one-handed ball

Chapter 328 Battle in New York
When it comes to arrogant and domineering players in the NBA, there are definitely not a few.

For example, Gary Payton spat trash on Grant Hill in his rookie season-I passed you like crossing the road in the morning; for example, after Reggie Miller once lore the Knicks, he jumped on the scoreboard and shouted at the fans Scolding-this ball is dedicated to you sons of bitches; for example, Larry Bird said to the Sonics forward 5 seconds before the end of the game-in a moment, I will be here, lore you!
Today, Zheng Ke's phrase "I hope the Knicks can give me enough defensive pressure" has instantly become enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with these NBA Hall of Fame players.

Those who don't like him say he is too arrogant, those who like him say he is the most domineering.

All in all, the fans in New York quit. It seems that there is no player who dared to provoke them like this after Miller, although in the final analysis it was Stoudemire who provoked it.

The great director Spike Lee tweeted: "New Yorkers are never afraid of any provocation, let him come here."

Zheng Ke laughed when he heard that, he didn't want to be angry with the so-called great director, anyway, he didn't go to shoot movies, and he never knew anything about movies, he didn't know any movies made by Spike Lee.

On December 12, the Timberwolves led by Zheng Ke flew to New York to challenge the Knicks away.

People's attention to the Heat has been completely transferred to the Timberwolves, to be exact, Zheng Ke's body. The 50+ points in three consecutive games is too scary and too crazy.

For ordinary NBA players, being able to score 50+ once in their career is already a rare thing.Like Garnett, a well-deserved superstar, the highest score in his career is only 47 points, and he has not even touched the edge of 50 points. Like Duncan, he is also an undoubted Hall of Famer in the future. 50+ once, and it took overtime against the Mavericks to get it. Compared with Zheng Ke, the madness is far inferior.

In the face of a low-post and almost invincible inside line without O'Neill, it is obviously easier to score points from the outside line.

Hold the ball by yourself, attack by yourself, and Zheng Ke will never have to worry about his teammates not being able to pass the ball. With a push of his butt, his supernatural power can isolate any long-armed defender.

It is too difficult for the Knicks to stop Zheng Ke in this state.

Moreover, the head coach D'Antoni is not good at defense, and Stoudemire, who boasted about Haikou, is not like a pillar of inside defense. I really don't know where they got the courage.

"Could it be Wilson Chandler and Italian Gallinari's iron-blooded defense on the perimeter?" Jordan Jr. was extremely funny on the bus to Madison Garden, showing a rich and exaggerated expression.

"New York has been experimenting with three small forwards lately, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Landry Fields. And it's worked out pretty well. I guess they'll rotate between the three. Zheng Ke, this will make their physical exertion the most balanced." Sibodeau sat on the bus and did not forget to give the players tactical lessons, explaining the Knicks' every route in detail.

"If Gallinari plays power forward, wouldn't Kevin (Love) be overjoyed? Isn't this rebound up to you?" Zheng Ke poked Love with his elbow and teased.

"Then I must get [-] rebounds." Love laughed and said his "ambition" indifferently.

"Haha." Everyone in the bus smiled knowingly.

Madison Square Garden, the most famous basketball mecca.

Not only that, but it is also a political, artistic and cultural exchange center. In addition to the Knicks games, it is also used for other games or events throughout the year.Like Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears and even various Korean groups such as TVXQ, Girls' Generation, etc. have held concerts here.

Speaking of the concerts held at the Target Center, I am afraid that Taylor is the only one who has been supporting the scene for a long time.

Comparing the two arenas, it feels that they are not in the same rank at all.

It's no wonder fans in New York and Los Angeles are so noble. Perhaps in their eyes, places like Minnesota are simply rural towns, not worth mentioning.

But it is a pity that the strength of the two teams is far greater than what New York fans imagined.

As soon as the game started, Zheng Ke made a back pass to Love at the basket, allowing Love to easily score a close-range shot, opening the scoring for the Timberwolves.

"nice shot!"

With huge boos, Zheng Ke and Love clapped hands in celebration.

The Knicks' offensive mode is completely different from that of the Timberwolves. Stoudemire in the paint is their first point of attack.

So ball handler Raymond Felton beckoned to Stoudemire for a pick-and-roll, and then, as everyone expected, passed the ball to Stoudemire.

"Snapped!"

Zheng Ke's figure suddenly appeared.

"How is it possible, it was clearly at the bottom corner just now!" Xiao Si was taken aback, sweating profusely, and felt that he had bumped into a ghost, how could a person move so fast.

He was still thinking about ghosts, but Zheng Ke rushed to the front court in a flash.

The smoke and dust are long, murderous and provocative.

Zheng Da's fast horse is astonishingly fast. As soon as the Knicks returned to defend Felton and other talents, Zheng Ke was already a few feet away. When I saw it, it was halftime.

The fans started clamoring, wanting to interfere with Zheng Ke's attack. They obviously hated Zheng Ke, but their eyes were on his every move.

"boom!"

Zheng Ke made a simple windmill with both hands and smashed the ball into the ring.

"Hey, how about my dunk?"

Zheng Ke yelled and yelled at Spike Lee who was sitting on the sidelines, feeling as if he had some deep hatred with the great director.

The great director wore a funny hat, stood up to respond to Zheng Ke, and then made a gesture of contempt with two thumbs down.

The audience also booed deafeningly in response. They had enjoyed watching the dunk just now, but now they want to pretend to despise Zheng Ke and boo them.

"Don't be too arrogant, kid!" Xiaosi passed by Zheng Ke and spat out a trash talk like a gangster.

"If you have the guts, go and buckle one yourself!" Zheng Ke's eyes widened, like an angry King Kong, and his momentum was not at all inferior.

That's right, as a bandit leader, how can he be afraid of a little gangster?
The two teams officially launched a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

Sure enough, Stoudemire was stimulated by Zheng Ke's words. After halftime, he turned his back and asked Felton for the ball, then grabbed the basketball with both hands and placed it in a low position, turned his body around, and formed a face-to-face attack.

Zheng Ke twitched his lips, and was face-to-face again. Once he entered the league face-to-face, he would still be face-to-face at the end of his career.

The 10-11 season was Stoudemire's last season at his peak, averaging 25.3 points per game.This man, who suffered serious injuries and underwent minimally invasive surgery, once stood up again before, changed his blindly rushing straight, and replaced it with precise mid-range jumpers. His strength is also a famous inspirational story in the NBA.
This time, he wanted to use dunks to resolve the battle.

Stoudemire felt like his blood was burning. Hasn't this feeling been for a long time?I just remember the passion I had when I was playing alley-oop with that long-haired man.

Facing Love, Stoudemire made a tentative step, and then suddenly dribbled and began to break through.

Rare ball-handling skills among power forwards!
In fact, Griffin's current skills are very similar to Stoudemire's. Both of them are high-speed cutters after the pick-and-roll, and their ability to finish the basket is unparalleled.Even the ball-handling breakthrough skills and the level of mid-range jumpers are so similar.

Love obviously couldn't keep up with his footsteps, and Stoudemire got stuck in the most powerful position in one step.

"Oops!"

Le Fu only felt a strong force coming from his chest, and his 200-pound body couldn't help but give up a little space.

Stoudemire yelled, took another step, and started to take three big steps straight away.With this acceleration, he passed Love's defense and rushed to the right side of the basket.

Take three big steps, bow your body, take off, and swing your hands round, like a king holding a tripod.

"Bang!"

The ring groaned overwhelmed, and along with the successful slam dunk, Stoudemire stood under the basket and let out a heart-piercing roar, which aroused a warm atmosphere in the audience.

"interesting!"

Zheng Ke, who didn't let it go, flew by, turned around and quickly sent the baseline ball.

Before Stoudemire finished roaring, the Timberwolves had already seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. The speed was extremely fast, and Billups and Afflalo became the fastest and sharpest two sharp knives.

Three-on-one in the frontcourt, Pekovic followed up with a one-handed dunk.

At this time, Stoudemire reacted, turned around and returned to defense, but didn't even pass halftime.

6 to 2, the Timberwolves made 3 of the opening games.

"The Knicks' defense is really bad. If Jordan did this on this shot, I won't break his leg." Thomas commented on the Knicks' defense on the court, and educated Jordan along the way.

On the bench, Jordan suddenly felt a dull pain in his calf, shrank his neck, and secretly made a note not to celebrate for too long.

By the halfway point of the first quarter, the Timberwolves were still leading by 4 points. Zheng Ke scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in the half quarter, and his performance was not eye-catching.

"In the second half, Jordan, come and play!"

Thibodeau looked around on the bench, and suddenly said to Jordan.

"okay!"

Little Jordan was overjoyed, and took off his coat in a second. He twisted his neck and joints, happily ran to the technical statistics table, and sat on the ground.

Stoudemire's speed is too fast, and Pekovic's weakness is just overcome by Stoudemire. Using Jordan, who has the same excellent mobility and is not inferior to Stoudemire in all aspects of jumping, to defend, Thibodeau feels that the effect will be much better.

Sure enough, in the second half, Stoudemire didn't have the chicness of the opening, and even one shot was directly blocked by Jordan.

When the cap came down, Billups grabbed it, and it was immediately a fast break for the Timberwolves.

Billups's magic stroke, leaning on Felton with his back, threw the ball into the sky, and passed it to Zheng Ke who was rushing forward without looking at anyone.

Defending Zheng Ke was Wilson Chandler, who looked quite strong.Zheng Ke completely ignored him. A collision during the run pushed him away in an instant. He grabbed the ball and accelerated. He took three strong steps and spread out his arms like an angel with broken wings.

Then swung down suddenly!

"boom!"

Madison Garden was suddenly in awe.
