Chapter 27: Halftime

The Mavericks have a lot of money and a lot of talent on the bench. There are Stackhouse, who scored 57 points in a single game that year, Dampier, who is known as the "No. 1 center in the West", and Diop, a "translator" who can speak five languages.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves have a withering talent on the bench, and no one is slightly more famous except for Anthony Walker, who was once the standout product of the '96 Golden Draft generation.

But it's not about fame that plays basketball well, the Timberwolves don't have big names, but they have a bunch of young people, who are full of energy and passion.

The Mavericks' sky-high luxury division was blown up by the Timberwolves' soy sauce man whose salary on the bench added up to less than 20 million, and the Mavericks' head coach "Little General" Johnson was very dissatisfied with the team's bench performance. The Mavericks' team bench didn't make any achievements after coming on the court in the second quarter, and was stunned by the Timberwolves' 12-0 spurt!

In desperation, Johnson had no choice but to send Abbot Terry to the field again.

Jason Terry is a pro-brawler who is extremely adept at catch-and-shoot three-point shots and long-range two-point shots. The offense is sharp and the passing is sophisticated, but there are deficiencies in defense. In addition, he is also good at throwing in the paint area after the pick-and-roll.

Terry's presence strengthened the Mavericks' bench firepower, and it didn't take long for him to make a mark, breaking through to the Timberwolves' restricted area and making a toss-and-shoot that drew a foul on the Timberwolves' bench interior Mark Madsen to close the deficit to seven points.

The strength of the Mavericks' bench is still higher than that of the Timberwolves, especially after Terry joined the rotation lineup of the bench, the Mavericks gradually mastered the initiative on the court, and the Timberwolves originally established an advantage of up to 10 gradually eroded by the Mavericks.

Drip~

Timberwolves push foul on No. 17!

Zheng Ke raised his hand helplessly, he had nothing to defend, it was indeed as the referee judged, Zheng Ke blocked the foul on Harris. Although he was fast and had the advantage of height and arm length, Harris was still a little faster than him after all, and he was quite agile, Zheng Ke struggled to defend him, and with Harris's frequent breakaways, Zheng Ke received his third foul of the game near the end of the first half.

On the court, the Timberwolves still had a narrow three-point lead of 47-44, and after Harris made a free throw, the Timberwolves only led by one point.

Zheng Ke looked at the bench on the sidelines. In the NBA, after an important player has received three fouls before the end of the first half, the coach usually takes him off the court. But today Whitman was different, he waved his hand to signal Zheng Ke not to worry and continue to participate in the competition.

Zheng Ke got the instructions of the head coach and boldly bullied Harris. Zheng Ke is a smart man, and he understands that the reason the manager kept him on the court was because the first half was about to end, and the other reason was that there was no one on the team but him who could prevent Harris, at least when he was full of energy in the first half.

So Zheng Ke was forced to carry more pressure on Harris.

There was a minute left before the end of the first half.

Harris chose to cooperate with Nowitzki to block and dismantle, this time the driver's cover was in place, Zheng Ke did not keep up with Harris, but Jefferson had already gone to make up for the defense, Zheng Ke had to follow the driver. Harris saw that Jefferson's defense was very tight, he hurriedly made a pass to the back, the ball was successfully passed to the driver, Zheng Ke saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to put pressure on the driver, laughing, that is the driver, at his own height, if it is too far away, it is estimated that the driver will easily hit three points like a bag.

Although Zheng Ke has taken a step forward to interfere, but the driver is the driver, after he received Harris's pass, he found that the big man who defended himself Jefferson was gone, and the change of defense was a "small man" who was half a head shorter than himself, what was there to hesitate, he hurriedly, just like eating and drinking, and threw the ball out.

But before he could make a move, he saw a large hand appear in front of his eyes, obscuring his vision.

"Bang!"

The iron was hit, and the rebound was taken into the arms of Jefferson, who was stuck in the main position on the inside.

Back when it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, Telfair was at the top of the arc to command, Gossman slipped the baseline and ran back, ran out of space by giving him Zheng Ke who was covering without the ball at the free throw line, and then successfully received Telfair's pass, and when no one was guarded, he hit this long-range mid-range shot like usual training.

The Mavericks were not discouraged, and they quickly sent out baseline shots and wanted to play a fast break. The Timberwolves were a little slower to defend themselves, and the Mavericks formed a three-on-two situation in the frontcourt. In the frontcourt, Zheng Ke and Telfer opted to shrink their defense to prevent three Mavericks players from making layups.

Harris, who was in possession of the ball, made a surprise stop, and instead of opting for a pass, he made a pull-up jumper near the free throw line.

Chirping~~

The sneakers rubbed against the floor and made a screeching sound, and Zheng Kezhen was worried that Harris would not be immediately reimbursed for his knee when he played like this, but he didn't have to worry because Harris hit the ball.

The Mavericks scored two more points to give the Timberwolves just one point ahead at 49-48. ,

In the first half, the Timberwolves almost had to carry out one attack, and the Timberwolves chose to hand the ball to the team's star Jefferson to solve. Jefferson receives a pass from a team-mate just outside the right-hand box. He took the ball with his back, raised it high with both hands, and pouted his butt, testing the defensive pressure of the man behind him.

Time was running out, and Nowitzki's defense was still leaky.

Twenty-four seconds were coming, Jefferson still didn't have a chance to break through to the basket, he made a left-turn jumper after a fumbled face, Nowitzki quickly stepped forward to follow, just like Zheng Ke had just defended his ball, he stretched out that long arm, interfering with Jefferson's vision.

The ball is ironed.

The basketball hit the hoop and jumped up, and just as people looked at the ownership of the rebound, a black shadow rose from the ground, like a bolt of lightning, and before everyone could react, they grabbed the basketball with one hand and dunked it into the frame. At this time, there are only 3.9 seconds left, which can be called a whistle deduction! Who added it?

It's Zheng Ke!

Zheng Ke bypassed Josh Howard, who was defending him, when Jefferson made a shooting move, he cut in from a forty-five degree direction, I didn't expect God to favor him so much, the basketball rebounded and jumped in this direction, he originally just wanted to pick up a rebound, but there was not enough time, Zheng Ke wanted to grab the rebound and there was no time to attack, so he gritted his teeth, he chose a more difficult dunk, but he didn't expect to really make up for it.

This dunk came suddenly, calming the audience, and they even subconsciously exclaimed, but when they reacted, they remembered that it was the away team's players who completed the dunk, so they hurriedly let out a "woo" boo to express their disdain for this goal.

The crowd was stunned, but the players didn't get sluggish, especially for a team like the Mavericks with a lot of experience in the game. I saw that Nowitzki's face did not change, and he picked up the basketball and quickly handed it to Terry.

Terry took the ball and took a quick dribble for a few steps, then pushed the ball out like a women's shot.

It's a pity that the ball didn't go in, it was far away, and it didn't even hit the rebound.

The first half of the game is over!
