one-handed ball

Chapter 302 Bombardment
Looking at Whitman's hoarse voice, Zheng Ke felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Perhaps his mood affected his judgment. For Whitman's old-fashioned words, Zheng Ke felt callused, cheer up, cheer up, what's the use of just shouting slogans there?

This is the most aggrieved day in the Timberwolves' history. Internal and external troubles have been reversed.

The dull atmosphere in the target center proves this point. The Timberwolves players are in an extremely struggling situation, and Zheng Ke is also suffering.

Zheng Ke played even harder in the fourth quarter, as if his dissatisfaction with Whitman had vented on the court.

When he had the opportunity, his breakthrough was more determined and sharp, and Jefferson couldn't defend him at all.However, the Spurs set up layers of containment. Even if Zheng Ke rushed to the paint area, the Spurs' insiders would drag him down.I would rather give Zheng Ke a free throw than let them complete the goal in a sports game.

Zheng Ke got a lot of free throws, but the score did not improve.

"Snapped!"

Gibson got a chance at the basket. He wanted to force a slam dunk, but was slapped out by a big block from Duncan. This was the fifth time Duncan blocked a shot in this game. With the right timing and angle, the ball was easily thrown out, and Gibson's two-handed dunk was firmly pressed down by Duncan.

At 7 minutes, Zheng Ke finally got a chance outside the three-point line and shot an open three-pointer.

hit!

It's not easy, this is the first three-pointer since the start of the second half, and the Timberwolves finally opened.With a loud roar, Zheng Ke dispelled a lot of hostility in his heart.His three-pointer was like an extremely effective heart-saving pill, which made the disappointed and silent auditorium commotion again. Inspired by the DJ, the audience reorganized the cheering lineup.

85 to 79, the Spurs lead by 6 points.

The ball was in Parker's hands, he looked left and right, and handed it to Ginobili on the wing.After Ginobili took the ball, he paused and looked at Afflalo, wondering what to think.

Suddenly, he started.

The stride is very big, and when the right foot steps out, the whole person instantly approaches the distance from Afflalo.Afflalo was startled, looked at Ginobili's old face, and took a step back subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Ginobili's step was actually a fake move. He retracted his figure and suddenly stood still outside the three-point line.

"Oops."

Afflalo already knew what Ginobili was going to do, so he rushed forward in a panic.

Ginobili shot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. It was a weird shooting posture. He almost didn't take off, and shot the ball on the spot.

Facing the defense, passing through the heart.

88 is better than 79!

The jubilant encouragement just now came to an abrupt end.The audience on the bench watched all this blankly, some couldn't believe this fact, and could only say that life's ups and downs are too fast.

"Dry!"

Zheng Ke cursed secretly, thinking that God is really not helping today.When the Timberwolves are not about to start, the Spurs can always save the day. In addition, he and Whitman have such a quarrel, the fighting spirit of the players on the field has dropped to freezing point, and the morale is completely incomparable with the Spurs.

Time passed by, and Zheng Ke was still looking for opportunities.

2分钟后，郑克拿到了他本场的第35分。罚球线上，郑克两罚两中。森林狼84比90落后了马刺6分。

The score was close, but Zheng Ke felt that chasing points was getting harder and harder.

"呲~"

Zheng Ke's new black basketball shoes made a violent friction sound on the floor. At the mid-range position, he made another extremely difficult emergency stop jump shot, which was exactly the same as McGrady's action back then. Zheng Ke's emergency stop jump shot was also accompanied by extremely elegant elegant demeanor.

The arc was extremely low, and it hit the back edge of the basket, making a "bang" sound.

The Spurs complained endlessly.Zheng Ke is too difficult to guard. Among the wing players, the leading offensive player with the ball can pose a great threat whether it is a breakthrough or a shot.What's more troublesome is that Jefferson's defensive footsteps can't keep up with Zheng Ke as his physical strength declines, and Zheng Ke still seems to be alive and well.

Popovich simply replaced Jefferson at the most critical time!
This is an extremely bold change. As the small forward introduced by the Spurs this year, Jefferson is also a former All-Star player at worst. He is not only talented, but also has rich combat experience.No matter how you look at it, it is more than half a chip stronger than the replaced Gambos.This made the Spurs fans really sweat.

However, Popovich's judgment is extremely accurate.

Zheng Keshi is at the end of the mast and scull.In the first half, they kept attacking the Spurs lineup, which took a lot of energy.There has been no rest since the second half, and his physical strength is close to zero.It was the first time for him to fight a game so hard. His body was tired and his heart was even more tired. He kept fighting with all his willpower.

Parker used the cover to attack the Timberwolves' hinterland, took a small jump, and made a throw.

The Spurs led the Timberwolves by 95 points 87 to 8.

"Oh my God, the Spurs lead by another 8 points, and the Timberwolves are in some trouble." Smith looked at the score on the court and said shaking his head.

"The Timberwolves are in big trouble. After the second half, the whole team lacked touch, and the ability to chase points to the present is entirely due to Zheng Ke's excellent personal ability. I don't know what happened during the Timberwolves' intermission, but I would rather watch Look at their fighting spirit in the first half. You look at their current appearance, the defensive formation is in disarray, and the Spurs score is like picking something out of a pocket." Barkley has a bit of hatred for iron and steel. He has always Is a staunch supporter of the Timberwolves.

"Manu Ginobili came in again, layup, two plus one!" Smith exclaimed, and said: "The Spurs lead the Timberwolves by 97 points 87 to 10! This is the biggest score of the two teams so far in this game." Poor, if Ginobili makes a free throw, the point difference will expand to 11 points!"

"Come in!"

"Aaron Afflalo can defend against Kobe and Dwyane Wade, but he seems to be powerless against Ginobili. Ginobili's breakthrough rhythm and route are very strange. If you don't do it before the game Good homework, defending him is very difficult." Barkley keenly grasped a little special situation on the Timberwolves field.

Whitman turned anxiously, watching the situation on the field anxiously, thinking hard about countermeasures.

"Perhaps we should follow Zheng Ke's suggestion, simple tactics, and fight alone?" An idea suddenly popped up in Whitman's mind, but he immediately put it behind him.He slapped his head bitterly, what was I thinking?How could it be possible to win the Spurs like this?

At 1 minute, the Spurs broke through 100 points and led the Timberwolves 101-90.

Zheng Ke had an unstoppable look of disappointment on his face. He never received strong support from the beginning to the end.Whether it was the opening singles in the first half or the tactical moves in the second half, the players and coaches gave him very little help.The Timberwolves without feel are like tigers without teeth, and their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply.He really tried his best, but found that among the five starting players, only he and Billups scored in double figures, and Billups scored only 5 points.

The Timberwolves lost.

Whitman replaced the main force, as if drained of strength, and sat limply on the bench.The field has turned into a notorious garbage time.

The Timberwolves have lost two games in a row at home!

Zheng Ke covered his head with a towel in pain, and the bright light shone through the slits of the towel, which made him feel particularly dazzling.He closed his eyes, listening to the noisy target center, his mind was extraordinarily messy, thinking about some messy things without a clue.

At the end of the game, Zheng Kefu seemed to leave here.
The Timberwolves were reversed by the Spurs at home.This piece of news spread rapidly to all parts of the world like expanding ripples, and everyone's attention and eyes began to be attracted to this place.

At the post-match press conference, Zheng Ke was bombarded with questions and interviews from all media reporters.

"Can you tell me what Coach Randy Whitman said to you during the first timeout in the first half?"

"The ESPN reporter broke the news that something unpleasant happened to the Timberwolves in the first half. Are you dissatisfied with head coach Randy Whitman?"

"In the NBA playoff series, there have been 213 teams that have faced a 0-2 deficit, and only 14 teams were able to reverse and win. In the case of losing 2 home games in a row, the only team that finally came back 3 times. The Timberwolves are already on the verge of a real cliff, what do you think?"

Zheng Ke had already expected that this would be a difficult press conference.He resisted his exhausted body and answered every reporter's question one by one.No matter how sharp their questions were or how sensitive the topic was, Zheng Ke answered them all.He knows that the Timberwolves are currently in a precarious period, and any small catalyst will make this defending team fall into the sand, so he still cheers up and pretends to the reporters.

On the other side of the Spurs' post-match press conference, Popovich quietly slapped the Timberwolves with the most serious expression.

The reporter asked: "Coach Greg (Popovich), we have all seen the difference in the offensive style of the Timberwolves in the first and second half. And the reason why the Spurs were able to reverse in the second half, can you give us a specific analysis?"

"Of course." Popovich pursed his lips and said: "The Timberwolves took a personal offensive route in the first half. Zheng Ke, Billups and others all played to varying degrees. However, in the second half, the Timberwolves suddenly changed their offensive line. The method is based on the overall offense, and everyone performs their duties. You know, the Timberwolves feel very bad in the third quarter, which is the main reason why we can win this game."

Popovich rarely said so much, and he stunned the reporters by speaking so much in one breath.The reporters who knew Popovich wondered, why did the old man suddenly change his sex today?But thinking of the fact that they were able to win two games in a row at home to the Timberwolves, they were relieved, the old man was happy.

So the reporters got excited, and one by two became active, asking Popovich more questions.

"In the ESPN broadcast footage, Zheng Ke and Whitman seem to have some disagreements. What do you think of this matter?"

Popovich waited for a long time, and finally came. With a serious expression on his face, he said slowly: "I don't know what happened to the Timberwolves. But I think the head coach is the head coach of the team after all. If you are dissatisfied, at least respect should be there, and Duncan will never have this kind of conflict with me on the court.”
