Chapter 291: Inertia

Zheng Ke leads the Most Valuable Player List

"Timberwolves Rise to Second in the League"

"Surrounded by tigers and wolves in the west, the youth army forcibly occupies the third"

With the gradual development of the season, the pattern of strong east and weak west is becoming more and more obvious. The Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, and Thunder, the three youth armies, have become representatives of the Northwest region, and they can still rank in the top eight in the fiercely competitive West, and even squeeze teams like the Nuggets and Jazz out of the top eight, and the Rockets and Spurs are also in danger. In the West, only the Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks and Suns are barely safe, and the rest could be squeezed out of the top eight at any time.

At the same time, some of the preludes to the All-Star Game were gradually playing.

Shortly after New Year's Day, the 2010 Dallas All-Star Game was officially announced. Regarding the slam dunk contest, in addition to the long-awaited Zheng Ke, there are also Nate Robinson from the New York Knicks and Gerard Wallace of the Charlotte Bobcats. For example, DeRozan, a first-year from the Raptors, and Eric Gordon, a second-year from the Clippers, will have a one-on-one dunk heads-up at halftime of the rookie challenge the day before the slam dunk contest to determine the players who will participate in the dunk contest the next day. This also adds a lot of color to this year's Rookie Challenge.

Zheng Ke's personal website solicited ideas for a slam dunk contest from his fans, creating the idea forum. His fans were gossipy, leaving a lot of words in the forum on the first day.

Zheng Ke's personal ability value ushered in a breakthrough in the first week of 2010. The overall rating has risen to 96!

Zheng Ke didn't know what would happen to him after he had all his abilities full, shattering the void or feathering and ascending? What he knows is that even if he is not yet full of his ability value. It is already one of the best existences in the NBA, and it is also the number one in history. He's getting closer to his dream of being the best basketball player, and it may not be a few years before he'll be able to accomplish all the feat with all the attributes.

The Timberwolves, like the Lakers and the Mavericks, have been feeling lackluster lately as they have been surging at the start of the season. It's not just the Timberwolves who are being upset. The same goes for the Lakers, Mavericks, Cavaliers, etc. Or because of the weather, or because of physical strength, or because of certain players.

For example, the No. 7 Timberwolves took on the Chicago Bulls away. Rose didn't break out, but Hinrich hit a hundred shots from beyond the three-point line. I shot the timberwolves alive. For example, the No. 13 Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies game. The Grizzlies, who have always been defense-oriented, scored 125 points on the head of the Timberwolves, and they scored an exaggerated 66 points in the first half. The starting five all scored in double figures, with Randolph and Mayo scoring 20 points each, Rudy Gay scoring 17 points and Sam Young adding 18 points off the bench. The Timberwolves actually performed well, scoring 115 points and shooting 54.2 percent from the field, but they couldn't beat the explosion of a group of Grizzlies. Zheng Ke scored 28 points in this game. Compared with the previous two months, the performance of 30+ and 40+ at every turn. His performance has been a little dull this month.

This situation made the team around the eighth place in the West excited, and felt that the Timberwolves actually had nothing to fear, and if they worked harder, they could also beat such a team.

In this way, the war in the west burned more vigorously, and the wolf smoke drifted everywhere, and from time to time a strong enemy was beheaded under the horse. Even the Rockets, who lost a few games in a row after starting in January, immediately fell out of the top eight. Now Yao Ming is anxious, and the good guy is rarely frizzy, and the handsome towels in the game are here.

It didn't take long for the Rockets, Kings and Knicks to reach a three-way deal.

The league's official website has reported that the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks have completed a trade. In this deal, the Rockets made a painful decision, sending away Tracy McGrady, as well as Joey Dorsey, Karl Landry, and getting Kings star Kevin Martin, Hilton Armstrong, Jeffries, Jordan Hill and two draft picks. The Knicks got their wish to get the injured Maddy, the Kings cleaned up Martin and began to focus on developing Tyrek Evans, who has already scored 20+5+5 in his first season, and the Rockets found a reliable outside shooter and began to really build a championship division around Yao Ming as the core. All three teams were happy.

Zheng Ke was a little surprised when he heard the news, he didn't expect Maddie to still be able to escape the fate of being traded. I remember last season, Maddy's performance was still okay, but unfortunately the injury was more fierce than the tiger, and a generation of top strikers and swingmen could not avoid such an end.

From a friend's point of view, Zheng Ke didn't want the Rockets to trade Maddy. No matter how bad the Rockets are, they are better than the Knicks, although the general managers of both teams are the kind of people who think about superstars every day. Zheng Ke didn't know how many layers of Maddie's skills were left, but he dared to conclude that Maddie would never be able to save the current Knicks. The Knicks need James, Wade, Kobe, Anthony, and of course, he can do it himself. It's a pity that he won't go to the Knicks, and it's good to stay in Minnesota.

The Rockets brought in Brother Sharp, found an outside shooter, and their roster was upgraded. In today's when Yao Ming is so strong, it is inevitable to find a good team substitute and an excellent outside line to be able to play well. It's like the Lakers back then, just like the Magic last year. Although Adelman doesn't say it, he has actually borrowed from Magic's road to success.

Coincidentally, not long after the Rockets completed this trade, they will have their first litmus test - the Minnesota Timberwolves. Zheng Ke flipped through the calendar schedule and found that the two teams met next Tuesday

Yao Ming rarely came to Minnesota, and Zheng Ke gave full play to the friendship of the landlord and entertained him well. took him to visit the scenic spots of Minnesota, and if it wasn't for the game tomorrow, I really thought that these two people were here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

The Rockets' record is not good, and there are a lot fewer people who come to watch the game, and it has always been the group of yellow-skinned fans who have always been hardcore, they are not here to support the Rockets, nor are they here to support the Timberwolves, they are here to support Zheng Kejia Yao Ming, and they are very interested in the Chinese derby battle promoted on the Internet.

When the time came, the most dazzling lights were suddenly turned on outside the target center arena. The darkness of the night suddenly turned white, and people began to walk into the stadium one after another. Uniformed security guards, police officers, and staff formed a strict line of checks, sweating on their foreheads, while organizing order at the scene, while checking the tickets in the hands of these people to prevent anyone from evading the tickets.

Zheng Ke twisted his neck and put on an ink-colored long-sleeved arm guard on his left arm. This is the reward he drew some time ago - Iverson's left arm guard: In the NBA, Allen Iverson is the figure who leads the trend of arm guards, and the arm guards and his handsome style of play give him a different kind of chic aura. Rating: Grade A, 100% injury prevention rate in the left arm.

As soon as he got this arm guard, Zheng Ke was stunned, what does this anti-injury rate mean. Literally, this should be something to do with staying power, and Zheng Ke thinks he may have found an existence similar to the golden bell jar. With such an arm guard on his hand, isn't that equivalent to having a unicorn arm?

Fans were also surprised to see Zheng Ke wearing such an arm guard on his arm. NBA players generally have very well-developed biceps muscles and thicker arms than other people's thighs. When they put on protective gear such as arm guards, the muscular arms were suddenly outlined more obviously, and as soon as Zheng Ke put them on, it caused a sensation among the fans.

Female fans think they are handsome, and male fans also think they are handsome. They shouted loudly at Zheng Ke, who was patting magnesium powder on the field, calling his name, although Zheng Ke definitely couldn't hear it.

The Timberwolves are still the same starting lineup, with Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love and Pekovic. The Rockets put on a lineup of Brooks, Kevin Martin, Battier, Scola and Yao Ming.

From a style perspective, the Rockets' lineup is on the soft side. Zheng Ke didn't plan the Rockets in his heart, but felt that it would be difficult for such a lineup to beat the wolf-like Western teams, including the Timberwolves. The toughness of the Timberwolves, the enthusiasm of the Timberwolves, and the fighting spirit of the Timberwolves are not matched by the Rockets, and the Timberwolves' style of play has always been known for being tough, and they are always aggressive when they play

The referee looked at the players on both sides, called Yao Ming and Pekovic into the center circle, and then blew the whistle.

It's game on!

The two of them can't jump up, their big eyes and small eyes kicked, and they invariably paddled their feet, and then Yao Ming's height advantage took the lead in clicking on the basketball and dialed it to the rear (to be continued......
