one-handed ball

Chapter 92 Victory over the Pistons

I don’t know what Pistons head coach Sanders said to the Pistons during the intermission. From the beginning of the second half, the Pistons strengthened their defense in vain, and the defense became very layered. More pressure on the ball carrier.
Under such circumstances, Jaric, who appeared again, was successfully intercepted directly from Billups' hands, and then made a one-stop frontcourt layup.

"Damn it!" Jaric murmured, and bent over, dribbling the ball more carefully.

In the second half, the Timberwolves still chose their most commonly used lineup this season, with four shooters and a center. Under this tactical system similar to the Magic, as long as the Timberwolves feel good, they can shoot people to death.
Jefferson received the basketball thrown to him from the perimeter and began posting up Wallace near the paint on the right.

Rasheed Wallace is a first-class power forward in the league. He is a typical team member. On the offensive end, he has comprehensive offensive means and serves as a stable firepower. On the defensive end, his excellent movement speed and long arms guarantee In addition, he is a shot help defender, and he always maintains his focus and enthusiasm for the game. If he likes to argue with referees, there is probably no coach who does not like such a player.

Jefferson had a bit of trouble facing the 34-year-old veteran.
The Pistons also did not take help defense, and let Jefferson single-play Wallace. It seems that Sanders is more afraid of the Timberwolves' three-pointer rain than Jefferson's strong inside shot.
Jefferson is going to force a shot!
Zheng Ke observed Jefferson's actions from the outside line. He saw that Prince, who was facing him, relaxed a little, and accelerated and slipped in from the left baseline.
Jefferson's shot is very reluctant, the angle and feel are not good, and the distance seems to be a bit far from the basket
The basketball hit the basket's neck and bounced outward!

"good chance!"

Zheng Ke stepped on the ground with his left foot and exerted all his strength. The friction between the sneakers and the floor made a screeching sound!Then he rushed into the air like a rocket!Wallace who barely turned around could only look up to see Zheng Ke flying above his head.
Zheng Ke stretched his ape arms lightly, grasped the basketball as if holding the moon for nine days, and then swung it down with a tomahawk!
"boom!"

The basket groaned in pain under Zheng Ke's strange force, and completed a terrifying angle downward!

"Sigh~~"

The entire Palace of Auburn Hills let out a gasp. This back button is too violent and powerful!People can't help but look at this yellow-skinned young man who has been surrounded by the generals of the Timberwolves. Is this still a weak Asian in their eyes?This is simply a wild monster with yellow skin!

"Top ten balls, top ten balls! Your kid is in the top ten balls again!" Jefferson put his arms around Zheng Ke, and said excitedly in his ear, McCants, Channing Frye and others came over to touch this In their eyes, the new hairstyle of the little brother, patting Zheng Ke's ass.
The Timberwolves' bench was also in a state of ebullition. Randy Foye took the lead in waving towels on the bench, and there were even some worshipers there.
Compared to the Timberwolves with high momentum, the atmosphere of the Pistons was a little bit depressed. Wallace felt that his old face was a bit unbearable. He just became the background of Zheng Ke's supplementary dunk, which made him feel embarrassed, but Zheng Ke dunked cleanly. He just wanted to talk to the referee for no reason.
At the critical moment, Billups, the soul of the Pistons, stood up. With the help of Antonio McDyess's pick-and-roll, he shot directly from the outside and hit a three-pointer, which slightly suppressed the high momentum of the Timberwolves.
After Zheng Ke's dunk, the Timberwolves played very passionately, but in fact the efficiency was not high. Fortunately, McCants performed well in this game. At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led by 70 points 65-5.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Whitman received an interview with ESPN's beauty reporter Erin Andrews.

"Hello, Randy, you should be very satisfied with the Timberwolves' previous game, right?"

Whitman looked at this enchanting woman and smiled: "Yes, generally speaking, I am very satisfied with the first three quarters of the Timberwolves team. We played our own style and made a lot of three-pointers, but There was a little disarray in the middle of the third quarter, but they sorted it out right away."

Andrews continued to ask: "Who do you think is the most satisfying performance among the Timberwolves?"

Whitman thought for a while, and pondered: "Generally speaking, I am very satisfied with all the Timberwolves players. McCants hit a lot of three-pointers. He felt great in this game. Zheng Ke completed it. A great dunk, his defense brought energy to the Timberwolves, and Al, he gave his teammates a lot of help in the paint."

Andrews retracted the microphone, pointed at the camera and said: "Okay, thank you, Randy"

Whitman: "It's all right."

The benches of the two teams cannot be said to be evenly divided, but at least, the Timberwolves' bench lineup has been tightly guarding the five-point lead driven by Randy Foye's fiery touch.
Randy Foye's performance was rewarded by Whitman, who did not replace the inactive Jaric, but used the lineup in the second quarter to play the final game
Randy Foye controls the basketball in the frontcourt, and he looks up to observe the movements of his teammates.

Zheng Ke slipped to the flank and made an off-ball screen for McCants. McCants slipped past Zheng Ke like a dexterous cat, and Hamilton was consciously blocked by Zheng Ke, but this kid It also reacted super fast, and quickly shouted at Prince: "Replenish defense!"

Prince signaled that he was accepted, and quickly moved to follow McCants.

As soon as Prince left, Zheng Ke immediately asked Randy Foye for the ball, and Foye gave the ball to Zheng Ke without any hesitation.
Zheng Ke stuck Hamilton sideways and grabbed the basketball with one hand
One-handed ball!

With such a handsome pose, Zheng Ke made many of his female fans watching the TV broadcast scream. This pose has the feeling of McGrady.
Although Hamilton is thin, he is not afraid of physical confrontation. In the top defensive team in the league, the Pistons, Hamilton has learned a lot of defensive skills, including various small moves
Zheng Ke looked at this masked man who was quietly pinching his soft flesh, and frowned. Damn, it really hurts!
He didn't care about being handsome anymore, he just turned on his horsepower and took a big stride to break through to the right of Hamilton!

"what?"

Hamilton was taken aback. Zheng Ke's starting speed was very fast and he was very powerful, running over his body like a heavy tank!

Hamilton quietly opened his hand to push Zheng Ke, but Zheng Ke broke through Hamilton's defense as if he was a normal person!

Zheng Ke attracted Antonio McDyess, who was defending from the perimeter, to make up the defense, and he quickly assigned it to Channing Frye who was ambushing in the bottom corner!

Fry raised his hand and hit a three-pointer!
pretty!Whitman applauded from the bottom. This time the offensive routine is very clear, and the tactics are fully played out. It is the Timberwolves-style attack he wants to see!

The Timberwolves lead by nine points 80 to 71!

Billups got the ball, and he gave the instruction of the second tactic.

The generals of the Pistons didn't say a word, they silently settled down according to Billups' request, and then began to run tactically. De, Rasheed straight arm jumper, hit!

The Timberwolves counterattacked quickly, the basketball was intercepted by Prince, and Billups hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Jefferson missed a strong inside shot, grabbed the frontcourt basketball, and made a second attack, causing Rasheed to foul.

The game passed minute by minute, and the Timberwolves could always find a way to attack and score. The Pistons are not the kind of team that can score in an instant, and the victory of the game began to tilt towards the Timberwolves.
Finally, in the last minute and twenty seconds of the game, the Timberwolves still led the Pistons by nine points. The Pistons replaced all the main players on the field and announced their surrender
本场比赛，麦坎茨17投10中砍下了26分，全队一共拿到了97分，以7分的优势爆冷小胜东部地区No.2.
After the game, some media described the game like this:
Looking at before and after the game, the Timberwolves' excellent touch may be one of the reasons for the victory over the Pistons, but it is by no means the most critical factor. When Jefferson encountered resistance inside and could not get benefits from Rasheed , Zheng Ke stood up, he used his defense to strangle Prince, and he gave his teammates a supplementary defense at any time. He used his breakthrough to cause trouble for the Pistons many times, and he really connected the inside and outside lines. He is the lubricant of the Timberwolves and the true core of the Timberwolves' perimeter!
