The basket "buzzed" and trembled, reflecting the earth-shattering power of the dunk man.

The Toyota Center Arena suddenly let out a gasp, and everyone looked at the domineering man under the basket in amazement, forgetting to boo.

Zheng Ke looked at the camera, his head tilted slightly, and he didn't speak, but the surrounding Rocket players could clearly feel the arrogance on him.

"Cut, what's arrogant." Brooks glanced at Zheng Ke with slanted eyes, his heart full of resentment.

The Rockets served from the baseline, and his little short legs moved quickly, rushing to the front court in the blink of an eye.

"Whew!"

Brooks made a wrong step, his calf exploded with power, and his body instantly accelerated, cutting through Billups' defense like a shadow, and bursting into the interior before the Timberwolves players could react, Anderson was pushed behind by Yao Ming, and then simply hit a layup with a low hand.

", that's too wide." Anderson watched the little man who was less than 1.8 meters in front of him go to the basket, not to mention how angry he was.

He slapped the ball hard and sent it to Billups, who was expressionless.

In fact, the 33-year-old Billups is not as mobile as before, and Brooks, who is extremely fast defensively, is also a little struggling, and can only rely on his rich experience to suppress Little Black Bean.

The most annoying thing is that Yao Ming's role in the interior is too great, card people, attract defense, single offense, etc., he made a few single shots in the first quarter without missing a shot, as if he was going to be determined to shoot on the head of Anderson, who was only 2.08 meters, to help the Rockets suppress the Timberwolves on the court.

End of the first session. The Rockets lead the Timberwolves 29-23.

Zheng Ke lowered his head and walked back to the bench in silence, his expression solemn. After taking a sip of the water cup handed by the staff, he took a big sip of water and sat down on the bench.

No one knew what Zheng was thinking, but he continued to perform efficiently in the first quarter, scoring 11 points and two rebounds on 4-of-6 shooting, and the cameras often caught him and gave him close-ups.

"Tough Team Rocket." Billups made an assessment.

"That's true." Zheng Ke's eyes were like torches. Staring at the players on both sides of the game, he felt the pressure the Rockets were putting on them.

"From inside to outside, from the start to the bench, it's all perfect. No. 1 in the league in attack power. Billups said after looking at Yao Ming, Scola, and Maddie.

After coming off the bench in the second quarter. Artest is like a tiger out of the gate. Resisted Brewer twice for the basket and shot a three-pointer at the top of the arc head-on in the face of the defender. He's almost like a superstar, he can do anything, and he has a lot more fighting spirit and unquenchable energy than Odom.

Three minutes later, Whitman brought Zheng Ke on an emergency replacement.

"Hey, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Artest rapped a little. He said to Zheng Ke quickly, with a flame burning in his eyes.

"Hmph." Zheng Ke didn't bother to talk to him. Snorted coldly and ignored it.

It was Channing Fry who served the ball on the sideline, and he distributed it to Lowry, who came out to catch the ball.

It was Zheng Ke who did the blocking and dismantling for Lowry, and with Artest defending, Zheng Ke didn't want to talk directly to this barbarian, and after communicating with Lowry, he felt that he could use the blocking and dismantling to carry out a misplaced attack.

The ground was so solid that Weaver even lost Lori's direction of action from his vision. Weaver arrived in the Rockets' training camp last summer, and the attacking guard was favored by head coach McHale and was given a chance to play. This season has been Weaver's best season since entering the NBA, playing in 63 games, starting 11 games, averaging 9.7 points in 19.4 times per game, shooting 39 percent from three-point range, and gradually becoming an important rotation on the Rockets' bench.

Lowry moved extremely fast, and Artest had to give up his defense against Zheng Ke and pounce on Lowry.

As soon as Atai left, Zheng Ke staggered the distance between him and Lowry, stuck Weaver with his back, and at the same time stretched out his long arm and began to ask Lowry for the ball.

"Smack" Zheng Ke put his hands together and turned his body, this distance is too far, he needs to push a little.

There was no rapid breakthrough, no savage crushing, just two ordinary steps forward, and then Zheng Ke turned his back to Weaver. At this time, the players around him had already pulled away, and Zheng Ke also found the shooting point he was most familiar with.

He jerked his back and knocked Weaver away, turning around and throwing a step-back jumper. "Huh!"

It was such a simple action, but in Zheng Ke's body, it turned decay into magic, and Weaver threw himself forward with all his strength, and he could only touch Zheng Ke's elbow. "Bag, Ron!" Coach Adelman on the sidelines was obviously very dissatisfied with Zheng Ke's goal, because it seemed too easy, which was extremely inconsistent with his tactical idea of pressing Zheng Ke's shot before the game, so he roared at Artest on the court.

Artest's face changed, and he scolded in his heart: "Quarrel with your sister, dead old man." “

After taking over the basketball, Artest attacked Zheng Ke, but his offensive skills were really not flattering, and he didn't even do a full set of feints, and looked at the direction and chiseled inside. Zheng Ke smiled, how could he be afraid of such a breakthrough with infinite divine power all over his body, so he straightened his chest and bravely greeted it. "Bang!"

The two of them were like two brute beasts coming out of the mountains and forests, and the sound of muscles colliding together was clearly heard by the players on the field, making the rocket players' eyes almost fall out. It turns out that there are really people in this world who dare to fight Artest head-on, and both of them are physically strong.

Artest didn't believe in evil, so he just retreated and bumped into it again.

But this time, he hadn't hit Zheng Ke's body yet, and Zheng Ke flew out screaming as if he had been hit by a locomotive, and he was a foot away. "Toot, toot ~ Rocket No. 96, offensive foul!"

Not to mention Zheng Ke's superstar status, Artest's dangerous moves that he couldn't help but make were enough for the referee to blow an offensive foul.

Zheng Ke took the palm of his teammate's outstretched hand, and under the pull of his teammate, he stood up, and he secretly gave Artest a defiant look.

Artest was so furious that he almost couldn't help but rush up and beat him. "Calm down, calm down! I want to calm down! He calmed the inside rim with force, almost self-hypnosis, and then ran back to the defense without looking back.

He came to the Rockets for the championship, and this year is the closest he has to a championship, and he really paid a lot for the championship, even if Adelman told him to let him play as a substitute. At this moment, with great perseverance, he calmed his mentality, and he wanted to use his performance on the basketball court to fight back against Zheng Ke's provocation.

Timberwolves offense.

Zheng Ke and Lowry did a pick-and-roll again, and Lowry easily got another chance to get rid of Weaver. The reason why Weaver has been on the move in the past few years is that his black hole defense is one of the important reasons.

Artest didn't speak, and he took a big step and stuck in front of Lowry.

The corners of Lowry's mouth turned up slightly, and when he saw that Zheng Ke was already stuck in the main position, he wanted to pass the ball over with a strike.

A large, swarthy hand appeared in vain in the path of the basketball rebound. "Smack!"

It was Artest's steal, he made a judgment in advance, and quickly cut off Lowry's pass, like a black whirlwind, he blew towards the front. "Oops!"

Zheng Ke was full of joy just now, but he didn't expect to make a mistake in a blink of an eye, although Artest did not have the top speed, but under such a lead, he still rushed to the front court quickly. Zheng Ke estimated the distance and gave up this defense. "Bang!"

He held the basketball high, bent his legs back, and slammed the ball into the frame like a glider.

At 39-30, the Rockets led by nine points.

Although Zheng Ke's play curbed the Rockets' continued momentum of expanding the point difference, it was difficult for him to chase the score back. Artest is like eating gunpowder, using explosive performance to counter Zheng Ke's provocation, and Zheng Ke and Lowry's blocking and dismantling are not always successful, once they fail, Zheng Ke's offensive efficiency in the face of Artest's defense decreases a lot.

After many main players came on the court, the Rockets put together the starting lineup of Brooks, Maddy, Artest, Scola and Yao Ming, and even Battier, a fierce man who was selected for the best defensive lineup, did not have a chance to play in the second quarter, and the horror of the Rockets lineup can be seen.

At halftime, the Rockets led by 13 points at 59-46, and Yao Ming didn't miss a single shot in the half, scoring 16 points and grabbing six rebounds on 7-of-7 shooting. "Tough Team Rocket." Zheng smiled bitterly and walked into the locker room (to be continued......)
