Chapter 175: A Blood in 09
Zheng Ke was dumbfounded on the side, he can also make this kind of big tie rod, but he feels that he can't do what Ross wants, this champion Lang really has a hand!
Billups's face was a little unsightly, the young man was too disrespectful to the elderly, how could he not give face like this, especially thinking that he had told Zheng Ke before the game that there was no problem at all, Billups couldn't help but secretly complain: This old face is all lost.
The score was 2-2.
Rose's ability value is indeed the highest among the rookies Zheng Ke has ever seen.
Among the rookies of this year, Rose's ability value has reached 83, which is just one step away from the All-Star, and then the rookie who ranks second in terms of ability value is not Mayo, who averages nearly 20 points per game, nor Lefou, who averages two double-doubles per game, but in Beasley, who is far away in Miami, Zheng Ke detected that Beasley's ability value is also 81, as for the weishenme data is not obvious, only he knows.
As for the rest of the rookies, Lefou's ability value is 79, Westbrook and Mayo are both 78 ability values, and the remaining Gallinari, Brook Lopez and others also have more than 70 ability values.
As a result, the players in the 08 draft have very good on-court statistics, and the slightly inferior Beasley has an average of 13.8 points per game, which is much better than Zheng Ke in last year's rookie season.
Of course, these rookie stats are good, but the records of their respective teams are mediocre.
The most haode are Lefu and Rose. The two of them are in seventh place in the East and West respectively, and they can barely be regarded as powerhouses.
But now, this "powerhouse" in the east is in trouble.
Rose is limited by Billups!
Except for the amazing big lever at the beginning. Rose didn't even hit another goal! Although he can break through, he can't completely get rid of Billups, who is often forced to deviate from the offensive direction, and several strong attacks, all of which are missed, and the Bulls are also in a stalemate.
Del Negro (Bulls head coach) tried to call a couple of timeouts, but it didn't have much effect. He remembered that he was an assistant coach with the Suns. In the Spurs' days as scouts, the Timberwolves' offense was a bit of a hybrid of the two, with some bombardment at times. Sometimes they will play decently and do some internal and external coordination.
At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by 6 points at 23-17, and Zheng Ke was tepid in the first quarter. Played for 8 minutes. Scored 4 points and 1 rebound.
Whitman played a trick.
According to common sense, Zheng Ke should play the first quarter, then take a break in the first half of the second quarter, and play again in the second half. But today, Whitman saw that the Bulls were restrained by the Timberwolves, so he let Zheng Hack off the court early and replaced Brewer as the No. 3 position.
In the second quarter, Zheng Ke came off the bench. Negro was shocked.
"Old fox," Negro's teeth tickled. It's not that he didn't notice Zheng Ke's fate in the first quarter, but he thought Whitman would put Zheng Ke on the court early in the second quarter, but he never thought that it would be so early. No wonder Zheng Ke was tepid throughout the first quarter, it turned out to be to retain physical strength.
The Bulls' backup small forward is Andres Nocinho, a player who is not well-known, but if you talk about nationality, you can think of him, he is from Argentina. That's right, Nosinho is Argentina's national player, and he won the Olympic gold medal with the team as a main player in '04.
He has all the defensive skills of all South American basketball players, which is to make a lot of small moves and fake falls that can trick people at any time. But at the same time, he is constrained by his slow footwork, and he is often blown up in the face of the league's pendulum swingman.
Whitman has the courage to make this change, and the important reason is that Zheng Ke promised him that he could completely destroy Nocinho.
Zheng Ke held the ball at 45 degrees, and all the players opened up space for him, and the court suddenly became empty.
The bow, the stride, the change of direction, the simple change of direction in advance, but in Zheng Ke's hands became a big killer, in an instant he rushed to Nocinho's side, the two staggered face to face, Nosinho could even see Zheng Ke's black and white eyes, the flickering hint of teasing.
Nocinho held out his hand, and he decided that he would rather foul than hold Zheng Ke.
However, his outstretched fingers only grabbed a cloud of air.
After two steps, Zheng Ke immediately made an emergency stop, leaned forward slightly, and gently pulled out the basketball.
"Huh!"
The spinning basketball scurried through the net, and the huge force that pierced through it turned up snow-white nets.
25 to 17.
Zheng Ke told Negro that any luck was unacceptable. Nocinho is not good at defending speed players, and Zheng Ke is precisely the player with peak speed on the front line, Zheng Ke is the type that Nocinho is most afraid of.
Two and a half minutes later, Negro called a timeout, and Zheng came up in the second quarter and shot 3 of 4, all of which were pull-up jumpers, almost the same as usual training, which greatly damaged the morale of the Bulls.
The Timberwolves already had an 11-point lead at 31-20 by this time.
Negro had to replace Rose and other main players in advance.
Zheng Ke turned his head to look at Whitman, who made him sign language in jihua.
He nodded quietly, and when no one was looking, he suddenly switched places with Lowry.
"This is the point guard position!" Negro was puzzled, but immediately, his face changed, Zheng Ke defended Rose! Negro never thought Rose could be prevented, but that was a few years later, and now he was going to face the league's top defenders, and Negro was sweating for Rose.
Sure enough, Zheng Ke's blockade defender was not in vain, and Rose's offense immediately continued to sink into the quagmire, with an extremely low shooting percentage and a small throw that had always been invincible lost his crosshairs. The Bulls were suppressed by Zheng Ke with a bunch of substitutes!
No one can understand Negro's feelings, he now feels that he is at the bottom of his lungs, as if the strength of the Timberwolves has completely suppressed the Bulls, how is this possible, obviously both teams are seventh in their respective divisions, there is no reason for such a big gap. And the Timberwolves' always criticized defense, Nigro didn't see anything wrong, at least the tattooed birdman on the opposite side had already sent two blocks in the first quarter.
This is a kind of torment, the difference is not opened up for a moment, but it is always getting bigger. It was like committing suicide by slitting his wrists, and the thought came to Negro's mind, draining all the blood in his body little by little, and draining all the momentum of the bull little by little.
In the second half of the second quarter, Billups and other main players all changed to the court, and Zheng Ke had led the Timberwolves to score 40 points, while the Bulls only had a pitiful 26 points, and the difference between the two had reached 14 points.
At halftime, Zheng Ke scored 13 points and three rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, and the Timberwolves led the Bulls by 16 points at 48-32.
Rose had an ugly face, he took 13 shots in the first half, but only hit 3 balls, he also tried some outside dry pulls, but he was outrageous, he wanted to prove himself before the game, but he didn't expect to be bloodied by others. He was a little discouraged, but then he regained his fighting spirit, and others could defeat him, but no one could knock him down!
In the second half, Rose's offense was even more furious, and Billups struggled a little bit to defend the ground. Rose's shooting percentage began to pick up and he hit some shots as well, helping the Bulls get back on their feet.
But the hole dug in the first two quarters was a little bigger, and at the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves still led the Bulls by 12 points.
A few minutes passed quickly, and by the time Zuihou reached 3 minutes, Negro replaced all the main forces and finally announced that he had surrendered.
In this game, Zheng Ke scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and was rated as the best in the game.
The reporter interviewed Zheng Ke after the game: "Congratulations on your first victory in 2009, how do you feel? ”
"It feels great," Zheng Ke said cautiously, the media has been in the wrong direction recently, after a certain newspaper spread the news of his affair with Christine and became a big hit, the news of his scandal with countless female singers and actresses popped up overnight, and he is now eager to kill these rumor-mongering media, but it's just a thought.
"We had a good pace today, Chauncey (Billups) defended Derrick well, Kevin (Love) grabbed a lot of rebounds and guaranteed our victory, he was an important member of our team, we were able to rush to the top eight in the West, he was indispensable."
In response, Zheng Ke did not forget to advertise for his little brother, he told reporters that if he had the right to vote for the best rookie, he would definitely vote for his teammate Kevin Love.
Zheng Ke said that he has always been virtuous and does not shy away from relatives. (To be continued......)
