Chapter 236: A God-like Man

Zheng Ke's counterattack came so quickly and so violently!

After the pause, he still played crazy, three points, mid-range shots, breakthroughs, he was omnipotent, just like Zhao Zilong, who was seven in and seven out of the million-dollar Cao army, he came and went freely in the position of the rocket, like entering a no-man's land.

"What to do, what to do?" Adelman, who was watching the game, could no longer sit calmly on the bench, he stood up, paced back and forth, and roared twice into the field from time to time.

"Zheng Ke held the ball in one hand on the outside, suddenly started, passed Sean (Battier) defense, made a stop-and-go jump shot, and hit!"

"Zheng Ke ran the bottom line, Chauncey (Billups) gave the air relay! Good shot, Timberwolves scored two more points. ”

Zheng Ke singled Ron (Artest) with his back, the Rockets were clamped, turned around and threw a backward jumper, and went in! It's so difficult! ”

"Zheng Ke scored 3 points from the outside line and hit! Even if you buy karma, he's crazy! ”

Zheng Ke

The commentary of the two hosts of TNT broadcast in the first quarter almost revolved around Zheng Ke, and the two of them praised Zheng Ke's strong counterattack in constant surprise, and Zheng Ke's score was also counted in their conscious sense, 10 points, 14 points, 19 points, and finally, at the end of the first quarter of the game, Zheng Ke scored 25 exaggerated points!

Adelman put Battier and Artest, who were selected in the best defensive team, in turn, but he still couldn't help Zheng Ke, and he obviously wanted to beat the rhythm of God today.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Rockets by 14 points, 36-22.

There was no longer the warm atmosphere before the game. The voices of the audience cheering became quieter and quieter, and gradually fell silent, except for a few places where people were still shouting and cheering.

Zheng Ke walked back to the bench surrounded by everyone. He was just four points shy of breaking the highest-scoring score in a single quarter in NBA playoff history. On May 10, 1987, in the Golden State Warriors' game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Slip Floyd scored 29 points in a single quarter, and in the same game, he scored 39 points in the first half and also set a new NBA playoff halftime scoring record.

"Not bad, not bad!" With a smile on his face, Whitman personally handed a glass of water to his disciple. He faced the players sitting on the bench. Again, he made his encouraging declaration: "We held up well in the first quarter and played our style, which was to press the Rockets. Once Yao Ming has the ball, we will resolutely cover it, and today the Rockets feel very average, and we have a good chance to win. If you win later. The next game is our home stadium! ”

Billups couldn't help but roll his eyes when he said this, thinking that in the first quarter, it was obviously Zheng Ke who blew up the rocket alone, that's all, where did he come from his own style.

"The Rockets can't deal with Zheng now, we just need to give him the ball, and then open up the space, and throw that damn ball in when there is an open space to shoot, and the Rockets will have no way to tie the score again!" Whitt yelled. The first quarter of the game also saw his heart fluctuate. Clamoring to beat the Rockets by a big score!

Zheng Ke took a breath a little and chose to take a temporary break at the beginning of the second quarter. In the first quarter, I gave it my all. He hadn't really done anything attacking the basket before, and this time it really tired him enough.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, Zheng Ke re-entered the court. At this time, the lead was still the Timberwolves, but only a nine-point lead at 46-37.

After Zheng Ke came on the court, the hearts of the Rocket team members trembled, and they subconsciously thought: He is here!

Even the host of TNT had his eyes lit up, and he regained his spirit and began to explain.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zheng Ke smiled slightly and faced Artest.

"Jokes." Artest scoffed at Zheng's words and made a gesture of disdain.

Zheng Ke didn't speak, and the two began to wrestle secretly in the crowd.

Standing on the perimeter is Channing Free, who is more able to open up space than Anderson when Zheng is on the fire, and his three-point shot is a big killer that the Rockets have to defend.

After a few guided passes, Zheng Ke turned his back to the ball near the right baseline, and Billups hoisted the ball to him with precision.

"It's back singles again!" There was a wail from the Rockets fans.

Some people say that Zheng Ke has a single offensive method, but he can score high points in the playoffs in a tight defense, and the most important thing is that he likes to take the trouble to solve the battle with the same move. Just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Sky Hook and Jordan's step-back jumper, when these skills are practiced to the point of returning to the basics, there is no need for other offensive methods.

So far, Zheng Ke's back-to-back jumper has obviously accounted for the highest proportion of his positional offensive battles, so high that even Rockets fans watching the game are annoyed.

But he just got in!

"Huh!"

The Timberwolves regained their reach of 10 points at 48-37.

Not to mention the fans in Houston, when fans in other regions watched the game, they obviously had a great impression of Zheng Ke, who has been working hard and doing unyielding struggles. The Timberwolves who fell into the last situation, Zheng Ke, who scored 25 points in a single quarter, and the big hero who saved the team by himself, all of this is in line with their aesthetics and their values.

Zheng Ke felt as if he had entered a wonderful situation, the position where the players on the field stood seemed to be engraved into his mind, he could clearly know how he should go next, where to go, and even every time he shot, he had the illusion that he would definitely score.

By halftime, Zheng had scored 36 points and Forest were 15 points ahead at 63-48.

No one expected that the Timberwolves or Zheng Ke would be able to burst out with such energy in a desperate situation, as if talking about books and nights, too dreamy.

But this exists, the surprise sent by Zheng Ke is too big, so that the already high ratings of the Rockets and Timberwolves continue to skyrocket, and many fans who are watching the text live broadcast are desperate to go home and watch TV, in order to see the demeanor of Zheng Ke who continued to go crazy in the second half.

They didn't go wrong, Zheng Ke in the third quarter continued to play a magical performance, there were direct single blocks and screens and then shots, some covered their eyes and still shots, and there were two plus one after being touched, and every goal he scored could be rated as the best five goals in the game, and every goal could make the two hosts of TNT let out exclamations similar to "God" and "again".

The entire third quarter is a microcosm of Zheng Ke's season growth, he showed the world his incisive offensive ability, leading the Timberwolves to play wave after wave of offensive climax.

At this moment, Adelman calmed down, he sat back on the bench, and looked at Zheng Ke who tried to gallop, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Zheng scored 51 points in the third quarter and 15 points in the third quarter, and after three quarters, the Timberwolves also managed to stretch the margin to more than 20 points.

Such a super-god-level performance is reminiscent of Larry Bird's evaluation of Jordan's 63-point game: He was possessed by God tonight, and he controlled the whole game.

That's right, Zheng Ke was in control of the game, hitting 19 of his 27 shots, including six three-pointers, with outrageous efficiency.

Zheng Ke sat on the sidelines in the fourth quarter to rest, and at this time, he could easily watch the play of his teammates on the court and read the game from the perspective of a spectator.

The rocket struggled for half a knot after the last round, and then raised the flag and surrendered.

Enthusiastic Rockets fans began to leave the court one after another early when the Rockets surrendered in the fourth quarter, hanging their heads and putting away signs like "Closer to the Finals." Of course, there are also some die-hard Rockets fans who are still hoarsely cheering for the Rockets who are already garbage time.

When Zheng Ke left the field with the team and entered the players' tunnel, there were still many fans who stretched out their palms, hoping to high-five this superstar who was powerful tonight. With his head bowed, he stretched out a terrifying stretch of arms and high-fived countless fans as he walked.

The total score is tied at 2-3, and the next game is the home of the Timberwolves, which makes Zheng Ke, who sees hope, feel very good. I took a shower and left the arena.

After the game, major media newspapers rushed to produce the latest news overnight.

Minnesota Sentinel: "51 points in the third quarter, Zheng Ke is on par with historical legends"
