one-handed ball

Chapter 147 The Moment of Life and Death
Thaddeus Young shot a three-pointer suddenly, the top of the arc was very flat, the speed was very fast, and the impact was quite large. Cheeks jumped up happily, and Whitman's face suddenly became pale. It was ugly, and he quickly signaled to the referee and made a time-out gesture.

Now the Timberwolves are one point behind, but the ball is still in the hands of the Timberwolves. Whitman scratched his face. He couldn't think of a good offensive tactic for a while. Looking at the players around him, he had to come up with another game. The old tactics that I had prepared before began to be explained skillfully.

At this time, the entire audience stood up, and everyone looked up at the small crowd that surrounded them.After the timeout ended, the Timberwolves players began to walk on the field, and the camera quickly cut to Zheng Ke's face. At this time, Zheng Ke's face was solemn. He pulled the knee pad on his right leg and checked his equipment again to ensure There is no problem.

The Timberwolves kicked off from the sideline, and the players immediately ran according to Whitman's arrangement just now. Billups, who was originally in the low post, bypassed behind Zheng Ke, and received a pass from Brewer on the outside with the help of Love's off-ball screen. The ball, and then Billups pushed the ball to the left, and Andre Miller followed closely, putting pressure on Billups to hold the ball.

"Run in!"

In a daze, Zheng Ke ran to Le Fu's side. He crossed his hands and stood up straight.

The "little man" covering the big man?However, Love's reaction was not slow, and he ran past Zheng Ke with a tacit understanding, while Dalembert, who was defending him, bumped into Zheng Ke's body.

Being bumped by a tall man over two meters tall, Zheng Ke almost lost his footing. Fortunately, he was so powerful that he managed to withstand the impact of Dalembert. At this moment, it seemed that Zheng Ke was alone Blocking the appearance of Iguodala and Dalembert.

Billups had sharp eyes and quick hands, and when he saw that Love was open, he passed the ball in the first place.

Love received the ball from the basket and completed a two-handed dunk.

"nice shot!"

When returning to defense, Zheng Ke and Love were very excited, and they had a passionate chest bump to celebrate.After Love scored the goal, the Timberwolves overtook the 93ers by one point 92 to 76.

Seeing the wonderful cooperation played by the Timberwolves, Whitman couldn't stop the excitement in his heart, but he still reacted immediately, made a trumpet shape with his hands, and shouted: "Quickly return to defense! Keep an eye on the people!"

At this point, everyone is going all out, Billups also sacrificed his super defense.In terms of point guards, Billups' defense is definitely top-notch. Wade, Parker and other top guards in the league have all praised him. Today, if it weren't for the 76ers, there is an equally good point guard. The old demon ball (Andre Miller), I am afraid that the 76ers would have surrendered long ago, but then again, if it weren't for Love's remarkable performance in this game, the Timberwolves would not be able to survive now.

Miller was nearly cut off by Billups' close defense and struggled to get the ball across the frontcourt.

In 1 minute, the ball was handed over to Iguodala.Although Iguodala did not have any decent offense throughout the game, but at this critical moment, and the Timberwolves did not adopt a double-team strategy, the 76ers players still consciously handed over the ball to the star. Godala's desire to score is not strong, but everyone still recognizes his boss status.

Zheng Ke had been waiting for the ball for a long time. Seeing Iguodala catch the ball, he quickly pasted it like a dog's skin plaster, and a long hand went around Iguodala's side, trying to break his ball.It was really touched by Zheng Ke, but unfortunately the distance was a bit far, Zheng Keli couldn't send it out, and slightly touched the ball in Iguodala's hand.Instead, Iguodala was taken aback. He quickly grabbed the ball and stretched it far away. If Zheng Ke really took it out, it would be a sad reminder.

Iguodala knows how amazing Zheng Ke's physical fitness is. He and Zheng Ke have been fighting for so long. It seems that Zheng Ke is better than himself in everything except jumping. His strength is abnormal and his speed is abnormal. In order to defend Zheng Ke, He's done his best.Now it's his turn to attack, but what's terrible is that Zheng Ke's strongest defense is his defense with the ball. Iguodala has a deep understanding of this.

So he didn't think about attacking Zheng Ke. Seeing Zheng Ke's concentration, Iguodala gave a look to a certain player on the field.
"They're coming to pick and roll, ZK!" Smith yelled loudly as soon as Brand ran out, reminding his boss.

Zheng Ke naturally noticed Brand's pick-and-roll, he thought about it, and felt that Iguodala would not want to shoot a three-pointer at this time, so he boldly bypassed Brand with confidence.But when he came out from behind Brand, he couldn't find the red number 9 figure.

Only the audience exclaimed, and then the crisp sound of hitting the net came from the basket.

"what?"

Zheng Ke turned his head and saw the playback on the big screen. At such a critical time, Iguodala dared to shoot a three-pointer.When he saw Zheng Ke around behind, he stood in front of Brand, and then resolutely shot a three-pointer.

In 50 seconds, the Timberwolves fell behind 93 to 95 by 2 points.

I really underestimated the heroes of the world. Although Zheng Ke was upset, he still admired Iguodala's courage in his heart.Of course, if he didn't make it, Zheng Ke should probably call him a fool.

Billups asked Whitman for instructions. Whitman signaled that there is no need to pause and the game continues. He feels that he has nothing to arrange. Now it depends on the performance of the players themselves, or the stars themselves. It's time to solve the problem.

In 45 seconds, Zheng Ke received the ball near 45 degrees, and Iguodala was inseparable.Zheng Ke observed the situation on the field and found that the chances of the players were not very good. He gritted his teeth, the sneakers made a violent friction on the ground, and then broke through to the left suddenly.

In this game, Iguodala was forcing Zheng Ke to break through to the left most of the time. According to statistics, Zheng Ke's power of breaking through on the right side and the efficiency of attacking the basket at the end were about 5.00% higher than those on the left side. The gap is not particularly large, but considering that most of the time Zheng Ke breaks through the right, these five percentage points can be seen as the gap between Zheng Ke's left and right breakthroughs.

It's not that Zheng Ke is not good with his left hand, it's just that Zheng Ke, who is used to his right hand, is more handy when he shoots from the right, and his efficiency is naturally higher.

With five seconds left to attack, Iguodala's defense was airtight. Zheng Ke had no choice but to stop the ball. He turned around and handed it back to Billups on the outside.

Billups was already ready, Zheng Ke passed, he caught the ball, took off, and shot!The action was done in one go, and the shooting was more determined than that of Iguodala just now!
But today God seems to be a bit careless about the Timberwolves, the power of the shot is a little stronger, seeing the basketball has entered the basket, but bumped back and forth on the basket a few times, and then jumped out
"Backboard!"

Everyone roared immediately.

"mine!"

Love failed to get stuck, he and Dalembert jumped at the same time, just like the jump ball in the opening moment!
Love's bounce was still a bit weak, and the basketball was still touched by Dalembert first, but Love also clicked, and suddenly the trajectory of the ball changed, and it bounced outside.

Coincidentally, Thaddeus Young ran in from the perimeter, saw the basketball, was overjoyed, and hugged him in his arms.

At 27:76, the Timberwolves were still behind by two points. Now the audience could see that the situation was very unfavorable for the Timberwolves. The key is that the ball is still in the hands of the [-]ers. Cheeks thought about it. It was also the Timberwolves who paused to deploy tactics. He didn't need to give them a chance to buffer, so he waved his hand to signal Miller to continue, and at the same time made a gesture to control the rhythm.

Controlling the tempo at this time, of course, means running out of time even if you don't make a goal. Miller turned his head to look at the coach, made a gesture of acceptance, and then began to pat the ball unhurriedly.

After 15 seconds, Miller started to start, very fast, a simple front hand change, and then rushed to the right of Billups.

Billups didn't change his face. Seeing Miller rushing forward, he moved in small steps, faintly pinching Miller's offensive line.

Miller was not annoyed, he turned around, and then distributed the ball to Iguodala who ran out, and then tacitly made a screen for Iguodala, trying to block Zheng Ke.

But on the Timberwolves side, Zheng Ke's reaction was not slow. Seeing Miller's pick-and-roll, he ignored it and sped up. was dismantled.

There was not much time, and Iguodala couldn't pass Zheng Ke. After a few crossovers, he chose a fadeaway jumper. Zheng Ke defended very well. He stretched out his hand at the first time, giving Iguodala a big blow pressure.

Iguodala missed the shot.

"Go away, my backboard!"

Love's eyes were red this time. He felt that he could actually grab that rebound just now. This time, his upper body strength was fully utilized for this rebound, and the burst of energy pushed the Haitian forward tightly behind him, and grabbed this rebound. Key rebound!

At the first time, Zheng Ke, Billups, and Whitman made a timeout gesture to request a timeout. The referee was also prepared, and he immediately blew the timeout whistle.

The 76ers' attack took almost 24 seconds, plus the time for the basketball to fly in the air and the time for rebounding, the Timberwolves only had 1.5 seconds left.
