The King of the NBA

The score was tied, and Coach McHale immediately called a timeout.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman replaced Ning Yi with Martin. Although they have just caught up with the score, the Timberwolves have been controlling the tempo throughout the second quarter.

On the Timberwolves side, Howard was replaced again, and Harden remained on the court.

Ning Yi sat off the court, watched the game on the court, and felt relieved. Harden's scoring ability is very strong, but Love is not weak, plus Martin, and others, in terms of lineup, they are no worse than the Rockets How many.

What's more, the Timberwolves are in full swing at this moment, and the Rockets are being chased behind, and the psychological pressure is a bit heavy, so the situation on the court is actually the Timberwolves having the advantage.

"Le Fu's strength is really strong, and there should be some gap between me and him now." Ning Yi secretly thought, feeling the gap.

Not only is it not as good as Love, but it is also not as good as Harden.

In fact, Ning Yi felt that compared with Martin, his own strength was at most equal to that of Martin, and he might not even be as good as Martin. This is in terms of technology, physical fitness, and experience. Ning Yi also has his advantages, that is, his excellent overall view and grasp of timing are better than Martin.

In other words, Ning Yi has the potential to become a superstar. These advantages he possesses are actually a kind of potential. These Martins do not, so Martin cannot become a superstar.

To become a superstar, you need to have a lot of qualities. Martin lacks some aspects, and Ning Yi actually lacks some aspects, but the system helps Ning Yi make up for these shortcomings.

"beep"

After a while, the second quarter ended.

At this time, the Timberwolves took the lead, but not by much, only 4 points.

After all, the opponent is the Rockets, with great strength. It is almost impossible to easily defeat the Rockets, at least with the current strength of the Timberwolves, so the game will be difficult and anxious. Not in a hurry, he told his players to go on step by step.

Into the second half.

Both the Timberwolves and the Rockets have sent in the starting lineup. The Timberwolves are Pekovic, Love, Ning Yi, Martin, and Rubio; the Rockets are Howard, Jones, Parsons, Harden, and Beverly.

Looking at Ning Yi, Parsons' face twitched, and he was a little depressed. He failed to take advantage of Ning Yi in these two games, but was still at a disadvantage, which made him very hurt.

With a sound of "swish", the ball was passed, Ning Yi took the ball, stood outside the three-point line, and looked eager to try, which made Parsons's heart skip a beat, subconsciously took half a step forward, and raised his center of gravity.

The next moment, Ning Yi broke through.

"Damn it." Parsons cursed in his heart. A player like Ning Yi who can shoot and shoot is the most troublesome, and Ning Yi is equally good at mid-range shots and three-pointers. The key shot speed is still very fast. See When he has a tendency to make a move, you have to lean in, and it will be too late if he is a little later.

But as soon as they lean on it, they will break through.

Taking a step forward, Ning Yi didn't let go to break through, but paused, pushed Parsons with his butt, and then accelerated again, reaching within the free throw line.

At this time, Howard stepped forward and blocked Ning Yi.

Snapped!

Ning Yi passed the ball to Martin who made an air cut from the other side. Martin took the ball and made a layup, easily scoring two points.

"Yeah." Adelman nodded with relief. Although the Timberwolves haven't played in the playoffs in recent years, and the players generally have no playoff experience, what makes Adelman happy is that their adaptability is very strong, especially the Leo team. Fu and Ning Yi, "Love is because of his strength, whether it is technology or experience, he is enough, as long as he is given a little time to adapt to the playoffs. As for Ning, this kid is really amazing. It's only the second playoff game, and it turned out to be like a fish in water, playing with ease."

Ning Yi played very relaxed, with ease, and did not see any tension at all, which made Adelman couldn't help but be surprised, this didn't look like a rookie at all.

On the court, the game continues.

On the Timberwolves side, Ning Yi, Love, and Martin formed a triangle, and the ball moved at the three points of the triangle to mobilize the Rockets' defense. As long as the Rockets' defense made a slight mistake, one of the triangle Click to launch a thunderbolt.

On the Rockets' side, they mainly rely on Harden. Howard has a certain advantage in the interior, but today's Timberwolves' "cutting monsters" tactics made him very depressed, playing very uncomfortable, and his performance can only be regarded as mediocre.

Under the ebb and flow, the Timberwolves quickly widened the point difference.

When the Timberwolves widened the point difference to more than ten points, McHale had to call a timeout again, his face was livid, and the situation was very unfavorable to them.

"Hold on, hold on." McHale muttered in a low voice, spreading out the tactical board, "Let me tell you something."

Here, Adelman is also making arrangements.

The Timberwolves played well during this period, and the players also played well, but it was obviously not enough, and they were very upset that Adelman was almost exhausted by the Rockets in the last game, so he gave everyone an order: "Wait a minute To improve the defensive strength, we have the advantage now, and the opponent dare not make substitutions easily, but we can. So, give me dead defense, entangle the opponent, and consume the opponent's physical strength."

"Consume the opponent's physical strength?"

"That's a good idea."

Everyone applauded.

Ning Yi is also full of praise. Coach Adelman's move is ruthless, and he used his own way to deal with him. The Rockets used this trick to deal with them in the last game. They will use this trick to deal with the Rockets this time. Team.

The Timberwolves survived adversity in the last game and finally came back, so what about the Rockets?

Pause ends.

Players from both sides returned to the court. Love was replaced by Timberwolves, Rubio was also replaced, and Dion and Barea took their places. It was changed, and Jeremy Lin was replaced.

In fact, there have always been problems with the Rockets' lineup rotation. Almost every game is 7-man rotation and 8-man rotation. There are too few players in the rotation, and tactics and style of play will inevitably be affected to a certain extent. With at least ten minutes of playing time, it is easy to find the status. The disadvantage is that there are too few players in the rotation, and the physical energy of the players is high. If a player does not perform well, there may not even be a replacement.

After returning from this timeout, the problem of the Rockets' personnel rotation was exposed.

The Timberwolves further strengthened their defense, and each player spared no effort to make the Rockets' offense fall into a quagmire. Every attack and every goal required more energy and more energy.

In this way, the Timberwolves have less personnel rotation, the main players play too long, and the problem of high physical consumption has begun to be exposed.
