Chapter 169: The Grand Prize

Although Yao Ming scored 22 points and became the best player in the half, in fact, it was not him who scored the most in the half, but Zheng Ke, who scored 25 points in the half, including 5 three-point shots!

This made countless fans who followed this Chinese derby very happy, and there is no Chinese who do not want to see yellow-skinned, black-eyed people in the NBA. People like a star, sometimes because of a game scored by a star, sometimes because of a goal scored by a star, and even sometimes, just because of the name of the star, the appearance matches their taste.

The Drexler midfielder commented on the game: "The Rockets showed their No. 1 dominance in the West, and the Timberwolves also showed their tenacity. Yao Ming made good use of his physical advantages, facing Anderson, who was shorter than him and lighter than him, Yao Ming could not only eat liliang raw, but also roll over and jump shot in the middle distance, and he didn't have to worry about being covered, he completely showed the demeanor of a super center. The best of the half was well deserved. ”

"That back-to-back three-pointer, wow, what a great shot!" Randy Foye said with an exaggerated expression, he is also a good shooter at three-point shooting, and he really admires Zheng Ke's performance just now.

"It's okay," Zheng smiled bitterly: "No matter how good we vote, we are still lagging behind." ”

Still, he wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Whitman's fierce expression, he stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

"Boys, you're playing well!" Surprisingly, Whitman's expression relaxed, and then he smiled: "You guys have been playing hard, to be honest." After the first quarter, I thought we were going to lose. ”

"Hehe" the Timberwolves players burst into laughter.

"We got through the saddest hurdle, you know. The Rockets, although they are number one in the West, are not invincible, they are not very complete in their roster, and we have a lot of opportunities. Maddie has an injury and can't play for too long, and Yao Ming's physical strength has always been an issue, so the Rockets will definitely play with all their strength in the third quarter. Win or lose with us, so we have to focus all our attention in the third quarter."

The Toyota Center held a shooting draw at halftime. A pot-bellied man drew a half-court shot, and if he could make it, he would receive $20,000.

It was a man who lacked exercise, and his flabby body reflected how much the owner usually didn't love sports. He snorted and ran down from his seat. His forehead was already sweating slightly, and even his breathing was noticeably heavier.

Team Rocket's mascot, Rocket Bear, gave him the ball with a look of disdain, and of course, others couldn't see his expression. The Rockets were skeptical that he would be able to shoot the ball inside the three-point line.

The host interviewed him: "Hello, what's your name?" “

"My name is Edmund, sir." The man smiled innocently.

The host asked, "Haode, Mr. Edmund, are you coming to the game alone?" Are you a Rocket fan? “

"Not really. Mr. The man scratched his head with his free hand and said, "I'm here with my wife." She's a die-hard Rockets fan. I'm actually a golf fan, and I was hard-pulled by her. “

The audience immediately erupted in laughter.

The host was pleased with the atmosphere of the scene, he smiled and said to the man, "Okay, Mr. Golf, please start shooting." “

The audience burst into laughter again.

The man grabbed the basketball awkwardly, it seemed that he really couldn't play basketball, these basketballs that could be grabbed by an NBA player with one hand seemed to be not so obedient to his hands, he looked at the basket, looked at the ball, and then aimed at the basket, and then threw it with all his might.

The arc of the basketball flying out is obviously not the optimal arc, but it can be seen that this is already the man's greatest strength to throw out, flying in the air for a while, getting closer and closer to the basket

"Even-bought karma." The host subconsciously said that he seemed to have predicted something in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, the basketball passed through the frame and turned up a snow-white net.

"Wow!" The audience erupted in amazement, followed by a tsunami of cheers, the host was not calm, and Barkley, Smith, and Drexler who were broadcast on TNT also stood up and applauded.

Rocket Bear pounced on Edmund, and the two sleek guys immediately fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

", Alexander is really rich." Zheng Ke saw this scene at the entrance of the passage and thought to himself

At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets put out their real starters, Brooks, Maddy, Battier, Artest, Yao Ming.

This is a big and four small lineup, Artest is definitely short to play the position of big forward, but the Timberwolves' big forward is not Garnett, Duncan's kind of 7-foot man, Lefou's height is 2.08 meters, it seems to be the height of shoes, height has never been Lefou's advantage, this is just a basic point as not to let other people's height become an advantage.

Yao Ming stood up to Anderson's defense, turned over and hit the first goal of the second half, and it seemed that he was still hot.

"Fast Break"

After Zheng Ke served, he yelled, and then ran to the front court with his legs.

Zheng Ke's voice was amazingly loud, which startled all the soldiers of Team Rocket on the field, and Yao Ming was even more shocked in his heart, he was the most afraid of fast attack, so he hurriedly ran forward.

Then, after all the Rockets players ran through the halfcourt, they found Billups unhurriedly controlling the ball, and Zheng Ke and him walked slowly towards their own half.

That's right, exactly go!

The Rockets players were immediately angry with Zheng Ke and glared at Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke didn't feel like he had done anything wrong at all, he really wanted to attack quickly just now, but he didn't expect Yao Ming and them to react so fiercely and run so actively, so they simply gave up the fast attack, and he didn't expect that the players of the Rocket Team were too involved, plus Lefu and they ran together, so he didn't find that Zheng Ke and Billups were swimming in the back

"Block one!" Billups held out two fingers and called for Love to come out and do the pick-and-roll.

Zheng Ke of the bottom line took advantage of the referee's insight, secretly pushed Battier, and then slipped into the inside line at once, and Billups, who attracted the attention of Yao Ming on the inside, played a pass without looking at people and distributed it to Zheng Ke who cut in.

Zheng Ke took two steps and lifted the ball above his head.

"Peng!"

One-handed split!

66 to 57.

Maddie sinks in front of Afralo. Dribble the ball at a faster speed and perform a crotch dribble skillfully.

Afflaro doesn't dare to be careless now. After he came to the Timberwolves, he has always regarded himself as a defensive giant, and the outside media also commented on it, but Whitman asked Zheng Ke to change the defense of Maddie in the first half, which deeply stimulated him, and in the second half he took the initiative to ask Whitman for help, and he was bound to make up for it.

The ball passed under the crotch and came to Maddie's right hand, and his whole person immediately had a right-hand appearance, and before Aflaro could react, the basketball that was originally in his right hand suddenly disappeared as if by magic!

Yao Ming, who was in a deep position on the inside, received Maddie's pass with both hands, and he immediately pressed Anderson and turned to hook his hand. This time, his position was too deep, and as soon as his hand was raised, it was as if he was about to touch the basket, and with a slight hook, the basketball obediently ran into the basket.

68 to 57.

This can't be done, Whitman's brows furrowed terribly, Yao Ming still can't contain this.

"Zheng!"

Whitman gesticulated and commanded.

Zheng Ke replied to one, saying that he knew, and in fact, he was ready to use this tactic. He looked at Billups and nodded slightly.

In the next round, the Timberwolves suddenly accelerated!

Billups rushed to the frontcourt, Zheng Ke made a block for him, and to everyone's surprise, Billups went straight to the jumper, and Battier was a little slower to change.

"Huh!" Hit!

68 to 60.

Adelman, who was sitting on the sidelines, chuckled in his heart, feeling as if something was wrong, but then he laughed to himself, what could it be?

Billups quietly ran to Brooks' side and said, "Aaron, how is this bukkake?" ”

"What?"

Zheng Ke, who was "just happeningly" passing by on the side, kindly explained: "He said that he shot you in the face, referred to as bukkake." Then the two of them laughed and stepped back.

Brooks' face suddenly turned red, his eyes seemed to burn with a fire, and his angry head was about to burst. "No, I can't be fooled, they obviously did it on purpose, I want to be calm." Brooks is also the one who has seen the scene, what kind of trash talk has not been seen? He told himself to be calm and calm.

Although he suppressed himself so much, the burning fire in his heart kept burning, and there seemed to be a demonic voice in his head telling him all the time: One more!

Artest made an offensive error and the ball was handed to the Timberwolves.

Billups rushed through the half court with the ball and handed it to Zheng Ke, who was fast down, Zheng Keqiang took a step forward and stopped to shoot!

The basketball brushed out of the frame, and the rebound was taken by Artay.

Atai handed it to Brooks, and Brooks began to run wildly, running across the half court in a puff of smoke, facing Billups, he dribbled under his hips a few fancy, and broke through Billups' defense with a burst of toes! Yao Ming jammed Anderson, and Brooks was immediately a coquettish little throw!

"Hmph, old bones!" Brooks was proud, but he didn't see the hint of banter in Billups' eyes.

"Be careful!" Yao Ming's heavy prompt came from his ears, but in the slightly noisy voices of the audience, Brooks didn't hear what he said.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared above Brooks' head, and he looked down on the little black bean like a sturdy eagle, and then stretched out his claws

It's like a skinny prey that has been photographed by a strong predator.

only heard a "snap", and the basketball was flown out by Zheng Ke's not thick arm.

Brooks's dark face suddenly became hot (to be continued......
