Chapter 249: Steal

Zheng Ke's all-around can make the Magic team despair, he, like Hayes, is obviously very different from Howard in height, but relying on strong strength and lightning-like interception speed, Howard loses the deterrent power of interior offense.

The Timberwolves went on a 10-0 mini-high.

It was a small climax in the blink of an eye, and it was less than a minute since the last timeout for the Magic.

The momentum of the two teams on the field has changed subtly, and the players of the Timberwolves saw Zheng Ke's great power on the inside, and they suddenly lifted their spirits, and even the pace under their feet was much brisker.

"Smack!"

Brewer steals Turkoglou's dribble, grabs the basketball, and runs wildly.

He saw a white figure rush to the front, and the huge 17 allowed him to know who was in front without even thinking about it. So he shook his hands and the basketball flew out.

"It's high!"

Zheng Ke looked back, and knew that the force of the ball was a little stronger, and his body instantly rushed, and he actually accelerated his speed by another layer.

Outside the three-point line, Zheng Ke caught the basketball with his left hand, he held the basketball with his left hand, his body swayed slightly, and he quickly took three steps and rushed to the hoop.

Bend your legs, take off, dunk, land.

As simple as eating and drinking, Zheng Ke completed this dunk, and his chic posture was like a fairy in the dust, causing the maximum cheers from the target center.

The situation on the court changed abruptly, and no one thought that after the second quarter came up, under the leadership of Zheng Ke, the players of the Timberwolves became wolf-like again, especially after the middle stage. The Magic team has been pressuring the Magic team all the time, and the cheers of the fans have been rising wave after wave, and the climax of the game has continued.

At halftime. The Timberwolves outscored the Magic by seven points at 53-46. Howard didn't score a point in the second quarter, grabbed five rebounds but made four turnovers. 4 mistakes in a single quarter, this is definitely a very scary thing, Zheng Ke made a "quick and accurate move", and Howard was in pain. Correspondingly, Zheng Ke's steal data actually reached 5 times in this quarter. Coupled with 2 steals in the first quarter, Zheng Ke has completed 7 steals when he is halfway!

This is definitely a terrifying statistic, and perhaps Zheng Ke himself did not notice. But Da Van Gundy, the audience, and the commentators all noticed Zheng Ke's data.

Looking through the steal data of the NBA Finals, people are amazed. Zheng Ke has broken the individual steal data in the NBA Finals in a single quarter. Broke the NBA Finals halftime steal statistic, tying Robert Horry's individual 7 steals in a single game set in the 1995 Finals.

Great players always inadvertently complete great statistics, and Zheng Ke is the same, at this stage, he no longer cares about personal statistics, only cares about whether the team is ahead or not.

When the technician sent the data for the first half, he was still taken aback by his own data. 8-of-13 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers. He made 4 of 4 free throws and scored 21 points at halftime. Seven rebounds, five assists, seven steals and one block.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, when Zheng Ke walked out of the players' tunnel, some fans held up the slogan "Zheng Ke Finals Quadruple Doubles", which saw that the faces of the players of the Magic team were blue and their eyelids jumped.

Zheng Ke smiled indifferently, he felt that these fans in the United States were very cute, they could do everything, if they liked someone, they would show the greatest enthusiasm, and if they hated a person, they would greet the players in the most vicious language. Although he has developed into a copper skin and iron bones, he still likes the feeling of cheering for him at home.

The game starts, and the Timberwolves serve from the baseline.

After Billups advanced past half-time, he handed the ball directly to Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke is in hot form, everyone wants to see Zheng Ke win super stats, and when attacking with the ball, it is the best time to complete this greatness.

Zheng Ke turned his head and pretended to look at his teammates, and then suddenly burst out, one step past Petrus, and went straight into the heart of the magic. Turkogru, Lewis, and Howard immediately moved to trap Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke's right hand grabbed the basketball and threw it into the bottom corner, and Aflalo, who had been in ambush for a long time, immediately received it.

After being a teammate for so long, Zheng Ke knows that each teammate is the most comfortable to receive the ball, the strength of the ball, and this time the ball is passed, and it is very comfortable to ground Afflalo.

He jumped and shot without adjusting, and the basketball obediently fell into the basket.

56 to 46.

At the beginning of the second half, the Timberwolves hit a three-pointer, and the audience, who had been suspended for 15 minutes, immediately became commotionous again, whistling and applauding.

Offensive and defensive transitions, offensive opportunities for the Magic.

Zheng Ke did not play as a center in the second half, although he was a good defender when he was a center forward, but because Zheng Ke was too light, defending Howard needed to consume a lot of physical strength, and at halftime, Zheng Ke raised this question to Whitman and gave up his plan to continue to play as a center in the second half.

Seeing that Zheng Ke didn't come to the inside, Howard breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body felt a lot more comfortable.

After he got the ball, he singled "Birdman" Anderson with his back, and after hitting a little space, he chose to jump to the middle, and then threw out an awkward hook hand, the shooting angle was not good, the shooting posture was weird, and the hand felt still stiff.

The basketball bounced on the hoop a few times before falling out of the hoop.

Lefu took the rebound and made a long pass to Zheng Ke, who received the ball in the middle circle.

The Magic had long been on guard against the Timberwolves' fast break, and this return was very timely, with Nelson, Turkoglou, and Petrus all waiting inside the three-point line.

Zheng Ke charged with the ball.

Petrus blocked his front, and he immediately went around his back with his right hand, a dashing back dribble, and it looked like he was about to break to the left, and Petrus hurriedly moved his feet and body in fright. But it was too late, it was too fast, after Zheng Ke touched the basketball with his left hand, he unexpectedly dribbled behind his back for the second time, and with a wrong step, he instantly passed Petrus's defense.

There was only Turkoglu under the basket, and he didn't expect Zheng Ke, who was inferior in numbers, to choose to break through, and it was such a double back dribble that simply passed Petrus neatly. When he saw Zheng Ke gritting his teeth and rushing over with great momentum, he forgot about his defensive position, and when Zheng Ke jumped, he was still standing on the sideline of the reasonable collision zone with one foot.

Zheng Ke let out a loud shout and flew into the air with all his might, pressing Tekoglu's head with his left hand, holding the basketball high with his right hand, and smashing the ball into the basket like a mountain. Tekoglu was knocked to the ground by Zheng Ke and staggered back a few steps, then sat down in the middle of the camera division.

The referee blew the whistle at this time, and although Tekoglu was hit a little pitifully, he still blew him a blocking foul.

"! How did you do it, it's so fierce."

The Timberwolves' players were not calm, and Lefu was the first to rush over, hugged Zheng Ke, who was still playing handsome at the camera, and said something incoherently into Zheng Ke's ear. Then came Afflaro, Billups, and Anderson, and everyone gathered Zheng Ke in a circle, against his head, not knowing what to say.

The audience who let out an exclamation also reacted immediately, dancing and shouting Zheng Ke's name loudly in the seats, and then it didn't take long for the audience to start chanting "MVP".

Zheng Ke walked to the free throw line, and the voice of "MVP" became louder and louder, like a monstrous wave, deafening.

"It's too tough, Zheng Ke is the toughest leader I've ever seen." Magic Johnson sang the praises of Zheng Ke: "He will stand up wherever the team needs him." Point guard, scoring guard, small forward, power forward and even center, he played from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and he boosted the morale of the whole team in the tough offense! ”

Zheng Ke calmed down, slapped the basketball, and steadily scored the ball.

The Timberwolves led by 13 points at 59-46, and as soon as the third quarter came up, they hit the Magic with a 6-0 mini-climax.

This hurt the Magic, who felt that the Timberwolves' offense seemed to be getting harder and harder to defend, while their own offense was repeatedly blocked, which was a sign of collapse.

Fortunately, the Turks broke out at this time, and Turkoglou, who was separated by a dunk, was ashamed and braved, and made a three-pointer above Zheng Ke's head, and then assisted Howard for a dunk in the air, and Lewis hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner of the ball, pulling the Magic back from the brink of collapse with a wave of 8-0.

The difference between the two teams began to enter a see-saw time, hovering back and forth between 5 and 10 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led the Magic by 7 points at 80-73, and Zheng Ke had 31 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 8 steals by the end of the third quarter.

The call of the "MVP" of the target center is louder (to be continued......)
