Chapter 328: Can You Prevent It?
On the 29th, the Timberwolves, who returned to their home court, regained their strength and prepared to fight to the death.
Before the sun had set, the fans arrived at the target center early. They finished the day with a relaxed expression. The rich brought a family to watch the game, and the poor walked into the stadium alone with a popcorn bucket.
ESPN's outside footage captured a lot of adorable fans, mostly wearing Timberwolves white jerseys, holding plastic sticks distributed at the door, and their faces painted with the beautiful Timberwolves logo. In the distance, three or five beautiful women wearing white miniskirts and revealing their beautiful thighs came by. When they saw the camera, they walked to the camera on Twitter, and said hello to the camera playfully, their white and smooth faces were marked with the English letters "ZK", which looked like Zheng Ke's fans.
In Minnesota, where the temperature is low all year round, it is rare to see such a board and such sexy girls, and the young men are stunned.
Perhaps this is the last game of the Timberwolves season, and the fans who came over are ready in their hearts.
According to an online survey, in the fifth game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs, only the Timberwolves in Minnesota surpassed the Spurs in the United States.
Zheng Ke doesn't believe in this evil, why does the team that gets the match point have a better chance of winning?
He sat down in a chair in the locker room and pulled out his phone. In the mobile phone are cheering text messages from many friends, including Yao Ming, Durant, and his parents. The battle attracted too many people's attention, and the ratings of the whole of China were so high that they completely exploded the concurrent programs of other major television stations. It also exploded the ratings of other sports columns in this time period.
Yao Ming and Zheng Ke contributed to the rise of basketball in China, and the two of them made basketball a universal sport that truly penetrated into the whole of China. Not only in the economically developed Guangdong region, but also in Sichuan. In a large western province like Shaanxi, basketball has also become quite hot. More and more parents see the future of playing basketball, and they are willing to train their talented children professionally, so more and more good seedlings are being discovered. And the model of Zheng Ke, who goes directly to an excellent basketball university in the United States after the college entrance examination, and then participates in the NBA draft, is also accepted by more and more parents.
Zheng Ke has made a name for himself, but he has faced the biggest test of his career so far.
A test from the Spurs.
Although the "Black Seven" is not as popular as the "Black Eight", it is by no means a glorious thing. Right now, the Timberwolves are down 3-1. If you lose a casual game, you will be "black seven" by the Spurs. ”
In the player status shown by the system, Ginobili and Duncan are both hot and cold, while Billups is cold. The flounder in this year's playoffs is a lot worse than last year. Especially in the defense of Parker, Billups looks a little struggling, and people can't help but lament that the years are getting old.
The players of both sides pinched the time point and stepped into the main venue of the target center arena on time.
A black piece. And then with the Timberwolves players rushing out. The lights are on. The DJ began to introduce the Timberwolves starting five with his rhythmic voice.
"First of all, let's welcome the seven-foot-tall, big center from Serbian Montenegro, Nikola~~~ Pekovic" The audience immediately cooperated with applause and screams, the lights shone on Pekovic, and the young man smiled innocently and waved his arms to greet the fans.
After the end of the turn, Zheng Ke appeared in the finale.
"Let's welcome our superstars. King of Minnesota, 6'8" tall. From China, the all-round small forward - Zheng ~~~~ gram! ”
Zheng Ke's appearance brought the whole appearance ceremony to a climax, and the camera that had been calm for a long time finally couldn't help it, the flash flashed brightly, and a large row of spotlights shone on Zheng Ke, revealing his strong and slender body, which caused the female fans at the scene to scream.
Just after the Timberwolves appearance ceremony ended and the bright lights were on, the audience pulled out a giant banner:
"We tried our best, we struggled, we left sweat, we worked hard to get the most out of our strength. Winning or losing is not so important, the most important thing is that we delivered the most wonderful process. ”
The payment was given to the adorable Timberwolves players.
As soon as these banners were pulled out, they immediately attracted the attention of the audience. It is surprising that these dozen fans put up such slogans. You must know that in the NBA, it has always been a win or a loser, and the team that loses is always the team that is blamed, let alone the Timberwolves who lose for various reasons. However, these dozen Timberwolves fans actually said that they didn't care about winning or losing, although I don't know how many viewers they represented, but Zheng Ke who saw the banner was really moved in their hearts.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
Zheng Ke shook his head, feeling very guilty. The Timberwolves could have had a chance to win, and the reason why they have come to this point is that he has a lot of responsibility. Of course, in other words, without Zheng Ke's rampage in Game 3, maybe the Timberwolves would have been swept by now, so it's hard to explain these things.
After a commotion in the audience, they turned their attention back to the field, paying attention to the performance of their own stars.
The warm-up was not long, and almost all the spectators had just sat down on their butts before the referee signaled that the game was about to start, so only the starters and referees of both sides were left on the field.
Still a familiar opponent, Zheng Ke walked to Jefferson's side, but kept silent.
"Ha, what, it doesn't feel good to lose. You see that your fans are not hopeful anymore, what does it mean to not care about the process, obviously thinking that you will lose before saying this. Jefferson is very energetic, in this round of the series, he has no other work, they are focused on defending Zheng Ke, the old guy really deserves to be an All-Star player, the trash talk is one after another, noisy like a fly, constantly "buzzing" in Zheng Ke's ears.
The basketball was thrown into the air, and Duncan was the first to dial it.
The basketball flew to McDyce behind him, McDyce looked at Zheng Ke nervously, and reached out to take the basketball, for fear that Zheng Ke would come over to make a sneak attack again.
However, this time Zheng Ke didn't make a move, seeing Duncan jump to win the game, the first one to retreat to the Timberwolves' half, waiting for the Spurs to attack.
The Spurs continued their previous start, George Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, McDyce and Duncan.
The Timberwolves are still in the same old lineup, but it's a pity that the interior strength has been lowered by one level compared to last year. The Timberwolves' rebounding has always been the best guarantee for them to play fast break, but after the injury of Love, Gibson and Pekovic's interior rebounding protection level is not good enough, but the Timberwolves have no other options, Jordan Jr. and Anderson's defense is very strong, but the current rebounding ability of the two can only be said to be average. In other words, these two people's rebounds cannot meet the starting requirements of the Timberwolves, and for such considerations, Jordan Jr. and Anderson can only be cold benches.
Hill controlled the ball from the outside, and Duncan ran over to block him.
Simple pick-and-roll tactics have ingrained in every bone of the Spurs' players. Hill was given a bit of space to try out a three-pointer from the outside.
"Bang!"
The basketball bounced off, and if he wanted to throw it again, Zheng Ke would go crazy. In the last game, Hill was in a big swing, shooting 5-of-6 from three-point range.
The rebound was grabbed by Zheng Ke, and he did not refuse such a rebound. "Attack!"
Almost the moment Zheng Ke got the basket, all the players of the Timberwolves started, like horses on the loose, and the smoke and dust billowed towards the Spurs in the half.
As soon as George Hill made a move, the Spurs stepped back to defend faster than the Timberwolves' fast break.
Zheng Ke advanced beyond the three-point line with the ball, and when he saw that there was no chance, he stopped and distributed the ball to Billups to reorganize.
Princeton, triangle offense, Hawks tactics, the Timberwolves' offensive system looks chaotic and vaguely has a unique style. Zheng Ke is the first core when attacking this position, and he needs to participate in each of the ten sets of tactics that the Timberwolves always have, and his position on the court is a standard wing, and the range of movement is also around the bottom corner to the top of the arc.
Billups directed the Timberwolves' players to run, and Zheng started from the bottom left corner and went near the right upline wing, with Gibson and Pekovic providing him with off-ball screens in the middle.
He ran outside the three-point line, and Jefferson didn't miss it, still clinging to him.
At this point, only he and Jefferson were left in the right half, and the Spurs had no players yet to come over and wrap up. Zheng Ke took the ball and turned around, his body shook, and he killed inside with a basketball.
"Can't pass, you can't pass!"
While cheering himself up like a demonic barrier in his heart, Jefferson's body burst out with energy, always entangled Zheng Ke's left and right.
Turn around, lean back, take two steps head-on, dribble under one crotch and then turn around and back again.
Zheng Ke advanced all the way to the outside of the paint area, estimating that the Spurs were about to come to the bag, his shoulder slammed, his step was wrong, and after a false shake, he pulled up.
With a backward lean, this kind of shooting, Jefferson can't do anything at all, he can only pray that he will not go in.
He obviously didn't burn high incense before the game, and Zheng Ke simply passed through his heart neatly.
The spectators who had been preparing for a long time in the target center immediately roared, they had been staring at Zheng Ke for a long time, just waiting for the Timberwolves to score first, and as soon as the basketball entered the frame, the net flowers did not float. It was as if the target center had opened a floodgate, and there was a cheer like a stormy wave.
"How's it going, can you guard against it?"
Zheng Ke said in front of Jefferson, tilting his head, his slightly bearded chin proudly raised, like the most inviolable wolf king in Minnesota (to be continued......
