At halftime, the famous female basketball player, now ESPN basketball reporter Cherie Miller, also known as "Sister Miller", stopped Zheng Ke, who was about to enter the players' tunnel, she raised the microphone in her hand and said: "Zheng, you scored a game-high 17 points in the first half, and every shot was hit, is there any secret to this?" ”

Zheng Ke lowered his head, hung the towel around his neck, and said: "You know, this kind of thing is unavoidable, I just followed the coach's instructions to shoot, and I was lucky that I hit all the balls." ”

Sister Miller then asked another question: "How many points do you think you could have scored in the first half?" ”

Zheng Ke smiled, and he quickly thought about his performance in the first half in his mind.

"It's okay to score an eight, and overall, I'm happy with my performance, but you know, I've had a couple of times where I didn't handle the ball very well, so," Zheng said, shrugging his shoulders.

Sister Miller withdrew the microphone: "Xiexie! ”

"No thanks" Zheng Ke turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel

Zheng Ke's outstanding performance attracted the attention of the majority of Chinese fans, and everyone called friends to watch the broadcast of the imperial court, and after the intermission, the ratings of the imperial court began to skyrocket, making the leaders in charge laugh from ear to ear

The Timberwolves' home team locker room.

Whitman held the tactics board nervously laid out the tactics, after the first half of the game, he has understood a little, this Pacers team is not easy to defend, with the current lineup of the Timberwolves is impossible to defend, if you want to win, you can only work on offense, so he has arranged a lot of offensive tactics.

"Do you understand?" Whitman clasped his hands on the blue tactical board and asked the ladies in a loud voice.

"Understood," replied with their heads hung and weak.

"Okay," Whitman comforted his disciples, "I know you guys are most annoyed by this kind of theoretical stuff, but if we want to win, we have to come up with tactical execution like the Spurs, we are all professional players, and the nature of players is to win, so let's be serious, okay?" ”

"Okay," everyone replied like elementary school students answering their teachers.

Whitman nodded, "Then I'll say it again." ”

The crowd fell

The second half began.

Jarric carefully controlled the ball in the front court, he didn't dare to underestimate the slightly bloated point guard in front of him now, Tinsley took the basketball from his hand twice in the first half, Whitman said that if he was stealed again in the second half, then he would not want to play in this game.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his hand shook, and he gave the ball to Zheng Ke, who came out of his pocket.

Tinsley pouted: "Waste"

Jarich wasn't annoyed either, he smiled, and didn't look at Tinsley's disdainful eyes, anyway, as long as he didn't have to do Lima's trash talk, he was immune.

Zheng Ke received the pass and dotted in the air, he was a little scary in the first half, and then Granger was tricked into jumping up, Zheng Ke flashed a hint of cunning in his eyes, and withdrew the basketball he raised, and the cat waist broke through Granger's defense

Zheng Ke's speed was very fast, and by the time Pacers center Foster was ready to make up the defense, Zheng Ke had already hit the paint area, and Foster strode forward with one foot and stood in the circle with one foot.

Zheng Ke couldn't avoid it, the two collided together, Foster was touched by Zheng Ke's such a powerful charge, one didn't stand firm, and fell to the ground, Zheng Ke was also uncomfortable, a huge reaction force came from the front, he snorted, barely threw the ball out, and then sat on the ground with a butt.

"Toot ~~"

The referee's whistle sounded, the Pacers center blocked the foul, and Zheng Ke made two free throws!

It still hurts to sit on the ground, and after standing up with Jefferson and Channingfly's outstretched hands, Zheng grinned and reached out to rub his ass.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

I missed two free throws!

Zheng Ke looked at his hand and couldn't believe that it was thrown by himself.

Whitman's setup didn't have much effect, but the Timberwolves still played some offensive coordination, and at the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led the Pacers by three points at home 84-81 into the fourth quarter.

The beginning of the fourth quarter was still the stage for the bench lineups of the two teams, and this time the Pacers' benches did not play crazy offense, Daniels and Harrison only played occasionally, and the difference between the two teams remained 1 to 3 points, and the situation was very tense

Whitman quietly pulled Zheng Ke and Jefferson and instructed: "Zheng, you step up your personal attack a little more in a while, and when Al can't open the situation, you must stand up!" “

"Haode, Coach!" Zheng Ke nodded solemnly.

Whitman continued to say to Jefferson: "Al, you have to protect our backcourt rebounds, although Channing's rebounding ability has improved, but he still can't resist those inside muscles, the key to winning this game is that you control the rebounds!" “

"Hmm," Jefferson understood, snorting.

Two people got on the field at the time of 7 minutes in zuihou!

"I really didn't expect this game to be so anxious and so intense!" Yang Jian, the host of the imperial court station, said.

"yes!" Yang Yi took the information in his hand and echoed casually: "This just proves what we said before the game, the outcome of these two teams is unpredictable, both have strength and opportunities."

Yang Jian said: "Okay, when there are 7 minutes and 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the game, the Timberwolves have changed all the main lineups, and Zheng Ke and Jefferson are on the court!" The Pacers' side is also a soldier-to-soldier, a general, replaced by a bench, replaced by Granger, Murphy and Tinsley! “

Yang Yi said: "This is a normal team rotation, maybe Jefferson played a little late, but the Timberwolves' bench lineup has been playing well, and there is no chance for the Pacers to equalize or overtake the score, so it is normal for the head coach to compress Jefferson's time a little." “

That's right, Jefferson, who had enough rest, was like a tiger released by opening the gates, and when he came up, he turned around fiercely, crashed away from the defender of Foster, and ended the offense with an O'Neal-style slam dunk

"Beautiful!" "Well done!" "Dry copy of the Indians!" The target center, which has been immersed for a long time, began to boil gradually, and through Jefferson's dunk, the momentum of the Timberwolves began to rise!

The Timberwolves lead the Pacers by 4 points!

The Pacers attack.

Granger called out to his teammates: "Don't panic, don't rush, give me the ball!" “

At this most critical moment, Granger must stand up as the boss of the team, which is his responsibility and his obligation, so he has to pass the ball.

Zheng Ke spread his long arms, his feet spread out, his knees slightly widened, and his eyes fixed on Granger's movements.

Granger's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly took a step to the right with his right foot!

Zheng Ke obviously won't be fooled by Granger's fake move, in other words, even if Granger's action is real, Zheng Ke has a way to block him.

Granger saw through Zheng Ke's feint, and immediately took another step with his right foot.

This time it's real!

Although Granger is known for his accurate shooting, his breakthrough is actually okay, but this breakthrough is a bit unsightly for Zheng Ke, who is used to seeing all kinds of top breakthroughs.

Granger broke through a few times, and felt that Zheng Ke was always standing in front of him, no matter how he tried, how he dribbled, how he used feints, Zheng Ke was like an unclimbable mountain, he really couldn't do it.

The audience burst into boos, and the boos intensified, getting louder and louder

Granger felt that he couldn't hold the face on his face, this dead rookie was so hateful!

"Cast it! Danny! Knowing that the 24 seconds were almost up, Granger gritted his teeth and unleashed a difficult pull-up jumper.

Just waiting for you this moment! A bright light flashed in Zheng Ke's eyes, his calves tightened, and he stepped forward and rose from the ground! The 2.16-meter arm span was fully displayed, and it quickly rushed to the top of Granger's head, covering every angle of Granger's shot like a five-finger mountain!

"Be careful!" Tinsley, who was outside the three-point line, let out an exclamation, wanting to remind his teammates, but it was too late, Zheng Ke completely played at a super level, and the speed of the bullet at this moment was very amazing, and he rushed to the top of Granger's head in a flash of lightning!

Zheng Ke let out a loud shout, and his outstretched hand slammed into the basketball held up in Granger's hand!

"Smack!"

The basketball was hit head-on, Zheng Ke pumped his hands numb, and Granger, of course, could no longer hold the basketball steadily, so he could only watch the basketball get out of control and fly out of the sideline from his hand

"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng ~~~~ Ke ~~~~~"

The DJ immediately burst out of his passionate voice, and the audience instantly turned boos into cheers, they shouted Zheng Ke's name, clapped and whistled vigorously!

Looking at Granger, who was a little depressed, Zheng Ke, a man with a bad stomach on the court, quietly came to Granger's side: "Is this your strength?" Seems to be a little weaker."

Sometimes a dunk, a block or a counterattack on the court can lift a team's morale, and this game is no different.

After receiving a slam dunk and a block from the second leader, the Timberwolves will have high morale and prevent the Pacers' multiple attacks, stretching the difference to 10 points in one fell swoop!

Pacers head coach O'Brien immediately asked for a timeout, but he couldn't stop the crazy Timberwolves!

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Pacers 116-104 at home, and the Timberwolves won 32-23 in the first quarter and won by 9 points in a single quarter, and Zheng Ke scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, and was named the best player in a single game.

The Timberwolves took away the opponent in another wave, and it is no wonder that Yang Yi said such a sentence when he made a zuihou comment: This is a typical Timberwolves-style victory!
