"Good ball, Zheng Ke came up and completed an air catch with Lowry, and the tacit understanding between the two was vividly displayed in this air catch. The duo have already staged such performances several times this season. Yang Jian explained.

"When Billups gets older, I'm looking forward to the full growth of Zheng Ke and Lowry." Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Aldridge stepped back and hit a jumper! True"

Zheng Ke took the ball with his back to the free throw line, wrapped it again, found Lowry, and passed it back to Zheng Ke to turn around and shoot backwards, and went in! Ouch, it's so difficult."

After Zheng Ke came on the court in the second half of the second quarter, the offense became more resolute, and in the face of the Trail Blazers' bag, his choice was more calm, even if it was a strong attack, it also ensured a certain efficiency.

The Timberwolves stepped up their defense, and both teams didn't shoot well, and at halftime, the Trail Blazers led by two points at 45-43, which was an extremely narrow lead, and the Timberwolves might be able to tie or overtake the score with a single offense.

Zheng scored 11 points in the half and seven points in the second half of the second quarter.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers strengthened the cooperation between Roy and Aldridge, and the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation between the two increased significantly. And today, Aldridge's hand has recovered, and when he faces Lefou, he can find the style of the regular season, which is obviously much more comfortable than the first game.

The two teams were in a scorching situation, and the score was close, and in the third quarter, it was tied 71-71.

In the fourth quarter, when the rotation lineup was on the court. Randy Foye is finally making his mark, averaging 14.5 points and 4.1 assists per game during the regular season this season. Although he shot only 43 percent from the field, he shot 39 percent from three-point range, so Foye is also a strong contender for the Sixth Man of the Year this season.

Foye's inside toss and outside three-pointers gave the Timberwolves a five-point lead or more for the first time in the game, which made McMillan very panicked and quickly requested a long timeout from Jishutai to prevent Foye from shooting and let the Trail Blazers players slow down.

After the pause comes back. Blake hit a hit a shot to give the Timberwolves a three-point lead at 76-73.

At this time, the best goal shot of the game appeared.

Timberwolves offense. Lowry controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and it was Blake who defended him, and Channingfrye ran out to block Lowry, and Blake glanced at it. Channing Frye was spotted on the right side of his body.

Lowry controls the ball and breaks down to the left. Blake took a big step and bypassed Channingflye, and he was triumphant, thinking that he would easily break the Timberwolves' pick-and-roll offense. But then, Lowry's slightly burly body disappeared from his eyes!

"What?"

Blake turned his head to see that Lowry had broken through from the right side, not fast, but straight into the heart of the Trail Blazers.

Oden was pulled to the outside by Channing Fry. The Trail Blazers as a whole are like a flute, and there is no one to make up for Lowry. Time flies, and two steps later, Lowry raises the basketball with both hands!

"Bang!"

The 1.83-meter Lowry hung high above the basket and did the biggest humiliation of the day to the Trail Blazers' interior.

"Oh my God! Lowry turned past Blake and completed a two-handed slam dunk! ”

This time, not only the commentators, but all the players sitting on the Timberwolves bench stood up, and everyone couldn't believe this scene, you know, Lowry rarely dunks in games, even in normal practice games, he is rarely seen dunk, this time it was really a surprise.

Lefu leaned back, his hands flat, revealing an exaggerated expression, while Zheng Ke was there clapping gracefully, with a smile on his face, looking up at the replay from time to time.

In the replay shot, Lowry dribbles with his left hand and takes a step to the left, then pulls back the basketball with his left hand, and his body quickly brushes Blake's body like a spinning top, breaking through Channingfly's right.

It was a very morale-boosting shot, and the players on the Timberwolves court instantly played more aggressively.

However, the difference between the two teams has not been widened, and the Trail Blazers have played very tenacious, and by the time the main team came on the court, the Timberwolves only led by 5 points at 81-76.

At the decisive moment of Zuihou, the Timberwolves still had a slight lead, which was the result of the efforts of the benches, and the Trail Blazers were slightly worse off the bench, so the Timberwolves seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to open the score.

The bayonets of the two teams were red, and they fought bloody and fighting spirit. Zuihou's game of a few minutes is basically a contest of willpower between the two sides, every rebound, every offense, every change of ball possession is touching, and it may determine the final direction of the game.

In this case, Zheng Ke's strong attack after getting the ball has a better effect than simply playing tactics, his breakthrough to create a kill or break through the ball will bring a lot of pressure to the Trail Blazers, and when it comes to Zuihou, as soon as he has the meaning of taking the ball, Batum and Gomez will surround him, and the defense is tight and can even be called a "double bag without the ball." ”

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves narrowly won by 2 points at home.

Putting aside the zuihou moment Roy's lore miss, in terms of the contribution of the whole game, Roy completely exploded Zheng Ke. He finished with 39 points and seven assists on 14-of-24 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 9-of-10 free throws, while Aldridge had 27 points and 12 rebounds as they came close to a win on the Timberwolves' home court.

But no matter what, the Timberwolves have retained their home-court advantage, and the pressure has tilted to the side of the Trail Blazers, and in the next two away games, as long as the Timberwolves can win even one game, then the balance of victory will be completely tilted in favor of the Timberwolves.

Zheng Ke shot 7 of 16 in this game, scored 20 points and 5 rebounds, in all respects, there was no scenery of his first game, his malaise was subject to the Trail Blazers' carefully arranged defense, fans were a little worried about it, and left messages on the Internet after the game, hoping that Zheng Ke could get out of the circle of the Trail Blazers and regain momentum.

At the end of the two games, the Timberwolves went from a big win to a narrow victory, and many fans speculated that the next game should be a loss.

Without home-court advantage, the referee's blowing scale will definitely be biased in favor of the Trail Blazers, after all, the boos of tens of thousands of fans will still affect the referee's decision to a certain extent, which is unavoidable, so at the home of the Trail Blazers, Whitman set the goal of winning one of the Timberwolves as much as possible.

On April 24, at Portland's Rose Garden, the Timberwolves challenged the Trail Blazers away.

Previously, the Most Improved Player of the Season award had been announced, and Zheng Ke was the Most Improved Player of the 08-09 season by a landslide victory over Danny Granger and Devin Harris.

Zheng Ke is very happy to receive this award, which is his first season of individual honor. The one-handed ball system also improved him to accomplish his hidden task: to be named the Most Improved Player of the Year.

Since Zheng Ke's ability value reached the all-star level, he has rarely paid attention to the system, and now the situation is that the system is a bit like a super scout, which can broadcast Zheng Ke's own state and progress anytime and anywhere, and the pitiful GS points in each game are not enough to meet Zheng Ke's needs for upgrades, and the rewards for completing hidden tasks can make him improve slightly.

But overall, he hasn't completed a few hidden missions this season, except for this "Most Improved Player of the Year", he has completed the "Win of the Week" and "Win of the Month" awards, and this season, Zheng Ke's ability value has broken the 90 mark.

Among today's various ability values, Zheng Ke has 90 near shots, mid-range shots and long shots, 90 ability points for layups and slam dunks, 80 slam dunks on the spot, 90 dribbles, 90 ball guards, 90 catches, and 85 passes. Defensively, Zheng Ke has 90 interceptions, 80 blocks, and 90 points with the ball. In terms of rebounding, the offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding ability values have not changed, both at 80 points. In terms of physical fitness, Zheng Ke's jumping, agility, and liliang have all reached 90 points, and his speed has 95 points. And the physical strength and endurance are both 95 points, these two points are Zheng Ke's ability values that have been on top recently, which does not increase Zheng Ke's overall strength, but can ensure his ability to continue fighting and avoid injury.

Zheng Ke has an overall rating of 91 points, an offensive score of 94 points, a defensive score of 89 points, and a rebounding score of 80 points. System comments: A once-in-a-decade super scorer, a superstar on the basketball court.

is such an almost invincible attribute, but when facing the pioneers, he was so embarrassed to defend the ground, which made Zheng Ke very annoyed in his heart.

And in this game in the Rose Garden, the situation has changed. At the beginning of the game, the Trail Blazers implemented a wrap-and-clip policy, but the Timberwolves shot very resolutely, Billups, Afflalo, including Love all took turns firing on the outside, and before the half quarter arrived, the Timberwolves scored 19 points, leading the Trail Blazers by as many as 11 points, making McMillan break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

After the official timeout, the Trail Blazers gave up such a defense, choosing to let Gomez defend alone, and occasionally help the defense, Zheng Ke was able to breathe. He began to show his eighteen martial arts, showing no mercy in the face of his former friends, taking advantage of Gomez's weakness of slightly slower footwork, and successively broke through successfully, and the first quarter ended with the Timberwolves leading by 14 points at 35-21.

The Trail Blazers are clearly in a dilemma, and their defense is in a big problem (to be continued......
