Chapter 352 Records
This year's NBA playoffs are scheduled for April [-], so the Timberwolves have only seven regular season games in April.

Before entering April, the Timberwolves had a record of 69 wins and 6 losses.

This record has surpassed the performance of any team in the history of the NBA in the same period. As long as the Timberwolves win three more games, they can tie the best record of Jordan Bulls; The number of games can surpass the record of the Jordan Bulls.

It was a shocking moment for Minnesotans, and the world.

The commercial brands that Zheng Ke participated in all made a lot of money.Data show that in the entire North American basketball shoe sales market in March, Adidas surpassed Nike by 0.7 percentage points.

As a giant in the basketball shoe industry, Nike has occupied the largest market share since the Jordan era.But now this point has been shaken because of Zheng Ke.The report caused an uproar.Although Nike's CEO has repeatedly emphasized that Nike is currently in a period of strategic adjustment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nike has panicked.

Schwartz told Zheng Ke that Nike had contacted him frequently during this period, hoping to have a more in-depth discussion about Zheng Ke's next sneaker contract.

To put it bluntly, Nike wants to poach people, poach people from their old rival Adidas, and it is unprecedented when Zheng Ke's sneaker contract expires in two years.

On April 4, the Timberwolves faced the Miami Big Three challenge at home.

The Heat team under Marshal Spoelstra is exactly the same as the Timberwolves.Both are the strongest defensive and counterattack teams in the league. They each have the two strongest athletes in the league. When they act as arrows, they are equally unstoppable.The Timberwolves are much better defensively than the Heat, whether they are the main force or the substitute.The inside lineup composed of Love and Jordan (finally starting at the end of the season) can both attack and defend. Unlike Pekovic, Jordan has excellent defensive ability and has a strong rebounding ability.

And Pekovic, who was delegated to the bench, is a duck to water in the pick-and-roll with Lowry by virtue of his tonnage and size.

James, Wade and Bosh really quickly formed a very good lineup.However, it is difficult for the Heat to make up for the vacancies of a large number of excellent role players let go in order to gather the Big Three. Like their point guard, they are often replaced. Dampier, who is still big, is simply two extremes compared with the Timberwolves' long-term business model.

The two teams were still playing evenly at halftime, with the Timberwolves leading by 52 point 51 to 1.

The third quarter became a quarter for the Timberwolves to pull points. The Timberwolves scored 34 points in the entire third quarter, and Zheng Ke scored 17 points alone.The Heat only scored 20 points in this quarter, and the Big Three scored a total of 16 points in this quarter, just 1 point less than Zheng Ke himself.

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves continued to expand their lead. Billups and Brewer hit three-pointers one after another. Jordan Jr. in the inside line bounced well with his height and wingspan, and he was overwhelming.After Wade broke through dunks succeeded, but it can be described as a drop in the bucket, to no avail.Zheng Ke picked up the basket and scored 4 points in a row, and Love scored three shots from the outside. The Timberwolves finally defeated the Heat by 111 to 92 points, and unexpectedly took away the Heat.

The contrast between the Heat and the Bulls and the Timberwolves' performance is surprising. At the same time, people began to question the Heat's inside rebounding ability and defensive strength.Like this game, Love and Jordan scored a total of 27 rebounds, while Bosh and Dampier added up to only 6 rebounds. The Heat's rebounding team turned out to be Wade. The tall man rushed to grab the rebound before barely protecting it.Not to mention the strength of the inside defense, Zheng Ke's easy dunks or layups after many breakthroughs are the best evidence.

The Timberwolves won the Heat and also won their 70th win, getting closer and closer to the record.

Things in the sports world even alarmed the US government. The mayor of Minneapolis attended the scene of the Timberwolves' 71 wins at this time - the sniper from the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies Twin Towers have made a bloody way for them this season. It is amazing that such a competitive place in the West can still be ranked 8th.

In the team, the combination of Conley, Tony Allen, Rudy Gay, Randolph and Marc Gasol can be called both offensive and defensive.There is no shortage of titans like Mayo on the bench.

The game, held at Target Center on April 4, drew huge attention.

In the end, the Timberwolves won 106 to 89. After Zheng Ke scored 39 points in the previous game, he scored 38 points in this game. He did not reach 40 points, just because he sat in the last half of the last quarter. On the bench, if you want to score more than 50 points, it is easy.

Many media sang praises for the Timberwolves, thinking that it was only a matter of time before the Timberwolves broke the record.After hearing this kind of nonsense, everyone laughed it off. There are 5 games left, unless the Timberwolves lose 5 consecutive games, otherwise the tie record is a certainty.But let the Timberwolves lose 5 games in a row this season, unless they are collectively poisoned.

So amidst the curses of the Nets fans praying for the collective poisoning of the Timberwolves teammates, the bandits came to New Jersey.

fear?worried?Or do you think the league's schedule is too cheating?

At that moment, Nets fans had mixed feelings.Why is it playing against our team at this time?Who makes the schedule?ill.
As for winning, they may have forgotten.

The fans have no confidence, and the New Jersey Nets players who are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference are even less confident.In the first quarter, they were still able to compete with the Timberwolves. From the beginning of the second quarter, they were completely at a disadvantage. Zheng Ke hit 3 goals in a row from outside the three-point line, setting off a wave of 14 to 2 climax, creating a nearly 15-point lead in one wave.

Since then, the Nets played like actors, playing dejectedly, and the Timberwolves won the 72nd victory with ease.

The Timberwolves tied the record for the best record of the season set by the Jordan Bulls more than ten years ago. Zheng Ke averaged 34.9 points per game. It would be unreasonable not to become the MVP of the regular season.

After the Timberwolves tie the record, there are still four opportunities for them to break the record.

On April 4, the Timberwolves rushed back home, ready to meet the challenge of the Suns.

Fans in New Jersey complain about the league's schedule, and so are Suns fans.The market effect caused by breaking the record is huge. Tickets to the Target Center are hard to find. In this state where most NBA teams are in a negative profit and loss state, Glenn Taylor can wake up from his dreams with a smile if there is such a market. .

Before the game, in the team locker room.

The players chatted with each other, and their faces showed unstoppable excitement.Today is an unforgettable day. The Timberwolves are very likely to create history. Just like the team that won the match point 3-0, all Timberwolves players can hardly restrain the excitement in their hearts, including Zheng Ke and Billups who have always been calm.

At this time, the system suddenly issued a prompt: All Timberwolves members entered the [excited] state, and then increased their overall ability value by two to five.

"This..." Zheng Ke was taken aback. He only saw the bull [excitement] a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be the Timberwolves' turn soon. which type.
Zheng Ke turned his head and saw that Love's ability value was already 91 (88+3), Billups 84 (82+2), Afflalo 83 (79+4), and Jordan 73 (68+5).The ability values ​​of the starting five tigers have all grown by leaps and bounds. Zheng Ke looked at the bench, and Lowry actually broke through the 80 mark. Looking around, it was all red.

Zheng Ke was filled with sadness for the Suns. He was no longer the opponent of the Timberwolves, but he encountered the Timberwolves in a [excited] state. How can this be played?
Behind a great record there will always be a mass of enemies.

Sun didn't want to lose the game like this, even though he knew in his heart that the gap between the two was not even a tiny bit.Nash, Dudley, Grant Hill, Channing Frye and Marcin Gortat.The starting five of the Suns look bleak. Although Nash is the first in the league in assists, the Suns are only No.10 in the Western Conference. Two days ago, they announced that they had theoretically lost the possibility of winning the playoff ticket. .

After the kickoff, Jordan beat Gortat by jumping.

Since Jordan served as the starting center, the Timberwolves have greatly improved in the jump ball, and they have climbed from the bottom jump ball level in the league to the top level.

The jump ball is actually not useless, it seems to be just the first wave of offensive ball rights.For example, at the current Timberwolves home court, when the Timberwolves successfully jumped the ball, the first wave of cheers immediately sounded from the energetic audience. They clapped, roared, and showed their enthusiasm in a wild state, which raised the morale of the Timberwolves players on the field. Skyrocketed.

But today the Timberwolves players are in a special state. In the [excited] state, it is already a super-level rhythm.

The first time Zheng Ke made a breakthrough, Love blocked the highest level of pick-and-roll effect, and the defensive Hill was almost staggered.After Zheng Ke made a breakthrough, facing the veteran player Channing Frye, he stopped and shot a jumper.

hit!

Simple and domineering, Channing Frye can't defend against him at all. If he wants to get closer, he is afraid of being passed, and if he wants to go far away, he will be killed immediately.

The jump shot that ignores the height difference is so accurate that it makes people helpless.

Fans are still guessing how many quarters the Timberwolves can defeat the Suns. Some say it's halftime, some say it's three quarters, but unexpectedly, the Timberwolves made a jaw-dropping score difference in only half a quarter.
