Chapter 218: Madness
Thousands of trainings are for the glory of the moment.
When Zheng Ke came on the field, this sentence suddenly popped out of his head. He didn't know how many thousands of troops the Lakers would arrange to surround him in the next moment, but at this moment, he had a feeling that he had no distractions. It was an ethereal feeling, as if all the noisy sounds on the pitch had disappeared, and only the war between the ten of them was left between heaven and earth.
Lefu serves to Zheng Ke on the sideline.
Zheng Ke received the basketball, and all around it suddenly turned black. On the lonely pitch, the only sound left was the sound of the players' shoes rubbing against the floor.
Ariza's long arm shook in front of Zheng Ke, her body clinging to Zheng Ke, and her other hand secretly pinched Zheng Ke's soft flesh at an angle that the referee couldn't see. And Zheng Ke didn't even frown, you know, he has long been used to this level of small movements.
The two stood outside the three-point line, and their bodies focused on all the fans around the world who were watching this game.
Everyone in the scene had already stood up, and they held their breath and widened their eyes, for fear of missing the moment in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Ke held the ball in one hand in his right hand and placed it behind him, his body sinking slightly.
"Whew."
He adjusted his breathing, and the time diminished by second.
10 seconds,
9 seconds.
Suddenly, he activated, Zheng Ke's eyes burst into bright colors, his body shook irregularly, his left shoulder sank, and then his right foot suddenly took a big step to the right.
"Let him break through!" Ariza remembered the Zen master's tactical arrangement during the pause, and the defense of three might as well be two. If Zheng Ke wants to break through, let him break through, and resolutely do not give him a chance to shoot three points easily.
Ariza thought so though. However, the tempered body automatically reacted defensively, and the left foot moved slightly in relative terms.
Zheng Ke immediately contracted his right leg, exerted force with his left foot, and the whole person flew into the air abruptly.
Ariza's pupils contracted suddenly, and he reacted quickly, bursting with the strength of his whole body and jumping, a pair of long ape-like hands rising higher and higher. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Zheng Ke raised his arm, flicked the basketball with his fingertips, and threw the ball out without distraction.
"Drink!"
Ariza let out a loud shout. His body was forced to rise an inch higher, and then, suddenly, he felt as if the tip of the middle finger of his right hand had touched something.
Then he reacted and shouted excitedly: "I touched it!" “
The basketball smashes on top of the hoop. Bounce out. Love and Gasol struggled to their feet, clicked a rebound in the air, and flew to the perimeter. Then, a swarm of timberwolves rushed in, and before Ariza's excitement had passed, the basketball in front of him was robbed by a man in a blue uniform.
It's old Miller!
There were only 2 seconds left.
Zheng Ke was going backwards out of it, and Miller shook his hands and passed the ball straight to Zheng Ke.
When I received the basketball. Zheng Ke was still outside the three-point line, and he estimated the distance. Jumped out of the three-point line, then jumped, bent his arms, and pushed out the basketball.
This is almost a blink of an eye, from Zheng Ke's three-point miss, to Zheng Ke's three-point shot, the cheers of Lakers fans have not passed, and they fell silent again.
As soon as the basketball is in the air, the red light for the end of the game is already on.
Zheng Ke's arm was still raised at 30 degrees from the three-point line, and he stared blankly at the basketball rolling in the air, but his mind was blank at the moment.
To go in or not to go in?
The basketball rolls in the air, and the nerves tense at the moment.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
One goal, but as if there were several defenses, the silent volcano erupted at this moment, and Timberwolves fans around the world fell into madness at this moment.
It was like blood rushing to the head, and the moment the goal was scored, everyone on the Timberwolves bench went crazy, and they rushed into the court in an instant. Zheng Ke only felt that there were countless people's hands on his body in an instant, black, white, and yellow, regardless of each other, and they could only vent their enthusiasm by yelling and ravaging the superstar's head at the moment.
Xing Ye said that the ups and downs of life are too fast, and it is too exciting.
That's how the Lakers fans felt that way, cradling their heads with disappointed and confused expressions on their faces, staring blankly at the Minnesotans who had fallen into a frenzy on the court.
I yelled all night, but I was speechless at this moment.
Jessica Alba pursed her mouth, she took a deep look at Zheng Ke, who was surrounded by countless people, snorted dissatisfiedly, and then pulled Jamie King and turned to leave her seat.
A small section of Timberwolves fans on the seat was jubilant at the moment. Kristen and Taylor hugged each other despite the image, and the two little girls let out their own unique screams that drowned out the tone of the crowd around them. Here, no matter who you are, as long as you wear a blue jersey, you are a member of the Timberwolves fan family, and people you know and don't know each other have high-fives, hugs and celebrate, and if there is champagne, it is estimated that they will not hesitate to open the celebration.
"I really didn't expect that ZK, who missed a goal, still has this courage and determination. His three-pointer was the best goal in the playoffs so far! Webber had calmed down at the moment, nodding his head and smiling in recognition of Zheng Ke's move.
"It's hard for me, but I have to admit that the Timberwolves are as tough as the Spurs and the Rockets. If they have Zheng, it is equivalent to having nuclear weapons. God, why did the Lakers meet such an opponent, the Timberwolves are simply the hardest bone to gnaw in the West. Johnson was sullen and worried about the Lakers losing home-court advantage.
Webb laughed and said: "The timberwolves are strong in their tenacious quality and unquenchable fighting spirit, the crazy timberwolves are the most difficult, and the timberwolves that play momentum are also the most difficult." Saying that the Timberwolves are the No. 1 tough bone in the West, I raise my hands in favor. But then again, you just said what Zheng Ke is, "nuclear weapons? "Wow, that's a really cool nickname, and I think the lad would love to hear what you have to say, Elwin."
"Nuclear weapons crush the whistle, the Timberwolves narrowly beat the Lakers!" 》
"Big Heart, See Lore Again!! 》
"The Timberwolves are approaching, the Los Angeles crisis!" 》
The media coverage is overwhelming, and the newspaper propaganda is like snowflakes. The aftermath of Staples Arena has not yet passed, and the streets of Los Angeles have begun to spread the news, and the speed of the news is like rippling water, quickly spreading around the world.
Along with it, there is also Zheng Ke's name and his new nickname.
O'Neal was very interested in this: "Wow, ZK beat the Lakers, this is a big deal. But I'm more interested in his new nickname, "nuclear weapons"? Oh my God, how did the magician come up with it, that's a pretty cool nickname. But this nickname doesn't seem to be very friendly, it looks like it's more lethal than the black mamba, ha, haha"
NBA President Stern is very helpless, Zheng Ke's three-point shot to beat the Lakers pushed this year's NBA playoffs to a climax, which is something he is very happy and happy to see. However, he has always been committed to promoting the NBA to the world, and the nickname "nuclear weapons" will inevitably affect the overall good image of the NBA. But he thought about it, forget it, this is just a nickname for players after all, the NBA needs such a personality and flamboyant element to exist, and "nuclear weapons" can only represent Zheng Ke's deterrence on the court, not other aspects of him
At full game, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers 106-105.
Among them, Zheng Ke played 47 minutes, shooting 15-of-27, 4-of-8 three-pointers, and 7-of-9 free throws, scoring a game-high 41 points, grabbing nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocks. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the Match.
Zheng Ke and Billups spoke to the media after the game
When the Los Angeles media asked him sharply what he thought of Kobe Bryant, who scored 35 points, Zheng Ke smiled and said: "Kobe Bryant is a very strong player, his fighting spirit, his desire to fight is always so strong." Defending Kobe Bryant, we put a lot of effort into it, and it cost a lot of money. Aaron (Afflaro) even left the field with six fouls. In the next games, we will continue to be in this form and defend with all our might."
"How does it feel to hit the winning shot?"
Zheng Ke smiled: "When I made a shot, I knew it would go in. Actually, on the first shot, I could have made it, but Trevo [Ariza] did it really well, he touched it in the air and the trajectory changed. ”
"Oh~" The hall suddenly exclaimed, I didn't expect there to be such a thing here, and the technical statistics wrote that Ariza's block in this game was zero.
Zheng Ke paused and continued: "The coach arranged the tactics, and we executed them accurately. The final rebound was grabbed by us, and Kevin and Mike both played an important role. We are a united team, and as long as we can maintain this unity and cohesion, we will certainly exert stronger combat effectiveness. (To be continued......)
