The King of the NBA

Now Ning Yi's strength is already good, but not enough, at least not enough for him to achieve his first goal, it is difficult to beat Rudy Gay.

Ning Yi's goal is to defeat Rudy Gay, so it is not enough to just break through level 8 in the CIC, and it needs to go further, such as breaking through to level 9 in the CIC, or making some breakthroughs in other aspects.

"Shua!"

Another hollow hit, Ning Yi stopped.

Martin, Rubio and others gathered around, and Dion said excitedly: "Ning, your All-Star votes have increased a lot, and you are almost catching up with Anthony Davis."

"Really?" Ning Yi was overjoyed. Who doesn't want to be an All-Star, and he is no exception. He didn't pay much attention to it before because he thought it was impossible, but now it's different.

Now Ning Yi is already sixth in the frontcourt in the West, only two or three players away from the third in the frontcourt in the West.

"How many votes?" Ning Yi asked.

"170,000 votes, 60,000 votes less than Anthony Davis." Dion said.

The further you go, the bigger the gap between the number of votes between adjacent nouns, but Ning Yi only had 140,000 votes a day ago, and now it has reached 170,000 votes. Seeing that there is still a big gap, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, catching up is not a big problem.

Of course, the premise is that Ning Yi must maintain a good enough performance.

After a while, Adelman arrived.

Tomorrow is going to play against the Grizzlies, Adelman first gave everyone a brief introduction, and then began to make some adjustments in tactics.

This adjustment is mainly aimed at Ning Yi.

Originally, Ning Yi was the team's main scorer and an important part of the team, but this time against the Spurs, his performance made Adelman very satisfied, so Ning Yi's importance was further enhanced, and he was encouraged tactically. tilt.

Adelman doesn't care whether Ning Yi is a rookie or not, as long as Ning Yi plays well and can help the team win, he dares to use Ning Yi, and still reuses it.

In this adjustment, Adelman rearranged some tactics, around Ning Yi's tactics.

Moreover, his requirements for Ning Yi have also been further improved, not only that Ning Yi can score, but also that he can organize offenses, protect rebounds, and improve defensive capabilities.

This is a strict requirement for Ning Yi, and it is also a kind of exercise for him. Adelman just wants to know, where is Ning Yi's limit?

The next day, the Timberwolves played away against the Grizzlies.

In addition, the Timberwolves carried the momentum of defeating the Spurs in the previous game. Under the ebb and flow, the Timberwolves had the upper hand from the beginning of the game.

Ning Yi's hand feeling today is not as hot as the previous game, but it can be regarded as a normal performance. After all, his strength has improved a bit, even if it is not an extraordinary performance, it will not be disappointing.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by 7 points and Ning Yi scored 6 points.

Entering the second quarter, the Grizzlies tried to counterattack, but the effect was not good, that is, Mike Conley hit two consecutive three-pointers, which once narrowed the score, but then the Timberwolves responded. Ning Yi made a three-pointer, and Martin Score a layup. Driven by the two, the Timberwolves quickly stabilized the situation and further expanded the point difference.

On the sidelines, Adelman nodded secretly. Ning Yi's growth has exceeded his expectations, especially Ning Yi's ability to adapt. The tactics that were rearranged yesterday, he can play well in this tactical system today Shuiqi, this is something that ordinary players can't do.

In this game, Ning Yi's importance in the team has further increased, almost catching up with Martin.

Of course, Ning Yi's performance did not disappoint. Even though he was not as explosive as the previous game, he played well. When the halftime ended, he had already scored 13 points.

Entering the second half, Ning Yi's hand feeling declined.

However, he began to play in organizing offense and rebounding, sending consecutive wonderful passes and assisting his teammates to score.

After a few minutes, Ning Yi scored another 4 points, plus 3 assists and 2 rebounds. His personal data became 17 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.

When the three quarters were over, the Timberwolves had led by as many as 18 points.

Ning Yi scored 21 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and scored 20+ again.

After the game, the Timberwolves rushed to Boston non-stop to face the Celtics back to back.

Continuous away games, plus back-to-back games, the Timberwolves did not perform well, even Ning Yi did the same. He only scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists in this game, and the Timberwolves also lost the game.

At the end of this game, the Timberwolves ended their road trip and had a few days of rest.

When Ning Yi returned to Minnesota, Downey immediately came to him.

"Ning, both Pepsi and Coke are in a hurry and are urging to sign a contract with you." Downey said with a smile, "Also, both Pepsi and Coke have increased their prices."

Ning Yi nodded, not surprised.

He performed very well in these few games, especially the one against the Spurs. He was almost a savior, turning the tide and killing the Spurs with three points.

After these few games, Ning Yi's popularity has skyrocketed, and his strength has also been recognized by people. Of course, Coke and Pepsi have to worry.

"Ning." Downey opened the folder, took out a document, and said, "This time, both Coke and Pepsi have increased their prices, so Coke will not talk about it. They insist that they will sign for at least two years. Pepsi agreed The contract is only signed for one year, and the contract amount is 4 million U.S. dollars.”

"4 million." Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, which has increased a lot.

Downey smiled and said: "You played too well these few games, too good. You don't know how many companies have called me these days and want to invite you to speak for them." Ning Yi is so popular now that he can almost Comparable to Jeremy Lin at the time of Lin Madness, Pepsi is inevitable for him, and it is not surprising to add hundreds of thousands.

Ning Yi is very satisfied with the Pepsi contract. It is only signed for one year and is worth 4 million US dollars. It is very sincere.

"Donnie." Ning Yi said: "You inform Pepsi to sign the contract in the next few days, just as I have time these few days."

"Okay, I'll notify the other side later." Downey smiled. This is a 4 million contract.

Later, Downey contacted Pepsi and conveyed Ning Yi's meaning. Pepsi immediately gave a recovery, and the signing time was set for the day after tomorrow.

That's how things settled down.

Meanwhile, a plane landed at Minneapolis Airport.

This is a flight from Huaxia, almost all of them are from Huaxia, and two of them are very eye-catching, both in suits and leather shoes, about forty years old, always arrogant.

These two people are the people sent by the Basketball Association to contact Ning Yi - Zhang Hu and Song Liancheng.
