Chapter Forty-Three: Fighting Roy Again

After the game against the Hornets, the Timberwolves temporarily have a three-day holiday, during which there is the most important holiday for foreigners - Christmas, just like the Chinese New Year, when this festival is approached, the streets are always lit up and happy.

Zheng Ke's apartment is a small two-bedroom apartment, although it is not large, Zheng Ke is too lazy to decorate his nest on this special day, because he still has difficulty identifying with Christmas as a Western holiday. Zheng Ke stood on the balcony, looking at the high-rise buildings in the distance, looking at the endless stream of vehicles under his feet, and he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness from the bottom of his heart. Although he has long been accustomed to this feeling, Zheng Ke still doesn't want to taste this taste, it's so fucking unpleasant!

Zheng Ke doesn't have many friends, but now at this time, they will all return to their families, even Qin Yue has returned to China on vacation, and Zheng Ke has become a real loner.

Normally, when Zheng Ke can't stand this feeling, he will choose to go to the stadium to practice, but not in the past few days. "The staff at the stadium should be on vacation!" Zheng Ke thought to himself.

He returned to the couch in the living room and turned on the TV remotely, and it happened that the local Minnesota TV station was broadcasting NBA news, broadcasting news from yesterday's game. A total of 9 games were played yesterday, and the Hornets' 34-point home bloodshed against the Timberwolves firmly dominated the headlines, and the god-level performance of CP3 earned him the title of "St. Paul"; The Spurs beat the Clippers 99-90 at home, with Duncan scoring 34 points and 18 boards, and Carman having 20 points and 10 boards; The Bucks narrowly defeated the Bobcats 103-99 at home, Yi Jianlian's performance was eye-catching, with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals, and the performance of the first 12 shots stunned the American children, which made him jump to the second place on the rookie list after the game, second only to Kevin Durant, the first rookie in the West

The Raptors lost 103-122 to the Suns, with Bosh scoring a game-high 42 points and Nash dishing out 16 assists; The Rockets had 7 double-doubles and beat the Bulls away; Kidd had a triple-double, and the Nets narrowly beat the Warriors; The Grizzlies lost to the 76ers at home and continued to finish at the bottom of the league, Pau Gasol has made clear the news of a transfer, and the Lakers seem to be desperately seeking the possibility of trading Gasol

Next is the top ten ball moment, Yi Jianlian's steal outside the three-point line, and then rushed to the front court to board the NBA's official top ten balls of the day In addition, the air catches of St. Paul and Chandler were also selected as today's top ten balls, which is probably the truest portrayal of the Weishenme Timberwolves being washed in blood

Zheng Ke really didn't know what to do, he watched TV boredly, and continued to carry forward the otaku spirit in his bones

###################################################

Fortunately, there are not a few days of this kind of day, this kind of lonely days when others enjoy family reunions and Zheng Ke enjoys being alone has finally passed, and the Timberwolves have re-embarked on the journey, and Zheng Ke has re-embarked on the journey

After returning from Christmas, many of the Timberwolves' players were not in a good state of mind, they had just enjoyed the reunion with their families, but it didn't take long for them to start working again, which is really unpleasant, just like the Chinese New Year, the second day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone will be bored

And the Timberwolves also suffered a wave of 4 consecutive away games, and the Timberwolves lost all 4 consecutive away games, and if you add the away game against the Hornets in front of you, the Timberwolves have suffered 5 consecutive defeats on the road

The team is losing, but Zheng Ke's strength is constantly growing, Zheng Ke's three-point shooting ability value has reached 80, the mid-range shooting ability value has reached 60, the offensive rating has reached 65, and the overall rating has reached 67. Although Zheng Ke's strength is growing, the team's poor performance, coupled with his lackluster performance, has made his ranking in the rookie power list still unchanged, still 9th and 10th, and sometimes falling out of the power rankings.

The Timberwolves can't afford to lose anymore, and if they continue to lose, this season will not only be hopeless in the playoffs, but will also enter a bad rhythm! Fans are very dissatisfied with the Timberwolves' away performance, and they have left messages on the Timberwolves' official website, hoping that the Timberwolves can play bloody and play at a level after returning to their home court!

Head coach Whitman said aggressively before the game that this game must be won!

This is the second time Zheng Ke has seen him in two months, Roy! The young leader of the trailblazers. Yes, the Timberwolves will take on the Trail Blazers at the target center.

Through the skill Eye of Heaven, Zheng Ke was surprised to find that Roy's ability had increased, 85! This surprised Zheng Ke, after all, it is very difficult to grow in the ability value after 80, and even some players are troubled by talent, and it is not impossible to grow one step later, and it is estimated that only Zheng Ke has a "one-handed ball" system that can really fully tap his potential

Roy walked over, gave Zheng Ke a big hug hard, and said with a smile: "It's getting stronger, rookie." ”

Zheng Ke slapped Roy's back hard, haha smiled, and replied: "You too, I look forward to fighting you later, this time I won't be covered, right?" ”

After the simple pre-race preparation ceremony, the competition officially begins!

The bald referee Crawford threw the ball into the air, Jefferson and Aldridge roared, the two big men jumped up almost at the same time, and the two thick arms were entangled together like two tumbling dragons and soared into the sky.

The basketball flew straight towards Stephen Blake, Blake stared at the basketball and was about to reach out his hands to catch the ball, but a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and before he could react, the black shadow had already grabbed the basketball and disappeared from his field of vision

This lightning-like black shadow is Zheng Ke, he moved too fast, and to everyone's surprise, Zheng Ke grabbed the basketball, quickly dribbled a few times to the Trail Blazers half, faced the empty basket and chose a straight-arm tomahawk to complete the attack

The audience cheered, but they didn't expect Zheng Ke to complete such a hot dunk at the beginning, and the atmosphere in the target center suddenly became hot in this cold season

Roy has already shown his temperament as a leader, and he comforts Blake who was stealed: "It's okay brother, the game has just begun, let's give them back!" ”

Roy did exactly what he said, and when he came back, he faced Zheng Ke's defense, used feints to cheat a little space, and then shot near the free throw line

Roy's movements are still so unpretentious, and after breaking through to 85, he seems to have become a true All-Star caliber player, and even if Zheng Ke has defended well, he can still score

Zheng Ke used his trash talk trick again: "The warm-up work is good!" ”

Roy kept his mouth shut, and after playing against most of the league's top scoring machines, everyone in the league now knows that the Timberwolves have a trash talk master - Zheng Ke, whose unique Chinese-style trash talk has created a new breed of trash talk in the NBA

In this game, the confrontation between Jefferson and Aldridge is also a highlight, the two new generation of big forwards are so talented and promising, but at present, it seems that Jefferson's ability value is slightly higher than Aldridge's. Jefferson took the ball and singled Aldridge with his back, and just lost to Aldridge in the jump, Jefferson felt very embarrassed, because he did his best to jump, which is also the goal he set for himself in this game - go all out!

Jefferson used his feet to shake off a bit of space and hit the ball with a small hook

Not to be outdone, the Trail Blazers here immediately scored a three-pointer by James Jones Timberwolves Telfair commanded the tactical run, McCantz and Zheng Ke ran out of the three-point line at the same time, and there was an empty opportunity at the same time, Telfair didn't have time to think about it, it was completely subconscious, and passed to McCantz, the team's first three-point shooter, McCantz received the ball and shot, but the shot hit the point, and the basketball hit the back edge of the basketball

Aldridge protected the rebound in the backcourt and handed it to Roy. Roy is an excellent battlefield commander, he directs his teammates' runs, Zheng Ke probably hasn't played against Roy for too long, and he doesn't know his playing style, Roy's command is fake, and the breakthrough is the real Zheng Ke is half a step behind, and he can't jump when he is squeezed by Roy, Roy hits a low-post layup, which is probably the legendary tank layup
