Chapter 250: Four Pairs

Zheng Ke's blood burned all over his body, and after two years of struggle and one year of hard work, he was only one step away from the highest honor as a basketball player.

How many players can touch the O'Brien Cup at the age of 20? How many players can lift the O'Brien Cup their first playoff appearance? If Zheng Kezhen can complete this great performance, then his name will be written into the Basketball Hall of Fame in the future and praised for future generations.

When the Magic team beat the Knights, it seemed that they had lost all their character. Against the Timberwolves, they looked a little helpless, especially after entering this third game, they still couldn't find the best way to attack and build the best defensive system.

Howard couldn't have blocked Zheng's offense every time.

Zheng Ke got the basketball in the low post, attracted the Magic team to double the bag, and then distributed the ball to Mike Miller, who was ambushed on the outside. Mike Miller received the ball and shot directly, resolutely and decisively.

Hit!

10 assists! This is Zheng Ke's second double-double after scoring. The attentive audience immediately cheered, shouting "four pairs," "four pairs"

A minute later, Turkoglu split the ball from the outside of Lewis and was intercepted by Zheng Ke halfway through.

"Attack!"

It was another Timberwolves-style fast-break method, Zheng Ke led the wolves all the way to the dust, like mercury pouring into the ground, and then in Nelson's horrified eyes, Zheng Ke took off again, unstoppably completed a two-handed slam dunk, and his body swung around the basket with inertia.

At 86-76, the Timberwolves once again led by 10 points.

When you go back to defense. Zheng Ke stretched out his palm and gave Billups a light high-five, and the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the possibility of winning this game was getting bigger and bigger.

At this point. Big Van Gundy has calmed down, he has used all the moves, and whether the Magic team can basically rely on the efforts of the players on the court can basically rely on their own efforts, he can play very little role now. Looking at the young Howard on the court, his mind at the moment is thinking about the future of the Magic team, although Howard's offensive methods are a little rough at the moment, but a year later. Three years later, when Howard was really in his prime? Thinking of this, Da Van Gundy's heart was full of anticipation.

Minutes and seconds passed. Zheng's tenth steal came so quickly that fifty seconds later, Nelson made a dribble error and gave Zheng a steal. The Timberwolves didn't make it a fast break though. But the spectators stood up, and the roar of the "four pairs" was incessant, filling every corner of the arena.

However, Zheng's last rebound was delayed, and when he improved his score to 38 points and his assists to 12, the audience could no longer sit still and began to commotion one by one. Fans want to see Zheng Ke win four doubles in the finals, and they all have anxious looks on their faces. Put your hands together and pray for Zheng to get the last rebound. Until now. On the contrary, no one paid attention to the big score on the field.

As a player of the Magic team, they naturally don't want to see themselves tied to the shame post forever, but there is hope of tying the score behind, and they curse Zheng Ke in their hearts for not being able to grab rebounds, while speeding up the pace of offense.

Howard came out and blocked Nelson at 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line, Nelson moved his wrist and dribbled to the right side, and Billups was slightly blocked by Howard's body, one position behind Nelson. In this case, Zheng Ke naturally chose to wrap Nelson, he moved in small steps, and assisted in the defense with extremely fast lateral movement speed.

The last time it was in this situation, Nelson chose to pass the ball and was stealed by the quick-eyed Zheng Ke, this time Nelson hesitated slightly, accelerated with his head bored, and saw the basket, a standard small toss.

Zheng couldn't catch up, but Nelson missed the throw and bounced into the air.

Under the basket, Lefu was already in the main position, but Lefu did not open his arms, he was still stuck with Lewis, and then winked at Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke realized, the spring leg burst out of power, and the Hokage rushed up, he stretched out his right hand, which was not thick, and approached the basketball that was still in the air little by little.

"Smack!"

Zheng Ke clasped the basketball with both hands and landed on the ground in a half-squat, just like the arrogant Sakuragi Hanamichi in the animation.

At that moment, time seemed to be forbidden, and the eyes of the whole United States and the whole world were focused on the man who was like a demon god in the middle, Zheng Ke slowly stood up, enjoying the cheers and applause of the audience.

TNT and ESPN's broadcast screens all made Zheng Ke's data at this moment: 38 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 steals, the fifth time in NBA history that there was a quadruple-double, and it was in such an important Finals, Zheng Ke not only broke the long-standing single-game steal record in the Finals, but also created a mythical performance.

Behind every winner who gets flowers and applause is a skeletal opponent, and the Magic serve as a backdrop. Not only now, but perhaps in the next few years, the Magic team will become the object of people's after-dinner ridicule, such a scene makes the Magic players on the court shudder to think about it.

It's an epic war, but Zheng Ke is the only one who bears the halo, he is the center of attention and the cameraman's favorite subject.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, a flying ribbon flew in the center of the target, which was a celebration of victory. Zheng Ke raised his arms, like a king, accepting the worship of the audience. The first championship trophy in the history of the Timberwolves is already in the bag!

In the post-match press conference, Whitman was full of praise for Zheng Ke: "Four doubles, guys. Normally a player doubles one of these stats, which is already remarkable, but he has done four in one game. Let's see, Zheng Ke scored 43 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists and 10 steals, my God, I've probably never had such a crazy game in my life, and I'm very lucky to have met such a disciple at the beginning of my coaching career, and I'm so proud of him. ”

In an interview, Lefu also exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's terrifying. You know, when I saw him break the ball again and again in the second quarter and lead us on the counter-attack, I knew what was going to happen and he got a quadruple-double, and I love games like that, he's an epic player. ”

When the rest of the players were interviewed, they all expressed their praise for Zheng Ke, and several doglegs shouted at the media that Zheng Ke was the king of the world tonight.

And the party Zheng Ke was exceptionally calm when accepting the media.

A New York Times reporter asked Zheng Ke: "Zheng, congratulations on winning four doubles tonight. You became the first player to complete a quadruple-double on the Finals stage, and broke the record for steals in a single quarter of the Finals, and a series of records for steals in a single game, can you tell us what you are thinking at the moment? ”

Zheng Ke stuck out his tongue and said, "Wow, this is an unbelievable night. In fact, I was not prepared for it myself, and it seemed that I had done it without realizing it. ”

There was a burst of laughter.

Zheng Ke paused and continued: "There is a lot of chance in this kind of thing, and I would say that I was involved in the game at that time. I was fully focused on every moment of the game and my teammates did a great job, they scored a lot of goals and grabbed a lot of rebounds, so I was able to do [a quadruple-double], thanks to them." ”

Immediately afterward, the Washington Post reporter asked him another question: "We noticed that your steals all came in the second quarter, and that quarter was with your team with Dwight Howard, did he have any better breaks?" ”

This question is a bit more acute, this is a topic that offends people, Zheng Ke has no habit of falling into the ground, and after considering the language, he replied: "I don't think so. He has his strengths, I have my strengths, I'm smaller, I'm more agile and it's easier to break the ball. You know, Dwight is a big man who is strong, and his strength lies in his invincible defensive ability on the inside and his terrifying rebounding protection, and I was able to cut off his ball, because of the coach's tactical arrangement. You know, he hit me out of place, and I hit him in the same place. ”

There are a lot of media coming to Minnesota today, not just sports media, but some old-fashioned, world-class media outlets, like The New York Times and The Washington Post. In addition, there are many entertainment media, they are not here to join in the fun, they also want to dig out news points from Zheng Ke. You must know that there is no separation between style and style, not to mention that Zheng Ke himself is also a figure in half of the entertainment industry, and he has an inextricable relationship with the entertainment industry.

It was a hodgepodge of press conferences, noisily asking for questions, but time was limited and not all media reporters had the opportunity to ask questions. After Zheng Ke sweated slightly on his forehead, he finally ended this post-match press conference, and he turned around to leave the media with a dashing back and left the target center.
