one-handed ball

Chapter 349 Low Score

In the past two years, they were only the No. 8 Bulls in the Western Conference, but now they have made great progress.

Noah, with a playful ponytail tied behind his head, can be called one of the most ridiculous hairstyles in NBA history. Of course, a small number of people will still like his alternative style.Noah is Zheng Ke's classmate, both of them are draft compatriots from the 07 world, and they are considered close to each other.The 26-year-old was already a member of the double-double club with 10 points and 10 rebounds last season. Although he has not yet practiced a good pass, he has already become the first core of the Bulls inside.

The importance even exceeds the All-Star power forward Boozer.

The Bulls can have such an excellent defense today, and this white big man has contributed a lot.And now facing the Timberwolves, there is no intention of showing any face at all, and they are playing extra aggressively.

The two teams fell into an anxious battle. Zheng Ke didn't intend to give up his strength to attack. Halfway through the first quarter, there were few breakthroughs. Most of the time, he was doing ball passing and post-up singles.

On the contrary, Rose, Billups suddenly became addicted, changed direction drastically, and made the first step as fast as lightning, which was extremely incomprehensible.

Billups played half a quarter, often relying on Zheng Ke's help defense to help limit Rose's offense.So Rose was aggressive, and rushed outside the paint several times but missed the throw, and his shooting percentage was not as good as that of Luol Deng, who made a fixed-point shot from the outside.But having said that, without Rose's strong breakthrough, Zheng Ke would not let go of Luol Deng and shrink the overall defense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls led the Timberwolves by 18 to 17 points.

"A rare point difference!" The host of this game was Barkley, an old acquaintance of TNT. He exclaimed about the Bulls' defensive ability: "I didn't expect this Bulls to have this defensive ability! In my opinion, Not inferior to the Timberwolves at all! Look, even Carlos Boozer has played a lot harder."

Partner Smith said with a smile: "When Carlos Boozer was in the Jazz, he was often trained by Sloan as Karl Malone. Although he didn't have many outstanding defensive talents, he was still very good at small moves. Now his partner Joakim-Noah, it's a perfect match!"

Barkley said: "I really want to see for the first time that the Timberwolves have not scored more than 20 points in the first quarter, and they are more than others. From this point of view, the Bulls have created a precedent for this season. It is not easy to hear. "

Smith made a funny expression and laughed loudly, "Why do you sound like you're praising the Timberwolves instead of the Bulls?"

"Praise?" Barkley laughed, and said happily: "Do the Timberwolves still need my support now? And don't forget, I have been a staunch supporter since Zheng Ke entered the league. At that time, I said that this kid Unlimited, look, I'm right!"

The two of you said something, and I talked and commented in a gag style. Many viewers in front of the TV were entertained. Barkley also broke the news from time to time, exposing something about the relationship between him and Zheng Ke. This hateful bald man I never knew what it meant to be low-key, and I wanted to tell the world that Zheng Ke is my buddy, and he is going to break Michael's record!
And this time-

The game on the court has reached the main rotation time of this quarter, and Rose of the Bulls played the game early.Before Billups played in the rotation, the opponent in front of him was the burly small steel gun Lowry who developed horizontally.Lowry's defense is not much better than that of Lupus, but he is young and in good shape, especially his strong chest muscles. In the face of Ross's impact, he was able to not lose the wind, and he saw Ross, who is used to coming and going freely. look sideways.

"Damn it, the Timberwolves' backup point guards are all so strong?" Rose cursed secretly, feeling that the unattractive kid in front of him was really strong.

"boom!"

Rose carried Lowry into the inside line, stopped suddenly, and threw a one-handed shot.

The basketball crossed an arc, hit the back edge of the rim, bounced a few times, and fell into the net.

"It's okay!" Rose wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then took another deep look at Lowry, who was grinning and rubbing his chest, "This guy is not very tall."

Rose's desperate Saburo style of play brought a huge disaster to the Timberwolves' bench. The two were not at the same level at all, forcing Thibodeau to no longer sit on the Diaoyutai. With a big wave of his hand, Zheng Ke was replaced on the field in advance .

"Wow, the coach is brilliant!"

Zheng Ke was very happy, jumped up, tore off his team uniform, and gently tugged the black armguard on his left arm.In his heart, he had long been unhappy with Rose who was showing off his power on the court, and now he was replaced on the court in advance, which was exactly what he wanted.

Zheng Ke hadn't made his debut yet, but just sat on the technical stage, which immediately aroused cheers from the audience.

Behind him came the cheers of enthusiastic local fans in Minnesota.

"Kill the Chicagoans!"

"Our Zheng Ke is on the stage, you are finished!"

After a dead ball, Zheng Ke returned to the basketball court. At this time, the Bulls led the Timberwolves by 25 points 22 to 3. The two teams played for a little more than a quarter, and the combined score did not reach 50 points.

Rose scored the second free throw and the Bulls led 26 to 22 by 4 points.

Dinghaishenzhen will play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.Thibodeau reacted quickly, and Zheng Ke returned to the court in time, which happened to let the bulls who had gained some momentum lose their momentum.

He didn't choose to shoot the first ball by himself. After attracting the Bulls' heavy siege, he directly moved in a wide range and handed it to Lowry in the bottom corner.With a calm expression, Lowry stood up and raised his hand, and it was a three-pointer.

"bingo!"

Thibodeau clenched his fist and waved lightly, and Zheng Ke was different when he played.

25:26.

Offensive and defensive rotation, the Bulls attack.

Rose, who was in possession of the ball, stood still outside the three-point line, and Lowry stood one meter away from him, obviously giving the highest strategic instructions for preventing penetration and shooting.

"Humph! Do you think I can't make a shot?" Rose felt a sense of arrogance in his heart, put away his body, and shot suddenly like a spring.

Lowry was surprised for a moment, subconsciously took a step forward, and reached out to make a standard defensive posture.

Ross flipped his wrist lightly, and the basketball flew from his fingertips.

"Yes!" As soon as he took the shot, Rose felt that the shot was very stable this time, and the feeling of the shot was also very good, and the flying line of the basketball was very straight. From this angle, it looked like it was facing the basket.

However.
The basketball rubbed against the net under the rim and flew out of the baseline. Several big men under the rim held each other's arms and looked up at the rim, only to find that the basketball flew out of the baseline.

Three do not stick.
Rose's face darkened and he frowned.

Zheng Ke looked at Rose in surprise. Just now, Rose's hand shape was very beautiful, and the arc of his shot looked very reasonable. He thought he was going to go in, but he didn't expect to throw a three-point shot.But immediately he realized that he had to go to the baseline to serve.

Zheng Kepidianpidian ran over and wanted to serve, but the referee refused to give it.It turned out that Rose's shot was considered an out-of-bounds ball, and it was also a dead ball. The referee had to hand the ball to the player, unlike after a goal, the Timberwolves players could directly pick up the basketball and serve.

Therefore, Zheng Ke had to wait patiently on the outside for the referee to make preparations, and then solemnly sent the ball to him.

"Crap!"

With a good opportunity to attack, Zheng Ke passed the ball to Lowry, feeling a great pity in his heart.

Here, after Lowry got the ball, he pouted his fat little butt and ran to the frontcourt quickly.He has been with the Timberwolves for three years, and he has developed the habit of advancing quickly. The Timberwolves' offensive rhythm has always been very fast. Sometimes, the rapid advancement can bring the opponent into the rhythm of the Timberwolves and win easily.

But the Bulls are obviously not such a team. Under Rose's control, the Bulls have become the slowest offensive team in the league, but he is such a fast and explosive player.

Therefore, in the game against the Bulls, the Timberwolves rarely had a chance to break fast, and the offensive round speed of the two teams also slowed down.The extremely slow offensive rounds led to the small point difference between the two teams. Even when Zheng Keyou was about to explode, the Bulls always spent about 20 seconds, so how to keep him in a hot state.

It wasn't until the main players played and finished the second quarter that the two teams scored a total of 79 points, of which the Timberwolves had 40 points and the Bulls only had 39 points.

The Target Center rarely had such low-scoring games, and people who were used to the thunderous attacks of the forest were not used to it, and at the same time felt a little bored.

Boredom is used to describe this great game, which shows how accurate the iron law that defensive teams don't win the box office is.

The suspense of the outcome of the game naturally moved to the second half of the game, and both teams had the idea of ​​a showdown in the third quarter.

It was the Bulls who broke out at first. After continuous pick-and-rolls, Rose made a single-block cover shot and hit two long-range two-pointers. Then he broke through and gave Korver who was 45 degrees from the three-point line. three points.

一波7比0的小高潮，让公牛瞬间46比40领先到了6分的分差。

Seeing that the situation was not good, Thibodeau quickly requested a timeout.There are too many timeouts like the NBA, so obviously there is only 48 minutes of game time, plus various timeouts, commercial time, and rest time, it can be extended to an average of two and a half hours of game time, but fans still don’t think the time is too much. Long, in order to watch the game, no matter how many pauses and advertisements, I can bear it.

The Timberwolves were only attacked by the Bulls first and lost the opportunity. Zheng Ke came back from the timeout and relied on Love's wide-body pick-and-roll, went to the bottom line, and returned the color with a drifting pull-up jumper, attracting substitute players and the audience They all applauded.
