The audience raised their hands for the first time, and they cheered enthusiastically, reluctant to leave the venue for a long time.

The Timberwolves players, the members of the coaching staff who rushed to the court, and the reporters of the major media surrounded Zheng Ke. The closest to Zheng Ke was Little Jordan, his expression was the same as that of the audience, he looked crazy, hugged Zheng Ke, and whispered something in Zheng Ke's ear. Then there were the other Timberwolves players, Billups, Love, Gibson, Brewer, and everyone more or less stretched out their arms to touch the current Zheng Ke.

The reporters couldn't squeeze this group of big men, they were in the outermost position, and they wanted to ask a lot of questions, but they didn't have a chance.

Unlike the Timberwolves players who were caught in a binge, the Spurs players were depressed to the extreme, and they lowered their heads and returned to the locker room without saying a word.

At the press conference, Duncan bluntly said that the game was played aggrieved. "We worked hard all night and kept closing the gap on the Timberwolves, and with just over a second left in the game, we did what we could. But the result was disappointing, Zheng Ke scored the decisive goal, and we need to rediscover our way of playing the game the day after tomorrow and in the future. ”

"Bobo" Vicky said that the Timberwolves are not invincible, luck is on the side of the Timberwolves, the series has just begun, and the Spurs have a good chance of winning.

Jung Ke became the superhero of the evening, fitting the script arranged by any director. He had a triple-double of 54 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, shooting 6-of-9 from three-point range and shaking off Jefferson with 1.74 seconds left in the game. However, he was extremely modest at the press conference, "We played hard, the Spurs are an incredible team, they almost turned the game around with a group offense. I was lucky enough to score that goal, but the game wasn't going to give me a chance to hit every time. We need to do a lot more to do it. ”

The Spurs lost the game, but the bookmaker's odds for the Spurs series were falling.

Experts bluntly said that the Timberwolves did not get much advantage in front of the old Spurs, and the outcome of this round of the series is unpredictable. The Timberwolves have problems defensively, not just on the inside, but also on the outside, giving the Spurs too many chances. Danny Green, who was previously unknown, became famous and became the focus of attention after this game. It has also become the best evidence for experts to argue that the Timberwolves' outside defense is full of holes in the fourth quarter.

The Western Spurs and Timberwolves are inseparable, while the Eastern Bulls and Heat are one-sided.

The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, a big battle on the Bulls' home court. The Chicago Bulls beat the Heat by 21 points 103-82, giving the Heat, who have been going into the playoffs well, a blow in the face. Bosh scored a game-high 30 points and nine rebounds, while Wade and James combined for just 12 of 32 shooting, counting the total number of points. The big boss plus the second boss has a total of only 33 points, just 3 points higher than the three masters.

The Heat suffered a crushing defeat to Chicago, and the newspaper media immediately began to look down on James.

Regardless of whether what they say is reasonable or not, this kind of kung fu is probably unmatched by other industries.

Zheng Ke returned home after the game, and during the playoffs, several Timberwolves kids who love to go to nightclubs also restrained a lot. Zheng Ke's role model and leading role make them obediently retain their energy. Thibodeau also banned the nightlife of Timberwolves players before the playoffs began, forcing players to focus on work.

After two days of rest, the second match between the two teams started again in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

Still in the center of this lively atmosphere, the fans still wore the blue playoff commemorative jersey representing the Minnesota Timberwolves. The visual rush of the blue sea is very amazing, and the cheering sound arranged by the DJ is like pre-game training, neat and loud.

If it were an ordinary rookie, he would have been frightened by such a battle a long time ago. But not Spurs.

Their only concern is whether the referees will panic in such a battle and blow a whistle that will not be in favor of the Spurs, commonly known as the home whistle.

The game was about to start, and the camera gave a close-up of Zheng Ke who was preparing, causing a burst of cheers from the audience.

Zheng Ke is now a veritable king of popularity, perhaps not as tall as Duncan in history, but when it comes to the number of fans around the world. Duncan is far inferior to Zheng Ke. This is due to a number of reasons, the position of the two, the nationality of the two, the experience of the two, the performance of the two on the pitch

Zheng greeted Duncan, who had always admired his loyalty and stability.

The Timberwolves' starting five were Billups and Afralo. Zheng Ke, Love and Jordan Jr., the Spurs' starting five were Parker, Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Duncan and McDyes.

In the predictions of pre-game experts, the Timberwolves, who have the home court advantage, still have a high chance of winning.

Zheng Ke is in his prime, according to his physical condition, there are at least ten years to go to the peak, and the battle with the Spurs is basically a true portrayal of his peak battle, a perfect combination of physical fitness and skill. No one is as mature and powerful as Zheng Ke when he is less than 23 years old, and in this regard, he is the first.

The game started with Jordan Jr. jumping the ball to win. The Timberwolves pressed all the way up, and Billups dribbled through the halfcourt. Jordan Jr. covered high and Zheng Ke bypassed Jefferson's defense and received a pass from Billups from the side. McDyce and Jefferson surrounded Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke turned, controlled the ball to one side, and then nimbly passed through the gap between the two like a cat, followed the basketball that rolled forward, and single-handedly entered the penalty area.

Zheng Ke dodged Duncan's block in the air and hit a layup from a small angle to take a 2-0 lead. The big man defends the small man, and he is afraid that the little man will make all kinds of unbelievable moves in the air, so that O'Neal will defend Iverson, and he will also feel at a loss.

The Timberwolves scored a goal when they came up, and it was scored by Zheng Ke, and the fans immediately cheered. Praise and applause flew towards Zheng Ke, and there were crazy female fans everywhere who wrote "willing to have a child for Zheng Ke".

The Spurs attacked, and Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Zheng Ke defended Jefferson, Afraro clinged to Ginobili, Lefouka was behind Duncan, and Jordan Jr. let go of McDyce by half a step, his eyes on the dynamics of the court, ready to make up for the penalty area. Parker handed the ball to Ginobili, Ginobili and Duncan played a pick-and-roll combination, and Duncan hit a mid-range shot to tie the game 2-2.

The Timberwolves attacked, Love withdrew inside, and Zheng fell to the low post to single Jefferson.

The difference between the Timberwolves and Lefu and Lefu appeared, when there was Lefou, the entire restricted area became empty, and Zheng Ke could have more space to play alone, and last season without Lefou, the Spurs wantonly wrapped Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke was able to react quickly as soon as he passed.

Zheng Ke shook in the middle and turned over counterclockwise and hit a jumper, 4-2.

Zheng Ke opened with two goals in a row, and he looked quite good. "Bobo" Vic's face darkened, and he finally felt Zheng Ke's difficulty like other coaches, he couldn't prevent it alone, and he had to miss others in the bag, but the Timberwolves had three shooter-level players on the outside, and the firepower was very fierce. The year before last, the Timberwolves relied on the lineup of Zheng Ke and four shooters (Channing Fry) to deeply reach the finals and lift the championship trophy.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by 5 points 25-20, and Zheng Ke had 10 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs bench lineup led by George Hill and the Timberwolves bench lineup led by Lowry faced off. Some people say that the Spurs are like a legion up and down. This is true, in the Spurs team, even the bench will play very calmly, and it will also show the rock characteristics that belong to the Spurs.

This is a natural result of the Spurs' long-standing team culture, from George "Iceman" Gervin to "Admiral" Robinson, from "Bobo" Vicky to "Stone Buddha" Duncan, the Spurs have always had such a tradition that the bench players were naturally infected. Coupled with the daily adjustment of "Bobo" Vic, the Spurs' bench players' ability to execute tactics is not inferior to that of the main players, and even exceeds the tactical execution of the vast majority of teams in the NBA.

And the Timberwolves' bench is another scene, with absolute physical talent, and a group of young men with strength comparable to the starters form the bench bandits. The confrontation between the two was like a duel between their weakened versions of the starters, and the cheers of the fans in the stadium were very lively.

The starters of both teams then came on in turn, with Zheng Ke coming on in the seventh minute of the second quarter, a minute later than the senior Duncan. Now that the players of both teams are fighting, "Bobo" Vic is also ruthless, giving Duncan 42 minutes of playing time in the last game, and this game is only a lot more.

Webb said: "In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs were still able to play against the Timberwolves, which is really amazing, and it shows that at least this league is not a situation where the Timberwolves are dominant." ”

Next to him was Van Gundy Jr., who smiled: "Although the two teams are still in a state of stalemate, the Timberwolves team is younger and feels more physically advantageous. If the game drags on to the last minute, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Spurs to get the final victory. ”

"Not necessarily!" Webber raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Don't forget that in the last moment of the last game, the same exhausted Spurs, but they were able to keep narrowing the difference, and even scored a quasi-killer goal by Manu!" ”

Webber represents many of today's neutral fans, and the powerful Timberwolves seem to be playing the villain role. The Spurs, who were not so brilliant compared to their previous records, played the role of a relative underdog and received the sympathy of most people.

Before halftime, the Timberwolves and Spurs were tied at 48. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m.qidian to read. )9
