one-handed ball

Chapter 195 Eighty percent chance
The Timberwolves won their first victory in the playoffs, and Zheng Keshen's performance has become a topic that people talk about.

After the game was over, Zheng Ke needed to attend the press conference. After taking a shower in the locker room, he walked into the press conference room of the Target Center with Whitman.

At the press conference, McMillan commented on the game: "I am very satisfied with the performance of my players. At the beginning, we encountered some difficulties, but then we made adjustments and immediately played momentum. The Timberwolves The shooting percentage in this game is very high, Zheng Ke played an incredible performance, we will reflect on this loss, make adjustments, and show our style thoroughly next time."

Roy then took questions from reporters. This is a reporter from the Minnesota area. With a smile on his face, he asked Roy his opinion on his opponent Zheng Ke scoring 47 points.

Although Roy has always been personable, the question the reporter asked was so disgusting that even he couldn't help but change his expression.Immediately, his face returned to normal, and he smiled and said: "ZK is an amazing player. He is in good form today, feels hot, and scored a lot of unbelievable goals. Um~~ This is a series of events, Timberwolves' Defensively well, I think we'll have a strong counter-attack."

There were a lot of reporters on the scene. After the Blazers' interview, the Timberwolves' interview began. Immediately, the hands of all the reporters in the audience stretched out like mushrooms.

A reporter from the "Minnesota Chronicle" was the first to ask: "ZK, first of all, congratulations on scoring 47 points. In the course of your career, this is your second highest single-game score. Do you have any ideas?"

Zheng Ke smiled. He knew that the reporters would ask questions like this, so he replied calmly: "It feels good. Everyone knows that I am a defensive fighter, but tonight, I became As a scorer, it's a good feeling, like a steak and an occasional veggie."

The audience burst into laughter, and even Roy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

A reporter from the "Minnesota Sentinel" asked: "ZK, throughout the entire game, the Timberwolves' offense was very smooth. It seems that your advantage is very large. Have you ever thought about sweeping your opponent to advance?"

McMillan's face immediately became very stiff. He glanced at the reporter, lowered his eyes, and did not speak.

Zheng Ke knows that this issue is a little sensitive. He can think this way, but he can't say it this way: "The Blazers are a very tenacious team. Although we have the upper hand most of the time in tonight's game, everyone has also seen that The Blazers had a few threatening counterattacks. As a member of the Timberwolves, of course I hope to advance to the next round, sweeping or 4-1 makes no difference. Now we have a good sign, and we need to maintain this state."

The reporter seemed very eager to see the smell of gunpowder between the two teams, and he continued to ask the second question: "What do you think of your opponent Brandon Roy? In this game, your shooting percentage, scoring , Rebounds are higher than Brandon Roy, do you think you are stronger than Brandon."

Now Roy's face was also dark. These reporters in Minnesota were really annoying. They couldn't tell it in the regular season. When it came to the playoffs, they were simply afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Zheng Ke laughed, he turned his head and glanced at Roy, and then said with a smile: "Branton Roy is a shooting guard, and I am a small forward, we are not players in the same position, and there is no distinction between strength and weakness. It’s like comparing Allen Iverson to Shaquille O’Neal, there’s no comparison.”

"But you are all swingers?" The reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Zheng Ke's answer, and chased after Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke was helpless, and said: "Since this is the case, I also think that I and Brandon are players of the same level. In this game, my statistics may be slightly better in all aspects, but it does not prove that I am better than Brandon. What's more The strengths of players can't be judged only by statistics, those may be deceiving. Players' skills, fighting spirit and spirit are the criteria for judging a player. If you have to rank high and low, I hope to be more comprehensive and judge scientifically."

There was a burst of applause in the hall immediately. What Zheng Ke said was very good, showing that he is a team player, not the kind of data brush. Even if this reporter did not hear the answer he hoped for, but for Zheng Ke’s words Satisfied with the answer, he nodded and sat down.

After the press conference was over, it was already very late, and the lively crowd near the Target Center Arena had dispersed, and the business in the bar was still booming. The fans who drank big glasses of dark beer hugged each other in twos and threes, and they shouted loudly. Talking about the game, the fans who entered the arena to watch the game showed off their feeling of watching the game in the arena, causing bursts of exclamation from time to time.

Zheng Ke wore headphones, kicked the accelerator, and drove back home.

Taylor hadn't gone to bed yet, she was in her pajamas, and made supper for Zheng Ke.It is Zheng Ke's favorite ramen, which contains a lot of peppers sent by Zheng's mother from her hometown.

Taylor sat on the chair, resting his chin, watching Zheng Ke eat noodles.

Zheng Ke took a deep breath of the fragrance, and smiled at Taylor, "Let's eat together, Taylor."

"No," Taylor smiled. She doesn't like greasy food, and eating late at night is not in line with her eating habits. She usually eats some fruit before going to bed.

Taylor looked at Zheng Ke wolfing down there, with a sweet smile on his face, and said: "Ke, you performed very well today, how does it feel to be shouted MVP?" Taylor was talking about the last point of the game Zhong Shi's two free throws and the MVP chanting from the audience stunned all the other foreign reporters and scouts. Only then did they know that in Minnesota, Zheng Ke was already a "little emperor" figure.

Zheng Ke chuckled, chewed a ball of noodles and swallowed, and said excitedly: "Of course it's good. You know, the sound of the more than 2 spectators in the audience is so loud. I know, Now it is popular in the league that when the home stars make free throws, everyone shouts MVP in unison, which is an affirmation to us and an encouragement to us.”

Taylor said: "The company has started to make a profit now, and the songs of the two of us are now occupying the top few billboards. My third album songs have been recorded, and the MV is almost ready."

Zheng Ke didn't expect that Taylor had almost finished recording the album. He wondered: "Then, the next step is not to release the album directly, hold a concert or something?"

"Almost," Taylor smiled. She knew that Zheng Ke didn't know much about this aspect, so she patiently explained: "We still need to do preliminary publicity work, and when the time is right, we will release the album, and then we will sign the concert Will wait."

"Well, you two are fine anyway." Zheng Ke didn't pay much attention to this aspect. In his view, this company is just a platform for Taylor to freely display his musical talent, and he doesn't care if he makes money or not. The point is that Taylor is happy.

Taylor shifted the topic to basketball again. She is now a qualified fan. She sometimes comes to the Target Center to watch Zheng Ke's games, and even takes time to shoot a group of photos for "Sports Illustrated" magazine in jerseys Of course, she is wearing Zheng Ke's Timberwolves No. 17 jersey.Today, Taylor has become one of the most beautiful female fans in the NBA. Taylor's beautiful face often appears in the Timberwolves' game footage.

Taylor said: "Ke, what probability do you think we have to advance to the next round?"

Zheng Ke smiled, drank the last sip of soup, and said: "The Timberwolves' morale is booming now, but the Blazers are not easy to play. Although we won the first game, the second half was actually evenly played. I don't know. What will happen in the future, maybe the next few games will be indistinguishable, we can only see the last critical moment."

There are no reporters at home, Zheng Ke told the truth, he continued: "I think the probability of Timberwolves advancing is more than 8%."

"8%?"

"That's right," Zheng Ke nodded and said, "It's 8%"

"But you just said that you want to watch the crucial ball at the last moment." Taylor asked suspiciously.

Zheng Ke showed a confident smile: "I am so confident because I have to watch the key ball. I think if it is a critical moment, I will not be worse than anyone, even Brandon (Roy), I think Not as good as me."

"You are really confident." Taylor's eyes complete the crescent moon, and she likes Zheng Ke's confident look.

Zheng Ke's self-confidence comes from his skills, and also from his honing in so many games. The Timberwolves have suffered countless tests at critical moments. Compared with the Spurs and Lakers, which crush everything, the Timberwolves often Fighting with opponents until the last moment, Zheng Ke rarely gave the ball to his teammates at the last moment.

It's not that I don't trust my teammates, but I trust myself too much.

Timberwolves entering the playoffs is the goal he set for himself this year, but after entering the playoffs, he has a new goal, he wants to enter the second round. The NBA playoffs are a large stage that is constantly shrinking. Sixteen teams show themselves on this stage. After each round, a part of the stage will be reduced, half of the teams will be kicked, and the final solo ball will be played. The team is the king of the world.

The more you go to the back, the more you show yourself to the world, so there is no round, not only economically beneficial, but also very helpful for personal development.

What's more, striving to move forward and strive for the top is the essence of competitive competition.
