Afflalo was devastated by Kobe Bryant throughout the game, but in the final moments of the game, he completed a two-handed dunk on top of Kobe's head at the most crucial moment. Jumping height and beautiful movements aside, the value of this hit alone is worth making the lad happy for a while.

His current state is like "turning over a serf and singing".

But the game was not over, and after a while of jubilation, the Timberwolves gathered their minds, surrounded Whitman, and then listened carefully to Whitman's tactical arrangements.

At such a point in time, Whitman no longer has any complicated tactics, and he loudly reminded the Timberwolves players,

Pay attention to the Lakers' breakthroughs, especially Kobe's offense, and don't jump easily to avoid being fouled

The Lakers' final offense is in Kobe's hands, which is something that people all over the world know, just like the Timberwolves will hand over the final offense to Zheng Ke, which is a responsibility that a leader must bear.

Whitman's confusion is, should Zheng Ke be allowed to defend Kobe? It stands to reason that the best player for the Timberwolves to defend the swingman on the outside is Zheng Ke, but Afflalo has defended Kobe Bryant well in these games. Even if Bryant scored more than 30 points, it took a lot of opportunities to make a shot, and his impact and lethality were much limited by Afflalo.

Zheng Ke seemed to see Whitman's entanglement, and he took the initiative to ask Whitman: "Coach, I'll defend Kobe Bryant on the last ball, my height and arm span have more advantages." ”

Whitman looked at Afflaro. The young man's mood had calmed down at this time, and he knew that it would be difficult to lock Kobe Bryant with his own ability. At most, Kobe Bryant was given a certain limit. And Zheng Ke's defensive ability with the ball is the best among the NBA outside players at the moment, and he must put more pressure on Kobe Bryant than himself. So, Afraro said calmly: "I understand. Coach, I can go and defend Trevo [Ariza]. ”

Whitman nodded with satisfaction, the young man is just smart, and he can understand a little. He thought about the Lakers' lineup in his head, replacing Miller with Brewer, who was more agile and better defensive. Used to restrain Odom.

It wasn't long before the fans felt the whistle blow and the players from both teams were back on the pitch.

Zheng Ke walked in front of Kobe. The two stared at each other. didn't speak, but he could feel the murderous aura on the other party's body, which filled the air.

The whistle sounded, and Kobeza's legs began to run wildly. Under the cover of Gasol's massive body. I caught a basketball easily. He thought that Gasol's cover would allow him to throw off Zheng Ke a little space, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, Zheng Ke appeared in front of him like a shadow.

The two stood outside the three-point line, and the crowd immediately cheered, whistled and applauded.

"Come on!"

Zheng Ke roared in his heart, opened his long arms like a big peng bird, and squatted slightly, his heels slightly off the ground. It looks like a cheetah ready to exert its strength.

Maybe it's 3 seconds, maybe it's 5 seconds. Bryant kicked in.

Zheng Ke had never seen such a swift first step. Kobe Bryant, who was under heavy pressure, actually exploded his 120% ability, and the lightning slashed the first step that simply surpassed all the opponents Zheng Ke had encountered in the past, including the current No. 1 in Detroit and No. 3 in Miami.

But Zheng Ke is no longer a rookie with weak ability, his reaction speed can be called terrifying, evaluating the body's instinctive reaction, it was hard to block Kobe's breakthrough deeply, and the two started to entangle one step inside the three-point line.

"That's not going to work!" Phil Jackson frowned.

Kobe Bryant dribbled and was almost taken out by Zheng Ke, he quickly picked up the basketball, turned his back to Zheng Ke, and then faced Zheng Ke with his back for a while, and gradually shook to the baseline position.

This is really an embarrassing scene, Kobe Bryant has never met such a perverted opponent in his career, he is not even given any space to shoot, and the two have consumed nearly 12 seconds of offensive time.

"Can't put it off any longer!"

Kobe Bryant estimated the time and scolded Zheng Ke for being perverted. Then after making a feint to rush to the middle, the right foot is the axis, the left foot makes a big circle, and the body is backwards and flies out.

This is his usual back-to-back jumper, which has a larger amplitude and a farther back-to-back jumper than Zheng's step-back jumper. But Zheng Ke's premise for using a step-back jumper is that he first uses a strong force to make his opponent unable to jump, and then solves the problem with a step-back jumper with an astonishing amplitude.

Kobe Bryant's feints like this can shake off Zheng Ke, who is known as a "blockade defender".

Zheng Ke quickly took a step closer, leaning his body, and at the same time stretched out his big arms, opened his big hands like a five-fingered mountain, and flew into the sky with the speed of a rocket.

If Kobe Bryant was a feint, Zheng Ke would be finished, but unfortunately Kobe Bryant didn't make a shooting feint.

At this moment, Kobe Bryant only has the basket in his eyes.

His mouth habitually opened slightly, he grabbed the basketball with both hands, and gracefully made a shooting motion, throwing the ball out like a textbook.

"This goal can be scored!"

Kobe Bryant felt this shot, and the rhythm was extremely smooth, and he felt that this ball would definitely be able to be shot.

"Smack!"

Kobe Bryant's pupils contracted suddenly, and the basketball he threw flew back upside down at a faster speed, flashing over his head in an instant, and the air flow that drove him felt cold on his scalp.

"Toot ~ Lakers Throw-In!" The touchline referee makes the decision.

Like boiling water, the scene immediately fell into a sea of joy, the fans smiled one by one, and many fans with the Timberwolves logo painted on their faces screamed, and they all high-fived and celebrated with the fans around them, enjoying the good time brought by Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke arrogantly faced the audience, tilting his head and raising his hands, which attracted even more cheers from the audience.

With just four seconds left, the Lakers requested one last timeout.

4 seconds is not a long time, but it is not a short time. It is enough for the Lakers to complete two passes and play a tactical match, which means that the Lakers have a chance to kill the ball. The only problem is that the momentum of the whole court is on the side of the Timberwolves, and Zheng Ke's big hat is too demoralizing for the Lakers.

In Barkley's words, Zheng Ke's block is a perfect display of his explosive physicality. After entering the 21st century, Kobe Bryant is the only player who can block back-to-back jumpers after hitting singles, and of course, Zheng Ke's name must be added now. Now it seems that the two of them really have a lot of similarities, the same slenderness, the same preference for one-handed balls, and the same reliance on defense to start. Of course, the reason why Zheng Ke doesn't look like Maddie is because of his unparalleled power, after all, Maddie's strength is worlds different from that of a god like Zheng Ke.

A little more than a minute later, players from both teams returned to the basketball court.

Serving off the sideline is Ariza, who is the least dangerous of the Lakers' starting five, and he certainly won't be able to get the attention of the Timberwolves on the court.

As the whistle sounds, the players on the field work like clockwork machines.

Bryant ran along the three-point line from the baseline, and Ariza sent the ball to Gasol, who was caught outside the three-point line. Gasol grabbed the basketball with one hand, leaned his back against Love, and watched the Lakers players move.

Ariza ran into the basketball court and made a pick-and-roll for Kobe.

"Get out of here!"

Zheng Ke ignored it and slammed his head into Ariza.

Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant actually ran back, Gasol and Kobe had a good heart, and hoisted the ball to Kobe Bryant as soon as possible. Zheng Ke was secretly pulled by Ariza on the placket.

Zheng Ke was shocked, moved two steps quickly, and pounced on Kobe Bryant, who made a step-back jumper.

"Find the hat!"

Zheng Ke shouted, the sound waves interfered with Kobe's shooting, and jumped in the highest air at the same time, and the posture of the two was the same as the time Zheng Ke blocked Kobe Bryant just now.

The camera film in the hands of the reporters tumbled, and the moment Kobe Bryant shot and the basketball flew in the air, they recorded the duel between the two superstars. In the picture, Zheng Ke and Kobe Bryant are like two people who are out of the gravity of the earth, jumping high in the air, their posture is elegant and indistinguishable, and it can be seen that the distance between the basketball in Zheng Ke's right middle finger is only five to ten centimeters.

"Didn't touch it?"

Zheng Ke's face darkened, and he chuckled in his heart, and he had an ominous premonition.

"Toot ~" The sound of the end of the game sounded. Then, he landed on the ground, and before he could look back, he heard a "thud" from behind him!

"Entered?"

Zheng Ke turned his head to look at it, with an ugly look on his face.

The drifting Nets and the rolling basketballs on the ground, the referee's gestures to the three-point effect and the sluggish expressions of the Timberwolves players, the Lakers players rushing frantically towards Kobe Bryant and the silent atmosphere at the target center, all of this told Zheng Ke

He was killed by the Lakers (to be continued......)
