The King of the NBA

The rookie challenge list has been released, and the players selected by Webber are almost all second-year picks, such as Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Harrison Barnes, Dion - Waiters et al. These are second-year rookies, and after more than a season of honing, their strength has grown a lot.

What's more, many of them are amazingly talented people, such as Davis and Lillard. Although they have only played for more than a season, they have already shown their talents.

So in general, the strength of Weber's team seems to be stronger.

Needless to say, Ning Yi on the Hill team, but apart from him, it is difficult to find anyone who can compete with Davis, Lillard and others. Even Drummond and Oladipo have not achieved results at this time.

"Looking at it this way, the Hill team may not be able to match the Weber team."

"It must be no match, Weber has Davis and Lillard."

"I didn't expect Hill to choose Ning first. I'm sure many people are not convinced. This year's rookie challenge is worth seeing."

"That's for sure. At least Lillard is the first to be unconvinced. This season he has averaged 20+6+3 per game. Everyone thought that Hill would definitely be the first to choose him, but he chose Ning. By the way, it seems that the next opponent of the Timberwolves will be the Trail Blazers, right? Hey, this is a good show."

This rookie grouping was broadcast live on TNT TV, and there were countless viewers watching. At first, everyone thought that Webber and Hill would definitely choose Davis and Lillard, but the result was not the case.

Davis is nothing, anyway, he was the first to be selected.

Only Lillard, somewhat shameless, even he himself thought that he would definitely be the first to be selected by Hill, but it turned out to be Ning Yi, who could be comfortable with this gap in his heart?

"I chose Ning, am I not as good as him? I will play against the Timberwolves right away, and I will prove to everyone that I am stronger than him." Lillard was annoyed and secretly decided that against the Timberwolves, I must beat Ning Yi, prove myself, and at the same time defeat the Timberwolves.

At the same time, the Timberwolves are training at the Target Center.

While training, everyone was also talking about the grouping of the Rookie Challenge.

"Ning, you stole Lillard's limelight this time." Rubio laughed.

"Lillard has lost face this time. He will definitely target you when we fight tonight." Martin said with a smile, "But I'm looking forward to it, haha."

Lillard is also considered to be outstandingly talented. This season, he has averaged 20+6 per game. Among the second-year rookies, only Davis can match him. But Martin doesn't think Ning Yi will be inferior to him, but he watched Ning Yi become so powerful step by step. In Martin's view, in terms of talent, Ning Yi is higher than Lillard.

Lillard is at best a genius, but Ning Yi is a monster!

Dion, Brewer, Pekovic. Everyone talked to each other and teased Ning Yi one after another. Like Martin, they had confidence in Ning Yi and were not worried.

"Lillard is very powerful." Ning Yi smiled, facing everyone's eyes, and added, "However, I will not lose to him. If he wants to target me, just come. Who is afraid of who!"

"Ha ha."

"Yes, that's what I want."

Everyone laughed.

Six pm.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers has not yet started, but the fans have already arrived, checking tickets to enter the arena one after another.

A tall man, more than two meters tall, wearing a peaked cap and another middle-aged man also came outside the Target Center arena, queuing up to check tickets like everyone else.

Both of them have Asian faces. The middle-aged man is okay. Although he is over 1.8 meters tall, he is not eye-catching, but the other one stands out from the crowd. Among the people, he also looked very unusual and attracted the attention of many people, but he was wearing a peaked cap, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Huh." A fan stared at the man in the peaked cap for a long time, suddenly moved, and exclaimed in surprise, "You are Yao Ming?"

This person is Yao Ming, and the other middle-aged man is Zhao Hai.

The two also arrived in Minneapolis in the morning. The Timberwolves played away against the Pelicans yesterday, and today they played against the Trail Blazers. It was a back-to-back game. Ning Yi was very busy, so the two were not in a hurry to see Ning Yi. But they are all here, idle is also idle, the two discussed it and decided to watch the game together.

Seeing being recognized, Yao Ming also generously admitted: "It's me, hello."

"Are you really Yaoming?" The fan said excitedly, "I'm just saying, ordinary people can't be as tall as you. I was guessing when you came, but I didn't expect it to be you. You are here to cheer for Ning. Right? I’m a fan of Ning, he’s just amazing.”

The fans were very enthusiastic and their voices were so loud that everyone around could hear them.

For a moment, dozens of pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, and some people gathered around, including some children, excitedly shouting Yao Ming's name, who turned out to be Yao Ming's fans, clamoring for Yao Ming's autograph.

Seeing that the other party was a child, Yao Ming couldn't refuse. He signed the autograph with a smile and chatted with other fans for a while.

At this time, it was Yao Ming and Zhao Hai's turn, they got rid of the fans and entered the arena after checking the tickets.

In fact, if Yao Ming and Zhao Hai call Ning Yi, or call Adelman, they don't need to queue up here for ticket inspection, they can use a special channel. However, the two came out of pleasure, and they didn't want to trouble Ning Yi or Adelman, that's why they came out.

Entering the arena, Zhao Haibin was taken aback.

"Hey, there are so many people."

"That's right." Yao Ming smiled and said, "The Target Center Arena can accommodate 20,000 people to watch the game. Judging from today's attendance rate, it is estimated to exceed 15,000 people."

Zhao Hai clicked his tongue again and again, sighing. Although he is the vice chairman of Lanxie, he has never watched an NBA game twice. The last time was a few years ago, and there were not as many people as there are today.

Afterwards, Zhao Hai and Yao Ming found seats and sat down. Zhao Hai looked at the auditorium and found that there were many fans holding signs with Ning Yi's name written on them, and many fans were wearing Ning Yi's jerseys. Chinese fans, the bright red flags waving in their hands made Zhao Hai smile happily.

"The Trail Blazers are out."

"coming."

There was an uproar.

Zhao Hai and Yao Ming also looked at the player tunnel, and the Blazers players came out one after another, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicholas Batum, Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews , Robin Lopez, and CJ McCollum walked up with their heads held high, full of fighting spirit.
