Spurs won on their home turf.

In the third game between the two teams, the Spurs played a battle of their own style and rhythm with the cheering of the home fans and won the victory.

The significance of this victory is that the Spurs defeated the undefeated myth of the Timberwolves, and laid a foundation of confidence for both the military and civilian in San Antonio. At the same time, the economic significance of the Spurs' victory in this game is also quite significant, if the Timberwolves lead the Spurs 3-0 in a sweeping attitude, I am afraid that there will be many fewer people watching the game in the fourth game, and after the Spurs win the third game, the two teams seem to have a tendency to return to the same running line.

Zheng Ke's statistics in the third game were still gorgeous, with 36 points, 8 boards, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and he averaged 43.7 points per game against the Spurs.

Then came the fourth game between the two teams, which was still home to Spurs.

Before the start of the game, Spurs fans declared that the Spurs would definitely win this game. Judging from the competitive form of the last game between the two teams, the Spurs did not show much decline. At the beginning, the Timberwolves led by five points, and then the Spurs took the lead, and until the end of the game, the Spurs held a small lead. In the past decade or so, fans have been accustomed to seeing Spurs win in their home stadiums.

Not arrogant, not impatient, not in a hurry.

A few years ago, there were people who typed Zheng Ke as a defensive player, similar to an all-round fighter like Iguodala. But now Zheng Ke has won the scoring title twice, and now he will score more than 10,000 points next season, becoming the youngest Mr. 10,000 points in history.

The game with the Spurs is a good proof of Zheng Ke's scoring ability, and it is difficult to distinguish between him and Jordan. "I'm afraid this is another battle between the dragon and the tiger!" Before the game, "Magic" Johnson made a prediction about the game, guessing that the final difference between the two teams was within 5 points.

After the game began, the Timberwolves changed the conventional way of Zheng Ke's main offense in the last game and switched to Billups to command.

Billups had a sense of trance that led the Pistons against the Spurs, and he was full of emotion in his heart. Zheng Ke was freed from his position as a playmaker and threw himself into defending and scoring.

This is a relatively new way of playing for the Timberwolves. In the regular season this year, when Billups was aging, Zheng Ke organized the forwards to play well, leading the Timberwolves to an exaggerated record of 76 wins. Now Zheng Ke has been taken from this position and changed to Billups as the commander, which actually shares the pressure on Zheng Ke. "Is this really possible?" Assistant coach Thomas had a grain of salt and did not object to Thibodeau's tactics. There are no further ideas for improvement.

In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs led the Timberwolves by 2 points 24-22.

"Bobo" Vic doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the Thibodu gourd, and Zheng Ke's horror lies in his all-round skills, and organizing the ball is one of Zheng Ke's best skills.

The two teams went on for half of the game anxiously, with Zheng scoring 14 points and four rebounds tepidly, and Billups having 11 points and five assists. The two worked together to score more than half of the Timberwolves' halftime. The Timberwolves also led by a narrow one-point margin at 47-46 at halftime.

After the start of the second half, Zheng Ke began to strengthen his individual attack.

When Zheng Ke didn't get the ball, the whole stadium would be deafening boos, Zheng Ke asked himself if he had done anything to be sorry for the people of San Antonio, but he quietly became the most annoying person here.

However, this fueled his fighting spirit even more. At the beginning of the second half, he continued to attack in the low post.

In the confrontation between Jefferson and Zheng Ke, in addition to suffering from the loss of physical strength caused by Zheng Ke's strong physical confrontation (the aggressive), he also has to endure Zheng Ke's trash talk from time to time. Zheng Ke is really an opponent who destroys himself from the two levels of ** and spirit, and he is ruthless.

The Spurs fought back, and Ginobili made a three-point jumper from the outside.

Zheng then got a chance on the counterattack, dribbled to the front court, and then made a layup in the air. After dodging Duncan's defense, he hit a pull-up layup to complete a dashing goal. "It's another top 10 goal, but unfortunately you can only hear the spurs fans booing here." Zheng Ke smashed his mouth and thought to himself.

Perhaps it was Thibodeau's tactical effect, Zheng Ke was very efficient on offense in the third quarter while retaining a lot of physical strength, leading the Timberwolves to play wave after wave of shockwaves. The Spurs gradually began to fall behind in such an offensive frenzy, and then were opened up by the Timberwolves.

It's like when Zheng Ke is used to just an ordinary tactical shot at half time, and suddenly changes to a personal attack. Spurs will look uncomfortable.

Spurs started to wrap the ball and Zheng started passing.

The Timberwolves players were still feeding hot in the first half, and Billups received a pass from Zheng Ke on the outside and hit a high-arc three-pointer, and the difference between the two teams further widened.

Fans were a little incredulous, the Timberwolves led by 13 points 34-21 in the third quarter, and the total difference between the two teams actually came to 14 points.

By the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm had become perfect, Zheng Ke and Billups diverged and took turns to control the ball, and the Spurs never found a chance to play "gaochao" to overtake or tie the score. The two teams were deadlocked for half a quarter, Zheng Ke scored more than 40 points, and had already scored 26 points in the second half.

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves won 106-93 and won the match point with a total score of 3-1.

Spurs fans were disappointed that the two teams looked evenly matched at halftime before suddenly collapsing in the third quarter. Zheng Ke, who scored 47 points in the game, became the target of everyone's curse here, and he scored 33 points in the second half, breaking the record for scoring in a half game of the Timberwolves vs Spurs playoffs.

Zheng Ke's personal honor has not yet kept up, but his personal strength has been affirmed by many celebrities.

In the current series against the Spurs, Zheng Ke is averaging 44.5 points per game. And Jordan once averaged 45.2 points in the series against the Cavaliers in 1988. So after the game, the two began to be compared again, and even this Spurs and that Cavaliers team were also compared to test the gold content of the two scores.

On May 25, the two teams played their fifth game at the Target Center.

This is a life-and-death battle for the Spurs, and perhaps the last checkpoint for the Timberwolves to pry open the door to the Finals.

The Timberwolves are younger, their style of play is more ornamental, and with Zheng Ke's sometimes gorgeous and sometimes domineering performances, fans around the world far surpass the Spurs. After getting the match point 3-1, the Timberwolves' call to enter the Finals reached its peak. In this case, in addition to Texas, most fans still support the Timberwolves.

The media advocated Zheng Ke outside, and the comparison with Jordan in the past few days was also a matter of opinion.

At the beginning of the competition, TNT, ESPN and Imperial Court all sent guests to the live commentary, and they sat in the audience seats in various places. Wearing headphones, the commentary will be conducted on the spot.

After the game started, the Timberwolves played the regular way, handing over Zheng Ke to play singles in the low post.

Zheng Ke and Jordan The Timberwolves players have also seen it, Jordan is an average of 45.2 points in five games, and Zheng Ke can score more than 48 points in this game. was able to break Jordan's record for the most points in a playoff series. Therefore, the players of the Timberwolves are interested in fulfilling Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke will attack first.

The Spurs players didn't think about it so much, because Zheng Ke has played a lot of singles in the past few games, and there have been a lot of games in which he has been attacking personally since the beginning.

With his back to Jefferson, Zheng Ke leaned alone and shook it off. The left foot turned 180 degrees for the axis and hit a flowing step-back jumper.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, Zheng Ke hit a three-pointer from the outside and scored 12 points, giving the Timberwolves a two-point lead at 21-19.

Thibodeau replaced Zheng Ke, leaving Love and Billups on the field and bringing on veteran McMiller and burly and Montenegro Pekovic.

This is an unconventional substitution, and Zheng Ke would normally play the first quarter. Then the second quarter rests for half a session. If that's the substitution, then Thibodeau is sending a signal that it's likely to put Zheng Ke on the court at the beginning of the second quarter. "Bobo" Vicky's expression was solemn, thinking about the changes in the Timberwolves.

It's certain that Jefferson will be replaced at the same time, so who will be replaced?

"Bobo" vic looked at the Spurs bench and swept over the faces of different skin tones. It was finally fixed on the face of the young and slightly immature Danny Green. Danny Green was impressive in the first game and also had a great performance in the third game of the Spurs' victory, hitting multiple three-pointers from the outside. Contributing to the Spurs, his status in the heart of "Bobo" Vic has also risen rapidly.

"Danny Green came on in place of Jefferson, and the Spurs stepped up their offensive tempo, hoping to play an attacking wave and establish an advantage in Zheng's absence." Barkley narrates for the audience.

However, "Bobo" Vicky is inevitably a little wishful thinking, even if Zheng Ke leaves the game early, the Timberwolves are still strong, and they are not at all behind in the confrontation with the Spurs. At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs only led the Timberwolves by one point at 26-25, and it is not at all clear who wins and who loses.

As "Bobo" Vic expected, Zheng Ke appeared on the court at the beginning of the second quarter.

Love and Billups were rested, and the Timberwolves were more focused on the ball. The substitutes didn't compete with the boss for the ball, Zheng Ke wanted to play alone, and everyone opened up space to watch him perform.

The Spurs don't have a good strategy to deal with Zheng Ke, except for the bag and the bag, but a bag will destroy the overall defensive effect and form an empty space. Jefferson's defense could only rely on small moves to add points. Zheng Ke played Jefferson very easily, relying on strength in the low post, breaking through with speed advantage in the high post, and occasionally doing some other offensive skills, such as step-back jump shots or something, which was completely handy and natural.

At halftime, Zheng Ke scored 27 points on Jefferson's head, including two twos and ones, and Jefferson received his third personal foul in the fourth minute before halftime and was forced to go off the break.

With Zheng Ke's play alone, the Timberwolves had the upper hand in the game against the Spurs.

After the second half, Zheng Ke continued his scoring performance, in the cheers of the home fans, in the referee's discerning eyes, Zheng Ke caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs, and Jefferson received his fourth foul not long after he came up, and today he was in a foul crisis.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led the Spurs by 10 points, 81-71.

After that, in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves maintained an efficient scoring level, and Zheng Ke was in control of the whole situation on the court, and did not let the Spurs get a chance to fight back. The game went on until the end with more than 1 minute left, and the Timberwolves led by 12 points at 105-93, and "Bobo" Vic sat on the bench with his ass, knowing that the Spurs were gone and there was no hope of turning the tables.

At the end of the game, with the streamers fluttering, Zheng Ke scored 48 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, a statistic that almost ordinary stars can't get in their entire career.

The crowd stood and cheered for Zheng Ke and the Timberwolves, and the cheers of "MVP" lingered in the Target Center arena (to be continued).
