one-handed ball

Chapter 381 Suppressing Opponents
The second half of the game began, and the Heat, who failed to win at the beginning, had the first wave of offensive opportunities at the beginning of the third quarter.

Chalmers handed the ball to Wade on the wing. Wade looked at James who was entangled with Zheng Ke in the bottom corner, and then called Bosh inside to come out and do a pick-and-roll.

After bypassing Afflalo's defense for a bit, Wade went to the inside face-to-face, and Jordan made a European layup in front of him and missed it.

The rebound was taken by Jordan who jumped again. This was his 8th rebound of the game. In front of the Heat's inside lineup, it seemed that grabbing rebounds had become a very easy task.

The Timberwolves attacked and handed it over to the low post Zheng Ke.

Once Zheng Ke fell to a low position, the threat to the Heat rose by more than one notch.James put his arms behind Zheng Ke's back. Zheng Ke grabbed the basketball with one hand and paid attention to the situation on the field with his wide vision.His passing ability, coupled with various offensive methods in the low post, make him the most terrifying killer in the low post. The Heat are not double-teaming, nor are they not double-teaming.

After shaking twice, which attracted the Heat to shrink the defense, Zheng Ke scored the ball to Billups on the outside.

Seeing Zheng Ke score the ball, Chalmers immediately gave up the double-team, flexibly controlled his body to turn around, and then rushed to Billups outside the three-point line.After Billups took the ball, he waited for Chalmers to come over, then lobbed the basketball again and handed it to Zheng Ke, who was one step closer to the paint.

This time, Zheng Ke caught the ball and turned his body directly, turning over and throwing a jumper.

James reacted a beat slower, and Zheng Keqiu had already shot it when he jumped up.

Two points hit! 50 to 41, the Timberwolves lead by 9 points.

At this time, the Timberwolves lineup on the field: Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love and Jordan.Field Heat lineup: Chalmers, Wade, James, Haslem and Bosh.

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Zheng Ke still looked hot in the second half!"

Barkley nodded in praise, "If Zheng Ke can maintain such firepower throughout the game, it will be a disaster for the Heat."

The Heat attack, and the basketball is handed over to James at the top of the arc.

James and Zheng Ke talked directly.He took a deep breath and calmed down.He is a smart person who knows what can be avoided and what cannot be avoided.The one-on-one with Zheng Ke was destined to be unavoidable from the very beginning of the game. The two met on a narrow road, and only the brave can win.

So this time James' breakthrough was extremely resolute. After that step, combined with the impact of physical strength, Zheng Ke instantly felt that he was hit by a rhinoceros. His weight disadvantage made him overwhelmed and opened up the defensive gap.

James Bull broke through, and his shoulders were immediately on the same level as Zheng Ke.

At this time, Zheng Ke had adjusted through his strong body coordination, his feet moved quickly, and his body stuck to James's body again like jellyfish, and the two began to fight physically.

Chalmers ran out of the bottom corner instead, James had a wide vision and chose to pass the ball in time.

Chalmers made a jumper and made a three-pointer. 44 to 50.

"That's it!" Spoelstra yelled, clenched his fists and stood up as if he had been shocked the moment Chalmers made the shot.The pressure on him has always been very high. This year, the Heat formed the Big Three with the goal of the championship. Now they have reached the finals. If they cannot win the championship, it will be a big blow.

Three minutes later, Zheng Ke made a pick-and-roll for Afflalo in a high position.Efflalo ran without the ball and cut, attracting the Heat's defensive attention.And Zheng Ke withdrew from the three-point line and received a point from Billups.After catching the ball, he took a shooting stance, shook James' center of gravity, took a step sideways, made a mid-range drift shot, and made a hit!

Zheng Ke's game in this quarter has a tendency to explode, and he has scored 8 points in a row.

Five minutes later, Zheng Ke broke through and caused a defensive foul by the Heat, standing on the free throw line.For Zheng Ke, who has the highest free throw percentage in active service, free throws are like eating and drinking, and he can easily score two more points.

Spoelstra's anxious forehead was dripping with sweat, and he kept asking himself what should he do?Zheng Ke kept scoring points, the Timberwolves took the obvious initiative on the field, and the morale of the Heat has always been low.James has not been able to break through to the inside a few times in a game. If he only makes jump shots from the outside, it will not produce much efficiency at all.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves actually led the Heat by 78 points 63 to 15.This point difference is already very large, and it is the biggest crisis that the Heat have encountered since entering the playoffs this year.

The fans watched it very well. In their script, the team should easily lead the Heat like this.Although after a game, Zheng Ke did not have many masterpieces of breaking through to the inside to complete dunks, but his jumper is very precise, whether it is a back jumper after turning his back, or a sudden stop jumper with a sideways move, or in the midst of a dribble The drifting shot, the fixed-point shot after the step back, the whole Zheng Ke is a shooting machine, using different shots to end the game.

Looking at it now, the effect is good. Zheng Ke scored 19 points on 11 of 28 shots in three quarters. He is currently the man with the highest score in the game.

Before entering the fourth quarter, ESPN conducted an interview with Timberwolves coach Thibodeau.

Reporter Irene asked: "The Timberwolves had a considerable advantage in the first three quarters, especially in the third quarter. The team's shooting percentage was very high. And James, Wade, Bosh's overall The scores are not high, did you have any special arrangements before the game?"

Thibodeau touched the fat around his waist with his hips on his hips, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "We did a very good defense and rebounding in the previous game. Jordan grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, and Kevin- Love protected our backcourt rebounds very well, and the players performed their duties. The whole team worked together to limit the Heat's shooting percentage. This is considered a normal tactical arrangement before the game. , without particularly serious pertinence.”

In fact, according to Thibodeau's original words, what I think is that the Timberwolves obviously only need to guard against the Big Three.Other Heat players are either too young, too old, not experienced enough, not athletic enough, and so on.This is because the Heat emptied out other players in the team in order to form the Big Three. Maybe next year, the year after, through the draft and through free market reinforcements, the Heat can truly form a team with the Big Three as the core. The Battleship.

At present, it is just an empty shelf, and it is all supported by the Big Three.

So when James and Zheng Ke lost their combat effectiveness in the matchup, Wade couldn't extricate himself in the hands of Afflalo Tangsi, and Bosh didn't have many mobile phone opportunities at all, it became obvious that the Heat fell behind the Timberwolves by a large score.

In the fourth quarter, Zheng Ke did not take a break, and the Big Three of the Heat also persisted in the line of fire.

The Timberwolves replaced Billups, Brewer and Jordan, replaced Lowry, replaced Pekovic, and replaced wing defender Corey Brewer.At present, Afflalo is in the situation of four fouls. The Timberwolves replaced Brewer to take over Afflalo's defensive work. The tall and long-armed Brewer looks like a monkey, but he finished it as soon as he came up. A steal.

Chalmers miscalculated the distance between him and Wade, and was cut off by Brewer inadvertently, and a dragon rushed to the front court.

Wade relentlessly chased after him, looking like he wanted to give him a big shot.However, Brewer is thin and fast, rushing up like a small whirlwind, and then conservatively chose a fast one-handed side-handed tomahawk dunk. The jumping Wade almost covered him. After the two made physical contact Fly out of the bottom line together. 80 to 63.

Smith said: "The Timberwolves are really full of talents! This new player, Corey Brewer, is a high-ranking rookie selected by the Timberwolves in 07. He is currently Zheng Ke's backup, serving as the team's shooting guard and small forward. , Occasionally play in the power forward position. The most impressive thing is his pair of long arms, but in recent days hesitant three-point shooting ability has declined, so the team's head coach often replaces veteran Mike Miller He became Zheng Ke's first substitute, and he looked very excited to be able to play at this critical moment!"

Barkley gave a strange laugh and said, "Actually, I also have long arms, but thinner people seem to have longer arms."

The Timberwolves have the confidence to make substitutions. At least Thibodeau feels at ease when he thinks that his side is still ahead by more than ten points.Even if the Heat are about to explode, he still has the time to call a timeout to adjust and the opportunity to react.The Heat did not dare to make a big change at all, and Spoelstra struggled for a long time before replacing Haslem and replacing Joel Anthony with Bosh re-assuming the fourth position.

Two minutes later, the Timberwolves attacked with a pick-and-roll. Zheng Ke faced Bosh's misplaced attack. After approaching two steps, he directly made a jumper. His personal score broke through to 2 points.

Zheng Ke suppressed James in the audience. James has only scored 15 points so far, which is exactly half of Zheng Ke's score.

于是郑克开始在詹姆斯耳边碎碎念：“30比15，,30比15，30比15 ”
