Chapter 311: Action
The Timberwolves were very passive, facing the Spurs bench lineup led by Ginobili, and there was a feeling of powerlessness, as if all the moves were hidden in front of them.
Every time the Timberwolves offense seems extremely difficult, especially after Zheng Ke is off the court, this is even more magnified. Even with a breakthrough player like Iverson, the Timberwolves still found it difficult to tear apart the Spurs' defense, and even were choked by the Spurs, and the situation became extremely passive.
"Whew~"
With a heavy exhalation, Ginobili leaned over to break through Mike Miller, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the Timberwolves' interior.
"Don't think!"
Under the basket, little Jordan's eyes widened angrily, he shouted, and rose from the ground.
There was a strange smile on the corner of Ginobili's mouth, and his body in the air was forcibly twisted, with his back to Jordan Jr., holding the basketball in his left hand and wrapping it around Jordan Jr.'s side, and then passing it to DeJuan Blair who was empty under the basket like magic.
The black-tower-like man took Ginobili's pass, played a time difference, and dunked directly. And at this time, little Jordan was just beginning to land.
"."
Little Jordan muttered, feeling that the guy in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him, was simply weird, not only the weirdness of the breakthrough route, the weirdness of the layup action, but even this pass was also his style, very weird. Let people deduct one behind his back, little Jordan is very unhappy, he is a person who aspires to be the best defensive player!
The Timberwolves' bench lineup is led by Iverson, and Whitman's tactics are also tailored to Iverson. In addition to not being a starter, he has no less power in the second team than Ginobili.
Although Iverson still has a lot of injuries in the regular season this year, it is much better than the previous two years. Plus the Timberwolves give him plenty of respect. The medical equipment is not bad, and even as the playoffs approach, Iverson feels very good.
His pace is not as fast as it was at his peak, but the tempo is getting better and better, and against the Spurs' young guard George Hill, Iverson plays without arrogance or impatience.
The substitutions of the two teams engaged in a fierce battle. By the time Zheng came on, the Spurs had a four-point lead at 36-32.
"Well done, well done!"
Zheng Ke and his teammates who were replaced on the field high-fived and hugged one by one. In this way, he boosted the morale of the players and eliminated some of the impetuousness of the Timberwolves.
Zheng Ke's play made the Timberwolves gradually steady.
Facing Jefferson, who followed him on the court, Zheng Ke came up and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc. The arc is flat and the ball speed is fast. When smashed into the basket, there is a "bang" sound.
Popovich, who was on the Spurs bench, shook his head at this. His face changed slightly, and finally turned into a long sigh. As the head coach of the team, he can be said to have calculated everything, but superstars can't be measured by common sense, and if he is really defeated by Zheng Ke like this, he has nothing to say.
Although the Timberwolves are at a disadvantage, Zheng Ke's hand is really good, after the second quarter. His barrage of individual attacks worked very well, including a couple of kills as he burst inside. It caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs, so the score was also very close.
By halftime, the Timberwolves had a two-point lead over the Spurs at 48-46.
Zheng Ke became the player of the half and he gave an interview to an ESPN reporter.
"You guys seemed to struggle a bit in the first half for a while, and the Spurs' defense looked like it was causing you a lot of problems," the reporter asked. ”
"Well, that's true. But we reacted right away and the Spurs defended with a lot of layering, but we played more aggressively and we got a lot of free throws in the first half, which should be carried forward. Zheng Ke lowered his head and said slowly.
"You looked good from beyond the three-point line in the first half, making two shots and two shots. Did you plan to shoot more in the second half? ”
Zheng Ke smiled and replied: "This kind of situation depends on the second half." If the opportunity arises, I will resolutely take action. The first half hit well because of my determination"
Lake Minnetonka.
Zheng Ke's residence.
Taylor coaxed Xiao Zheng Shuang to sleep secretly, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she got up secretly. Quietly closed the door, walked into the living room, and turned on the TV.
"What's the intermission?" Taylor looked at the clock and puffed out his cheeks.
She originally wanted to accompany Zheng Ke to participate in the competition, but Zheng Ke felt that the scene was too noisy, and Xiao Zheng Shuang couldn't let the nanny take care of it, so he vetoed Taylor's proposal.
Taylor lay bored on the couch, watching the TV flash, looking up at the clock, and counting the time when Zheng Ke would return.
"It's going to take two hours!"
Thinking of Zheng Ke, Taylor's jade face couldn't help but show a touching smile. She laughed stupidly twice, and then remembered everything she and Zheng Ke had lived in the past few years, as if in a dream.
At first, Zheng Ke was just a third-rate player, only a little famous near the Minnesota area, and when the two got together, it was like fate to fall in love. And she didn't have much fame at the beginning, she could only be said to be a potential country music singer, remembering the appearance of her agent raising eyebrows against the two, Taylor couldn't help but laugh.
Later, Zheng Ke became famous, and even with her, he gradually became famous, although she was unexpectedly pregnant, but with her excellent album and Zheng Ke's momentum, she gradually stepped into the ranks of first-class singers in the music world. It's simply a violation of the law that children in the entertainment industry are not popular.
Now that Zheng Ke's worth has doubled, coupled with his inexplicable relationship with the entertainment industry, there are so many people who have come to invite him to make records, make movies, and participate in variety shows. Two days ago, I heard Schwartz say that after the end of the season, Zheng Ke is ready to start making his own documentary, and the story will start from Zheng Ke when he was a child.
Taylor's mind was like a movie. I can't help but be a little stupid
In the third quarter, the swing guard is not easy to provoke, and this is not true at all.
After the start of the second half, the Timberwolves' offense became fierce. Encouraged by Whitman, the rookies' mentality gradually became normal. Coupled with the encouragement of the white jersey of the whole game, the Timberwolves broke out wave after wave of passion, Zheng Ke and Gibson staged violent dunks repeatedly.
However, the spurs are like a reef in the stormy seas, let you be stormy, and I will not move.
Zheng Ke scored 13 points in a single quarter, but the Spurs still bit the score. At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves had a three-point lead of just 73-70.
There is a way that is a blow, and then declines. Three and exhaustion.
There is always a moment when the Timberwolves' offense slows down, and the opportunity came at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In the matchup of the rotation lineup, the Timberwolves did not have the crazy momentum of the third quarter, and the Spurs immediately found an opportunity to catch their breath. And launched a sharp counteroffensive.
The Popovichs are old. The same is true for the Spurs players, whose outburst at this moment is close to the Timberwolves.
On an 8-0 run, the Spurs stopped the Timberwolves.
"It's going to be hard for the Timberwolves right now." Yu Jia, the host of the imperial court station, looked worried, and couldn't help but lean towards the timberwolves.
Yang Yi didn't notice it, and the two unconsciously completely sided with the Timberwolves: "The Spurs' offense has been playing very smoothly during this time, blocking and dismantling, and breaking points after blocking and dismantling. The Timberwolves have missed two open spots in a row, and Coach Whitman has to hurry up and figure out a way. ”
What's the solution. What's the best way to do it? Coach Whitman, who had high hopes from the two of them, was sweating profusely at the moment, and although he called a timeout, his brain was like a machine with no power at the moment, and it didn't work at all. Reflexes on the spot have never been his specialty, and in the face of Popovich, he was under so much pressure that he actually short-circuited at this moment
The players blinked and waited for a long time.
Whitman's neck turned red and said, "Zheng, you go on the court in advance, the Spurs are attacking a little fiercely during this time." ”
It was like opening up the conversation and he paused and continued to his players: "We have to be aggressive and not leak at this time. The Spurs' pick-and-roll is mostly initiated by Parker, and we need to be forced by him to carry the ball and not let him easily find opportunities to break inside."
Zheng Ke frowned, listening to Whitman's old-fashioned words, and for the first time he felt dissatisfied with him. But in a flash, he silently took off his jacket, revealing his No. 17 jersey, lowered his head, and checked the equipment on his body.
At the end of the timeout, Zheng Ke, who had rested for more than a minute, returned to the court.
Firm eyes, wide jerseys, tight and slender calves, black and mysterious sneakers, and bulging muscles, two dragon arms that look full of strength, wearing black arm guards, Zheng Ke looks like a star at the moment.
Tiger body ape arms, belly and wolf waist.
The moment Zheng Ke stepped on the court, it was like a stone thrown from boiling water, and the newly dull target center immediately cheered, as if he had seen a savior.
"Attack!"
Zheng Ke advanced with the ball and quickly passed the half.
Superman's first-class arm span makes Zheng Ke's crotch dribble look like heaven and man, and his continuous crotch dribbling does not give the slightest feeling of being stiff, as if it should have been dribbling like this.
With a slight shake of his shoulders, Zheng Ke confused Ginobili's judgment.
Like a bull, Zheng Ke turned around, dribbled the ball behind his back to his left hand, found the gap in Billups' defense, and forced it to hit it in an instant.
Billups snorted and took a small step out of the way.
"Chance!"
Zheng Ke's eyes lit up, and he rushed into the Spurs formation in an instant. He didn't rush far, and after dribbling diagonally for a few steps, he turned around and made a backward jumper, which included the stop-and-go jumper, backward jumper and drift jumper, which was not easy. Zheng Ke threw this trick, obviously learning from Iverson for a long time, and as soon as he used it at this moment, he was immediately shocked, and he felt that his movements were extremely elegant (to be continued......
