The Spurs are still the best team in the league, and from the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves were in a struggle, Duncan's restricted area defense was too strong, and Jefferson tried to single Duncan a few, but the effect was very unsatisfactory, and the shooting percentage was dismal, and then Whitman asked for a timeout.

Whitman asked the other players, especially Zheng Ke, to step up and step up when Jefferson was blocked inside, and he encouraged everyone to attack, to be brave and to show their talent

But the Timberwolves' outside feel is not good, McCantz and Zheng Ke and others have a very poor shooting touch, Zheng Ke made three outside shots in the first quarter without hitting any of them, and only relied on free throws after rushing into the interior to get 2 points in the first quarter

The atmosphere of the entire target center is very dull, which is not common, you know, the target center has always been one of the most popular stadiums in the league today, especially the rise of Zheng Ke, which has stimulated the Chinese fan market in this area of Minnesota, plus the Timberwolves often upset and often stage a good show of sling counterattacks, so fans still like this Timberwolves very much. Before the game against the Spurs, everyone still fantasized about the Timberwolves taking over the Spurs, but now it seems that this game may become a one-sided situation

In the second quarter, the Spurs switched to the second lineup, and the Argentine demon knife appeared!

Ginobili's demon knife is the sharpest knife in the Spurs, he has All-Star level strength but is willing to be a substitute in the Spurs, of course, we admire Ginobili's loyalty at the same time, we also feel the Spurs management's ability to win people's hearts and Popovich's personality, compared to Harden, Ginobili is more liked by coaches and fans

Since Zheng Ke ascended to the first echelon of the Timberwolves, the second echelon of the Timberwolves has no outside defensive gate, and everyone has no rules

In this case, the Spurs' second team still maintained a strong discipline, Ginobili seemed to be the core player of the Spurs on the court, he led the Spurs to instantly burst the Timberwolves' benches, and by the time the main team came on the court, the Timberwolves had fallen behind by 14 points at 30-44 The second quarter of the game ended, and the Timberwolves trailed by 17 points at 38-55

Zheng Ke smiled bitterly, the Spurs' defense is too strong, layer after layer, in the case of the Timberwolves losing their touch on the outside, they can't open this iron bucket formation at all, no wonder the little emperor fell under the iron hooves of the Spurs last year

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Timberwolves' outside touch recovered slightly, McCantz hit a three-pointer, and then Zheng Ke chased down Ginobili's layup on the defense, boosting the morale of the Timberwolves to the freezing point and playing a wave of 8-0.

But the old spicy Popovich immediately called a timeout.

After the pause, Duncan singled inside, immediately used his feet to shake up the space, hit the board with a small hook and caused a foul on the Johninfrye who made up the defense, stabilized the situation on the court in one fell swoop while suppressing the rising momentum of the Timberwolves, and then Jarric made a mistake, and was directly cut off by Parker when dribbling, and the French sports car ran to the front court to hit a layup, Zheng Ke was too far away from him to reach the dust

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 18 points, 60-78!

In the zuihou section, Whitman did not replace the main force to do Zuihou's desperate fight, but the effect was not ideal, the Spurs were still as stable as a rock, and the Timberwolves failed to recover the point difference after a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, but there was a feeling that it was getting bigger and bigger, and when Zuihou was 5 minutes, Whitman replaced all the main forces and announced his surrender

In the end, the Spurs won 103-84 against the Timberwolves with six players on the road, and Zheng Ke did not perform well to get 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks on 3-of-11 shooting

After the game against the Spurs, the Timberwolves face the Rockets on Saturday.

Although Yao Ming is absent, the overall strength of the Rockets is still higher than that of the Timberwolves, especially not long ago when they won a wave of 22 consecutive wins, and the morale of the whole team is high.

Zheng Ke has a heavy task, and he is the Timberwolves who defend Maddy.

This is a strange game, the Rockets grabbed frontcourt rebounds one after another, such as Scola, he scored 18 rebounds in the whole game, including 5 frontcourt rebounds, such as Uncle Mutombomu, he only played 18 minutes but also grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds, and Battier also had 4 frontcourt rebounds, and the remaining one person had a frontcourt rebound, that is to say, as long as the Rockets were out of the game, they all had frontcourt rebounds! The team grabbed a total of 20 frontcourt rebounds!

The Timberwolves only had 7 frontcourt rebounds, and the Rockets had a total of 58 rebounds in the whole team, and the Timberwolves had only 38!

Whitman watched like thunder from the sidelines, but there was really no way, although the whole Timberwolves team was already very careful, but the Rockets could still pick up the frontcourt rebounds, and after a few clicks, they would always be in the hands of the Rockets

In the whole game, the Rockets defeated the Timberwolves 97-86, Maddy shot 9 of 25, got 23 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, a luxurious quasi-triple-double data! Zheng Ke was much inferior, but he also changed the small slump in the last game, scoring 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting, including 2-of-3 three-pointers

The Rockets shot 40-of-94, 4-of-19 from three-point range and 13-of-17 from the free-throw line, while the Timberwolves only made 33 of 77 shots, 6-of-13 from three-point range and 14-of-19 from the free-throw line

After the Timberwolves vs. Rockets game, there is only one game left in March.

On Monday, the Timberwolves traveled to Salt Lake City to take on the Jazz, the second time this season that the Timberwolves have traveled to Salt Lake City to take on the Jazz.

According to Zheng Ke's words, going to Salt Lake City is not about competition, but about fighting

The whole game process was indeed as Zheng Ke expected, the Jazz team entertained the Timberwolves with a lot of small actions, making the Timberwolves angry, and the scene was very hot for a while

Deron and Boozer's blocking is really difficult to prevent, and the Timberwolves have nothing to do with the two of them, so they can only watch Deron brush assists and Boozer brush score.

The entire Jazz's three-point shot has not been opened, which also allowed Whitman to deploy the whole team's strategy of shrinking defense, and the Timberwolves have been able to keep biting the score.

It wasn't until the moment of the game that the winner was decided, and with a minute left in the game, Deron hit the Jazz's first three-pointer of the game, but it was this three-pointer that gave the Jazz a 6-point lead over the Timberwolves at 106-100! All of a sudden, the situation became very unfavorable for the Timberwolves!

At the critical moment, Whitman laid out Jefferson's inside singles tactics.

The Timberwolves handed the ball to Jefferson on the inside after guiding the ball a few times on the outside, and it was Boozer's shining "two or five boys" who defended Jefferson!

Boozer has never been known for his defense, but this time he was rare and tough, and his tendons and flesh were not practiced in vain, and Jefferson couldn't hit him!

"Falk Squid!" Jefferson yelled in his heart, but he was helpless, seeing that the twenty-four seconds were about to expire, Jefferson had no choice but to force the shot!

"Smack!"

Boozer was a big surprise that he actually blocked Jefferson's shot! And it's not the kind of block that uses bounce and explosive power, it's a block similar to Duncan's use of the time difference!

The rebound was grabbed by Delon!

The time is only 40 seconds, but the Timberwolves are 6 points behind, and at this moment, I am afraid that only Maddie can save the Timberwolves.

Zuihou, the Jazz defeated the Timberwolves 110-103 at home!

In this game, Boozer got 25 points and 10 rebounds, Deron got a big double-double of 15 points and 15 assists, Jefferson still got a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds on the Timberwolves side, and Zheng Ke scored 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting

The Timberwolves ended the entire month of March with a three-game losing streak, starting with a losing streak and ending with a losing streak.

After the end of March, the entire regular season has come to an end, the Timberwolves only have 10 games in April, and there will be a holiday after playing, of course, other teams that have the opportunity to participate in the playoffs will usher in the most brutal playoffs, and the teams that have concentrated on the regular season will also completely release their fighting power on the bigger stage of the playoffs

The 22-year-old rookie of the month went to Al Horford, who averaged 11.3 points and 10.2 rebounds throughout March, beating Yi Jianlian with a double-double

In the Western Conference Rookie of the Year selection in March, the Supersonic Durant still beat Zheng Ke with an excellent performance of 21 points per game, but almost all experts praised Zheng Ke's performance

Throughout March, the Timberwolves performed well as a team, ranking 10th in the West in terms of record throughout March, especially Zheng Ke, who played an average of 34 minutes per game, scoring 15.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists! What's even more rare is that he is not a player who is good at offense, he is the defensive wing of the Timberwolves, and being able to score so many points really makes countless experts fall through the glasses, and now outside media experts say that Zheng Ke is the biggest pearl of the 07 draft!
