one-handed ball

Chapter 380

Every team that enters the playoffs will work hard to defend. The reason why the defense intensity in the playoffs is high is actually because of the enthusiasm of every player.

Therefore, the playoffs are a stage to test superstars. In fact, it is to see whether the stars can perform better than the regular season under such defensive pressure.O'Neill is like this, Duncan is like this, and Zheng Ke is like this today.Zheng Ke's head began to be labeled as "dominant".

At the home court of the Target Center, amidst the cheers of the audience, the Timberwolves played vigorously.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Heat by 21 points 16 to 5. The shooting percentages of the two teams were not high, but the excitement of the game was not lower than that of the head-to-head game.

On a stage like the playoffs, Heat coach Spoelstra did not dare to let the "Big Three" go off the court together. When James came off the court to rest at the beginning of the second quarter, he left Wade on the court to lead the team. .Supplemented by Chalmers, Eddie House, Haslem and Bosh.On the Timberwolves side, Lowry, Billups, Mike Miller, Love and Pekovic form a confrontational lineup.

It is not clear which side has the advantage, after all, it is a superstar like Wade leading the offense.

So when it comes to a substitute match, the coaches of the two sides don't dare to replace all the substitutes. Most of the time, they still have to intersperse one or two stars to stabilize the situation.In a game like this, Thibodeau, who has always been bold, did not dare to go up and down. It is difficult for the inexperienced Thornton and others to be entrusted with important tasks.

With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, the Heat tied the Timberwolves 32, and the Timberwolves requested a timeout.

Barkley didn't like James, but he praised Wade, who showed great power on the court: "This guy is full of energy, his speed, and his explosive power are at the peak level. This reminds me of him in 06 The crazy and magical performance in the finals against the Mavericks, if the Timberwolves did not pay enough attention to her, I am afraid they will suffer."

During the period just now, Wade scored 8 points in a row, including 4 free throws and 4 free throws, which caused a huge damage to the Timberwolves.

Back from the timeout, Zheng Ke appeared on the stage, but the Heat got into a tangle.Wade is in a hot state, and Spoelstra is really not reconciled if he is replaced like this, but Wade's physical strength is also very important.After hesitating for a while, the Filipino-American still chose to let Wade stay on the court. After all, it was the finals, and every game was crucial, and there were many players who had fought hard for 48 minutes before.

Both James and Zheng Ke are famous iron men, and they never bother about physical strength.

Zheng Ke received the basketball from the outside line, then turned his back and pouted his butt, and began to sit and beat James.

"It's endless!" James frowned deeply. Zheng Ke is addicted to back-up singles today, as if he has got me!
He was also aroused with arrogance, his center of gravity was lowered, his arm muscles were tense, his veins were exposed, and he was stuck behind Zheng Ke, motionless.

After the two made physical contact, Zheng Ke turned around like a spinning top.After James lowered his center of gravity, his body flexibility decreased, and Zheng Ke got stuck behind him in a blink of an eye.

Zheng Ke dribbled the ball for two steps, then in front of Bosh's supplementary defense, he dodged in the air and filled the frame with both hands. 34 to 32.

As soon as Zheng Ke came up, he detonated the target center with such a powerful performance. The audience responded with applause and cheers, but the morale of the Timberwolves players was greatly improved.

The Heat players kept running, and James used Bosh's pick-and-roll to kill the Timberwolves from the wing.

Inside the Timberwolves are Jordan Jr. and veteran Anderson, two help defenders with excellent jumping ability.James hugged the basketball, took a big leap, evaded Anderson's defense, and hit a layup. 34 to 34.

The posture was a bit weird, but it was a good goal, and a weak applause erupted from the Heat's bench.

After 1 minute, Zheng Ke came out from the bottom line and received the ball from Lowry. He stopped and stood in the elbow area with three threats holding the ball.James seemed to be clinging to him, but actually left a little gap to prevent Zheng Ke from breaking through suddenly.

Zheng Ke looked into James' eyes, and the eyes of the two collided in the air, facing each other.

Zheng Ke suddenly stepped out with his right foot to the left, and his body slanted to the left of James.James turned around on the back of his right foot and responded in time.But after the two confronted each other for two steps, Zheng Ke suddenly took a big step with his left foot in the middle, and the whole person actually opened up the space distance with James by retreating defensively.

Such a backside step is difficult to guard against, even if James is unprepared, he has a long distance from Zheng Kela.

Zheng Ke made a jumper from the free throw line and easily scored two points.

"This retreat is getting more and more flavorful." On the Timberwolves bench, assistant coach Thomas laughed and said to Thibodeau beside him.

Thibodeau smiled slightly: "Zheng Ke's offensive skills are indeed getting more and more perfect. He is now a fighter jet fully loaded with weapons, and no one can beat him. Unless someone shoots him down with endless anti-aircraft guns, or waits for him to get old Now, when you can’t fly.”

Thomas curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about being so literary? Just say that the Timberwolves basically can't win at all unless their opponents are convulsed!"

Thibodeau gave him a blank look, thinking that he was too cheap to talk to ordinary people.

The two teams played a little anxiously on the field. After Zheng Ke played, the morale of the Timberwolves improved. He also won applause for several wonderful goals, and the Timberwolves regained the initiative on the field.

47.9 seconds before halftime, after Zheng Ke dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, he made a three-point jumper from outside the three-point line. The Timberwolves led the Heat by 43 points 39 to 4.

After that, James responded with the ball, broke through and caused a foul by Zheng Ke, and made two free throws from the free throw line. 43 to 41.

When the Timberwolves made their final attack, there were still 32 seconds left in the game. After halftime, Billups dribbled directly to Love inside.Love understood, pouted his buttocks and hit the thin Bosh behind him, and then chose a half-hook and half-shooting method to quickly handle the ball. After a bump on the basketball hoop, he fell into the hoop, 45 to 41.

After the Heat dragged out 24 seconds of attack time, Wade missed a three-pointer.

The Timberwolves grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break. Zheng Ke rushed in from the wing. Billups and Jordan were equally astonishing in speed.The Heat's Wade and James retreated the fastest. Billups found Afflalo in the corner. Afflalo shot a three-pointer before the red light came on, and hit the buzzer! 48 to 41.

This is really unfavorable news for the Heat. Originally, the two teams had a similar point difference, but within 1 minute, after back and forth, the Timberwolves actually played a small climax of 8 to 2, and finally led the Heat by as much as 7 points.From the perspective of the entire first half, this should be the moment of the biggest point difference, but there is no chance for Spoelstra to call a timeout.

When the Filipino came off the court, her face was ugly.

The halftime break of the finals has become a little different from usual.In addition to the lesbian babies with beautiful legs as always, the mascot of the Timberwolves, Kulangqi, is the most popular object among the audience. The children chase him and run, thinking that this is some kind of real creature.

And after more beautiful legs and more media, the welfare of the audience will come.

Well-known mass media such as ESPN, TNT or Chaoting TV began to look for suitable people in the auditorium for half-time interviews, which is more exciting than the live lottery.

The old beauty who likes to express herself is not afraid of strangers when she is interviewed by the imperial court. She expresses her love and support for the Timberwolves like the people like a cannonball, and the strong Northwestern accent makes Director Zhang frown and feel heartbroken. I wonder how I will translate with the fans later.

The 15-minute half-time break is another battlefield besides the player stage, where merchants and media compete fiercely.

For the fans in front of the TV, this is a bit difficult. The endless advertisements make people live like years, thinking why the game has not started yet?
After a long wait, they came out, and finally under the eyes of anticipation, the players of both sides walked out from the player tunnel and began to prepare for the second half of the game.

"Remember what I just told you?" Spoelstra and the Heat players exhorted.

Wade nodded and said, "That's right, coach, we've all made it down. The Timberwolves can't win by just relying on inside breakthroughs. When we have a chance, we will decisively choose outside shots. You know, LeBron, me, and Mario (Chalmers) is a three-pointer."

James didn't express his opinion sullenly. In the first half, his score was still in single digits, while Zheng Ke had already scored 14 points. In terms of personal data comparison between the two, he was completely at a disadvantage. Being in a backward state made him feel very depressed.

He is a person who is eager to get attention, but Zheng Ke is now threatening his position as the favorite of heaven, which has caused a huge impact on his title of "League No.1". No matter which media it is, it is the Timberwolves when it comes to the NBA. Anyway, even the Heat's exposure rate of the Big Three is far less than theirs.

James made up his mind that he would have a "life and death duel" with Zheng Ke in the second half.
