The King of the NBA

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

The two sides returned to the court. The Timberwolves replaced Brewer and Dion; the Pistons replaced Smith and Jennings, and replaced Jonas Jerebko and Peyton Shiva.

Pistons attack.

Shiva advanced to the front court and quickly passed the ball to Pope. Pope moved the ball to the other side, and at the same time gestured to his teammates to let them pull the inside line away. When there was enough space inside, Pope passed the ball to Monroe. Monroe singled Dion and pushed back twice, but he didn't take much advantage.

Dion's scoring ability is average, but he is not bad when defending. He is close to Monroe, raising one hand, and the other is stuck on Monroe's waist, which makes Monroe very uncomfortable.

At this time, Ning Yi also rushed over to help Dieng defend.

Seeing this situation, Monroe knew that there was no way to play, so he could only pass the ball outside and give it to Jerebko. Ning Yi also moved at the same time, returned to the front of Jerebko, opened his hands, and stared at him coldly.

Ning Yi's defense has always been criticized by people, but many people don't think about it. You must know that every time Ning Yi becomes the team's weakness on the defensive end, it is almost always against the league's top stars or superstars, such as Durant, James, Anthony, etc.

This gave people the illusion that Ning Yi's defense was poor.

But in fact, after these months of hard work, Ning Yi's defensive ability has improved a lot. Although he still can't defend against those first-class stars, it is not a problem to face players like Jerebko.

What's more, Dion is cooperating with him. The two of them have a good understanding. Ning Yi knows when to help Dion defend and double-team, and when Dion can be defended, he should rush in to grab rebounds; Know when to help Ning Yi defend, when to help Ning Yi pick and roll.

"Damn." Jerebko tried twice, but couldn't break through Ning Yi's defense, feeling a little annoyed.

At this time, Pope had rushed over and yelled at Jerebko: "The ball." Jerebko held the ball for too long, wasting too much offensive time, and Dion had already rushed over.

From the corner of Ning Yi's eyes, he saw Dion approaching, and a cold light burst out of his eyes, and he shouted: "Teaming."

The next moment, Ning Yi and Dion rushed to Jerebko together. Jerebko was taken aback, and then remembered to divide the ball, but it was too late, Ning Yi and Dion came and surrounded him.

Not far away, Pope was in a hurry, and while moving this way, looking for a good angle, he shouted: "Jerebko, here, pass the ball quickly!"

Hearing the sound, Jerebko wanted to cry, but he also wanted to pass it out, but the passing route was blocked by Ning Yi and Dion. And the two are still using their bodies to oppress him, further compressing his space, and the ball cannot be passed at all.

But time was running out, and Jerebko was about to violate the law, so he could only take a risk. Surrounded by the two, he jumped up vigorously, followed the sound, and passed the ball in the direction of Pope.

"careful."

"It's too late."

In the audience, people shouted.

I saw a figure rushing out, crossing the middle of Jerebko and Pope, breaking the ball with a "snap", and then rushing towards the Pistons half-court like the wind-it was Rubio!

"Good job." All the players in the Timberwolves rest area applauded loudly.

Not far away, Pistons coach Cheeks looked gloomy. Jerebko is too sticky to the ball. Since he can’t break through Ning Yi, he should pass the ball earlier. When someone double-teams you are looking for an opportunity to pass the ball. The angle at which you can pass the ball has been limited, and any fool knows that you will definitely pass it to Pope. Can this be stopped for you?

On the court, Rubio took the lead and made a three-step layup after the Pistons halftime. The score became 12:10, and the Timberwolves took the lead.

Jerebko's face was ugly, and he took a peek at the coach, and his heart thumped suddenly: "The coach is not very satisfied with me, I have to be more cautious later, and don't make any more problems."

The Pistons serve the baseline.

This time, Jerebko passed the ball as soon as he got it, and he no longer dared to stick the ball, nor did he dare to underestimate Ning Yi's defense.

After passing the ball a few times, it was given to Monroe again. Monroe played a single, leaned back and then made a turnaround hook. He failed to score, but Drummond took the rebound and went up The basket missed, but it caused a foul by Pekovic. After walking to the free throw line, he made one of two free throws and the score became 12:11.

Offensive and defensive transposition.

Rubio advanced to the frontcourt and was not in a hurry to attack.

Ning Yi is running, and Jerebko is closely following him, his eyes are sharp, and he is radiating cold air. His mistake just now was all because of Ning Yi. Now if he is defending Ning Yi, he must try his best to defend Ning Yi. Let Ning Yi get rid of himself easily, let alone let Ning Yi score easily.

Glancing at Jerebko, Ning Yi didn't care, but he noticed that the eyes of several other members of the Pistons wandered over him from time to time, staring at him.

"The opponent is guarding against me and has strengthened their defense against me." Ning Yi knew it in his heart, gestured to his teammates, and then suddenly took a step to the right.

Jerebko moved immediately.

But at this moment, Ning Yi turned around, almost turning 360 degrees against Jerebko's body, with brisk steps, like a whirlwind, and bypassed Jerebko at once.

"Not good." Jerebko screamed in his heart, and when he adjusted his steps, he was already thrown away by Ning Yi.

The next moment, Ning Yi took Rubio's pass, quickly ran to the bottom line on the left, and passed Dion. Monroe, who was originally defending Dion, had to keep up with Ning Yi. Jerebko chased over and passed Dion. He chased Ning Yi, while Dion slipped quietly to the basket.

"Whoosh."

Ning Yi passed the ball and threw it directly above the hoop. The unguarded Dion jumped up and grabbed the basketball, which was a slam dunk, full of violence.

The score was 14:11.

The point difference is not big, but Cheeks' face is very ugly, his cold eyes make Jerebko's vest feel cold, he lowers his head and dare not lift it up, but secretly scolds Ning Yi in his heart, these two goals are both Because of Ning Yi.

On the Timberwolves side, everyone's fighting spirit was high and their morale was like a rainbow.

After the Timberwolves scored two consecutive goals, Martin and Rubio also scored successively. The Timberwolves firmly held the lead, which made the Pistons players very angry. They thought they could win easily, but now they are being pressed by the opponent. It feels too tm I'm upset.

In the auditorium, the Pistons fans were also unhappy. Whenever the Timberwolves scored a goal, they booed hugely, but the more this happened, the better the Timberwolves played.

At the back, even Pekovic, who had been suppressed by Drummond, also broke out. First, he scored an offensive rebound in the interior and played a second offense. Made two free throws at the free throw line.

At this time, the Timberwolves had a 10-point lead.
