Chapter 181 Bloodbath Timberwolves
Halfway through the first quarter, Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders had to call a fourth timeout.
In the past period of time, the Knicks only missed one shot, made 17 of 16 shots, and scored 40 points in the half quarter, while the Timberwolves only scored 16 points on 6 of 12 shots.
Zhao Ke, as the offensive and defensive center of the Knicks, single-handedly planned this situation.
Not long after the opening, Kevin Garnett used his usual routine to break through to the basket. The next move was supposed to be a beautiful big jumper, and Garnett was ready for the next stage of beating his chest and roaring!
However, Zhao Ke, who was puzzled, threw a "no-fly" bag behind Garnett's side and slapped the basketball over his head!
Matt Harprin, who sprinkled a good amount of salt on the wound, happened to appear next to the basketball that was shot by Zhao Ke, and rushed out to snatch the basketball from a diagonal stab, like a fast-breaking tractor that "chugs and chugs" to complete the dunk!
Garnett roared, come again!
This time, he swayed past Kurt Thomas with nimble feet and slid to the bottom line for a backhand dunk, but the result was the same...
Zhao Ke threw out the second "no-fly" bag, and the basketball in Garnett's hand was heavily nailed to the backboard. The "Wolf King" lost his balance and fell to the bottom line.
Mattha Pullin picked up the basketball and ran again from an unknown corner, another passionate dunk!
"Wolf King"'s eyes were red, and twice in a row, Kevin Garnett, who was 2 meters tall, was blocked twice in a row by a 11-meter guard!
Uncle can bear it, auntie can't bear it!
The strong sense of shame made Garnett burn all over. He used a speed that did not match his height, and with exaggeratedly flexible steps, he once again passed Kurt Thomas, who was waiting in full force, jumped high, and dunked with both hands!
Zhao Ke sighed, in front of the skill pack, all appearances are false.
The third "no-fly" bag was thrown out, and Zhao Ke's palm gradually rose, over Garnett's big bald head, and slapped the basketball he had just raised above his head from behind.
Due to the strong inertia, Garnett still made dunks with both hands, and hung on the frame in order to maintain his body balance.
When Garnett jumped off the basket and ran over to find the culprit with a hideous face, the basketball had already been loaded onto the tractor by Matt Harprin and transported into the opposite basket.
At this time, Philip Sanders called the first timeout. He was afraid that Garnett, who was in a rage, would provoke Zhao Ke.
Zhao Ke has behaved well this season, but there are still legends about him in the world.
After a long timeout full of chicken soup, Garnett finally walked onto the court calmly, but there was anger in his eyes and thunder in his chest.
Next, whenever Zhao Ke held the ball, he roared and rushed over to double-team.
Doesn't this give Kurt Thomas a chance?
Zhao Ke threw the basketball to Nene, and Nene assisted Kurt Thomas to dunk the empty basket twice, and the Knicks played two-for-one inside.
Philip Sanders scratched his head on the sidelines, the timeout was called for nothing.
Seeing that Garnett rushed towards Zhao Ke without hesitation, Philip Sanders had to call another timeout.
Returning from the timeout, Garnett suppressed his anger, returned to the inside, and returned to normal.
But Zhao Ke is abnormal again!
Under the resolute double-teaming of the Timberwolves, Zhao Ke threw 6 three-pointers in a row, all of which were hit!
One is bolder than the other, and more accurate than the other!
That's not all, when Zhao Ke threw out the "Meteor" bag and the "Day Sky" bag with a 100% hit rate bonus, he also fouled Sprewell very cunningly, and scored two 3+1s. In the blink of an eye, he had already scored 20 points.
Philip Sanders was forced to call a third timeout to interrupt Zhao Ke's fiery touch.
Next, Zhao Ke stopped shooting, but the teammates who were let out began to make contributions.
Matt Halprin made 2 of 2 three-pointers and has scored 12 points.
Andre Miller's three-pointer was inaccurate. He ambushed outside the free throw line. He was a spot-up shooter for the first time. He was a little unaccustomed to it.
These scores all started from Zhao Ke's strong containment ability, and he passed to Nene in the double-team, and then Nene distributed it to the open teammates.
This 2-meter Brazilian point guard has already scored 11 assists!
This is completely different from what was expected!
A scowling Flip Sanders called a fourth timeout, what to do?
Give up double-teaming?
Then Zhao Ke will definitely score more than 50 points like cutting melons and vegetables, and send the Timberwolves to hell by the way.
Continue to double-team?
That Brazilian partner with Ke Zhao is too incomprehensible!
At this time, Kevin Garnett finally calmed down from his anger, he stood up bravely, and broke out the exclusive characteristics of "Wolf King": take care of everything, get everything done!
Garnett and the slow Slovenian center Rasu Nesterovic, who couldn't keep up with Nene's footsteps, switched defenses. King to king, you are the center and I am the center;
Just do it!
Garnett did not participate in the double-teaming of Zhao Ke. He wanted to guard against Nene. Philip Sanders seemed to see the dawn of victory.
However, when the game started again, the hungry Timberwolves found that they were wrong again!
The double-teaming tactics arranged by those two shiny-headed workaholics are far more complicated than the people who eat melons imagined:
The Knicks actually shifted the setter, and Andre Miller withdrew one meter away from the three-point line, standing there alone waiting for Zhao Ke to pass the ball.
This goal is easy to find, Zhao Ke didn't have to jump at all, he made a coquettish pass behind the back, and the ball came to Andre Miller.
Timberwolves once again caught in a dilemma, can not send Troy Hudson to guard Andre Miller, right?
At that time, Matt Halprin must be the only one who was emptied. As a white man, he was as easy to find as a firefly in the dark on this court. Zhao Ke didn’t need a setter at all, and he could assist Matt Halprin who was emptied!
Then double-team a fart!
Throughout the game, the Timberwolves seemed to be helping the Knicks to do anti-team tactical drills, constantly explaining what it means to be one foot tall and one foot high!
Knicks' rich tactical library is like Doraemon's big pocket. From time to time, he takes out some unreliable gadgets, which will always beat the enemy to the ground!
As the first passer, Zhao Ke played more and more relaxed, when to throw and when to pass, the rhythm became more and more secretive, and he became more and more skilled in cooperating with the two setters of Nene Hilario and Andre Miller, one inside and one outside.
When the game ended, the previously smug Timberwolves were bloodbathed by the Knicks with 132:80 for a full 52 points. The slogan before the game turned into a bloody slap, and the slapped Timberwolves fled back to Minnesota with their tails between their legs.
