Both teams are among the top teams in the league and have very different styles. On a stage like the West Final, a wonderful drama was staged for the audience.

At halftime, the ratings had reached a frightening high, higher than the three major sporting events in the United States during the same period, and also surpassed the highest ratings during the last Heat Big Three vs. Bulls. This is also a special situation for Spurs, which has always been a box office killer.

Zheng Ke is now the NBA's No. 1 player, and his games have been followed by fans, just as people loved to see Jordan play, and Zheng Ke's lightweight style of play has gradually made him one of the most watchable basketball players on the planet.

In the second half, the Timberwolves began to hand the ball to Zheng Ke again.

It seems that superstars have become the norm in the third quarter, and veterans such as Billups are happy to see a "big boss" like Zheng Ke control the ball in the third quarter and bring the game into a suitable rhythm.

Zheng Ke took the ball in a low position, and Jefferson's card owner Zheng Ke went off the plate, and the bruises in his arms burst out, obviously using the strength of his whole body.

The Spurs didn't step forward to wrap up, Zheng Ke turned around and shook the ball in one hand. Then suddenly he took a step to the left with his right foot, and broke through to the left, and Jefferson immediately jumped a big step after being electrocuted, and he had long been afraid of Zheng Ke's first step, and this reaction was not unpleasant. But Zheng Ke's shot was a feint, taking a big step back to the left with his left foot, stepping on the ground with both feet, accompanied by a slight back, and easily threw this mid-range shot.

Hit! 50 to 48.

Zheng occasionally uses some other offensive styles, and step-back jumpers like this one are very useful. Even if you can't shake off the defender, you can maximize the distance and get space to shoot.

Spurs attack. Duncan covered in the high post, and after the misplacement, Duncan singled Billups in the low post, and Love stepped forward to wrap the ball, and Duncan passed the ball to Parker, who was open on the outside. Parker hesitated, but got up and chose a three-point shot. When the basketball was thrown, Parker knew that the ball would not go in, and hurriedly shouted "Rebound." ”

"Mine!"

Zheng Ke appeared like a flying immortal in the sky. Got the rebound in the air.

As soon as it landed, the Timberwolves were fast-breaking. The ball is in Zheng Ke's hands, and he is like a vigorous forest wolf. Running quickly, good ball control and top-notch speed make him extremely formidable in such a fast-break push. Minnesota's bandit legions quickly advanced on three fronts and fought into the heart of the Spurs.

Zheng Ke advanced in the middle. No. 20 Ginobili blocked his front! ”

"Even buy karma. What a beautiful turn! ”

As soon as he stopped and pulled the ball, Zheng Ke turned around gorgeously and passed Ginobili's defense, and in the contact between the two, Ginobili was stuck behind Zheng Ke's body, and then Zheng Ke slapped the ball and easily moved forward again, and there was no one in front of him. Directly can attack the basket.

"Guard against him!"

Vicky was shocked and reached out and pinched the assistant coach's shoulder. Gasped at the poor assistant coach.

"Bang dang!"

Zheng Ke turned into a two-handed dunk in the air, and the basketball hoop let out an overwhelmed moan.

Zheng Ke's shooting percentage was above 60 percent in the regular season, and one of the important reasons was that he was very good at seizing opportunities in offensive and defensive rotations such as fast breaks. Zheng Ke's shooting percentage under the basket is as high as more than 80 percent, which is higher than anyone in the league.

** Vicky made a point of emphasizing that in the second half of the game, it is better to pay attention to the problem of defending Zheng Ke, and it is best to cut him off from the rest of the Timberwolves players. didn't expect that Zheng Ke would be able to get an offensive opportunity so easily.

Ginobili faced Afflaro on the perimeter, and Afflaro defended tightly, just as Jefferson stuck to Zheng Ke.

Ginobili made a small move, did a crotch dribble and then controlled the ball with his left hand, leaning on Afraro with his body "weak", and then the two of them entangled and killed inside. Duncan's pick-and-roll came at the right time, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Ginobili to face the Timberwolves inside.

Ginobili stepped to the basket and hit a two-point shot in front of Love. 52 to 50.

Timberwolves' offensive chances. This time, Zheng Ke changed his offensive style and ran outside to block Billups. Zheng Ke's figure is not too wide, and the effect of blocking and dismantling is far less than that of Lefu and Little Jordan. But Parker still gave a slight delay, and then Billups took advantage of the situation to shoot the Spurs' inside, and Zheng Ke withdrew from outside the three-point line. Billups disrupted the Spurs defense and sent the ball to the outside of Zheng Ke with a low hand.

Zheng Ke faced Parker, occupied the height advantage, and directly chose the dry pull-up jumper.

Three-point shot, 55-50, Zheng Ke scored 7 points in a row in the third quarter, and the audience immediately began to send "MVP" calls.

The Spurs struggled to form an effective defense against Zheng, and their offensive success rate was not 100 percent. In this round of offense, Duncan's mid-range jumper failed to score, and the rebound was taken into Lefou's arms. After that, both teams missed shots in a few rounds each, and the score rose slowly.

With 7 minutes left in the third quarter, Zheng Ke ran back to the bottom line.

Lefou's beautiful ground-hitting pass was handed to Zheng Ke, who shook off Jefferson's defense. The veteran McDees on the inside changed the defense, and Zheng Ke accelerated and rushed straight to the basket. When he was about to collide with McDyes, Zheng took a big step and stepped into the middle with his left foot, and McDécee adjusted his body and jumped up to block. Zheng Ke stepped out of his right foot, twisted his body in the air, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and after a beautiful 180-degree turn in the air, he dunked the ball with his backhand.

A pleasing attack, Zheng Ke's natural imagination is amazing.

This is a game for Zheng Ke, at least the Spurs' defensive system has not been able to bring much trouble to Zheng Ke, the inside line seems to be Duncan sitting, but he is really lacking in skills when he is restrained by Lefou. In the entire third quarter, Zheng Ke scored 19 points and 2 assists, including 2 of 2 three-pointers.

The Timberwolves led by as many as 10 points at 78-68 at the end of the third quarter, and the difference between the two teams was already very obvious.

Webb said: "Zheng Ke's explosiveness may not be the strongest among the players I've seen, but he is definitely the most perfect overall physical fitness. His combination of technique and physicality is fantastic, and his all-round skills and top-tier defensive ability make it easy for him to get statistics in all five areas: scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks. ”

Van Gundy said: "The gap between the Spurs and the Timberwolves in the third quarter has been obvious, and the Spurs' team tactics are still no match for a rebellious figure like Zheng Ke after all. ”

In the fourth quarter, Thibodeau struck while the iron was hot and kept Zheng Ke on the court to play, hoping that Zheng Ke could lead the Timberwolves to defeat the Spurs in one fell swoop. Billups and Love were rested, and the Timberwolves kept the lineup of Zheng Ke, Lowry, Thorton, Gibson and Pekovic on the court, in this lineup, only Zheng Ke was selected as an All-Star, and the Spurs on the court George Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, Duncan and Blair lineup, the middle three people have been selected as All-Stars, if the competition for stars, the Timberwolves are extremely bleak.

In the playoffs last season, Duncan repaired Gibson, and this year the Timberwolves are back, and Gibson has long been gearing up to get back on the court.

Gibson pressed Duncan against his waist and didn't give an inch. Duncan took a small step forward, but he didn't have the strength to continue pushing, his left shoulder sank slightly, his right foot turned around as an axis, and then he chose a hook hand with his left hand. The Spurs hit two points from the board, and the Spurs recovered the two-point difference.

Zheng Ke is on the court, and the Timberwolves have the backbone. Without Love, Zheng Ke's low post was also greatly ineffective, and he chose to guide his teammates on the outside, making up his mind to focus on passing the ball on the offensive side.

The Timberwolves have raised a group of talented younger brothers, and Zheng Ke's correct approach as the boss is to give up the stage at the right time and leave it to the younger brothers to perform, fight, and grow. So the Spurs gave Zheng Ke a lot of attention, but Zheng Ke didn't make any big moves after the start of the fourth quarter.

However, the other players of the Timberwolves, who have cooperated with him for a long time, understand what Zheng Ke means very well, and Thorton's pull-up layup after a breakthrough is amazing, and it is in the limelight for a while.

The difference between the two teams has not changed much, and in the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, Zheng Ke made a steal, did not look at the pass behind the person, and assisted Afflalo to dunk. This was Zheng Ke's 10th assist in the game, and after this assist, Zheng Ke also completed a triple-double of 39 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

With 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs trailed by 10 points, and Zheng Ke took advantage of Jordan Jr.'s block to break into the Spurs' hinterland. Zheng Ke was very fast, controlled the ball and smashed into the paint area. Duncan's consciousness was outstanding, and he let go of Lefu in front of Zheng Ke, opened his arms, and assumed the posture of a defender.

The two went head-to-head, Zheng Ke took the ball and got strong, his right hand almost leveled the basketball, and flew to the basket in the form of a tomahawk dunk. Duncan also jumped, but it was obviously a big cut behind Zheng Ke. The two collided in the air, and with Duncan's weight, they were also knocked out of balance by Zheng Ke's huge impact, and flew backwards uncontrollably. Duncans in the air,

gave birth to the idea of regret, Zheng Ke's body was too outrageous, and he couldn't live it with ordinary people at all.

"Bang!" The loudspeakers make a loud noise.

Zheng Ke dunked the ball past Duncan, and Duncan staggered and fell off the baseline. Zheng Ke just finished exerting the impact and landed straight on the ground, his upper body leaning back to balance his body. Then Zheng Ke's blood surged into his heart, and he couldn't control his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and on his clenched arms, the green tendons and muscles burst out, and the whole person was full of a sense of strength.

There was the loudest cheer of the night from the Target Center, and the fans roared hoarsely. Zheng Ke blocked Duncan on the stage of the playoffs, and this scene is destined to remain in people's minds for more than ten years, or even decades, like Jordan blocking Ewing, and become an eternal classic picture.
