one-handed ball

Chapter 153

This summer, after the Bobcats missed the playoffs again, the team signed an agreement with "Iron Coach" Larry Brown to hire the latter as the team's third head coach.

After Brown took over the Bobcats, he hasn't had time to create the team in his mind, but it doesn't hinder his gradual influence on the Bobcats.One is improved defense.

After the Timberwolves got the ball for the first time, the Bobcats put up a decent defense. Gerald Wallace defended Zheng Ke closely.

"I'm not going to let you score on me!" Wallace said, dead serious.

"Hmph!" Zheng Ke didn't speak, he saw a familiar figure standing beside him, and he didn't have time to talk trash to Wallace.

Zheng Ke followed Love's off-ball screen and threw off Wallace's close defense. Billups passed the ball, Zheng Ke dribbled the ball two steps, and directly faced Sean May.

Sean May was a prodigy in the 05 draft, and he was the most famous player among the "North Carolina Four Youngsters". In the 05 NCAA Finals, he scored 11 points and 10 rebounds on 26 of 10 shots. Not only defeated the University of Illinois led by Deron Williams, allowing the University of North Carolina to regain the NCAA championship 11 years later, but was also elected to the highest honor of MOP.Later, he was selected by the Bobcats with the No.13 pick in the draft.But after entering the NBA, Sean May was plagued by injuries. He had undergone multiple operations on his knees and was reimbursed for the whole of last season.Although he is back from injury now, he has lived up to the courage of the past.
Zheng Ke saw this burly man, and didn't know that he was a man of the hour. Seeing that he was a little far away from him, he instinctively exerted force on one leg, driving the other leg and the whole body to take off.

"Shh!"

Zheng Ke landed on one foot and looked at him in surprise. The man only stretched out his hand symbolically, lazily like a 50-year-old man.

"Beautiful pull-up jumper!" In the VIP room of the Bobcats, Jordan praised.

"That's not like your style, Michael?" There was another man sitting in the private room, shaking a goblet of red wine in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"I'm just telling the truth, Robert." Jordan spread out his hands, looking fair, and then said: "Look at the posture of his shot and the height of his jump, he is almost the same as that little guy in Houston, you know , a year ago he was just a marginal man!"

"Well, Michael, I can see that you appreciate him very much." Robert took a sip of red wine, smacked his taste and said, "But the chances of you being able to win him over are probably less than 5.00%, right? No, three percent None."

"Hey~" Speaking of this, Jordan sighed and couldn't help admitting: "It's true, I can see his love for the Timberwolves from his eyes, and I can also see his desire for championships and victories. If we can't win the championship before the execution of the second contract, we will have a chance to win him over, this is a person like me."

"Hehe," Robert chuckled.

"Shh!"

On the last attack of the first quarter, Zheng Ke rushed into the inside with his head in his arms, causing the Bobcats' defense to shrink subconsciously, and then he threw the ball to Efflalo on the outside.

Afflalo lived up to expectations and hit this three-pointer that was almost at the buzzer.

As Felton missed a long three-pointer, the Timberwolves led the Bobcats 23 to 21 to end the first quarter.

Zheng Ke and others walked to the bench while ravaging Afflalo's hair. His three-pointer boosted the momentum of the Timberwolves.Everyone knows how much Afflalo has worked hard to practice three-pointers.Last season, Afflalo was just a kid who missed the outside line. This season, his three-point shooting percentage has improved a lot. He is really a very hardworking guy.All the Timberwolves players like him very much, even Randy Foye, his competitor at the same position, also praised him, bluntly saying that he is a real man.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves sent Channing Frye, Lowry, Randy Foye, Brewer, and Smith to the lineup.This is a true run and gun lineup.

All Timberwolves players shot when they had the opportunity, and the offensive rhythm was very fast.

On the Bobcats side, DJ-Augustin, Morrison, Dwyane Jones, Dudley, and Mohammed have a slightly inferior lineup. Lowry rampages with brute force, and Augustine's defense is miserable.

森林狼依靠替补阵容优势，马上打出了一波7比2的小高潮，替补上场不到3分钟，森林狼便以30比23领先了7分。

Larry Brown requested a timeout.

Larry Brown thought about it, and finally replaced the older Muhammad with Okafor. At this time, the Bobcats needed someone who could stabilize the morale of the army. He knew that Channing Frye was famous Bamboo pole, playing this kind of player, even if Okafor's low-post offense is average, he should be able to score a few, right?

"It's not what I expected!"

Larry Brown slammed his fist into the palm of his hand.After Okafor came on the court, he quickly stabilized the flustered Bobcats. Augustin first used Okafor's pick-and-roll to hit a mid-range shot, and then used Okafor's defensive end to slap Foye's layup, allowing Dudley to counterattack. basket succeeded.

After Okafor came on the court, he not only performed well on the defensive end, but also put pressure on the Timberwolves on offense.Just as Larry Brown expected, Channing Frye, who was too thin, still couldn't stand up to Okafor, and after being knocked away by Okafor, he completed a strong attack at the basket.

Seeing that the score was getting closer and closer, Whitman also panicked.His eyes swept around the bench, and finally landed on Zheng Ke.He rolled his eyes, revealing a cunning that he didn't see often, and secretly brought Zheng Ke to his side, ordering this and that in his ear.

"Zheng Ke also played ahead of schedule!" Seeing Zheng Ke's debut when the ball was dead, Yu Jia, the host of Chaoting TV, couldn't help explaining that he knew that their biggest task was to report on the dynamics of star players from time to time.

Director Zhang pointedly pointed out: "Obviously, Coach Whitman has made targeted arrangements for the Bobcats. Zheng Ke's playing can alleviate the Timberwolves' scoring shortage to a large extent."

"Beautiful breakthrough!" Staring at the screen, Yu Jia subconsciously exclaimed: "Zheng Ke hit the inside of the Bobcats! The goal is scored! Okafor's thugs fouled, two plus one!"

"It's a meritorious service when you come up!" Zhang Weiping also explained at the side at the moment: "After Zheng Ke came up, facing the Bobcat Dudley's defense, he made a quick change of direction in front of his body, used his speed to get into the inside line, and completed this time. one."

Zheng Ke's layup was relatively large just now, and his whole body flew out of the baseline, and he sat down on the floor.

The other Timberwolves players ran over quickly, Foye and Brewer showed great hospitality, each pulled Zheng Ke up from the floor with one hand, Zheng Ke jumped on the floor a few times, and pretended to pat off the The dust (in fact, the floor is very clean), made Okafor, who was explaining something to the referee, very upset after seeing it.

Seeing that Zheng Ke played and scored 3 points, Wallace took the initiative to ask Brown.When Brown saw Zheng Ke playing, he didn't know what to do. Since his general asked for a fight, there was no reason why he shouldn't, so he even replaced Dudley on the court.

Zheng Ke patted the ball on the ground, took a deep breath, held the ball up, and then gently pushed the ball out, making an extra penalty! 33 to 29.

This 4-point difference was hard-won. The Timberwolves players seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly regained their vitality, while the Bobcats players were a little discouraged.

Augustin carefully controlled the ball, and he commanded the movement of everyone from beyond the three-point line, which seemed to be the case.

"Give me the ball!"

Gerald Wallace shouted.

Augustine was just a rookie. Seeing that the boss asked for the ball, he quickly passed the ball. After receiving the ball, Wallace staggered his body one step, and then broke through to the right suddenly.

"Hey!"

But Zheng Ke seemed to know that Wallace was going to break to the right, so he preemptively blocked Wallace's route. He opened his big hands like a hen protecting a chick, covering the sky and the sun.

"Dry!"

Wallace knew that Zheng Ke was difficult to deal with, but only after experiencing it did he discover Zheng Ke's abnormality.When he got here, he stopped being aggressive, and quickly called Okafor to come out to do the pick-and-roll.

Zheng Ke is not a rookie, seeing Wallace's appearance, he knew that he must be looking for a pick-and-roll, and he was faintly prepared in his heart.

Seeing Okafor come out, Wallace immediately began to dribble to the right with the help of Okafor's body.

"what!"

Suddenly, Wallace heard a shrill cry.Then he heard the referee's whistle, and he immediately turned to look at the referee.

The referee pointed at Okafor and made a penalty gesture: "White No. 50 screen foul!"
