Chapter 133 Four Wins and Three Losses
"The opening game of the NBA started hotly. The three teams sitting at home defeated their opponents respectively. First, the Celtics defeated the visiting Cavaliers 90-85. Paul Pierce scored a game-high 27 points; then the Bulls With a 108-95 victory over the Bucks, the No. 11 pick performed well in his first show, scoring 9 points and 4 assists. Yi Jianlian hit 22 three-pointers and scored 29 points; in the last big game, the Los Angeles Lakers beat Minnesota The Timberwolves fell off the horse. Although the Chinese player Zheng Ke scored a game-high [-] points, he was helplessly defeated by the Lakers and played better."

"Let's enjoy the five best shots on the first day!"

"The fifth ball, come and go is not indecent, the teenager Zheng Ke responded to the black mamba with this wonderful breakthrough dunk, and told him what it means to "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead"!"

Although the domestic media praised and affirmed the two Chinese players who both scored 20+ on the first day of the game, the critical American media did not see it that way.The Timberwolves challenged the Lakers in an away game, and they were firmly suppressed by the Lakers throughout the game. According to statistics, the Timberwolves trailed from the beginning to the end of the game, and never led their opponents once.Doesn't this show the weakness and vulnerability of the Timberwolves?

The media began to sing praises for the Lakers with extensive reports, and at the same time criticized the Timberwolves management who traded the main player in the summer. The word they used was exactly "if".If Jefferson is still in the Timberwolves, then the inside line formed by him and Love will not allow Bynum or Gasol to give. If Jefferson is still in the Timberwolves, then the Lakers will not be able to rebound. So much ahead of the Timberwolves, if
There are even small reports questioning Zheng Ke's leadership ability.They believe that Zheng Ke in the summer was just a temporary explosion. He is an overrated player and his performance is not worthy of his core position. The Timberwolves should re-examine this situation and not be blinded by the player's temporary outbreak.

But just after these comments came out.

Zheng Ke immediately led the Timberwolves to a jaw-dropping three-game winning streak. With these three wins and one loss, the Timberwolves ranked fourth in the West, which is really surprising.

First of all, the Timberwolves defeated the Kings who were short of major generals 98 to 92 at home. Zheng Ke played an invincible role in this game, scoring 33 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.After this game, people were surprised to find that the No.1 scoring list in the NBA was occupied by a non-local player for the first time, and Zheng Ke ranked first in the scoring list with an average of 31 points per game.
Then there was a bloody battle with the visiting Mavericks at home. In the end, with Billups' key three-pointer 30 seconds before the end of the game, the Timberwolves narrowly won by 2 points. In this campaign, Billups scored a game-high 21 points and With 8 assists, the matchup against Kidd did not fall behind at all.

Then in Oklahoma, Zheng Ke and Durant staged a wonderful matchup.Durant used one summer to practice his most terrifying weapon-the three-pointer. Taking advantage of the feeling that had not dissipated, Durant scored 35 points on Zheng Ke's head!However, Zheng Ke also performed well. Jeff Green could not limit the comprehensive Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple double.In addition, Love saw his alumni Westbrook, and he was extremely excited. He scored 12 points and 15 rebounds, just like what Whitman said to the media after the game: "As a rookie, he Played great! He's the future of the Timberwolves inside."

One week into the game, Zheng Ke was nominated for the official Western Weekly Best of the Week for the first time in his career.However, when the whole Timberwolves team was immersed in the joy of winning streak, the sophistication of the Spurs taught the Timberwolves a lesson.

Thursday, November [-]th.

The Spurs challenged the Minnesota Timberwolves away.Although the temperature in the Minnesota area dropped and the weather became cooler, the Spurs team felt hot, especially Tony Parker, a small sports car. He scored a game-high 36 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, which made Billups look angry. Very ugly.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Timberwolves 116 to 109. Duncan crushed Kevin Love with 30 points and 16 rebounds. It won't be decided until the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves ranked ninth in the West with 3 wins and 2 losses.

Then the Timberwolves met the Kings again, this time in Sacramento, home of the Kings.The core of the Kings is still the thin pitcher Kevin Martin, so Zheng Ke volunteered to defend Kevin Martin, and Whitman would play.

So in Sacramento, the fans of the Kings were surprised to find that Kevin Martin, the team's leading scorer, had completely disappeared from the game.At the end of the game, Martin only took 6 shots and scored 9 points, so the King lost the game once.

Fans are beginning to miss the days of the Beast. If Artest was still there, he wouldn't let that annoying No. 17 show off at all!

It should be said that the Timberwolves' performance exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, the performance of the Timberwolves is really not worth mentioning. Compared with the Timberwolves, who are not at the same level, the Rockets, which have not lost at this time, are even more exciting. After Artest came, the Rockets played. The best start in history, rushed to the No. [-] position in the Western Conference in one fell swoop, even the Lakers who dominated last season can only come in second. The "giant style" is also starting to really catch on in the NBA.

On November [-], the Timberwolves played against the Trail Blazers back to back.

Like the Timberwolves, the Trail Blazers, which are all young players, are on the right track. The core Roy is maturing day by day, and Aldridge can also stand alone inside. Si and others have grown up, and the vitality of the Blazers is venting to the entire NBA.

Among the players in the Timberwolves, only Love is not used to this back-to-back. Other players, such as Lowry, Foye, etc., although they are not very old, have all played in the NBA. Their respective physical strength distribution is still Pretty even.Of course, they are not punch-to-the-flesh insiders, which is one of the reasons why their physical strength has been preserved.So although it is back-to-back, but at the beginning of the season, the physical reserves are still abundant, and there is no shortage of physical strength.

So this game became a fight between dragons and tigers.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves turned against the guests. With the two three-pointers of former Trail Blazers player Channing Frye, the Timberwolves led the Trail Blazers by 24 points 18 to 6.In the second quarter, the two sides came off the bench. Lowry performed well, and Fernandez on the Trail Blazers side was not to be outdone.

Maybe it was what the Trail Blazers coach said to the Trail Blazers players. As soon as the third quarter came up, the Blazers played very aggressively. A 9-0 spurt directly overtook the Timberwolves by 3 points.At a critical moment, Timberwolves star Zheng Ke stepped forward. He first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then broke through and caused Aldridge to foul. After Roy made a dribble error, Zheng Ke rushed to the frontcourt and faced Batum. He scored the ball and brought the score back in one fell swoop.

At the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, Roy and Zheng Ke became the protagonists on the field.However, amidst the cheers of the home fans, Roy was still slightly better. Two mid-range shots at the critical moment opened the score, and the Timberwolves narrowly lost to Portland. points, and also contributed 19 steals and 12 blocks, showing bravery
After losing to the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves' record fell to tenth in the Western Conference. Although they have the same record as the Trail Blazers, who made the Timberwolves just lose to others, so they can only be ranked behind the Trail Blazers.

In the two weeks since the start of the game, the best of the week in the East and West has been awarded twice, and Zheng Ke has a place in the list of major statistics that fans are most concerned about.

First of all, on the scoring list, Zheng Ke spent the first two days of the season as the scoring champion for two days. Now after so many games, his score has also dropped, ranking tenth with an average of 22.3 points per game. .Then in the rebound list, Zheng Ke ranked No. 8.3th with an average of 20 per game, and ranked No. 5.1 with 20 assists. The most surprising thing is that Zheng Ke ranked No. 2.3 with an average of 1.7 per game. Steals temporarily ranked third in the steal list, and ranked tenth in the block list with an average of [-] blocks per game.

Although the season has just started, all kinds of data are suspected of breaking out, but Zheng Ke can enter the top [-] gates for every data, which can be said to be comprehensive to the extreme. In addition, the team's record has exceeded the prediction before the start of the season. The media praised Zheng Ke's performance.

Everyone thinks the Timberwolves made the right decision
(PS: Parker should have scored a career-high 55 points in that game, and the Spurs and Timberwolves also played two overtimes, but the plot required, and now Billups is defending, scoring 55 points It’s a bit unscientific, don’t you think?)
