The King of the NBA

Chapter 167 Getting Better

Ning Yi's selection into the All-Star starting lineup caused a lot of discussion, but the NBA regular season is still going on. After defeating the Warriors, the Timberwolves have successively ushered in opponents such as the Trail Blazers, Bulls, and Pelicans.

The Timberwolves can be said to be getting better now. Although the core player Love is missing, they are not bad at all, and they even have amazing performances every time. For example, they beat the Warriors in the last game, which surprised many people.

In the next three games, the Timberwolves won two and lost one, losing to the Trail Blazers, but winning the Bulls and Pelicans.

In this All-Star voting, Ning Yi experienced a lot of suffering in his heart, but also gained a lot. His running and dribbling skills made further breakthroughs, and his strength also improved by a level.

Especially the breakthrough of running position made Ning Yi even more powerful.

Originally, Ning Yi was good at shooting. Mid-range shots and three-pointers are his sharp weapons for scoring points. Both of them require the cooperation of running positions. Reasonable and flexible running positions can get more shots. Originally, Ning Yi's mid-range shot was level 8, three-pointer was level 7, but the running position was only level 6, which was a hindrance to a certain extent.

After this breakthrough, the running position has reached level 7, which is already the same as the three-pointer. Although it has not been able to match the CIC, it is not a little bit for Ning Yi's strength improvement.

The key is scoring ability.

With the improvement of running ability, Ning Yi can get more and better opportunities, and his shooting ability can be better played.

In this way, Ning Yi's scoring ability will naturally increase, and his ball-handling skills will also further break through, which will improve his breakthrough and offensive ability with the ball. Shooting, breakthrough, air cut, passing, Ning Yi can choose on the court There are more, and the style of play is more varied, which is hard to guard against.

"I can only reach level 8 in mid-range shooting now. If I can reach level 9, or even level 9 in three-pointers or passing, I am afraid it will be enough to be among the top stars?" Ning Yi has a clear understanding of his current strength The cognition of the "system" is more and more miraculous. This kind of ability to break through as long as it reaches a peak without bottlenecks is really against the sky.

Don't underestimate that Ning Yi doesn't even have a level 9 skill now. You must know that even an nba superstar can only reach level 9 with one or two skills, and the others have not reached it, but his comprehensive strength is enough to disdain the league.

That's a superstar. It doesn't seem much worse than a first-class star, but his strength is too much.

After all, when a player averages more than 20 points per game, it is extremely difficult to improve every point, much more difficult than improving from 10 points to 20 points.

So even if the score is above 20 points, the difference between 20 points, 25 points, and 28 points is not a little bit.

For example, Ning Yi, who averages nearly 20 points per game now, can he compare with superstars like James and Durant? Of course not, even worse than those first-class superstars.

Of course, as a rookie, Ning Yi is lucky enough and good enough.

Fortunately, because he has gained enough attention in the Timberwolves, enough status and shooting opportunities, and his tactics are tilted, almost equivalent to a core player, and his personal data will naturally be much better.

He is outstanding because he has sufficient strength. If he only has the opportunity, the right to shoot, and the tactical tilt, but without strength, he will not be able to achieve such a result.

Against the Trail Blazers, Bulls, and Pelicans, Ning Yi played well, scoring 17 points, 23 points, and 21 points respectively, averaging more than 20 points per game.

Coupled with his assists, rebounds, and especially his organizational skills, he was of great help to the Timberwolves. He formed a perfect rotation with Rubio and made the Timberwolves' tactical system smoother.

Such a performance also made those voices who questioned whether Ning Yi was eligible to be selected as the NBA All-Star starter a lot less.

After these three games, that is, on January 30, the NBA official website announced the list of the 2013-2014 All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge.

This list includes a total of 18 people, all of whom are first-year and second-year rookies. The personnel are: Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Harrison Barnes , Ning Yi, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jonas Valanciunas, Dion Waiters and Pero Antiche, Anthony Davis, McAway, Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke, Jared Sullinger, Mason Plumlee, Steven Adams, Kelly Olynyk and Victor Oladipo.

This list can be described as a collection of stars, but people don't think so at this time in 2013. At most, they only think that this list contains many future stars.

But Ning Yi is very clear, except for himself, this list includes Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony -Davis, Victor Oladipo, these are all stars in a few years, except for Drummond who is a rebound maniac, the others are all 20+ characters per game.

Even if it is second-class, there are Harrison Barnes, Jonas Valanciunas, Dion Waiters, Mason Plumlee, Steven Adams, etc., at least The main player of the team.

It can be said that this rookie competition is very unusual.

As for Ning Yi, he has naturally become the focus of discussion. He is the only player who wants to participate in both the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game.

"It's the rookie challenge again, and it's the All-Star race again, Ning Yi is in the limelight."

"He stole the show, but the players in the Rookie Challenge are not too happy. Wait and see, this Rookie Challenge will not be dull."

"Yes, Ning Yi will not have a good time."

The outside world is talking.

This is not groundless, the participants in the rookie challenge are all rookies in the first and second grades, they are all young people, who is not competitive? Ning Yi, a failed draft pick, is so prominent, can they not be envious?

At the same time, Huaxia.

Zhao Hai and Yao Ming are together and discussing.

Helping Ning Yi into the All-Star starter last time was only part of their plan. Now that Ning Yi has been successfully selected as the All-Star starter, it is time for the next part of the plan.

"Chairman Zhao." Yao Ming frowned, "Is this possible? A bad situation may be worse. It is not easy to convince those people."

"Trust me." Zhao Haidao: "I know more about our internal affairs than you do. Although some people are vegetarians, most of them are still good. And Chairman Liu, although many people think that Chairman Liu only cares about his own authority, He blindly emphasizes checks and balances, but I don’t think that’s the case. Chairman Liu is old and prudent, but if the time is right, he definitely has enough courage. After all, he is the leader, if he doesn’t have the courage, how can he still be the leader?”

Yao Ming nodded and said, "Alright then, get ready to act."

On this day, in some forums, someone brought up the old story again, asking for Ning Yi to join the national team
