Catch, turn, pull-up jumper.

Zheng Ke's movements are simple and elegant, and with his unmatched reach and bounce power, when he is in the air, basically no one can block him.

Even if it's Kidd's plug-in**.

"Huh!"

Zheng Kegao's basketball shot passed through the net, and his bright eyes were like the deepest starry sky this summer. The raised hand was placed in the air, arrogant and domineering

"How's it going, old man?" As Kidd stepped back, Zheng started chattering in his ear, "How about this turnaround jumper?" With your height and bounce, I can easily finish any offense on your head! Is Carlisle crazy? Let you guard me? ”

Kidd kept silent, but Zheng Ke's words were really annoying, it was embarrassing enough to take the initiative to ask Ying to defend and lose a goal, and he also ridiculed himself like this, which made Kidd really annoyed. It's just that he has always been calm, and now it is a critical moment, and when the overall situation is important, he holds back the anger in his heart.

Nowitzki scored two points on a high jumper and the Mavericks trailed by 10 points at 69-79.

Lowry controlled the basketball advancement, and after switching to Barria's short-legged defense, Lowry only felt that the pressure on his body was reduced a lot. At least when I was playing against Kidd before, I had to worry about Kidd all the time, the old guy was too experienced in defense, and maybe he would have to do it at any time.

Barria broke through the offense, shooting or something, this defense

After a simple cross-step, Lowry shook off a bit of space to break through to the left. The Mavericks' combined defense contracted extremely quickly, and after passing Barria, Lowry was immediately pinched. His reflexes were extremely quick, and with a blow of his wrist, he quickly moved the ball to Marcus Thorton, who was 45 degrees open on the left.

Vacant opportunity, Thorton made a decisive shot!

The basketball was missed, and the rebound was taken by Haywood, who was stuck in the main position under the basket, and this brilliant blue-collar worker was a weakened version of Chandler. Complement each other with Nowitzki.

Mavericks offense.

At this point, two minutes had passed in the fourth quarter, and the game entered the final 10 minutes. Of course, the premise is that the winner is scored after 48 minutes.

It was still Nowitzki who took the ball in the low post, and Lefu was on the field, but the Germans seemed to be addicted to beating him.

The problem is that Lefu really can't stop Nowitzki. He is now up against most of the league's low-post attackers, but he's up against a tough forward opponent. What welled up in my heart was the same pain as the NBA centers encountered the Sky Hook Jabbar.

Nowitzki took the ball, and Zheng Ke moved in small steps to wrap up.

Nowitzki immediately reached out and passed the ball to Kidd, who was cleared by Zheng Ke on the outside. The Timberwolves rotated their defense extremely quickly, and Kidd had just gotten the basketball, and Lowry at the top of the arc immediately came over to fill in the position. Kidd then naturally passed the ball to Barria, who was defended by Thorton on the other side.

Barria then led again and passed to Peja on the left flank.

"Smack!"

Yellow-skinned hands suddenly appeared in front of Peja's outstretched hands!

"Underestimate me too much!" Zheng Ke's eyes flashed with excitement. It's as fast as a white bolt of lightning. His judgment was extremely accurate, his speed and reach were so terrifying that the break was just right, and it wasn't until he was five or six meters away that the Mavericks and the rest of the Timberwolves reacted.

It takes time to go from reaction to action, and at this time, Zheng Ke has already reached the Mavericks' half-court three-point line, and everyone knows that this is another violent dunk. The Mavericks players also gave up on the pursuit.

Zheng Ke turned his head to look behind him and realized that he could sing a one-man show at halftime.

He took three steps with confidence and boldness, and in the expectant eyes of the audience, in their roar of "herewego", Zheng Ke spread his wings and took a step in the free throw line to slam the axe!

The basketball passed through the net, smashed on Zheng Ke's chest and flew out of the baseline, and Zheng Ke stood under the basket rack with both feet. Screaming at the camera.

81 to 69.

Mistakes like this are very undeserved, and Blair jumped angrily off the pitch, and there were some doubts about whether putting the "young" Barria on the pitch was the right decision.

The NBA is most afraid of all kinds of low-level mistakes in the team, which is far more terrible than a bad hand, because this one comes and goes, and it is easy to be pulled away.

Nowitzki was strong, at least from the second quarter onwards. The Timberwolves have been implementing Thibodeau's wrap-and-roll strategy throughout, preferring to let the rest of the Mavericks shoot rather than let Nowitzki shoot. It's a somewhat weakened version of Jordan's rule, and it couldn't be better against a single-core team.

6 minutes and 43 seconds. Zheng Ke assisted Lefu to hit the basket and shoot well, and the game entered the final main rotation time.

On the court, the Mavericks replaced Marion, Chandler and others, and the Timberwolves replaced Billups, Jordan Jr. and others.

Kidd's expression was a little embarrassed, and ten minutes ago, he boasted that Haikou would personally go out to defend Zheng Ke.

As a result, during this period of time, Zheng Ke scored 8 points and 3 assists on 4-of-5 shooting, except for Zheng Ke's mistake at the beginning that made Carlisle's eyes shine, and Kidd was basically blown up the rest of the time.

So as soon as Marion came up, Kidd didn't say much, and the two exchanged defensive objects very tacitly, and he began to return to the old opponent's side to compete with Billups.

"Isn't Marion just as unstoppable?" Xibodeo, who was on the side of the venue, secretly thought that he was extremely confident in Zheng Ke. In the years that he has been involved in coaching, the players he has seen are at least in thousands, but Zheng Ke is still the first physical fitness man. Perfect muscle lines, leopard-like explosiveness, and most terrifying has the power of a big shark, it is simply a machine born for basketball.

In comparison, Marion, although also talented, is much worse.

At least after Zheng Ke got the basketball, he pouted his ass and relied hard on it to fight with real physical strength. Marion struggled and took a small step back. Zheng Ke immediately turned around, used his right foot as the axis, and then used his left foot to exert force, and the standard was a textbook-like backward jumper.

The ball scored, 90-79, and the Timberwolves still led by 11 points.

The 10-point difference is a moat, and the Mavericks players feel deep sadness in their psyche, feeling that they can't catch up. This feeling is alarming, and although it does not lead to passive slackness, it is an indisputable fact that high morale has declined.

Three minutes before the end, Billups hit a game-winning three-pointer from the outside to help the Timberwolves stretch the margin to 15 points. Carlisle shook his head off the field, his face was very unwilling, he was now in a hesitation to choose, and he was a little unwilling to give up the game like this, but looking at the tired looks of the players, another rational voice in his heart told him that the Mavericks had lost this game.

He didn't get hung up on it for long.

At the 2-minute mark, the difference was still 15 points, and at this time, Zheng Ke's breakthrough caused Marion's foul. Carlisle let out a sigh of relief and replaced all the main players in a lonely manner.

The Mavericks surrendered, and the Timberwolves won their first game in the second round.

The final score was a 111-99 victory over the Mavericks by 12 points, and Zheng still scored a game-high 34 points and 13 assists in the game, and he scored 14 points in the final quarter of the game. It can be expected that this is basically tomorrow's headline again - Zheng Ke scored 14 points in the last quarter and beat the Mavericks at home.

Mavericks players slithered down the tunnel, flanked by Timberwolves fans taunting them as victors.

"What a fucking unwillingness!" Nowitzki finally turned around and glanced at the target center, feeling very unhappy.

"It's okay, I'll fight them in two days." Kidd played the demeanor of Big Brother and patted Nowitzki on the shoulder, as if reading the heart of the "king".

Nowitzki feels like he's been in great shape since the playoffs, as if he's at the peak of his career. In the first round of the Thunder, the kid from the Congo was beaten all over the ground by himself. In this round of beating the Timberwolves, the bearded Lefu was also blown up by himself, but the results of the two were very different. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall behind with Kidd, and asked a little depressedly, "Why are we falling behind?" I don't feel like we're much worse than the Timberwolves, but we're losing by more than ten points before we know it. ”

Kidd is a man who aspires to be a coach, and even if he is in the authorities, he sees things very clearly. So he groaned, "That Timberwolves are a little bit ahead of us in every quarter." We've been behind since half-time and we're always chasing points. We paid so much attention to this point difference that we lacked the character and strategy that we should have maintained, and Zheng Ke was very difficult to guard, but the Timberwolves were the only ones. ”

"He's the only one?" Nowitzki paused to hear what Kidd had to say.

"Billups is not young, and the obvious decline in regular season stats is a big sign," Kidd said. Although Lefu can get big data, you should know that he basically has no independent offensive ability. The Timberwolves can only hold the ball with one and a half players. If there is no Zheng Ke, Billups and Love alone are just a second-rate team, and what we have to do is actually just prevent Zheng Ke alone! ”

Nowitzki was suddenly cleared by Kidd's words, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Kidd and asked, "And then?" ”

"And then?" Kidd was stunned for a moment, spread his hands, and wondered, "What?" ”

Novitsky said: "Then how to defend Zheng Ke?" ”

Kidd wiped the sweat from his face and said embarrassedly, "This is also the most troublesome thing at the moment." The Timberwolves have become a whole under the integration of Zheng Ke, and how to defend Zheng Ke has become a topic of research across the league. I also defended him for half a quarter today, and he's really different from James, not only because he's very physical, but he also has a touch that never looks cold, like a freeze-resistant machine. ”
