one-handed ball

Chapter 235

The finals have never been a stage for role players, but there are always some unknown supporting actors who stage counterattacks.

After the Magic team was suspended, Pietrus made a three-pointer and made an 8-2 spurt for the Magic. Zheng Ke felt that the momentum of the Magic players on the field instantly overwhelmed the Timberwolves.

This is a bad sign, he is going to pass the basketball and prepare to play a single.

Pietrus bullied himself, known as the "French Jordan" with outstanding physical talent, he is already one of the few outstanding wing defenders of the Magic.

Zheng Ke faced Pietrus and started a simple dribble from the crotch.

Before he could make a breakthrough, someone from the Magic immediately came to double-team. It was Tony Batty, who replaced Lewis. I felt a lot of pressure.

"here!"

Billups slipped out and put his hands on his chest. Seeing this, Zheng Ke immediately passed the pass.

Because of double-teaming Zheng Ke, Love was completely empty when he received the basketball. He aimed at the basket and threw the ball calmly.

"boom."

The basketball went out of the frame and was grabbed by Howard for a backcourt rebound.

It's a pity that Zheng Ke has a black line. It's a pity that he missed this kind of open shot.

It was too late to regret, Zheng Ke called his teammates to retreat.Alston chased the Timberwolves' ass through half court, then stood outside the three-point line and began to observe the formation on the field.

It is still Howard's high-position pick-and-roll tactics. This time Billups bypassed Howard and directly blocked Alstom's forward route.

Alston was taken aback, subconsciously cross-stepped and dribbled, stopped his figure, and then slowly took two steps back.He distributed it to Turkoglu who came out along the top line, and originally wanted to make a pick-and-roll for Turkoglu.But Zheng Ke was too close to the ground, so he took a big step and got stuck in the position ahead of time to pass Alston's pick-and-roll.

Turkoglu paused, changed hands and dribbled the ball in front of him, preparing to break through from the right.

Zheng Ke chuckled, braked suddenly, and stopped his body easily. He stretched out his terrifying long arms and pointed at the basketball in Turkoglu's hand like lightning.

"Snapped!"

Height is Turkoglu's advantage, but also his disadvantage. Zheng Ke is the most powerful contender for the best defensive player. I don't know how many times he used this steal against his opponents this season, but he still tried it repeatedly. .

The basketball stumbled and rolled towards the frontcourt, Zheng Ke stepped up quickly, picked up the basketball, and ran away.

The Magic gave up their defense. Zheng Ke's speed was too fast, and he rushed through the half court in the blink of an eye. The Magic didn't have a master of chasing and blocking shots like James. How could they defend against Zheng Ke's fast break?
Zheng Ke looked back vigilantly, and after making sure it was safe, he slowed down.

Amid the boos of the audience, he rushed into the free throw line. Two steps later, he grabbed the basketball, bent his legs, took off, and spun.Hovered up like a dragon and flew towards the basketball hoop.

"boom!"

Zheng Ke let go of his hands, jumped off the basket, and watched the audience gasp in unison, filled with a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Zheng Ke completed a 360-degree turn and dunk!" Sun Zhengping was obviously very excited, and his voice became a bit sharp: "He intercepted Turkoglu's dribble and rushed to the frontcourt with a dragon. Completed a 360-degree dunk! He is the first Chinese to complete a dunk on the stage of the NBA Finals!"

Sun Zhengping's words made people's blood boil. Zheng Ke didn't know that he had accomplished such a "feat". What he knew was that the morale of the players of the Magic team dropped after he dunked, while the morale of the players of the Timberwolves fell. It has risen a lot, and under the ebb and flow, the Timberwolves began to play more actively.

Howard is not incomprehensible inside, at least his crude offensive methods make Anderson less painful when defending Yao Ming, and Anderson's judgment of the placement and Howard's offensive methods are much more accurate.

Do not let go, do not double-team, insist on one defense and one defense. Whitman adopted such a conservative tactic against Howard. He hopes to change the defensive strategy through the change of effect.

At the end of the single quarter, the Timberwolves led the Magic by 24 points 22 to 2. Howard received his second foul at the end of the first quarter, which is good news for the Timberwolves.Howard was replaced by the Polish Gortat.Although Gortat was selected by the Suns in 05, he entered the NBA only last season. In other words, he, like Zheng Ke, is a rookie player in the 07 world.

Zheng Ke is different from international players like Gortat. Although Zheng Ke has Chinese nationality, he has studied in college in the United States and participated in the NCAA college student league in the United States, which meets the requirements for signing up for the NBA draft.There is no need for an overseas player like Gortat to be 22 years old to land in the NBA.

The first half of the second quarter is completely the performance time of the two teams' substitutes.

Compared with a center like Gortat, Channing Frye is simply another style of center that is completely opposite to him.Nelson, who came off the bench, was not as good as expected, and Kyle Lowry could even press Nelson on the court.

"The impact of the small steel cannon is really extraordinary." Zheng Ke couldn't help admiring after seeing Lowry avoiding Gortat's block and completing another layup.

"He is becoming more and more confident now. Although the progress is slow, I see the potential in him." Whitman's ears were so sensitive that he actually heard Zheng Ke's words, and turned his head across Afflalo and Zheng Ke. After Ke said something like this, Zheng Kelei was immediately taken aback. Are you a good listener?

Compared with Randy Foye, who is less and less reused, Lowry is more and more reused in the playoffs, and his performance level is getting higher and higher, even making people ignore his unreliable three-point shooting ability.

"Shh!"

Channing Frye hit the second three-pointer after coming on the field.This goal directly made the Timberwolves lead by 6 points, and Zheng Ke who was watching was excited. He stood up and applauded, and at the same time shouted to the Timberwolves who performed well on the court: "Good job, that's it beat!"

This made the Orlando fans sitting behind them even more upset, and felt that this guy was particularly annoying.

Van Gundy wiped the sweat from his brow, and began to continuously change the formation for the Magic, replacing players on the field in a revolving lantern manner, hoping to find one or two Magic players who are in full condition.

In less than half a quarter of the game, the Timberwolves led 35 to 27 by 8 points, and the Magic's substitutes couldn't handle the Timberwolves' substitutes!You know, when they met the Lakers and Rockets in the first two rounds, the Timberwolves' substitutes were blown out!Both Odom and Artest are almost All-Star players.The contrast was so great that the Timberwolves players were surprised.

The Magic can only replace the starting players in advance, hoping to restore the situation of falling behind on the court.

The Timberwolves saw their tricks and replaced Mike Miller, who made 2 of 0 shots, with Zheng Ke, Brewer, and Kevin Love.

ESPN filmed a picture of Van Gundy encouraging the morale of the Magic players in the locker room before the game. Van Gundy said: "We have even dealt with LeBron. Are we still afraid of Zheng Ke now? Play our style, play our strength, Stay aggressive, shoot with confidence when it's time to shoot, and we'll win the game! Come on guys, come on."

However, halftime was about to pass, and the strength of the Timberwolves made the Magic frightened.I originally thought that the Cavaliers with the first record in the regular season should be even stronger, but I didn't expect such a terrifying enemy to be hidden in the West.Whether it's players' fighting spirit, tactical coordination, or offensive ability, the Timberwolves are extraordinary.Playing against the Timberwolves feels more difficult than the Cavaliers.

"This is a hard bone!" Big Van Gundy felt a little headache.

Zheng Ke got the basketball from the outside line, passed Turkoglu's defense with one step, and near the free throw line, facing Howard who came out, he directly made a jumper.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in.

"Do it!" Howard picked up the basketball and slapped it vigorously. The more he played in this game, the more frustrated he became.Obviously the Timberwolves didn't double-team him, but he couldn't handle the Timberwolves' group of bamboo pole-like inside players.

The old fans in the stands were in a trance for a while. The blue figure just now, that lightning-like one-step leap, and the jump shot without fear of any defender, was very much like the talented No. 1 player back then.It reminded them unconsciously of the glorious years of the Magic.

Some of Zheng Ke's technical moves are still quite similar to McGrady. He now has more and more offensive weapons in his arsenal, but in essence, he is still similar to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who likes to use "one trick, eat it all" If the player of "God" can make fade-away jumpers all the time, he will definitely shoot fade-away jumpers non-stop all night.

The Magic then played a 12-5 counterattack, but at the end of the halftime, Billups teamed up with Zheng Ke to contribute another small climax.

At halftime, the Timberwolves led the Magic by 50 points 41 to 9. Even in an away game, the advantage is still very obvious
　Pindao will go to Yunyou for a few days recently, and the update cannot be guaranteed. I hope all fellow Taoists will forgive me, and I will make up for it when I come back.
