one-handed ball

Chapter 159

Sloan was furious on the bench, and Deron and Boozer were scolded by him, especially Brewer, who was defending Zheng Ke, couldn't even lift his head after being scolded by Sloan.

"Ronnie (Brewer), how did you defend Zheng Ke? How many times did he just pass you by yourself? How did I tell you before the game, let you not be fooled, let you not be affected by his fake moves In the end, you were deceived by him and turned around in the same place. You disappointed me too much, Ronnie! Well, you give me a good reflection on the bench, Andrei (Kirilenko), you go."

Brewer lowered his head and didn't speak. He felt aggrieved and panicked. He secretly thought that what Coach Sloan said was simple, but when it comes to the game, how can it be so easy to see through the opponent's fake moves?
Brewer went off and Kirilenko replaced him.

"Oh? AK47 is here." When Zheng Ke came on stage, he was a little surprised to see Kirilenko, but that was all. Now he is full of confidence and does not fear anyone.

After Kirilenko played, Zheng Ke felt a certain amount of pressure. The two had confronted each other several times last season, and they were already quite familiar with each other. Compared with Brewer, who was newly promoted to the starting position this season, Kirilenko obviously has more experience in defending Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke's fiery state has finally come down a little.

At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led the Jazz by 53 points 47 to 6. Zheng Ke scored 12 points and 6 assists. This data looks more like a point guard.

Anderson is in a hot state. After halftime, he has contributed 4 blocks. The host of the local TV station in Minnesota has been talking about him. Even Zheng Ke, the real player of the half, was ignored by them.

Anderson and Love formed an excellent complement.

Love is burly, but he is a real floor player. He rarely contributes blocks in a game, and the average block per game is only a pitiful 0.5 times as of the last game. What kind of concept is this?Among all players in the league, the number of blocked shots per game ranks outside the top [-], so now Love gives people the impression that he can rebound, shoot, pass, and can't jump.

Many people like to carry Love into the paint and use the bounce to find space to shoot, but now they are blocked by Anderson, who is becoming more and more integrated into the Timberwolves. The two of them have formed a preliminary tacit understanding, Love resists, Anderson goes to block .This is a bit like the Thunder of later generations, the meat shield Perkins fights against the opponent's low-post attacker, and Ibaka assists in defending the cap.

In the third quarter, the two teams were still playing inextricably. Billups hit a three-pointer, and Deron responded with a beautiful breakthrough; Zell also made a mid-range shot
In the third quarter, Zheng Ke scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. After the end, he had already contributed 3 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists. This phenomenon attracted the attention of the scene. His audience was excited, and it was obviously a rhythm towards a triple-double.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated their visiting opponents in the same division 101 to 94. The Jazz, Zheng Ke, scored a triple-double of 21 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and became the MVP of the game. Facts have proved that , Now the Jazz, which has internal and external troubles, can't beat the Timberwolves, even though the Timberwolves are only a young team.

Anderson dedicated one of the best games since he came to the Timberwolves. He played 34 minutes and scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks. During the game, he made many flying birdman moves, The audience at the scene cheered for a while, and everyone fell in love with this big man covered in tattoos.

The Timberwolves' next opponent is Anderson's old club, the Nuggets. Two weeks ago, he was still beside the Nuggets water cooler. Two weeks later, he has become one of the most popular players in the Minnesota area. , He is now very grateful to the Nuggets who sent him away, because he found a new life in the Timberwolves and began to really get rid of the shadow brought about by drug use.

Likewise, Telfair has rediscovered himself with the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are an offensive team, which has been known for the past two years.After Telfair came to the Nuggets, he spliced ​​outstanding ball-handling ability, young and energetic body, and immediately squeezed out Anthony Carter and took the team's main starting position.

Although his rhythm control ability is average, he has worked with Jefferson for a year after all, and the tacit understanding between the two has a certain foundation, so Telfair's integration into the team is amazing. Exclaimed, the Nuggets and Timberwolves made a win-win deal!

In this case, the two teams confront each other again.

As a result, at the Target Center, in the Timberwolves' own home court, Zheng Ke could no longer find the state where he scored 52 points last time. Throughout the game, the Timberwolves' starters lost their touch, except for Love, who was in a hot state.

The Timberwolves' own ball frame seemed to refuse their own players to shoot goals, and all the players suddenly turned into blacksmiths, and the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, and iron continued.

The feel of the Nuggets here is also very average, but they are better than the Timberwolves. In addition, the Nuggets made far fewer mistakes than the Timberwolves. Telfair seemed to want to prove himself. The Golden team's offense was organized in an orderly manner, and the Nuggets had only 7 turnovers in the game.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets at home, losing 84 points 107 to 23. Anthony did not end in the fourth quarter, and he smiled until wrinkles appeared on his face.

It's really satisfying, Anthony thought to himself: Finally, he has avenged his death last month.

The game against the Nuggets was too depressing, the Timberwolves were in no condition, and the fans left the field one after another before the end of the fourth quarter.

Zheng Ke only hit 23 of 9 shots. Although he scored a game-high 28 points, this was all scored by relying on high shots. Essentially, Zheng Ke didn’t like scoring like this, which would make him It feels very unproductive.

On Saturday, the Timberwolves challenged the Spurs away.

This is a relatively anxious game, and the Timberwolves can be regarded as playing their own style. Parker of the Spurs was severely restricted by Billups, and he only scored 11 points in the game.Zheng Ke also performed well. He blasted the outside line of the Spurs alone, and the Spurs couldn't find anyone to limit Zheng Ke.

But the Timberwolves' inside line was completely blown by Duncan.

For the first time, Anderson found that every time he jumped, there seemed to be a problem with the timing. Sometimes he jumped up, but Duncan passed to the soft Matt Bonner behind him; If he doesn't jump, then Duncan can just hit Love singles without any scruples. He is 32 years old, but he is still as steady as an 18-year-old boy.

The 32-year-old Duncan gave and gave in the Timberwolves' interior. He was in a hot state, scoring 32 points and 17 rebounds, allowing the Spurs to suppress the Timberwolves and win 97-89.

The Timberwolves lost two games in a row, the Mavericks surpassed the Timberwolves in record, and the Timberwolves returned to the seventh position.

The Timberwolves' terrifying schedule is not over yet. After the game with the Spurs, the Timberwolves faced the second-ranked Lakers in the West. On Monday night at Staples, the Lakers scored in double figures with 7 players and defeated the slightly tired Timberwolves.

In this campaign, Bynum scored a game-high 15 rebounds, Fisher sent a game-high 11 assists, and the Lakers won 98-86 at home.

The Timberwolves suffered a three-game losing streak!

This is the first losing streak since the start of the game, but contrary to everyone's expectations, the atmosphere in the Timberwolves is still not flustered. Although everyone feels a little pressure, everyone is not a rookie and has long understood this league. There will be no generals who win forever. It is normal to lose to the Nuggets, Spurs and Lakers.

Among them, Le Fu's mood was slightly depressed.After the game, Whitman specifically looked for Love. He provided simple psychological counseling to the young player, telling him not to have a psychological burden, the team will always get better, and he must believe in himself.Under Whitman's words, Le Fu finally passed this level.

The three-game losing streak also allowed the Timberwolves, who had been in a hurry during this period, to keep a low profile, and people refocused their attention on the top teams such as the Cavaliers and Rockets.

The Timberwolves challenge the Kings back-to-back on Tuesday.

Everyone used a hearty victory to get out of the shadow of a three-game losing streak, and the Timberwolves suppressed the bottom team in the Western Conference that suffered injuries!

Kings star Martin was unable to play due to injury, which made the Kings, who were originally weaker than the Timberwolves, even worse.If it weren't for the eye-catching performances of Garcia, Salmons, Dante Green and other shooters, maybe halftime would be able to tell the winner.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Kings 119-103.

Zheng Ke scored a game-high 23 points on 13 of 32 shots, and Love scored 15 rebounds. Zheng Ke suddenly discovered that Love is always very energetic when playing against such weak teams. It's as simple as drinking water.
