The Timberwolves' winning streak came to an abrupt end at the end of January, when Zuihou lost a game to the Lakers in January after a 13-game winning streak over the Pistons.

In that game, Zheng Ke shot 13 of 23 and scored a game-high 37 points, but the Timberwolves lost the game 119-123, Gasol and Bynum burst the Timberwolves' interior line, and the thin Anderson couldn't withstand the brutal little shark at all, Bynum scored 25 points and 12 rebounds in the game, and had a superstar addiction on the Timberwolves.

At this point, all the games in January have ended, Zheng Ke led the Timberwolves to achieve the best record in the West, playing a 13-1 record in a single month, and there is news that Zheng Ke is likely to be elected the best player of the month in the West.

The NBA 08-09 All-Star voting has closed, and the ten starters in the East and West have been decided, with Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett and Howard starting lineup in the East, and Paul, Kobe, Zheng Ke, Duncan and Yao Ming in the West.

Zheng Ke was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, starting with 23.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. The rest of the league players did not complain about "Chinese" again, Zheng Ke has played against most teams this season, everyone knows his strength, so even Xiao Si, who has always been a big mouth, is silent in the face of the media this time.

The Timberwolves have clearly fallen into a period of exhaustion since entering February, which is why many teams in Weishenme have lost streaks after winning streaks. The Timberwolves are no exception.

At the start of February, the Timberwolves lost four of their five games, narrowly beating the Pacers on the road.

Thankfully. Zheng Ke won the honor of the best player of the month in January in the West as he wished, and he became the second Chinese player of the month to win the best Chinese player of the month, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Durant and others have sent text messages to congratulate, Durant's tone is sour, although he is quite satisfied with the current growth rate of the Thunder. But for Zheng Ke, he is still very concerned about the rise of the Timberwolves, and now Zheng Ke has won the Player of the Week one step ahead of him. The best player of the month was full of emotion, and at the same time, it also stimulated his fighting spirit even more.

In the Timberwolves' home game against the Raptors, the team held a grand award ceremony for Zheng Ke to award the Western Conference Player of the Month. Zheng Ke holds the trophy of the month in one hand. Holding the microphone in one hand.

Facing the audience who applauded, he said: "I am very happy to get this trophy, this is the best interpretation of all the Timberwolves players, the hard work in January, thank you to the coach, thank you to my brothers, thank you to all the fans and friends, this trophy belongs to everyone." It should be shared with everyone! ”

After saying that, he slammed his hands and raised the trophy.

The audience at the target center immediately raised their hands in cooperation. and erupted in cheers and whistles, and even sounded the sound of "MVP", which stunned the Raptors who came from afar.

Bosh pouted: "What a." ”

"That's it," Banyani also showed a look of disdain, thinking that he was a champion, and he had never been treated like this.

"The Timberwolves have lost four of their five games recently and are not in great form, so we have a good chance of winning." Bosh's eyes gradually sharpened, now that the All-Star voting has ended, everyone is eyeing the All-Star bench, if he can lead the team to beat the Timberwolves, it will undoubtedly increase the chips in the hearts of other coaches.

The referee for this game is the famous whistle Steve Jarvey, who has a sharp eye and can always make quick decisions.

Jarvi walked into the middle circle of the basketball court with the ball, signaling the starters of both sides to walk into the basketball court, he looked at his watch, and the surrounding Jishu station personnel were also ready, and the game was about to start.

As soon as he blew his whistle, the Timberwolves vs. Raptors game officially began.

Raptors' starting lineup: point guard Jose Calderon, shooting guard Anthony Parker, small forward Joey Graham, power forward Chris Bosh, center Andre Banyani.

Anderson jumped to win possession, Billups controlled the ball across the halfcourt, Zheng Kedou came out to receive the basketball, and everyone pulled away, giving him a chance to play alone.

The cheers of the audience became louder, and the whistling liliang spread to every corner of the target center, and all the Raptors players trembled in their hearts, and there was a panic for no reason.

Zheng Ke bent down slightly, his feet bent and his knees spread, grabbed the basketball with one hand, guarded it behind his waist, and looked directly into Graham's eyes.

Some people say that Zheng Ke's appearance with the ball in one hand is the most handsome, with a special flavor and an elegant feeling, and many fans like Zheng Ke because they like him with the ball in one hand.

Zheng Ke's eyes burst into bright brilliance, and his whole body posture changed, and he stepped out in one step, instantly rushing to Graham's left side.

"So fast!" A word flashed through Graham's mind.

It's long to say, but quick to do. In the eyes of the audience, Zheng Ke passed Graham's defense in an instant, and then went straight to the inside of the Raptors, at this time, Zheng Ke only had the damn basket in his eyes.

Bosh wanted to make up for the defense, but when he saw Zheng Ke's menacing appearance, he panicked and subconsciously slowed down.

"Hoo~" The basketball shoes and the floor made a screeching rubbing sound, Zheng Ke's calf muscles tensed, and he was like a strong leopard, leaping onto the basket.

No one dared to stop him, not Bosh, not Banyani.

A flash of excitement flashed in Whitman's eyes, it's coming!

The next moment, Zheng Ke's big hand made intimate contact with the basket, "Bang! ”

The basketball went through the net, fell to the ground, and bounced to the side of the court.

"Drink!" Zheng Ke let out a soft snort and landed on the ground.

This kind of violent dunk at the beginning was too demoralizing, and the Raptors players were even speechless by Zheng Kezhen, after all, everyone saw the inaction of Bosh and Banyani just now, and even the boss didn't dare to go up, where did they still have the courage to fight?

Calderón dribbled the ball across the half court and began to organize.

Calderon is a traditional point guard, he has a good sense of the big picture, a wide field of vision, and unlike Zheng Keduo, who breaks through the ball and gets assists, most of his assists are the result of systematic organization. As the team's main point guard, he has one of the most valuable points, that is, he has very few turnovers, last season, he averaged 8.3 assists per game, but only 1.5 turnovers per game, which is very remarkable.

Calderon passes the ball to Bosh, who takes it with his back and then turns to face Lefou.

Love was waiting for him, he had done enough homework before the game to know that Bosh was a good player of the 03 generation. Although the Raptors have a poor record, Bosh, known as the Dragon King, can contribute an average of 22.7 points and 10 rebounds per game, and is one of the few players in the league who has a 20+10 record.

Bosh lifted the ball and tapped to make a feint to shoot.

Lefu saw through his feints and was unmoved.

Then Bosh tapped it again, and this time, Lefu stepped forward with a slight shift in his center of gravity, and he thought that the second time Bosh would actually throw it.

But Bosh still used the feint, he was short, the cat waist slapped the ball twice, and cut into the Timberwolves' inside line in an instant! The speed is very fast, not like a big forward at all, but like a small forward.

Anderson saw the moment and jumped to block Bosh.

Bosh grabbed the ball in the air and dodged with a small lever to avoid Anderson's big hand and hit the board to score the ball. 2 to 2.

It's really a rare cut-in inside line, and this kind of jishu action is clearly the housekeeping skill of the outside player. In fact, Zheng Ke often thinks about something, he believes that whether it is the big center learning the jishu movement of the guard, or the defender learning the jishu movement of the inside line, they will improve their strength in their respective positions. For example, Bosh who is extremely strong in possession of the ball, such as Wade, who throws first-class Wade with hook hands.

Offense and defense rotate, and the Timberwolves attack.

The ball was in Zheng Ke's hands, and Graham stuck to it tighter this time, but Zheng Ke was not afraid of this level of close defense, and the huge liliang contained in his body was his biggest killer weapon to break this tight defense. I saw him with his back and his butt pouting, hitting Graham's abdomen, and suddenly the two opened up a little space.

"Hey!"

This kind of physical contact is normal, and the reason why there is this effect is really because the difference between the two is too big. Zheng Ke smiled in his heart, his left foot was the axis, his right hand pulled the ball, and his body rotated, bypassing Graham's defense, and breaking through directly to the left bottom line.

"Drink!"

Zheng Ke's left foot exploded with an astonishing liliang, stomped on the floor, and then the whole person leaned back to the left.

Damn! Graham was atmospheric, when he reached out to pounce, Zheng Ke had already thrown the ball, although it seemed that he was very well defended on the field, but as long as the insider knew that he was actually one step behind.

"Huh!"

"Can you cover me?" Zheng Ke grinned, but his expression was full of arrogance and domineering (to be continued......)
