Chapter 356: The Protagonist
The two armies fought, and a fight was fought.
Get back on the pitch and get back into the game. Zheng Ke cleaned up his mind and went all out to open his defensive movements, surrounding Durant, faintly meaning to cut off his pass.
Westbrook's old mistake has been made again, and it will be passed on or not.
But apparently, he has grown a lot from the previous two years, and only after a thousandth of a second, he decisively threw the ball, and the basketball floated triumphantly to Durant, who stepped forward and stretched out his arms to protect the basketball.
Zheng Ke glanced at Westbrook in surprise, and he thought that Westbrook would not dare to pass the ball.
After Durant got the ball, Zheng Ke's body was stuck outside the three-point line, and the two fell into a state of entanglement.
The surrounding fans clamored even more, and the shrill whistles were incessant. Watching a heads-up between superstars is always a special treat at any given time, and it's an adrenaline-pumping scene.
Suddenly, Durant kicked in.
He lowered his hands with the ball, as if he had touched the floor. With the ball in both hands, he took a step with his right foot, which was a direct breakthrough after turning around.
"I can't get by!"
Zheng Ke shouted, the muscle power of his body exploded, and he was stuck in front of Durant, and the two collided, and Zheng Ke did not move.
Durant didn't think about bumping into Zheng Ke like this, and he stepped out with his right foot and took a step to the right, but he stepped back directly.
Throw your hands up and fly.
Zheng Ke had also pounced at this time, and his outstretched big hand was like a five-finger mountain that could not be avoided, always shrouded around the top of Durant's head, although he knew that Zheng Ke could not cover himself, but Durant still trembled in his heart and sped up his shooting speed a little
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed on the hoop and bounced off, and Lefu pocketed the rebound!
Almost the moment Durant made a move, Zheng Ke knew that Durant couldn't shoot, because his middle finger still touched a little. So as soon as he stepped on the floor, he was like an arrow off the string. Rush to the Thunder halfcourt.
Lefou's long pass arrived just in time.
Zheng Ke was unlucky when he received the ball, and directly took three violent steps, and the fans on the scene had just come back to their senses. Even the TV footage of the broadcast did not react, and it was still stuck in the Timberwolves' half. When Zheng Ke scored, the Thunder fans on the TV didn't see it at all, only to find that the Timberwolves had gone up by two more points.
The two fastest teams in the league right now are the Heat and the Timberwolves.
Being beaten back is something that can dramatically drop morale, just like someone stealing a tower in League of Legends or Dota, which is really unpleasant. Thunder fans were also unhappy, and they scolded Zheng Ke as a "shameful thief" and a "despicable thief". ”
By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves had scored their 90th point, while the Thunder had scored 87 points. The two teams staged a high-scoring game, and at this time, the total number of double-player players on the court has exceeded ten, and like Durant has scored 29 points, Zheng Ke has also slashed 38 points, and the two scored 10 points in the third quarter. One scored 12 points, which is considered to be a match in the PK battle.
Durant shook his head and walked off the court.
"What's wrong, Kevin?" Brooks is very concerned about the star of the house, and any situation that cares about Durant, a slight move, has the potential to get his attention.
"No, it's just that Zheng Ke scored another 38 points. It is very likely that this game will break 50 points, which is really depressing. Durant said.
Speaking of this, it also made Westbrook feel depressed. "He didn't shoot much, but his score went up like this, and the score in each quarter was very average, which is incredible." He thought to himself. But he didn't dare to say it, after all, it hurt morale too much.
And Durant's words have stimulated other young players on the Thunder team, like Jeff Green, to reciprocate at this time. His fists were clenched, and a flame in his heart burned openly. Although Durant didn't blame him, he was extremely dissatisfied with himself in his own heart
"It's okay." Brooks advised: "We have a good chance of winning this game, we still have home advantage. Although Zheng Ke scored a high score, if it is us who wins, then no matter how much he does, it will be a floating cloud. As long as we defeat him, we will not be burdened with shame! ”
Jeff Green and the others' eyes lit up when he said this, yes, no matter how many points he Zheng Ke has, as long as we win, what's the use of him scoring more points?
Thunder's morale immediately rose rapidly in the unconscious singing and harmonizing between the two, reaching a terrifying height.
And the Timberwolves bench at this time-
Zheng Ke is complaining that his playing time has been suppressed again.
"Head, I'm really fine, the second quarter was already rested, and for me there was no difference between 39 minutes and 45 minutes. You know, Barkley used to say -- don't replace me, I'll have time after I die. Zheng Ke muttered bitterly to Thibodeau, because Thibodeau said that Zheng Ke would rest for the entire first half of the fourth quarter.
Thibodeau shook his head, completely ignoring Zheng Ke's fragmented thoughts.
Billups, who was sitting on the bench, laughed and his stomach hurt, patted Zheng Ke, who was helplessly sitting down, on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be the same as me, oops, the young man has enjoyed the treatment of the elderly so early?" ”
Zheng Ke turned his head away from him, and looked at Thibodeau's back with resentful eyes.
Thibodeau's move was intentional. In his opinion, the number of wins in the regular season is meaningless, Zheng Ke's playing time in the first two seasons has reached the top three in the league, especially in these games, Zheng Ke has played an average of 44 minutes per game, he has always wanted to suppress Zheng Ke's playing time, but he has never been ruthless, because Zheng Ke is really in good shape.
Now facing the Thunder, in such a high-speed sports battle, Zheng Ke has played for 32 minutes, and his physical exertion is extremely great, and Thibodeau has always had a terrifying premonition in his heart, for fear that one day he will see his star fall on the court due to injury.
People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.
So Zheng Ke felt that he was as strong as an ox, and there was no reason to sit on the sidelines to rest at this time, so he thought to himself: "Change me to play, change me to play." “
Thibodeau was able to endure it, and he pressed Zheng Ke off the court for more than five minutes, and even the Thunder, under the leadership of Durant, overtook the score by 1 point before he replaced Zheng Keti on the court. "Damn, I'm suffocating."
Zheng Ke and Brewer, who was substituted off the field, high-fived and encouraged. Brewer grinned, pulled the headband on his head, and said, "The coach is ready to give you a fatal blow!" "A fatal blow? I love that! “
Zheng Ke's heart moved, but after walking on the field, he didn't have the roughness he had before, his heart was like water, calm and indifferent.
Jeff Green looked at Zheng Ke who walked in, and said, "You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." "Waiting to be abused?" Zheng Ke did not show weakness and blurted out trash talk.
After Durant made the second free throw, the Thunder led the Timberwolves by two points 103-101. He also scored 34th points himself, only four points away from Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke has a back card to the owner Jeff Green, and Billups gives him an aerial lob. "Again?!" Jeff Green was furious, this Zheng Ke was really endlessly carrying out back-to-back singles, which made him feel very annoying.
With a pouting of his ass and a thrust of his back, Zheng Ke raised the ball with both hands to test Jeff Green's defensive strength.
Jeff Green was very close to Zheng Ke, and there was a faint defensive force behind him.
Zheng Ke's heart moved, and suddenly his body turned counterclockwise, and his left hand put down the basketball.
With this quick turn, Zheng Ke immediately got into a good position, and his subsequent right hand controlled the direction of the ball, leaning on the stunned Jeff Green, and deftly entered the inside. "!" Jeff Green scolded secretly, but it was difficult to keep up with Zheng Ke's speed.
Defending was the Russian Kostic, who, despite being seven feet tall, was undaunted by Zheng Ke - any height difference was negligible in front of a bouncing man like him. "Boom!"
Zheng Ke's raised arms retracted in the air, dodged with a small lever, and then in Kostic's surprised gaze, he stretched his belly and buckled head-on. "Roar!"
Zheng Ke roared under the basket, he really held back for a long time, and this dunk released the passion he suppressed in his heart.
The Timberwolves' momentum is rising!
Momentum is a very subtle thing, which is embodied in the mental state and competitive state of each player. If the system shows that the momentum is strong, the ability value in all aspects has increased slightly, mainly from person to person, and some players who are easy to enter the state of excitement are easily affected by the momentum, which is commonly known as the convulsive player.
Superstars are generally not called convulsive players, because when they break out, they usually have a better name, called what the moment.
Zheng Ke's moment refers to Zheng Ke's convulsive performance after sometimes holding the ball in one hand.
For example, in the next game with the Thunder, Zheng Ke has a trend of development in this regard. Zheng Ke held the ball outside the three-point line to attack, took a false step, and suddenly pulled out a jump shot and hit! The Timberwolves tied the score. Zheng Ke slipped the bottom line and ran back. Lefou's beautiful blocking! Billups made a pass in advance, and Zheng Ke received the basketball outside the three-point line, and no one defended! Hit! "The Thunder offense, oops, misses! Zheng Ke steals, Zheng Ke's counterattack is very fast, and the Timberwolves play two to one in the frontcourt! Passing, air catch, dunking, beautiful! Zheng Ke scored another 2 points! The Timberwolves overtook the score."
I don't know when it started, and the host on the TV station began to be inseparable from Zheng Ke.
He became the protagonist of the final moments
ps:
There was thunder and lightning outside, and the old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to code words
