Chapter 36
NBA is known as the birthplace of miracles, where you never know what will happen in the next second.There are countless young people with dreams here. They are passionate, young and have fighting spirit. They cherish every opportunity to realize their dreams.Every year there are always unknown players who stand up from the development league, and every day there are bench players who will break out.

The Timberwolves were sad, they encountered Yi Jianlian who was in an explosive state.
After the start of the second half, Yi Jianlian broke out without warning, like a Chinese Type 99 tank, hitting the Timberwolves inside.Like Nowitzki, he hit a three-pointer from the high post, made a turnaround jumper from the low post, and even had a dunk after breaking through Jefferson! In the third quarter alone, Yi Jianlian scored 13 points. The Milwaukee media exclaimed: "This is the best rookie of the season show!"

Although Yi Jianlian broke out, the Timberwolves head coach Whitman, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai sidelines, was still there, because the Bucks did not perform well overall. Although Yi Jianlian scored a lot, his rebounds could not grab the two muscles of the Timberwolves. Man, in the third quarter it all depends on Bogut’s hard support inside, otherwise the rebounds would have been snatched up by the Timberwolves. Therefore, the Timberwolves rely on the second offensive advantage established by grabbing rebounds, and still control the field in the third quarter Taking the initiative, they maintained a 74-point lead with 70 to 4.

Yi Jianlian's sudden outburst frightened his friends on the sidelines, but it also made many Chinese media very excited. By the end of the third quarter, Yi Jianlian had scored 19 points and 5 rebounds, tying his career singles. The highest scoring record in a field, and it seems that he is about to break his own record, which really makes the media reporters love it to the extreme. What a good subject, what a good news hotspot!

Compared with Yi Jianlian's outstanding performance, Zheng Ke's performance so far is a bit unsatisfactory. Although he prevented Reid from shooting 5 of 1 in the third quarter, he himself also made 2 of 0 shots in the third quarter. In the third quarter, he made 2 of 1 free throws and scored 1 point. So far, he only made 3 of 4 shots and scored [-] points, which is a lot less than many substitutes.Although the media were very dissatisfied with Zheng Ke's unphotogenic performance, they had no choice but to hope that he would break out in the fourth quarter and make their news more interesting. eruption section or something
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zheng Ke entered the rotation lineup, and the substitute Gosman dominated the game.

Gosman took the lead and hit a long-range two-pointer after borrowing Jaric's cover. Point line, then received a pass from Simmons, faced with no defense, "bang!" hit Telfair to control the ball, after a dazzling dribble, swayed Mo Williams into the penalty area , Facing Bogut's supplementary defense, he used a concealed ground pass to Smith who was unguarded under the basket. Smith just wanted to force a dunk, but was pulled down by "Hairless Hero" Villanueva and made two free throws Two. The Bucks quickly served the ball, and "Music" quickly advanced to the frontcourt. After pretending to direct, he called Bogut to pick and roll. The Timberwolves defended Telfair and Smith to defend Bogut. Mo-William There is no hesitation when there is an open ball opportunity for Adams, Mo-Williams directly pulls up and shoots, "Swipe!" The basketball fell straight into the basket.
The two teams came and went as substitutes, but the score remained unchanged. It wasn't until the main players returned to the court that the Bucks were barely able to catch up with only three points.

But Jefferson, who had rested for nearly half a quarter, showed his bloodthirsty fangs when he came up. Facing Bogut's defense, he first made several fake moves to shake his center of gravity, then hit the board easily, and then On the defensive end, he gave a volleyball cap to "Mo Bu Chuan" who rushed inside. The blocked basketball was picked up by Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke quickly dribbled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. The Bucks only returned to defense. In addition to Zheng Ke rushing over, the Timberwolves also rushed over, and McCants also rushed over. Zheng Ke unselfishly distributed the ball to McCants, and Reid hurried to make up for McCants. The defense did not attack by force, but threw the ball near the basketball. Zheng Ke, who rushed over at a 45-degree angle, took three steps and made two steps into the sky. One hit and dunk the ball into the hoop!

This hot-blooded dunk completely boosted the morale of the Timberwolves generals. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Bucks head coach Chris Kowiak quickly asked for a timeout. The Timberwolves generals waving towels clapped hands with the players on the field one by one. Zheng Ke and Gosman celebrates with a mid-air collision
"Good job, guys, keep doing this, stay aggressive, and focus!" Whitman didn't talk about tactics, but praised his lovers uncharacteristically. Obviously, this kind of encouragement at this time stimulated this even more. Help the hot-blooded men, they are like forest wolf cubs, rushing back to the field with "owwow"
At the critical moment, Bucks star Reed still stood up. Facing Zheng Ke's candy-style defense, Reed borrowed Yi Jianlian's cover to make a direct shot from the three-point line and made a hit!Back to four points.
Jefferson's low singles against Bogut is still such an excellent footwork, but this time he didn't shake Bogut away, Jefferson chose to make a strong move under the basket. The ball was humiliating, but the ball was not very strong, and the basketball was still grabbed by Jefferson under the basket. Jefferson leaned on Bogut and hit the hook.
With only the last 4 minutes left, the Timberwolves led 92 to 86 by 6 points.

Reid controls the ball from outside the three-point line. The 28-year-old is at the peak of his career, but at the moment he feels very tired. He knows all this is due to the seemingly young and innocent boy in front of him give.In this game, Zheng Kezhen played the spirit of jellyfish, never leaving Reed, and harassing Reed with trash talk and small tricks from time to time, which exhausted Reed physically and mentally.

Reid used Yi Jianlian to pick and roll, Zheng Ke hurriedly followed, leaving no room for Reed, Reid had no choice but to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian who was going down, Yi Jianlian was also very surprised, did not expect Reed to pass the ball to him, He almost missed the ball in a hurry, but fortunately he finally caught the basketball. He subconsciously clicked in the air. Unexpectedly, Smith, who was defending him at the moment, was too excited. When Yi Jianlian clicked, he flew up very cooperatively. There is still no hesitation, Yi Jianlian takes a big step, and the Timberwolves will never let Yi Jianlian layup easily at such a critical moment. Jefferson, who is defending, hits Yi Jianlian and cuts it off. Yi Jianlian's basketball, the referee's whistle sounded in time: the blue No. 25 thug fouled!
Jefferson cut very hard, and Yi Jianlian felt that his hand was interrupted by this nasty guy, so he missed his usual free throws, and he only made one of two free throws.
Afterwards, the two teams missed several attacks. Until the last 1:25, Mo Williams hit a three-pointer again. This was a key goal. After scoring this goal, the Timberwolves only led 92 to 90 by 2 points !Whitman quickly asked for a timeout
"Boys, we are leading the field right now. Don't be nervous, you must be calm!" Whitman roared against the loud noise of the audience: "Come on, let's go on the field and kill this dying male." Deer!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and everyone felt a little relieved by what he said. They no longer felt the tension and worry about being chased for points. Everyone stretched out their hands and stacked them together: "One, two, three, kill them! "

The Timberwolves, who had regained their mentality, came up and played very patiently. Through Jefferson's strong inside play, the Bucks' outside players were double-teamed. Jefferson quickly passed to McCants on the outside. McCants actually Already had a three-pointer opportunity, but he was calm and didn't shoot. Instead, he gave it to Gosman, who had a better position and a better chance. Unfortunately, Gosman didn't make the open three-pointer. On the sidelines Whitman thumped his palm regretfully.

The Bucks are boiling at home, this is a chance for the Bucks to tie or overtake!

Reid controls the ball in his hands. As the head star, at this critical moment, the ball must be controlled in his own hands.He dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, trying to shake Zheng Ke's center of gravity, but Zheng Ke was unmoved. Suddenly, Reid accelerated and broke to the right. Zheng Ke twisted his buttocks and easily blocked Reed's breakthrough route, but This is a fake move by Reed, he actually wanted an emergency stop jumper!

"Don't even think about it!" Zheng Ke rose from the ground with a grim expression!Struggling to block Reed's jumper!

"What?" Reid was taken aback. Reed's ball had a large recoil, but Zheng Ke defended well and worked hard. He finally hit the ball with his middle finger!
The direction of the basketball also changed as written in Zheng Ke's script, and it hit the left edge of the basket with a "bang", but never expected that this key rebound was actually caught by the tall and long-armed Bogut. , and was picked up from the air by Yi Jianlian, who has amazing jumping ability!After grabbing the rebound, Yi Jianlian stretched out his hand to choose to shoot. At this moment, he has four arms on his head. He must have been touched by one arm. The referee also blew his whistle at the right time, foul!
foul!

At the critical moment, the referee blew Smith's thug foul!
After Yi Jianlian stabilized his mood, he made two free throws and the Bucks tied the score!

The Timberwolves requested a timeout. At this critical moment, the Bucks actually played a small climax and directly tied the score!Yi Jianlian contributed an offensive rebound and two points to tie the score at the critical moment!Even the host of Chaoting TV couldn't sit still, and kept praising Yi Jianlian: "UA made a huge contribution at the most critical moment. He has contributed 22 points and 7 rebounds in this game, breaking the game that belongs to him. His highest scoring record in a single game, what's interesting is that the highest scoring score in a single game of his career with 19 points in the last game was also in the Chinese Derby!"

Whitman has nothing to say at this time. The tactics that should be arranged have already been arranged before the game. At this time, he only arranged a low position for Jefferson on the tactical board. How to run tactics, because at this time Jefferson will definitely be double-teamed, handling the ball well will be the key to winning the game!

Back from the timeout, McCants controlled the ball from the outside and moved the ball to find Zheng Ke who was at 45 degrees. Zheng Ke lobbed high to Jefferson who was locked inside. Jefferson double-teamed the Bucks in singles. Zheng Ke went to double-team Jefferson, and Jefferson quickly passed to Zheng Ke on the outside. Zheng Ke waited until Mason posted it again, and once hung it to Jefferson. This time Jefferson played a trick, he didn't After dribbling, after taking the ball, he turned around Bogut with a beautiful back. Bogut's huge body became a burden to defend Jefferson, but Bogut reacted quickly, and he quickly grabbed Jefferson. Sen, Jefferson Bo got two free throws
It's a pity that Jefferson made one of two free throws at the critical moment. Although the Bucks trailed by one point, their morale rose because of Jefferson's two free throws.

Even so, the Timberwolves defended very tightly this time, as a whole, while the Bucks attacked like headless chickens one by one. Seeing that the Bucks' 24-second offense was about to come to an end, Mo Williams had to use one Awkwardly shooting the ball out of the way, the result was an air ball, and the rebound was protected by Jefferson.

The Timberwolves attacked, and there was a huge sound of "defense" cheering in the audience. Jefferson was unmoved. Facing Reid's double-teaming again, he passed to Gosman on the outside. He didn't hand it over to Jefferson. After receiving the pass from Jefferson, he broke through inward, attracted Yi Jianlian's defense, and then handed it over to Smith who was ambushing on the bottom line. One-man defense, throwing the ball firmly!

"Swipe!" Hit!This is a key three-pointer!
Wait, Zheng Ke seems to have stepped on the line, the referee gestured to pause the game, and a few bald referees ran to the technical stage to watch the video replay with their shiny heads.Zheng Ke didn't expect to see things happen to him on TV before. This feeling was really uncomfortable. He had a helpless expression on his face. In the end, the ball was awarded 2 points after the referee watched it repeatedly. .

The Bucks served, and they had already arranged their tactics when the referee watched the video just now. After all, regardless of whether the ball is a three-pointer or a two-pointer, the Bucks decided to make a three-pointer.

Mo Williams prepared from the sideline, and Reed interspersed to run, but Zheng Ke followed closely. Mo Williams saw the situation and sent it to Yi Jianlian on the other end, and then ran out behind Yi Jianlian to grab the basketball. At this time, he had the shooting spirit in his bones He got up again, seeing that McCants' defense was not very strict, and seeing that Zheng Ke was defending Reed very strictly, he decisively chose to come by himself, and then shot 45 three-pointers on the left.

The shot was so sudden that everyone thought the Bucks would hand over the last ball to the boss.

But unfortunately, the ball was not made, the basketball hit the rim, and the bounce was very high. Yi Jianlian and Jefferson hit the ball at the same time. When both Yi Jianlian and Jefferson fell, they jumped up and grabbed the key rebound above Yi Jianlian's head. This scene was filmed by the reporters on the sidelines and used as the front page cover of this Chinese derby
In the end, the Timberwolves narrowly beat the Bucks in an away game. Yi Jianlian played well and scored 22 points and 7 rebounds. Zheng Ke also performed very eye-catchingly, scoring 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He became a key figure in the Timberwolves' victory in this game.

Whitman said calmly to the many Chinese media who were chasing and intercepting him: "Zheng Ke's performance is phenomenal. He has worked very hard. He is now the core of our team's perimeter defense. I am proud to be able to coach him. "
