one-handed ball

Chapter 26 fierce battle
The Timberwolves requested a timeout.

Whitman frowned, it was difficult to deal with that, Harris' breakthrough was too sharp, no one expected that he would be the sharpest sharp knife of the Mavericks at the beginning of the game, not the head star Novus base.

The Mavericks' change caught the Timberwolves by surprise. After thinking about it, Whitman sent Gosman to play small forward and asked Zheng Ke to defend Harris alone.Because the Mavericks' shooting guard is Terry, who is only 1 meters tall, and Telfair's height of 88 meters is not too disadvantageous, so Telfair still dominates the offense, and Zheng Ke defends Harry when defending. s.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

Harris was surprised to find that the Timberwolves team had changed. The small man just now was gone, and now a big man with yellow skin was replaced. Judging by his height, he should be a player on the front line.

Of course, Harris will not be anyone with Xiao Qiao. In fact, the performance of this rookie has attracted too much attention. Among this year's rookies, he is the only player who has reached the top ten rookies from the second round.

Now Zheng Ke has been baptized in so many games, and he no longer has the nervousness and other emotions at the beginning. He is good at good things, and trash talk has become his regular weapon.

Just now when he faced Harris, Zheng Ke immediately blurted out a trash talk: "In the next game, I will prevent you from getting in!"

Harris didn't expect this rookie to be so arrogant and dare to provoke him. Didn't he see his brave performance just now?Harris naturally couldn't let a rookie ride on his head, he immediately replied: "I promise you will be killed by me suddenly!"

As soon as the words fell, Harris stepped out with his right foot like lightning, trying to force Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke had long been guarding against his sudden sneak attack, so he quickly moved in small steps to block in front of Harris, and at the same time stretched out two long arms to interfere with Harris' sight.

Harris found that his invincible first step had failed. After a quick crotch, he returned the ball to his left hand and prepared to pass the ball first.

When Zheng Ke saw that Harris had stopped, he quickly bullied him and put pressure on Harris with his strength, which was obviously [-]% higher than that of Harris.

Harris did not expect Zheng Ke, a rookie, to be so unconventional. He had just observed his teammates moving, and he was surrounded by Zheng Ke like a hen protecting a chick.He didn't dare to dribble any more, he turned his back to Zheng Ke, and stopped the basketball with both hands.

"Look!" Barkley smiled smugly when he saw this scene: "Our defensive leader, China Zheng, defended against the Mavericks' sharp knife!"

Smith was secretly ashamed of Barkley's morality, thinking that when they first commented on Zheng Ke's game, Barkley was very unfavorable to Zheng Ke. I changed my opinion!

On the court, Zheng Ke was still sticking close to Harris conscientiously. Harris passed the ball to Terry who came to meet him. Terry took two steps with his left hand and then chose a three-point jumper.

The basketball hit the iron, and the rebound was picked up by Gosman who entered the inside to play soy sauce.

Fast attack!

After Gosman grabbed the ball with one hand, he threw the ball forward in a standard discus throwing posture.Everyone was shocked by Gosman's posture, and also by his exaggerated long pass.

Who's up front?

Zheng Ke was galloping up the front court. Zheng Ke didn't wait for the rebound to be grabbed by the Timberwolves before rushing forward. He sneaked forward when he saw Terry throw the ball.

Gossman and Zheng Ke had a good understanding. Zheng Ke received Gosman's long pass from within the free throw line. At this time, Harris, who was closest to him, was three meters away. He completed a one-handed split without any pressure. buckle.

The Timberwolves played long passes, fast breaks and dunks, which immediately improved the morale of the team.

In the transition between offense and defense, Harris did not dare to break through casually anymore. He made tactical gestures, and the Mavericks quickly moved in turn.Nowitzki set an off-ball screen for Terry near the free throw line. Terry ran back and got the ball at the three-point line, but Telfair was small and nimble, and he easily bypassed Nowitzki's screen. Keeping up with Terry from beyond the arc.Terry was about to make a shot, but he didn't see any good chances. In addition, he just made a missed shot, so he quickly "sensibly" passed the ball to Nowitzki, who was already near the baseline.The time for the Mavericks' attack was approaching, and Nowitzki had no choice but to throw the ball against Jefferson's defense.

The ball was a little weaker, and its direction was a little bit skewed to the right. It hit the front of the basket and flew straight towards Zheng Ke.Zheng Ke was lucky enough to pick up this bounced ball.

Before thinking too much, he dribbled the ball forward with all his strength, and the Mavericks had no players at the top of the arc, and the only one keeping up with Zheng Ke was Harris.

Harris wants to break Zheng Ke's ball, but Zheng Ke's dribbling is not bad, especially his long arm puts the ball on the side where he can protect the ball.

Zheng Ke wanted to squeeze Zheng Ke so that he could not rush up. Unexpectedly, although Zheng Ke looked thin, he had a lot of strength. Compared with this aggressive-looking big guy who had already started running, Harris' physique was even stronger. It's a bit smaller, so we can see Zheng Ke running all the way, rushing to the basket at unabated speed.

The Mavericks requested a timeout.

"The Timberwolves played two fast breaks in a row. The attackers of the two fast breaks were Zheng Zheng from China, who was considered to be the top defensive player in the NBA in the future." Barkley explained.

Smith was very dissatisfied with Barkley's overly biased commentary. He took Barkley's words and said: "Although the Timberwolves seized two opportunities and fought back, the initiative of the game is still in the hands of the Mavericks."

He paused, and continued: "The Mavericks' three-pointers haven't opened yet. Nowitzki, Josh Howard, and Terry haven't fired their three-pointers. The Timberwolves will be really tested when the Mavericks' three-pointers are fired. .”

Zheng Ke himself was quite satisfied with his performance just now, but he knew it was just an accident. The Mavericks would definitely make arrangements and be more vigilant. He couldn't have fast breaks every time, nor could he succeed every time.

After the timeout ended, the Mavericks played more cautiously.

Zheng Ke felt that every time the Mavericks attacked, everyone would subconsciously take a look at where they were.Maybe he felt wrong, but whenever he was the first to run to the front court, the Mavericks followed at least three people, and the Mavericks' retreat speed more than doubled.

The game was deadlocked. At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks only led by two points 26 to 24.
