Chapter 357
With only three minutes left, the Ford Center fell into an eerie silence.
The Thunder called two timeouts in succession, but there was nothing they could do about Zheng Ke, who was like a tiger out of the gate.
Jeff Green and Durant looked at each other, at this time they really knocked over the five-flavor bottle in their hearts, there were all kinds of tastes, shame was greater than anger, helplessness was greater than pain.
In just 3 minutes, Zheng Ke scored 15 points in a row, not only breaking the 50-point mark, but also helping the Timberwolves surpass the Thunder by 6 points 114-108.
After a timeout, Zheng Ke was surrounded by the Timberwolves. "Well done." "Well done."
Zheng Ke's performance they all saw in their eyes, and they were majestic on the court, even if they sat off the court, they still felt hot and passionate in their hearts.
Thibodeau crossed his waist and smiled, this effect was really unexpected to him, why not come a few more times in the future?
If Zheng Ke had known that Thibodeau had won this idea, maybe he wouldn't have exploded so much just now, and he was still counting on using this good state to prove that he was not affected by physical strength at all!
The Thunder fans were tenacious, and after the timeout, the Thunder fans resounded with deafening cheers. "Take out the timberwolves, take out the timberwolves"
Their unique cheering sound has indeed erected a different landscape in the NBA, and it is more shocking than the traditional roar of "offense, defense".
It's a pity that for a superstar like Zheng Ke, who has absolutely excellent psychological qualities, the effect is very small.
Zheng Ke attacked with the ball on the outside, booed, took a step, and then Lefu blocked and dismantled.
He immediately attracted the duo of Durant and Jeff Green, who at one point pushed him 45 degrees beyond the three-point line, making him completely unable to rush at all.
Zheng Ke's heart moved, and his right hand holding the ball wrapped around his back like a boneless joint, and then made a back-to-back pass that was extremely hidden.
The orange basketball turned into a yellow light. The ground bounced off and passed into Lefou's hands.
Love dribbles forward and makes a mid-range jumper.
"Huh!"
"Kevin, it's definitely not a reasonable choice to let Kevin go!" Zheng Ke smiled and joked with Durant.
Where does Durant still pay attention to Zheng Ke's trash talk. After this goal, the Thunder were already eight points behind, and the time had entered 3 minutes, leaving them with a slim chance of victory.
The chances are slim, and the more you fight, the more urgent you become.
Westbrook rushed inside and the layup was blocked by Jordan Jr.
Durant barely drew a foul on Afflalo, only to find that the number of fouls had not reached four. After re-serving, he pulls a three-pointer from the outside. The helpless offensive choice, fortunately, hit, and hung the last breath of the thunder.
Zheng Ke broke out of the three-point line and Billups. Billups jumper, basketball misses.
But the rebound was taken by Love, who gave it to Billups. Billups was in no hurry at this point, and waited slowly outside the three-point line for the time to pass.
Within 2 minutes, Billups gave Afflalo. Afflaro directs to Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke dribbled the ball in a cross-step step, and before the bag came, he suddenly pulled out a jumper.
Again!
Jeff Green covered Zheng's face, but Zhengke still hit a hollow ball, and the rolling waves proved how hot his hand was.
Every time fans think that this time they should not score, but Zheng Ke was able to score.
55 points. The Timberwolves lead by seven points.
That's not enough to make the Thunder give up. This season, fans at the home of Ford Center have repeatedly witnessed the Thunder trail by many points in the final moments but then came back from behind, and Durant's scoring efficiency in the final moments has been talked about by all fans this season.
He did it, hitting another 3-pointer at 1:27 to help the Thunder trail by just four points at 114-118.
"Is it going to be reversed? Do you want to kill it? ”
It was the first reaction of all Thunder fans watching the game until the final moments, and they clasped their hands together. Looking forward to this happening.
"Bang bang, bang bang"
Zheng Ke skillfully dribbled the ball from beyond the three-point line, and then was immediately turned around again and leaned back towards Jeff Green. Durant in the back came from the weak side, and Billups immediately gave a reminder in the distance.
So Zheng Ke had eyes in the back of his head. Give the ball to Billups early.
As soon as Durant left, Billups handed the ball to Zheng Ke, who was deep in formation, and the two seemed to be playing hide and seek.
But this time, Zheng Ke, who got the basketball, suddenly started, and one and a half turned around and pretended to break counterclockwise.
But when Jeff Green's center of gravity moved, he turned clockwise, Jeff Green pounced, and he changed direction in front of his body with his hand, and switched to his right hand and slipped towards the bottom line.
This time, the Thunder were already on the court with a good performance today, and he grabbed a Thunder-high 10 rebounds.
Ibaka calculated the position in advance and faintly blocked Zheng Ke's breakthrough route.
Zheng Ke was not in a hurry, with strange steps under his feet, and a strange aura was revealed in his writhing body. Dribbling with his right hand and taking a small step on the right side of his right foot, it seems that he has identified a way to the bottom line.
Ibaka was more conscious than analytic at this point, and her body responded with a lateral shift to the right.
Zheng Ke suddenly turned around, took a big step on the left side of his left foot, took the axis of the trend, rotated with his right foot, held the ball with both hands, and the whole person turned over Ibaka's body like a spinning top, with a large amplitude and a fast speed.
Zheng Ke turned his right foot to the ground, and his sneaker stepped on the floor, making a harsh grinding sound.
Then the body soared like a dragon, and he picked up the basketball in both hands and put it behind his head.
"Bang!"
Zheng Ke's outstretched hands just touched the basket, the flat hands showed his amazing arm span, his head easily exceeded the basket in the air, his line of sight was almost level with the basket, and the last burst of power was as if someone was using an axe to chisel a mountain.
People looked at the basketball hoop that was still shaking and was silent for a long time
At the last moment of the game, Zheng Ke actually scored such a beautiful goal, and the moment this goal happened, people can conclude that it must be the top three goals of today's top ten goals, or if the stunner and the like are counted.
Timberwolves players are waving towels, and Thunder fans are covering their heads; Brooksto's chin is raised, and Thibodeau is on his hips with his hands; Photographers open their mouths wide and keep pressing their index fingers on the shutter. DJ stopped the music operation, and a song actually played on a loop; Zheng Ke's wonderful goal froze the scenes one by one, as if time stood still at this moment.
The Thunder team who came back to their senses. Still a little lost.
Except for Westbrook, who was nervous enough to be silent, but at this moment he became the bravest player, holding the ball and facing Billups, changing direction, regardless of whether he shook Billups or not, and rushed inside.
The two collided with small muscles outside the three-point line, allowing Westbrook to gain the upper hand after the three-point line, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rushed into the Timberwolves inside.
"Bang!" "Huh!"
Hit the board, score a goal.
He was carrying little Jordan. Twisting his waist to score such a goal, he rolled into a group of camera divisions under the basket like a rolling gourd.
In 1 minute, the Thunder trailed by 4 points, 116-120.
"It's tenacious." At this moment, Zheng Ke, as an opponent, also has to admit what a tough opponent the Thunder team is. But he didn't know. This is how the Timberwolves were praised by the Lakers, Rockets and Spurs.
It was a heart-wrenching offensive battle, the fiercest and most direct collision of the Young Guards.
In 46 seconds, Zheng Ke scored the basket and Lefou. Lefu gets up and punches Ibaka and is blocked by Ibaka.
In 31 seconds, the ball quickly advanced to the basket Westbrook and distributed the ball to Harden on the outside. Harden was in an open position, but hesitated for a second, and this hesitation gave him no chance to attack. He gave it to Durant, who came later, and Durant suddenly got up and shot a three-point jumper one meter away from Zheng Ke and one step outside the three-point line.
Looking at the corners of Durant's slightly raised mouth. Zheng Ke chuckled in his heart, feeling a little bad.
But he overthought it, and Durant was a little overconfident, and the basketball rolled a few laps on the hoop before a sigh in the Ford Center. Get out.
"Scare Lao Tzu!"
Watching Lefu grab the rebound, Zheng Ke wiped a handful of sweat.
Timberwolves take a timeout.
In the final moments like this, there are always a lot of timeouts, and in order to ensure the success rate of the attack, the coach at this time will ask for a timeout at the first moment of possession, whether it is leading or behind.
Durant's luck was lamentable, and when he came back from a timeout, Zheng hit a three-pointer almost 24 seconds later.
This three-pointer increased his personal single-game score to 60 points, and it also became the winning goal of the whole game.
After that, Durant missed another three-point shot, and Jordan Jr. forced the last rebound, and the game was over.
The offensive battle ended in victory for the Timberwolves, who won by seven points 123-116, while Zheng scored 60 points, including 22 points in the final quarter.
Zheng Ke's streak of 50+ games extended to 5, including a streak of 60+ points.
What a crazy scoring record! And like Durant, who feels like he has been scoring all the time, he only scored 44 points in the whole game, which is still a long way from Zheng Ke's score.
After the game, Zheng Ke was interviewed by ESPN.
The big-breasted girl said "Long time no see" on her face, and asked Zheng Ke in an increasingly crooked voice: "You have once again completed a 60+ score, and the score looks very easy for you." ”
"Yes." Zheng Ke swallowed his saliva, his eyes wandered, and said: "I feel good today, in fact, my hand has been quite good recently." And the team needs me to increase the number of shots like that to guarantee the win. The other reason for the high score is because we were more quick to attack during this time, but you know, winning is the most important thing. ”
"The next game is against the Pistons, and it is said that the tickets for the target center are sold out, and the popularity is comparable to that of the Finals."
"Yes." This Zheng Ke really didn't know, and there was a natural look of surprise on his face, but immediately, he became calm and calm, and jokingly said: "This shows that our recent good performance has aroused the enthusiasm of the fans, which is a good thing." In fact, the tickets at our target center are always hot, haha"
