The King of the NBA

The first quarter almost became a duel performance between Ning Yi and Leonard. It was not until the end of the first quarter that the coaches of both sides changed, replacing the two, and also replacing some other main players.

Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves still led by 6 points.

This result is unexpected. You must know that this time the Timberwolves are facing the Spurs, a veteran team in the NBA, and a favorable contender for the championship. In the absence of Love, they were able to play such a performance in the AT\u0026T Center Arena. From the beginning of the game It's not easy to lead the Spurs from the beginning.

"This year's Timberwolves are really different."

"It's very different. It feels like two teams from before. But obviously the people are still those people, why is it different?"

"Who said they are still those people? Kevin Martin and Corey Brewer only joined the Timberwolves this season. Their performance is obvious to all. If it weren't for them, the Timberwolves could play so well?"

"This is true. The role of Martin and Brewer is obvious to all, especially Martin. He is the second largest scoring point for the Timberwolves after Love. His scoring ability is of great help to the Timberwolves."

"There is another person, that is Ning. Although he is only a rookie, his performance on the field and his personal data are not like a rookie at all. Especially after Love was injured, if it wasn't for Ning, Martin alone could support Are the Timberwolves coming?"

People nod.

This is a fact. The reason why the Timberwolves have improved so much this season is that the arrival of Martin and Brewer is an important factor, but Ning Yi is also a major contributor.

After Love was injured, Ning Yi scored 20+ in two consecutive games, and his role has surpassed everyone in the Timberwolves except Martin.

And this time, Ning Yi's performance was equally outstanding, and the duel with Leonard was exciting and enjoyable.

At this moment, Ning Yi is sitting on the bench, gasping for breath, and the duel with Leonard consumes a lot of his physical strength. Facing Leonard's defense, every attack, every goal, All require a lot of physical strength and energy.

However, Ning Yi was very happy, and had a feeling of carefreeness. It was hard to find such a well-matched opponent, which made him excited. At this time, he still looked at Leonard and said to himself: "This is the first quarter, wait a minute Let's go on."

Not far away, Leonard also looked at Ning Yi.

"He is very strong, not like a rookie at all." Leonard whispered to himself, he was mentally prepared before the game, but when he faced Ning Yi, Ning Yi's performance still surprised him.

It's not like a rookie.

After a while, the second quarter began.

At this time, Adelman still sent a rotation lineup, allowing Rubio to play with the rotation lineup.

Although Rubio's scoring ability is not outstanding and his shooting is not stable, there is no problem for him to organize the offense. It is much better for him to lead the rotation than Barea.

It's just that the Spurs are obviously better.

The reason why the Spurs are strong is not because of one or two of their players, but because of their system. Some players are unknown in other teams, but they can perform well in the Spurs. This is the function of the system. The Spurs system allows everyone to find themselves. They have a clear positioning, from lineup to tactics. clear definition.

Therefore, the players will not have any hesitation or hesitation when they arrive on the court. Everyone knows what to do and how to do it.

This is a system. In this system, the players form a tacit understanding, whether it is offense or defense, they can gather five people together to form a force.

It is this power that makes the Spurs extraordinarily powerful.

It has to be said that this is the strength of coach Popovich. He used an almost iron-blooded team management philosophy to build a team like the Spurs.

"Shua!"

With a soft bang, the Spurs scored another goal.

At this time, more than four minutes into the second quarter, the Spurs had already caught up with the score and led by one point.

Adelman frowned, and immediately called a timeout. When the players came down, he began to replace Martin and Ning Yi, then spread out the tactical board and arranged tactics: "We lost a lot of points in the past few minutes, didn't we Because we are too bad, in terms of individual player strength, we may not be much worse, but overall, we are indeed not as good as the opponent."

"The system, the whole, the team -- that's what's scary about the Spurs."

"Wait Martin, Ning, your task is to score. We must play our offense and score. Only by scoring continuously can we maintain our rhythm and not be led away by the opponent." Ah Delman said, with a serious face, and emphasized again, "Remember, don't follow the rhythm of the other party."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Not far away, Popovich also made a substitution, replacing Leonard and Parker.

At this time, Duncan was still sitting on the sidelines, but Ginobili was on the court. He partnered with Leonard and Parker, which was enough to ensure that the Spurs' system was not chaotic, and the plastic surgery had sufficient integrity.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

The two sides returned to the court, and Ning Yi faced Leonard again.

This time, the two didn't try it out, and started to match directly. Leonard broke out completely and showed a rare passion. Not only was he full of pressure on the defensive end, but he was also very active on the offensive end, and even seemed "alone".

From Leonard's body, Ning Yi finally felt some breath of the future "superstar".

Of course, Ning Yi is not to be outdone. From the point of view of dismissal, Ning Yi and Leonard are both smart and good at seizing the opportunity. Leonard always uses his advantage to "bully" Ning Yi, and Ning Yi always Can fight back in the way he is good at.

In addition, Martin is also in good form today, with a high shooting percentage. So far, his personal score has reached 17 points, the highest for the Timberwolves.

In the following time, the two sides had some personnel rotations, and gradually brought up the starting lineup. However, compared to Adelman's standard, Popovich seemed a little unreasonable and played his cards out of the players. The time is cut into pieces, almost every player only plays two or three minutes, three or four minutes on the court.

Generally speaking, this approach will make it difficult for players to engage in the game and will affect their performance.

But the strange thing is that today the Spurs players are able to perform as soon as they come on the court. Mr. Popovich can gain something when he replaces someone, and then he replaces him after two or three minutes, and another person comes up , and can immediately continue to fire.

The magical Popovich made Adelman very helpless.
