Chapter 373: Record

This year's NBA playoffs are scheduled for April 16, so the Timberwolves have only seven regular season games in April.

Heading into April, the Timberwolves had a 69-6 record.

This record has surpassed the performance of any team in NBA history at the same time, and the Timberwolves only need to win three more games to tie the Jordan Bulls' best record; The Timberwolves only need to lose three or fewer games in their remaining games to surpass the Jordan Bulls' record.

It was a moment that shocked Minnesotans, the world.

The commercial brands that Zheng Ke participated in have all made a lot of money. Data shows that in the entire North American basketball shoe sales market in March, Adidas actually surpassed Nike by 0.7 percentage points.

Nike, as a giant in the basketball shoe industry, has occupied the largest market share since the Jordan era. And now this point has been shaken because of Zheng Ke. When the report came out, it caused an uproar. Although Nike's CEO has repeatedly emphasized that Nike is currently in a period of strategic adjustment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nike has panicked.

Schwertz told Zheng that Nike had contacted him frequently during this time to discuss more deeply about Zheng's next sneaker contract.

To put it bluntly, Nike wants to poach people, poaching people from the hands of old rival Adidas, and it is with Zheng Ke's sneaker contract still two years to expire, which is unprecedented.

On April 1, the Timberwolves faced the challenge of the Miami Big Three at home.

The Heat under the young coach Spoelstra is the same as the Timberwolves. Both are the strongest defensive counter-attacking teams in the league. Each has two of the strongest athletes in the league and acts as arrowheads. The same unstoppable. The Timberwolves are much better defensively than the Heat, both as the main force and as a substitute. Love and Jordan Jr. (who finally started at the end of the season) form an interior lineup that can attack and defend, and Jordan Jr. is different from Pekovic in that he is extremely good at helping defense and has a strong rebounding ability.

And Pekovic, who was delegated to the bench, relied on tonnage and size to play with Lowry like a fish in water.

James. Wade and Bosh did quickly put together a really great lineup. But it is difficult for the Heat to fill the vacancies of a large number of excellent role players released in order to make up for the Big Three, like their point guards, who are often replaced, and now they have become the starters of McBiby in their hometown, and the interior can only use Dampier who is almost only a block, compared with the Timberwolves' long-term operation model, which is simply two extremes.

The two teams were evenly matched at half-time. The Timberwolves lead by one point at 52-51.

The third quarter became a quarter in which the Timberwolves scored points, and the Timberwolves scored 34 points in the entire third quarter, and Zheng Ke scored 17 points alone. The Heat only scored 20 points in this quarter, and the Big Three combined scored a total of 16 points in this quarter, just 1 point less than Zheng Ke personally.

The Timberwolves continued to extend their lead in the fourth quarter, with Billups and Brewer hitting three-pointers in quick succession. Little Jordan on the inside line relied on his height and arm span to bounce well, turning over the river and the sea. Wade broke through and won the dunk, but it was a drop in the bucket and to no avail. Zheng Ke scored 4 points in a row with a basket and a mid-range shot, and Lefu scored three shots from the outside. The Timberwolves finally beat the Heat by 111-92 points, and unexpectedly took the Heat away in a wave.

The contrast between the Heat and the Bulls and the Timberwolves is surprising. At the same time, questions have begun to question the Heat's interior rebounding ability and defensive prowess. Like this game, Lefu and Jordan Jr. scored a total of 27 rebounds, while Bosh and Dampier combined for only 6 rebounds, and the Heat team rebounded the most with Wade, relying on a small man of 1.93 meters to grab rebounds, barely protective. Needless to say, the strength of the interior defense is the best proof of Zheng Ke's easy dunk or layup after many breakthroughs.

The Timberwolves won the Heat and also won their 70th win, and they are getting closer and closer to the record.

Events in the athletic world even alarmed the U.S. government, with the mayor of Minneapolis attending the scene of the Timberwolves' 71-win run from the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies Twin Towers have carved a bloody path for them this season, and it is amazing that such a competitive place in the West can still be ranked in 8th place.

In the team, the combination of Conley, Tony Allen, Rudy Gay, Randolph and Marc Gasol can be called both offensive and defensive. There is no shortage of giants like Mayo on the bench.

The competition was held on April 3 at the Target Center and attracted huge attention.

In the end, it was the Timberwolves who won 106-89, and Zheng Ke scored 38 points in this game after scoring 39 points in the previous game, but he did not reach 40 points, just because he sat on the bench in the last half of the last quarter of the game, and if he wanted to brush up the data, it was easy to score more than 50 points.

Many media outlets sang praises for the Timberwolves, believing that it was only a matter of time before the Timberwolves broke the record. Everyone laughed when they heard this nonsense, and there were 5 games left, unless the Timberwolves lost 5 in a row, otherwise a tie would be a sure thing. But let the Timberwolves lose 5 in a row this season, unless they are collectively poisoned.

So amid the curses of Nets fans praying for the collective poisoning of their Timberwolves teammates, the bandit legion came to New Jersey.

Fear? Worry? Or do you think the league's schedule is too bad?

At that moment, the hearts of Nets fans were mixed. Why is this time to play against our team? Who's on the schedule? Sick

As for the victory, they may have forgotten about it.

Fans don't have confidence, and the New Jersey Nets, who are at the bottom of the East, are even less confident. In the first quarter, he was able to compete with the Timberwolves, but at the beginning of the second quarter, he was completely at a disadvantage, Zheng Ke hit three consecutive shots outside the three-point line, setting off a wave of 14-2 "gaochao", and a wave of nearly 15 points ahead.

After that, the Nets were like actors, playing dejectedly, and the Timberwolves easily won this 72nd victory

The Timberwolves equaled the record of the best record of the season set by the Jordan Bulls more than a decade ago, and Zheng Ke can contribute 34.9 points per game, which is intolerable not to become the MVP of the regular season.

And after the Timberwolves tie the record, there are still four games left for them to break the record.

On April 7, the Timberwolves rushed back to their home court to prepare for the challenge of the Suns.

New Jersey fans complain about the league's schedule, and so do Suns fans. The market effect caused by the record breaking is huge, and the tickets for the target center are hard to find, and most of the teams in the NBA are in a state of negative profit and loss, and Glenn Taylor can wake up with a smile in his dream of having such a market.

Before the game, in the team locker room.

The players, you talked, and I chatted with excitement on their faces. Today is an unforgettable day, the Timberwolves are very likely to make history, just like the team that won the match point 3-0, and all the players of the Timberwolves could not contain the excitement in their hearts, including the always calm Zheng Ke and Billups.

At this time, the system suddenly sent out a prompt: all the members of the Timberwolves entered the [excited] state, and then increased the overall ability value by two to five.

"This" Zheng Ke was taken aback, he had only seen the bull [excited] a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be the turn of the timberwolves immediately, this [excited] state is unavoidable, it belongs to all doping, and it is the one that cannot be detected.

Zheng Ke turned his head to see that Lefou's ability value was already 91 (88+3), Billups 84 (82+2), Afflaro 83 (79+4), and Jordan Jr. 73 (68+5). The ability value of the first five tigers has all grown by leaps and bounds, Zheng Ke looked at the bench again, and Lowry actually broke through the 80 mark, and as far as the eye could see, it was all red.

Zheng Ke felt sad for the Suns in his heart, he was no longer the opponent of the Timberwolves, and he encountered the Timberwolves' [excited] state, how can this be played?

Behind a great record there will always be a corpse of enemies.

The Suns didn't want to lose the game like that, even though they knew in their hearts that the difference between the two was not half a point. Nash, Dudley, Grant Hill, Channingfrye and Marcin Gortat. The Suns' starting five look bleak, and although Nash is the league's first assists list, the Suns are only 10th in the West, and they have announced two days ago that they have theoretically lost the possibility of winning a playoff ticket.

After the tee, Jordan Jr. jumped to win over Gortat.

Since Jordan Jr. became the starting center, the Timberwolves have greatly improved their jump shots, and they have suddenly climbed from the league's lowest jump ball level to the top level.

The jump ball is not without merit, it seems to be just the first wave of offensive possession. For example, like the current home court of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves jumped the ball successfully, and immediately the energetic spectators burst into the first wave of cheers, they applauded, roared, and showed their enthusiasm with a wild state, which made the morale of the Timberwolves players on the court skyrocket.

However, today's Timberwolves players are in a special state, and in the [excited] state, it is a super-level rhythm.

The first time Zheng Ke broke through, Lefu blocked the highest level of blocking and dismantling effect, and the defensive Hill was almost knocked to a stumble. After Zheng Ke passed, he faced the veteran player Qian Ning Frye and made a jump shot.

Hit!

Simple and domineering, Channing Fry can't change his guard at all, he wants to get closer for fear of being over, and if he wants to go farther, he will be ** immediately.

The jump shot that ignores the height gap is accurate and frustrating.

Fans are still speculating about how many quarters the Timberwolves can beat the Suns, some say it is half time, some say it is three quarters, but unexpectedly, the Timberwolves only took half a quarter to play a jaw-dropping score difference (to be continued).
