The Timberwolves on the court put on a "five-forward tactic" similar to what Pat Riley said, which is also a matter of no way, Anthony has been rested, but it is the Timberwolves who are behind on the court, if you don't take advantage of Anthony's rest to grasp the initiative on the court, then the second half will be difficult. So Whitman's lineup may be a flash of inspiration for him, but more of a fear is forced out by the situation.

If someone said before this game that the Timberwolves would hand over the victory or defeat of a game to a rookie, then others would think that this person is crazy, but this is the case, and the initiative on the court is in Zheng Ke's hands.

Now the focus of the whole court is on Zheng Ke, can he play a good point guard?

Iverson hasn't defended big men before, but that's all after a misalignment, like a big man over two meters who is a point guard, and he's seen the Cleveland Cavaliers and Rockets McGrady play like this before.

However, Iverson obviously thinks highly of Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke has no organizational ability at all now, he is just a pure "point guard", so just after halftime, Zheng Ke hit the ground and passed the ball to Jefferson.

From the audience, there is only one Jefferson single on the inside, and the rest of Zheng Ke, Gerard Green, Gossman, and Cory Brewer are all standing outside the three-point line, and the distance between them is quite large.

That's right, this is the tactics of the Magic, a super interior plus four shooters to stand on the outside, but compared to the Magic, the Timberwolves have an advantage in outside height, but the three-point accuracy does not know whether it is better or worse than the Magic.

Jefferson singled Martin inside and drew a foul on Martin and hit the free throw

Offense and defense rotated, Zheng Ke arced to defend Iverson.

Iverson controlled the ball and pretended to be a tactical gesture. It is impossible to say that Zheng Ke is not nervous, there is no vanity under the fame, although Iverson's speed is not as good as his peak, but the results of the Eye of Heaven probe tell him that Iverson is still a superstar with an ability value of up to 90, especially the speed, which still reaches 91!!

Suddenly, Ivor dribbled the ball under his crotch and put the ball in his right hand.

Zheng Ke was unmoved, he thought to himself: "There will definitely be a follow-up move!" ”

Who knew that Iverson really only dribbled once, and after he handed the ball to his right hand, he accelerated and rushed sideways, and the amazing explosiveness and speed immediately passed Zheng Ke.

"I'll go!" Zheng Ke scolded secretly and hurried to follow, but he was already one position behind, and could only watch Iverson throw and hit before Jefferson made up the defense.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but I want to say, your defense is terrible, rookie!" After coming back, Iverson's machine gun seemed to burst into Zheng Ke's ear with a trash word.

"No matter how good the offense is, you don't have a ring, do you?" Zheng Ke was not angry, and replied with a smile.

Iverson finally knew that Anthony Weishenme was going to be angry, this second-wheeled rookie's mouth was too poisonous, and he specialized in revealing other people's scars, and he saw Zheng Ke's smiling face, and he also wanted to beat him up.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Jefferson hit another hook shot from Martin.

"Martin, what are you doing! Take good hold! Allen, next round you wrap up Jefferson! Don't let him cut points so easily! Nuggets head coach George Karl yelled from the sidelines.

Nuggets offense.

This time, Zheng Ke directly retreated one meter away from Iverson.

"Oh, can't you prevent sudden shots?" Iverson muttered, "It's naïve to think that you can stop me like this!" ”

Iverson crossed the ball and gradually pushed forward. Zheng Ke retreated step by step, and the distance between the two sides was always maintained between half a meter and one meter.

Iverson made a breakthrough to the left, but Zheng Ke didn't move, "It's so far away, it's too late to move when you come over." Zheng Ke thought.

Unexpectedly, Iverson's breakthrough was a feint, he instantly stepped back and then made a jumper.

"What" Zheng Ke was shocked, but he was too far away from Iverson, and with Iverson's retreat, even if Zheng Ke raised his long arm, he couldn't interfere much with Iverson.

Fortunately, the ball was too curved and hit the back edge of the basket and was not thrown.

"Stick it up, Zheng! Follow him at your speed! Whitman yelled disgruntled from the sidelines.

Zheng Kegan made an OK gesture to show that he knew. After all, Zheng Ke is just a newcomer, he has only played 7 games at full play, there are many players in the NBA, they have their own styles, it is impossible to rely on a defense to go the world, the opponent is changing, and the strategy is also changing.

So in the next round, Zheng Ke did not retreat, but still used the initial defense, using his long arms to press Iverson, and he did not dare to be too aggressive to prevent Iverson from making a foul. Iverson's speed is indeed fast, but Zheng Ke's speed is not slow, Zheng Ke's speed reached 88 after speed training, which is almost the top speed in the NBA. Iverson couldn't open the situation, and the offense of the Nuggets team was hindered!

"Oh God!" Smith, who was sitting on the sidelines, exclaimed, "This second-round show is amazing!" “

"He actually really prevented the answer" Barkley also found it a little incredible: "I think our young man from China has found the answer to survive in the NBA!" “

To say that the Nuggets' lineup is not unpleasant, Iverson, Diawara, Kreza, Kenyon Martin, Camby, but compared with the Timberwolves' lineup, the Nuggets obviously lack vitality and the defensive rotation is too slow.

After Jefferson was caught by the Nuggets, he did not choose to play hard, but chose to pass the ball to the outside, and the Timberwolves outside player passed the ball into the hands of the open player. Zheng Ke, Brewer, and Green each threw in a three-pointer, and the Timberwolves instantly recovered the score, 38:38!!

"Drop~~" Nuggets request a timeout.

George Carr blushed, he didn't expect to rely on the Timberwolves' way of playing to recover the score.

"Martin is out of the game, Nene, you go on, you have to guard against Jefferson when you get on the field! Camby is also out of the game, Nahula, you play, you have to pay more attention to running after you play, you are a veteran, make more trouble for the rookies of the Timberwolves! Karl's eyes grew brighter.

"Allen, you're going to foul that rookie, he definitely doesn't have any experience with that," Carl said as he turned to Iverson.

"Got it, coach." Iverson said sullenly, the kid's defense just now had a lot of impact on him, he played very depressed, and now he is going to foul a rookie, although it is understandable from the team level, but this makes Iverson, who has strong self-esteem, quite unhappy.

"Coach, why don't you let me go!" Anthony shook off the towel and said.

"No, all you have to do now is recover your strength, and in the second half you and Allen will have to sum up the game together." Karl said with a wave of his hand

Timberwolves on the bench.

"Zheng, you did a good job!" The head coach patted Zheng Ke who came off the field with satisfaction. This made the friends who also came down from the field very unhappy.

"Coach, what about us?" The extroverted Green grinned and said, "I just scored a three-pointer!" “

"Of course, boys, you've all done a great job!" Whitman clapped his hands at the players who came off the court: "You're about to take out a strong contender for the championship!" “

"As long as we keep it that way and share the ball with each other, we can definitely win this game!" Whitman clapped his hands and cheered loudly:

"Let's keep fighting!"
