The King of the NBA

In the first round, Ning Yi and Guy scored one each. Although it was only one round, everyone could see that the two were fighting for each other.

A fan sighed: "Gay is now facing Ning. Ning has improved too fast. It has only been two or three months, but his improvement is enough to compare with others' improvement in a year or two, or even longer. Perhaps it was because he felt Ning's progress that Gay confronted Ning at the beginning of the game."

"Of course." On the side, another fan said: "If Ning is still as good as he was in the preseason, Gay will not have any interest in competing with him."

People were talking and excited.

In fact, there is no grievance between Ning Yi and Guy. The reason why they are facing each other is completely out of a desire to win. Ning Yi regards Guy as his first goal to surpass. I feel the threat of being surpassed. Therefore, it can be said that the two are fighting against each other, which can be said to be instinct.

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, but no one will back down.

"Being very serious from the beginning, Ning Yi and Guy are going to fight today." Yao Ming frowned, muttered something in a low voice, looked at Ning Yi, "Come on."

On the field, the game continues.

After the first round, the two sides entered a regular state. In the next one or two minutes, both sides scored a goal, but the game was not intense, and they were still trying.

After all, this is the first regular season match between the two sides this season.

Of course, this is also because Ning Yi and Gay didn't make a shot in these one or two minutes. They didn't play singles, or they didn't have good singles opportunities. The Raptors' defensive system has initially achieved results and does not rely on personal defense. He is an experienced player, knowing that at this time, the collective should be the most important thing, and he did not blindly compete with Ning Yi.

The same is true for Ning Yi. The opponent's defensive system is consciously targeting him, so that he does not have a good chance to play singles, and he is not in a hurry.

Soon, after three minutes of the first quarter, the two sides came and went, winning and losing each other. They played in a straight line. Except for Ning Yi's three-pointer at the beginning and Gay's 2+1, there was nothing outstanding. , The score is similar, the Timberwolves lead by 1 point.

But after three minutes, the two sides began to take the rhythm, trying to bring the opponent into their own rhythm of the game.

If you want to take the initiative in a game, the most important thing is to control the rhythm of the game. As long as you can control the rhythm of the game, you can almost determine the trend of the game.

So both sides are trying to bring the game into their own rhythm.

"The ball." Martin took the ball, accelerated in disguise, took two steps forward, then passed the ball to the outside line, and gave it to Rubio. Rubio also broke through with the ball, hitting the right side of the basket, attracting the defense, and then A ground-up pass sent the ball through the gap and into the hands of Brewer who cut in from the other side, and Brewer dunked.

Then the Raptors also returned one. Lowry and his teammates made a pick-and-roll, raised his hand and made a three-pointer, which also hit.

Moreover, Lowry's three-pointer tied the score.

"draw."

"Yeah, back to the same starting line again."

People are talking about the Timberwolves offense.

After Rubio arrived in the front court, he gave the ball to Martin. Ning Yi ran back, passed by Martin, took the basketball from Martin, tapped his foot forward, and then quickly retracted it. Before Guy posted it, he directly Just a jump shot.

Swish!

The ball was shot quickly, but it pierced the net with precision.

Guy frowned, and Ning Yi scored another goal, but this is not the point, the point is that Ning Yi's shot speed is too fast, unless he is in front of Ning Yi, as long as he gives Ning Yi a little space, he will be able to make a shot.

But Ning Yi feels very good today and can always invest.

"You have to stick to him, don't give him a chance to catch the ball, try to interfere and limit him." Guy secretly thought, changed his strategy, and stuck to Ning Yi like a piece of brown sugar.

Seeing this situation, Coach Casey on the sidelines gestured towards the field, indicating that the focus of defense should be on Ning Yi. Originally, Coach Casey's arrangement was to guard against Martin or Ning Yi. As for which one to defend strictly, it depends on the situation on the field. At this moment, Guy has made a choice, and the others should naturally cooperate.

What's more, in the past few minutes, Ning Yi's lethality is not small.

Another Timberwolves attack.

Ning Yi ran back and tried to get the ball, but he couldn't get rid of Guy, and Rubio's ball couldn't be passed. Then Ning Yi tried two more times, but still failed. Although Gay was thrown away that time later, the receiving route was cut off by DeRozan, and the ball in the hands of his teammates still couldn't pass.

"Don't let me get the ball, will you isolate me?" Ning Yi frowned, "This is not good for me or the team, and we must break the game."

This is the tactic of the Raptors, and Ning Yi must break the game and not let the opponent succeed, otherwise not only will he be restricted, but the team will also fall into a disadvantage.

After all, this is a five-person sport. Without Ning Yi's participation, the Timberwolves are equal to four against five.

What's more, Ning Yi is still the team's second-leading scorer. If he is restricted, then the Timberwolves' offense will have big problems. The Raptors have two guns in the backcourt, as well as Rudy Gay, and there are Valanciunas and Johnson inside, with a balanced strength. In comparison, the Timberwolves will inevitably fall into a disadvantage.

In fact, from the perspective of the lineup, the Timberwolves are at a disadvantage. If they want to win, everyone must play well, especially Ning Yi and Martin, which are indispensable.

On the sidelines, Adelman also saw the clues. He asked for a substitution, replaced Rubio with Barea, and then gestured to the Timberwolves players on the field to change tactics.

In this way, Ning Yi will play as a playmaker.

"The opponent wants to strangle Ning to death. If he does not hesitate to pay the price, it is indeed not easy for Ning Yi to score. Even if he can, it will definitely not be easy." Adelman is very clear that under this situation, Ning Yi cannot be restricted. Break the game, but you can't just rely on scoring, the opponent is guarding against this.

You have to rely on scoring to break the game, which is too difficult.

So Adelman replaced him with Barea. Barea is capable of scoring and can make up for offensive firepower. At the same time, let Ning Yi play the point forward. You can't just rely on scoring to break the game, so add the pass!

Regarding Adelman's intentions, Ning Yi naturally understood. He nodded at Adelman, exchanged glances with his teammates, entered the state, took the ball in the backcourt, and advanced to the frontcourt without haste. Dribble the ball with one hand while directing teammates to move. Guy rushed forward, opened his hands, and stared at Ning Yi.

"Huh." Ning Yi let out a mouthful of foul air and gestured, "Pick and roll."

The next moment, Ning Yi started
