The Roulette of Destiny Chapter 80: The coquettish six-game winning streak (Part 1) (please vote for recommendation)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After defeating the Jazz, the Kings' winning streak reached four games. Such a record naturally attracted the attention and praise of many experts.  With such a record, Zhang Weifeng's popularity has also risen. Some domestic sports sections have vaguely reported the establishment of a King's section. Of course, to reach this point, the Kings still need a long time to work hard.  After all, it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Weifeng is not as good as Yao Ming now.  On November 15th, Beijing time, the Kings¡¯ consecutive away game begins. The first stop is when the Kings will visit the home court of the Minnesota Timberwolves.  The attendance rate at the Target Center Arena is not very high. After all, this is just an ordinary regular season, and the Wolves' performance in the new season is not very good, and the fans do not have much enthusiasm to watch the game.  Since losing five games in a row at Arco Arena on the 11th, the Timberwolves have yet to taste victory.  Whether it is a six-game losing streak or the first win of the season, the game is also quite suspenseful.  Night has fallen outside, and inside the arena, more than 10,000 fans are waving flags and shouting. Amidst the overwhelming sound, the Kings rest area is filled with laughter and laughter.  Different from the tension at Wolves' home court, the game unfolded in such a contradictory atmosphere.  In the last game, the Kings beat the Timberwolves with 39 points at home. Zhang Weifeng's performance of 33 points, 23 rebounds, 6 blocks, 4 assists and 3 steals also highlighted his importance. The official website before the game gave the Kings what they want to win.  The key is Zhang Weifeng's performance.  In terms of players, Zhang Weifeng, who performed well in the last game, naturally attracted the attention of the Wolves. The defense arranged by the Wolves coaching staff was all related to Zhang Weifeng.  Ever since Wolves boss Glenn Taylor got angry, everyone from the team management to the players have been trembling with fear. After losing Kevin Garnett, the Wolves' five-game losing streak this season has already made Glenn feel uncomfortable.  No light.  Not to mention low morale, the current Wolves are still in instability.  Victory seems very far away, and the entire Minnesota is looking forward to the arrival of a victory.  But will the Kings give them a full chance?  At the beginning of the game, the coaches of the two teams lined up their troops to compete.  West's starting five are the same as they were against the Jazz. They are still center: Brad Miller, power forward: Zhang Weifeng, small forward: John Somons, shooting guard: Randy Foye, ball handler.  Defender: Raymond Felton.  Timberwolves¡¯ starting players: Center: Ratliff, Power Forward: Al Jefferson, Small Forward: Anthony Walker, Shooting Guard: Corey Brewer, Point Guard: Foy.  Only 4 days later, the two teams competed again.  Ratliff and Al Jefferson clamored to join forces to restrict Zhang Weifeng before the game, and after the game started, they did so, and Zhang Weifeng's performance was indeed not very good.  Ron Artest continues to be absent. Although facing the Wolves, which beat the Wolves by 39 points in the last game, the situation of the Kings is still not optimistic.  If Zhang Weifeng is restricted again, it will be difficult for the Kings to escape unscathed at the Target Center Arena.  The first quarter of the game was going on, and Siyous¡¯ face felt like he had been slapped hard.  His prot¨¦g¨¦, Zhang Weifeng, was restricted. In a full quarter of playing time, Zhang Weifeng failed all three attacks and grabbed 2 rebounds. The Kings also lost by 12 points at 17:29.  The defense is not in place and the offense is not strong.  The Kings seemed to be facing a disastrous defeat.  Zhang Weifeng was obviously out of shape. All the Kings players noticed this and lacked concentration on the court.  The worried Zhang Weifeng lost the terrifying energy of the "artifact", and the Wolves played much easier.  Without Artest and Zhang Weifeng, the Kings players suddenly realized that they had relied too much on this big Chinese boy in the previous games.  Thinking about it now, it is indeed inappropriate. A rookie who only played a few games has made them rely on him subtly.  The coaching staff naturally discovered these things, and after some discussion, Siyous decided to leave Zhang Weifeng off the court.  Without Zhang Weifeng in the paint, the subsequent games between the Kings and Wolves were not as mediocre as expected.  The Kings players showed their strong self-confidence, and Randy Foye showed his potential. When the team was in the quagmire, he used one three-pointer after another to bite the score.  At the end of the half, at 44:51, the Kings trailed by only 7 points. Compared with the first quarter, they moved back 5 points.  Zhang Weifeng cannot be out of form all the time. Although he was influenced by his girlfriend Bell, he also became serious when he saw that the team had been lagging behind.  In the second half of the game, Randy Foye was constantly defended by the Wolves from the beginning of the third quarter.He was violated by a member of staff, and too much physical contact made him instinctively resentful, and his touch was also damaged without a trace.  As a second-year rookie in the league, Randy Foye saw that he was out of shape and no longer forced to attack.  The Kings' offense was blocked, and the Wolves started a major counterattack. However, when they only played 4:0, Siyous wisely called a timeout.  Zhang Weifeng was replaced by Siyusi in the middle of the third quarter. He knew that his hand would not be able to recover for a while.  However, he is sure to protect rebounds and defend the inside, but someone needs to stand up offensively.  At Zhang Weifeng's request, Novak was brought to the court.  The Kings began to find some feeling of the game, and the score began to become close.  Compared with the initial sluggishness, Zhang Weifeng finally redeemed himself. At the last moment of the fourth quarter, he continuously grabbed key rebounds and hit the most critical mid-range shot.  The scores of the Kings and Timberwolves in the third and fourth quarters were 19:22 and 26:14 respectively.  In the end, the Kings narrowly defeated the Wolves 89:87 and won five consecutive games.  Zhang Weifeng's strong performance at the critical moment allowed the Kings to barely pass at the Target Center Arena, giving the Timberwolves their sixth consecutive defeat of the season.  The best player of the game was voted by local media reporters for Raymond Felton, who has been performing consistently. He made 7 hits in 13 shots, scored 21 points, and had 11 assists and 4 steals.  This is the first time Felton has won such an honor since switching to the Kings.  Zhang Weifeng played 29 minutes. Due to the impact off the court, he worked hard later and still posted a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.  The outside world doesn¡¯t know the reason for Zhang Weifeng¡¯s ¡°abnormality¡±, but who can always maintain a high level of competition? Zhang Weifeng still scored a double-double, but no one said anything about him.  At the press conference after the game, Kings coach Siyus said with emotion: "My players have tried their best in today's game, and I am proud of them. But I have to say that the Timberwolves performed better than us today."  Even better, especially the opponent's inside man Al Jefferson, he gave me the feeling that the great player was back on the court again. Although Zhang Weifeng and Ron had some changes today, they were still very happy!  We won the game.¡± The reporters in the audience were holding cameras and filming.  They all know who the great player Siyus is talking about?  Can Al Jefferson follow him and pull the Wolves out of the mire?  In this game, Al Jefferson scored a double-double with 23 points and 12 rebounds. The data cannot explain his role. He can always stand up when the Wolves need it. This is a leader. ? In contrast, no one on the Kings has done this.
