Chapter 230 The battle of life and death
Will the Timberwolves perform miracles?
The only thing people think of after the game is such a thought, after all, they have created too many impossible.How many players can reach the Western Conference Finals in the first playoffs?At this moment, people think of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Stone Buddha Duncan.These darlings all won the championship when they participated in the playoffs for the first time or in the second quarter. Zheng Ke's performance is enough to be compared with them.

Therefore, James, who also fell behind 1 to 3 and also led the team to victory with god-level statistics in the last game, is placed with great expectations. People expect that this proud man, like Zheng Ke, is looking forward to the Eastern Conference Finals Also entered the life-and-death battle of the tie-break.

In such a high-profile situation, Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals officially began in Orlando.

霍华德成为了这场比赛的主角。东决时候一向不温不火的魔兽终于觉醒了，他全场21投14中，拿下了40分并且抢下了14个篮板。最令人难以置信的是，他本场的罚球居然达到了16罚12中。

Howard's such a powerful performance allowed the Magic to suppress the Cavaliers' performance from the second quarter.When the overall situation was settled at the last moment, Howard even tried to throw a three-pointer. Although he missed it, he entertained the audience.

The Magic defeated the Cavaliers 4-2, advancing to the finals again since O'Neal's Westward Journey.

"Magic?" Zheng Ke looked at Howard who was holding the Eastern Conference Finals trophy on TV, and muttered softly.

"You haven't even passed the Rockets level, so you started to pay attention to magic?" Taylor, who was lying in Zheng Ke's arms, turned upside down and lay down in a more comfortable way.

"Have you heard all of this?" Zheng Ke was speechless, and people who make music have sensitive ears.

"Humph."

"By the way, next game is going to Houston, do you still want to go?" Zheng Ke stretched out his hand, gently stroking Taylor's golden and smooth hair, with a smile on his face.

"Well, I'm not going, I'm going to prepare for my solo concert next month!" Taylor murmured while he was half asleep and half awake, with his head pressed against Zheng Ke's lower abdomen.

"Next month?" Zheng Ke counted with his fingers and said, "Maybe I have time to attend your concert too!"

"Really?" Taylor regained her spirits all of a sudden. She raised her little head, then stared at Zheng Ke and asked, "Is it okay? Then you can come on stage and sing a few lines."

"This." Zheng Ke said with a bitter face, "Forget about my bad voice, but I can give you a show or something when the time comes."

"Don't, just sing "baby"! You've already practiced well." Taylor grabbed Zheng Ke's chest and skirt.

Zheng Ke: "."

After the Eastern Conference finals came to an end, the prospect of the Western Conference finals became even more confusing.Is the Rockets with the "Big Three" able to get close to the finals or the Timberwolves with top small forward Zheng Ke stand out?The experts dare not jump to conclusions, and bluntly say that there is a [-]% chance, and life and death can only depend on the destiny.

Yao Ming became the dominant player in the penalty area in this round of the series. He averaged 29.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, causing great trauma to the Timberwolves' inside line.

With a performance of 51 points in three quarters, Zheng Ke also became a player who shocked the world.If leading the men's basketball team in the Olympics doesn't allow him to advance to the ranks of the world's top small forwards, then his performance in the playoffs is undoubtedly the best proof that he has become the world's top small forwards.

Many fans in China sighed: "Why do these two have to kill you in the West?"

However, no matter what, the confrontation between the two in this round of the series will give fans aftertaste. Five years or even ten years later, people will still miss the sensation caused by the two Chinese players in a foreign country.

Yao Ming was interviewed by the media at the end of the sixth game.

The reporter asked why the Rockets lost a good opportunity with a 3-1 lead, whether the Rockets encountered any difficulties, and whether the Timberwolves had any changes.

The answer is yes.

Yao Ming said in a deep voice: "We encountered difficulties in the offensive process, and there were some problems with our shooting. The Timberwolves have made some changes accordingly. Their offense has become smoother and their counterattacks have become sharper. But we will Make adjustments in the next game and we'll win."

Yao Ming's words are more like the Rockets' final declaration for victory.

The final battle between the two teams, like sparks hitting the earth, was staged at the Toyota Center.

"I won't hold back this time, we will definitely enter the finals!" Yao Ming held Zheng Ke's hand and said with pride, his face was full of determination.

"I'm looking forward to it." Zheng Ke smiled and firmly held Yao Ming's hand.

Players from the two teams greeted each other and hugged one by one before going on the field.Although the Timberwolves and the Rockets fought six games, the atmosphere of the two teams is still good. Although the Timberwolves are strong defensively, they do not have players with a lot of tricks, and there are no fierce players who specialize in ruthlessness. Most of them are fighting their own conditions. Fight, fight fair and square.Not to mention the Rockets, Yao Ming, Shane Battier, and Tracy McGrady are all good guys.

The camera has been aimed at the important players on the field, from Zheng Ke to Yao Ming, from Billups to Artest, each star gave a close-up.

The referee tossed the ball into the middle of the court, blew his whistle and tossed the ball straight into the air at the same time.

Game start!
"Actually, no matter which team enters the finals, I am optimistic about the western team winning the championship!" TNT host Barkley, who came to the scene to explain today, said to his old partner Smith next to him.

"why?"

"It's simple, because both teams have a player who can dominate the battlefield, and the Magic is much worse in this regard. To beat the Cavaliers is already a super-level performance of the Magic. The Cavaliers should have entered the finals .” Barkley spoke eloquently.

"I don't think so. Dwight Howard is also a player who can dominate the penalty area." Smith sang a different tune.

"No, no, he can't. His current offensive method is too single. Besides, Zheng Ke is different from LeBron. LeBron's biggest threat lies in breakthroughs. This is something Howard can defend, while Zheng Ke's biggest threat lies in him. The feeling of surrendering. There is a clear gap between the two in the selection of offensive proportions." Barkley said.

"Well, let's not talk about that, it's still unknown who will be out. Looking at the field, the Rockets gave the Timberwolves a big blow in the first quarter. The alley-oop between McGrady and Artest was very overbearing!"

"Billups made a three-pointer here for the Timberwolves. It seems that he continued his good touch from the previous game."

The two gradually entered the state of commentary, and slowly explained the game.

Zheng Ke broke through once with difficulty, rushed to the inside and shook his outstretched arm left and right, and finally met Yao Ming's arm as he expected, and made two free throws.

Zheng Ke stood at the free throw line.

At the bottom of the screen, Zheng Ke's average data since entering the playoffs immediately appeared. He scored 36.5 points, leading the pack. Jordan, who is behind him, only averaged 33.4 points per game in the playoffs.

At the same time, TNT broadcast TV stations are very interesting. They once again showed Zheng Ke's draft data. He was selected by the Timberwolves with the 2007th pick in the second round in 11.This is obviously another slap in the face of many team general managers in the league, and a slap in the face of many league team scouts.

Zheng Ke made two free throws.

The Timberwolves led the Rockets by 9 point 8 to 1. The referee blew the timeout whistle, and the game entered the first official timeout.

With the start of the game, the ratings rose linearly, especially for overseas audiences. The NBA was the most popular in all sports in the United States during the same period.

Zheng Ke sat on the bench enjoying a little rest time.

It feels like just a moment.As the tide of cheerleading beauties in miniskirts receded, players from both sides took to the field one at a time.

The Rockets held the ball, and Tracy McGrady advanced halfway with the ball.

It was still the same tactic. After a few guides, it was thrown to Yao Ming who was behind him and asked for the ball.Yao Ming reached out to grab the basketball, leaning on Birdman like a mountain.

He leaned his back, and Birdman quietly exerted strength with his hands, pushing against Yao Ming.

Yao Ming pulled up the basketball with his left hand, then turned around lightly, and used a South American tango pace similar to Scola's, and stuck the birdman into the penalty area.

"boom!"

He stepped up and easily dunked with one hand.

"Quick attack!"

Before the Rockets players could celebrate, the Timberwolves quickly sent the baseline ball.Billups, who got the basketball, boldly made a long pass and found Zheng Ke who was galloping up the frontcourt.

"It's fast break again!" The Rockets fans were angrily, watching Zheng Ke who took the lead, and scolding the Timberwolves for their shameless fast break.

"Hey!"

After receiving the ball, Zheng Ke checked to see if there was anyone behind him, and after making sure it was safe, he easily got up in three steps and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

The movement is very simple, but it shows the good coordination quality of the Timberwolves, causing Barkley to yell: "Strike! A 3-second fast break by the Timberwolves is really a game of dragons and tigers!"
