Chapter 44: A Narrow Victory

An NBA basketball game is taking place in the bustling Target Center arena between two young Guards teams in the West, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves

Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan has sweat on his forehead and has just requested a timeout, but the Trail Blazers' performance is still not optimistic.

Halfway through the first quarter, it's about to enter the rotation lineup, but the Trail Blazers are 11-18 behind by 7 points, Aldridge missed 3 shots under Jefferson's defense, and even rebounded only to grab a backcourt board, on the other hand, Jefferson is more and more confident, he has scored 6 points and 3 boards, and his performance is very good, Nate McMillan can't help but think: No wonder Minnesotans can forget the grief of Garnett's departure, because they already have a new wolf king who is not inferior to Garnett at the same age!

Indeed, if you just look at the data, the 23-year-old Garnett can contribute 20+10 data, and the 23-year-old Jefferson can also contribute 21+10 data, and it seems that they have entered the ranks of top power forwards regardless of the equals, but Zheng Ke from later generations does know that Jefferson's peak stops there, his strength is more than enough to be the star of a weak team, but if you want to be the core of a strong team, don't even think about it

Roy advanced with the ball, Zheng Ke hurriedly concentrated on defense, and in the face of this yellow mamba, he didn't dare to be careless at all. Of course, Roy also knew that the "yellower" guy in front of him was difficult to entangle, he was like a big spider and sealed himself to every corner he could reach

After a few dribbles, he still beckoned Aldridge to come out and block the dismantling. Zheng Ke had already skimmed Aldridge's block, only to see him squeeze past Aldridge's body as fast as possible, Roy was delayed by Jefferson and then successfully caught up by Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, don't try to escape"

As soon as Zheng Ke's voice fell, Roy made a large change of direction in front of his body, and made a gesture to break through to the left, through a series of observations of Zheng Ke's professional vision, Zheng Ke concluded that this was a feint, so he didn't move at all, waiting for Roy's next step Roy saw that Zheng Ke was unmoved, gritted his teeth, took a step back and jumped directly, this action was completed between the electric light and flint, Zheng Ke's supplementary defense was not in place, and Roy's interference was very limited

But this kind of ball is too difficult, Roy's jishu action is not very standard, and the angle of the shot is slightly off, "Damn! Roy shook his hand and scolded, as soon as the ball was shot, he already knew that he couldn't go in Sure enough, the basketball hit the iron, and the Timberwolves' point guard Telfair picked up the backcourt board

The Timberwolves launched a fast break, and Telfair, Zheng Ke, and McCantz were like winding goblins, quickly rushing to the Trail Blazers halfcourt.

The Trail Blazers' retreat was very timely, Blake, Webster, and Roy stood in their respective positions, but their positions seemed to be slightly in the middle, and Roy immediately waved his hand and commanded: "Stephen, keep up with the opposite SG!" Prevent him from hitting a chase three-pointer! “

Blake was instructed by the boss to quickly run towards McCantz, who was still rushing forward. Telfer, who broke through the middle, attracted Roy and Webster to defend again, and Zheng Ke on the right was unmarked, Telfer quickly passed the ball, and he was not sure that he could score in front of two two-meter men

Zheng Ke received Telfair's pass outside the three-point line, if he rushed in, the effect would not be too good, but if he played a three-point chase like this, the shooting rate was definitely not high, and the rebound was definitely not, joking 183 How did Telfair grab the frontcourt board At this moment, Zheng Ke thought a lot, and then he suddenly rose from the ground, whatever! Anyway, I also have a three-point shooting ability value of 80, how can I score if I don't try!

Zheng Ke held up the basketball and pushed the ball out softly with his wrist, the basketball slid through his fingertips, spun in the air, and then plunged into the basket!

"Huh!"

Zheng Ke's arms are still in a gesture of hand, and the movements are graceful like that of an artist

"Good shot!" Whitman couldn't help but cheer for his disciple, and the goal was scored to give the Timberwolves a 10-point lead! This is a watershed moment, which means that it will take at least four rounds for the Trail Blazers to equalize or overtake the score

The Trail Blazers requested a timeout.

Nate McMillan's coaching ability is still quite good, he looks at the Timberwolves' lineup offensive and defensive, but the average height is a little shorter, Jefferson 2.08 meters, Smith 2.01 meters, Zheng Ke 2.01 meters, McCantz 1.93 meters, Telfair 1.83 meters, he decisively replaced the tall interior shooter, 2.11 meters tall Channing Frye!

This substitution really had a certain effect, Smith's height was too short, compared to Channing Free, his interference had a very low effect, and Channing Frye felt good in this game, and after coming up, he hit two three-pointers in a row, and finally pulled back the score for the Trail Blazers

The game went into a tug-of-war and the Timberwolves led the Trail Blazers by 4 to 7 points until the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, the Trail Blazers' three-point shot suddenly fired, Blake, Jones, Roy and others hit three points respectively, and recovered the score in one fell swoop, Whitman asked for a long timeout to interrupt the Trail Blazers' hand, and then the difference between the two sides became more anxious, and the score actually became 77 before the main lineup rotated on the court in the fourth quarter

Whitman specially instructed before everyone went on the court: "Guys, the outcome of this game is not on Jefferson, nor is it about whether our Zheng can defend against Roy, the key is whether everyone can unite and play the bloody and united Timberwolves we once had!" I will shout for you with my brothers on the bench, please cheer for you! ”

Everyone was enthusiastically boiled by Whitman's words, and everyone folded hands together and roared: "One-two-one, Timberwolves, win, win, roar!" ”

Then go to the "battlefield" with great vigor

After Roy came on the court, he found that the spirit of all the players of the Timberwolves had become different, and he couldn't say what was the difference, but it felt that the eyes of all the players of the Timberwolves had become murderous, especially the "cowhide Zheng" standing opposite him now, Roy felt as if he had seen the bloodshot in Zheng Ke's dilated pupils

Roy tried to break through, and after a textbook body front hand, he broke through with the ball in his right hand and hit Zheng Ke's body, to his surprise, this guy who was not physically strong actually withstood his impact! Unexpectedly, the dribbling movement changed, and the basketball was out of his control

Zheng Ke naturally wouldn't give up such an opportunity, he desperately jumped into Roy, fell to the ground and grabbed the basketball. Roy naturally won't give up easily, and he immediately fell to the ground and wanted to grab Zheng Ke's ball, and the other players of the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves reacted immediately, rushing to grab the ball and basketball Zuihou was still lost by Zheng Ke to Telfel, Telfeld is also a master of the arts, he faced Blake who came over to rob, and made a big turn like a top to pass Blake at once

After passing Blake, Telfair and McCantz went on a fast break, and faced Webster in front of a one-man defense! Telfair quickly dribbled close to the Trail Blazers' paint area, he immediately made three steps to the basket, and on the second hit, he grabbed the basketball with both hands and stretched it to the left, as if to hand the ball to McCantz, who was fast on the left side, Webster made the most instinctive reaction in this electric light, and moved his body slightly to the left, but Telfair's ball was a feint, he withdrew his outstretched hands, took a heavy step out of Zuihou with his right foot, and then hit an easy layup

"Oooo The DJ at the scene was not calm, he roared again and again: "Our streetball kid Telfer has given us today's top ten balls!" Let's cheer him on and cheer for all the Timberwolves players who are fighting hard for the ball! Kill the Trailblazers! ”

"This ball is mine!" Roy ran over and patted Webster on the shoulder, he looked at Webster, who was a little depressed, and said in the most firm tone: "It's okay, we will win, believe in yourself!" ”

Roy's leadership qualities have infected all of the Trail Blazers' players, and they have gradually stabilized themselves in the face of the Timberwolves' aggressive offense and defense

As the minutes ticked by, the score continued to rise alternately, and Roy played patiently and hit key shots many times

In the first minute, Roy hit another 3-pointer with the help of cover and interference from Zheng Ke, and the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers tied the game at 88.

Whitman didn't ask for a timeout again, at this time he chose to trust his disciples, and he also understood that even if the tactics at this time were well arranged, there would be great changes, and everything had to be on his own

Jefferson got the ball inside, and he had already scored 27 points and 15 rebounds in this game, and his performance was amazing! This time he still took the ball to play singles on the inside, and the outside line was a Timberwolves player who pulled away, twice, he hit Aldridge's body with all his might, and the muscles of the two people were like steel casting, making a "bang" impact, Aldridge was also hard, and he was stubbornly resisting the Jefferson who broke him, Jefferson saw that the time was coming, and after a left duffle, he chose to turn over and jump to the right, Aldridge's center of gravity adjusted quickly, and he immediately pounced forward to interfere with Jefferson's shot

Jefferson's eyes were covered by Aldridge, and he couldn't see the basket, but he gently flicked the ball out with the feeling of shooting 10,000 times in the gym

"Huh!"

Jefferson hit the shot

Back to the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, Roy is still the current commander and ball control of the Trail Blazers, at this time Blake's ball has been taken over by Roy, and he is now just a spot shooter like Jones to open the Timberwolves space

Roy beckoned Aldridge to come out to cover, and Zheng Ke immediately deftly caught up with Roy, but Roy actually passed the ball out at this time and passed it to Aldridge near the free throw line! Aldridge let out a sigh of relief and decisively launched a trick straight arm jumper

"Huh!"

The Trailblazers are also in the middle!

The score became 90 draws, and there were 30 seconds left in the clock

The Timberwolves are still the same old tactics, handing over the inside Jefferson singles, this time the Trail Blazers did not let Jefferson play alone, Roy chose to wrap Jefferson Jefferson saw this and passed the ball to Zheng Ke who was on standby outside, but Roy was prepared, his bag was just interfering with Jefferson, very close to Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke did not have a vacant opportunity, he still chose to hit the ground and pass the ball to Jefferson

Jefferson continued to play singles, one or two hits, time was running out, Roy immediately carried out the bag again, Jefferson was not sure that the ball was scored with his back under the defense of the two, he still handed it to Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke scolded secretly, received the basketball, he held the ball in both hands and dotted it in the air, as if he was going to shoot

Roy didn't have time to think about it, and immediately pounced, but Zheng Ke's heart was really big, he was a feint, and after shaking Roy, he lowered his head and broke through the cat's waist, and after dribbling twice, he directly pulled out the jump shot!

Oh, God!

Is this a mid-range shot, or a stop-and-go jump shot! Everyone was stunned, Whitman was stunned, Jefferson was stunned, Roy was stunned, his pre-game profile said that Zheng Ke's mid-range shooting ability was almost zero, and then he immediately reacted and shouted: "Rebound!" ”

Several big men also reacted immediately, all of them wringing their arms under the basket, holding their heads high, pouting their buttocks, and stuck in position

But something magical happened!

"Huh!"

The ball went headlong into the basket before the red light came on 24 seconds!

Roy's eyes widened! Jefferson's eyes widened! Whitman's eyes widened! But the audience's eyes did not widen, and at the moment of the goal, the whole stadium resounded with deafening cheers!

The Trail Blazers immediately requested a timeout.

With only six seconds left, the Trail Blazers are faced with a choice, whether to go into overtime with two points or a three-point to beat their opponents. Head coach Nate McMillan thought about it for a while and laid out two sets of tactics for the players, if the Timberwolves shrink the defense, then we will choose the long-range shooting strategy, if the Timberwolves are fierce, then we will choose the two-point strategy!

But no matter what, everyone knows that the Trail Blazers will definitely hand over Zuihou to Roy, the boss!

The timeout ended immediately and the players from both sides returned to the field.

Zheng Ke faced Roy, of course he knew how strong this yellow mamba was, and Roy's ultra-long three-point shot to kill the rocket still remains in his mind, and he can't forget it for a long time! He had a hunch that Roy would definitely choose the three-pointer no matter what the coach did, and it was a feeling that he didn't know where it came from, but he chose to believe it

So after Roy held the ball, he stuck to him and didn't dare to relax a step! Aldridge came out to block Roy, but Zheng Ke still stuck to Roy and easily skimmed Aldridge's block, Aldridge failed to block and dismantle! The time is almost over, Roy Xiangyou broke through, McCantz also came to wrap Roy, Roy pulled back, re-circled to Aldridge's side, and chose a jump shot with the help of Aldridge's body!

Zheng Ke arrived in time and covered Roy's face with his big hand, as if he wanted to put his hand on Roy's face! Roy felt himself exhale and hit Zheng Ke's big hand and bounce back!

The basketball is still dialed out, spinning in the air, tied to the expectations of tens of millions of people, entered, then the Trailblazers killed the Timberwolves, did not enter, then the Timberwolves quasi-lore the Trailblazers!

Maybe the Timberwolves have more fans, after all, the appearance of Zheng Ke has allowed the Timberwolves to cultivate a large number of Chinese fans, so their willingness is greater than that of the Trail Blazers fans

Roy's game-winning shot missed, and the basketball smashed into the right side of the hoop

The Timberwolves narrowly beat the Trail Blazers at home!
