Chapter 155: Making a foul
After the Bobcats missed the playoffs again this summer, the team signed a deal with "Iron Coach" Larry Brown to hire the latter as the team's third head coach.
After Brown took over the Bobcats, he didn't have time to build the team he had in mind, but that didn't stop him from having an impact on the Bobcats. One of them is improved defense.
After the Timberwolves got their first offensive possession, the Bobcats defended decently, with Gerald Wallace playing a close defense against Zheng.
"I'm not going to let you score on my head easily!" Wallace said, in all seriousness.
"Humph!" Zheng Ke didn't speak, he saw a familiar figure already standing beside him, and he didn't have the time to trash talk to Wallace.
Zheng Ke followed up on Love's off-ball cover and shook off Wallace's close defense, Billups split the ball, Zheng dribbled two steps and faced Shaun May directly.
Sean May was the wizard in the '05 draft, the most famous player in the "North Carolina Four" that year, in the '05 NCAA Finals, he scored 26 points and 10 rebounds on 10-of-11 shooting, not only defeated the University of Illinois led by Deron Williams, allowing the University of North Carolina to regain the NCAA championship after 11 years, but also was elected to the highest honor of the MOP. Later, he was picked by the Bobcats with the thirteenth pick in the draft. But after entering the NBA, Sean May was plagued by injuries and multiple knee surgeries, which were reimbursed for the whole year last season. Although he has returned from injury now, he has lived up to the courage of the year
Zheng Ke saw this burly old man, and he didn't know that he was once a man of the hour, and seeing that he was a little far away from himself, he instinctively exerted force with one foot, driving the other foot and the whole body to jump.
"Huh!"
Zheng Ke landed on one foot and looked at him in surprise, the old man only symbolically stretched out his hand, lazily like a 50-year-old man.
"Beautiful pull-up jumper!" In the Bobcats' VIP room, Jordan exclaimed.
"That's not your style, Michael?" There was another man sitting in the private room, smiling and grinning with a goblet of red wine.
"I'm just telling the truth, Robert." Jordan spread his hands, looked very fair, and then said: "You see the posture of his shot, the height of his jump, it is almost the same as that little guy in Houston, you know, a year ago he was just a marginal person!" ”
"Well, Michael, I can see that you admire him." Robert took a sip of red wine, smacked his taste and said, "But the chance that you can win him over is probably less than five percent, right?" No, less than three percent. ”
"Hey~" Speaking of this, Jordan let out a long sigh and couldn't help admitting: "That's true, I see in his eyes his love for the Timberwolves, and also his desire for championships and victories, only if the Timberwolves can't win the championship before the end of his second contract, we have a chance to win him over, this is a person like me." ”
"Hehe," Robert chuckled
"Huh!"
In the first quarter, Zheng Ke rushed into the interior with his head in his hands, causing the Bobcats' defense to subconsciously shrink, and then he threw the ball to Afflaro on the outside.
Afflaro lived up to expectations and hit the near-buzzer-beating three-pointer.
With Filton missing a three-pointer from beyond range, the Timberwolves ended the first quarter with a 23-21 lead over the Bobcats.
Zheng Ke and others walked to the bench while ravaging Afflalo's hair, and his three-pointer greatly boosted the momentum of the Timberwolves. Everyone knows how hard Afraro worked to practice his three-point shot. Last season, Afflalo was just a hairy boy who was inaccurate on the outside, and his three-point shooting percentage has improved greatly this season, and he is really a very hard working young man. Players up and down the Timberwolves like him, and even fellow competitor Randy Foye is full of praise for him, bluntly saying that he is a real man.
In the second quarter of the game, the Timberwolves sent a lineup of Channing Free, Lowry, Randy Folye, Brewer, and Smith. It's a real run-and-gun lineup.
All of the Timberwolves players shot when they got the chance, and the offense was very fast.
On the Bobcats' side, DJ Augustine, Morrison, Dwyan-Jones, Dudley, and Mohammed have a slightly inferior lineup, Lowry is on a brute force rampage, and Augustine is miserable.
The Timberwolves relied on the advantage of the bench lineup and immediately played a wave of 7-2 mini-climax, and less than 3 minutes after coming off the bench, the Timberwolves led by 7 points at 30-23.
Larry Brown asked for a timeout.
Larry Brown thought about it, and finally replaced the older Muhammad and replaced it with Okafor, at this time the Bobcats need a figure like a needle to stabilize the morale of the army, he knows that Channingfrye is a well-known bamboo pole, playing this kind of player, even if Okafor's low-post offense is average, he should be able to score a few, right.
"As I expected!"
Larry Brown slammed his fist into the palm of his hand. After Okafor came on the court, he quickly stabilized the panicked Bobcats, Augustin first hit a mid-range shot with Okafor's block, and used Okafor's defensive end to fan Foye's layup, allowing Dudley to counterattack and make a layup.
After Okafor came on the court, he not only performed well on the defensive end, but also put pressure on the Timberwolves offensively. Just as Larry Brown expected, the overly thin Channingflye still couldn't withstand Okafor, and after being knocked away by Okafor, he completed a strong attack under the basket.
Seeing that the score was constantly being pulled closer, Whitman also panicked. His eyes swept around the bench, and Zuihou landed on Zheng Ke's body. His eyes flickered, revealing a cunning that he had never seen before, and secretly took Zheng Kra to his side, and commanded this and this in his ear.
"Zheng Ke also played early!" Seeing Zheng Ke stumble on the stage during a dead ball, Yu Jia, the host of the imperial court station, couldn't help but explain that he knew that their biggest task was to report on the dynamics of star players from time to time.
"Obviously, Coach Whitman has made targeted arrangements for the Bobcats, and Zheng Ke's appearance can largely alleviate the Timberwolves' scoring drought," Zhang pointed out. ”
"Nice break!" Staring at the screen, Yu Jia subconsciously exclaimed: "Zheng Ke has entered the inside line of the Bobcat!" Ball in! Okafor's hitter fouls, two plus one! ”
"If you come up, you'll make a meritorious service!" Zhang Weiping also explained on the side at this moment: "After Zheng Ke came up, in the face of Bobcat Dudley's defense, he changed direction in front of his body quickly, used his speed to kill the inside line, and completed the two plus one this time. ”
Zheng Ke just made a layup, and the whole person flew out of the bottom line, and he sat on the floor.
The other Timberwolves players hurriedly ran over, and Foye and Brewer were very attentive, and each of them pulled Zheng Ke up from the floor with one hand, Zheng Ke jumped on the floor a few times, pretending to pat off the dust on his body (in fact, the floor is very clean), so that Okafor, who was explaining something to the referee, was very upset when he saw it.
Seeing Zheng Ke score three points on the court, Wallace took the initiative to ask Brown for help. As soon as Brown saw Zheng Ke playing, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, since his generals asked for a fight, how could there be any reason why he shouldn't be there, even if he was replaced on the court, he replaced Dudley.
Zheng Ke slapped the ball on the ground, took a deep breath, held the ball up, and then gently pulled the ball out and hit the penalty! 33 to 29.
The 4-point difference was hard-won, the Timberwolves players seemed to be relieved, and they suddenly had vitality again, while the Bobcats players were a little deflated, the two seemed to be the same, and the essence was very different.
Augustin carefully controls the ball, and he directs the crowd from beyond the three-point line to run, and he looks a little like that.
"Give me the ball!"
Gerard Wallace exclaimed.
Augustine is just a rookie, and when he saw that the boss wanted the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Wallace after receiving the ball, staggered his body in one step, and then broke through violently.
"Hey!"
But Zheng Ke seemed to know that Wallace wanted to break through, preemptively blocked Wallace's route, and he opened his big hand, like a hen protecting the chickens, covering the sky and the sun.
"!"
Wallace knew that Zheng Ke was difficult, but after really experiencing it, he discovered Zheng Ke's perversion. When he got here, he stopped being strong, and hurriedly beckoned Okafor to come out and do the blocking.
Zheng Ke is not a rookie, as soon as he looks at Wallace's appearance, he knows that he must be looking for a block, and he is faintly prepared in his heart.
Seeing Okafor come out, Wallace immediately began to dribble with the help of Okafor's body.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Wallace heard a terrible shout. Then he heard the referee's whistle, and he immediately turned his head to look at the referee.
The referee pointed at Okafor and made a penalty gesture: "White No. 50 covers foul!" “
