Adelman's brows furrowed, Maddy's several shots were not in his tactical arrangement, but then, his brows relaxed, these few times Maddy's timing of the shot is very good, in his experience, Maddy's state today is quite good, the most important thing is that because of Maddy's "unexpected outburst", the Rockets are now leading the Timberwolves by a large score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led by 13 points, 38-25!

Scored 38 points on the Timberwolves' head in a single quarter! This is not something that the average team can do. This season, although the Timberwolves have been criticized for their interior strength, their excellent point guard lineup and complete wing players have ensured the Timberwolves' strong outside defense, and the Timberwolves are one of the most defensive three-point teams this season.

Everyone thought it would be a battle, including Drexler, who was optimistic about the Rockets' victory before the game, and he didn't think the Rockets could spend the Timberwolves in one quarter.

Zheng Ke returned to the bench with an ugly face, he never thought that the Yao Mai combination, which had been criticized, would one day exert force on his head, let alone that the two of them could work together to score 25 points in one quarter!

Zheng Ke clenched his fists and scolded unhappily: "Damn it." “

"Damn it!" Whitman's mouth suddenly came out of a foul mouth, and Zheng Ke looked up at him in surprise, but he didn't expect him and the coach to think together.

Whitman's eyes were red as he looked at No. 96, who was now on a rampage on the field. He muttered, "Is this the strength of Team Rocket?" Is this the tactic of Team Rocket? “

Yao Ming first focused on the interior, beat Anderson and then forced the Timberwolves to shrink their defense. Then the outside line was playing, Maddie and Yao Ming took over and broke out, opening the score in an instant. When he came off the bench in this quarter, he let Artest add Zuihou to a fire. Put more pressure on your opponent. “

The more Whitman looked, the more chilled he became, he didn't expect this little old man who was not good-looking to be so powerful, no wonder he could lead the king of the year to challenge the OK combination at his peak, compared to him, there was really a gap. Whitman smiled self-deprecatingly, his face full of helplessness.

At the peak of Artest's integrity in 08, Zheng Ke looked at his ability value. Offensive rating is 80, defense rating is 89, and rebounding rating is 82. The overall rating reached 86, and the verdict: this is a typical flank heavy tank, no one can easily break through in front of him, he has the most fighting spirit.

Pit Daddy's ability value. Zheng Ke was powerless to complain. This ability can be the boss of some low-end teams. Atai was willing to be a third-in-command or second-in-command in the rocket. But when Zheng Ke remembered that Atai would run to the Lakers next year to be his fourth and fifth leader, he was relieved, and this guy was not doing things on the first day.

Zheng Ke became more and more worried about the more he watched off the court, and Brewer, who played instead of him, usually couldn't see it, but as soon as he encountered a gravity player like Artest, his defense instantly turned into scum, and Artest continuously crushed Brewer into the interior. Although the hit rate is not high, the damage caused is particularly large. In a short time, Smith was fouled three times, and the margin widened even further.

"Coach, let me go, if it goes on like this, I don't have to play in the second half." Zheng Ke shook off the towel above his head and said.

"yes, coach, I can continue to play." Echoing Zheng is Billups, who has the heaviest weight to speak here, and Whitman often listens to him.

Whitman didn't hesitate any longer, he nodded, and although only four minutes had passed in the second quarter, the Rockets had already led by 18 points at 51-33. There is no way in the special situation, the Timberwolves can only hurry up and fight again, if not, they don't need to play the main force in the second half.

"Drop~ Timberwolves request a substitution." Live DJ for real-time coverage.

"Zheng and Billups played together?" Drexler's tone was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Timberwolves have changed to husband and wife, they are ready to fight to the death, if the pit is dug too big in the first half, I am afraid that the whole Timberwolves will not be able to win in the second half." Barkley explained for the Timberwolves.

Zheng Ke motioned for Brewer to come off the field, and then he stood next to Artest, he pursed his mouth, did not speak, and had a very serious expression.

"Don't be so dull, Zheng, take it easy, you're all going to lose this game anyway." Atai spreads his shoulders and spews trash talk in a rap tone.

Zheng Ke didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was all listening to rock songs, and when he thought about it, he really didn't understand what Atai was saying.

The current on-court lineup of the Timberwolves: Billups, Randy Foye, Zheng Ke, Smith, Channing Fry.

The Rockets' current on-court lineup: Hyde, Weaver, Artest, Landry, Hayes.

The first effect after Billups and Zheng Ke came on the court together, the Timberwolves who were originally a little flustered on the court calmed down as soon as possible, they were like a sigh of relief, and even their movements were much smoother, without the original stiffness.

Artest kept making small moves, doing everything when defending Zheng Ke, and the big hand placed on Zheng Ke's waist repeatedly made Zheng Ke frown. It's not that he despises Artay, after all, every player in the NBA has their own style of play, and some players just like to disrupt their opponents with small movements, which has almost become their survival instinct.

Zheng Kedou came out, and the three-point line received Billups's ball at 60 degrees, and the moment he received the ball, he exerted his strength with one foot, directly rose from the ground, and the whole person jumped high into the air.

Maddie's hazy eyes on the field suddenly lit up, and Zheng Ke's shot was quite difficult.

"Huh!"

Three-point hit!

51 to 36.

There was a burst of applause at the scene, which was a Chinese fan who came to cheer for Zheng Ke.

"Huh!"

Billups hits a three-point shot!

53 to 39.

"Huh!"

Zheng Ke hit another three-point shot!

53 to 42.

"Oh oh, God. Zheng Ke hit a three-pointer again! The Timberwolves hit three three-pointers in a row in less than 2 minutes, is this the tactic of Randy (Whitman) head coach? The effect is obviously that! “

The three old guys exclaimed again and again, one of the more heart-warming scenes on the NBA court is the continuous scoring, many people like the NBA because they like their fast-paced offense, continuous scoring and soaring.

Adelman didn't call a timeout, he felt that the initiative was still on the Rockets' side, and he turned his head to look at the pile of starters on the bench, feeling a little more at ease.

But in the blink of an eye, he regretted it, Zheng Ke rushed to the frontcourt, and rose from the ground one step away from the three-point line, and the basketball was hollow into the frame like a demon! 53 to 45!

Adelman couldn't sit still any longer, he got out of the stool and walked over to the referee to make a timeout gesture, and he asked for a timeout.

"Yay death!" Zheng Ke frightened Whitman's heart when he was one step away from the three-point line, and he also went crazy when the basketball obediently fell into the basket, and at this moment, he jumped up from the bench like a football coach who saw a goal. Then he remembered something, put on a majestic appearance, and applauded gracefully. didn't see it, the camera on the side had already filmed the picture of him jumping up, and after the game, some media gave Whitman a nickname: "Coach Antelope." ”

Adelman was really mad, he knew that No. 17 was difficult, but he didn't expect to be so perverted, and he chased the difference of 18 points to only 8 points in an instant, did he think he was Maddie? Adelman complained inwardly. Thinking of Maddie, he turned his head to look at the bench, Maddie was looking at him in a daze, and as soon as he turned his head, the eyes of the two people instantly communicated.

"Tracy, I think it's time to defend your territory." Adelman also bandited, and he let it go: "Yao, you also play, this lead must be maintained until the end of the first half, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes!"

In the NBA, a coach is able to meet the standard of excellence; Seeing the trick and not dismantling it, this is the performance of an unqualified coach; Dismantling a move before seeing a move is the skill of a top coach.

Adelman's response was a little slower, the Rockets' lead was only 8 points, which was not a safe lead in the NBA at all, and the Timberwolves' players were now different, and for a while they were on par with the Rockets.

At halftime, the Rockets led the Timberwolves by nine points, 64-55. By this time, Yao Ming had already scored 22 points and 4 rebounds, and he was named the best player of the half.

Sister Miller swayed and laboriously raised the microphone to interview Yao Ming as the best player of the half.

"You felt hot today, you scored 22 points in the first half, did you practice before the game?"

Yao Ming lowered his head and said with a smile: "yes, yes, I feel very hot today, I shot a lot of balls, I practiced a few sets of liliang training before the game, and I was fully prepared before the game, so the shooting was very stable." ”

"Haode, second question," Sister Miller asked, "You used to have a lead of almost 20 points, but now you only have a 9-point lead, is there something wrong with that?" ”

Yao Ming thought to himself that he had asked this question, he thought about it and said, "Yes, the Timberwolves are a tough-willed team. ZK was eye-catching, he hit a lot of three-pointers, and we lost a lot of lead as a result. ”

"Xiexie, your answer."

"No thanks."

Yao Ming lowered his head and walked into the locker room (to be continued......
