Chapter 35 Derby
Among the rookies in the 07 world, I didn't expect that the first one to become Zheng Ke's friend was not his teammate Brewer; nor his compatriot Yi Jianlian; it was actually the boss of this year, the second pick Kevin Durant.

Sometimes the friendship between men is as simple as a word, a meal or a game of ball.Durant and Zheng Ke became good friends, and the two exchanged communication information. Zheng Ke and Zeng Xiaojun, the owner of the Chinese restaurant, met each other too late. Zheng Ke promised Zeng Xiaojun to come to his Chinese restaurant often in the future.

Of course, Zheng Ke did not forget Durant's teasing before he left: "I will watch on TV how you beat the Bucks!"

So, Zheng Kechou, who was sitting on the plane, was heartbroken, how could he overthrow the Bucks?How to defeat Reed who is in full swing?How can we contain Yi Jianlian who is in full swing?
That's right, after entering December, Yi Jianlian's state seems to have improved a lot. Before that, he scored in double figures in many games. He scored 18 points and 7 rebounds against the Magic two days ago. His performance is commendable.In fact, Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is really outstanding. In terms of jumping, he is not bad compared to some black insiders, or even much better.And he also has a soft shooting touch, a good breakthrough technique and a height of 2 meters.Due to the lack of insiders in the league, it is logical that he can become the favorite of the league, and he graduated from an orthodox sports school in China. The focus on Yao Ming, but it is precisely because of this over-focus that Yi Jianlian is worried about gains and losses. Every time his performance is good or bad, the media will infinitely magnify it, which is really a headache.

In contrast, Zheng Ke took the route of attending college in the United States to participate in the draft. He is not a Chinese national athlete at all. Properly "reduced a lot, so there are some Chinese reporters around him, but most of them are local reporters from Minnesota.

Zheng Ke had never communicated with Yi Jianlian before. The two met once during the draft and had a few conversations. They were both boring people, so there was nothing to communicate with.

This time I came to the Milwaukee Bucks' home arena - the Bradley Center for training. The two met again during the pre-game training. This time, they got a lot closer than when they met at the beginning. After all, we are in a foreign country, and being able to meet fellow villagers in such a place really brings us closer.

This game is called the "Chinese Derby". Although it was a match between the bottom team in the East and the bottom team in the West, it still attracted the attention of many fans, especially Chinese fans.

The Bucks, like many NBA teams that don't know what animal to use as their team name, ended up asking fans for their opinion. In 1968, more than 14000 fans gave their answer-"Bucks"!The people of Wisconsin love to hunt deer, and the buck is a common animal in this state. This kind of creature with graceful bounce and strength is considered to be an appropriate team name.

After the Bucks joined the NBA, it took only three years to reach the top, but they have been silent for 30 years. The current Bucks have lost the glory of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robertson. They are now the same as the Timberwolves, and everyone in the league can bully them. The big teams are not even as good as the Timberwolves, because the Timberwolves sometimes break out against strong teams, but from the book point of view, the strength of the Bucks is still higher than that of the Timberwolves, especially to limit Reid's performance. This is before the game. Zheng Ke's troubled place.

In the current starting lineup of the Bucks, there are two random shooters on the outside: Mo Williams and Michael Reid. Smond - Mason, inside are two international players, 2001 No. 05 Australian Andrew Bogut and Yi Jianlian.

Before the start of the game, Whitman had already introduced the characteristics of each Bucks player in detail on the plane and in the locker room. He believed that if he wanted to beat the Bucks, he must ensure the protection of rebounds, because the Bucks’ outside Two brainless shooters will hit a lot of iron in one night, and if you want to beat your opponent, you can only curse these two shooters for "bang bang bang" all night.

Zheng Ke, as the outside defensive gate of the Timberwolves, was sent to defend the Bucks star Reid without hesitation.His current defense with the ball has reached 80, the defensive score given to him by the system has soared to 70, and the overall score has reached 65 points. In today's Timberwolves, he is not the last one. This makes Zheng Ke has been happy for a long time. From the time he was 55 to the current age of 65, he has experienced two full months, which made him feel that his efforts have been rewarded.

In fact, after the game started, Zheng Ke observed Yi Jianlian's attributes with the eyes of the sky. Yi Jianlian's overall score was a full 71. Such a high score is indeed worthy of his strength as the No. 6 pick. The bigger the worse, but today's Yi Jianlian is very confident, and his shots and breakthroughs are very spiritual.
The game started
Sure enough, the Bucks maintained their usual opening pattern, with the two revolvers firing in turn. However, to Whitman's surprise, it was Reed who was closely watched by Zheng Ke, and Mo Williams was not there. Under too much defensive pressure, he hit the iron frequently, and Reid kept hitting under Zheng Ke's defense.

Zheng Ke was indeed a little speechless. In fact, he had almost inserted his finger into Reed's eye, but Reed was still able to make a shot. In the first quarter, Reid scored 13 points on Zheng Ke's head, and made a three-pointer. 4 out of 3!When he hit the third three-pointer in a row, it directly detonated the Bradley Center, making Zheng Ke very depressed.

The Chinese media were also very depressed. Zheng Ke and Yi Jianlian did not have a direct conversation in the first quarter of the derby, and Zheng Ke and Yi Jianlian did not seem to have the slightest awareness of becoming the protagonists of the derby. Taking a "duck egg", Yi Jianlian made a shot at least once, and Zheng Ke didn't even make a shot. The reporters all cried. They took the photo of Zheng Ke and Yi Jianlian's intimate embrace that they took before the game, and thought: Could it be? The news point is only the Chinese players who communicated cordially before the game?

Fortunately, Jefferson is still very strong on the court. Yi Jianlian's "slender" body can't stand up to the strong Jefferson at all, so when Jefferson easily completed a small hook shot on Yi Jianlian's head for the third time, Xiong Deer team coach Larry Chris Kowiak quickly called a timeout, arranged for Bogut to defend Jefferson, and let Yi Jianlian defend Minnesota's short power forward Craig Smith.

In the middle of the second quarter, Zheng Ke went into battle again. At this time, the score was very tight, and the Timberwolves led 42-41 by one point.
After the second quarter, Reed's unstoppable hand feeling finally cooled down, which made Zheng Ke's livid face finally ease a little bit, after Reed threw a three-point shot, Zheng Hehe said with a sly smile: "Finally can't shoot anymore? Uncle!"

Reid raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this difficult rookie to dare to provoke him. Although he had already passed the time of youth and frivolity, he didn't mind leaving him an unforgettable memory, so he retorted: "You seem to be Haven't ejaculated yet! Virgin!"

Um? !Zheng Ke was taken aback by him. Although he knew that Reid was talking about this game and he hadn't made a shot yet, Zheng Ke felt that he was still a "virgin" secret. He seemed to have seen through him. He retorted guiltily: You're nothing!"

In order to prove himself, Zheng Ke took the initiative to run when the Timberwolves attacked this time.This surprised Telfair who was still in possession of the ball. You must know that Zheng Ke rarely took the initiative to move when attacking in the past. He usually put his energy and energy on defense, so Zheng Ke is famous for his popularity. Well, after all, who doesn't like a sapper who loves to swear and do hard work?

This time, Zheng Ke really ran out of the open space. Reid was blocked by Smith who was covering the baseline, and Telfair hurriedly passed the ball. "It's an open three-pointer from the baseline!" explained.

"brush!"

Zheng Ke calmly hit the open three-pointer. "It's not easy!" The Chinese reporters on the sidelines burst into tears. Finally, a Chinese player scored in the Chinese derby. If neither of them scored, what kind of derby is this?
Perhaps because of this ball, Yi Jianlian on the Bucks side also opened up his touch. In the last 5 minutes of the second quarter, he succeeded in two consecutive mid-range jumpers and made a tip-up at the basket. Increased to 6 points and 4 boards.

In this way, the game ended the first half in the midst of much-anticipated
