one-handed ball

Chapter 379

When Zheng Ke first entered the league, no one would compare him with James, but now both of them are called "League No.1". This summer, ESPN will evaluate the strength of more than 400 players in the league. Whoever can be crowned the champion will be able to ascend to the No.1 throne in the summer.

On the evening of May 5st, US time, Target Center.

The referee took the lead on the field with Spalding's basketball in hand.The Timberwolves players dressed up, and then began to say hello to the players of tonight's opponent, the Heat, as usual.

James and Zheng Ke hugged before the game. Even though they were very afraid of each other as opponents, the two smart people still showed a generous look in front of the public.

The words were full of gunpowder.

Zheng Ke said: "I heard that you have already bought the boat tickets, which means are you ready to go home and go fishing?"

James responded: "Tonight we come with the belief that we must win, and the flag of the Heat's victory will definitely be planted over the target center!"

"Hmph!" Zheng Ke snorted secretly, boasting shamelessly.

After saying hello, the starting players of both sides stood at the middle circle of the court.The Timberwolves have Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love and Jordan in the regular lineup, while the Heat have sent Mike Bibby, Wade, James, Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony. .

Zheng Ke touched the O'Brien cup embroidered label on his chest, feeling a little excited.

This is true of Zheng Ke, not to mention other players.Most of the Timberwolves' players are followers of Zheng Ke who won the championship in 09, like Billups and Love are quite calm.Among the Heat teams, many entered the finals for the first time, such as Bosh and Joel Anthony.

After communicating with the staff, the referee looked at his watch, and then signaled to the players on both sides that he was about to kick off.

With a whistle, the basketball is thrown into the air!

Little Jordan yelled loudly, his feet seemed to be loaded with springs, and he flew into the air with a "snap". Half of his arms were beyond Anthony, and he was the first to touch the basketball easily, and then moved his fingers to make the basketball fall. Fly back to the Timberwolves' side.

Love steadied the basketball, then passed the ball to Billups behind him without looking at the crotch.

There was applause in the target center, and Jordan won the jump ball, giving the Timberwolves the first wave of offensive opportunities.Under the rhythmic command of the on-site DJ, nearly [-] spectators shouted in unison, "Attack, attack" The scene is magnificent and the momentum is amazing.

The Heat's three-two defense, vacating two bottom corners, strengthened the overall defensive connection.

Zheng Ke provided a screen for Billups who was holding the ball from the outside. After the pick-and-roll was over, he made an air cut. Passing Love's screen, he easily got an open opportunity.

Billups hangs in the air, Zheng Ke catches the basketball in the air, and fills the basket with both hands. 2 to 0.

The opening was an exciting alley-oop, the momentum of the Timberwolves was completely opened up, and the audience immediately responded with the most enthusiastic cheers.

Zheng Ke stretched out his finger, and Yaoyao pointed to Billups, indicating that he passed the ball well.

Offensive and defensive rotation, the Heat attack with the ball.

James received Bibby's pass and confronted Zheng Ke at the top of the arc. Zheng Ke lowered his center of gravity, put one hand on James' waist, and stood with his feet spread apart. The defense was very tight.

The two talked directly, and the audience clamored.

"I like to see such a scene!" Barkley's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly.

It's a pity that James didn't intend to fight Zheng Ke one-on-one. He waved for Bosh to come up and set him a pick-and-roll.Zheng Ke watched someone come over to do the pick-and-roll, and he was prepared to take a step forward and get closer to James.The two were close together, and James was shocked by the strength rebounded from Zheng Ke's body, feeling particularly uncomfortable.

After Bosh's pick-and-roll failed, James broke through with the ball, dribbled with his left hand, and then changed direction in front of his body to his right hand. After opening a little space with Zheng Ke, he dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, and then changed his body direction. With a wrong footstep, he broke through to Zheng Ke's left side.

"It really is a freak!" Zheng Ke thought to himself, such a tall man has such an excellent ability to control the ball.

James and Zheng Ke went to the basket during the confrontation. After two steps, Zheng Ke was still blocking him like a wall. The bulldozer, which was always invincible in the past, encountered a house made of special materials today, and could not push it in at all.He stopped abruptly, half turned around, handed over the ball to his right hand, and when he broke through to the right, handed it over to Wade who was brushing shoulders with him.

Wade catches the ball and takes a big step, avoiding Efflalo's defensive space, and makes a mid-range jumper.

The shooting angle is a bit skewed, and the basketball bounces off the edge.Four people under the basket competed for the rebound, and Jr. Jordan stuck with Joel Anthony, stretched out his long arms, and easily grabbed it.

The Timberwolves' first wave of defense was successful, and the fans on the scene burst into cheers.

Thibodeau is also very happy, but he is more calm than others.After all, the Heat are a team composed of the Big Three, and they must have their strengths in reaching the finals. Just now, James had no hope of breaking through and handed it over to Wade. It's just that Wade didn't make it.Superstars get together, but as long as two of them play well, the Timberwolves will be very difficult to deal with.

The Timberwolves attacked and Zheng Ke received the ball in a low position.

The Heat are also very confident in James' defense, and no one else came to double-team.The Timberwolves players opened up the space and left a half-court position to give them two heads-ups.

Seeing such a scene, the adrenaline of the fans began to soar.

"Post-up singles, can you?" Zheng Ke held the basketball with one hand and leaned against James.And James put his arm on Zheng Ke's waist, not daring to be careless.However, Zheng Ke's words went straight to the bottom of his heart. He has entered the seventh year of his career. Although he is improving every year, this low-post offense is indeed not his specialty.

Zheng Keyun moved, his feet gripped the ground, his back muscles tensed, and he leaned back.

"boom!"

The rock-hard muscles of the two collided, and there was a heart-pounding clanging sound.

"boom!"

Zheng Ke bumped again, and the strength of the rebound also made him extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't find a suitable point to make a shot.However, after several seasons of polishing, his post-up singles has improved a lot. It is no longer as stiff and simple as it was when he used it just now. After stopping, he hugged the basketball with both hands, his shoulders shook for a while, then As the axis, the left foot stepped out and kicked the ground, and the body floated backwards substantially.

People are floating in the air, and the ball is flying in the sky.

James defended very tightly. He was not knocked away by Zheng Ke, and he responded defensively at the first time, and then rushed towards Zheng Ke, covering Zheng Ke's eyes with his big hand.

Zheng Ke has honed this point tens of thousands of times, and even if his eyes are covered, he still throws it calmly.

Hit! 4 to 0.

Zheng Ke retreated back to the defense, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and looked helpless.

The Heat attacked, James made a pick and roll for Bibby, and after Bibby broke through, he handed it to Wade on the outside.Wade pauses to make a shot fake, then explodes in one step, passing Afflalo in an instant.His speed is very fast. Although Afflalo has excellent defensive ability, there is no good way to face such a strong attack.

Wade went inside, evaded Jordan's defense in the air, and hit a layup with a rebound. 4 to 2.

Barkley laughed: "If the Heat keep playing like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to beat the Timberwolves."

Smith nodded and said yes, "The Timberwolves' defense in the penalty area has always been underestimated. Love can resist and Jordan can jump. The two of them form a perfect mutual assistance. If the Heat always think about attacking inside, I am afraid it is not an excellent tactic. Strategy."

Zheng Ke took the ball, and Love made a pick-and-roll for him in a high position.

With Love's excellent cover, Zheng Ke got away from James. Bosh gave up Love and came over to attack Zheng Ke with James. After two steps, Zheng Ke passed back to Love who was open on the outside.

Love made a three-pointer, and the basketball bounced off the inner edge.

The arc of this rebound is very high. Zheng Ke was blocked by Bosh and James and could not grab this rebound. However, Jordan under the basket relied on his height, wingspan and bounce, from behind Joel Anthony, that is, He grabbed the rebound deeply in his head.

Jordan got back up and made a tip-up. 6 to 2.

After Jordan arrived in the Timberwolves, he became a representative of the sudden emergence. His rapid progress even squeezed out the Timberwolves' starting center Pekovic last season and became Minnesota's new favorite.The most impressive thing about him is the big volleyball hat that covers the sky and the empty slam dunks he gets from time to time. His long arms and inhuman jumping allow him to accomplish many things that the insiders can't do at all.

This year is also his first time playing in the finals, but he doesn't look particularly nervous.

As far as he's concerned, the worst thing is that the six offenders leave the field.
