The King of the NBA

The Timberwolves will rush to the hospital after the game to visit Love.

Le Fu was lying on the hospital bed, his face was a little pale, and when he saw his teammates coming, he showed a smile: "You are all here."

Looking at Le Fu, Ning Yi felt a little uncomfortable. Although Le Fu had a smile on his face, no matter how he concealed the smile, it still seemed a little forced. Le Fu must be feeling very uncomfortable.

"Le Fu." Ning Yi called.

"Ning." Love said, "You played very well today, especially the last dunk, which was very imposing."

Ning Yi nodded. He didn't know how to say what he wanted to say. He couldn't comfort Le Fu. That would not make Le Fu happy, but would make him more uncomfortable.

Most of the strong are more willing to face ups and downs by themselves.

Martin, Rubio, and Brewer all looked at each other and sighed silently in their hearts. They didn't say any comforting words, but changed the topic and talked about some relaxing things.

Adelman, Terry Porter, and the team's staff were also here, trying to pick up some light topics so as not to make the atmosphere too depressing.

But when everyone came out of the ward, they still felt depressed.

"Love has at least three months of truce. God is so unfair to him. He has been injured for years. Otherwise, he can do better and may have become a super player."

"It can be seen that Le Fu is just forcing a smile."

"When encountering such a thing, no one can be calm and indifferent. Give him some time, he will get better. Three months is actually not a long time."

People talk.

Behind, Adelman frowned, and suddenly said: "Love has a truce, but we can't just fall down, there are many games in three months, we need to play hard, and we can't let Love down." Delman paused and emphasized his tone, "Our goal has not changed, it is still the playoffs!"

Everyone was shocked, looked at each other, and nodded in unison: "Yes, although Love is injured, our goal has not changed. We want to make it to the playoffs."

"We want to keep the top eight in the West and wait until Love comes back."

"For happiness."

"For the team."

The voices of the crowd became louder and louder, and each one's eyes were bright, bursting out with blazing light.

Adelman nodded, and said: "Okay, you go back first." After sending everyone away, Adelman looked at Terry Porter and the rest of the coaching staff, "Everyone has to work hard today, we have to make a decision as soon as possible. Lineup adjustments."

"Um."

"yes."

A group of coaching staff responded that Love's injury had too much impact on the team. They must re-plan and adjust the lineup to minimize the impact of Love's absence.

Only in this way can they keep the top eight in the West.

That night, Adelman and the coaching staff stayed up almost all night, analyzing the current situation of the team, the technical characteristics of each player, etc., as well as how to combine them, plus tactical adjustments, to discuss.

Until the next morning, they only came up with a rough plan.

"Okay, you guys go back to rest too." Adelman got up and sent everyone away, but he stayed behind, reopened last night's materials, and began to think again.

After a few minutes.

With a click, the door was pushed open.

Adelman looked up and was taken aback: "Terry, why are you back again?"

"Aren't you leaving too?" Terry Porter sat down and said, "I knew you must still be busy. If you need me, come on."

"Hehe." Adelman smiled happily, and threw a bunch of materials to Terry Porter, "You read these again, I think it needs to be revised."

Terry Porter nodded, and the two continued to work.

It wasn't until two hours later that it was already bright, and Adelman and Terry Porter stopped.

"Is it so late?" Adelman glanced at his watch.

"It's not late, it's still morning." Terry Porter smiled and said, "Let's go, I can hardly keep my eyes open."

The two left.

In the afternoon, the team practiced.

The game against the Heat ends on the 7th, the Timberwolves will challenge the Pistons away on the 10th, they will fly to Detroit on the 9th, and they will stay in Minneapolis on the 8th.

A group of players arrived one after another. After a period of free training, Adelman, Terry Porter and others arrived.

Seeing that the coaches all had dark circles under their eyes, Ning Yi and the others were taken aback, but soon understood, they couldn't help being in awe, and everyone shouted in unison: "Hi, coach."

The sound was loud enough, and Adelman didn't have enough sleep. He was taken aback by them, and even waved his hands: "Okay, what are you doing so loudly?"

Ning Yi and his teammates looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Let me tell you something." Adelman said: "Now that Love is injured, our lineup must also be adjusted, especially the starting lineup."

Hearing this sentence, a group of substitute players all raised their ears. The absence of Love means that one of the substitute lineup will be mentioned in the starting lineup. Once in the starting lineup, even if it's just a supporting role, it's better than a substitute.

But who is it?

Martin, Rubio, Pekovic, and Brewer are in a calm mood, because they are the starters, but they are also very curious, who will be mentioned in the starting lineup?

Adelman's eyes swept over the substitutes, and finally stopped on Ning Yi: "Ning, during the absence of Love, you will start first. You will still play the 3rd position, and Brewer will play the 4th position. .”

Ning Yi was shocked, his heart was ecstatic, and he repeatedly agreed: "Yes, thank you coach."

"Don't thank me." Adelman said: "This is not my decision alone, it is a decision made after discussion by the entire coaching staff, and you have worked hard to get it."

"Thank you coaching staff." Ning Yi immediately changed his words.

Adelman couldn't laugh or cry, and was amused by Ning Yi.

Martin, Rubio, Pekovic, and Brewer nodded to Ning Yi. It was not surprising that Ning Yi was mentioned as a starter. They all took it for granted, because Ning Yi's ability is there.

Getting into the starting lineup does not depend on qualifications, but on ability.

If another player is mentioned as the starter, the Martins will not say anything, but they may not agree in their hearts. But Ning Yi played the starter, and they had no objection.

"really."

"It's really him."

"well"

On the side, a group of substitute players had different expressions.

Ning Yi was mentioned as the starter, and they are still substitutes. A group of people will inevitably lose their minds, but like Martin and others, they are not surprised.

Ning Yi's performance during this period is obvious to all, and it is normal for him to be the starter.

Subsequently, Adelman began to explain the new tactics, lineup adjustments, tactics also need to be adjusted, not only the tactics of the starting lineup need to be adjusted, but also the rotation lineup.

Originally Ning Yi was a very important part of the rotation, but now that he mentions the starting lineup, the rotation is also missing a link, and it needs to be adjusted to make up for it.
