourth quarter, but also to pull the difference in the other way around!

The basketball fell into the hands of Takemichi, and in the face of the fast pursuit of Wesley Persson, Takedo sped up his advancement, and when he crossed the three-point line, Vesley Person also appeared from Takemichi's side.

And when Takedo took a step in front of the free throw line and jumped with the ball, Wesley Person still went around the side of Takemi, jumping almost at the same time as Takemi, trying to block Takemi.

But as the one-handed taker dunked the ball into the basket against Vesley Person's defense, the referee's whistle blew.

2+1。

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wu Dao used a violent dunk to announce to everyone his determination to win the game.

And the result of the game did not disappoint the fans at the Timberwolves' home court, and the Timberwolves completely pulled up the speed in the fourth quarter, making the Cavaliers who built the team around the interior miserable.

In the last quarter, Wudao completely broke out, absorbing almost all of the team's possession, slashing 21 points in a single quarter, and finally helping the team protect its dignity at home with an absolute advantage of 30:20 in a single quarter.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Cavaliers 103-95.

So far since the beginning of the season, the Timberwolves have led the West with a terrifying 10-1 record.

Wu Dao scored 44 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in this game, and his comprehensive statistical performance is undoubtedly the best one on the team.

And after this game, all Timberwolves fans who watched the game, whether they originally supported martial arts or not, became fans of martial arts after the game.

Even if you are a black fan, no matter how much you don't like martial arts, the efficient performance of martial arts is indisputable.

After the game, the Timberwolves only had a hasty celebration, and the next morning, the whole team took a charter flight to Salt Lake City, Utah.

For NBA players, their regular season life is all about rushing, playing, playing, and rushing.

Of course, this is for those players who are more normal, and there are many players in the league who like to "play", no matter where they go to play, they can make some lace news.

Even the self-disciplined Carter in the eyes of the public has had the outrageous thing of flying back to North Carolina to attend the graduation ceremony before the playoffs.

In terms of process, Carter did not delay the game, rushed back in time before the game, and just attended a graduation ceremony, which should have been an "understandable" and "understandable" thing.

But when the Raptors lost the tie-break, the impact of Carter's "catching a plane" also became quite large.

Whenever a reporter talks about the Raptors' loss, they always mention the fact that Carter returned to North Carolina for the graduation ceremony, as if the team lost because of Carter.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that the reason why there was that tie-break was because the Raptors did not have the strength to crush their opponents.

At that time, the strength of the Raptors and the 76ers was also between them, and the victory or defeat was decided by all the players.

The Timberwolves have been in a good mood so far.

Although the coaching staff did not say anything to the players clearly, everyone in the Timberwolves knew that the young martial arts were the leader of this team.

The leader's style and habits will subtly affect all other team members.

And the attitude of martial arts towards the game is two words, serious.

In the past, martial arts was this attitude, and in the face of Jazz games, martial arts will only be more serious and cautious.

The Utah Jazz, led by Malone, are definitely one of the most powerful teams in the West at the moment.

If Wu Dao is not mistaken, this year's Jazz is the super team that swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference finals to reach the Finals, stopped Jordan in front of him, and prevented him from winning a second dynasty.

"Even in the regular season, watch out for the iron elbow of the muscular man!"

On the plane, Wu Dao looked at the sea of clouds outside the window, and secretly warned himself in his heart.
