The King of the NBA

"There is still suspense in this game."

"Who would have thought that the Timberwolves would play like this, and who would have thought that Ning would be so explosive after resting for a whole quarter. In just three minutes, he scored 7 points and made 3 of 5 shots."

"yes."

This situation caused people to be in an uproar. Today's game was full of suspense and excitement. From the beginning of the game, there were constant twists and turns, which made many people's blood pressure unable to drop.

Father Popovich also frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally called a timeout. Now there are 9 points left in the point difference and 9 minutes left in the game. The situation has become delicate again.

When the players came down, Popovich first made substitutions, and then began to arrange tactics.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman also made substitutions, replacing Ning Yi and Mbah a Moute with Brewer and Martin.

"You played well in the past three minutes, especially Ning, you did a good job. But you need to rest now to accumulate energy, and you will have to rely on you for the last few minutes." Adelman said, looking at the others, "Martin, Brewer, wait to see yours, try to narrow the gap as much as possible, understand?"

"Understood." Martin and Brewer nodded in unison.

Subsequently, Adelman arranged a bit of tactics.

This timeout was just a short timeout, and it passed in a blink of an eye. Players from both sides returned to the court. The Timberwolves replaced Martin and Brewer, and the Spurs also replaced Duncan.

Looking at the field, Adelman looked serious. Ning Yi played very well in the past three minutes and met his expectations, but this quarter is not just relying on Ning Yi. It is impossible for Ning Yi to play this section, not to mention whether his physical fitness can support it, even if he can, but if he plays like this, will he still have enough physical strength to deal with the possible double-teaming of the opponent in the last few minutes?

You know, Ning Yi is the key to this risky tactic.

Therefore, Adelman will not let Ning Yi play this section, and must let Ning Yi take a break in the middle.

And during this period of time, we must rely on other people, Martin, Brewer, etc., and we must rely on them to resist the opponent's offensive. If they do not perform well, everything will be useless.

The reason why this tactic is dangerous is because of this. The requirements for Ning Yi and the rest of the team are very high. If any link is not played well enough, everything will collapse.

"Whoa, whoa"

Ning Yi was panting, adjusting his breathing, and accumulating energy.

Now is the most critical moment of this game. Whether he can win is in the last few minutes, and his task is very heavy, and he will face a severe test.

"In these three minutes, the opponent just rotated the lineup and didn't double-team me. But later on, it won't be necessarily the case. The defensive strength will definitely be stronger, and they will even double-team me. They have benefited from it. This is very possible." Ning Yi murmured to himself, closed his eyes, let himself calm down, and realized the state that he touched at the beginning—the state of level 8 CIC.

The next game will be even more brutal. Ning Yi is under a lot of pressure. It's not that he is not confident enough, but that the opponent is too strong. If he just fights like this, the probability of winning is too low.

But if he can break through, maybe it will be different.

"I need a breakthrough, because only in this way can I win." Ning Yi no longer pays attention to the game on the field. What he has to do now is to experience that feeling and find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

At the same time, on the court, the fight between the two sides has become fierce.

The Spurs knew that the Timberwolves would not just give up. They felt the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the Timberwolves, so they knew very well that now is the key, the moment of victory and defeat.

For the Spurs, they must expand the point difference, not give the Timberwolves a chance to entangle, and expand the point difference to a certain extent as soon as possible to defeat the Timberwolves' fighting spirit.

Once the fighting spirit is disintegrated, the rest is simple.

As for the Timberwolves, they must narrow the gap. No matter whether they trust Ning Yi or not, they have no choice. This is the only glimmer of hope. No matter what, they must go all out.

"boom!"

Rubio made a shot, and Dion roared, grabbed the rebound, then shook it, jumped up in the crowd, and tenaciously scored the ball.

But soon the Spurs retaliated. Duncan played a single, pushed back, and then made a signature shot on the board. It seemed simple, but then there was a "swish" and the ball scored.

Here, the Timberwolves counterattacked. After a few passes, Martin went inside and caused a foul. He went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

For a few minutes, the confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the fight was so inextricable that people could almost smell the blood. Even the audience became much quieter, and the atmosphere was chilling.

This is the moment of truth.

In a few minutes, relying on Martin's performance, the Timberwolves clung to the score and further narrowed the point difference to 6 points.

This made Popovich frown and felt tricky. It wasn't that there was a problem with his tactics, or that his players didn't execute well, but that the Timberwolves played crazy and showed momentum.

This situation is not good. The Spurs originally wanted to expand the point difference and defeat the fighting spirit and morale of the Timberwolves as soon as possible, but they failed, and the point difference narrowed instead.

As a result, the situation has become anxious.

"With 5 minutes left, we lead by 6 points." Popovich glanced at the timer and scoreboard, then at Ning Yi, who was sitting in the Timberwolves' rest area, and began to make substitutions.

After this substitution, the Timberwolves' lineup became Duncan, Diaw, Leonard, Ginobili, and Parker.

On the side of the Timberwolves, Adelman's eyes widened, his face was full of fear, he muttered "almost" in a low voice, and began to change players: "Ning, you go."

"Yes." Ning Yi got up, and two rays of light burst out from his eyes, like sharp swords.

"Ning." Adelman grabbed Ning Yi and told him: "Fight according to my previous arrangement, you and Martin, you two can open fire freely, don't have any scruples."

Ning Yi nodded: "Coach, don't worry."

When the substitution was made this time, both sides fielded the strongest lineup.

Seeing the lineups of the two sides, the fans in the auditorium couldn't help but get nervous. There are 5 minutes left in the game, and the two sides are preparing for the last fight.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the game continues.

The Spurs had the ball, Parker advanced with the ball, Leonard quickly came to the frontcourt, Ning Yi also greeted him, the two looked at each other, the fighting intent collided in the air, silently, but they could be clearly felt.

"Come on, the final showdown." Ning Yi growled.

"This guy, it seems a little different." Leonard frowned slightly. He had a keen sense. At this moment, he felt that Ning Yi was a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Ning Yi gave Leonard a different feeling than before, with more oppressive force. Although he didn't know what was going on, Leonard still told himself that he must be careful, and he believed in his intuition.
