Thursday night was fast approaching, and Mr. Zheng walked out of the bus wearing a loose jumper, cotton sweatpants and headphones.

Although the war of words on the Internet was lively, Zheng Ke was not afraid of Team Rocket. Artest is gone, and Maddie is injured again, leaving a weakened version of Ariza to preside over the big game on the outside. As for Brooks, Scola and the like, in Zheng Ke's eyes, are synonymous with defensive black holes, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

It's not arrogance, it's the self-aggrandizement of faith.

"A strong team must have the confidence of a strong team, and the rocket has fallen now! Now in the west, the rockets can only be placed in the position of the third group, which is far from us. This game, we have to win! "Whitman was spitting in the locker room, loudly cheering up the players.

"Come, let's put our hands together." Zheng Ke took the lead in standing up, and he stretched out his arm and placed it at the bottom.

One of the players obediently stretched out their arms one after another and stacked them on the back of Zheng Ke's hand, and everyone leaned sideways, close together, feeling the power of unity.

"One, two, three."

"Flip the rocket!"

The players roared together, trotted and rushed out of the locker room

The Target Center was packed today, not only because of the Rockets' successful development in recent years, which has enjoyed a large number of spectators in the West, but also because the pre-game war of words has sparked the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game.

"I'm going to watch the Houstonians cry at my feet!" A fan with the Timberwolves logo painted all over his face holding a giant sign. A crying portrait of Yao Ming is painted on it.

Slogans like this, while somewhat geographically biased, do not involve racial rhetoric. So although it is somewhat unkind. The Timberwolves have no right to interfere. I could only look at the man, and when the players entered, he held the sign higher and higher, so that people could see him at a glance.

"Too much deception!" Brooks' eyes were on fire, his fists clenched, his knuckles a little white.

"Calm down." Battier grabbed Brooks' thin shoulder, and he shook his head. "That's what they want to achieve, we need to stay calm, both on and off the pitch. ”

Brooks snorted. His heart was full of upset, and he knew what Battier was referring to. Last season, when the Timberwolves and the Rockets met, the Timberwolves often used to provoke him. And then use him to drag down the entire Rockets. But. "Are you still a rookie from before?" Brooks said darkly.

The 29-year-old Yao Ming is at the peak of his career, and compared to last season's Ron Artest and Tracy Maddy's ball split, Yao Ming, who has the most balls with the Rockets this season, has increased his scoring average per game. Currently, he ranks sixth on the scoring list with an average of 27.4 points per game! "Today's on-site commentator of TNT is still the Bashi group, and the one who is explaining to the audience in front of the TV is the flying god pig Buckley.

Smith took the stats in his hand and said, "This year's scorers are showing a blowout. So far, there are three players who have averaged more than 30 points per game, namely Zheng Ke, who averages 33.7 points per game. Kevin Durant, who averaged 32.1 points per game, and LeBron James, who averaged 30.9 points per game. After that, there is also Carmelo Anthony, who averages 29.7 points per game. Kobe Bryant, who averages 29.5 points per game, is not far behind, and could break the 30-point mark at any time. ”

Barkley nodded in admiration: "That's right, the word blowout is very well used!" In addition to the veteran scorers, there are also superstars such as Zheng Ke and Kevin Durant, and today's NBA has truly entered the era of division of the group. ”

"After Yao Ming, there are Dwyane Wade, who averages 27.1 points per game, Monta Ellis, who averages 26.6 points per game, Dirk Nowitzki, who averages 25.7 points per game, and Chris Bosh, who averages 25.3 points per game, who scores more than 25 points. There are so many scorers! The more Smith looked down, the more surprised he became.

"But that's probably just the beginning. As the season progresses, these players will drop their points per game average and eventually settle for a plateau. Barkley said.

"Even so, at the end of the season, the top 10 will probably average more points per game than in recent years."

As the live DJ sounded in action, Zheng Ke was the last to walk out of the players' tunnel, and like a king, he was cheered on by all the fans in the Minnesota area.

Yao Ming and Zheng Ke shook hands and embraced, and he joked to Zheng Ke with a sad face: "Let's play leisurely, don't break our old arms and legs." ”

"Hey, hey." Zheng Kezhan smiled, he touched his head, and then touched his nose again: "Your group of little brothers were very arrogant before the game, you have to take care of it, don't make a fight in the end." First of all, I will definitely help our team, and don't blame me for my strength when the time comes."

Yao Ming was embarrassed and speechless

As the referee blew the opening whistle, the game officially began!

Today, the Timberwolves still put Pekovic in the starting position. Although he is weaker than Anderson's bounce, in terms of strength, tonnage and height, he is simply the best choice to be a meat shield, and he can only be used to deal with Yao Ming. Whitman told him before the game, "Don't ask for death, but for restrictions." ”

Again, this is Adelman's rhetoric to Battier and Ariza, against Zheng Ke, put him under 25 points, and they will be qualified for today's task.

It was Yao Ming who won the jump, and after Brooks took over the basketball, he launched his first offensive command.

Brooks isn't tall, but he's incredibly fast. Although Billups defends well, as he gets older, he has become more and more unable to deal with such a small point guard with such speed. In the first wave of the Rockets' offense, Brooks unexpectedly played a forward change of direction and one-on-one past Billups' defense.

It's a nuisance, but fortunately, Brooks has some problems with his shooting selection, and in the face of no one, Love and Pekovic are both stuck on the owner's inside, he actually chose a pull-up jump shot!

"Pit daddy, you can get in, it's really brainless." Zheng Ke pursed his lips and picked up the basketball from under the basketball hoop, speechless in his heart.

Timberwolves offense.

When it comes to positional offense, the Timberwolves players still enjoy a variety of air-cut runs and off-ball screens. In the past, Lefu covered Zheng Ke, but since the offseason, Lefu showed a beautiful three-point shot, Zheng Ke also began to cover Lefou, facing Scola, who was moving a little slowly, Lefou's opportunity came.

"Bang!"

Scola crashed into Zheng Ke, who was leaning slightly. Zheng Ke's tattoo did not move, but he snorted, and suddenly his eyes were black and his ears were ringing, and he couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest.

Lefu receives the ball on the outside, bends his knees, jumps, and raises his hands.

Three-point shot, score!!

3 to 2.

Whitman, who was in a suit and leather shoes on the sidelines, and was holding his chin in one hand, nodded with satisfaction. For Zheng Ke, he really has nothing to say, he has the strength of a big name, but he is willing to do any work on the field. Defense, grabbing rebounds, covering without the ball, blocking people in the card position, it seems that he is willing to try to do blue-collar work, and his physical strength is outrageous.

The Rockets attacked, and after falling into the positional battle, they handed the ball to Yao Ming, who asked for the ball inside.

Pekovic swallowed and nervously pressed his hand against Yao's waist. He swore he had never seen a monster of this magnitude in his life. Oh my God, it's like a mountain. In the past, it was others who looked up at him, but now he needs to look up at others, and he can't see his face at a glance, leaving him with only a broad and powerful back.

"Bang!"

The imaginary sound of muscle collision in his mind did not come, and after Pekovic reacted, Yao Ming had already completed a one-handed slam dunk under the basket!

"What happened?"

Pekovic's pupils dilated, and he looked up at the replay on the big screen in the center as he turned his head.

At that moment, Yao Ming turned around and wiped Pekovic who was close to him with the flexibility of his huge body, and his movements were so flexible that people couldn't believe that this was a big man who was 2.26 meters and weighed more than 250 meters!

Pekovic didn't believe it either, but the fact came out that he hadn't seen anyone in the Europa League who was so flexible. He is accustomed to opening and closing, and it is the first time he has encountered such a player with needlework and embroidery.

"If only I could do this!" Pekovic looked at Yao Ming, who was returning to the defense, with some envy, and thought so. (To be continued......)
