In the long history of the NBA, the team that won the battle of Kings Mountain has a probability of winning the entire series as high as 80%, and now in the second round of the two battles of Kings, the Timberwolves in the West and the Celtics in the East are the winners, and there is speculation that both teams may have a great chance of reaching their respective division finals.

The Timberwolves' performance this season is staggering, I still remember that at the beginning of the season, the Timberwolves who sent Jefferson away were not favored by anyone, experts have speculated that the Timberwolves only have 20 wins and 30 wins in a season, but they did not expect the Timberwolves to win more than 50 wins in a season, all the way to the semifinals of the playoffs, and even have a great chance of advancing to the finals.

These battles with the Lakers show the resilience of the Timberwolves, no matter how suppressed by the Lakers in the game, the Timberwolves can always recover the point difference in waves at the last moment and drag them into the key matchup.

It's a pity that although there are stunner performances in these games, there has been no overtime, which makes many people feel that the excitement of the game has been reduced.

Of course, this statement made many fans who watched the game scoff. Yes, the appearance of an overtime matchup is a small standard to measure the matchup between two teams in the playoffs, but it is definitely not the only one, the offensive performance staged by the Timberwolves and Lakers is more attractive to fans than the defensive matchup between the Magic and the Celtics, and the excitement is definitely not inferior to the overtime "Spurs" battle.

Going back and forth between Los Angeles and Minneapolis, Zheng Kedu became very familiar with the airports in both places, and this time he returned to Minnesota. There are even quite a few fans who pick up the plane, which is common in China, but it is rare to see in the United States in the past. Zheng Ke was excited. led the Timberwolves to meet with the fans generously, and gave a part of the fans who were present at the scene, and everyone signed their names.

"It's really heroic." On the bus, Lefu still remembered the scene of being surrounded by fans just now, and said: "I feel like a general who has returned from victory." ”

"It's less smelly and beautiful." Zheng Ke smiled and gave Lefu a fist.

"That's it, that's it." The surrounding players laughed, making Lefu's white face blush, and he blushed his neck and said, "How can there be a stinky beauty." Several beautiful women are holding up my "Kevin" name, so wow? ”

"That must be welcoming our general manager." Billups interface, teasing Lefou.

"Or maybe it's a move brand." Lowry laughed.

Lefu is embarrassed, and I feel that these teammates are too damaged. I finally sneered, but I couldn't stand it anymore when I was hit like this.

At this point, Whitman stood up from the front. Stand in the aisle. "Tomorrow's game, I hope everyone will continue to be in this form, give their all and move forward. The Lakers are now at a loss of energy, and we have home-court advantage again, and the odds of advancing are far greater than theirs. "They're still a problem with their back-ups, and the rebounds aren't very well protected. Most importantly, they can't defend ourselves against our attacks. Can't stop Zheng. Although we are not good at defending the ground, we can at least form a mutual explosion with them. Add home advantage tomorrow and we can definitely end this series with one fight. Whitman was analysing the game while instilling confidence in his players.

Eventually, the meeting, which was a small meeting on the bus, ended with Whitman and the others shouting "All out, one battle."

The sixth game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers was held at the target center, and after the series reached this point, no one dared to speculate about the future of the Timberwolves, and no rational expert asserted that the Lakers would win.

Barkley said in an interview: "The Timberwolves have always been a team that I have been optimistic about, and Zheng Ke is also a player that I have always been optimistic about. From the very beginning of my first game as a commentator on Zheng Ke, I fell in love with this big man, he was always energetic and proactive on the court. I'm not surprised at all that the Lakers were able to do this. You know, he's a player known as "nuclear weapons," and it's easy to destroy the Lakers. Haha, haha"

For example, Magic Johnson and other Lakers celebrities are a little difficult to accept the failure of the Lakers, and they have targeted the Lakers generals, some say that Kobe is too lonely, some say that the sister-in-law is too soft, and even say that the Zen master is no longer good.

The New York Times broke the news that after the fifth game with the Timberwolves, Gasol, who made a mistake at a critical moment, was blamed by his teammates in the locker room.

Against this backdrop, the two teams kicked off Game 6 of the series on the evening of May 14.

Kobe Bryant is still aggressive, he scored 18 points in the first quarter, almost single-handedly covering all of the Lakers' scores, several shots were very unreasonable, but he still scored, looking at this posture, it is the rhythm to explode.

But unfortunately, Zheng Ke was also unstoppable, although he only scored 6 points in the first quarter, he handed out 5 assists, and the Lakers' decisive package gave the Timberwolves a chance to explode in the outside shooters. The two teams battled to 25-24 in the first quarter, with the Lakers temporarily leading by one point.

Gasol is obviously a little out of shape, Zheng Ke keenly feels the change in the All-Star player who threatens the Timberwolves the most, although the data still has 4 points and 3 rebounds, but the mental outlook is very bad, and the second offense that Lefu has just scored under the basket is a good proof.

With Kobe Bryant alone, he can't vote for the Timberwolves.

Zheng Ke, who played in the second quarter, almost didn't make a sound, he didn't know what was going on inside the Lakers, but their previous smooth triangle offense did have a sluggishness, and outsiders couldn't see it, but he was on the court, but he saw it clearly. Looking at the Zen master sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the sidelines, his face was already blue at the moment.

"Attack!"

After Lefu protected the backcourt rebound, a highly imaginative long pass accurately found Zheng Ke who was fast in the frontcourt, and in the face of the unguarded basket, Zheng Ke cut in 45 degrees and dunked with one arm.

With a shake of his body, he walked on the floor with his arms outstretched, making a celebratory gliding pose.

The DJ immediately cooperated with the wolf howl characteristic of the target center, and the audience followed Zheng Ke's example and made a gliding pose. The camera showed the little fans at the scene, his delicate face was pasted with the Timberwolf icon, his pink and fleshy hands were opened, and he was stunned to learn from Zheng Ke, opening his arms, which immediately caused the surrounding audience to laugh.

At halftime, the Timberwolves had a four-point lead at 51-47, and although the score was not much, if it weren't for Odom's luck and shooting a long-range three-pointer beyond the half, it would be a seven-point difference.

In the sixth game of the series, except for the game of three points in the whole game, the Timberwolves suppressed the Lakers for the first time, making Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor, who came to watch the game today, smile crookedly.

In the second half of the game, the Lakers' situation improved, I don't know what the Zen master said, but Kobe Bryant did change himself and began to re-run the Lakers' triangle offense.

This is a bad sign, but fortunately, Gasol has no touch and has failed to achieve good results in several singles Lefou. And Zheng Ke began to strengthen his personal low-post attack, which is actually a simple back-to-back jumper, the key is that he told Ariza, or Odom that he wanted to attack him like this, and the two of them also had no way to Zheng Ke, sometimes they couldn't figure out the left and right directions, and more often they were hit by Zheng Ke and couldn't jump.

The two teams played evenly in the third quarter.

After entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves did not dare to easily make long passes and fast attacks, and in this case, a mistake was more troublesome than an offensive miss. If you miss, you can retreat to defend, and if you miss an attack, you can make a quick break.

The two teams played until the last two minutes with the Lakers chasing points, with the Timberwolves leading by 10 points at the most and 3 points at the lowest. The Lakers players were going crazy, they moved a little wider, and Zheng Ke saw the timing and broke through the interior line in a row to cause fouls. Bynum knocked Zheng Kra down in the air and was whistled for a malicious foul, Zheng Ke made two free throws and one throw, expanding the score to 11 points, and the Lakers' hopes of tying became more and more slim.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the mighty Lakers 105-96 at home and advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-2.

Zheng Ke played the image of the Lakers Terminator in this round of the series, averaging 37.8 points and 12.4 rebounds per game, and the Lakers were almost buried in his hands. At the end of the Lakers season, Phil Jackson is even more determined to find top wing defenders, otherwise the Lakers will still have no way to take Zheng Ke when they meet the Timberwolves next year.
