one-handed ball

Chapter 296 Change
Successful people always prepare ahead of time.

Zheng Ke observed the game between the Spurs and the Timberwolves for a long time, and found that the players of the two teams really have very different styles.And the fast break that the Timberwolves are famous for is difficult to work on the Spurs, because every time the Spurs retreat is extremely timely, not greedy for merit, and not aggressive. The scary thing about the Spurs is that every detail is handled so accurately. Straightforward.

Zheng Ke once again felt dissatisfied with the team's coaching staff.In his opinion, the long-term victory has made the Timberwolves forget how to maintain competitiveness and fighting spirit. The slack of the coaching staff lies in the poor grasp of the previous situation and the passive response to the crisis.This is the NBA, the place with the highest level of basketball in the world, how can there be any carelessness?As with the players, so with the team.

The Timberwolves did not lose unjustly. After Zheng Ke figured it out, he suddenly felt that perhaps this slap in the face would help the Timberwolves move forward.

The growth of a team is a long process, and there will always be various problems and challenges.Faced with these, what is needed is the leadership of the soul of the team.Zheng Ke felt that it was time for him to stand up. He could not always charge forward on the field, like a general, he had to be a leader who commanded the overall situation.

Leadership responsibility is a word that every NBA star will encounter.Some people have not yet entered the NBA, and the scouts or the general manager will tell him "you are a player who has to take on leadership responsibilities." Some people have gradually occupied a considerable position in the team through their own hard work. The manager or head coach will tell him "it's time to take on leadership responsibilities".

Since the Timberwolves established Zheng Ke as the head star last year, Zheng Ke has begun to try to assume leadership responsibilities.However, after all, he is just a young man who has just turned 20 years old. Although he is majestic on the court, Billups still needs to help and lead in the locker room.Now that the time is ripe, Zheng Ke feels that it is necessary for him to take good control of the leadership of the team and reintegrate the Timberwolves into a whole by assuming leadership responsibilities.

Zheng Ke thought a lot. He called "Big Brother" Billups and told him what he thought.

Billups is the brain commander of the Timberwolves and the player who knows the most on the field. He also has his own views on the loss of the game the day before yesterday.

"To be honest, brother. I think our tactics are completely restrained. Their blocks and moves are all aimed at us. With ordinary tactical confrontation, it is impossible for us to beat them. It's time to make a change. .”

"I know, so I am also very distressed." Zheng Ke said, "They are fully prepared. Our layout is not so targeted, I think. We need to re-integrate the combat effectiveness of the team. We It’s going to take everyone taking responsibility for their part and eventually regenerating that energy.”

"You're right, there are all sorts of problems with the team, and that's pretty damning in the playoffs."

Game [-] of the Timberwolves and Spurs attracted a lot of attention.

The loss of the Timberwolves in the first game seems to give the Spurs the possibility of "black seven". Not only fans of the two teams, but also fans of many other teams that have not entered the playoffs are willing to pay attention to this game.They hope to see this so-called matchup with the highest gold content in the first round.

Therefore, the ratings are steadily increasing.

The Target Center is still packed, and Minnesota fans still have great expectations.In their eyes, the Timberwolves have been so powerful in this arena in the past two seasons that almost no one can please anyone who comes. Now the team has encountered a little trouble, but it can be solved.

The team's locker room.

Zheng Ke stood in the center. He was already fully dressed and attracted everyone's attention.

Zheng Ke took a deep breath and said: "Brothers, I think we have encountered a lot of trouble. The Spurs are definitely not as miserable as the media said before the game. Their main lineup is almost intact, and there are many talented people in the bench lineup." Players. In the past 11 years, the Spurs have won four championships. Although we are the defending champions, we are not worth mentioning in front of them."

Everyone couldn't help clenching their fists, yes, the Spurs have such a glorious history, and several guys on the team are also in their prime, how can we take it lightly?

"I think I have to take the biggest responsibility for the loss in the first game. I only know how to charge the court blindly, but never think about other things. You know, the game is not just a battle, it is a long time. In this battle, I should have noticed some other things. Our first game was not unjustly lost, and the Spurs won the game openly. Whether it is mentality, fighting spirit, tactics or other aspects, they have prepared a lot more than us. "

"In the big family of our director, the Timberwolves, everyone is a good brother. I think we should know everything and say everything. Anyway, the coaches are locked out now, and we can say anything. We are dissatisfied with me. Yes, those who are dissatisfied with, those who need playing time, and those who want to get more ball rights, you can all speak out, let's discuss and solve together!"

Zheng Ke’s words resonated with all Timberwolves members. There will always be problems of one kind or another in an organization. After a long time, it will lead to big problems. Holding it in the heart is not conducive to the atmosphere of the locker room. It is better to say it out.

Billups was the first to respond to Zheng Ke's words. The old guy touched his bald head and said with a smile: "I think Zheng Ke's words make sense. Our team has encountered a, um, difficulty! Want to To ensure combat effectiveness on the court, we must do a good job off the court. For me, I think Zheng Ke has paid too much attention to the overall sharing of the ball in the past. We are not the Spurs, and we will never be able to achieve their balance. If you want to beat the Spurs, you must strengthen your personal offense and defeat them in the most American way, just like the OK combination at the beginning. So I think, Zheng Ke, you must be more determined to attack the ground in the next few games!"

"I agree." Iverson said, "The NBA is not an international competition. Individual energy is sometimes stronger than the overall energy. The Spurs are not a team that can be defeated with tactics. To defeat them, we must strengthen our individual offense. Whether it be K or anyone else. We need to keep the aggression!"

Zheng Ke was shocked when he heard that, yes, even if the Timberwolves are a team with excellent tactical execution, how can they compare with the Spurs?We have outstanding talents. If we want to beat the Spurs, we must use our talents. This is the only way for the Timberwolves.
And this time-

Whitman and his coaching staff sat in the conference room, still discussing tactical issues with the Timberwolves.As the head coach, how could he not know where the Timberwolves lost in the first game?It was not only a loss of luck, but also a loss of mentality and tactics.All he could do was to come up with tactics to deal with it.

But I don't want to, in the Timberwolves locker room, the players have reached a consensus to use their talents to attack the Spurs. Compared with Whitman racking his brains to think of tactics to crack the Spurs, the Timberwolves players' choice is more direct and violent.

The sun was setting.

The center of the target illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun was exceptionally bright, and the scattered golden brilliance flowed down, as if coated with a golden frame.

In the arena full of people, people who have worked all day still maintain great enthusiasm.Watching the Timberwolves playoffs is the most relaxing and happiest thing of their day.

"I didn't expect the Spurs to win the first game."

"That's right, I can only say that they were very lucky. Look at Manu Ginobili's 3+1 at the last moment, it really hurt morale."

"I don't think they will take the victory this time. Our strength should still be higher than the Spurs. In the regular season, we had the third record in the league. Our Zheng is the scoring leader with 33 points per game. Among them It seems that Duncan is the one with the highest score, but he only averages about 17 or 18 points per game, how can he compare with us?"

While the fans shouted excitedly, talking about some things about the NBA is what they are most happy to do.These topics can always stimulate the excitement of these fans, and it is easy to get excited.

As the lights dimmed, the Timberwolves players were introduced one by one in the DJ's rapping voice.

Zheng Ke and others came out in a file, enjoying the cheers of the audience, and their hearts were surging. "This is what it feels like to be at home, and this is the powerful cheer!"

Everyone put their arms on their shoulders and surrounded the city.

"What are we?"

"Timberwolves!"

"What are we going to do?"

"Fight! Fight!"

As the lights of the double row came on, the starting players of both sides stood on the playing field.Zheng Ke tore off the sports jacket all over his body, revealing the No. 17 white jersey inside. The black armguard on his left arm looked mysterious and evil against the snow-white jersey.He walked under the basket, jumped up lightly, hung his hands above the ring, and did a few pull-ups.The cameramen behind him snapped a few photos in a row, taking a picture of Zheng Kesai's front hanging frame.

Zheng Ke walked across the court, shaking hands and hugging the starters of the Spurs one by one.

"You don't want to take away the victory this time!" Zheng Ke raised his eyebrows and issued a battle declaration to Duncan.

Duncan still looked blank, and didn't say much when he heard Zheng Ke's declaration, but he took a deep look at Zheng Ke, as if saying "Come on!"

The two held hands, their momentum soared, and there was a fierce collision in the air!
