one-handed ball

Chapter 228 A Man Like God
Zheng Ke's counterattack came so fast and so violently!

After the timeout, he still played crazily, three-pointers, mid-range shots, and breakthroughs. He was omnipotent, just like Zhao Zilong who was seven in and seven out of the million Cao army back then. He came and went freely in the Rockets' position, It's like entering the land of no one.

"What to do, what to do?" Adelman, who was watching the game, could no longer sit calmly on the bench. He stood up, paced back and forth, and yelled into the field from time to time.

"Zheng Ke held the ball with one hand from the outside, suddenly started, passed Sean (Battier)'s defense, made an emergency stop jump shot, and hit it!"

"Zheng Ke ran back to the bottom line, Chauncey (Billups) gave an alley-oop! Good shot, the Timberwolves scored two more points."

"Zheng Ke played Ron (Artest) with a post-up single, the Rockets double-teamed, turned around and made a fadeaway jumper, and made it! It's so difficult!"

"Zheng Ke made a 3-pointer from the outside and hit it! I buy it, he's crazy!"

"Zheng Ke."

The commentary of the first quarter of the two hosts broadcast by TNT almost revolved around Zheng Ke. The two of them praised Zheng Ke's strong counterattack in constant surprise, and Zheng Ke's score was also counted consciously. So, 10 points, 14 points, 19 points, and finally, at the end of the first quarter, Zheng Ke scored 25 exaggerated points!
Adelman let Shane Battier and Artest, who were selected to the best defensive team, take turns to play, but Zheng Ke still couldn't do anything about it. He obviously wants to supernatural rhythm today.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Rockets by 36 points 22 to 14.

The warm atmosphere before the game was gone, the cheering voices of the audience became smaller and smaller, and gradually fell into silence, only a few places where people were still shouting and cheering.

Zheng Ke walked back to the bench surrounded by the crowd, and he was only 4 points away from breaking the highest score in a single quarter in the history of the NBA playoffs.On May 1987, 5, in the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, Slip Floyd scored 10 points in a single quarter, the highest score in a single quarter in the history of the playoffs. His 29 points in the half also set a record for halftime scoring in the NBA playoffs.

"Not bad, not bad!" Whitman smiled and handed a glass of water to his disciple himself.Facing the players sitting on the bench, he once again issued his encouraging declaration: "We maintained well in the first quarter and played our style, which is to press the Rockets. Once Yao Ming holds the ball, we will firmly Double-teaming, the Rockets feel very average today, we have a great chance to win, if we win, the next game will be our home game!"

This made Billups roll his eyes, thinking that in the first quarter it was Zheng Ke who blew up the Rockets all by himself, that's all, and where did his own style come from.

"The Rockets can't deal with Zheng now. We just need to give him the ball, open the space, and throw the damn ball to me when there is an open shot. The Rockets will have no way to tie the score again!" Whit Ru Shi yelled.The game in the first quarter also made him feel ups and downs, clamoring to beat the Rockets by a big score!
Zheng Ke slowed his breathing a bit, and he chose to take a temporary rest at the beginning of the second quarter.He went all out in the first quarter, and he had never done anything to attack the rim before, and this time he was really tired.

When there were 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Zheng Ke re-boarded the playing field.At this time, the Timberwolves are still leading, but they only lead by 46 points 37 to 9.

After Zheng Ke played, the Rockets players trembled in their hearts. They subconsciously thought: He is here!

Even the TNT host's eyes lit up, and he regained his energy and began to explain.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zheng Ke smiled slightly, facing Artest.

"Joke." Artest sneered at Zheng Ke's words and made a gesture of disdain.

Zheng Ke didn't speak, and the two began to secretly wrestle among the crowd.

It was Channing Frye who started from the outside line. When Zheng Ke felt hot, he was more able to open up the space than Anderson, and his three-pointer was a big killer that the Rockets had to defend.

After a few guides, Zheng Ke asked for the ball with his back near the baseline on the right, and Billups accurately lobbed it to him.

"Post-up singles again!" Rockets fans wailed for a while.

Some people say that Zheng Ke has a single offensive method, but he was able to score high points in the playoffs with tight defense. The most important thing is that he likes to use the same action to solve the battle tirelessly.Just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook and Jordan's fadeaway jumper, when these skills are practiced to the state of returning to the basics, there is no need for other offensive methods at all.

So far, Zheng Ke's behind-the-back jumper has obviously accounted for the highest proportion in his offensive battles, so high that even the Rockets fans watching the game are annoyed.

But he can get in!

"Shh!"

The Timberwolves reopened to more than 48 points 37 to 10.

Not to mention the fans in Houston, when fans from other regions watched this game, they obviously had a great impression of Zheng Ke, who has been working hard and fighting unyieldingly. You know, Americans like to read scripts about lonely heroes.The Timberwolves in doom, Zheng Ke who scored 25 points in a single quarter, and the hero who saved the team by himself, all of these are in line with their aesthetics and their values.

Zheng Ke felt his state, as if he had entered a wonderful situation. The positions of the players on the field seemed to be engraved into his mind. He could clearly know how and where he should go next. Even at the moment of every shot, he has the illusion that he will definitely score a goal.

After halftime, Zheng Ke had scored 36 points, and the forest also led by 63 points 48 to 15.

No one expected that the Timberwolves or Zheng Ke could burst out with such energy in a desperate situation, like talking in the night, it was too dreamy.

But this exists. The surprise that Zheng Ke sent was too great, which made the Rockets and Timberwolves' already high ratings continue to skyrocket a lot. Many fans who were watching the text live broadcast desperately returned The purpose of watching TV at home is to see the demeanor of Zheng Ke who continued to go crazy in the second half.

They made no mistake. In the third quarter, Zheng Ke continued to perform miraculously. He shot directly after a single block, shot after covering his eyes, and still scored two plus one after being touched. His Every goal can be rated as the five best goals in the game, and every goal can make the two hosts of TNT exclaim like "God", "Go in again".

The entire third quarter was a microcosm of Zheng Ke's season growth. He showed the world his incisive offensive ability and led the Timberwolves to a wave of offensive climax.

At this moment, Adelman calmed down instead. He sat back on the bench and looked at Zheng Ke who was trying to gallop. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Zheng Ke scored 51 points in three quarters, and scored 15 points in the third quarter alone. After three quarters, the Timberwolves also successfully pulled the point difference to more than 20 points.

Such super god-level performance reminds people of Larry Bird's evaluation of Jordan's 63-point game: tonight he was possessed by God, and he controlled the entire game.

That's right, Zheng Ke controlled the whole game. He used 27 shots and hit 19 of them, including 6 three-pointers. The efficiency is outrageously high.

In the fourth quarter, Zheng Ke sat on the sidelines to rest. At this time, he could easily watch the performance of his teammates on the field and read the game from the perspective of a bystander.

The Rockets finally struggled for half a quarter, and then raised the flag to surrender.

Enthusiastic Rockets fans began to leave early one after another when the Rockets surrendered in the fourth quarter. They hung their heads and put away slogans such as "close to the finals".Of course, there are also some die-hard Rockets fans who are still cheering for the Rockets who are already in garbage time.

When Zheng Ke left the field with the team and entered the player tunnel, there were still many fans extending their palms, hoping to high-five the superstar who showed his power tonight.He lowered his head, stretched out his terrifying wingspan, walked along, and high-fived countless fans.

The total score was chased to 2 to 3, and the next game was the Timberwolves' home game, which made Zheng Ke feel good after seeing hope.Humming and chirping, he took a shower and left the arena.
