Chapter 382: Intense
Lefu is in big trouble again. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test
Since he developed a muscle that is not inferior to that of blacks, his confrontation ability has been greatly enhanced, but when he encounters a guard like Nowitzki, who can be called a big forward, only shooting on the outside, it has already made it difficult for Love to take advantage of himself. It's not the first time the two have played against each other, but every time, Lefu finds this guy very difficult.
Back and forth, Nowitzki didn't have many moves, and he also knew that Lefou's chassis was very stable, his strength was excellent, and the success rate of hard eating was not high, so this move to the bone fell back and the jumper became Nowitzki's most conventional means of dealing with Lefou.
So far, it's working well.
The two teams have played each other many times since Zheng Ke entered the NBA. Things are not people, the Mavericks have undergone changes, and the Timberwolves have also undergone changes, but what remains unchanged is the core of the two teams, old acquaintances, and old opponents
In the first quarter, Nowitzki scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, and Zheng Ke scored 7 points on 2-of-4 shooting, with Nowitzki slightly ahead.
"The Mavericks are really a lot better than the Grizzlies!" After returning to the bench, Love sighed that Nowitzki was much more difficult to defend against than Randolph.
Zheng Ke shook his head with a smile and said, "There is not much difference, right? In the last round of the series, Randolph was an eye-catching performer. That dead fat guy hits mid-range jumpers on your head. Now with Dirk Nowitzki, this guy is more accurate, his shooting is not dead, his range is surpassing, and his defense is the key to winning or losing this series. ”
"Bang Bang Bang"
Thomas applauded, sat down next to Zheng Ke and Lefou, and said, "Zheng is right, defending Nowitzki well is related to the victory of this series. But it's not just the job of Lefou, you all have a share. Want to beat the Mavericks, want to defend Nowitzki. Bag clip, assistance defense is essential! ”
As Thomas spoke, Lefu and Zheng Ke nodded frequently.
On the field, Jason Terry, who won the Sixth Man of the Year this year, was leading a group of substitutes to fight. It is not inferior to the bench team of the Timberwolves, who are known as bench bandits.
The scores of both teams rose quickly. Midway through the second quarter, the Timberwolves and Mavericks combined for 80 points. The Timberwolves scored 41 points and the Mavericks 39.
In such a game with imminent scores, the audience was enthusiastic.
Floating in the arena was a snow-white jersey of Timberwolves players wearing white home team uniforms. In the cheering of the audience, the state began to be hot.
First, Billups gave Zheng Ke a sudden point, and Zheng Ke hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner to open up a 5-point difference.
Immediately after that, Kidd missed a jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Pekovic. He handed it to Lowry, who gave it to Billups, who took two quick steps to do it. Send the ball straight across the half court!
The fast-advancing Zheng Ke was like a timberwolf scurrying out, he was short, burst out of his physical strength, and then leaped to his feet. Catch your prey in the air with precision and complete the snipe!
"Boom!"
The basketball hoop in the target center arena shook for a while, and Zheng Ke, who was more than 200 pounds, coupled with unparalleled strength, gave the audience a huge impact on his domineering spirit.
Zheng Ke scored five points in a row, and the Timberwolves instantly led by seven points at 46-39.
Startled, the Carlisle head coach got up from the bench in a flaming motion and gestured to the referee for a timeout, and the Mavericks asked for a timeout.
The calf was stopped in the air, and the audience sent the warmest applause and cheers.
Zheng Ke walked off the court, and Jordan who greeted him, and made a celebratory action of air collision with understanding, and the Timberwolves players were full of joy and took the initiative on the court, which made everyone's pressure a lot less
The timeout ends, and the Mavericks have the ball.
Marion serves from the sideline, and Zheng Ke waves in front of him with his long arms outstretched.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Marion's head, looking at Zheng Ke who was waving his long arms, and he couldn't help complaining: "They all say I'm a gibbon, but this guy's arm span is not bad." ”
Zheng Ke is 2.03 meters tall and has an arm span of about 2.18 meters, which cannot be compared with a monster like Durant, who is two meters 30 meters, but in the NBA, it is already extremely good. But no one has ever said that Zheng Ke is a long-armed monster, because Zheng Ke as a whole looks like that pair of long arms are not abrupt, and it feels just right.
The basketball was given to Kidd, who came out to catch the ball, and Marion turned his head and cut under the basket.
Zheng Ke followed, Marion was not fast, the confrontation was very strong, although he had been blocked by Chandler, but under Zheng Ke's speed advantage, Kidd still did not rush to send a pass in advance.
Kidd didn't give Marion to the empty cut, but to Terry, who came out on the right side.
Terry received the ball and turned to shoot, and the action was sudden.
Billups' big hand was tightly defended, and the basketball slashed through the air before falling on the hoop and bouncing off the rebound.
"My ball!"
Under the basketball hoop, Zheng Ke, who happened to come over, jumped up and took the rebound.
"It's coming!"
As soon as Zheng received the basketball, he turned and sent it forward, and then he strode to catch up, and his movement was as proficient as Nowitzki's step-back jumper.
The power of the Timberwolves' fast break under Zheng Ke's control of the ball was amazing, and the Mavericks veterans led by Kidd secretly shouted "Not good!" Then he turned his head and let go of his old legs and began to retreat.
Dribbling the ball and shuttling past the stunned Chandler, Zheng Ke surpassed the Mavericks in a blink of an eye!
His speed was very impressive, and Kidd, who was retreating, was helpless and stepped forward to rush to pull him down.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Ke broke out violently, hugged the basketball directly on the three-point line, and then rushed to the basket like a cannonball despite Kidd, who grabbed his waist.
Kidd couldn't help but let go, and after the whistle blew, Zheng Keqiang took a third step and rounded his arm.
With a "clang", Zheng Ke split the tomahawk with his side hand.
The referee stretched out two fingers downward, declared the two points valid, and blew for a Kidd foul, signaling Zheng Ke to add a free throw!
It's a two-plus-one, and the center of the target is boiling
In the replay, Zheng Ke's dragon speed is very amazing, and his strong body allows him to be unafraid of Kidd's pull, Kidd's waist is a wrong choice, and in this case, he should grab his clothes directly. And Zheng Ke is indeed tough enough. The bulldozer-style layup in this dragon is clearly James' most commonly used method.
The free throw shot, the Timberwolves 49-39, turned out to be a wave of 8-0 small **.
Carlisle was furious. Even the experienced Kidd made such a low-level mistake. It really shouldn't. His timeout not only failed to help the Mavericks gain a foothold, but instead made the Timberwolves even more ferocious. Now that the heat is rolling around him, he can clearly feel that it is the strongest passion from Minnesota.
The Timberwolves are on the rise
After the Timberwolves, the style of play became wilder. The temperament of the bandit legion is exposed.
In the defense, small actions began to increase. Seeing that he couldn't stop Nowitzki, Lefu smashed Novitsky's hand with a ruthless hand, and then castrated and hit Novitsky in the face!
Lefou, he swears, he doesn't think it was meant to
However, the score behind and Lefou's move is really big. made the "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler on the side unable to hold back, and stepped forward to crack trash talk at Lefou.
Naturally, Lefu was not to be outdone, and the two bumped into each other chest-to-chest during non-game time, looking like they were going to fight.
The calm players of both teams came up and pulled the two apart. The three referees were also very vigilant, blowing their whistles, and running to the middle of the two who had opened up the distance, but were still swearing, and then in the boos of the audience, each gave a technical foul, which was considered a fifty boards each.
A skirmish, not a big deal, Nowitzki covered his aching face and stepped up to the free throw line to make a free throw.
First penalty, deflected!
On the second free throw, the basketball arced slightly higher and smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced, and Pekovic grabbed the rebound.
"Kevin, this kid is black enough!" Thomas looked at the free throw shooting rate of nearly 90 percent, Nowitzki missed two free throws, said happily, and then jokingly said to Thibodeau: "Do you say that every person named Kevin has a little darkness in his bones?" ”
Thibodeau said, "You mean Garnett?" When you were in the Celtics, you said he was dark enough. ”
Thomas smiled and said, "I didn't say anything about him, and I don't know who taught him defense, and I never taught him that anyway." ”
"Those?"
"It's what Lefu is doing now, you see how perfect the force, angle and movement of that hand are. After smashing the German in the face, facing the referee's slightly frowning brows and spreading his hands, his acting skills are too superb! Thomas and Thibodeau said.
Thibodeau's face darkened, pretending not to hear.
And after experiencing this on the field, the movements of the people on both sides are greater. Marion, Kidd, Zheng Ke, Billups, which of these are not old fritters, have a lot of experience. The referee's whistle can only balance the psychology of the players on the field, and in the face of an increasingly hot game, they can only guide the right development, and at the same time look forward to entering the half-time break as soon as possible.
"Toot ~~~"
"Huh!"
When the red light came on at halftime, Kidd Sr. hit a long-range three-pointer one step beyond the three-point line, which lifted the spirits of the somewhat depressed Mavericks and felt like they had hit the jackpot.
At this time, the Timberwolves led the Mavericks by 8 points 57-49.
Zheng Ke scored a regular 17 points, five rebounds and four assists in this half, and according to the trend in the second half of the regular season, it was another triple-double game, and Zheng Ke will easily break 30 points in the end.
He became an interview guest before the half of the ESPN, and the big-breasted girl shook her huge chest and held her eyes to interview Zheng Ke.
"The Timberwolves seem to have maintained a good firepower output in the first half, shooting 5 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, which is more accurate than the Mavericks, who have the most ferocious three-point firepower in the regular season.
Zheng Ke thought that the questions asked by the big-breasted girl were getting worse and worse, but with a smile on his mouth, he said: "No, the Timberwolves are a team that combines inside and outside. Our tactics are also more balanced, the Mavericks have excellent defense, but they haven't forced us to shoot outside at the same level, we have a lot of good breakers, Kyle, Marcus, Chauncey, Aaron and so on. ”
