Chapter 71(1/2)
Chapter 71 Seventy-one Nine Heavens of Moon
Although Wang Kai passed two wonderful stories in a row, he felt uncomfortable because he was defended by the Timberwolves like a wild beast in a cage, and there were not many things he could do. He could only dance with shackles in a limited space. Wang Kai didn't like this feeling.
In Wang Kai's heart, he wanted to break through the forest defense and break the suffocation feeling in his heart.
However, Wang Kai did not find any good opportunities from beginning to end, and the scores of the Kings and the Timberwolves rose alternately. The scores of the two teams were unable to be widened, and they reached the last two minutes of the third quarter.
Wang Kai finally found an opportunity. After all, the offense is still proactive, and even the strictest defense is still negligent.
When Wang Kai ran to the bottom line this time, the Timberwolves' pursuit was obviously slower, just a little bit. Wang Kai received a basketball passed from one side. After receiving the ball, Wang Kai's first move was to pretend to pass the ball to the inside.
Because the Timberwolves surrounded and intercepted Wang Kai in front, Wang Kai passed the ball a lot, so Wang Kai made a pass move. The defensive player who pounced on the Timberwolves was immediately stunned, just when the Timberwolves' defensive player was stunned.
Wang Kai broke through the opponent, but just when Wang Kai passed by one, another player who assisted in defense chased Wang Kai. All Wang Kai's changes were useless. He could only rush hard, activate the gravity muscles and hit Gomez hard, and suddenly knocked away Gomez.
Wang Kai also barely stumbled to break through to the Timberwolves' basket, but at this time the Timberwolves' defense was in place.
Al Jefferson came up and wanted to stop Wang Kai. Wang Kai was stumbling and was also quick to learn. He hugged the basketball with both hands while walking, and then pointed to the right again, making a fake pass.
Wang Kai re-used the same trick. Unexpectedly, Al Jefferson was also very nervous and was shaken by Wang Kai.
Wang Kai got such a moment of opportunity and got up and prepared to make a layup with his left hand. After being shaken by Wang Kai, Al Jefferson also understood that he had taken a fake move. He hurriedly turned around to block the block, but his blocking hand happened to hit the ball in Wang Kai's hand.
Wang Kai's layup basketball was suddenly lost, but it was not completely lost. Although Al Jefferson missed the ball in Wang Kai's hand, the tip of Wang Kai's fingers still touched the basketball.
Seeing that the basketball was about to lose control, Wang Kai tried his best to control his fingers under the basket as hard as possible.
When Wang Kai pointed the basketball towards the basket, he had some confusion and of course he also had the foundation of physical coordination at high speed.
"brush!"
Wang Kai, a ball that looked like he was about to lose his hand, was thrown into the Timberwolves' basket.
Jefferson was stunned for a moment, because he clearly felt that he had encountered basketball just now. But the result is that Wang Kai scored a layup.
At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded, giving Jefferson a foul. Wang Kai actually broke through the two Timberwolves first. Then he made a layup on Jefferson's head and got a 2+1.
As a result, Wang Kai felt that a lot of anger in his chest suddenly came out. After scoring, he fisted and roared at the photographer.
Wang Kai finally let out a sigh, but it did not have much impact on the format of the two teams. The Kings and the Timberwolves were still in a stalemate until the end of the third quarter, and the difference between the two teams was only 2 points.
The two teams bit tightly, so in the fourth quarter, Siames did not let Wang Kai rest, but directly sent Wang Kai to the court.
This is easy to understand in Siames. If the situation is critical, Wang Kai should be used. However, as soon as Wang Kai stepped onto the court in the fourth quarter, he immediately became a little difficult.
Because Wang Kai saw that if the situation continued to be so stalemate, Siames might have to make him play in the fourth quarter. Wang Kai also saw some clues about Siames's employment standards. Wang Kai could also support his physical strength in the fourth quarter.
But now there is another problem. In the first quarter, Wang Kai wasted an opportunity to use gravity muscles, and in the third quarter, Wang Kai used another opportunity to use gravity muscles. Now Wang Kai only has one chance to jump cheetah in his hand.
But the cheetah bounces for 6 minutes, but there are 12 minutes in one quarter, and the gap is still very big.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Kai was very hesitant about whether to activate the cheetah muscles. After thinking for a long time, Wang Kai made up his mind to persevere first. Isn’t he strictly guarding himself if he doesn’t attack the Timberwolves now?
You run back and forth empty-handedly. Once the opponent doubles the team, you will find an opportunity to pass the ball. See when the team can't hold on anymore. You really need to jump out and activate the Cheetah bouncing ability by yourself.
Wang Kai's plan was so planned, but in the fourth quarter, Al Jefferson suddenly lost the feeling of playing basketball.
After using more pick-and-roll and empty cuts, Al Jefferson's attack suddenly became watered.
At the beginning, the Timberwolves ran a high cover, and Jefferson received the basketball at the waist. This position was indeed a bit far away for ordinary power forwards, but after receiving the basketball, Jefferson immediately controlled the ball and shook the bottom line, and then cut directly into the middle.
Jefferson forced his way through the middle, and Mickey Moore's defense stood firmly against Jefferson. Jefferson didn't squeeze out Moore at all. Jefferson was still far from the basket, just a little bit below the free throw line.
But at this position, Jefferson actually got up and threw a throw shot. At such a long distance, Jefferson threw the basketball into the King's basket.
I have to admire Jefferson's attack distance as far as the many power forwards. There is nothing wrong with Mickey Moore's defense, but this still allows Jefferson to shoot easily.
Jefferson was very active. Fortunately, Martin on the Kings rested for so long in the third quarter and became active in the fourth quarter.
The Timberwolves' defense was just a little bit like assisting in defense of Wang Kai, so Martin immediately ran out to an open position. Yuduli passed the ball, and Martin simply made a mid-range shot.
Martin came up, and the help to the Kings was really huge. In the third quarter, the Timberwolves killed Wang Kai, the King's attack was a bit difficult. But now as soon as Martin appeared, once the Timberwolves died, Martin could get points immediately. The Timberwolves killed Wang Kai's tactics were a bit ineffective. However, Jefferson's performance in the fourth quarter became active, so the two teams remained at a balanced level.
Wang Kai was also enduring it, watching the time pass by little by little, and waiting for the cheetah bouncing in the last 6 minutes.
Wang Kai was thinking well here, but in the 4th minute of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves suddenly started another attack.
Moreover, this wave of attacks was very strange. When I thought about the relatively rough tactical Timberwolves, they actually played rigorous cooperation.
After halftime, the Timberwolves first passed the ball to Al Jefferson. Jefferson squatted in the horn position and waited for support. Terfer moved to the weak side to support, and at the same time, Gomez and Ratliff made a top-down screen run with Ratliff on the strong side. When the Kings' defensive attention was focused on the bottom line, Fery ran up from the bottom line and used Ratliff's cover to catch the basketball at the free throw line.
At this time, the King's defense was torn apart, and some were taken to the bottom line on the weak side where Al Jefferson and Terfel were on. As a result, the King's middle lane was exposed, and Fery dribbled the ball to the basket in one step. When Wang Kai came to defend, Fery drifted sideways and scored two points on Wang Kai's head.
Wang Kai felt a little uncomfortable when he was scored on his head. If he had any of the cheetah bouncing and gravity muscles, the opponent would not have scored so easily. Wang Kai was a little ready and couldn't help it.
The Timberwolves ran out of such a rigorous and complex attack, which was really beyond the king's expectations.
The commentator at the scene, Reggie Miller, couldn't help but say in the commentary seat: "Is this still the Timberwolves? Is this simply Larry Brown's team? Does the Timberwolves also have to play complex positional battles, which is not suitable for young people!"
When Miller was so amazed, Siames couldn't stand it anymore. He jumped up from the bench and shouted at the stadium: "People show some skills and let them see!"
Siames shouted like this, just to let the King play more carefully. The Kings are indeed of average quality, but they inherited Princeton's most gorgeous tactical system. Although these people can't play the full power of this system now, the gorgeous tactical system is still much better than ordinary teams.
The king's group understood Sius's meaning and immediately showed off his skills. Brad Miller also supported him at a high position. On the outside, Yuduri and Martin crossed around Miller and crossed over.
The Kings didn't take too much effort, and Martin had an open position. Miller passed the ball quickly. When Martin broke through in the middle, he passed the ball towards the bottom line. Wang Kai at the bottom line happened to be an open position, which was an opportunity for a three-pointer.
But Wang Kai's three-pointer was really average. Once he made a move, he would have a good chance of getting into the three-pointer with an open position.
Wang Kai had continuous problems here, and he failed to defend and scored three-pointers. Wang Kai himself couldn't help it and wanted to activate his ability.
Just when Wang Kai was upset, Martin came over and photographed Wang Kai: "Don't care! You have to invest if you have a chance, confidence is the most important thing!"
Martin is good at long-range shooting. He knows that confidence is very important for long-range shooting, so after he said this, Wang Kai also relaxed a little bit.
The Timberwolves succeeded on both offense and defense in a row, and the crazy energy that belonged to the young team came up a little again.
After rushing to the Kings' half, Gomez used a cover from Ratliff to rush directly to the King's basket from the wing. Gomez forced his way to the King's basket, and Martin went to attack with Wang Kai on one side, and the two of them stretched out their arms to press Gomez's layup.
However, Gomez was actually suppressed by Wang Kai and Martin, but he forced his hands to keep it in the air and threw the basketball into the king's basket.
Gomez actually forced a layup to score! After scoring, Gomez also seemed particularly excited, repeatedly hitting his chest and high-five with his teammates. The Timberwolves' momentum was rising sharply, and the King originally wanted to attack again on the position and get back.
But in the Timberwolves' half, Wang Kai actually had problems again, and he did not make a free throw shot.
Wang Kai missed the shot, and the Timberwolves turned around and ran a fast attack immediately. Terfer made a layup in the middle, dodged in the air, avoided the Kings' defense and easily made a layup with both hands, and scored two more points.
Almost in a flash, the Timberwolves scored 6 points in a row. The difference between the two teams was originally bitten very hard, but now once the difference is widened, it gives people the feeling that the Timberwolves' momentum is rising, and the King is not going to do it.
Wang Kai was also very upset for about a minute. He missed three-pointer, failed to defend, and lost the middle distance. This feeling made Wang Kai feel that he had become the team's sinner and was very uncomfortable. At this time, Reggie Miller in the commentary seat also added fuel to the fire and said in the commentary seat: "Look, I said Wang Kai's long-range shot is not good. He is a fatal weakness. Without long-range shots, it will greatly affect his integration into the team!"
Once Wang Kai performed poorly, Miller would have a remark.
Siames also saw Wang Kai's poor performance on the other hand. After hesitating, Siames made a great decision but still did not replace Wang Kai.
Siames is still very superstitious about Wang Kai's role in the counter-trend. In Siames' memory, Wang Kai never disappointed him when the team was against the counter-trend.
Wang Kai is indeed a little painful now, and he endured it very sad, but fortunately there are only a few dozen seconds left before the last six minutes of the game.
After the Timberwolves led by 6 points, the Kings finally began to exert overall strength, with tighter defense and more tacit understanding on the offensive end. However, these 6 points were not so easy to catch up. In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, the score between the two teams was still 97; 91, the Timberwolves led by 6 points ahead of the Kings.
At this time, the Timberwolves' ball rights were still there, and everything seemed to be beneficial to the Timberwolves, but at this time, Wang Kai looked at the timer and smiled quietly. He activated his cheetah's ability to speed up the veil.
As the moment the ability was opened, blood like fire flowed all over the body. This feeling was like a butterfly spreading its blood-filled wings for the first time, like a wave of electric current flowed all over the body. This was power, extraordinary energy, and it also made Wang Kai feel peaceful inside. Blood was burning in his body, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
From the fourth quarter, Gomez and Fury were very active. This part was attributed to their improvement in their condition, the team's tacit cooperation, and partly to Wang Kai who really gave them a lot of opportunities without using their abilities.
Now the Timberwolves ran over again, and Fury took Wang Kai and ran along the baseline for half a circle, using Al Jefferson's defense. Fury ran out and received the basketball and made a jump shot directly.
Whether in the first quarter, third quarter, or even fourth quarter, Fuye did several such actions. At that time, Wang Kai had no choice but to do anything, because Wang Kai's own bounce and speed could not limit the opponent's rapid running and attacking method of taking the ball.
But in the fourth quarter, Wang Kai is no longer Wang Kai in the first three quarters. Fuye thought he was very safe in this attack method.
In Wang Kai's eyes at this moment, this was a ball that was given to his hands.
Foye started to jump first, Wang Kai was a little late, but when Foye was completely kicking off the basketball, Wang Kai had already reached the highest point. Wang Kai jumped like a bird, stretching freely in the air, and there was nothing to stop his human body from flying in the sky.
The basketball that Fuye threw was shot by Wang Kai with one hand and then stopped in the air. With a little help from the other hand, Wang Kai actually grabbed the moon in the air and took off Fuye's shot.
In the previous section, Wang Kai made consecutive mistakes and missed the shot. Just when Miller complained to Wang Kai again, the Timberwolves began to despise Wang Kai. Wang Kai suddenly jumped out and came to capture the moon in the air.
Suddenly, the entire Timberwolves' stadium was filled with sighs. Blocking shots was common, but there were not many such as the moon in the air that could be seen in the entire league in a season. So when Wang Kai's move came out, he was shocked. Even Reggie Miller couldn't help but scream: "It's beautiful to take off the hat in the air, so beautiful!"
Drexler shouted even more excitedly: "Wang Kai did not show his bounce ability in the whole game. Now it finally appeared, it finally appeared!"
The two people in the commentator's seat were exclaiming, the fans were amazed, and the Kings' substitute jumped up from the bench.
Siames' heart was also dancing. Wang Kai, Wang Kai really didn't let him down. His performance finally came!
Now Siames' heartbeat, all the fans who saw this action through TV broadcast suddenly started to beat. It was so perfect and so beautiful. She hugged the moon in the air. Perhaps in the past many years, everyone even forgot who was the opponent in the game. But fans will definitely remember this air-loving moon in the air, which is like a dream and hallucination.
The basketball he threw was captured by the moon in the air, and he became the background so simply. At the first moment, Ferye was a little unbelievable, because he hadn't shot like this before, and he had nothing to do with it. Now why is he being captured by the moon in the air in the air at once? This made Ferye unable to understand at all, so for a moment, the victim Ferye was a little stupid, unable to think or move.
After Wang Kai captured the moon in the air, he also quickly passed the ball to Yuduli. He ran empty-handedly while making a roar.
The patient half was finally able to play. Wang Kai roared out in this life, and his resentment and evil spirits burst out.
The King's teammates also knew that the active Wang Kai was back, so Yuduli waited for a while when he saw that Wang Kai had just passed the half-time court and immediately handed the basketball in Wang Kai.
Wang Kai received the basketball and quickly changed direction and approached the three-point line. Then he actually broke through directly after a shaking.
At this time, the players who assisted the defense on the Timberwolves were still hesitating whether to go over to defend Wang Kai. Wang Kai had arrived and stepped on the free throw line. Wang Kai did not take another step, but rose directly to the ground. He seemed to be a tiger crossing the mountain stream, like a soaring horse, and flew directly towards the basket.
The free throw line jumped and dunked! As soon as such a big move came out, everyone who saw the game suddenly felt hanging in the air. This is the dream of flying in basketball! At this moment, Wang Kai was not playing basketball, but creating a dream.
