Sweat oozed from Jefferson's forehead and ran densely down his cheeks.

Jefferson had never struggled so hard to defend a player, trash talk, small movements, he had already used eighteen martial arts, but he still felt that his physical strength was passing quickly, as if Zheng Ke was equipped with skills that specifically consumed his physical strength.

Actually, it's not that far off. Zheng Ke has five skill slots.

With the exception of the Chase Cap Master, Blocking Defender, Finisher, and One-Handed Ball, he has always been equipped with the "Scout" skill Eye of Heaven. Last night, Zheng Ke finally updated and canceled this skill. In the game, this skill has little effect, at most it can only help Zheng Ke understand the opponent's ability value. For example, Jefferson, who is opposite him, has 83 stats, Duncan 92, Ginobili 89, and Parker 86. There are also four people in the Spurs team with an ability value of more than 80, which is not much better than the Timberwolves, not to mention that the Timberwolves also injured a Lefu with an ability value of 85.

Zheng Ke really wanted to win, he spent all his GS points and bought the Aggressive skill from the shop.

Aggressive: A player who is able to consume opposing physical energy. When there is contact between a stance, a basket in the restricted area, an empty-handed collision, an empty-handed run and a forced shot, the player will expend more energy than normal on the defender or the defender.

He thought very clearly, although he took the violent flow route, but shooting was his main means of scoring. Jefferson wasn't top-tier defensively, but he did interfere with himself a lot. It's like when his stats were very low. Troubles caused by frantic defense to some of the top swingers. The Spurs used stamina tactics at the end of the last game, which hurt him a little because he had 95 stamina. Zheng Ke has always been known as an ironman player in the NBA.

He has coveted the skill of the combatant for a long time, and he has never been ruthless to buy it before. Because this A-rated skill requires a full 8000 GS points, it would take him almost ten matches to earn it back. Compared to the flashy skills of "Ankle Terminator" or "Aerial Magician", this practical skill is obviously more to his liking.

The effect is clear.

Jefferson's physical strength declined very quickly, and he was only halfway through the first quarter, and he felt a little uncomfortable in the frequent physical contact with Zheng Ke. His reaction was only a little slower by half a beat. Zheng Ke will walk away.

"Hell!"

Jefferson's face was gloomy, was it because he was entangled with that beautiful bar dancer last night? Damn, I just shot it!

Simply yes. Duncan's performance on the inside is extremely stable, and in several encounters with Gibson, Gibson has been very embarrassed. He shot 4-of-5 from the field in the first quarter and made two free throws. He scored a team-high 10 points. This gives the two teams some balance in terms of points difference. Duncan exploded on the inside, and Zheng Ke exploded on the outside.

At the end of the day, the Timberwolves led the Spurs by one point at 26-25.

The proximity of the score made the fans excited. As fans, in addition to hoping for the team they support to win, a wonderful and anxious game is also what they want to see the most. Especially when the two teams have been inseparable, the hearts of the fans are actually beating fast like the players on the field.

After the first quarter, substitutes from both teams came on.

On the Timberwolves' side is a lineup led by Allen. The Spurs' side is a lineup led by Parker. Two defenders, who were also not very tall, met each other on the tip of the needle. Parker's small throw after the breakaway was very hot. Iverson is also adept at using this essential skill for a defender; As he got older, Parker's mid-range jumpers became more accurate after pick-and-rolls, and Iverson's mid-range has always been his biggest weapon.

In the proportion of AI career offense, mid-range jumpers account for more than 50%. He didn't always rely on driving layups and fouls to win the scoring title, but because of the beautiful mid-range shooting that almost every outside player in the 90s and early 21st century.

The Timberwolves bench lineup under his leadership completely imitated the way the 76ers won the Eastern Conference championship. Birdman Anderson on the inside is a poor man's version of Uncle Mu, and veteran Brad Miller is an excellent mid-range finisher. On the perimeter, Brewer defends well and shoots accurately, and Iverson only needs to play his best role – stringing the team and attacking non-stop.

However, such a second team, which was almost invincible in the regular season, also played very badly against the Spurs.

After Parker replaced George Hill, he instantly revitalized the Spurs' bench lineup. Really, like his nickname, the French sports car ignited the engine. Ordinary bench lineup, but can play not simple tactical routines, Bonner, Gambos, Blair, these bench bandits are not inferior to today's Timberwolves bench lineup.

In the drumming of the fans, the two teams launched a battle that was not inferior to the main lineup.

Parker, who was holding the ball, beckoned Bonner to cover with him. Parker slipped into the interior and instantly attracted two players from Iverson and Anderson to defend. Parker didn't look back, grabbed the ball with both hands and threw it behind his head, and Bonner, who was outside the three-point line, caught Parker's pass.

Bonner's three-point shooting ability really puts most guards to shame - his career three-point shooting percentage is over 40 percent! This big man born in the United States has been mistaken for a baby from Europe by the Spurs before, and in the United States, which focuses on interior physical confrontation, it is strange that such a big man with particularly accurate long-range shooting can be regarded as strange.

It is worth mentioning that Bonner, who graduated from the University of Florida, can barely be regarded as Zheng Ke's senior brother. But today, the senior brother didn't give any face, and when he came up for the first time, he made a steady three-point shot.

The Spurs outscored the Timberwolves by two points, 30-28.

Switching offense and defense, Iverson got the chance to attack.

Outside the three-point line, with the help of Anderson's blocking, he directly passed Bonner, and before the Spurs' supplementary defense arrived, Iverson made a direct mid-range pull-up jumper.

Also in it!

The two teams are tied by 30 points.

"Run online, run online!"

“GO。 GO，GO！ Rush up, rush up! ”

Whitman on the sidelines looked extra energetic today. Xizhun is straight, personable and atmospheric. In a rare veyard, he kept yelling on the sidelines, directing the Timberwolves' overall offense and defense. It seems that he really didn't want to lose this game, and faced Spurs and did his best

Time gradually passed in the shouts of everyone, but the score difference never fluctuated much.

When Zheng Ke played. It was already the sixth minute of the second quarter, and the Timberwolves led the Spurs by one point at 38-37.

"Well done!"

"Come on!"

Zheng Ke and Anderson, who came off the court, high-fived, and the two encouraged each other.

Outside the three-point line. Jefferson, who also rested for most of the quarter, looked like he had regained his strength, he twisted his neck, and looked intently at Zheng Ke, who was advancing with the ball in front of him, with a solemn expression.

"Smack. Syllable. Smack"

Zheng Ke casually slapped the basketball on the floor, and the basketball was like a pixie, surrounding him, obediently swinging back and forth under his crotch.

Billups interspersed runs and was about to rush to the outside of the three-point line.

Zheng Ke plucked the ball with one hand, and the basketball was like a cannonball, whistling out. But surprisingly, it wasn't Billups, who flew to the outside of the three-point line and was about to become vacant. but

Instead, it smashed directly into the inside line, and the ball was extremely fast. It's like breaking through the air.

Pekovic, who was in the empty space under the basket, subconsciously stretched out his hands, but the basketball was accurately stuffed into his hands. He was so excited that he almost didn't let go, and after reacting, he jumped up directly to fill the frame.

The pass was so beautiful that many of the spectators at the scene didn't react yet.

When it was time to replay, the audience suddenly realized that Zheng Ke's pass actually flew under the basket. In the replay shot, Zheng Ke's passing is not very good, if everyone keeps an eye on his pass, they will find that the line is very simple, just a little faster, but the strange thing is that when you don't watch the replay, it feels like the basketball suddenly disappeared from his hand.

It's called visual impact, and being unprepared and being prepared are two different things.

Zheng Ke was also very satisfied with his pass this time, hidden, fast and accurate. He waved back with his palms and motioned for everyone to retreat.

"Strange, why didn't it work?"

At this time, Popovich on the Spurs bench frowned. Zheng Ke's outstanding performance made him feel a little uneasy, and he couldn't understand why the Timberwolves were like no troublemaker, if his Spurs were hit by such a huge impact, it would be impossible for the horror to continue. Internal contradictions are always the sharpest knife that undermines the overall combat effectiveness from the inside out.

"In that case."

Popovich's eyes lit up, and he beckoned Ginobili, who had been resting for a while, to find him, and said in his ear: "Wait a while, you will come on the field to replace Gambos." The Timberwolves had a great hand today, Zheng Ke was in very good shape, and we need a wave of offensive shockwaves to play with momentum now, and you go up and take possession of the ball and try to play it before the end of the first half. ”

"I understand, Coach." Ginobili nodded repeatedly, indicating that he fully understood.

Zheng Ke on the court took advantage of Pekovic's cover to shake off a little space of "kraft candy", he took the basketball and leaned his back against Jefferson a few times in a row to attract Parker's bag.

Zheng Ke grabbed the basketball with one hand and made a passing gesture to the outside, and the frightened Parker quickly took a step back.

Unexpectedly, he was a feint, after Zheng Ke withdrew the basketball, he quickly turned around, used his right foot as the axis, threw a clockwise backward jumper, and grazed Jefferson's fingertips to throw the ball out.

"Huh!"

Zheng Ke is already familiar with this kind of well-honed shooting action, and even the shooting rate is ridiculously high.

A minute later, Zheng Ke got a chance to play singles again in the same position, he took the ball in the middle and shook it sharply, and then turned over in the opposite direction and shot it, still hit!

Jefferson's face turned the color of pig liver, annoyed, and smashed the basketball in hatred (to be continued......)
