"You!" Graham was angry, he had seen it arrogantly, and he had heard a lot of trash talk, and it was the first time he had heard such arrogant trash talk.

Zheng Ke shouldn't have been like this, but the Timberwolves' record has declined during this period of time, and he will have this unusual reaction. He had enjoyed the joy of winning streak, and when he felt the taste of defeat again, he felt very uncomfortable, and in the face of the Raptors, he wanted to change this situation, he wanted to win.

Calderon does a simple crotch dribble on the outside, and observes the situation on the court with a pair of eyes.

Anthony Parker came out to catch the ball, Afralo followed, and the two had a bit of entanglement on the outside, and then Anthony Parker forced Afralo, dribbled two steps and then made a quick stop jump shot, and the basketball brushed out of the frame.

The rebound was taken by Lefou, who split the ball with Billups.

The Timberwolves advanced quickly, and the Raptors quickly retreated.

Zheng Ke ran to the three-point line, Love gave Zheng Ke an off-ball screen, and Billups found the opportunity to pass the ball. This time, Lefou's cover was not very good, and Graham still kept up with Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke made up his mind to beat him again.

The center of gravity is pressed down, the feet are paused, and the fork stands, the right leg is bent into a lunge, the body shakes violently, the right foot tentatively takes a step, the hands that press down to take the ball have a separation, and the right hand is replaced with a slapped ball, and then brushed, the front of the body changes hands into a left-handed ball, the body is oblique, and the lightning rushes to the inside.

Graham was deceived by Zheng Ke's feints, and his center of gravity changed slightly, waiting to see the direction of Zheng Ke's real breakthrough. It's too late. How fast is Zheng Ke? He didn't even have a chance to reach out and foul.

"!"

Graham cursed in his heart and turned his head to chase after him.

Banyani was a rare stiff man and ran out of the inside line early. Faintly blocked Zheng Ke's line to attack the basket.

Zheng Ke dribbled off the basket, Xiangyou dribbled two steps sideways, and then stepped back with his right foot.

"Z~"

The basketball shoe made a screeching rub on the floor.

Zheng Ke's body slammed, and his hands were raised to the sky, as if he was about to prepare for a stop-and-go jump shot.

"Don't think!"

Graham, who arrived later, let out a loud shout, jumped forward with all his might, and reached out to Zheng Kegai. But he didn't see the sly smile on the corner of Zheng Ke's mouth.

While flying through the air, Graham noticed that Zheng Ke was not jumping, and Zheng Ke was still half-crouching. Grabbed the ball with both hands and protected it around his waist, "Oh no! Graham said secretly, he already understood what Zheng Ke was going to do.

The next moment, Zheng Ke raised his hands. Grab the basketball and jump. The arm slammed into Graham, who was in the air, and then threw the ball haphazardly towards the basket.

"Toot ~"

The referee's whistle sounded.

The basketball is in the air, fluttering towards the basket

"Huh!"

“Andone！” Zheng Ke was overjoyed, clenched his fist, and waved it fiercely.

The home fans immediately erupted in loud cheers, shouting "ZK" loudly, and all of them had a flush of excitement on their faces.

Zheng Ke stood at the free throw line, and the referee threw the ball over.

Zheng Ke slapped the ball. Take a deep breath and throw the ball steadily.

Hit!

7 to 2.

Things were going to be bad for the Raptors all of a sudden. Zheng Ke has scored 7 points, he shot 3 of 3, and it looks very hot, everyone in the league knows that if a forward swingman can play the hand, it will undoubtedly be a terrible thing, and Raptors head coach Jay Tagliano immediately made a decision and asked for a timeout.

"Joey (Graham), we have to play our style and don't let the number 17 on the opposite side take the ball easily!" Jay Tagliano spat on tactics: "Defensively, you know, we need to play defensively, cut off their inside and outside links, and force them to make mistakes"

After the timeout, the Raptors calmed down a lot.

After a few spins, the ball reached Calderon on the outside, and Calderon jumped up and threw the ball very calmly in the face of Billups who pounced. Hit!

7 to 5.

The Timberwolves are on the attack

"The Timberwolves have a huge advantage at home, the Raptors lack wing defenders, and Zheng Ke is simply asking for it on the Raptors." Today's game was broadcast on the imperial court station, Yu Jia looked at the slow motion and explained.

"That's right, and against the Raptors, the Timberwolves have a very good interior line. Bosh is a cut-in interior and a very well-positioned frame attacker, but he can't handle the Timberwolves' interior by himself, and the Timberwolves are very ferocious in grabbing rebounds inside, and Love and Anderson can contribute 189 rebounds every night combined. Yang Yi looked at the jishu information in his hand and explained it to the audience and friends.

The morale of the whole Timberwolves team was like a rainbow, and at the end of the first quarter, Zheng Ke scored 18 points, and the Timberwolves led the Raptors by as many as 10 points at 32-22.

"ZK, your offense is getting sharper and sharper." Sitting on the bench, Lefu said to Zheng Ke with a little envy.

"It's okay, you've made a lot of progress." Zheng Ke said with a smile, his face relaxed. Now Zheng Ke's overall rating is as high as 88, and in the league's small forward position, only James and Anthony have higher ratings than him.

In terms of offense, Zheng Ke's offensive rating has reached 90, so the reason why he gives people a feeling of being a defensive warrior is first of all the problem of system skills, and the system skills he is equipped with, "blocking defender" and "chasing block master" are all defensive skills. Secondly, Zheng Ke has been cultivated as a defensive titan since he entered the league, and he has successfully shaped himself into the image of a top defender, in the process of growing up, Zheng Ke has formed a defensive instinct, even if he is now the boss of the team, he still likes to defend and enjoys the process.

And Lefou, Zheng Ke saw through the system that Lefou's growth rate is amazing, especially during the previous period of January's winning streak, it seems to have given Lefu a lot of "experience points", Lefou's comprehensive rating has reached 81, of which the rebounding score has been as high as 93, although the defense is still very average, but Lefou's growth trajectory has not changed, and it is developing towards a terrifying rebounding machine like later generations.

"Really?" Lefu heard Zheng Ke's praise with a happy smile on his face.

"Of course," Zheng Ke laughed, "you look at your three-point shooting percentage, during the winning streak in January, it seems to be 35 percent, you know that you won't shoot three-pointers until the season starts." ”

"Hahahaha," Lefle said, scratching his head, "I don't know Weishenme, the three-point shot has been getting more and more accurate recently, and I feel that it is more accurate than shooting a long-distance two-point shot." But now some media say that my style of play is soft, saying that I like to float on the outside, so I don't have to be distressed. ”

"It doesn't matter what they say," Zheng Ke showed a disdainful expression, and said, "The media are all steered by the wind, and when you play a proud record, they will not question you." You know, the big man in Dallas is said to be soft every day, but he never changes his style of play, his attendance is much higher than those tough guys flying around in the sky, and he gets into the All-Star every year. Zheng Ke also added in his heart that he won the championship in 11 years.

"You have a point." Billups handed over his shiny head and said, "Actually, the most important thing is to find a balance, to find a balance between grabbing rebounds and shooting from the outside." ”

"So how do you find that balance?" Lefou's ears pricked up, concerned about the point, as if he had been exposed to the problem.

"I don't know." Billups looked embarrassed.

Zheng Ke: ""

The Timberwolves' bench lineup is led by Randy Foye, with Channingfry, Brewer and other good players, facing the Raptors' bench lineup composed of Capono and Moon, they have the upper hand, if it weren't for Capono hitting two three-pointers, the difference would have been wider.

But even so, by the time Zheng played the game, the Timberwolves had a 13-point lead at 46-33.

At halftime, Zheng had 23 points and three rebounds as the Timberwolves led by 16 points, 58-42. When they returned to the locker room, the Raptors players were all dejected, like a bunch of defeated roosters.

In the third quarter, Zheng Ke still felt the same, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, allowing the Timberwolves to maintain a 15-point advantage into the fourth quarter. As Yang Yi said, Bosh scored 25 points alone, but the Timberwolves led the Raptors by a large score, and the gap between the two is not something Bosh can make up alone.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the visiting Raptors at home, and Zheng Ke played in three quarters of the game, scoring a game-high 33 points, while dishing out five rebounds and two steals, adding a lot of luster to his Western Conference name of the month. (To be continued......)
