one-handed ball

Chapter 206 Fast Attack Rhythm
For Kobe, this is already a rare long story.

Each NBA star is an independent individual with their own personality and playing style. With the growth of age and the increase in the number of games, the maturity of stars is an inevitable thing.This is the case for Kobe. These two years are his peak period and his most mature two years. He is also trying to learn to be a good boss instead of blindly being a scorer.

Teaching teammates a lesson is also a kind of growth.

Under Kobe's words, Ariza became much calmer in handling the ball.

In all fairness, the Lakers' lineup is indeed better than that of the Timberwolves, and most importantly, Gasol at his peak was really scary.Mid-range shots, low-post hooks, rebounds, passes, and defense are omnipotent.Ariza's defense is also much better than Batum's. Fortunately, his strength is average, otherwise Zheng Ke really couldn't find a better way to attack for a while.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 22 points 27 to 5.

There was no heavy cheering or strong booing in the Staples Arena. For the Timberwolves who came from afar, they did not have a sense of crisis, and the Lakers' suppressed performance in the first quarter also proved this point.

The Timberwolves players felt the pressure, and so did Zheng Ke. He sat on the bench panting heavily, letting unstoppable sweat flow from his forehead.He suddenly had an illusion that the Lakers didn't seem to be exerting their strength, but they beat the Timberwolves to a slightly embarrassing situation.

In the first quarter, Zheng Ke scored 7 points and 4 rebounds on 10 of 2 shots. According to the previous games, he was definitely leading the Timberwolves in this game, but now he is behind by 5 points. Offensive, the Lakers suppressed the Timberwolves on the scene!

Whitman's tie had already been ripped off by him at some point, but the exquisite and noble Lakers home court made him feel a cold killing intent. The Zen master sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai at this moment was like a magic hand behind the black curtain. Manipulate the chessboard and show the Lakers' strongest weapon step by step.

The trouble is very big.

Whitman only felt his tongue dry, and the Timberwolves, known as the bench bandits, were not as sharp as usual at the moment.Whitman has to admit that when Odom is not in a daze, it is an extremely luxurious thing to use to play the sixth man.Brewer was too thin and Smith was too short. When Odom appeared on the court as a power forward, Whitman had difficulty finding suitable players to limit him for a while.

The point difference between the two teams has been widened.

The war between the benches has entered a heated stage, and Lowry has become the only bright spot on the Timberwolves bench.As for Randy Foye, it seems that after entering the playoffs, he became silent and lost his activeness in the regular season. You know, he is a candidate for the best sixth man of the season.

"It's not easy to fight!" Whitman shook his head in his heart.

He replaced Zheng Ke in advance, which was also a helpless move. Although the Timberwolves are only 7 points behind at the moment, the substitute has a faint tendency to collapse. As the head coach, I still have this intuition.

"The Timberwolves replaced Zheng Ke in advance!" Weber exclaimed.

"This is something that can't be helped." Magic Johnson laughed and said: "Although the Timberwolves' bench lineup is good, it seems to be a bit lost in Staples. The boys may be frightened by so many stars, and their state is obviously not as good as usual. .”

Brewer gave Zheng Ke a high-five depressedly, with a melancholy face, and said apologetically, "Zheng, we're in such a bad state, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Zheng Ke smiled slightly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "The Lakers are indeed difficult, but it's not like we haven't won against them, why should we be afraid?"

Hearing what Zheng Ke said, Brewer's depression dissipated a lot, and he also patted Zheng Ke to show his support.

Zheng Ke's appearance aroused a lot of boos at the scene, but compared to Portland's nearly full-court boos, this booing is simply negligible.

Lowry made the second free throw steadily, and the Timberwolves were 30 points behind 36 to 6.

In the Lakers' offense, the 2-meter Odom is slowly advancing with the ball.

A gleam flashed in Zheng Ke's eyes, and with a stride, he rushed to the front of Odom, opened his big hands, and covered Odom's whole body.

Odom was taken aback, he subconsciously turned his back to protect the basketball.

In fact, making Zheng Ke defend a somewhat unstoppable Odom is a tactic he himself proposed to Whitman on his own initiative.Zheng Ke thinks that his height is more than enough to play a power forward, not to mention that he has outstanding wingspan and amazing strength. No matter how good Odom holds the ball, he cannot dribble better than a defender.

Zheng Ke stretched out his ape-like right hand, circled Odom's waist without joints, and gently tapped the basketball in Odom's hand.

Odom was careless. Zheng Ke has always been praised for defending with the ball. Like Paul, he is the kind of player who can average many steals per game without losing his position.

This was a bit unexpected, the basketball immediately escaped Odom's control, bouncing and rolling forward.

Zheng Ke then squeezed Odom away with brute force, a shunpo burst out, picked up the basketball on the floor, and rushed towards the Lakers' half court.

Before Odom came back to his senses, someone intercepted the basketball in his hand, and then found a huge No. 17 back rushing into his sight, and between breaths, the back was as small as himself Can't keep up at all.

Zheng Ke looked back, but no one returned to defend. He knew that the audience and even the fans all over the world were staring at his figure at this moment.

One step, two steps.

There was only that lonely basketball hoop left between Zheng Ke's world, and he flew up obliquely from the free throw line, sending out the basketball with both hands leaning forward.

Is it just an ordinary two-handed dunk?
No, of course not!

Zheng Kekong withdrew his hands grabbing the basketball, received the abdomen, received the crotch, and then pulled it back to his right shoulder, making a big circle!
"boom!"

Zheng Ke's hands came into close contact with the basket, and at the same time as there was a loud bang, the basketball hoop trembled violently.

Zheng Ke opened his hands and stood on the ground with his knees bent, feeling the unstoppable exclamation from the audience.

"I buy it!" Magic Johnson's eyes widened, and instead of the audience, he uttered the loudest exclamation: "Zheng Ke steals Lamar (Odom) and completes a one-stop dunk in the frontcourt. What is Lamar doing, is he distracted again?"

"What a perfect dunk! Whether it's the height of the jump, the distance of the glide or the grace of the movement, this dunk is impeccable!" Chris Webber praised: "Perfect, perfect!"

"Although I have seen countless dunks performed by Zheng Ke, I still can't believe that his bounce can reach this level. It is really amazing. I really hope that the league can invite the young man to participate in the dunk contest!" Zheng Ke was full of praise. He has always liked Zheng Ke, a star who has grown up through his own efforts.

"Haha, I am looking forward to this scene very much." Weber laughed.

Odom really didn't lose his mind this time. Zheng Ke's pressing, taking out the ball, and galloping away in one stride were all done in one go. It can only be said that he was a little careless because of the noise of beating the Timberwolves just now, and accidentally made a mistake.

He was determined to get it back, and while pushing forward, he shouted for his teammates to move.

The Lakers' bench lineup is Odom, Vujacic, Shannon Brown, Fisher and Bynum, while the Timberwolves' lineup is Lowry, Afflalo, McMiller, Zheng Ke and Channing Frye.

In 09, Bynum was only 22 years old. When he entered the league in 05, he was under 18 years old. The Lakers spent a lot of effort to cultivate this "little shark" who seemed to have great potential.We don't know whether there is any expectation to make him a big shark, but what can be seen is that Bynum's tonnage is getting more and more exaggerated. In the era when NBA centers are dying, his body has given him A lot of convenience.

Facing the Timberwolves substitute guarded by Channing Frye, he played smoothly.

This time, after Odom tried every means to break through Zheng Ke and failed, he gave him a high-profile insider, so Bynum turned around simply, using his body to squeeze a little space, and used the small hook that he learned from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

hit. 32 to 38.

Before Bynum could celebrate, Channing Frye picked up the basketball and sent it out. The speed was so fast that one of Channing Frye's feet was still in the air and did not step on the floor.

Fast break See you fast break!

Before the Lakers could react, Lowry, who received the ball, gave a long swing and threw the ball high into the sky.

I saw the audience at the scene twisting their heads in unison following the parabola of basketball.

In the frontcourt, Zheng Ke and Afflalo both played fast breaks, but the Lakers retreated, but Ariza, who was closely following Zheng Ke, was the only one, and immediately formed a two-on-one situation.

Zheng Ke received the basketball and rushed towards the lonely Ariza with the momentum of the Timberwolves. That posture was clearly preparing to attack the basket directly.

Ariza closed his eyes, he put his heart on the line, protected his vitals, and stood in front of Zheng Ke.

A cunning flashed in Zheng Ke's eyes, he flicked his wrist and threw the ball to the left side of the basket.

Afflalo had a good heart, just jumped up, firmly caught Zheng Ke's pass in the air, and then hung on the basket of the Lakers half like a bomber!
34:38.

In less than 1 minute, the Timberwolves scored two fast breaks!
