one-handed ball

Chapter 58 Best Cover

Zheng Ke looked at the top small forward in the league who seemed to be still full of power, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this guy is too perverted, Pierce is the league's offensive kaleidoscope, he is good at breakthroughs, good at half-block shots, and good at all kinds of low positions. Offensive method The game has entered the last 3 minutes, but Pierce, who has played for 40 minutes, still maintains considerable physical strength. He just broke through Zheng Ke and caused a foul by Zheng Ke
Pierce made two free throws and the Celtics led by six points 83 to 77!The situation on the court is not good for the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves attacked, and at the critical moment, they still handed the ball to the team boss Al Jefferson!
Opposing Jefferson was Garnett, who had already played 39 minutes. He failed to play at the level of a superstar offensively in this game and only scored 14 points, but he was very good at grabbing rebounds. Grabbed 16 rebounds unconsciously, in addition to rewarding Jefferson with 2 caps!
Although Jefferson did not perform well under Garnett's defense, he is the team's future hope and the core pillar of the team after all. At this moment, it is still necessary to leave it to the stars to solve the battle
The Timberwolves trust their stars so much, so what reason does the Celtics not believe in their stars?

So all the players on the field opened up space to watch this duel between the two!The fans in the entire arena stood up, watching the duel between the two generations of wolf kings intently!

After Jefferson got the basketball, he did not choose to attack with a back. In this game, his post-up attack was relatively inefficient. Garnett was taller than him, with longer hands and better jumping than him. He also had top-notch defensive awareness. The body attack can't stand him, but is often interfered by Garnett's long arms
Jefferson attacked with the ball frame, Garnett stretched out his long arms and waited for it. Suddenly, Jefferson grabbed the basketball with both hands and threw it to the right, as if to break through to the bottom line on the right
Garnett is unmoved

Jefferson's move was indeed a fake move. His real move was to attack to the left. When he took a big step to the left, Garnett stuck to him tightly, and the two started near the paint area. The most primitive muscle collision!
step

two steps
Jefferson already squeezed to the basket with the greatest strength, but the fact is that he was pushed into the middle by Garnett!In desperation, he planned to use the small hook with his left hand to resolve this battle, but just as he was about to use the small hook, he seemed to see a white figure running towards the basket from the corner of his eyes!In the blink of an eye, without thinking too much, he handed the ball to the brother who ran over
It was Zheng Ke who came!
When Zheng Ke saw that Jefferson failed to shake Garnett for the first time, he knew that Jefferson's attack would fail in all likelihood, so he ran in to grab an offensive rebound, but he didn't expect that just now Running to the free throw line, Jefferson unexpectedly handed the ball to himself!

At this time, Pierce is behind, and in front is Garnett, Perkins' super inside defensive combination, Zheng Ke is really in a dilemma!

This time, the bachelor spirit in his bones spread out again, I saw him grit his teeth, hold the ball, sullenly head towards the inside and kill.
step

two steps
"Don't even think about it!" Garnett, not to be outdone, jumped up at an astonishing speed after seeing Zheng Ke flying up in two big strides!
Zheng Ke watched Garnett rise higher and higher, and suddenly felt that he was an insurmountable mountain.

The bodies of the two collided in the air like sparks hitting the earth!

"Drip~"

At the critical moment, the referee's whistle sounded, "Celtics No. 5, block the foul!",

Phew~Zheng Ke wiped off a cold sweat, looked at Garnett who ran to argue with the referee, and said in his heart that he was glad, he really loves the league's bias towards small players.
Zheng Ke made [-] of [-] free throws
The Timberwolves are still four points behind, and there are only 2 minutes left in the game
The Celtics' offense was still handed over to their "skin team" Pierce, who still used the 45-degree step-back jumper, but this time, although Zheng Ke still failed to cover him, he himself did not. able to invest
The rebound was taken by McCants!

In this round, McCants unexpectedly chose to break through. Rondo's long and big arms failed to stop McCants' footsteps. Jefferson was willing to be a green leaf. He pushed Garnett and drove for McCants. A broad road, McCants easy layup!
Cheers erupted from the audience!
"Perkins!" "Defense!" Celtics coach Rivers was obviously very dissatisfied with Perkins' defense. He shouted with his signature roar from the sidelines: "Don't stare at the three-pointer, Protect the inside line!"

However, something worse happened. Rondo's pass made a mistake. McCants directly intercepted Rondo's pass, and the two ran away for a while!

"Whoosh" The two ran fast!
"Swoosh!" Zheng Ke chased after him very quickly!

McCants was still in a hurry. He hoped to tie the score with this goal, ignoring Rondo, who was 5 centimeters shorter than him, and went straight to the basket with a quick break
The basketball was slightly disturbed by Rondo's long arm, and there was a deviation, and it bounced over the basket and flew backwards!

Zheng Ke was overjoyed, three steps in parallel and two steps up from the ground, received the rebounded basketball, and scored the ball with a slam dunk!
The Timberwolves chased for six points in a row at the last moment!Tied the score!The audience cheered even louder!
Zheng Ke was so excited that he and Gomez, who just got up from the ground, had a chest bump to celebrate!
Celtics request timeout
"Good job! Boys!" Whitman continued to high-five every player off the field, "That's it, stay aggressive, pay attention to the transfer of the ball, do your own defense, we will win soon! Everyone, work harder."

The anchor of Chaoting TV also explained from time to time: "The Timberwolves played a [-]-[-] spurt at the last moment, tying the score in one fell swoop. May I ask Director Zhang, what caused this?"

"Actually, this small climax is beyond my expectation, and it is reasonable!" Director Zhang looked at the information in his hand and said: "It is not surprising that the Timberwolves can play a small climax, but the strange thing is that the starting point of the small climax is not theirs. The strongest inside line, but their outside line"

"Among the six points, point guard McCants scored two points for a layup, and Zheng Ke scored four points through two free throws and a tip-in dunk. As you can see, these six points were contributed by outside players. That’s why I said it was unexpected.”

"So what makes sense?"

"When Zheng Ke went down to rest just now, everyone was saying that coach Whitman should not replace Zheng Ke, because everyone knows that Zheng Ke is the outside defensive gate of the Timberwolves, and I think that Zheng Ke recovered after going down. He is more efficient after he re-enters the court, but the Celtics' main players have not rested, and it is not surprising that they can make contributions."

Pause ends soon
With only one minute left in the clock, Celtics ball handler Rondo advanced to the half court with the ball, and the uniform voice of "defend, defend" sounded in the audience!
Although the momentum is great, for a few old fritters of the Celtics who have experienced strong winds and waves, this decibel sound is not enough to worry about
The Celtics players began to intersperse and move,
Pierce received a pass from Rondo at 45 degrees on the right. This time he did not choose to attack. Zheng Ke's defense was very troublesome. Pierce transferred the ball to Garnett who was in the main position inside!
The cheers from the audience are even louder!
Garnett held the basketball high and turned to face Jefferson!
Want to single me out?bring it on!Jefferson secretly cheered himself up and stared at Garnett!
But Garnett did not choose to shoot at this position, he gave a high lob to Perkins who had already occupied the space and position inside!
Oops!This trick again!Zheng Ke scolded
Rivers dared to choose Perkins at a critical moment, which can be described as audacious!In this game, Perkins performed well in the interior, and Brewer's small body can't stop this extremely strong big man!

Brewer had no choice but to choose to foul. He contributed a lot on the offensive end of the game, but he also had many problems on the defensive end. After this foul, he could only choose to graduate early because he had committed six fouls!

whitman replaced smith

Perkins made two free throws, and the Timberwolves fell behind by two points!
The time is only the last 50 seconds!
Jefferson failed to show his superstar temperament. After receiving the basketball, his offense was once again blocked by Garnett. He chose to force a shot, and the rebound rebound was caught by Garnett.
Neither side chooses to pause and the game continues

The Celtics handed the ball to Pierce, and everyone opened up space to watch Pierce play Zheng Ke in singles!
Zheng Ke opened his arms, raised his heels slightly, and stared at Pierce firmly!
Suddenly Pierce's shoulders shook, as if he wanted to break through to the left, but in an instant, he changed to break through to the right. Zheng Ke was not fooled by Pierce's fake action, he successfully blocked in front of Pierce and blocked Pierce's offensive line!
"Damn it!" Pierce was furious, but Zheng Ke was helpless.
In desperation, he also chose to pass the ball, and the basketball was handed over to Ray Allen on the outside. Ray Allen quickly made a three-pointer!
"boom!"

The basketball rebounded and was hugged by Jefferson!

The Timberwolves request a timeout!There are only the last ten seconds left!

"It's still the same tactic, everyone knows it!" Whitman picked up a pen, squatted on the ground, and drew on the tactic board: "Give the ball to Al! We implement No. 1 tactic, McCants, your position here"

The pause time at the last moment is always so short, Whitman really wants to have another pause, he still has the third and fourth sets of plans that he has not finished, and he still has too many things that he has not told, now he can only rely on Timberwolves players themselves!

With the whistle of the referee, the Timberwolves players began to run tactically. Al Jefferson was defended by Perkins in the low post. Perkins had defended Jefferson at the beginning of the game. Garnett took turns to defend, and sometimes they even double-teamed Jefferson!
Jefferson just got the ball and was not double-teamed just now. After he attacked with his back for a while, he was double-teamed by Garnett. He didn't dare to dribble too much, so he quickly hugged the basketball and handed it over to the responder. gomez
Everyone saw that the first plan was not working, so they quickly implemented the second plan!
Zheng Ke immediately ran to the 45-degree area of ​​the free throw line to act as an inside line, and made an off-ball screen for McCants!
After McCants passed by, Zheng Ke quietly hugged Rondo, and now, Zheng Rondo and Pierce gathered together, and then McCants received a pass from Gomez outside the three-point line !

By the time Pierce switched defenses, it was already too late, and McCants steadily dialed the ball out!

Under the gaze of [-] pairs of eyes in the audience, the basketball plunged into the basket, and there was a burst of net flowers
At the same time, the red light is on, and the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game.
