one-handed ball

Chapter 170 Seven consecutive victories!
On the plane back to Minnesota, the Timberwolves teammates were still talking about the game, especially the few super big pulls that Rose completed during the game.

"Tsk tsk, that guy's body is really explosive." Randy Foye said with a little envy.

"But will he hurt his body if he plays like this?" Love asked. He is a typical floor player. He can grab so many rebounds every night, not because of his jumping and wingspan, but his outstanding positioning awareness. , broad shoulders and strong upper body strength.

"It must hurt the body!" Zheng Ke immediately made a judgment: "Especially the damage to the waist, abdomen and knees is great."

Billups looked at Zheng Ke in surprise. He didn't expect that Zheng Ke, who is now playing a bit of brutalism, would have such an opinion.

Zheng Ke paused, and continued: "It's fine to use it occasionally, but it's too difficult to use this as your main offensive method."

"That's right," Billups nodded and said, "Humans are not machines after all, not to mention that machines are sometimes damaged."

"But having said that, the difficulty of this kind of pull bar is really high, and it is difficult to shoot it during normal training." Randy Foye said to Zheng Ke: "ZK, you should do it right."

Everyone's eyes focused on Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke scratched his head and nodded embarrassedly: "It can be done, but the hit rate is not high. It is probably not as high as Derek (Ross)."

"Wow!" Foye, who was acknowledged by Zheng Ke, let out a strange cry: "It's not bad, look at me, I can't even do it."

"Knowing this is useless, it's better to improve your shooting level or passing ability." Zheng Ke was a little happy after being flattered, but he personally has a different opinion, and it is useless compared to training He prefers to practice invincible basic skills, just like Duncan's hitting the board, just like Jordan's back.

Everyone laughed and chatted for a while, and Whitman stopped everyone from chatting.

Whitman said: "Everyone should rest a little longer, and we will play against the Warriors tomorrow."

It was a good sign in 09. After the Timberwolves defeated the Bulls in an away game, they beat the visiting Warriors at home and defeated them 115 to 103. Zheng Ke scored 24 points and 9 assists. On the Warriors side, Stephen - Jackson scored a game-high 25 points.

The voting for the All-Star Game has also entered a heated stage.

In the number of votes in the west, Yao Ming leads the way, followed by Kobe and Zheng Ke, who are evenly matched, followed by Duncan and Tracy McGrady.Balloon stars such as Stoudemire and Chris Paul can only be outside the top five.

In the East, it is not the little emperor James who gets the most votes, but Howard. Howard has played super data this season, averaging 20.8 points, 13.9 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. Coupled with the good record of the Magic, Howard has become One of the hottest players of the season.Followed by stars such as James, Wade, Iverson and Garnett.

People were surprised to find that the two leading centers turned out to be leading the East and West, which was not common in previous years.

On January 1, the Timberwolves challenged the Grizzlies away again.

Rudy Gay met Zheng Ke again, who only contributed 12 points in the game. The Timberwolves won 94-87. Zheng Ke scored 18 points, but only took 11 shots.

The Timberwolves won 3 consecutive victories quietly.

On January 1, the Timberwolves played against the Thunder at home.

The Thunder have had a bad record recently. They have lost 7 games in a row. Durant is obviously more entangled than Zheng Ke, who is full of glory. Although his personal ability has grown rapidly, his three-point shooting ability has also been fully developed. The average scoring has risen to 25.7 points, but the team cannot win.

Zheng Ke invited Durant to have a meal at "Taste of China" before the game.

Durant kept frowning, apparently in a bad mood.He asked Zheng Ke with a wry smile: "Brother, how did you do it? Why are you guys doing so well?"

Zheng Ke laughed, wiped his mouth, and said: "We are just lucky. You see, before the start of the season, our Timberwolves were a team with strong offense and weak defense, and the defense problem inside was very serious. Later we found Ke Reece Anderson, Aaron Afflalo have grown up, and we have a starting lineup that's more dangerous defensively than offensively."

"I really envy you," Durant said with an envious expression, "I don't know when our Thunder will rise, hey."

"It's okay, just be patient," Zheng Ke persuaded: "Russell (Westbrook) is very good, you know, he has all the conditions to become a superstar: amazing physical fitness, strong fighting spirit, With the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work, when he grows up, you Thunderbolts will be awesome."

"That's true," Durant nodded. Speaking of Westbrook, his spirit was obviously lifted a lot. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the helper the team hired this summer.

At this time, Westbrook was enjoying the chewiness of steak in a steakhouse with his alumni Kevin Love, and suddenly Westbrook couldn't help but sneezed.

Huh?
Who misses me?Westbrook wiped his nose with a napkin before continuing to fight the steak.

Although the main players of the two teams have a long history, they are either good friends or classmates, but in the game, there is no talk of affection with the enemy. The game scene is very hot. Westbrook even completed a battle ax dunk on Love's head. Make Le Fu ashamed.

In the third quarter, Zheng Ke broke out and scored 17 points in a single quarter, pulling the score to more than 20 points in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the final tone of the game.

In the end, the Timberwolves beat the Thunder at home. Zheng Ke scored a game-high 38 points and sent 5 steals, 4 of which were given to Durant.Although Durant's shooting ability has become stronger, his ball-handling ability has not yet reached the heinous level of later generations. In other words, Durant's offensive ability with the ball needs to be improved.

On January 1, the Timberwolves beat the Bucks 11-106.This Chinese derby is obviously not as enthusiastic as the last time with the Rockets. Both Zheng Ke and Yi Jianlian are quite satisfactory. Zheng Ke contributed 104 points and 21 rebounds, and Yi Jianlian contributed 10 points.The game was still tied until the last 14 seconds. At the critical moment, Zheng Ke made a layup and hit the winning goal.With Reed missing a three-pointer, the Timberwolves have won 20 consecutive victories in a thrilling manner.

The Timberwolves' rapid progress in recent times has finally attracted attention. Before they know it, they have surpassed the Mavericks and returned to the sixth position in the West.The Suns squeezed out the Hornets and rushed to eighth in the West.Now the eighth position in the Western Conference may be changed at any time, and the Jazz, Hornets and Suns have formed a situation where the three teams compete.You know, in the past two years, these three teams were still the powerful teams in the West!
The Timberwolves won five consecutive victories, and Zheng Ke was once again named the best player in the Western Conference last week.Last week, he averaged 26.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game. The data is gorgeous and the record is excellent. Why not award him the award?
Zheng Ke is of course very happy to receive this award, but he is even more happy that his overall score, which has not moved for a long time, has finally improved.

The overall score is 88, of which the offense score is 90, the defense score is 88, and the rebound score is 80.

Although the score of defense is lower than that of offense, with the help of skills, Zheng Ke's defense is actually more terrifying than his offense. This season, the average efficiency value of the objects he defends has dropped by 30.00%!

Many experts now sing praises for Zheng Ke, thinking that Zheng Ke can be elected as the best player of the season.Especially the two most defensive statistics, steals and blocks, Zheng Keneng averaged 2.4 and 1.3 per game, what is this concept?James, who is known as an excellent defender, averaged only 1.5 steals per game.

On January 1, the Timberwolves played against the Heat at home.For their third straight home game, Wade scored 14 points and made 31 free throws, but it was the Timberwolves who won.Billups blasted the Heat's back line, whether it was Chalmers or Chris Quinn, they were all blasted by Billups, and finally forced the Heat coach Eric Spoelstra Use Wade to defend Billups.

After this game, the Timberwolves' winning streak reached 6 games.

The young people of the Timberwolves have never enjoyed such a long winning streak. Everyone is working hard now, and everyone wants to carry the winning streak to the end.

So in Phoenix, everyone staged a comeback. After being beaten by the Suns 42 to 24 in the first quarter, the Timberwolves broke out.Just like what Whitman said to the media after the game: Even the thin Anderson withstood O'Neal's attack, so what else is impossible?

As a result, the Suns once again fell out of the top eight in the Western Conference. This time it was the Jazz. The three teams looked like they were taking turns.
