Chapter 33: The End and the Gift

At the start of the second quarter, the two teams put their rotation lineups. The core of the Timberwolves' bench is the substitute small forward who was replaced by Zheng Ke, the black boy Ryan Gosman, the supersonic side replaced the old pitcher Szczebiak, the white interior Nick Collison and the explosive body of Jeff Green, the two are really difficult to distinguish.

The substitutes of the two teams attacked back and forth, and they played faster and more chaotic, but you came and went, and they also played vigorously. The bench lineup on the court also has little tactics, and for weak teams like the Timberwolves and SuperSonics, the main point guards may not be able to grasp the rhythm of the game well, let alone a bunch of benches playing on the court.

By the time the main players switched to the sidelines in the second quarter, the Timberwolves still led the SuperSonics by six points at 38-32.

At this time, Zheng Ke partnered with McCantz, and Gosman formed the outside line of the Timberwolves, and in this outside lineup, the height of the Timberwolves was not too much of a loss.

Durant suddenly found that the yellow-skinned player in front of him was difficult to entangle, his defense was very oppressive, Durant found that it was very difficult to hold the ball every time, and his shooting was even more distracted by him. It's not that he hasn't encountered a small forward like Zheng Ke before, but he can rely on his speed and shooting touch to solve the opponent, but today his hand is not good, and his speed is not enough to get rid of Zheng Ke, it's difficult to do, thinking of the depths, Durant couldn't help but sigh.

But what can be done? Life still has to go on, the game still has to go, Durant dribbles the ball at the top of the arc, thinks about it and beckons Kurt Thomas to come out and block the pick-and-roll.

Zheng Ke is a somewhat cautious man, and he still clearly remembers the ball that was shaded by Thomas in the first quarter, so the corner of his eye found that after Thomas came out to block and dismantle, his eyes rolled around, and then the corners of his mouth turned slightly, as if he thought of something

Zheng Ke didn't move his position on the court, and he didn't seem to notice Thomas stepping forward to block and dismantle, Durant was secretly happy, could it be that he was distracted, or my tactical gestures were too hidden? Whatever, Durant didn't have time to think about it, and made a large change of direction in front of his body, and Xiangyou moved sideways

Zheng Ke seemed to be unconscious and slammed into Thomas, but after touching Thomas, he seemed to hear a muffled snort from Thomas, and then Zheng Ke fell to the left side exaggeratedly as if he had been pushed hard, and let out a miserable scream from his mouth.

Yes~

Drip~

The opportunity was as he fell, and so did the referee's whistle. He did it! The referee blew the whistle and blew Thomas for a covering foul.

The referee actually didn't see the complete contact between Zheng Ke and Thomas, but with his years of experience in refereeing, if someone falls and screams, then someone must have committed a foul, so there is nothing wrong with blowing the whistle first. Seeing that Zheng Ke was "pushed", and Thomas's slightly raised arm, he decisively blew Thomas for a covering foul.

Thomas was not calm now, he almost defended to the referee in a roaring way: "The referee, you have been deceived by him, he is faking a fall, a fake fall!" That's like the angry little daughter-in-law who cried "the people's daughter is wronged" in the TV series.

The referee was splashed in the face by Thomas's spittle, and instantly blacked out his long face, and he did not hesitate to blow the whistle that had just been put down on his chest, and then crossed his hands in a T shape and raised it above his head to make a decision to add a jishu foul to Thomas.

What the? Thomas was furious, his eyes widened with anger, and he thought to himself that there was no reason for heaven! Just when he wanted to change the referee to say "this is weishenme", he was hugged by Durant and his teammates and dragged back to the bench. In the SuperSonics team, the oldest may be Thomas, but the most calm is Durant, a young man who has just turned 19 years old

Zheng Ke didn't expect his small actions to directly take down a member of the supersonic team, although he only wanted to earn a ball.

Zheng Ke was also verbally warned by the referee once after Thomas was fouled by Jishu, and the referee said: "Don't think I don't know your little tricks, play the game well, boy, next time, hum"

"Of course, of course, sir!" Zheng Ke showed the brightest smile in his opinion: "I will abide by the rules of the game, I promise!" "That obscene with a little hating smile, like a big chrysanthemum in full bloom, is extraordinarily enchanting

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, seeing Zheng Ke so good, the referee nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to know!" ”

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

The game continues

The supersonics, who lost a big player on the inside, had to be replaced by a white power forward, Nick Collisson.

Nick Collison was a first-round pick in the '03 Golden Generation, missing his rookie season with a shoulder injury, but has since played for the SuperSonics who picked him up until today. Although he is a white player, his style of play is more ferocious than most blacks, especially when it comes to rebounding.

After Collison came on the court, I thought that the Timberwolves would open the gap from him, after all, the strongest Timberwolves with Jefferson are the power forwards. However, this is not the case, Collison is very tenacious, although he is thin, he weighs 116 kilograms, and his biggest flaw is that he bounces and moves slowly, these two shortcomings are not too big of a disadvantage for Jefferson, who is basically a back and a mid-range shot.

So the Timberwolves still couldn't kill the supersonic with a stick, and until halftime, the Timberwolves were still tepid, leading by 5 points.

Whitman did not make any adjustments and explanations for the Timberwolves, according to his thoughts, the two teams are now inseparable, who finishes whom, there will be a result in the second half, the key is to see the players' play.

In fact, after the start of the second half, the two teams met each other, and the Timberwolves' five-point lead did not last long before it was equalized. Both sides are young teams, both sides are very passionate and energetic, and the crowd is happy to watch because the game is intense.

In the third minute, the Timberwolves relied on a key three-pointer from McCantz to reopen the distance by 5 points.

SuperSonics naturally didn't dare to fall behind, Thomas received Wilcox's inside pass, came to an inside slam dunk, and yelled to cheer himself up.

After Thomas's slam dunk was successful, the supersonic generals lifted their spirits and prevented the Timberwolves' wave of offense, almost defending for 24 seconds, zuihou passed to Zheng Ke in 2 seconds, Zheng Ke had no choice but to choose a jump shot, but the ball just grazed the basket, far away, and was picked up by Ridno to rebound, and the supersonic launched a fast attack.

The player, who was also a '03 lottery pick, didn't choose to dribble the ball himself, but instead passed to Durant, who was running ahead.

Zheng Ke knew that the ball couldn't go in after the ball was just thrown, so he didn't grab the board and retreated as soon as possible.

Durant dribbled the ball and gradually approached Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke stared at Durant's eyes, and sparks seemed to emerge from the intersection of the two eyes.

In this ten-millionth of a second, both sides read each other:

He's going to detain me!

He's going to cap me!

Then the two jumped up as if they had said yes. Zheng Ke has used all his strength, and this ball also gives him enough space to jump, but Durant's physical fitness is indeed higher than him, and when people hold the ball, Zheng Ke's fingertips are only up to his wrists.

But in the battle for this ball, the two did not distinguish the winner, Durant was rushing, and after being blocked by Zheng Ke in the air, the Liliang who rushed forward lost their balance together, and the two of them rolled out of the bottom line like a rolling gourd.

No wins?

No, Zheng Ke fouled.

There is no problem with the blowing penalty of this ball, although Zheng Ke has no movement in his hands, and it is difficult to tell who jumps first, but according to today's NBA penalty standards, it must be a foul on the defensive side.

After Durant steadily hit two free throws, the SuperSonics narrowed the score to one point.

Maybe it was too nervous, maybe it was too much concern for the win, and the next four offenses of both sides were all ironed, and Durant missed two mid-range jumpers in a row.

There is only one minute left in the zuihou noodles.

Although the Timberwolves are only one point ahead, one point is also one point, one point is in hand, the confidence instantly becomes different, and the hearts of both sides gradually change.

Jefferson held the ball inside, and he puffed up a liliang of zuihou in his body and slammed into Thomas, who gritted his teeth. In this case, the referee will hand the game to the player, and if Thomas falls, he knows that the referee will never blow Jefferson for an offensive foul, so he can only grit his teeth and die.

one time

Twice,

In the end, the years still prevailed over him, and Jefferson crashed into a bit of space and hit a left-handed hook.

Supersonic requested a pause.

The situation was favorable to the Timberwolves, and the cheers from the target center gradually increased. The time is only 45 seconds, if the SuperSonics choose to play a 2-point shot, then they need at least two more rounds to catch up or overtake the score, if they choose a 3-point shot, they can certainly tie it at once, and deal a blow to the morale of the Timberwolves, if they don't score, and don't grab the board, the situation will be even more unfavorable

Coming back from a timeout, Durant arcs the ball over.

The SuperSonics still chose to give the ball to the team's boss, Durant, even though he is not yet 20, even though he has only played more than a dozen NBA games.

Zheng Ke spread his arms, his eyes were sharp, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Durant's hands swung back and forth, the ball bounced back and forth like an elf, and Zheng Ke didn't dare to step forward to force it at this critical moment.

Suddenly, Durant stopped dribbling and seemed to be about to break to the right. Zheng Ke shook suddenly, are you coming? Is it two points? But Zheng Ke guessed wrong, and after Durant stopped, he chose to pull out three points!

Although Zheng Ke thinks that Durant will break through, he is always guarding against this kid's three-point, although his current three-point shot does not look very accurate, but Zheng Ke from later generations knows how accurate Durant's shooting is at critical moments. So he stretched out his hand and jumped up to interfere with Durant as soon as possible, so although Durant shot very suddenly, Zheng Ke still effectively interfered with him.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the basket and bounced far away, and McCantz, who was only 1.93 meters tall, grabbed the key rebound. Now, the Timberwolves are not in a hurry, the time is only 29 seconds, and after 24 seconds, the SuperSonics team only has 5 seconds of offensive time, so the Timberwolves have made up their minds that even if they don't score, they will consume 24 seconds of this wave of offense.

McCantz controlled the tempo and split the ball to Jung Ke on the weak side with 10 seconds left to attack, and Jung Ke hit the ground and passed to Jefferson, who had been stuck on the inside for a long time.

Jefferson wanted to score the old way again, but this time before he could start attacking, Durant wrapped it up, Jefferson raised the ball high above his head, because Durant was tall and long-armed, giving Jefferson a lot of pressure, he saw the opportunity and slammed the ball outside.

The basketball was firmly grabbed by Zheng Ke, time was running out, Durant flew towards Zheng Ke with his teeth and claws, but Zheng Ke still resolutely chose the three-point line outside the jumper.

"Bang!"

Zheng Ke's ball was also ironed, but fortunately, the ball smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced high, bounced very high, and after falling, it still smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced up the center of the target suddenly fell into silence, everyone looked at this naughty basketball, players, spectators, commentators

"Huh!"

"Entered!" The DJ reacted immediately, and then his voice was drowned out in louder cheers

The overall situation has been decided, Zheng Ke's lucky ball cut off the SuperSonics Zuihou's desire to turn the tables, and the Timberwolves finally won a hard-won victory, ending their seven-game losing streak while giving away their opponent seven consecutive defeats
