Chapter Eighty-Seven: Almighty
In the second quarter, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the bench lineup composed of Brewer and Randy Foye was no match for the Pacers' bench lineup composed of Murray and Daniels!
This is really unimaginable, but the fact is that there are a total of 30 teams in the NBA, and each team plays about ten people, which is equivalent to only about 300 people who can really play in the NBA, and every year the NBA has to introduce 60 rookies and twenty or thirty players who have not participated in the draft, among these rookies, there may only be about 30 people who can be left behind, which means that the NBA is changing at a rate of one-tenth every year, and the speed of metabolism is very fast. So every player who plays in the NBA is under a lot of competitive pressure!
You know, there are basketball geniuses from all over Shijie, and one day they will suddenly kill a vote from a corner, and they will beat you to the ground without any fame
David Harrison, the Pacers' backup center, made 2 of 2 shots and caused two fouls from Smith in just a few minutes, and he led the Pacers to a 10-2 mini-surge in just a few minutes, overtaking the score in one fell swoop!
Whitman looked at the substitutes and quickly asked for a timeout, "What's wrong with you guys?" We need to play our own style and be aggressive defensively! Don't let them shoot easily! Transfer the ball more, you know? ”
Whitman then drew on the board, giving the benches a defensive and an offensive set
"Come on, brothers!" Jefferson and Zheng Ke also stood up and gave the benches a round of applause, and Zheng slapped Randy Foye's big ass.
"Hey, Randy!" Zheng Ke winked at him: "Did you go to a nightclub again last night, looking depressed!" ”
"What the hell!" Randy Foye said with a weak heart.
"Then how did you get beaten like a soft-footed crab?" Zheng Ke didn't think that Randy Foye and they were really fooling around, and he spread his hands and showed a look that I was speechless.
"Fart!" Of course, Randy Foye would not admit that he was a soft-footed crab in front of his buddies, he showed off his biceps, and said confidently and firmly: "Look how Lao Tzu bursts their!" ”
Zheng Ke was amused by Randy Foye's words, he laughed and gave the lascivious guy a kick: "Then I'll see how you shoot them on the bench!" ”
Randy Ferje did exactly what he said, and when he got back on the court, he fired first, and as Whitman had been told, he ran out of the air, then caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!
After scoring the goal, this kid raised his eyebrows proudly and sent a smug message to Zheng Ke's side.
"Good shot!" Whitman took the lead in applauding, Zheng Ke and the others applauded, and Zheng Ke gave Randy Ferje a thumbs up.
However, the Pacers' bench is still a bit of a sinister, Daniels is like a hanging, jumping up and shooting a three-pointer when the 24 seconds are about to end, and he can still hit it.
The Timberwolves' benches were suppressed by the Pacers' benches, Whitman saw this, looked at Zheng Ke who was eager to try, waved his hand, closed the door, and let the wolf go!
Zheng Ke came on the court, he replaced his inactive teammate Snyder, and in the face of the skinny Marquis Daniels in front of him, he showed a serious expression and said to him fiercely: "Your good days are over!" ”
Daniels was naturally not to be outdone, and he replied just as viciously: "Who do you think you are, rookie!" ”
Daniels was even worse off than Zheng Ke, and after graduating from college, he decided to participate in the '03 draft, but he was not drafted due to his lack of reputation, and later joined the Dallas Mavericks as a free agent. Daniels is thin, but he is sharp, and he is most criticized for his lack of three-point shooting ability as a shooting guard, except for the first season when his three-point shot was just above 30 percent, his career three-point shot has not been higher than 30 percent, but today, he is a bit of a villain, just now he hit a three-point shot that pressed the whistle
Zheng Ke enjoyed the process of blocking his opponents, and he was very happy every time he saw those so-called breakthrough masters unable to stand in front of his iron wall defense, and of course, he hated every time he made people break through his defense
Now, Daniels, who has just broken through and is very cool, has met the pervert Zheng Ke, who is the best at blocking this thin ball carrier.
Daniels really didn't want to be looked down upon so much by a junior, so his head was hot, and he stabbed his head into it all at once, and the muscles of the two obviously had a confrontation
"Hmm~" Daniels snorted, he felt himself hit his head against the stone wall, and a huge liliang bounced off Zheng Ke to himself, and his right hand that controlled the ball was slightly deformed, and the basketball suddenly left his control
"What a chance!" Zheng Ke's eyes lit up, like a vigorous cheetah seeing food in the grass, and suddenly rushed out!
Daniels felt that it was dark in front of him, and a huge figure stole the basketball, passing in front of his eyes, and a stream of air brought by the rapid movement blew on his face obviously, and his face became hot all of a sudden, but fortunately his skin was dark, and others couldn't see it, and they didn't know whether it was hot or ashamed
Zheng Ke dribbled to the front court alone, he looked back, his speed was too fast, and he rushed to the front court all of a sudden, and no one came to chase him.
What's the hesitation in this? 、
Zheng Ke hurriedly slowed down, took three small steps, and ended the attack with a tomahawk dunk with a big peng winged dunk
"It's beautiful!" Yang Jian, the host of the imperial court station, explained: "In the time we spoke, Zheng Ke stole Daniels' forced breakthrough, dribbled to the front court in one go, and completed a tomahawk-style dunk!" Zheng Ke came up and made meritorious contributions! ”
Yang Jian looked at the information on the computer and continued: "Zheng Ke is in a very good state today! He hasn't missed a shot so far and his percentage is 100 per cent! ”
"Yes," Yang Yi took Yang Jian's words at this time, he said: "Zheng Ke currently has 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 5 of 5, and the data is very comprehensive, which just proves that Zheng Ke is really a well-rounded player, and he is very talented in offense." ”
Yang Jian asked puzzledly: "But almost all foreign media believe that Zheng Ke is a defensive player, and his talent in defense is rare in ten years." ”
"That's right," Yang Yi cupped his eyes and continued, "Zheng Ke is indeed a player who is good at defense, his defense is very good, and at the moment, he is even better than his offense. However, Zheng Ke's offensive ability is also gradually getting stronger. I have a very interesting statistic here, Zheng Ke's average points per game in the past few months has shown a rapid upward trend, after Zheng Ke entered the NBA, he averaged 3.4 points per game in November, 7.8 points per game in December, 11.3 points per game in January, 13.6 points per game in February, and now he can average 15.2 points per game in March! ”
Yang Yi read so much data in one breath, quickly took a breath, and then continued: "You can see that Zheng Ke's score has been rising, which is due to the increase in his playing time, but more because his efficiency has been rising, so I think it is not correct to say that he is a pure blue-collar worker, or that his offensive talent is less than his defensive talent!" ”
At this time, Zheng Ke took advantage of Jefferson's block and rushed into the Pacers' interior line, causing Murphy's foul
Pacers head coach O'Brien didn't dare to make a big deal and quickly changed to all the main lineups, and Zheng Ke walked to the free throw line.
First Penalty Hit!
At the bottom of TNT's broadcast screen were Zheng Ke's stats for the season.
Yang Jian hurriedly reported Zheng Ke's data, and said: "The bottom of the screen gives Zheng Ke's average data this season, Zheng Ke played an average of 29.2 minutes per game this season, scored 12.2 points per game, averaged 3.8 rebounds per game and averaged 2.5 assists per game, ranking third among all rookies in terms of points per game, behind Durant and Yi Jianlian, ranking second on the rookie power list."
Zheng Ke naturally saw Granger, Dunleavy and others on the court, but he was not worthy of anyone, Daniels was resting, then his defensive object should be Granger, he turned his head to look at Granger, Granger also looked here, and the eyes of the two collided slightly in the air
After Granger and others came on the court, the Pacers' offensive embarrassment was alleviated, and Dunleavy performed very well!
As a shooter, Dunleavy Jr. has not had many amazing performances since entering the league, but this season, with the Pacers, Dunleavy played his peak season, he averaged 19.1 points per game, shooting 47 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point range
Dunleavy and Granger are both about 2.05 meters tall and 2.06 meters tall, Zheng Ke can only defend one person, and he doesn't have a doppelganger technique to get two anti-aircraft guns at the same time, so if the Timberwolves want to win, they must beat the Pacers offensively!
Fortunately, Jefferson and Zheng Ke performed well, and with Jaric and McCantz both able to throw three-pointers, the Timberwolves were able to compete with the Pacers in the game.
Zheng then hit another 3-pointer from the outside, and he scored 17 points on 6-of-6 shooting at the end of the first half to give the Timberwolves a one-point lead over the Pacers at 54-53 heading into the second half
