The King of the NBA

"Why is this guy smiling at me?"

Ning Yi smiled sincerely, but from Garcia's point of view, he felt a little penetrating, his back felt cold, and his heart was worried. I don't know what Ning Yi meant?

The second quarter begins.

The Timberwolves only have one starter, Ning Yi, and the other four are Dion, Brewer, Mbah a Moute, and Barea. Ning Yi is still a small forward, but a point forward.

Garcia continued to use small moves to interfere with Ning Yi as in the first quarter, but Ning Yi didn't care and didn't make many shots. He just concentrated on organizing and giving assists to his teammates.

"Shua!"

Barea hit a three-pointer.

This ball is Ning Yi's assist again. His pass is not gorgeous, but it is very strange. There is no sign at all, and it is impossible to see where he is going to pass, because every time Ning Yi passes, Ning Yi's eyes are always He doesn't even look at the direction of the pass, as if he knows where his teammates are without looking at him.

The reason why Ning Yi can do this is due to his vision far beyond ordinary people.

In fact, things like vision can also be improved through training. Ning Yi was not outstanding at first, but under systematic training, he has far surpassed ordinary people. Most people standing on the court can only see half of the court. But he can see the entire stadium, even if it's just a glance out of the corner of his eye, he can clearly know the position of his teammates.

But for a while, Ning Yi has sent three assists.

Under Ning Yi's organization, the Timberwolves played very well, and soon closed the gap to only 1 point.

Coach McHale was depressed and had a headache for Ning Yi. He made a substitution and replaced Harden. The point difference was almost caught up, and a substitution was necessary. Obviously, the Timberwolves could not be stopped by the rotation.

After this substitution, the effect was immediate. There is no doubt about Harden's personal ability. He is proficient in breakthrough and shooting, and he also has a good passing skill. He alone is enough to change a team.

When Harden came up, the Rockets quickly stabilized the situation.

boom!

Timberwolves Mbah a Moute made a shot, the Rockets took the rebound and immediately gave it to Harden.

The Timberwolves defended well and did not allow the opponent to easily get a shot.

At this time, Harden ran back and got the ball outside the three-point line, and then the Rockets pulled away. Facing Mbah a Moute's defense, Harden made an iconic step-back jumper, with a knife in his hand and a three-pointer hit.

When Harden hit this three-pointer, the Rockets had already led by 8 points.

Originally, there was only 1 point left after catching up, but in a blink of an eye, the point difference became 8 points again. Harden alone scored 7 points, a layup, two free throws, and a three-pointer.

"Harden's personal scoring ability is too strong. In comparison, our scoring ability is much inferior." Ning Yi frowned slightly, "Bah Moute, Barea, Dion, Brewer, No one can score against Harden, not even two combined."

"Huh." Ning Yi took a deep breath, "I have to stand up and score."

At this time, if the coach does not replace Love, Ning Yi must stand up and score. He is a strong scorer for the team. Now this lineup on the field, only he can compare with Harden.

Barea took the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Ning Yi after reaching the frontcourt. Ning Yi pinched the ball around his waist and gestured to his teammates. Everyone understood and started running.

Barea, Ba Mote and others walked outside and pulled people away. Dion mentioned the line and made a pick-and-roll for Ning Yi. Taking advantage of this pick-and-roll, Ning Yi accelerated, threw off the defender, and took three big steps. When the first step was taken, Ning Yi hugged the ball and made a fake pass to the side, deceiving the defender, and then quickly Take it back, take the second step, and shoot an arrow on horseback.

Swish!

Go in.

Garcia didn't notice anything about this ball, because Ning Yi used a pick-and-roll and then broke through directly, then rode a horse and shot an arrow, and scored the ball. Basically, Garcia had nothing to do.

However, less than a minute later, Ning Yi was playing singles again, this time directly singles Garcia, Ning Yi ran back, and then waited for Garcia to come over, taking advantage of Garcia's unsteady foothold, Ning Yi suddenly started to speed up. Giving Garcia a chance to pull, the speed exploded, a change of direction instantly distanced Garcia, then retreated, and a long two-point shot.

Swish!

Also enter.

McHale's face turned black, Ning Yi scored 4 points in a row, and the originally expanded point difference narrowed again. Although the Rockets also scored a goal just now, the point difference was only reduced by 2 points and became 6 points. But Ning Yi scored 4 points in a row, which is very morale-boosting for the Timberwolves, and Ning Yi was only organizing the offense before, but now he stands up and scores, so the advantage of the Rockets will be weakened.

It can't be said that the advantage is gone, because in terms of scoring ability, Ning Yi is not as good as Harden, but at least the two sides are not so disparity.

"It's this guy again, it's really hateful." McHale cursed secretly, looking at the Timberwolves rest area, Love had stood up from his chair and was ready to play.

A Ning Yi, plus a Love, the Rockets' offensive advantage, this is really gone!

In desperation, McHale could only replace Howard. The core of the Rockets is of course Harden, but Howard is also a strong point. The strength of Warcraft should not be underestimated.

It's a pity that Warcraft ran into trouble as soon as it came up.

"Snapped!"

"beep!"

Thugs, blow the whistle.

The referee pointed at Dion and gave him a thug foul. Dion raised his hand to indicate that the referee was right, he was the thug. In that way, McHale's face became darker and he wanted to hit someone.

"Shark hacking tactics!" McHale gritted his teeth.

To be precise, this is not "cutting sharks", but "cutting monsters".

But the tactics are the same. At the beginning, Shaquille O’Neal was a giant in the interior, invincible in the interior, no one could guard him, but his free throws were too bad, so there was a "shark-cutting tactic", and he kept fouling him. , sabotaging his goals, sabotaging his rhythm, making him uncomfortable.

The result of this is that O'Neal frequently goes to the free throw line, but with O'Neal's free throw percentage, going to the free throw line is basically a wild card.

Howard's free throw level is not very good, so Adelman directly resorted to the tactic of "cutting monsters" and sent Howard to the free throw line. As a result, Howard failed to make free throws and missed consecutive free throws.

After several times in a row, the Rockets simply replaced Howard. Without Howard, the Rockets' inside line was tight, and Harden alone would eventually lose to the wolves.

When more than eight minutes passed in the second quarter, with Love's layup after a feint, the difference between the two sides was completely smoothed out.
