When Zheng Ke first entered the league, no one would compare him to James, but now both are already known as "the first person in the league", and this summer ESPN will evaluate the strength of more than 400 players in the league, and whoever can be crowned champion this year will be able to become the first person in the summer.

On the evening of May 31, U.S. time, the Target Center.

The referee held the Spalding basketball and took the lead on the court. The Timberwolves players got dressed up and then began greeting tonight's opponents, the Heat, as is customary.

James and Zheng Ke hugged before the game, even though they were very jealous of each other as opponents, the two smart people still behaved in front of the public.

The words were full of gunpowder.

Zheng Ke said: "I heard that you have already bought a ferry ticket, which means that you are ready to go home to fish?" ”

James responded: "We're here tonight with the belief that we're going to win, and we're going to have the Heat victory flag over the center of the target!" ”

"Humph!" Zheng Ke snorted secretly and was not ashamed.

After greeting each other, the starters from both sides stood in the middle circle of the court. The Timberwolves are a regular lineup of Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love and Jordan Jr., while the Heat field a lineup of Mike Bibby, Wade, James, Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony.

Zheng Ke touched the O'Brien Cup embroidered label tattooed on his chest, and his heart was inevitably a little excited.

Zheng Ke is like that, not to mention the other players. Most of the Timberwolves' players are players who have won the championship in 09 with their followers, like Billups and Love. And many of the Heat teams are entering the Finals for the first time, such as Bosh, such as Joel Anthony.

After communicating with the staff, the referee looked at his watch and then motioned to the players on both sides. He's going to tee off.

A whistle blows, and the basketball is thrown into the air!

Little Jordan shouted, his two feet were like springs, and the whole person flew into the air with a "rub", half of his arms were beyond Anthony, and he easily touched the basketball first, and then hooked his fingers. Let the basketball fly backwards to the side of the Timberwolves.

Love held the basketball firmly, then passed the ball to Billups behind him with a non-looking crotch.

There was applause in the target center, and Jordan Jr. won the jump ball, giving the Timberwolves the first offensive opportunity. Under the rhythmic command of the DJ on the spot, the audience of nearly 20,000 people shouted in unison. "Attack, attack" is a magnificent scene and an astonishing momentum.

The Heat's three-two joint defense, freeing up two bottom corners, strengthened the overall defensive link.

Zheng Ke covered Billups, who was holding the ball on the outside, and after blocking and dismantling, he cut through Love's screen. Easily got a chance to open a seat.

Billups hung in the air, Zheng Ke caught the basketball in the air, and his hands were in the frame. 2 to 0.

It started with an exhilarating aerial relay, and the momentum of the Timberwolves was completely opened, and the audience immediately reported the most enthusiastic cheers.

Zheng Ke stretched out his finger, and Yaoyao pointed at Billups, signaling that he had passed the ball well.

The offense and defense rotated, and the Heat attacked with the ball.

James takes Bibby's pass. Confronting Zheng Ke at the top of the arc, Zheng Ke lowered his center of gravity, put one hand on James's waist, and stood with both feet apart, defending very tightly.

The two had a direct conversation, and the audience was clamoring.

"I love to see it!" Barkley's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly.

It's a pity that James doesn't want to fight one-on-one with Zheng Ke. He waved for Bosh to come up and make a pick-and-roll for him. Zheng Ke saw that someone came to block and dismantle, and he was already prepared, and he took a step forward and got closer to James. The two were close together. James was shocked by the strength that bounced off Zheng Ke's body, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

After Bosh failed to block and dismantle, James broke through with the ball, dribbled with his left hand, and then changed direction in front of his body to be controlled by his right hand, and after tearing away a little space with Zheng Ke, he dribbled under his crotch and exchanged the ball into his left hand, and then his body changed direction, and he made a mistake and broke through to Zheng Ke's left side.

"Sure enough, it's a freak!" Zheng Ke secretly sighed, such a tall person, but he has such an excellent ability to control the ball.

James and Zheng Ke fought against the basket, and after two steps, they found that Zheng Ke was still in front of him like a wall, and the bulldozer, which was invincible in the past, could not be pushed into the house with special materials today. He took a quick stop, half-turned, handed over his right hand to control the ball, and when he broke to the right, he handed it to Wade, who was passing by him.

Wade took a big step to catch the ball, dodged Afflalo's defensive space, and made a mid-range jumper.

The shot angle is a little off, and the basketball smashes and bounces off the edge. Four people competed for the rebound under the basket, and Jordan Jr.'s card owner, Joel Anthony, stretched out his long arm and grabbed it easily.

The Timberwolves' first wave of defense was successful, and the fans at the stadium erupted in cheers.

Thibodeau was also happy, but he was more calm than the others. After all, the Heat is a team composed of the Big Three, and they must have their advantages in being able to reach the finals, just now James broke through hopelessly and handed it to Wade, Wade took a step sideways and made an easy shot, in fact, Afflalo has been out of position defensively, but Wade didn't shoot. Superstars are stacked, but as long as two of them play well, the Timberwolves will have a hard time.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Zheng Ke received the ball in the low post.

The Heat are also confident in James' defense, and no one else has come to cover it. The Timberwolves players opened up space and left a half-court spot for them two heads-ups.

Seeing such a scene, the adrenaline hormones of the fans began to soar.

"Back singles, will you?" Zheng Ke grabbed the basketball with one hand and leaned against James. And James bent his arm against Zheng Ke's waist, not daring to be careless. But Zheng Ke's words pierced his heart, entering the 7th year of his career, although he is improving every year, but this low-post offense is indeed not his specialty.

Zheng Keyun took a moment, the soles of his feet grasped the ground, his back muscles tightened, and he leaned behind him.

"Bang!"

The rock-hard muscles of the two collided, making a heart-palpitating sonorous collision sound.

"Bang!"

Zheng Ke hit it again, and the force of the rebound also made him extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't find a suitable point to shoot. However, after several seasons of polishing his back singles, he has made great progress, no longer as stiff and simple as when he first used it, after stopping, he held the basketball with both hands, his shoulders shook for a while, and then his right foot was the axis, and his left foot stepped out of the ground, and his body floated backwards significantly.

People float in the air, and balls fly in the sky.

James defended very tightly, and he was not knocked away by Zheng Ke, so he reacted defensively at the first time, and then pounced on Zheng Ke, covering Zheng Ke's eyes with his big hand.

Zheng Ke didn't know that he had honed tens of thousands of times at this point, and even if he was blindfolded, he still threw it unhurriedly.

Hit! 4 to 0.

Zheng Ke retreated to defense, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and looked helpless.

The Heat attacked, James blocked Bibi, and Bibi broke through and handed it to Wade on the outside. Wade stopped to make a shooting feint, then exploded in one step and instantly passed Aflalo. He's fast, and Afflalo, despite his excellent defensive ability, doesn't have a good way to deal with such a strong attack.

Wade went inside, dodged Jordan Jr.'s defense in the air, and hit a layup. 4 to 2.

Barkley smiled: "If the Heat keep playing like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to win against the Timberwolves." “

Smith nodded yes, "The Timberwolves' defense of the restricted area has always been underrated, Lefu can resist, Jordan Jr. can jump, and the two of them form a perfect mutual aid." If the Heat keep thinking about attacking inside, I'm afraid it's not an excellent tactical strategy. ”

Zheng Ke took the ball, and Lefu did a block for him in the high post.

With Lefou's excellent cover, Zheng Ke shook off James's position, Bosh gave up Lefou, came over and attacked Zheng Ke with James, Zheng Ke dribbled two steps, and passed back to Lefou, who was vacant on the outside.

Lefu shot a three-pointer, and the basketball smashed on the inside edge and bounced.

The arc of this rebound is very high, Zheng Ke was stuck by Bosh and James, and he couldn't grab this rebound, but Jordan Jr. under the basket grabbed this rebound from behind Joel Anthony, that is, deep in his head, with his height and arm span and bounce.

Jordan Jr. got up again and hit a rebound. 6 to 2.

After Jordan Jr. arrived at the Timberwolves, he became a representative of the emerging team, and his rapid progress even squeezed out Pekovic, the starting center of the Timberwolves last season, and became the new favorite of Minnesota. His most impressive thing is the sky-obscure volleyball hat and the aerial slam dunk he gets from time to time, and the pair of long arms and inhuman bounces allow him to accomplish many things that the interior can't do at all.

This year is also his first time playing in the finals, but he doesn't look particularly nervous.

For him, the worse is just six fouls leaving the field (to be continued). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m.qidian to read. )9
