Chapter 84

Losing Bruce Bowen, Malik Ross, who was also tough on defense, was put on the starting lineup by Popovich, but he is not very suitable for doing dirty work and is always found by referees. His deterrence is far inferior to Bruce Bowen, but there is no way.This is also the main reason why the Spurs only won 8 games during Zhao Ke's suspension. Malik Rose did not have the ability to freeze the opponent's offensive core.

In this game, Marik Rose is still starting, and the Spurs' starting lineup is:

Center: David Robinson

Power Forward: Tim Duncan

Small Forward: Malik Rose

Shooting Guard: Steve Smith
Point Guard: Tony Parker

At the start of the game, the two old men glanced at each other. The "Admiral" with a jump ball on the floor beat Ewing, who didn't jump at all. He handed the basketball to Tony Parker. Parker twisted his ass and went straight to the basket.

"Boom" Parker bumped into Billups' arms head-on, and Billups fell down in response.The referee signaled an offensive foul. Since Gary Payton cleaned up the last time, Billups seems to have opened up the second line of Ren and Du on the defensive end, and has become more and more spiritual.

The Knicks attacked, and Billups gave the first offense to Ewing as usual, but Ewing didn't make a shot this time. He passed the ball to Zhao Ke, who was fighting with Malick Rose.

Zhao Ke really enjoyed the enemy-level defense. Less than 10 seconds into the game, he had already been elbowed in the chest and trampled on his heel twice.

Zhao Ke didn't say anything, he had a tiger in his heart.Although it was cool to talk harshly at the press conference before, he was really uncomfortable: Bruce Bowen was abolished by him, his career was reimbursed, and he would have to use crutches for the rest of his life. This was too heavy, and it was not his original intention.Those who watched the excitement felt very happy, and only the parties involved would feel guilty and remorseful.However, as he himself said, Zhao Ke will not apologize, let alone sympathize.The Spurs retaliated against him, and he didn't say a word, but he will definitely fight back.Butt determines thinking, he is now a member of the Jagged Knicks, so he must become: a good brother to the people, a good father and son, a man who can stand upright with a fist, and a horse who can run a horse on a wall-Mr. Zhao Kechun, a real man with iron blood!
When Zhao Ke got the ball, he buried his head and rushed to the basket. Steve Smith lowered his center of gravity and blocked him. Recently, Zhao Ke's shooting percentage has dropped, but his breakthrough is extremely lethal. The defense strategies of all teams have changed to focus on defense against breakthroughs.

Zhao Ke's strength and size determine that he is not a showman. When he breaks through, every movement is extremely tense and the range is extremely large. When continuous crossovers make the opponent's body tense, Zhao Ke secretly gathers momentum.This time is the same, the right rhythm allows him to easily break through Steve Smith's blockade.

Duncan and Malik Rose gave up their defenders and got stuck at the free throw line at the same time, staring at each other. It is well known that Zhao Ke will not break through and score the ball. They are double-teaming at will.Zhao Ke made another drastic change of direction, passing by Malick Rose like a gust of wind.In terms of speed, the two seven-footers, Deng Daidai and Malick Rose, are no match for him.

David Robinson stood under the basket with a grim face. He was the last line of defense. Needless to say, he greeted him with a slap in the face. Zhao Ke jumped high, rounded his right arm holding the ball, and stretched out his left hand to protect his head and face. The next moment there was a loud bang, Zhao Ke hung on the basket, and David Robinson was knocked down.

The poor "Admiral" underestimated Zhao Ke's jumping and strength. This background board was made solid enough, and Madison Square Garden finally sounded the long-lost cheers that resounded through the sky.

Even the group of "barbarians" couldn't fault Zhao Ke for dunking after three people in a row. They jumped up from their seats excitedly, waved their jerseys wildly, and roared loudly...

Zhao Ke jumped down from the rim lightly. From this moment on, he really fell in love with the scoring method of breaking through, which is "difficult, dangerous, inefficient and has to be beaten".The previous breakthrough choice was more of Zhao Ke’s helpless move (in order to disguise the decrease in shooting rate and reduce the sense of presence in David Stern). In his subconscious mind, he still said: "There is nothing that cannot be solved by one three-pointer. If there is, then two!"
Zhao Ke clenched his hands into fists, raised his head to the sky and screamed!
Popovich called a timeout, and this old man was the only one who called a timeout less than half a minute into the game.The Gregg hair dryer turned on, and Duncan and David Robinson's faces were covered with saliva. The old man's hoarse roar could be heard even by Zhao Ke who was far away.

The men on the bench stood up and applauded to greet them, and Zhao Ke gave them high-fives one by one.Later, Jeff Van Gundy and Tom Thibodeau also raised their hands to join in the fun, and Zhao Ke satisfied them with a smile.For the Knicks, Van Gundy has nothing to say, Ewing has to play for another 2 minutes, and there is no need for substitutions.

When Popovich has had enough scolding, the game will continue.

Tony Parker set up the offense and the Spurs patiently passed the ball on the perimeter until David Robinson reached the free throw line and pulled Patrick Ewing from the basket.Parker's precise pass found Deng Daidai who was leaning on Rasheed Wallace. Deng Daidai dribbled the ball and bumped Rasheed Wallace twice with his shoulder in a row. He adjusted to his favorite 45°, separated Rasheed Wallace's long arm with his left hand, and flicked his right wrist. A small hook wiped the board steadily!
However, how could the ubiquitous Zhao guest miss such a good opportunity?
"No flying!"

Zhao Ke let out a loud roar and rose from the ground. With a loud bang, the basketball that had just escaped from Deng Daidai's fingertips flew towards the auditorium like a fired shell...

The deafening cheers and screams resounded in Madison Square Garden, which had just quieted down. With this thrilling attack and defense, Zhao Ke has attracted a lot of black fans today.

This time Popovich didn't get angry. He rubbed his chin and looked at Zhao Ke thoughtfully.

For the Knicks, Billups dribbled the ball through half court and continued to look for Zhao Ke. His teammates pulled away. Just before the game against the Seattle SuperSonics, Artest also passed the three-pointer test. Now the Knicks' starting lineup really has the strength to open up space.

Patrick Ewing helped Zhao Ke squeeze away David Robinson under the basket, and the audience in the front row booed "One more time! One more time!".

Zhao Ke repeated his old tricks, changed direction drastically, quickly broke through to the basket, and faced the defending Deng Daidai, flying high...
