one-handed ball

Chapter 180 Victory over the Raptors
"You!" Graham was impatient. He had seen the arrogant one before, and he had heard too much trash talk. This was the first time he had heard such arrogant trash talk.

Zheng Ke shouldn't be like this, but the Timberwolves' record has declined during this period, so he will have this unusual reaction.After enjoying the joy of a winning streak, he felt very uncomfortable when he felt the taste of failure again. Facing the Raptors, he wanted to change this situation, and he wanted to win.

Calderon was doing a simple crotch dribble from the outside, observing the situation on the field with a pair of eyes.

Anthony Parker came out from the outside to catch the ball, followed by Efflalo, the two had a entanglement on the outside for a while, then Anthony Parker forced Afflalo, dribbled two steps and then made an emergency stop for a jumper, and the basketball came out of the frame .

The rebound was taken by Love, and Love scored Billups.

The Timberwolves advanced quickly, and the Raptors quickly retreated.

Zheng Ke ran from the bottom line to the three-point line, Love made an off-ball screen for Zheng Ke, and Billups found the opportunity to pass the ball.This time, Love's cover was not very good, and Graham still kept up with Zheng Ke's pace.

Zheng Ke made up his mind to hit him again.

The center of gravity was pressed down, the feet paused, and the forks stood up, the right leg was bent into a lunge, the body shook suddenly, the right foot took a tentative step, the hands that pressed down to hold the ball were separated, and the right hand was replaced. He slammed the ball, then swiped it, changed hands in front of his body to his left hand holding the ball, leaned his body, and rushed to the inside line like lightning.

Graham was deceived by Zheng Ke's fake action, and his center of gravity changed slightly. When he saw Zheng Ke's real breakthrough direction, it was too late.How fast is Zheng Ke?He didn't even have a chance to foul.

"Dry!"

Graham cursed inwardly, turned his head and chased after him.

Bargnani had a rare moment of hardening, and ran out from the inside ahead of time, faintly blocking Zheng Ke's attacking line to the basket.

Zheng Ke dribbled away from the basket, took two steps to the right, and then stepped back with his right foot.

"Z~"

Basketball shoes screeched against the floor.

Zheng Ke's body stopped suddenly, and he raised his hands to the sky, as if he was about to make a sudden stop for a jump shot.

"Don't think about it!"

Graham, who arrived later, gave a loud shout, jumped forward vigorously, and reached out to Zheng Kegai, but he didn't see the sly smile on the corner of Zheng Ke's mouth.

While flying in the air, Graham found that Zheng Ke didn't take off, Zheng Ke was still squatting, holding the ball with both hands to protect his waist, "Oops!" Graham secretly thought, he already understood that Zheng Ke What to do.

The next moment, Zheng Ke raised his hands, grabbed the basketball and took off, bumped his arms against Graham who was in the air, and then threw the ball in the direction of the basket indiscriminately.

"duo~"

The referee's whistle sounded.

The basketball is in the air, fluttering and flying towards the hoop.
"Shh!"

"And one!" Zheng Ke was overjoyed, clenched his fist and swung it fiercely.

The home fans immediately burst into loud cheers. They shouted "ZK" loudly, and their faces flushed with excitement.

Zheng Ke stood on the free throw line, and the referee threw the ball over.

Zheng Ke was afraid of the ball, took a deep breath, and threw the ball steadily.

hit!

7:2.

The situation of the Raptors is suddenly very unfavorable. Zheng Ke has scored 7 points. He made 3 of 3 shots. It was a horrible thing. Raptors coach Jay Tagliano made a decisive decision and requested a timeout.

"Joy (Graham), we have to play our style, don't let the No. 17 on the opposite side get the ball easily!" Jay Tagliano explained the tactics with spit: "Defense, you know, we need Playing defense, cutting them off the perimeter, forcing turnovers"

Back from the timeout, the Raptors calmed down a lot.

After several deflections, the ball reached Calderon on the outside. Calderon took off and threw the ball calmly facing Billups who was rushing towards him.Hit!
7:5.

The Timberwolves attack.
"The Timberwolves have a huge advantage at home, and the Raptors lack flank defenders. Zheng Ke is simply asking for anything from the Raptors." Today's match was broadcast on the court TV, and Yu Jia watched the slow motion and explained.

"Yes, and facing the Raptors, the Timberwolves have an advantage inside. Bosh is a cutting inside and a good face-up attacker, but he can't handle the Timberwolves' inside alone, and the Timberwolves Rebounding inside is very brutal, Love and Anderson can add up to 89 rebounds every night." Yang Yi explained to the audience friends while looking at the technical information in his hand.

The morale of the Timberwolves team was like a rainbow. At the end of the first quarter, Zheng Ke scored 18 points, and the Timberwolves led the Raptors by 32 points 22 to 10.

"ZK, your offense is getting sharper and sharper." Sitting on the bench, Love said to Zheng Ke with a little envy.

"It's okay, you've made great progress." Zheng Ke said with a smile, his face relaxed.Now Zheng Ke's overall score is as high as 88. In the league's small forward position, only James and Anthony have higher scores than him.

In terms of offense, Zheng Ke's offensive score has reached 90, so the reason why he gives people the feeling of a defensive champion is first of all the problem of system skills. The system skills he is equipped with are "blocking defender", "chasing body Shot-blocking masters are all defensive skills.Secondly, Zheng Ke has been trained as a defensive champion since he entered the league, and he has successfully shaped himself as a top defender. During this growth process, Zheng Ke has formed a defensive instinct, even if he is now expensive. As the boss of the team, he still likes to defend and enjoys the process.

As for Le Fu, Zheng Ke found through the system that Le Fu's growth rate is amazing, especially during the winning streak in January, it seems to have given Le Fu a lot of "experience value", and Le Fu's comprehensive score has reached 81, of which the rebounding score is as high as 93. Although the defense is still very average, Love's growth trajectory has not changed, and he is developing into a terrifying rebounding machine like later generations.

"Really?" Le Fu had a happy smile on his face when he heard Zheng Ke's praise.

"Of course," Zheng Ke said with a smile: "Look at your three-point shooting percentage. During the winning streak in January, it seemed to be 30.00%.

"Hahahaha," Love said happily, scratching his head, "I don't know why, recently the three-pointers have become more and more accurate. I feel that they are more accurate than long-distance two-pointers. But now some media say that I His style of play is soft, saying that I just like to float on the outside, which makes me very distressed."

"Whatever they say," Zheng Ke showed a disdainful expression, and said, "The media are all acting according to the wind. When you have achieved impressive results, they won't question you. You know, Dallas That big man is said to be soft every day, but he has never changed his style of play, and his attendance rate is much higher than those tough guys flying around in the sky, and he is an All-Star every year." Zheng Ke was still in his heart. Added a sentence, in 11, he also won the championship.

"What you said makes sense." Billups handed over his bright head and said, "Actually, the most important thing is to find a balance between rebounding and outside shooting."

"Then how can we find this balance?" Love pricked up his ears, paying close attention to this point, and it seemed that he had been exposed to this problem.

"I don't know either." Billups looked embarrassed.

Zheng Ke: "."

The Timberwolves' bench lineup is led by Randy Foye, with Channing Frye, Brewer and other good players. Facing the Raptors' bench lineup composed of Kapono and Moon, they have the upper hand. It wasn't that Kapono hit two three-pointers, the point difference would be even wider.

But even so, when Zheng Ke played the game, the Timberwolves had already led 46 to 33 by 13 points.

At the end of the halftime, Zheng Ke scored 23 points and 3 rebounds, and the Timberwolves led by 58 points 42 to 16.Back in the locker room, the Raptors were downcast like a bunch of roosters who had lost a fight.

In the third quarter, Zheng Ke still felt the same and scored 10 points in a single quarter, allowing the Timberwolves to maintain a 15-point advantage into the fourth quarter.As Yang Yi said, Bosh scored 25 points alone, but the Timberwolves led the Raptors by a large score. The gap between the two cannot be made up by Bosh alone.

In the end, the Timberwolves beat the visiting Raptors at home. Zheng Ke played in three quarters and scored a game-high 33 points. At the same time, he sent 5 rebounds and 2 steals, adding a lot to his name of the best of the month in the Western Conference brilliance.
