Chapter 312: Unexpected defeat

"I'm in!"

Popovich was taken aback, this kind of drift-like shooting, and such a large amplitude, in his coaching career, only Jordan and Kobe Bryant have seen such amazing performances. Other players may be able to make movements, but it's hard to imitate that touch of fluidity. Could this be a skill that Zheng Ke has been hiding? Popovich's face was a little ugly, and he felt that if Zheng Ke hadn't done his best in the regular season, then this player would be terrible.

In fact, he thought too much, the reason why Zheng Ke used this infrequently used move was purely subconscious, he was not a player like O'Neal, Duncan, etc., hiding clumsily in the regular season and breaking out in the playoffs.

The audience at the scene immediately cheered when they saw Zheng Ke's wonderful shot, and they tirelessly clapped their palms and cheered for their team with their best efforts.

The Timberwolves still had a slight home-court advantage on their home court, and Zheng found his fifth foul of the game on Jefferson midway through the fourth quarter. Jefferson stretched out his arm helplessly, watching Zheng Ke leisurely run to the free throw line to make free throws, and suddenly gritted his teeth with hatred.

In the sound of MVP in the audience, Zheng Ke made two free throws.

The timberwolves retreated like a tide. After Zheng hit those two free throws, the Timberwolves re-tied the score, and the two teams were on the same running line with 80 points, and there were more than four minutes to go before the end of the game.

"It's really tenacious."

Duncan secretly praised in his heart, if it were an ordinary team. This strong attack failed, and then after the morale fell, there was basically no possibility of a comeback. But the Timberwolves tied the score, and the more the game got to the last moment, I felt that the more evil energy the Timberwolves players had, not only because of their sufficient physical strength, but also because of their wild power deep inside.

But I'm not easy to mess with! A gleam flashed in Duncan's eyes.

Although he didn't speak, his whole body was full of momentum, and after half time. He went straight past Parker's possession and fell to the low post to see the momentum. It's like eating Gibson alone.

"Eat me alone? Old fellow, do you think you're still the same champion? Seeing a 34-year-old man asking for the ball to play himself in the low post, Gibson suddenly felt humiliated, and his stinky mouth, which had been trained by Billups and others, immediately opened and closed. Viciously trash-talk attacks on Duncan.

Duncan's face was expressionless. Kwon Dang didn't hear it.

Everyone opened up the space and looked at the two people on the field, looking forward to the final result.

The Spurs are very confident in Duncan, and Ginobili, Parker and others looked at Duncan and knew his abilities in their hearts. And Zheng Ke and others also have confidence in Gibson, you must know that Gibson's strength is the second place in the current Timberwolves team. Second only to Zheng Ke, this 25-year-old young man has an amazing amount of strength. Defense and rebounding are his number one skills in the NBA!

The wind gradually stopped, and the people held their breath and watched intently as the two giants fought on the field.

"Drink!"

Duncan snorted, but he had enough strength and directly chose to have a primitive collision with the young man!

"Bang!"

Gibson's face flushed, and he couldn't help but take a step back. It was a great shame for him, so when he stepped back, he looked like a mad tiger and put it back on like a kraft candy.

Duncan had the intention of destroying the Timberwolves' defense in the most brutal and violent way possible.

In the second round, he used more force, this time combined with the muscle strength of his back, and that brute force was used to a point, like a giant hammer hitting Gibson in the chest.

Gibson only felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't feel comfortable holding his breath in his chest.

"Hey!"

Duncan grabbed the basketball, hugged it with both hands, and turned around hard and turned under the basket like a top.

"Don't think!"

Although he suffered a loss, Gibson was still full of fighting spirit, and when he saw Duncan turn around, step out, and jump up, he actually wanted a cap!

A flash of surprise flashed in Duncan's eyes, but his gaze immediately became more determined. This time, no one can stop him!

Height, reach, and the most beautiful rhythm and timing allowed Duncan to turn around and lift the ball to a frightening height with one hand with the help of that force.

"Bang dang!"

Grazing Gibson's arm, Duncan smashed the ball into the basket with one hand, tugging at the curved hoop and tilting the entire basketball hoop. The two of them roared like beasts at the same time, like two brute beasts colliding!

"God!"

The audience at the scene couldn't help but gasp, seeing Duncan's violent and powerful dunk, even Timberwolves fans who were used to seeing Zheng Ke wreaking havoc on the basket couldn't help but exclaim.

Duncan's eyes widened under the basket, he didn't smile, but at the moment he was domineering.

"!"

Gibson bit his lip, his face turned red, "I actually let an old man buckle Yan?" The first thing that rose in his heart was a deep sense of anger, staring into Duncan's eyes, especially displeased.

On the side of the field, Popovich, who was watching the game, had his eyes lit up at this moment and couldn't help but applaud. "Do you finally have to give it your all? Tim? It's been a long time since I've seen you give your all. Popovich thought to himself, seeing the scene of Duncan's resurgence, he couldn't help but think of the young boy at the beginning, more than ten years have flown by, and the boy has become an uncle, and the only thing that remains unchanged is still the burning heart that loves basketball.

Zheng Ke was stimulated by Duncan's basketball, he looked at Duncan deeply, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, he felt the blood burning all over his body, this is the opponent he hopes to meet!

"Give it to me!"

As soon as the half court passed, Zheng Ke stuck Jefferson's body and reached for the ball.

Despite Jefferson's efforts, he was still stuck by Zheng Ke, not to mention reaching out to break the ball, it was impossible to move. Zheng Ke easily picked up Billups' drop shot from the three-point line.

Zheng Ke turned into a two-handed ball with one hand, and his body turned to attack with the frame.

In that moment, he stepped out of his steps!

It's so sudden!

Jefferson thought he was going to do some feints or something, but after taking the ball from Zheng Ke, he turned around and began to break through. Jefferson couldn't react, and when he came back to his senses, Zheng Ke was already parallel to him, and when he moved his center of gravity again, Zheng Ke was already whistling past with an unstoppable momentum.

Tiptoe, bend knees, twist, raise hands.

As soon as the tetralogy passed, Zheng Ke's sideways backward jump shot hit, the action was still so elegant, but the amplitude of the lean was more and more amazing, not much better than No. 23.

Seeing his star in charge of the house respond to Duncan's strong dunk under the basket just now with such a dashing goal, the fans at the target center immediately cheered, they whistled, clapped their palms, and almost had no flag in their hands to wave the flag to cheer.

At the last moment of life and death between the two teams, the star of the house began to take over the game.

In terms of the ability to make key balls, Zheng Ke does not lose to anyone, after all, he has a plug-in in his hand. But today's Duncan is also not lagging behind, he forced Gibson several times, and decisively divided the ball when he encountered the bag, and the Spurs played more patiently in the last moments of the game, even if the tactics did not run well in the first 12 seconds, and the last 12 seconds must go to a set of tactics. Sharing the ball, sharing the ball, sharing the ball without stopping, they got a couple of very good chances.

Perhaps last year's championship was too hurtful, and this year's Timberwolves led by Zheng Ke obviously encountered great difficulties.

More than 1 minute after the first game, when the two teams were tied at 86, Ginobili actually scored a 3-pointer from the outside, and what was even worse was that the saved Afraro knocked Ginobili down, and the referee subconsciously blew the whistle for a foul. When the Timberwolves players went up to debate, several referees pretended to run to the technical table to watch the replay again, but at this time, it was no longer a question of whether to foul or not, but to see if Ginobili's three-point shot had stepped on the line.

The three referees watched it for a long time, and they were wearing headphones or something, and the most reluctantly decided that Ginobili was a three-point shot.

It was a bolt from the blue, and when Ginobili scored the extra free throw in the face of the crowd's boos, the Timberwolves instantly fell behind by 4 points, which is already a relatively large difference between the two teams so far in this game. All of a sudden, the situation became very unfavorable for the Timberwolves. "What's going on, Aaron? Why is there such a senseless foul at this time? How can this ball be defended like this? Whitman called a timeout, and then came down with a crackling spell at Afralo.

Affralo's face was full of depression, and he muttered, "I didn't mean to. That Manu was originally a left-handed general, and the style of the ball was weird, and I also jumped with all my strength to defend him, but I didn't know that he pretended to be so similar, and Lao Tzu touched his hand, and he TMD was like an electric shock."

Coming back from a timeout, the Timberwolves serve on the sideline.

Whitman arranged a set of tactics for the Timberwolves that were often explained during pregame training, and at this time the Timberwolves should be pursuing shooting percentage, so the two people who gave the ball - Zheng Ke and Billups were responsible for breaking inside, directly attacking the basket or seeking to make fouls.

This arrangement is exactly what Popovich wants!

He didn't even have to break his fingers to guess that Whitman would arrange it like this, and by the time the game started and the Timberwolves were running according to the tactics, Duncan on the inside line had already stared at Zheng Ke's figure.

When Zheng Ke struggled to rush inside, he made a layup against Duncan, and he forcibly twisted his body in the air, dodged Duncan's defensive area, and chose an irregular layup action, which looked extremely hard.

After hitting the board, the basketball bounced to the hoop, circled around the hoop a few times, and then rolled out amid a sigh from the fans.

The rebound was taken by McDyce, and the situation of the Timberwolves became more and more unfavorable.

Parker then hit a mid-range jumper to give the Spurs a six-point lead over the Timberwolves at the 45-second mark. Although Zheng Ke hit a 3-pointer later, the Spurs hit every free throw steadily, and after Zheng Ke missed the second three-pointer, the Timberwolves announced the death penalty of this game.

Zheng Ke smiled bitterly: "After all, he is not the man who is moved by God" (to be continued......
