The King of the NBA

After hitting a three-pointer, Parsons turned around and walked away with steady steps.

Ning Yi's heart was solemn. In the first three games, Parsons and him failed to take advantage of the position, but fell into a disadvantage. The more he couldn't guard Ning Yi, the more he wanted to guard Ning Yi.

But this time, Parsons obviously changed his style of play, and if he couldn't defend, he couldn't defend. He didn't obsess over this, but put all his energy on offense.

Parsons' scoring ability is still very strong, otherwise it would be impossible for the Rockets to start firmly. When he puts all his energy on offense, it is not so easy for Ning Yi to guard him.

In fact, defense is still Ning Yi's weakness.

"In this case, let's compare the scores." Ning Yi's pupils shrank into needlepoints, stared deeply at Parsons's back, and started running to the front field.

The game has just begun.

In the next few minutes, both sides were you hitting you, and I was hitting mine. The rhythm was not fast, but the style was unmistakable. Both sides were very rigorous, pursuing the success rate, and no one dared to rush for quick success.

For the Timberwolves, Love didn’t feel good, missed consecutive shots, and even his shooting percentage at the free throw line dropped. He made 4 free throws and only hit 2. He played half of the first quarter and only scored 2. point.

Then Love reduced his shots.

Seeing this situation, Adelman couldn't help frowning, and simply replaced Love and asked him to adjust.

When Love was replaced, the Timberwolves suddenly became tight inside, and Howard broke out. Contrary to Love, Howard was in a very good state in this game, stirring up wind and rain inside the Timberwolves, almost unstoppable.

Ning Yi and Parsons were facing each other, and Ning Yi still had a slight upper hand, but after a few minutes, Ning Yi couldn't help frowning. In terms of total score, the Timberwolves have always been behind.

"roll!"

With a loud roar, Howard jumped up like a wall of people. His big fan-like hands flew across the air, and with a snap, he slapped Rubio's layup and flew out of bounds.

In the auditorium, people were in an uproar.

"This cover is so brutal."

"Howard's deterrence is too great. In the past few minutes, the Timberwolves have basically done nothing inside."

"This is not going to work. The morale of the Rockets is like a rainbow, and the state is bursting, but the Timberwolves are fighting hard. If this continues, the situation is very bad."

This block sent a message that the Timberwolves had fallen into a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Adelman frowned, called a timeout, made a personnel rotation, replaced Pekovic with Dieng, then replaced Brewer with Love: "When we attack, Howard Open, he must be pulled out, he is too threatening inside. In addition, on the defensive end, foul Howard."

The generals of the Timberwolves were surprised to use the "cutting monsters" tactic so early?

Adelman ignored everyone's surprised eyes, grabbed Love, and said, "Love, you must contribute on the offensive end. You are our strongest scoring point, understand?"

"Understood." Le Fu nodded heavily.

After a while, the pause ends.

Back on the court, Love wanted to play well, but for some reason, he always failed to make shots, which made him very helpless, it was like hell.

The Rockets have Howard on the inside, and Love has no touch on outside shots. The defensive pressure facing Howard on the inside is also great. He failed to score after two attempts, and his efficiency is very low.

Seeing this situation, Adelman frowned.

"Huh." McHale was happy, looked at Adelman and snorted coldly, and made a gesture on the field, "Give me double-team Ning Yi."

Next, Ning Yi discovered that as soon as he got the ball, the opponent double-teamed him.

With Ning Yi's passing level, it doesn't matter if the opponent double-teams himself, but the problem is that Love is not in a good state, and other people's shots are not accurate. It feels like the ball is passed, and the teammates have a good chance, but they just don't score.

hell!

Even Adelman couldn't help cursing, looked at the time, and simply replaced Ning Yi and Love.

In this first quarter, the Timberwolves completely fell into a disadvantage. When the first quarter ended, the Timberwolves were already behind by as much as 10 points.

"Love's condition is not good, and everyone else is similar. Today, it seems that the Timberwolves are really dangerous."

"Ning played really well."

"What's the use of relying on him alone?"

"Yes, Love is the core of the team. If Love does not perform well, the entire team will be affected."

People were discussing, and Adelman's face was solemn.

Le Fu sat on the bench, his face was empty, and he was extremely annoyed, why didn't he make a shot today? What went wrong?

This kind of thing is hard to say. Every player will encounter it. I don’t know what’s going on, but they just can’t make shots. Even the more you adjust, the more you can’t make shots. When you hit more times, you will feel annoyed and discouraged. .

Love is almost in this state at the moment. Adelman has enlightened him, and his teammates have comforted him, but this kind of thing ultimately depends on himself.

Entering the second quarter, Love is still out of shape.

Seeing that the point difference had widened to 16 points, Adelman couldn't bear it anymore, called a timeout, replaced Love, and said, "Ning, I'll give you the right to fire without restriction, as long as you think it's okay, just shoot. Don't think too much about it."

Ning Yi was shocked, his eyes were bright, and he replied loudly: "Yes."

Martin glanced at Ning Yi enviously. Le Fu was not in good condition. At this time, he had to find another person. All tactics were inclined to him, but it was a pity that this person was not him.

Obviously, Adelman thinks Ning Yi is more suitable.

After a moment, the pause ends.

After this timeout, Ning Yi became the core of the lineup. He controlled most of the ball and had unlimited fire rights. His scoring ability was fully stimulated, and he scored crazy points as soon as he came up, scaring McHale's heart.

Ning Yi scored a bit crazy this time. In less than three minutes, he scored 9 points by himself, so McHale had to call a timeout to curb the momentum of Ning Yi's crazy scoring.

At this time, there was not much time to win in the second quarter, and the Timberwolves chased the point difference to only 9 points. Adelman was in a good mood and praised Ning Yi again and again.

"Ning, good job."

"Good job."

The rest of the Timberwolves also said.

Le Fu sighed secretly, but he also walked over, patted Ning Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You did a great job, you are much better than me today."

"My strength is not as good as yours." Ning Yi said modestly: "You are out of shape all of a sudden, adjust a little, and you will definitely be there in the second half."

Le Fu smiled, noncommittal.

Martin took a deep breath, his eyes burst into light, and he thought: "Ning Yi is still so good as a rookie. Although the coach is obviously more optimistic about him, I am not weak. Well, I can't lose to him."
