Chapter 276: The Clash of the Young Guards!
Harden looked dumbfounded on the bench, "Is this the strength of the league's top forward swingman?" This lightning-fast first step, an earth-shattering tomahawk split. The loud sound that spread through the amplification shook his ears slightly, and he subconsciously touched the palm of his hand, as if he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Ibaka saw that Harden was a little unnatural and asked with concern.
"No, it's okay" Harden shook his head and took out his elbow to support his chin. Suddenly realizing that his beard was too long, he grinned in embarrassment and scratched his cheek.
The Thunder team has not yet formed its own tactical system, and Westbrook, who gets the ball, has a lot of independent offensive power, he doesn't look at Durant, and he shoots in with his head, looking like he is ready to return Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke glanced at Durant in surprise and found that his face was calm, and he didn't care about Westbrook's brainless advance.
Pekovic stretched out his giant god-like palm, Westbrook's arms in the sky swung wildly, accidentally bumped into Pekovic's hand, he was immediately overjoyed, threw the ball into the sky, and then fell to the ground, looking at the referee with round eyes and innocent eyes.
The referee hesitated for a fraction of a second before blowing the whistle.
"White No. 14, Foul Hitter!"
The audience immediately booed, and the Timberwolves fans in the stands played the home team very professionally. Therefore, any such penalty that is not favorable to the home team will always attract a boo.
Westbrook stood at the free-throw line, and he looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Coupled with his unique expression, he looks cute and cute.
After two years in the league, Westbrook still doesn't seem to have grown much. He's still playing the same dynamite bag style. Hurting others can also hurt yourself. But in Zheng Ke's systematic exploration, Westbrook actually has enough growth, not only in terms of the small increase in various data, but also in the steel-like body, which has become more powerful and impactful.
Billups was a little struggling with his defense.
However, the Timberwolves have never lacked good point guards, watching Westbrook rush left and right on the court. Whitman laughed, if the Thunder just hit like this, I'm afraid I'll kneel in one section.
Really. After a few rushes, Westbrook found that he was not very efficient. Crucially, Brooks, the head coach on the sidelines, was yelling at him. So he stopped and watched the whole scene. Start directing your teammates to run.
Three minutes. Durant received the ball for the first time, but he directly faced Zheng Kegan.
Zheng Ke was taken aback and rushed forward, only to find that the corners of Durant's mouth were slightly curled.
"Huh!"
Entered? Zheng Ke couldn't believe it, Durant dared to pull it out in front of him? He looked at Durant's somewhat bright eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "Is this the trick you practiced?" With your height and reach, it's really hard to guard. ”
"Hehe" Durant was proud in his heart. He's still leaning back a little bit with this move, so far. No player has been able to block him yet.
"It's kind of interesting." Zheng Ke returned to the baseline, slapped the basketball, and sent it to Billups. A fire in his heart gradually burned, and the desire to compete with Durant became even stronger.
"Give it to me." Zheng Ke didn't speak, but he stretched out his hand to signal Billups to pass the ball, Billups was not Westbrook, he saw Zheng Ke asking for the ball, and passed it to Zheng Ke without hesitation.
Durant's hand was too long, and Zheng Ke grabbed the basketball with one hand and put it behind his back, and there was a feeling that he was going to be taken away by him.
"Bang!" The two made physical contact outside the three-point line.
Zheng Ke relied on his brute strength to knock away a little space, and then without hesitation, he broke through. Seeing that Durant was in danger of being out of position, Jeff Green opted for a timely pack. Zheng Ke's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his wrist, the orange basketball turned into a ray of light, penetrated Jeff Green's crotch, and bounced off the ground to Lefou.
Lefou's long-range two-point shot missed. Lefu clapped his hands regretfully and turned his head back to defense.
Westbrook moves forward quickly with the ball.
Durant stuck Zheng Ke at the top of the three-point arc and made a pose to ask for the ball. Westbrook, who was 45 degrees, stopped dribbling, he glanced at Durant, and then at Zheng Ke, who was very tight on Durant, and hesitated.
Finally, Westbrook made up his mind and hoisted the ball over.
A hint of cunning flashed in Zheng Ke's eyes, and he made a wrong step, like a long-dormant poisonous snake, accurately biting the prey that had been waiting for a long time!!
"Smack!"
The basketball flew to the frontcourt, and Zheng Ke reached 300 yards in the blink of an eye like a Ferrari sports car that suddenly started! Running after the basketball.
Zheng Ke looked back, and the Thunder team did not give up the defense, and Durant and Westbrook were running towards him.
"Can you get it?"
Zheng Ke smiled slightly, and chose the safest way to put the basket with both hands, the basketball was just exposed from his hand, and immediately disappeared, and the next second, it was already rolling on the ground.
"So fast?"
Harden's eyes popped out, and the speed at which Zheng Ke was advancing was too exaggerated. Especially under the backdrop of Westbrook and Durant, who are already fast, the speed of Zheng Ke, who dribbles and rushes forward, is even more obvious. The last two-handed basket was also extremely clever, without making a sound, the basketball quickly rubbed against the net, and it felt like someone had put it in.
Thunder head coach Brooks shook his head helplessly.
Westbrook's passing needs to be improved, not to mention that he has a lot of assists, in fact, he has not reached a height in terms of the strength of the pass or the angle. In front of a super defender like Zheng Ke, who averages nearly 3 per game, any deviation will turn into a huge mistake and eventually lead to a loss of points.
Fortunately, Westbrook's nerves are not ordinarily thick, and he looks like a nobody after dropping the ball. turned around and hit a three-pointer directly, and it actually hit!
"I'll go, and 22 percent of the men will get in." Zheng Ke looked at the fluttering nets and was speechless.
By the time Harden came on the court, the first quarter had come to an end, and he was replaced by the Thunder's backup power forward Serge Ibaka.
The Timberwolves also entered their normal rotation, with Iverson and Anderson joining forces. Afflalo was rested, Billups and Iverson partnered in the backcourt, and the two had a vague concept of position, and it was impossible to tell who organized and who scored.
"Against Iverson?" Harden felt a little excited. Who is Iverson? Perhaps in the minds of the young people born after 85, he is not only a great scorer, but also a favorite champion in history. It is also a kind of faith, a faith that never gives up, and a faith that is unruly
Unfortunately, Iverson didn't know that the bearded kid in front of him was excited. After he got the ball, he dribbled the ball with a simple crotch, and then easily passed Harden's defense.
"Huh? Distracted? The thought flashed through Iverson's mind before rushing inside.
Such a good opportunity, he naturally will not let go, the most skillful and commonly used Chang'e to the moon, the most skillful and commonly used move, lifted the ball out of the palm of his hand, and flew to the rebound.
A big black hand suddenly appeared on the basketball's flight path.
"Smack!"
The basketball flew back upside down at a speed that increased several times, and before everyone could react, it fell directly outside the basketball court.
"What? When? Iverson frowned slightly, and he glanced at the dark-skinned King Kong bouncing man in front of him in surprise, and had a sense of déjà vu.
"Whew~" Iverson shook his head, he lifted the hairband, and shook out the cluttered thoughts in his mind. "What was I thinking? Deacbe (Mutombo) has retired"
"Be careful." Zheng Ke walked over and whispered to Iverson, "This guy has a long hand and a fast bullet speed. Well~ the awareness of co-defense is also very good"
"yes, I know." Iverson nodded his head to show that he understood.
The Timberwolves' possession, after a tactical run, the basketball was thrown out of the outside by Lefu, and Zheng Ke lightly stretched his ape arm and accepted the basketball.
He transferred the ball to Billups at the top of the arc, who took the ball in his hands and restarted the organization (to be continued......
