It wasn't the first time Zheng Ke had been killed, but the painful feeling still made him extremely uncomfortable, and he fled away from the target center and walked back to the locker room.

At this moment, for some reason, he remembered the classic saying: If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. A few days ago, he beat the Lakers at the Staples whistle, and a few days later Kobe Bryant beat the Timberwolves at the center of the target, and the script written by the two is like a Hollywood blockbuster in the making, thrilling and exciting.

In the East, the Cavaliers led by the Emperor continued to be strong, and they swept the Eagles 4-0 in the East. Wade sent a congratulatory message to his good friends at the same level, thanking the emperor for avenging him and congratulating the emperor on his promotion to the East Finals. In the other matchup in the East, the Magic and the Celtics drew 2-2.

In the West, the Lakers and Timberwolves drew 2-2. And the Spurs vs. the Rockets should have been an anxious series, but the unexpected Rockets led 3-1, after winning the Spurs on the road, the Rockets won two consecutive home games, and it seems that the Spurs' odd-year defense of the title will be cut off in the hands of the Rockets who entered the second round for the first time.

At the post-match press conference, Zheng Ke kept his head down and looked listless.

"Zheng, can you tell us about your last defense? Kobe Bryant: He named that buzzer-beating shot under your defense. The reporter who came with the team in Los Angeles obviously didn't open which pot to mention, stared at Zheng Ke and asked this question.

"Nothing, it was a good ball." Zheng Ke didn't bother to look up to see which beauty asked the question, and replied perfunctorily: "Kobe Bryant's shooting rhythm is very good, and Paul (Gasol) passes very well." The tactical layout is also quite good. I couldn't get that shot and then I had Kobe Bryant shoot the ball in. ”

"The next game is back in Los Angeles, this time without home advantage. What will you do? ”

'It's nothing, we've had a good away record this season. Against the Lakers, we will learn from this game and try to play the best we can. ”

"Can you tell us about the hug of the female fan in the middle of the game, did you know each other before? Does Taylor know? "I don't know which unprofessional sports media actually asked such a gossip question.

Zheng Ke couldn't smile bitterly, his depressed mood was much better asked by the reporter's question. "It was an enthusiastic fan, but we didn't know her, Taylor was sitting on the sidelines and watching the game. “

With Taylor's generosity, he naturally wouldn't care about a female fan's hug to Zheng Ke. In fact, Taylor had been sitting on the sidelines watching Zheng Ke's game, and she could see the enthusiasm of the female fans, who looked like they were only teenagers in high school. She smiled indifferently.

Zheng Ke's depression Taylor can naturally feel it. After the press conference, she drove to Zheng Ke as soon as possible.

Zheng Ke, who was already waiting on the side, opened the car door and got into the car.

The two kissed affectionately, and then Zheng Ke had a sad expression on his face.

In front of Taylor, he no longer hid the depression in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "I won this game by ten centimeters, and I won this game by four seconds." "It's okay, the next game will definitely be won." Taylor held out his slender arm. Gently touched Zheng Ke's thighs, revealing white and lovely teeth. Then he started the car and slammed down the accelerator

In the journey of the playoffs, Zheng Ke has grown very fast, which is a good "copy" and gives Zheng Ke a lot of "experience points". Many people say that watching Zheng Ke play in the playoffs does not look like a player entering the playoffs for the first time, and his scoring ability, his defensive ability, seems to have become stronger on the playoff stage.

He is a model of an athlete in the new era of confrontation and a representative of the all-round small forward.

Pat Riley said the future of basketball is likely to be made up of five versatile forwards. Zheng Kezheng represents this kind of striker. Whether in terms of physical fitness, offense, defense or rebounding, Zheng Ke is at the top of the NBA's small forwards today.

In this game, Zheng Ke played the position of power forward and grabbed 22 rebounds in the whole game, breaking his personal single-game rebounding record, tying the 22 rebounds he also grabbed when Garnett faced the Nuggets in the playoffs in 04.

Two days later, the Timberwolves took on the Lakers on the road.

This is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the most crucial game in this series, and after the Cavaliers advanced to the next round, there is only this one game played in the NBA today.

So, this game has attracted a lot of attention. This is the reason why it is said that the further the NBA playoffs go, the more valuable the players are. Many of the Timberwolves' young players have shown their quality, with Lowry, Afflalo, Love, and Brewer all performing in the playoffs, and they are important guarantees for the Timberwolves to make a difference in the West in the future.

Of course, there are also many teams that have shown a lot of interest in the Timberwolves through their playoff performances, and at least the trade probes of Lowry and Afralo are sent to McHale's email like snowflakes.

The game between the two teams reached the fifth game, and the players and coaches were very familiar with each other. Not only is he familiar with the tactics of both sides, but he is also familiar with the opponents of his or her respective teams, and knows the habits, movements, and even offensive and defensive intensity of their respective opponents.

In the first half, the two teams were still evenly matched as in the previous game. The Lakers' offense is sharp, but they can't prevent the Timberwolves' tidal counterattack, Zheng Ke's 45-degree cut is simply invincible, and whoever defends is the same, the most uncomfortable thing for the Lakers is that Zheng Ke's position on the court is uncertain, and he sometimes goes to the inside line to top people, and the top ground is very good.

So, it's no surprise that the score is 54 to 54.

Los Angeles is more bustling at night, and from the ESPN exterior lens, the lights around Staples are bright, and the blue light font on the top of the arena is gorgeous under the night.

At the beginning of the second half, Zheng Ke led the Timberwolves to a wave of 12-4, but then, Ariza hit a three-pointer, and Odom made a basket of two and one, gradually pulling the score back to the same running line, and the game was still anxious. Zheng Ke couldn't bear it even if he had a physical strength value of 95, and he was accumulating strength while fighting.

Zheng Ke knows that the Timberwolves' roster is flawed, and Anderson's ability value is not enough to play as the starting center of a championship team. Even though he can contribute a morale-boosting block every night, even if he is very good at helping defense, his near-zero individual offense under the basket and thin body make him the weakest link in the Timberwolves lineup. Simply enough, Bynum was not as invincible as he imagined before the series began, and even against Anderson, he still played very averagely, with small hooks and slow steps to retreat.

Therefore, in most cases, the Lakers use a lineup like Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Odom and Gasol, and the Timberwolves play against Billups, Afflalo, Brewer, Zheng Ke and Love, and sometimes Miller replaces Brewer.

Until the last three minutes of the game, relying on Zheng Ke's outside three-pointer, the two teams stood on the same running line again. Kobe Bryant wanted to return a three-point shot and didn't score, the Timberwolves broke quickly, Zheng Ke gave Lefu an air relay, and Lefu dunked with both hands. Fisher then hit a mid-range jumper to tie the score.

The scorching battle of Tianwang Mountain has fascinated basketball fans all over the world.

After the Timberwolves called a timeout, Zheng Ke broke through to Billups, who hit a three-pointer at a crucial moment. The Timberwolves took the lead in breaking through 100 points and took a three-point lead at 101-98. With 1:12 left in the game, the Lakers called a timeout.

Billups lived up to his nickname as "Big Heart", and his three-pointer was worth a fortune, and he directly pushed the Lakers to the passive side. If the Lakers choose a two-point shot, then they will need at least two waves of offense to catch up with the score, and if the Lakers choose a three-point shot, the success rate of the offense is much lower than that of two points.

Phil Jackson laid out the two-point shot to encourage players to break inside and make contact. However, after arriving on the court, the Timberwolves defended very tightly, Kobe Bryant was locked to death by Zheng Ke, he handed the ball to Gasol who came out, and then prepared to receive the ball. Unexpectedly, Zheng Ke saw through it at a glance, stuck in the main position one step ahead, and stretched out his long arm to grab Gasol's pass!

Zheng Ke flicked the ball forward, and then strode to catch up, and Kobe Bryant didn't have time to complain before he caught up with Zheng Ke. The two fought from the halfcourt, Zheng Ke relied on his strength to knock through Kobe's defense, wanted to impact the basket, and was pulled by Kobe.

Defensive fouls.

Whitman was so happy that he almost didn't laugh out loud, at this critical moment, a steal, a foul, the Timberwolves instantly took a huge advantage.

At the free throw line, Zheng Ke hit two free throws.

The Timberwolves led by five points at 103-98 with just 51 seconds left on the clock.

It's really a feng shui rotation, such an anxious game, who leads at the last moment is actually a blink of an eye. Luck occupies the vast majority of the ingredients, Gasol made bad mistakes early and late mistakes, but he made mistakes at such a critical moment, and he can only sigh that the Lakers are unlucky.

When the timeout came back, the Lakers wanted to play a quick two-point attack, but they didn't expect Fisher's layup to be dropped by Zheng Ke's hat again. Gasol grabbed the rebound for Kobe Bryant from the outside, but Kobe Bryant hit the basket. This time, the rebound was grabbed by Lefou, and he held the rebound with both hands like a gold brick for the first time.

Fisher reacted, fouled first, and cut a heavy hand to Lefou.

In the end, the Timberwolves players made perverted free throws, and the Lakers' foul tactics failed.

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers 110-104 away, Zheng Ke played 45 minutes, scored 28 points and 11 rebounds, and was named the best player in the battle of Tianwang Mountain. (To be continued......)

PS: Suddenly it turned out that Bynum was more of a waste of talent than Odom
