Chapter 350: The Knicks' Counterattack
Zheng Ke's overall rating has been as high as 97, which is one of the top ten players in NBA history, and what is even more exaggerated is that he has unimaginable physical talents, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Zheng Ke as a probing score.
Nix didn't believe it, and suddenly became a ghost under the knife.
"Are you just going to watch him score? Don't you need to spend a few points on the faΓ§ade? Smalls was furious and said to Pekovic during a defensive in the second half.
Pekovic looked at him with strange eyes, and then said in his Montenegrin English: "I'm a center, do I need to score?" Grabbing rebounds is what I'm supposed to do. β
Xiao Si collapsed instantly.
The inside is ironclad, and the outside is hanged and beaten.
Zheng Ke was on an offense, and suddenly turned around and ran to the basket while running without the ball. Chandler couldn't change his center of gravity at all because of inertia, and he didn't even pull his clothes.
Billups understood and threw the ball near the basket with both hands.
Sprint, jump, catch, frame!
Under the cover of Pekovic's burly body under the basket, Zheng Ke easily completed this empty slam dunk, he turned his hands into one-handed hanging from the basket, dangled twice and then jumped lightly.
"Accurate ten cents!"
Zheng Ke stretched out his index finger to Billups Yaoyao, signaling that the ball was passed beautifully.
"It's just a balloon!" The great director Spike Lee is not angry with Zheng Ke's arrogance, and rushes to the side to challenge Zheng Ke to trash talk as he passes by.
Zheng Ke laughed angrily and offered a throat-slitting salute to Spike Lee.
"Dut~" Before the fans could react, the referee immediately discovered Zheng Ke's dangerous behavior. Decisively gave Zheng Ke a technical foul.
That's when the fans in the stadium reacted, and they were furious, and to insult Spike Lee was to insult all of them New Yorkers. One by one, they sent the most vicious language to Zheng Ke with their red faces and thick necks.
"Go home, Yellow-skinned Monkey!"
"Countryman, this is New York, not a place for you to go wild!"
Zheng Ke couldn't hear it, he saw the face of the Knicks distorted by anger, and Chandler's eyes looked like flames, bloodthirsty and crazy.
The crazy Knicks played a crazy offense.
Zheng Ke's provocation aroused the anger and fighting spirit of all Knicks. The feeling of depression that followed the opening scene contributed to the eruption.
The Knicks scored eight points in a row!
"God, are they crazy?" Looking at Gallinari, who jumped into the audience to save the ball, Lefu said this sentence in some surprise. He smelled madness from Nix.
"Isn't it called a timeout?" Thomas asked Thibodeau.
"No, it's a good test, isn't it? In the past, it was the opponent who won the offense, and you tuned it. The defense I've trained has been of little use. The Knicks in the midst of a crazy offense happen to be the alchemy of the Timberwolves' starter defense! I'm looking forward to it. Thibodeau shook his head and smiled strangely.
"You're such a madman, if a wave is crippled, I think you'll cry!"
"Hey, there's only six minutes left in the third quarter, even if the Knicks can play a constant climax, at most they can fill the hole in front of them, why should I be afraid?" Thibodeau's words reveal a strong sense of confidence. It's a testament to the ability of all Timberwolves players
"Come on, come on. That's where it's fun! β
Zheng Ke licked his lips and looked very perverted.
"Smack!"
Billups' layup was taken out of the baseline by the desperate little Sigai!
"Roar!"
"Come on, come on!" Xiao Si clenched his fists and roared under the basket, and in front of him were the hands of Knicks fans worshipping, and at that moment, he was the king of New York.
Billups depressedly ran out of the baseline to serve, he underestimated Xiao Si's ability to move and underestimated Xiao Si's bounce speed and bounce power for the layup just now, he didn't expect that Xiao Si, who has always been criticized for defensive blank paper, could make such an amazing supplement, which was really shocking.
In fact, Xiao Si has the talent to be an excellent defender. He moves fast, has an amazing speed of bullets, and has a pretty good reach, but the difference is consciousness and initiative. As soon as he entered the league, Xiao Si was in a crazy offensive team like the Suns, and he didn't like defense very much, so he missed the best opportunity to practice good defense. It's like Ibaka, as soon as he enters the Thunder, he is positioned as a co-defender, and for this he has to spend a lot of energy learning to defend and working hard to defend. If Xiao Si met Thomas when he entered the alliance, I am afraid that he will be the most terrifying inside line of the alliance at this time.
So at this moment, when he completed a rare block with his beastly intuition, Zheng Ke was not surprised at all.
Zheng Ke received the baseline Billups serve, and the back card was the main Chandler.
A tentative step, a step back, and with a fantastic back-step, Zheng Ke completed this step-back jumper.
"Huh!"
The basket was as wide as the sea in front of him, Zheng Ke's shot was like throwing a stone into such a sea, and the upturned net was like a splashing sea wave.
"What a ball!"
"It's 40 minutes, it's too against the sky."
"This movement, this rhythm, when am I going to make a perfect jump shot like this?"
The Timberwolves exploded on the bench, and his teammates praised Zheng Ke's dashing step-back jumper, and Brewer fantasized that he was flying on the court, and then killed all sides, and then broke 50 points in anger.
After the middle of the third quarter, the Knicks suddenly launched a crazy offensive frenzy.
The Timberwolves under Zheng Ke put up a stubborn resistance, and Pekovic was replaced by Jordan Jr. after receiving four fouls today.
"Smack!"
Jordan Jr. rewarded Felton with a bloody hat, and he is now the brightest sight on the Timberwolves' bench line, with inspiring blocks and dunks every time. As a result, his fan base in the Minnesota area skyrocketed, and people began to praise McHale's brilliant trade decision.
But this time, although he was blocked, the rebound was grabbed by Xiao Si, and he pulled up a jump shot and hit two points!
"It's 20 points!"
Knicks fans rejoiced and shouted at the sight of Smalls breaking 20 points. In the middle of the sound, they reacted: "Hey, why do I need to use a word?" β
Because Zheng Ke's score on the court is like the most dazzling light bulb, hanging above the big screen in the center of Madison Square Garden, people can see this most comprehensive technical statistics as soon as they look up.
Dribble, crossstep, dribble, turn.
Zheng Ke flew past Gallinari, and then with Pekovic's block, his body twisted, and a thick fish swiped into the Knicks' formation.
In front of him is Xiao Si.
Zheng Ke carried the basketball, as if he was about to break to the left, and then suddenly hugged the basketball, took a diagonal step with his right foot, and made a breakthrough on the right side. Xiao Si's center of gravity had just changed, Zheng Ke took a big step with his left foot in reverse, and at the same time reached out to hold the basketball, and his whole body moved to Xiao Si's left side.
"Oops, Eurostep!"
Xiao Si shouted badly, but he had no way to defend at this moment, so he could only turn his head, and then watched Zheng Ke easily play the board and score two points.
Thomas clapped his hands and praised: "Wow, Manu's European step!" β
"It's not, kind of like James Harden's European step." Thibodeau, however, shook his head and made a different judgment.
Whoever it is, Zheng Ke's European step is extremely subtle, and after scoring two points, his score in this quarter has exceeded 10 points, and the overall score has climbed to 43 points.
As the minutes ticked by, the Knicks' offensive firepower dropped more and more, and after starting an 8-0 run, the Timberwolves automatically adjusted, stood firm, and then managed to maintain a five-point lead.
83 to 78.
The Knicks scored 32 points in a single quarter over the Timberwolves, which was an absolute shock. And Zheng Ke's score after the third quarter came to 46 points, which is also a shocking thing.
One session and two shocks, the ratings are getting higher and higher.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Timberwolves head coach Thibodeau was interviewed by a beautiful reporter from ESPN, who was the big-breasted sister who interviewed Zheng Ke in the last playoffs, and the big-breasted sister wore a pair of glasses and looked more capable and mature. She shook the sheer size of her chest, and then smiled at Thibodeau.
"Coach Tom, the Knicks' offensive firepower in the third quarter was fierce, and the Timberwolves were slightly inferior in the third quarter, what do you think is the reason?"
"Oh, the Knicks had a great game." Zheng Ke can bite people everywhere, he Thibodeau can't offend his parents, you must know that every NBA team is his own potential next home, no coach will be stupid enough to offend fans in a certain place, so Thibodeau thought carefully and replied cautiously: "The Knicks played aggressively in the third quarter, their offense was very fluid, Gallinari made three three-pointers in the third quarter, and Tony Douglas also made two three-pointers, and their outside felt hot." Actually, the Timberwolves did okay in the third quarter, and I'm very happy with my disciples, they adjusted themselves without calling a timeout, which is very good."
The two interviewed in the small box for a long time, but the game in the big box had already reached the third minute.
At this time, the lead on the court was still the Timberwolves, but the difference was only reduced to 2 points, and ESPN's interview was just right to make the Knicks chase the score with pride.
"Hey, what's going on with you, what about the defense, where did the defense go?"
Thibodeau can tolerate players making mistakes on the field, but never allow players to play without fighting spirit on the field, it doesn't matter if the attack is not good, and the bad defense is a matter of attitude in his opinion.
After a timeout and a roar, the Timberwolves benches were in a much better state, and under Lowry's organization, the Timberwolves made two wonderful offenses, one Brewer cut the inside line, and one Thorton won the outside line, and the Knicks' arrogance finally dropped. (To be continued......)
