The King of the NBA

"Roar."

Drummond roared under the basket, pushed Pekovic away, jumped up and dunked with both hands, severely deforming the basket, his strength was terrifying, like a monster.

His goal helped the Pistons stabilize the situation, and the point difference became 3 points.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Ning Yi stuck up to Smith as soon as he arrived in the frontcourt, sticking to Ning Yi tightly like a piece of brown sugar, adopting man-to-man defense, and entangled with Ning Yi.

"Pick and roll." Adelman shouted on the sidelines.

Pekovic mentioned going online and made a pick-and-roll for Ning Yi. Ning Yi took the opportunity to shake off Smith, but only took two steps, and a figure flashed in front of him again, and Monroe made up for it.

Ning Yi hit two three-pointers in a row, and the Pistons had to pay more attention to him. In addition to Smith's man-to-man defense of Ning Yi, other people also paid attention to him. Once Smith was thrown off, someone would make up for him.

However, Ning Yi can't just rely on his teammates' pick-and-rolls. Seeing Monroe coming, Ning Yi started a strange footstep, a counter-run, and made a gesture to cut into the inside line, which made Monroe subconsciously take a step back. But at this moment, Ning Yi tapped his toes twice on the floor, stopped suddenly, stepped back, and returned to the three-point line.

"Ball." Ning Yi asked for the ball.

Rubio has been paying attention here, and seeing Ning Yi and Monroe distanced, he raised his hand and passed it.

Ning Yi took the ball, ignoring Monroe who was rushing forward, without hesitation, made another three-point shot, and the basketball flew out of his fingertips.

"boom!"

The ball was a little short and missed.

Monroe breathed a sigh of relief, and the Pistons fans also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the goal was not scored. If Ning Yi scored three-pointers in a row, it would be a blow to the morale of the Pistons.

"Almost." Ning Yi turned his wrist, a little regretful.

In the next minute, the two sides came and went, Brewer hit a layup, and the Pistons also hit a long two-pointer by Pope. The two sides fudged the outcome, and the point difference was still 3 points.

And at this moment, the ball came to Ning Yi's hands again.

The figure flashed, and Smith killed him, staring at Ning Yi coldly with open hands.

Ning Yi also looked at Smith, thought for a while, and with a decision, he began to break through, crossed steps continuously, and then suddenly started to break through to the left.

"Left." Smith immediately judged and moved to the right.

Seeing Smith's reaction, Ning Yi raised the corner of his mouth, showing a smile. At the same time, he turned his wrist and dribbled the ball behind his back. The ball changed from left to right.

Smith murmured "not good" in his heart, and immediately adjusted his center of gravity.

But Ning Yi didn't speed up the breakthrough after dribbling the ball behind his back, instead he took a step back.

"Why does this action look so familiar?"

"I remembered, isn't this a common move by Curry? After dribbling the ball behind his back and stepping back, Ning Yi's move is almost exactly the same as Curry's. He wants to shoot a three-pointer?"

People exclaimed.

Smith also reacted and rushed forward, but it was still a step late after all.

Ning Yi retreated beyond the three-point line, without hesitation, made another three-point shot.

"Shua!"

There was a soft sound, this time there was.

It was another three-pointer, and the Timberwolves caught up with the score.

Looking at Ning Yi who turned around and ran towards his own half, Smith looked depressed, why is he the one who is unlucky every time, did this guy do it on purpose, and ran away when he met me?

Smith was very injured, and Ning Yi was still a rookie. It was a bit embarrassing for him to be scored so many goals by a rookie.

In order not to be more embarrassing, Smith's defense became more aggressive. He almost posted Ning Yi as soon as he crossed the center line. The fans of the Pistons blushed. Isn't it a bit too much to treat a rookie like this?

Ning Yi felt that the defensive pressure was increasing, so he reduced his shots and passed the ball more for his teammates. He has enough vision of the overall situation and passing vision. When his teammates have opportunities, he can always send the ball.

When Ning Yi sent out two assists, Adelman simply replaced Rubio and let Ning Yi play the point forward. Anyway, Ning Yi had done it before.

Ning Yi actually likes this task very much, and he did a good job.

But Smith was more depressed. The fans seemed to be under his strict defense, and successfully restrained Ning, preventing him from scoring indiscriminately. But Smith himself knew that although Ning Yi did not score wantonly, his defense actually failed to restrain Ning Yi, otherwise it would be impossible for Ning Yi to send two or three assists in a row.

In a blink of an eye, another few minutes passed.

Both sides have carried out a personnel rotation. Adelman replaced Martin, Pekovic, and Brewer for the Timberwolves. Only Ning Yi remained on the court and played impressively.

At this time, seven minutes into the third quarter, the Timberwolves led by 9 points.

From being behind by 5 points to leading by 9 points, Ning Yi contributed so much that Adelman couldn't help nodding his head. Ning Yi's performance today is remarkable. This starter is really good, and he is fully worthy of the status of starter.

"beep"

After looking at the time, Adelman called a timeout and replaced Ning Yi with Rubio. Since Barea can't lead the rotation for the time being, let Rubio come.

Anyway, Ning Yi can be an organization forward and rotate with Rubio, which is also a way.

Of course, Rubio is not an offensive player, and scoring is not his strong point, but he has excellent organizational skills. Under his organization and mobilization, the rotation lineup is not bad.

After a while, the third quarter ended.

At this time, the Timberwolves led the Pistons by 10 points with 90:80.

Ning Yi is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling players in the field. He has only played three quarters, and he has already scored 18 points, plus 5 assists and 3 rebounds, ranking first in the Timberwolves in scoring.

Moreover, when entering the fourth quarter, Ning Yi's three-pointer broke out again. After being replaced in the quarter, he immediately hit a three-pointer, which shocked people. The three-pointer rain has not stopped!

Yes.

The three-point rain is still falling. After Ning Yi made a three-pointer, Martin also came. The Timberwolves started to rain three-pointers. Ning Yi, Martin, and Rubio each made three-pointers and stopped the Pistons.

Coach Cheeks looked very ugly. There were still a few minutes left in the game, but they were already behind by as many as 15 points.

Originally they were only less than ten points behind, but Ning Yi, Martin, and Rubio each had three points each, and the point difference immediately became 15 points.

15 points, this is not 5 points!

"This damn three-pointer, damn rookie." Cheeks kicked over the chair and couldn't help cursing. If it wasn't for Ning Yi and the Timberwolves' three-pointers like rain, how could the game have become like this?

With more than three minutes left and a 15-point difference, the game is basically over.
