Chapter 269: Victory and Birthday

"Bang!"

Zheng Ke turned into two hands with one hand and made a loud noise. With the help of this inertia, he swung around the basketball hoop like Tarzan.

Mayo under the basketball hoop looked up at him and felt the domineering in Zheng Ke from the bottom of his heart.

It's an unstoppable domineering, his strength, his speed, his impact makes him an invincible presence in this offense of offense and defense.

The Timberwolves' defensive strategy was a success, and by the time Ty Lawson came in, the Grizzlies didn't even have the right person to limit the extraordinarily fast small fighter.

Ty Lawson had the best game of his rookie season so far.

Scored 12 points in a single quarter!

Neither Mayo nor Conley could prevent him. Not to mention the Grizzlies' backup point guard, Marcus Williams, who can only eat ash behind Lawson's ass when he is running all over the court. In addition, Lawson's hand feeling is also good today, not only layups and throws, but also mid-range pull-up jump shots after passing.

The Grizzlies wanted to cry without tears.

The Timberwolves outscored the Grizzlies 32-20 in the second quarter and extended their advantage to 15 points at halftime.

"The Timberwolves are really perverted, who is the No. 5 guy in this Timberwolves? It's really fast. A Grizzlies fan, a slightly older Grizzlies fan in the stands, watched in amazement as Ty Lawson, most of whom didn't know Ty Lawson, on the court.

Beside him stood a young fan, with his hair braided, and said, "Aaron Iverson is also very fast. It's a pity he didn't come to our grizzly bears. Otherwise, huh"

"It's really okay to say that the Timberwolves have a roster this year. Last year's main team for winning the championship remained largely unchanged. Iverson, Brad Miller, etc. have been brought in from the bench, and I feel like the Timberwolves can win a championship this year. ”

Grizzlies fans in the stands are not only chatting about everything about the Grizzlies, but the visiting Timberwolves, the favorites and defending champions, are also part of the conversation conversation.

At the start of the second half, the Grizzlies made the offense more slow. One is to save physical strength. Second, in order to play the Grizzlies' half-court offense, Randolph attacked more ferociously on the inside.

During this time, Lefu was the hardest player for the Timberwolves. In the face of Randolph, who can shoot suddenly, has amazing strength, and rebounds fiercely, Lefu must be 120 percent spirited. Even so. Randolph still has a double-double of 24 points and 10 rebounds.

"Dead fat!" When Randolph stepped back again and hit a mid-range jumper, Love couldn't help but explode, of course, he was the only one who heard the scene.

This is a very flexible dead fat man, and the championship member Lefu was "beaten" by him to the point of disgrace.

However, as Zheng Ke said, no matter how powerful Randolph is, he is just one person. Before the ability did not transcend many stars, and did not become a god like Joe's gang leader. There's no way he's going to pick five. "Smack!"

Gasol made an imaginative ground-hitting pass that went straight to Randolph, who cut through the baseline.

"Drink!"

Randolph roared and shouted, his swarthy arms like the thick arms of a black bear, standing high in the air, his stumble and his hands swinging down, weighing more than 260 pounds hanging from the basket, bending the basketball hoop downward.

Seeing this scene, Brewer's eyes lit up. He turned his head to look at Pekovic, who was also sitting on the bench, and said in a tone of hatred: "Look at the people, they are all European players, this pass, this strategy, tsk"

Pekovic: ""

Towards the end of the third quarter, Whitman replaced Love and others with Gibson and the other boys. "It's cool when there are a lot of people, you can change the new force to go to the game at any time!" Whitman touched his chin and thought slightly smugly.

Randolph is already at the end of the game, and in the third quarter of the game, the data of 26 points and 12 rebounds can be said to be a super-level performance. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies are still 17 points behind the Timberwolves!

This trench-like disparity in strength makes people feel hopeless and painful.

On the other side, the Timberwolves' bench was full of laughter, both Zheng Ke and Iverson maintained a bright smile, and there was no pressure or nervousness on their faces. "Maybe we don't have to shoot at all in the fourth quarter," this is Zheng Ke's thought.

This is a normal idea, and the Timberwolves have done this game many times this season to get their opponents in three quarters, and Zheng Ke played 29 minutes in the third quarter today, scoring 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting. If he doesn't play in the fourth quarter, he can't continue to 25+, but it can be seen from the shooting percentage that his game efficiency is getting more and more amazing.

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves failed to ignite their enthusiasm for chasing points. Both Rudy Gay, the current central player, and Zach Randolph, the team's strongest attacking point, are in a decadent manner, and they have exhausted all their physical energy in front of their respective players. Rudy Gay made just 5 of 14 shots and dished out four turnovers in the third quarter. These four turnovers may not be high for players who have played about 40 minutes, but if these four mistakes are all steals and mistakes by Zheng Ke, or drop the ball because of the help defense, the problem is serious.

Because with the Timberwolves' superb fast-break level, these mistakes will be converted into scores!

In this way, in fact, the Grizzlies' problem today is still on offense. Despite Randolph's reputation for attacking the ground on the inside, overall, the Grizzlies made too many undesirable mistakes on the outside, which kept the Grizzlies in a passive position throughout the game. After the game, Fagan, a well-known basketball commentator, wrote in his basketball commentary column.

"We played a very classic Timberwolves-style victory." Whitman faced reporters and said calmly: "We've always been inclined, Zheng Ke and Iverson have done a good job of connecting our defensive intensity, you know, they both contributed a total of seven tackles in the game, and they did a great job. ”

The Timberwolves' win over the Grizzlies extended their winning streak to five, and they gradually caught up with the leading group before the rest of the Western Conference could react.

The momentum to catch up with the first group is very strong, especially after the narrow victory over the Mavericks and the big win over the Clippers, the Timberwolves have climbed to the head of the Nuggets, Spurs and Rockets, in the West, the Timberwolves lost three games only to the Los Angeles Lakers, who have only lost two games so far.

After the Timberwolves won seven in a row, it was the longest winning streak in the NBA so far this season, and finally attracted people's audiences, and media reporters flew to Minnesota to interview Timberwolves representative Zheng Ke for his thoughts on this.

"It's cool, but it's not a big deal." Zheng Ke said, his expression as calm as ever: "The season has just begun, and no one knows what will happen next?" You know, it's the Timberwolves who are winning streak today, and it's the Lakers and the Cavaliers who are winning in a streak tomorrow. ”

Dealing with these reporters, Zheng Ke is already handy, if someone who cares about these words goes to the newspaper, they will find that Zheng Ke said similar things when the Timberwolves won a streak last year, this guy is moving closer to the "old treacherous and cunning".

Of course, not all reporters are interested in Zheng Ke's rhetoric, after the Timberwolves' in-team training game that day, a reporter asked Zheng Ke: "Zheng, if I am not mistaken, today seems to be your son's first birthday, is it to give him a grand celebration?" ”

"Aha." Zheng Ke was a little surprised, he didn't expect these reporters to notice such details, he hesitated for a while, and said, "I won't hold a birthday that is too grand." You know, he's just a kid now, and I thought, there's no game today, so his mom and I are going to be with him today, and the two of us and his grandparents, and his maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, are going to throw him a little family birthday party. ”

"Won't you invite anyone else?"

"yes, you know, it's my birthday in a few days, and I'll probably invite someone else to be there then. And today, I just want to celebrate my son's first birthday in a quiet way. Zheng Ke explained.

"Then I'm here to wish you and your son a happy birthday!" The reporter is obviously from Minnesota, and he did not forget to send sincere wishes.

"Thank you." Zheng Ke folded his hands, nodded in thanks, and left the training hall (to be continued......)
