one-handed ball

Chapter 303 Fight Again
"What? Failed?"

"Team, that's how things are. Two people are more stubborn than the other." McHale rested his cheek in one hand and held the phone in the other, showing a helpless expression.

Sure enough, Glenn's roar came from the phone in the next second.

"Didn't you pat your chest to guarantee it? What do you want me to do? Are you trying to let the whole league see our Timberwolves joke? Let me ask you now, can our Timberwolves still enter the second round?"

McHale was silent, and then replied after a while: "I'm afraid. It's very difficult."

"My day." Glenn let out a heart-piercing wailing sound, as if he saw countless money grow wings, and then slowly flew away from his eyes.You know, every time you get close to a round, the income will increase exponentially!Last year's Timberwolves championship, his assets were doubled.

"What did Zheng Ke say? He doesn't really feel bad for the Timberwolves like the media said?" Glenn suddenly asked McHale nervously.

McHale was a little stunned, but immediately reacted, and said, "No, it didn't happen this time. I chatted with him for a long time, and he was ready to fight to the death. But you know, there is only one championship, every year 30 teams are recruiting, and only a very small part of them succeed in the end, just like us last year. As long as we guarantee this team, next year or in the future will be championship contenders.”

Hearing what McHale said, Glenn took a long breath, and he told McHale: "Kevin, you have worked hard during this time. I know, it's a bit heartless for me to say this, but after all, the team's The future hope is still only on Zheng Ke, so after this season, Zheng Ke must stay. Ahem. As for Randy, as for the new head coach candidate, I think you should be able to look for it. Follow your advice."

Sure enough, McHale thought that as he expected, the board of directors would definitely take Whitman.

"It's still early days. But boss, you know, even though we are down 0-2 and lost two games in a row at home, the competitiveness is still there. I believe in the professionalism of those people, they think they will give 120% I will work hard and continue the next game, so the final result is not yet conclusive, everything is possible."

"Hehe, Adidas' slogans are already used, why don't you say "No Brothers, No Basketball"?"

McHale: "."

McHale is right, the professionalism of the Timberwolves is strong.Whether it is Zheng Ke or Whitman, they have at least indicated that they have returned to normal training.To deal with the Spurs, the two are indispensable, and the Timberwolves are not without the power to fight. The difficulty now is that the Spurs have less pressure in their hearts, and they have home court advantage. Compared with the Timberwolves on the edge of the cliff, they are more comfortable.

Every day, there will be densely packed reporters at the gate of the Target Center, and the Timberwolves players will be completely surrounded. Only relying on the security guards at the gate, the security guard led by Uncle Henry barely blocks a narrow passage for the Timberwolves players. While the Timberwolves players are training, they are full Harassed.

What Popovich said in the interview was a blockbuster, which detonated directly in the center of the target.He did not simply kill two birds with one stone, but caused a series of chain reactions.

Almost at the same speed as fleeing, the Timberwolves players left Minneapolis.

Unexpectedly, when they came to San Antonio, they were still greeted by a group of crazy reporters. Their harassment was far more terrifying than the beating of drums and drums by extreme fans.

On the evening of the 23rd, the Timberwolves led by Zheng Ke visited the Spurs AT Center.

One is recharging his energy and recharging his energy, united as one, but the other is facing internal and external difficulties and is in a desperate situation.This is a battle that no one can afford to lose. The Timberwolves have been proven many times how tenacious a team is. Winning this game will definitely make them more terrifying.The Spurs players knew this very well in their hearts, so they had the same serious expressions, and they didn't say that they were overjoyed because of their two consecutive away games.

"We are already on the edge of a cliff. If we lose, we really can only go home and go fishing this season!" Seeing that Zheng Ke had no intention of speaking, Billups volunteered, clapped his hands, and loudly encouraged the players morale.

Popovich knows that the Timberwolves will definitely explode with amazing energy in this game. This is a basic common sense judgment.The Timberwolves trailing 0 to 2 is like a team that was behind by a big score in the first half, and this third game is like the third quarter of the game. This quarter is the only chance to equalize.If there is still nothing to do in this quarter, then the last quarter will become garbage time, just like after falling behind 0 to 3, the fire of hope is basically extinguished.

So he arranged a strict arrangement and even made certain lineup adjustments.

"It's actually Ginobili starting?" Zheng Ke glanced at the Spurs' lineup and was a little surprised by Popovich's boldness. He dared to put Parker directly on the bench. What is he going to do?
What Zheng Ke didn't know was that this wasn't the first time Popovich had put on this formation this season.The starting backcourt led by Ginobili and George Hill is not weaker than the combination of Parker and Gambos. In order to maximize the offensive efficiency, Parker's playing time has actually been reduced this season. , In addition to his own injury reasons, George Hill's outstanding performance is also an extremely critical factor.

Jefferson was like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be beaten to death. He was almost killed by Zheng Ke in the last match, but this time he was alive and well.

"Why, haven't you fired that damned coach yet? I'm you, and I've already slapped you in the face."

"Huh." Zheng Ke turned his head and snorted softly. He didn't believe Jefferson's big mouth at all. Seeing Jefferson's eloquence, he immediately retorted: "Do you dare to slap Popovich? If you have the guts, you will go."

Jefferson was not annoyed, shook his shiny head, and smiled: "Ha, Greg and I have a close relationship, do you think they are all the same as you?"

Zheng Ke yelled at this idiot in his heart. Seeing that Duncan and Pekovic had already started to jump the ball, while the referee was not paying attention, he secretly pushed Jefferson, and then pounced on McDyess like a leopard.

Sure enough, Duncan jumped and won the basketball. The basketball flew majestically towards McDyess. The old man stretched out his hands and was about to take the basketball.
Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from the corner of McDyess' eyes.

"I wipe."

The old man was rich in experience, and he reacted instantly, speeding up the extension of his arms. A pair of black palms and a yellow-skinned palm pressed on the basketball at the same time.

"Hey!"

A smile flashed across Zheng Ke's face, he tapped the basketball lightly with his finger, changed the direction of his strength, and swung the basketball over McDyess's head.

The audience opened their mouths wide, watching the basketball that just fell and flew into the sky again.

On the ground, Zheng Ke was extremely fast, bent his knees, and instantly bypassed McDyess to chase the basketball in the air.This is like a football match, Zheng Ke's flash of imagination is amazing.

Tall, long arms, fast, strong.

Zheng Ke completely crushed the Spurs generals in this pure physical fight.George Hill watched Zheng Ke jump up in front of him, grab the basketball, and then charge towards him with a flying speed.

Like a heavily loaded tank, facing such a behemoth, George Hill was inevitably a little flustered, and his calves could not help but tremble.

But at the moment of contact, Zheng Ke's movements were extremely light. He pulled the ball with his right hand and his left foot as the axis. With the flexibility that did not match his figure, he turned and wiped George Hill.

In the hinterland of the Spurs, Zheng Ke easily slammed in, took three big strides, and completed a double-handed dunk with a flat head.

Light and fast, brutal and violent.

Has the AT center ever seen such a performance?I have been watching the troika defeat their opponents in the simplest way of basketball. Have you ever seen a swingman like Zheng Ke who does not follow the routine?The frame filling at that moment was really amazing, and the hearts of the fans couldn't help but slow down for half a beat.

Naturally there were boos all over the sky, but Zheng Ke shook his head from side to side, with a calm expression on his face.

Zheng Ke is someone who has seen big storms, and he can survive no matter how big the situation is.In Portland, in Staples, the fans there are more "enthusiastic" than the fans in the AT Center. He is even known as the big devil in Portland, and he is actually the number one villain.

George Hill's face was a little ugly. On the stage of the playoffs, he got a rare chance to start, but Zheng Ke turned around and wiped him clean.

He controlled the basketball and pushed it past half court.

After halftime, Ginobili on the wing received a pass from Hill.Pick-and-rolls, running positions, screens, simple tactical coordination, combined together is the sharpest offensive weapon.Hill began to slide to the left bottom corner at the top of the arc, and Jefferson ran to the top of the arc to catch Ginobili's pass.

The Spurs screened in the paint, and Duncan came out and asked for the ball in a deep position.

Jefferson passed the ball, at this time Gibson squeezed out of the pick-and-roll space, and barely put his arm behind Duncan, but he didn't dare to push him hard.

Duncan who got the basketball in this position is no different from sending points directly.He usually turned around and hooked, and the basketball was thrown to the basket. Gibson was powerless and could only watch the basketball obediently enter the frame.

This is the strength of top insiders.It is said that when O'Neal was young, to get the ball at this position, he basically turned around and dunked, and he didn't even bother to use the hook.

2 to 2, the third stop of the Spurs and Timberwolves, the first round of the opening.

draw!
