one-handed ball

Chapter 255 Premiere
The game between the Timberwolves and the Wizards is in the second game of the opening game. At this time, the climax of the Cavaliers vs. Celtics has just passed. Fans who are still unsatisfied are waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the appearance of the defending champion.

As the opening game of the defending champion, the Timberwolves will raise the championship banner at this moment, and the players of last season will receive the championship ring issued by the league.

This is a great honor.

The moment Zheng Ke and others put on the championship ring, what they enjoyed was the cheers of the fans in the audience like a tsunami.Zheng Ke could clearly see the deep envy in Iverson's lonely eyes at this moment.

This is an athlete's deepest desire for honor. Even Thornton and others who have just entered the league also have this nature.

Wizards starters: Arenas, Stevenson, Butler, Jamison, Haywood.

Minnesota's starting lineup: Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love, Anderson.

Although Whitman intends to use Anderson as a substitute, judging from the current level of team integration, last season's winning starting lineup is obviously more suitable for the opening game.

Iverson's appointment as a substitute made many "Iverson fans" a little bit injured today. Many fans holding Iverson's huge head came to the scene to cheer for Iverson, even in Minnesota, where Zheng Ke overshadowed the sky with one hand , There are still many players wearing Timberwolves No. 3 jerseys, which is very surprising.

After resting for a season, he was finally able to spread his hands and feet again and run on the basketball court to his heart's content. This made Zheng Ke's body tremble, and he felt that every cell in his body was calling for him.

"I can't wait to play the game." During the interview on the field, Zheng Keru said.

TNT sent a lineup of old friends to explain the opening game of the Timberwolves, Barkley and Smith.

Barkley commented on the Timberwolves' new lineup: "This lineup is very young. Although it also has veterans like Iverson, Billups, and Brandon Miller, in general, they still have the ability Hat of the Young Guard."

The two talked about the team's strength ranking before the start of the season.

"As the defending champion, the Timberwolves are only ranked third. It seems that the experts do not agree with the Timberwolves' offseason operations." Smith said.

"Yes, the Lakers and Magic are both ranked ahead of the Timberwolves." Barkley was a little annoyed by this: "You know, these two teams were overthrown by the Timberwolves last season."

"No way, after all, the strength of both teams has been strengthened during the offseason. The Lakers signed Artest, and the Magic traded Vince Carter. It has been strengthened, and it is very targeted." Smith flipped through the materials in his hand and said quickly.

The referee signaled the starting players of both sides to stand in their positions and start preparing for the kick-off.

With the sound of a whistle, Heywood and Anderson jumped up at the same time, and the two stretched out their terrifying wingspan, struggling to go to the basketball point in the sky.

Anderson took the lead by a narrow margin, and Love got the ball that flew in.

Love passed the ball from his crotch to Billups behind him. Billups turned around and hit the ball from his crotch again. Love flicked the ball and let Billups Puth regained control of the ball.

"Tactics No. 3!" Billups stretched out three fingers and began to direct the movement of all the players on the field.

"The No. 3 tactic seems to be a singles tactic for Boss Ke, um, it seems to be a low-post singles tactic." Ty Lawson asked his senior Lowry with some uncertainty.

"Right." Lori nodded.

As the team's backup point guard, Ty Lawson still needs to memorize all the tactical codes of the Timberwolves. Although he has practiced together for a month, Lawson is still a little forgetful. Taking this opportunity, he sits aside and reviews various tactics. .

Zheng Ke got the basketball in the low post, and Butler pushed behind Zheng Ke.

Back singles has now become a signature technique of Zheng Ke. Butler bent his arm against Zheng Ke's waist, and the warmth of Zheng Ke's body came from his arm, like a volcano with huge energy.

"boom!"

With a toothache back impact, Butler grunted and was forced to take a step back.Zheng Ke was so powerful that he turned around holding the ball, straightened his arms back, and hit a jumper!
"S~"

Ty Lawson gasped, feeling his body go numb.

"This is Boss Ke's true strength. You didn't use this trick when you were singled out. Otherwise, you really thought you could score two goals?" Lowry said to Lawson teasingly, seeing Lawson surprised Suddenly, I felt an inexplicable joy in my heart, and I felt like a senior.

Butler rubbed his painful chest, and felt that Zheng Ke seemed to have a stronger impact.

The Wizards attack, and Billups defends Arenas outside.

The 09-10 season was Arenas' last season in which he was able to be unrestrained. It was the season in which he averaged points and assists per game in the last 6 years of his career. 22.6 points and 7.2 assists were enough to make him a Wizards fan. The reason for the revival, unfortunately, his attendance rate is still not high, not even 50%.

But now, after a season and a summer of training, Arenas has adjusted his body to the best condition.

Faced with Billups' defense, Arenas called Haywood to come and do the pick-and-roll.He slapped the basketball a few times quickly, bypassed Billups' defense, walked to the free throw line, and directly pulled up a jumper.

"Shh!"

2:2.

Anderson's defense was a little slower. After Billups picked up the basketball, he communicated with Anderson. The two hadn't really played a game for several months, and there was some discrepancy in tacit understanding.

Timberwolves attack.

Several people guided the ball several times on the outside. Finally, at the 45-degree position, Zheng Ke and Love performed a pick-and-roll cooperation. Under the natural barrier, Zheng Ke passed Butler's defense. He dribbled the ball with his right hand for two consecutive A change of direction, and then a lightning step, breaking through the bottom line, Jamieson couldn't catch up, watching Zheng Ke rushing into the inside line.

Zheng Ke's speed and strength ensured his impact. Before Heywood could react, Zheng Ke had leaped into the sky.

"boom!"

Waving his strong arms, Zheng Ke smashed the basket so that it deformed violently.

"The basket is lowering its head, as if surrendering to the boss of Ke." Thornton praised. He is 1 meters tall and can also dunk the tomahawk, but he lacks strength, so it is difficult to dunk like Zheng Ke. domineering.

Zheng Ke scored 4 points in the opening game, which made the audience cheer.

When retreating, Zheng Ke and Love clapped hands to celebrate, "Well blocked."

"Hey." Le Fu smiled innocently, pursed his lips and remained silent.

In the opening game, the Wizards' offense was sharp, and several shooters, including Arenas, were all slightly accurate. After half a quarter, the two teams tied at 15.

"Aaron, go and replace Aaron." Whitman looked at the bench, and finally settled on Iverson.

"Well." Iverson stood up, twisted his body, and took off his training clothes, revealing a thin No. 3 back.

Barkley's eyes lit up in the stands: "Wow, is Allen going to play? This is his first show in the Timberwolves, oh, he replaced Aaron Afflalo, this is going to be a shooting guard Rhythm."

Seeing Iverson's appearance, the fans at the scene immediately became agitated. Almost all the audience stood up. They cheered loudly, yelled Iverson's name, and clapped hard for Iverson.

The sound became louder and louder, and even Iverson, who was used to strong winds and waves, was moved. He made a thank you gesture to the fans in the stands, and waved to the fans around him.

"It's even more popular than me!" Love looked jealous and high-fived Iverson who was playing.

When the Timberwolves had an offensive opportunity, Zheng Ke gave the ball to Iverson in unison. The defender on Iverson was Dishaun Stevenson, who is 28 years old and 1 meters tall.

Just when everyone was guessing how Iverson would pass Stevenson, Iverson started!

Although plagued by injuries and over 34 years old, he is still as light as an elf, dribbling with his left hand, changing hands in front of his body to break through, and instantly passed Stevenson's defense.

Before Haywood's supplementary defense came, Iverson made a direct throw.

"Pretty!"

Zheng Ke and Iverson clapped their hands to celebrate. This is a breakthrough move that he really wants to learn. Although he can do it, it is difficult to achieve the state of Iverson's integration of human and ball, let alone those in Iverson. A particularly lame feint in front of him.

The arrival of Iverson made the Timberwolves' offensive firepower stronger. Billups was more often used as a spot-up shooter at the top of the arc and at two 45-degree positions, and the control of the ball was simply handed over to Iverson.

Iverson overplayed Zheng Ke who came out of the bottom corner.

Zheng Ke took a tentative step and then took a step across, passing Butler by a position, and then made a jumper with an emergency stop.

Towards the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves replaced Zheng Ke, Billups and Anderson with Lowry, Mike Miller and Brandon Miller.
