one-handed ball

Chapter 141 Evolution
Zheng Ke followed up with the highest score since this NBA season, and suddenly raised his scoring average to 25.8 points. From the 5th place on the scoring list, he changed into No. In front of him are Wade, James, Kobe and Nowitzki.

The heat of this big discussion has lasted for a long time. In this league where there may be a lore every day, a comeback may be staged every day, and a record may be set every day, it is really not an easy task.

For this reason, Glenn, the owner of the Timberwolves, laughed all over his face. His team has suddenly changed from an under-the-radar to an upstart that everyone is paying attention to. Of course, more and more Advertisers and the media have contacted him, and he has even seen countless dollars slowly flying towards him.

Glenn is not a stingy person. As a businessman and an investor, he knows exactly how these profits come from and who created them for him.That's right, it was Zheng Ke, so after the Olympic Games ended this summer, it happened that Jefferson went out and Zheng Ke was the core.In order to please Zheng Ke, he spent a lot of money to start decorating the Target Center.Many places, including the locker room, training room, and recovery room, have spent money to renovate.

When the Target Center was in full swing to carry out ball room decoration activities, the Eastern 76ers came to challenge!

The 76ers are still the same, ranking 10th to 12th in the Eastern Conference. "Little AI" Iguodala, who has long set great hopes, played the highest scoring season of his career last year, averaging 19.9 points per game!Therefore, although the 76ers have a tepid record, the team management still has hope because they have an all-around small forward, Iguodala.

When Whitman came to the arena in the afternoon, many Timberwolves players had already started some training, and he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.The team atmosphere of the Timberwolves is indeed upstream in the entire league. There are no old fritters or thorns in the team. The most active Randy Foye is actually a good baby.

"Good afternoon, coach!" When Whitman came in, he caught the attention of the players, and everyone greeted Whitman one after another.

"Hello, good spirits, lads!" Whitman responded with a satisfied smile on his face and nodded.

Whitman took a look. There were two groups of people on the court, and they were playing a 3-on-3 match. Zheng Ke, Lowry, Love played against Brewer, Foye and Smith.

Zheng Ke's physical condition is very good. In 3v3, the court space is extremely wide, giving Zheng Ke a place to rush left and right. Zheng Ke played very smoothly, but from Whitman's point of view, Zheng Ke The dribble layup seems a little awkward?
Whitman observed carefully and finally understood the reason. It turned out that Zheng Ke was practicing with his left hand, breaking through with his left hand, changing direction with his left hand, and even shooting with his left hand!

"What a nice guy!" Whitman felt very relieved.

There are very few players in the league who are as willing to learn new skills as Zheng Ke. Most players become millionaires, or after becoming multi-millionaires, they focus on other aspects and no longer pursue a higher level of competition.Those who can really become superstars are those players who like to learn and constantly surpass themselves.

If Zheng Ke knew that Whitman thought so, he would be happy. In fact, Zheng Ke is not that great, and he was forced to learn new skills.With the help of this system, Zheng Ke has abnormal physical fitness and excellent shooting touch, but he has no other offensive skills.His offensive methods seem to be relatively simple. In addition to pulling up from the three-point line, breaking through the layup or dunking, there is only one emergency stop jumper left.

It’s not Zheng Ke’s style to enter Dbaoshan empty-handed, so Zheng Ke has been learning other offensive skills. He usually watches some videos of offensive masters in NBA history and learns their basketball skills. This left-handed training method, I heard Many NBA stars have used it, and the effect is not bad, so Zheng Ke used it. Unexpectedly, Whitman thought that Zheng Ke's ideological awareness was quite high.
"Okay, boys, pause!" Whitman watched for a while, raised his wrist to check the time, then walked into the field to stop their 3-on-3 confrontation training, and shouted for other training players come together.

"First of all, welcome to Greg's return from injury!" Whitman took the lead in applauding, not forgetting the strong man who came back from the fire line when the Timberwolves were in a hurry.

"Thank you, thank you!" Smith smiled innocently, scratching his head embarrassedly.

"Everyone should already know the team they played against tonight. The star of their team is Andre Iguodala. He is a strong and comprehensive third position, but don't worry about it. Someone will naturally deal with it. Him." Whitman was in a good mood, and even made a joke, winking at Zheng Ke.

Everyone laughed and turned their heads to look at Zheng Ke, making Zheng Ke feel embarrassed.

"The 76ers are a perimeter-oriented team. The brain of the team, Andre Miller, is a veteran. It is not bad to control the heat of the game. But you don't have to worry about this. After all, we have an obvious difference. Lost to his Chauncey."

There was laughter again, and then Whitman continued to analyze: "However, the 76ers' recent striker Thaddeus Young is a bit of a rumor, and I guess Morris Cheeks will put him in the starting lineup. , then Iguodala is likely to be placed at the shooting guard position, so their starting lineup will become Miller, Iguodala, Young, Elton Brandon, and Daimler Potter."

"In this case, I think we need to change the current starting lineup."

Hearing what the coach said, some players' complexions suddenly changed, and some players' eyes lit up. Although it was only a temporary change in the starting lineup, are there still few examples of NBA counterattacks from the starting lineup?

Seeing the players' ears pricked up, Whitman secretly smiled, but his face was still serious, and said: "Point guard, Chauncey, shooting guard Zheng Ke, small forward."

When Whitman said shooting guard Zheng Ke, Foye lowered his head in frustration. He knew that he would not be the starter in this game. Seeing this, Zheng Ke patted his ass as a sign of encouragement .

"Small forward, Corey Brewer!"

"Jesus!" Brewer was overjoyed, and a smile bloomed on his face.It’s hard to blame this No. 7 pick last year. He belongs to the same team as Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke always gets flowers and applause, but he is always criticized by unkind fans. Feeling cold, now he has regained his confidence. The precise three-pointer practiced in Xia Tian is his greatest survival guarantee now.

"Power forward Greg Smith!"

"What?" Smith didn't expect that he would receive the biggest gift from the coach just after his comeback, starting. This was a dream he never realized last season. Knowing what to say, I stood there blankly, not knowing what to think.

And Love, who was beside him, lowered his head. Could the coach finally be unable to bear his own defense?

Whitman saw the dumbfounded Smith, but he was also worried about this arrangement in his heart, and he said in a warning way: "Greg, don't let me down, Brandon is about the same height as you, but his arm The performance is amazing, your biggest task in this game is to strangle him, if you can do this, I think I will be very happy."

"Promise to complete the task, sir!" Smith was very excited, and responded loudly, and gave a military salute, the whole person looked extremely excited.

"Center, Kevin Love!"

Whitman frequently made people unexpected today. Love was not kicked out of the starting lineup, but was placed in the center position. He raised his head in disbelief, his heart was full of joy, it is true that the ups and downs of life are too fast.

"Kevin," Whitman said earnestly, "I know you're not good at defense, but this can't be done in a day or two. The 76ers' center Dalembert is a defensive center. His offensive ability Very bad, your task in this game is not to prevent him to death, but to grab every rebound. I believe that your rebounding ability will never lose to him, so don’t let me down.”

"Of course, coach!" When he heard that he was not going to defend, but to grab rebounds, Love suddenly grinned happily. Grabbing rebounds was always his favorite thing to do, not to mention it was his specialty. Fu happily thought, if I can beat Dalembert on the rebound, my position in the coach's heart should be stronger, right?
