Chapter 198 Most Improved Player

"A good shot. Zheng Ke completed an alley catch with Lowry when he came up. The tacit understanding between the two was fully demonstrated in this alley catch. This season, the two have performed such performances many times." Yang Jian said the explanation.

"When Billups gets old, I look forward to the cooperation of Zheng Ke and Lowry who have grown up." Yang Yi laughed.

"Aldridge step back jumper, hit! Really accurate."

"Zheng Ke took the ball behind his back at the free throw line, double-teamed again, found Lowry, and passed back to Zheng Ke to turn around and make a fadeaway jumper, and it went in! Ouch, it was so difficult."

After Zheng Ke played in the second half of the second quarter, his offense became more determined. Facing the double-teaming of the Blazers, his choice was also more calm. Even a strong attack guaranteed a certain degree of efficiency.

The Timberwolves strengthened their defense. The shooting percentages of the two teams were not very good. At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers led 45 to 43 by 2 points. Go-ahead score.

Zheng Ke scored 11 points in the half and 7 points in the second half of the second quarter.

In the second half, the Blazers strengthened the cooperation between Roy and Aldridge, and the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two increased significantly.Today, Aldridge's touch has recovered, and when facing Love, he can regain his regular-season demeanor. Compared with the first game, he is obviously much more comfortable.

The two teams were in a tense situation and the scores were close. In the third quarter, they tied 71-71.

In the fourth quarter, when the rotation lineup was playing on the field, Randy Foye finally showed his power. In the regular season of this season, Foye averaged 14.5 points and 4.1 assists per game, although his shooting percentage was only 43%. But the three-point shooting rate is 39%, so Foye is also a strong contender for the best sixth man of the season.

Foye's inside throw and outside three-pointer gave the Timberwolves a lead of more than 5 points for the first time in this game, which made McMillan very panic-stricken, and quickly applied for a long timeout to the technical table to prevent Foye from While throwing the touch, let the Blazers players take a break.

After returning from the timeout, Blake hit a mid-range shot, and the Timberwolves led by 76 points 73 to 3.

At this time, the best goal shot of the game appeared.

The Timberwolves attack, Lowry holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Blake is defending him. Channing Frye runs out to pick and roll for Lowry. Blake glanced and found Channing Frye on the right side of his body.

Lowry controlled the ball and made a breakthrough to the left. Blake took a big step and bypassed Channing Frye.But immediately, Lowry's slightly burly body disappeared from his eyes!

"what?"

Blake turned his head and found that Lowry had already broken through from the right side. The speed was not fast, but he went straight into the hinterland of the Blazers.

Oden was pulled to the perimeter by Channing Frye. The Blazers were stunned as a whole. No one came to defend Lowry. Time was fleeting. Two steps later, Lowry raised the basketball with both hands!

"boom!"

The 1-meter Lowry hung high above the basket, making the biggest humiliation to the Blazers inside today.

"Oh my god! Lowry turned around and passed Blake and completed a two-handed dunk!"

This time, not only the commentator, but all the players sitting on the Timberwolves bench stood up. Everyone couldn't believe this scene. You must know that Lowry rarely dunks in the game, even in normal training games. It's rare to see him dunk, this time it's really a surprise.

Le Fu leaned back, opened his hands, and showed an exaggerated expression, while Zheng Ke was there applauding gracefully, with a smile on his face, and looked up at the playback camera from time to time.

In the replay, Lowry dribbled the ball with his left hand and took a step to the left, then pulled the basketball back with his left hand. His body quickly wiped away Blake's body like a spinning top, and broke through from Channing Frye's right.

This is a very morale-boosting goal, and the Timberwolves players instantly played more actively.

However, the point difference between the two teams has not widened. The Trail Blazers played very tenaciously. When the main players played, the Timberwolves were only 81 points ahead of 76 to 5.

At the final moment of the decisive battle, the Timberwolves still had a weak lead. This was the result of the hard work of the substitutes. The Trail Blazers were slightly worse off the bench, so the Timberwolves seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to open the score.

When the bayonets of the two teams saw the red, they fought bloody and fought hard.In the last few minutes of the game, it was basically a contest of willpower between the two sides. Every rebound, every attack, and every change of ball possession was exciting and could determine the final direction of the game.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Ke's strong attack after taking the ball has a better effect than simply playing tactics. His breakthrough to kill or break through the ball will bring a lot of pressure to the Blazers. , As soon as he wants to get the ball, Batum and Gomez will surround him, and the defense is tight and it can even be called "double team without the ball."

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves narrowly won by 2 points at home.

Leaving aside Roy's lore miss at the last moment, in terms of the contribution of the whole game, Roy beat Zheng Ke completely.In this game, he made 24 of 14 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 10 free throws. He scored 9 points and 39 assists. Aldridge scored 7 points and 27 rebounds. Able to win a victory at home in the Timberwolves.

But no matter what, the Timberwolves have retained their home court advantage, and the pressure has shifted to the Trail Blazers. In the next two away games, as long as the Timberwolves can win even one game, the balance of victory will completely favor the Timberwolves.

Zheng Ke made 16 of 7 shots and scored 20 points and 5 rebounds. From all aspects, he did not have the glory of his first game. A little worried, after the game, they left messages on the Internet, hoping that Zheng Ke could get out of the siege circle of the Blazers and regain his momentum.

At the end of the two games, the Timberwolves went from a big victory to a narrow victory. Many fans speculated that the next game should be a narrow loss.

Without the home court advantage, the referee's whistle scale will definitely be biased towards the Blazers. After all, the boos of tens of thousands of fans in the audience will still affect the referee's penalty to a certain extent. Terman set the goal of winning one of the Timberwolves generals as much as possible.

On April 4, in Portland Rose Garden, the Timberwolves challenged the Trail Blazers away.

Previously, the Most Improved Player Award of the season had been announced. Zheng Ke overwhelmingly defeated Danny Granger and Devin Harris and became the Most Improved Player of the 08-09 season.

Zheng Ke is very happy to get this award, this is his first season of individual honors.The one-handed ball system also improved him to complete the hidden task: being elected the Most Improved Player of the Year.

Since Zheng Ke's ability value has reached the All-Star level, he has rarely paid attention to the system. The current situation is that the system is a bit like a super scout, which can broadcast Zheng Ke's own status and progress anytime, anywhere. The pitiful GS points can't meet Zheng Ke's needs to upgrade, but the rewards for completing hidden tasks can make him improve a little.

But overall, he has not completed several hidden missions this season. Except for the "Most Improved Player of the Year" this time, he has completed the "Elected Best of the Week" and "Elected Best of the Month" awards. After this season, Zheng Ke's ability value has broken through the ninety mark.

These two points are the ability values ​​that Zheng Ke has raised recently. Without increasing Zheng Ke's overall strength, they can guarantee his continuous combat ability and ability to avoid injuries.

Zheng Ke has an overall score of 91 points, an offensive score of 94 points, a defensive score of 89 points, and a rebounding score of 80 points.System comment: A super scorer who meets once in ten years, a superstar who has no dead ends on the basketball court.

It is such an almost invincible attribute, but when facing the Blazers, he was so embarrassed by the defense, which made Zheng Ke very annoyed.

In this game in the Rose Garden, the situation has changed.At the beginning of the game, the Blazers implemented a double-team policy, but the Timberwolves shot very resolutely. Billups, Afflalo, and Love all fired from the outside in turn. Before half a quarter, the Timberwolves scored 19 points. , Leading the Trail Blazers by as much as 11 points, making McMillan sweat on his forehead.

After the official timeout, the Blazers gave up such a defense and chose to let Gomez defend alone, occasionally assisting in defense, and Zheng Ke was able to breathe.He began to show his 35 martial arts skills. He showed no mercy when facing his former friends. He took advantage of Gomez's weakness of slow footsteps and succeeded in breaking through one after another. At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led 21 to 14 by [-] points.

The Blazers are obviously caught in a dilemma, and their defense has a big problem
