one-handed ball

Chapter 164
Adelman frowned. McGrady's several shots were not in his tactical arrangement, but then his brows relaxed. The timing of McGrady's shots was very good, and From his experience, McGrady is in a pretty good state today. The most important thing is that because of McGrady's "unexpected explosion", the Rockets are now leading the Timberwolves by a big score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led by 38 points 25 to 13!
Scored 38 points on the Timberwolves in a single quarter!This is not something that ordinary teams can do.This season, although the Timberwolves have been criticized for their internal strength, their excellent point guard lineup and complete wing players have guaranteed the Timberwolves' strong perimeter defense. The Timberwolves are one of the best three-point defense teams this season.

Everyone thought it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, including Drexler, who was optimistic about the Rockets' victory before the game, and he didn't think the Rockets could kill the Timberwolves in one quarter.

Zheng Ke returned to the bench with an ugly face. He never thought that the Yao-Mai combination, which has been criticized all the time, would one day exert strength on his head, let alone that the two of them could score 25 points together in one quarter!
Zheng Ke clenched his fists and cursed angrily, "Damn guy."

"Damn guy!" A swear word suddenly came out of Whitman's mouth. Zheng Ke looked up at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would go with the coach himself.

Whitman looked at No. 96 who was rampaging on the field now, his eyes were red.He murmured: "Is this the strength of the Rockets? Is this the tactics of the Rockets?"

"Yao Ming first focused on the inside, and after blasting Anderson, the Timberwolves were forced to shrink their defense. Then the outside line played, McGrady and Yao Ming took over and broke out, and the score was opened in an instant. When he came off the bench in this quarter, let Artest add the last one. Fire, put more pressure on the opponent."

The more Whitman looked, the more chilling he became. He didn't expect this humble old man to be so powerful. No wonder he was able to lead the king to challenge the OK combination at his peak. Compared with him, there was really a gap between him and him.Whitman smiled self-deprecatingly, his face full of helplessness.

At the peak of Artest’s integrity in 08, Zheng Ke looked at his ability value, with an offensive score of 80, a defensive score of 89, a rebound score of 82, and an overall score of 86. Comments: This is a typical flank tank , no one can easily break through in front of him, he has the most vigorous fighting spirit.

Poor ability value.Zheng Ke was unable to complain, this ability value can be the boss of some low-level teams, and Artest is willing to be the third or second leader in the Rockets.But when Zheng Ke remembered that Artest would go to the Lakers next year to be his fourth and fifth masters, he was relieved. This is not the first day this stupid man is doing things.

Zheng Ke looked more and more worried off the court. Brewer, who played in his place, usually couldn't see it, but when he met a gravity-level player like Artest, his defense instantly turned into scum. Artest Continuously crushing Brewer into the inside, although the hit rate was not high, but the damage caused was particularly large. After a while, Smith fouled three times, and the point difference was further widened.

"Coach, let me go. If this continues, we won't have to play in the second half." Zheng Ke shook the towel on his head and said.

"Yeah, coach, I can continue to play." It was Billups who echoed Zheng Ke. Apart from Zheng Ke, his words were the most important here, and Whitman often listened to his opinions.

Whitman no longer hesitated, he nodded. Although only 4 minutes passed in the second quarter, the Rockets had already led 51 to 33 by 18 points.There is no way under special circumstances. The Timberwolves can only hurry up and fight again. If it doesn't work, they won't have to play the main force in the second half.

"Drip~ The Timberwolves request a substitution." The live DJ reported in real time.

"Zheng and Billups played together?" Drexler's tone was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Timberwolves have switched to a husband and wife team. They are ready to fight to the death. If the hole is too big in the first half, I am afraid that the Timberwolves will not be able to win in the second half." Barkley explained for the Timberwolves.

Zheng Ke signaled Brewer to leave the field, and then he stood next to Artest. He pursed his mouth and did not speak, with an extremely serious expression.

"Don't be so rigid, Zheng, take it easy, you're all going to lose this game anyway." Artest spread his shoulders, and with a rapping tone, he spat out trash talk.

Zheng Ke didn't bother to pay attention to him, he thought he was listening to rock songs. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he really couldn't understand what Artest was saying.

Timberwolves' current lineup: Billups, Randy Foye, Zheng Ke, Smith, Channing Frye.

The Rockets' current lineup: Hyde, Weaver, Artest, Landry, Hayes.

After Billups and Zheng Ke played together, the first effect appeared. The Timberwolves generals who were a little flustered on the field calmed down immediately. They seemed to be relieved, and their movements became much smoother. There is no original stiffness.

Artest kept making small moves and did everything he could to defend Zheng Ke. The big hand on Zheng Ke's waist repeatedly made troubles, making Zheng Ke frown.It's not that he despises Artest. After all, every player in the NBA has his own style of play. Some players just like to disturb their opponents with small moves, which has almost become their survival instinct.

Zheng Kedou came out, and received the ball from Billups at 60 degrees from the three-point line. The moment he received the ball, he exerted force with one foot and directly rose from the ground, and the whole person jumped high into the air.

McGrady's hazy eyes suddenly lit up off the field, Zheng Ke's pull was quite difficult.

"Shuh!"

Three point hit!

51:36.

There was a patter of applause at the scene, this is the Chinese fans who came to cheer for Zheng Ke.

"Shuh!"

Billups hit a three-pointer!

53:39.

"Shuh!"

Zheng Ke made another three-pointer!

53:42.

"Oh, my God. Zheng Ke hit a three-pointer again! The Timberwolves hit three consecutive three-pointers in less than 2 minutes. Is this the head coach Randy (Whitman) A tactic? The effect is clearly that!"

The three old guys exclaimed again and again. The most breathtaking scene in the NBA is the continuous scoring. Many people like the NBA because they like their fast-paced offense and continuous scoring.

Adelman didn't call a timeout. He felt that the initiative was still on the Rockets' side. He turned his head and looked at the starters on the bench, feeling a little more at ease in his heart.

But in the blink of an eye, he regretted it. Zheng Ke rushed to the frontcourt, one step away from the three-point line, and the basketball was hollowed into the frame like a demon! 53 to 45!

Adelman couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up from the stool, went to the referee and made a pause gesture, and he requested a timeout.

"Damn it!" Zheng Ke frightened Whitman's little heart when he pulled out one step away from the three-point line, and he also went crazy when the basketball obediently fell into the basket. Like a football coach in his hometown, he jumped up from the stool all at once.Then he remembered something, put on a majestic look, and clapped gracefully.But he didn't see it. The camera on the side had already captured the picture of him jumping up. After the game, some media gave Whitman a nickname: "Coach Antelope."

Adelman was really mad. He knew that No. 17 was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect to be so abnormal. He chased the 18-point difference to only 8 points in an instant. Did he think he was Tracy McGrady?Adelman complained in his heart.Thinking of McGrady, he turned his head and looked at the bench. McGrady was staring at him in a daze. When he turned his head, the eyes of the two exchanged instantly.

"Tracey, I think it's time to defend your territory." Adelman also made a move, and he went all out: "Yao, you also play, this leading advantage must be maintained until the end of the first half , Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

In the NBA, seeing a trick and dismantling it means that a coach can reach the standard of excellence; seeing a trick but failing to dismantle it is the performance of an unqualified coach; not seeing a trick but dismantling it first is the skill of a top coach.

Adelman's response was a little slower. The Rockets' lead was only 8 points, which is not a safe lead in the NBA. The Rockets are evenly matched.

At halftime, the Rockets led the Timberwolves by 64 points 55 to 9.At this time, Yao Ming had scored 22 points and 4 rebounds, and he was named the best player in the half.

Sister Miller swayed, raised the microphone with difficulty, and interviewed Yao Ming as the best player in the half.

"You feel hot today. You scored 22 points at halftime. Did you practice more before the game?"

Yao Ming lowered his head and said with a smile: "Yeah, yes, I feel very hot today, and I made a lot of shots. Before the game, I practiced a few more sets of strength training, and I also made full preparations before the game, so I shot it. very stable."

"Okay, second question," Sister Miller asked: "You once led by nearly 20 points, but now you only have a 9-point lead. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yao Ming thought that he really asked this question. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, the Timberwolves are a team with a strong will. ZK played an eye-catching performance. He made a lot of three-pointers, and we lost a lot of them because of this. leading edge."

"Thank you for your answer."

"You're welcome."

Yao Ming lowered his head and walked into the locker room
