The King of the NBA

"Le Fu is amazing."

"Sure enough, Le Fu is still the same Le Fu, the same as before he was injured."

In the auditorium, the fans who supported the Timberwolves were very excited.

During this period of time, Love has been adapting and looking for his previous state. From his comeback to the end of the regular season, Love's data has been steadily rising, but it is obviously not at the level before he was injured.

Some even believe that the injury has affected Love and made him weaker.

But at this moment, people realized that the injury did not make Love weaker, but Love in the regular season was not a 100% Love that broke out completely.

Now, it is!

In the ensuing game, the Rockets adjusted their strategy and strengthened their defense against Love. Love is the core player of the Timberwolves and poses too much threat to the Rockets. They were still waiting and watching at first, but when Love returned after that dunk, After eating Jones alone in the low post and scoring a beautiful 2+1, the Rockets had to make adjustments.

"Restrict Love? Oh, we don't only have Love." Adelman sneered, and gestured to the Timberwolves players on the field, "Attack outside."

The Timberwolves players nodded, expressing their understanding.

Later, the Timberwolves also changed their tactics. Love was also very strong, but he didn't really want to attack, but to attract the defense. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball and gave it to the outside.

On the outside line, Ning Yi completely withdrew from the organizational tasks and put all his energy on scoring.

Rubio received Love's pass and immediately made a breakthrough, which made the Rockets' defense even more chaotic, causing holes in their defense. At this time, Rubio scored the ball and gave it outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right. Ning Yi stood there, without the slightest pause after taking the ball, and raised his hand to shoot.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the goal is scored and the three-pointer is valid.

"Three separated."

"Ning started to attack."

This is the Timberwolves' first three-pointer of the game, but it's obviously just the beginning.

Ning Yi stepped forward and took up the banner of offense. Only a few tens of seconds after the three-pointer hit, Ning Yi ran back to get the ball, then changed direction with his crotch, stepped forward with his right foot, and made a breakthrough It looks like, waiting for the defender to retreat, Ning Yi quickly dribbled the ball under the crotch with a backhand, the ball returned from his right hand to his left hand, his body also quickly retreated, and his foot tapped on the floor.

"Take a step back, damn it!" Parsons cursed inwardly, and immediately stepped forward.

But before he stretched out his hand, Ning Yi had already shot. His shot was too fast, and the ball flew out of his fingertips almost as soon as he retreated and jumped.

Swish!

Go in again.

Looking at Ning Yi, Parsons frowned, and shook his head helplessly. Even if he was preparing for the ball, he probably wouldn't be able to defend against it. Ning Yi's shot was too fast.

"Be careful and follow closely," Coach McHale yelled at Parsons.

Parsons nodded and ran upfield.

On the sidelines, Coach McHale pondered for a moment and said to Jeremy Lin: "Lin, get ready."

"Yes." Jeremy Lin's eyes lit up, he stood up, couldn't help looking at Ning Yi, and sighed secretly, "Ning Yi is better than me, he can play so well in his rookie season, and the future is limitless. However, I also I won't stop here, I will work harder, become stronger, and prove to everyone that I can make it in the NBA."

You come and go on the court, and the confrontation is very fierce.

This kind of confrontation intensity far exceeds the regular season. If Ning Yi's physical fitness has not improved a lot in the past few months, I am afraid that no matter how good his skills are, he will only be crushed by his opponent.

Of course, this is also related to the person who defends him. Parsons himself is not the kind of player who relies on his body.

Even so, Ning Yi also felt that the physical energy consumption was very high. This time, he played less than half a quarter, and felt that the physical energy consumption had almost caught up with the previous entire quarter.

"This is the playoffs, and it really is not the same concept as the regular season." Ning Yi sighed, but his eyes became brighter and shone with amazing expressions, "However, I like this feeling."

Fighting, running, attacking, defending, everything is going all out, this feeling makes Ning Yi very excited, every cell in the body is jumping and cheering.

Ning Yi took a deep breath, tapped his toes on the floor a few times, and made a strange run, throwing Parsons away in an instant, then rushed to the left three-point line, and shouted at Rubio: "The ball. "

Rubio passes the ball.

Behind, Parsons caught up, but Ning Yi didn't care, and still raised the ball.

"Another three-pointer?" Parsons was surprised and subconsciously jumped up.

But at this moment, he realized that he had been fooled.

Ning Yi slapped the ball and rushed past Parsons. Someone rushed up from the inside. It was Howard, but Ning Yi didn't intend to fight Howard. He stopped quickly and made a mid-range shot.

Swish!

There was another soft sound.

Howard had no choice but to be beaten up.

Behind, Parsons was very depressed. Why did he think that Ning Yi might shoot a three-pointer, but forgot that the best thing about this guy is not the three-pointer, but the mid-range shot, which is the killer.

"Still not guarded." McHale shook his head and called a timeout. "Wait for a substitution, Parsons, Beverly, you two. Garcia, Lin, you go." After the substitution, Mike Haier spread out the tactical board and began to arrange: "We did a good job defending Love, but we did not do well in Ning. He has good skills and accurate shots, but his physical fitness is a disadvantage. Speed, strength, jumping , These are just average. Then, what we have to do is to get close to him, not give him a chance to shoot, and force him to break through, so that his lethality will not be great.”

McHale looked at Garcia: "Garcia, do you understand?"

"Understood." Garcia nodded, and added, "I will guard him well." He knew very well that scoring is not his strong point, and to gain the approval of the coach and gain a foothold in the team, he had to rely on defense, desperate defense .

Afterwards, McHale made some adjustments to his tactics, then glanced at the scoreboard, and said to everyone: "It's just halfway through the first quarter, we're behind by 5 points, let me catch up. This is the first game of this series, It's still at our home court, I can't afford to lose, we have to win."

"yes."

"clear."

All the players responded in unison.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman also made a substitution. Instead of replacing Rubio with Barea, he replaced Martin with Cunningham: "Cunningham, your task is to defend, give me Guard Harden well. Ning, your task is to score, you are in very good form now, just play like this and keep going.”

"Yes." Cunningham replied.

"Understood." Ning Yi nodded.

Love smiled and encouraged: "Good job, keep going."

Rubio said, "I'll give you the ball later."

"I have me inside, just shoot." Pekovic grinned.
