Both teams are entering the finals for the first time, and neither team has a lot of experience.

From the perspective of the lineup, both teams have a superstar, supplemented by a number of powerful players, but compared to Zheng Ke's pivotal role on both offensive and defensive ends, the Magic team relies more on Howard to bring qualitative change to the Magic on defense.

To be honest, Zheng Ke himself didn't expect that he could lead the team to such a point, and he felt that the Timberwolves did not have much advantage, but this year, the Timberwolves' character seems to be too good, and many games have been won when they fell into the fourth quarter of the scorching battle. On the one hand, it proves that Zheng Ke, Billups's big heart, proves the tenacity of the Timberwolves team, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is luck.

"Chris (Anderson) can't stop me." Howard held Zheng Ke's big hand and said with a smile, but his tone revealed his strong self-confidence.

"I'm afraid Hidu (Tekoglu) won't be able to stop me." Zheng Ke shook Howard's big hand hard, his eyes half-squinted, and said gloomily.

Howard smiled heartlessly and patted Zheng Ke on the shoulder.

Zheng Ke hugged the players of the Magic team one by one, always with a faint smile on his face, and his personable appearance looked atmospheric and calm.

The Finals between the Magic and the Timberwolves did not attract the attention of American audiences, but with an international superstar like Zheng Ke, the ratings of the NBA 09 Finals overseas skyrocketed, although it was not as exciting as when the Timberwolves played the Lakers in the second round, but it was considered to meet the minimum requirements of David Stern.

As the referee blew the whistle in the air. The '09 NBA Finals have officially begun!

Howard was physically stronger than the Birdman, and he was the first to point out the basketball, which was given to Ralph Alstone, the starting point guard of the Magic team today!

The Magic posed for Alstom. Contney Lee, Turkoglou, Lewis and Howard were the starting lineups, while Nelson, the starting point guard previously speculated by the Timberwolves, was put on the bench.

Looking at the high-spirited "Street Ball King", Zheng Ke didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly remembered a sentence: "If you don't want a rocket, it must be a high-quality product." ”

Alston was in the time of Nelson's injury earlier. Played well as a replacement for Nielsen. In several games against the Cavaliers, he scored 26 points in a single game, and even made 6 three-pointers in a single game. The performance is surprising.

Now. He dribbled skilfully across the half.

Billups immediately bullied himself, and Alstom's disadvantage was his slightly thin body. Billups had clearly done his homework before the game, and when he saw Alston, he immediately began to press him down with his physical advantage. Hopefully it can cause him trouble.

Alston beckoned inside from the three-point line at 45 degrees. Howard immediately ran out to cover the pick-and-roll. Lewis and Turkoglou in the bottom corner on either side, and Conteny Lee at 45 degrees to the left.

Billups was blocked by Howard, Anderson's footsteps couldn't keep up with Alstom, Zheng Ke immediately contracted his defense, ready to block Alstom, and at the same time he opened his left hand, observing Alston's movements, ready to intercept his pass at any time.

Alstom sees the void and the timing. The ball was given to Turkoglou, who had moved two steps.

Turkoglu was about to pull out a three-pointer, but Zheng Ke quickly turned and pounced. He was startled.

"That's a lot of movement speed!"

With a height of 2.08 meters, he still threw the ball out of the ball with confidence.

Hit.

The fans who were holding their breath at the scene immediately cheered, and when they saw the home team score, the Orlando fans immediately sent a deafening cheer and applause for the home team, and many fans felt that this was a good sign.

3 to 0.

"The media also said before the game that the two major highlights of this year's finals are whether Turkoglu of the Magic team can become the first Turk to win the NBA championship, and whether Zheng Ke of the Timberwolves can become the first Chinese to win the MVP of the finals." Highlights: Tekoglu scored a three-pointer, and Sun Zhengping, the commentator sent by the courtside station this year, immediately commented on Tekoglu.

In addition to Sun Zhengping, Zhang Weiping is also another on-site commentator sent by the imperial court today.

His unique voice continued with Sun Zhengping's words: "That's right, this is the highlight of this year's finals. In addition, how much performance Nielsen can perform after his comeback is also one thing that everyone pays more attention to. ”

Zheng Ke held the ball and pushed into the halfcourt, he shook left and right twice, then turned his back and slowly fell to the low post.

"Bang!"

The Turk was hit by Zheng Ke and stumbled and lost his center of gravity, Zheng Ke took a big step forward, turned his body to the middle, held the ball with both hands and bypassed Alstom, who came to help the defense, and then exerted his right foot and threw a jump shot backwards.

Also in it!

2 to 3.

Zheng Ke is a very strange player, the American media said: he is not very old, but the moves he uses on the court are the moves used by some old players, obviously he has a hand of exquisite ball control skills, but you rarely see Zheng Ke holding the ball. If it weren't for his frequent one-step passing and the sudden dunks that come twice from time to time, you wouldn't know that this is a super small forward with almost physical talent!

Howard asked for the ball in the low post, and Anderson curled his arms behind him.

After taking the ball, Howard turned around, he held the ball with his hands down vertically, and stared at Anderson with sharp eyes, he was so serious at the moment.

Howard's body moved slightly, holding the ball with both hands and shaking it left and right, and then turned around, his body stuck with Anderson, and his right hand was a small hook.

He pushed a little harder, and the basketball brushed out of the frame, and was easily rebounded by Love.

"Attack!"

The fast-break cells that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and in just an instant, the Timberwolves players completed the offensive and defensive switch, and Zheng Ke and Afflaro rushed to the front like arrows from the string.

The basketball swept high in the air and fell into Zheng Ke's hands, and Tekoglu was thrown away by him, and the speed advantage at this moment was fully displayed.

"2 to 0 in the front!" Director Zhang said with humor.

Zheng Ke shared the ball with Afflaro, Affralo dunked with one arm, the two looked at each other and smiled, and lightly high-fived and celebrated when they retreated. 4 to 3.

"Don't let them play a fast attack!" Big Van Gundy was furious when he saw such a scene, the Timberwolves are known for their fast offensive sharpness, and he repeatedly emphasized before the game that he should retreat quickly.

The players of the Magic team are not as big as Van Gundy, and they are more focused and focused.

The Timberwolves are no strangers to the Magic's tactics, whether it is Howard, the four shooters outside or the block-and-shoot are often used by the Timberwolves. Playing against the Magic felt like fighting another self, but the difference was that the Timberwolves players felt they did a better job of cutting and running their tactics.

Alstom's outside single-block cover shot, the basketball popped out of the frame, and Zheng Ke jumped high to pick up the rebound.

This time, the Magic retreated quickly, and as soon as Alstom made a move, all the players began to retreat, and the frontcourt rebounds were not ready to grab.

Billups holds the ball from the outside and stretches out his left hand to direct the Timberwolves to run.

Zheng Ke began to rush to the inside line from the 45 degrees of the line with the help of Lefou's cover, and the moment the tactics worked, Billups saw a slight delay in the change of the Magic's defensive formation, he flicked his wrist, and the basketball turned into an orange light, passing through the Magic's position to find Zheng Ke who was cutting into the air.

"叱~"

A violent friction sounded, Zheng Ke took a small step after receiving the ball, flicked his legs, and turned his body, like the most chic peerless knight, at that moment the sword was unsheathed!

"Huh!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, spun rapidly and passed through the net, causing the fans in the audience to sigh and curse Zheng Ke for being perverted.

Zheng Ke has no expression, shooting such a ball is as simple as eating and drinking water for him, if he can't shoot any time, he may have a fluctuation in his heart.

Offensive and defensive rotations, offensive opportunities for the Magic.

So far, Lewis hasn't had much of a chance to perform. Lefu has experienced several rounds of top-level interior line destruction, and suddenly once encountered an interior line that is relatively not so strong in physical confrontation, and suddenly felt a burst of relaxation on his body, and even the card position was much easier.

This time, Howard had a strong inside, awkward shooting stance, crooked hook shots, and barely rolled the ball into the basket after stumbling to add two points to the Magic.

6 to 5.

Three minutes later, the two teams were tied at 11 and the time entered the first official timeout. This timeout was counted on the home team, the Magic.

The cheers of the fans at the scene are getting louder and louder, and the game is gradually entering the white-hot stage (to be continued......
