The King of the NBA

Seeing Ning Yi walking to the free throw line, Lillard was very upset, but he was helpless. He didn't regret the foul, but under such circumstances, Ning Yi could still make a shot, which made Lillard a little depressed.

Swish!

Additional penalty hit.

Offensive and defensive translocation, the Trail Blazers attacked here, and the Timberwolves adjusted their defensive strategy under Adelman's signal, and strengthened their defense against Lillard.

Under such circumstances, it is not so realistic for Lillard to find Ning Yi again, not to mention that he does not have a good chance. Lillard wants to overwhelm Ning Yi, but it doesn't mean he has no brains. Seeing the Timberwolves' defense, he chose to pass the ball.

This time the Blazers failed to score.

Turning around, the Timberwolves failed to score. The Timberwolves changed their defensive strategy, and the Blazers also changed their defensive strategy. It is impossible to let Ning Yi continue to go on like this.

When both sides change their defensive strategies, and Ning Yi and Lillard are not directly facing each other, the confrontation between the two will no longer be so frequent.

What's more, whether it is Ning Yi or Lillard, it is difficult to score the ball continuously under the premise of the opponent's conscious defense.

When Ning Yi and Lillard hit the iron successively, the two restrained their edge.

For a while, the two sides also entered a more conventional rhythm, but the Blazers were balanced in strength, which was indeed a big advantage, so after a while, they still maintained the lead.

"beep!"

Adelman called a timeout for personnel rotation.

At this time, half of the first quarter had passed. Adelman replaced Ning Yi and Martin one after another, and replaced them with a rotation lineup. Rubio was still on the court, leading the rotation lineup.

During the rotation time, the Timberwolves had the upper hand and narrowed the point difference. By the end of the first quarter, the score became 27:24, and the Timberwolves trailed by 3 points.

"Three points behind in the first quarter." Zhao Hai looked at the scoreboard.

"It's okay." Yao Ming smiled calmly, "Although the Timberwolves have been lagging behind in this quarter, the two sides generally have contacts with each other. In fact, no one has taken advantage of it. This is only the first quarter, and it is still very early."

Zhao Hai nodded, and he knew it, but he was not Yao Ming. Yao Ming watched too many games live, and his heart was very calm. Like other fans, more nervous.

Moments later, the second quarter begins.

Entering the second quarter, the Timberwolves began to counterattack and quickly overtook the score.

Then the two sides entered a tug-of-war, and the Blazers themselves were very strong. Although they were overtaken by a wave of shock waves from the Timberwolves, the point difference was not widened, and they were always anxious, chasing each other.

Until the two sides gradually switched back to the main force, the situation did not change.

Lillard is very aggressive today. He made three-pointers from the outside and hit the inside. That is unambiguous at all. He covered up Aldridge's light and became the most active and best performer of the Blazers today. players.

For the Timberwolves, Ning Yi has reduced his shots, but his efficiency has increased. Every shot is fatal. It always gives coach Terry Stotts a headache when the opponent is about to catch up.

At the same time, the outside world is also discussing.

"Sure enough, Lillard was targeting Ning."

"It's not surprising, not to mention that Lillard didn't take advantage of it. He looked fierce and aggressive today, but he only scored 16 points so far. Ning seems to have scored 17 points." ? Not worse than him."

"Ning is different from Lillard. Lillard shows his sharpness and is better than me; Ning is extremely calm and kills silently. But it's hard to say who is stronger."

"This game is not over yet, just watch it and you'll know."

In people's discussions, time passed quickly.

With Martin missing the final buzzer, the third quarter ended and the Timberwolves led the Blazers by 6 points 78:71.

"Whoa, whoa"

At the end of the third quarter, the physical fitness of both sides dropped rapidly, especially the Timberwolves. They just finished playing the Pelicans yesterday and flew back overnight. Today, they are going to fight against such a strong opponent as the Blazers. The consumption is not small.

At this time, the Timberwolves were sitting on the bench, no one spoke, only the sound of heavy panting, sweat dripped down their cheeks, and they wiped it off with a towel, but soon it was like dots again.

"Coach," Terry Porter called.

"I know." Adelman nodded, glanced at his players, and said, "We'll have to make some changes in the personnel rotation later on. If this consumption continues, the situation won't be good."

In a blink of an eye, the intermission is over and the fourth quarter begins.

Entering the fourth quarter, the game will be more intense, but the Timberwolves players consume a lot of energy, so Adelman consciously controlled the playing time of the main players, especially Ning Yi and Martin.

But in this way, the score was overtaken by the Blazers.

Until halfway through the fourth quarter, Adelman replaced Ning Yi and Martin successively.

"Counterattack."

"Well, counterattack and take down the opponent."

Ning Yi and Martin exchanged glances. At this time, the Timberwolves were 7 points behind, but there was enough time. They wanted to launch a counterattack, defeat their opponents in one fell swoop, and win the game.

On the other side, coach Terry Stotts looked solemn and gestured to the Blazers players on the field, signaling them to defend better and hold the lead.

"The ball." Martin opened his hands to ask for the ball. When the ball came, he immediately made an accelerated breakthrough. After reaching the inside, he jumped up to face Aldridge, curled up in the air, and made a throw.

Swish!

The goal was scored, and the point difference was 5 points.

"It's starting to counterattack."

"Good shot, come on, overtake back."

The home fans cheered and shouted loudly.

At this time, the Blazers had launched a counterattack. After Lillard arrived in the frontcourt, he scored the ball. Aldridge tried to play a single, but he was fouled by Brewer before he could make a shot and sent out the ball.

Then there were several passes of the ball, but the Blazers failed to find a good opportunity. Seeing that there were only a few seconds left in the attack time, Batum simply came by himself, forced Ning Yi, and carried Ning Yi to the inside, but encountered Peko. Vicky blocked.

"Batum."

When a voice came, Batum was overjoyed and immediately passed it on.

Lillard received the ball without a pause, with only one second left, his eyes were sharp, he stared straight at the basket, lifted the ball, and shot it.

beep!

Swish!

The time is up, the ball goes in!

"Big heart."

"The buzzer."

"It's still a three-pointer, and the point difference has become 8 points!"

Lillard's three-pointer widened the point difference to 8 points and interrupted the Timberwolves' pursuit of points.

Zhao Hai frowned, Yao Ming looked straight, looked towards the Timberwolves, and said in a low voice: "There must be a response, this goal must be scored, otherwise this wave of counterattacks will not be able to continue."

If the Timberwolves can score this goal, then the momentum of chasing points may continue, but if they fail to score this time, then the anger will be exhausted, and it will not be so easy to reorganize the counterattack.
