The King of the NBA

In Ning Yi's apartment.

Downey came to Ning Yi to discuss matters, whether it was endorsement matters, these things were asked by Downey, and other trivial matters were handed over to Jenna. Jenna is Ning Yi's assistant, not a life assistant. Donnie is responsible for a lot of work, various endorsements and so on, but she is responsible for the specific operation.

For these, Ning Yi didn't ask much, he trusted Downey, and Jenna helped him, he didn't need to worry about it, he just needed to play well.

"It doesn't matter, let's wait until the playoffs are over." Ning Yi sent Downey out.

"Understood." Donnie nodded, turned and left, and Jenna and Donnie left together.

Ning Yi returned to the house, turned on the computer, and checked today's game information.

Just yesterday, the third game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets ended. At the home of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves had a 2:0 advantage, but they lost to the Rockets in the end. The series score became 2:1.

After a day off, the Timberwolves will usher in the fourth game against the Rockets at home, which is also a very critical game.

"If we can win this fourth game, the big score will become 3:0. Although I dare not say that we will definitely be able to eliminate the Rockets, but at least we will get the match point first, and the advantage will be even greater." Ning Yi muttered in his heart, watching to the computer screen.

The first round of the playoffs has been played for almost a week, and the East and West games have also entered a stage of full swing.

Of course, the situation in the East has little to do with the Timberwolves. Ning Yi is mainly concerned about the West. Now the Spurs are 1:2 behind the Grizzlies, which makes people surprised. The Spurs rank first in the West in the regular season and can enter the playoffs. The Grizzlies, who fell behind the eighth in the West by 1:2, made people feel anxious and worried about whether there would be a black eight.

In addition, the Thunder lead the Warriors 3:1 and the Trail Blazers 3:0.

For the Timberwolves, if they beat the Rockets, they will face the winner between the Spurs and the Grizzlies in the second round.

"Although the Spurs are now 1:2 behind, with the Spurs' background and strength, I am afraid this is only temporary. After all, it is the number one in the West. The Grizzlies are going to stage a black eight, and the possibility is very small." Ning Yi is still optimistic about the Spurs, "If The Spurs win, we win, so it's time to play the Spurs in the second round."

Against the Spurs, it's definitely not fun.

Ning Yi hopes that the Grizzlies will play a black eight. It will definitely be easier to play the Grizzlies than the Spurs, but in his opinion, this possibility is really small.

Thinking about it, Ning Yi suddenly shook his head and laughed: "What are you thinking about so much, let's talk about defeating the rocket first."

Meanwhile, a plane landed at Minneapolis Airport.

The Rockets players got off the plane and checked into the hotel, but they were not in a hurry to rest. McHale called everyone together, analyzed the game for everyone, and made some emphasis and arrangements.

This fourth game is extremely critical for the Timberwolves and the Rockets!

The next day, Target Center of Gravity Arena.

The fourth game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets started.

The game is about to start. Players from both sides are surrounded by their respective coaches. Adelman has a serious expression and says to everyone: "We must win this game. This is a match point battle. If we win, we will be the first to win the game." If we want to eliminate the Rockets, we will have greater confidence. If we lose, we will be back on the same starting line as the Rockets.”

Everyone's expression was dignified.

If they win, the Timberwolves have a great advantage; if they lose, the situation will not be so good. The two sides are tied at 2:2, returning to the same starting line, and two of the next three games will be home games of the Rockets.

If at that time, the Rockets have the home court advantage, the Timberwolves may be at a disadvantage.

"Okay." Adelman took a deep breath, spread out the tactical board, and began to arrange tactics. He didn't say much, because everyone knew in their hearts that this game must be won without any loss!

On the other side, the Rockets players surrounded McHale.

All of them had serious faces, and exuded this evil spirit. For them, this game was more important. If they lost, the consequences would be very serious. Although it is easier to make a 1:3 comeback than 0:3, it is also relative.

"We have to win this game, understand?" McHale said.

"clear."

"yes."

"Yes." The Rockets generals responded one after another.

McHale nodded, and simply arranged the tactics.

In fact, in the first and second games, the strategic and tactical collisions between the two sides had a great impact on the game, but in the third game, this influence has been weakened.

After all, at this time, each other has a good understanding of each other's players and tactics, and if they want to work on these, the effect is not great.

At this time, it depends on the strength of both sides and the performance of the players.

Tactics and strategies are also based on the performance of the players. The coaches of both sides need to adapt to the situation, so there is nothing to arrange at the beginning. What should be said, the coaches have already said.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the game begins.

The auditorium was noisy and people were discussing.

Amidst the people's discussion, the Rockets won the ball and launched an attack. They played very patiently, calmly and methodically. Several people quickly passed the ball, ran quickly, and looked for opportunities.

At the beginning, Harden didn't explode immediately, but the Rockets played well as a whole. Obviously everyone is holding back their energy and they are bound to win this game.

On the Timberwolves side, everyone was very calm. No matter how the Rockets played, they just played at their own pace and started from Love.

However, Love didn't feel very good today. As soon as he came up, he made two consecutive shots, and the Timberwolves were beaten by the opponent to a 6:0 start. Then Ning Yi hit a mid-range shot, which opened the deadlock.

Love feels bad, and the offensive end depends on Ning Yi and Martin.

After these few games, the Timberwolves scored first in Love, followed by Ning Yi and Martin in third. So Ning Yi faintly became the No. 2 character. When Love felt bad, the ball fell into Ning Yi's hands.

Taking the ball again, Ning Yi and his teammates made a pick-and-roll. After throwing off Parsons, he made another emergency stop jumper. His shot was too fast, and he seized the opportunity. The opponent basically couldn't block it.

Swish!

Go in again.

Ning Yi scored two goals in a row.

But turning around, Parsons received a pass from Harden, glanced at Ning Yi, shot directly one step outside the three-point line, and returned a three-pointer.

"So determined?" Ning Yi couldn't help frowning. Parsons' dismissal today was a bit different from the previous one. Even if he couldn't defend Ning Yi on the defensive end, he still looked indifferent, but when it came to the offensive end, he became He was extremely calm, and was not affected by Ning Yi's failure to guard against him at all, his eyes were full of determination.
