one-handed ball

Chapter 162 Show Your Magical Powers!
"Oh ho ho ho, the iconic turnaround jump shot, the perfect combination of power and shooting!" Drexler picked up the microphone and was not stingy with his praise.

"Hey~" Barkley sighed, and said: "There are fewer and fewer traditional insiders in the league now, and Yao Ming is one of the few traditional centers. Although his mid-range jump shots are becoming more and more accurate, I still hope to see him in the middle. It looks like the inside line is overwhelmed."

There have been endless debates about the decline of traditional center forwards, but what is certain is that in this era of advocating the offense of outside players, the basic training of center forwards has been less and less valued. What people hope to see is a player with excellent footwork. A center with mobility and super defensive capabilities, as for offense, it can be left to outside players.

Yao Ming scored 2 points for the Rockets.

2 to 2 draw.

The Timberwolves attacked, the ball was guided a few times on the outside, and then it was handed over to Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke faced Battier who was ready for battle.Battier opened his hands, lowered his body's center of gravity, his heels were slightly off the ground, and his defensive posture was extremely standard.

Zheng Ke didn't want to get entangled with Battier, he beckoned to the inside and called Love to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Zheng Ke took a big step with his right foot, and Scola also opened his hands, trying to prevent Zheng Ke from breaking through. At this time, Battier, who came around, cooperated with Scola to wrap Zheng Ke in a small space.

"Catch the ball, Kevin!"

Zheng Ke yelled, stretched his arms, bypassed Scola, and distributed the basketball to Love who had already gone inside.

Love received the pass at 45 degrees from the free throw line and jumped up to shoot.

"Swish!" Hit.

4:2.

"Good job!" Zheng Ke gave Love a high-five when he returned to defense. Love's shooting stability has improved in recent games. The ball has been thrown almost inseparable from the body.

"hey-hey!"

Love smiled and tugged on the huge jersey with the number 42 printed on its chest.

Today the Rockets seemed to have made up their minds to attack the Timberwolves inside first. When the Rockets came back to attack, the generals still opened up to give Yao Ming the space, and McGrady dropped the ball in.

This time Anderson was fully prepared. He stood behind Yao Ming, stood firmly on the ground with his legs, and told himself to hold on.

Unexpectedly, after Yao Ming received the ball, he turned around and passed Anderson all at once. Yao Ming got stuck in front of Anderson with his huge body and dunked easily.

This time, Anderson was like a log standing still.

"Pretty!"

The three former Rockets legends yelled together that this turnaround was very smooth, and Anderson, who was standing there blankly, seemed to be coordinating with Yao Ming's performance, which added a lot of luster to this dunk.

"Yao Ming's footsteps are becoming more and more flexible!" Smith exclaimed.

"Since Yao Ming lost weight, his low-post footsteps have improved to a new level. I was thinking, if I also lost weight back then, would I have become an outside player?" Barkley said.

"No." Smith found a point to make complaints about his old partner: "I think even if your weight is cut off, you still can't beat Michael, because you are five centimeters shorter than him, hahahaha."

Barkley protested, defending himself: "I'm 1.9'[-] too."

While they were chatting, the Rockets still hit Yao Ming, slowed down the speed, and let Yao Ming single-handedly hit Anderson. Tonight he felt very hot, and now he has made 4 of 4 shots.The Timberwolves only missed two shots, and the Rockets led by 8 points 4-4.

Whitman, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was a little anxious. He could see that Anderson couldn't defend Yao Ming at all. He had already played 4 times. If this continues, the Timberwolves will be in danger.

After thinking for a while, he still asked for a timeout, and had to make some arrangements.

There was a burst of applause and cheers from the stands. At that time, Yao Ming's performance was a big hit, "You're so handsome!" Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.

"Chris (Anderson), don't be depressed." Whitman said to Anderson, who bowed his head: "There are a large number of players in the league who are blown by their opponents every night. Today, it's just that Yao Ming's touch is too hot. It's wrong. not you."

Then, Whitman took out the tactical board and said: "I think we need to double-team Yao Ming. We can't let the Rockets play their rhythm easily. Yao Ming usually takes the ball in this position. If he is here, Zheng , your lateral movement ability is the strongest, you can help to defend. If he is in this position, Kevin (Love), you can come to double-team, but you have to remember, if Yao Ming has the intention to pass, You must remember to return to defense at the first time."

"They will definitely double-team in a while." Adelman raised his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said firmly: "I know Whitman, and I also know the Timberwolves. Yao, if they double-team, I think you should know what to do. How to deal with it, this season, you have dealt with it many times, and you have always done a good job."

"Yes, Coach."

"If your teammate from the national team comes to double-team, you should pass the ball earlier. His hands are too fast, and you might make a mistake. You know, your teammate from the national team has had a lot of games this season. An average of 2.4 steals, so you must be careful. Then if the No. 42 or other people come to double-team, you can slow down a little bit, wait until they are completely close, and then pass out, so Luis (Sola Scola) ) they shot better, and.”

Pause ends.

The two teams returned to the court, and the referee handed the ball to Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke looked at it and found that the Rockets did not come to press, so he boldly handed the ball to Billups.

"Tactical No. 4!"

Billups raised the four fingers of his left hand to convey information to his teammates.

Zheng Ke came out from the inside and received a pass from Billups. Battier followed closely behind, and the defense was very tight.

Shane Battier defended Zheng Ke with [-] points. Zheng Ke, as a player in the top ten scoring list this season, was often followed by the opponent's top defenders. During this process, Zheng Ke only felt a little uncomfortable. Adapted, he now at least shows that he can calmly face these defenders.

After Billups handed the ball to Zheng Ke, he left the top of the arc. He ran to the right free throw line 45 and made a pick-and-roll for Afflalo, and Afflalo took the opportunity to cut in.

Zheng Ke's eyes lit up, and with a very subtle flick of his wrist, he passed the basketball over.

Afflalo caught the ball with both hands and faced the basket directly. Yao Ming's huge body immediately stood in front of Afflalo, and he was as oppressive as a mountain.

You will feel the pressure when you really face this kind of giant spirit-like characters!

Afflalo tried to pass the ball to Anderson, and there was a turnover, and the basketball was passed out of the baseline by him
Brooks took the ball, waved his hand, and shouted: "Go!" After finishing speaking, he flew away like a bow and arrow off the string.

The Rockets' fast break came so suddenly that everyone thought they would wait for Yao Ming to make a positional attack. They didn't expect Brooks to play his cards out of the routine and soared past halftime in an instant.

"Back to defense!"

Not caring about regretting the shot just now, Zheng Ke greeted his teammates before turning around and running back. Brooks' speed was too fast, and Zheng Ke felt that his speed ability value was at least around 95.

Zheng Ke and Billups followed. Zheng Ke kept up with the running Brooks and put pressure on him. Brooks dribbled the ball behind his back and returned the ball to his right hand while reducing his speed.

"Woo~" Zheng Ke let out a long breath, and finally managed to hold back this crazy little black bean.

But he didn't see the cunning flashing in Brooks' eyes. Almost instantly, he exploded with speed again, patted the ball with his right hand and returned it to his left hand, and instantly passed Zheng Ke's defense and entered the inside lane.

"Oops!"

Brooks disappeared in a flash in front of Zheng Ke as if he could blink.

Zheng Ke looked back and saw that Brooks had already underhanded the basket. The basketball touched the backboard and bounced into the ring, splashing the net flowers in that circle.

10:4.

Was attacked!
Zheng Ke's complexion suddenly became very ugly. Someone played a beautiful rhythm in front of him, the defenders. I finally calmed down my slightly excited mood.
"Give me the ball!"

Zheng Ke asked for the ball, and the team has obviously fallen into an embarrassing situation. As the boss of the team, it is necessary for him to stand up and respond.

Battier still had the same expression, showing determination in his calmness.

Zheng Ke stood holding the ball at 45 degrees, and everyone opened up space. McGrady thought about it, but he still didn't go to double-team. He knew how strong Battier's defense was. He didn't dare to say that he was stable at his peak. Battier, so he thinks that Zheng Ke should not be able to please him, right?

Zheng Ke leaned down slightly, with his feet stretched forward and backward, and stood one meter away from Battier, looking at him with lightning-like eyes, ready to go.

Zheng Ke moved, he pierced everyone's sight like a flash of lightning, and he was on the same level as Battier's body in the blink of an eye.

Battier obviously didn't expect Zheng Ke's breakthrough to be so straightforward and resolute, but his reaction was not slow, and he quickly adjusted his pace to keep up with Zheng Ke, and at the same time began to put pressure on Zheng Ke.

There was a sneer on Zheng Ke's face, he suddenly stopped, slowed down his rushing body, and then jumped up with the ball, his whole body was like a catkin, floating to the outside.

A standard and stylish pull-up jumper!

Battier shouted loudly, kicked forward vigorously, and stretched out his right hand forward hard.

"Shh!"

The rapidly spinning basketball crossed a beautiful parabola, passed through the net, and made a crisp sound during the intense friction with the net pocket
