The King of the NBA

"Good job, that's how you play." Adelman clapped his hands, and played for his players, "Take it easy, but don't take it lightly, just keep playing like this, understand?"

"Understood." Everyone responded.

Adelman nodded, took a deep breath, spread out the tactical board, and began to arrange tactics: "We need to adjust our tactics. The defense against Harden is still the first, but other people can't let go."

In the first quarter, Harden played very proactively at the beginning, but then Jeremy Lin began to explode, and the rest of the Rockets also contributed, while Harden restrained a little and hid his edge.

Harden is always the top priority and cannot relax.

However, regarding the defense of the rest of the Rockets, Adelman felt that he should not take it lightly. Otherwise, if he defended against Harden but was defeated by the rest of the Rockets, it would be too wronged.

Not far away, the Rockets players formed a circle.

McHale was in the middle, spread out the tactical board, drew a few times on it, clapped his hands, and said: "Although we are behind, it doesn't matter. This is only the first quarter. We played very well just now. Remember, wait The next step is to use Harden as the initiator of the offense, but other people should be like Lin, be more active and aggressive, and make sure to make a shot. If you don’t make a shot, you will never know whether you can make a shot, even if it is true It doesn’t feel good, at least give me two votes.”

"Um."

"Yes, coach." Everyone responded.

McHale breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jeremy Lin with relief, and said, "Lin, you can continue to play later, play hard, and keep playing just now, you know?"

"I will definitely work hard." Jeremy Lin nodded heavily.

In normal times, even if Jeremy Lin played well, McHale would still replace him and replace Beverly after a few minutes of play. Relatively speaking, McHale actually prefers to use Beverly because he feels that Jeremy Lin's performance is not stable enough. Sometimes he can score and cause damage better than Beverly, but sometimes he can't.

Another point is that Jeremy Lin's defense is far worse than Beverly's.

McHale likes Beverly because he likes his fierceness on the defensive end, which makes McHale unconsciously feel that he is worthy of being entrusted with important tasks.

You want to say score?

What does that matter? Harden scored.

But that's normal, and it's a tiebreaker right now, so we can't follow the usual practice, and those things may not work at this time.

The tiebreaker depends on the performance of the players. Whoever performs well is trustworthy and should play longer so that he can play more.

"I have to keep it up, it's very important to me." Jeremy Lin also understood this, and told himself secretly that he must fight well, this is a battle of life and death.

"beep"

The second quarter begins.

The Rockets attacked, Harden didn't play, and Howard didn't play. Jeremy Lin took the lead alone. I saw him pushing the ball to the frontcourt, dribbling the ball, and gesturing to his teammates to move.

Ning Yi watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but nodded secretly: "It's no accident that Jeremy Lin was able to gain a firm foothold in the NBA. Although his physical fitness is not outstanding, he has a clear mind, calmness, and knows what to do when."

On the court, Jeremy Lin made a breakthrough and passed to the outside line. Garcia missed a shot. The Timberwolves Dion got the rebound and quickly passed it to Beverly. The Timberwolves launched a counterattack

Both sides have a rotation lineup, but the Rockets have too few people in the regular rotation. Among the substitute players, Jeremy Lin played better. Asik, Garcia, and Casspi didn't play much time. How effective it can be. The Rockets' rotation mainly depends on Jeremy Lin.

But Jeremy Lin is not Harden, and he is still alone.

After a few minutes, the point difference was widened, and the Rockets were already 8 points behind.

"Sigh." McHale shook his head and made a substitution, replacing Howard and Parsons.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman also made substitutions, replacing Ning Yi and Pekovic, but not Dieng. It became a "Twin Towers" lineup to limit Howard.

In this way, the Timberwolves' lineup became Dion, Pekovic, Ning Yi, Mbah a Moute, and Barea. They were tall enough, but their speed was too slow, so they could only play positional battles.

Of course, the Timberwolves have an advantage in letting go inside.

boom!

Howard made a shot, and Dion took the rebound without stopping at all, and threw the ball directly into the frontcourt. He knew that Ning Yi must have made a fast break.

And it is true.

Ning Yi and Dion have an extraordinary tacit understanding. When Howard shot the iron, Ning Yi looked at the landing point of the basketball and judged that Dion could get the rebound. He had already turned around and started to play fast breaks.

When Ning Yi passed the center line, the ball was also passed.

"Hey." Ning Yi smiled in his heart, took two steps quickly, took the ball and dribbled a step forward, grabbed the basketball with one hand, kicked his left foot on the floor, and with a "chi", Ning Yi jumped up, Split buckle with one hand.

Bang!

The basket swayed.

In the auditorium, there was another commotion immediately.

The girl next to Ye Qian has blond hair and looks very pretty. At this moment, she jumped up excitedly, took Ye Qian's arm, and shouted excitedly: "Ye Qian, Ning is so handsome and amazing."

"Yes." Ye Qian nodded, looking at Ning Yi on the field, with a smile on her face.

When Ning Yi came up, the situation favored Timberwolves again.

On the side of the Rockets, Howard was restricted by the Timberwolves' twin towers. Jeremy Lin and Parsons were able to score, but Parsons didn't feel good. Jeremy Lin continued his performance in the first quarter, but his scoring efficiency still couldn't catch up with Ning Yi .

At this time, Ning Yi played more and more smoothly, and completely let go.

But in a short time, the point difference has reached more than ten.

"Hmph." McHale's face darkened, and he called a timeout. When people came down, he began to replace people, "Harden, Beverly, wait for you two to come on." Board, "Wait for us."

Pause ends.

The Rockets replaced Harden and Beverly, and the Timberwolves also replaced Love and Martin.

But the situation took a turn for the worse. As soon as Harden came up, he hit two three-pointers in a row. Beverly and Parsons switched defenses, and he was replaced by him to defend Ning Yi. He was extremely fierce, which made Ning Yi feel a little uncomfortable, and even made a mistake. Beverly directly steals the ball, allowing the Timberwolves to play a fast break and give away two points for nothing.

The Rockets played a wave and quickly approached the point difference.

In the auditorium, the Timberwolves fans were heartbroken, while the Rockets fans were excited, shouting at the field, their voices shaking like thunder.

In the deafening sound, the Rockets counterattacked with momentum like a rainbow, like a beast descending the mountain, suppressing the Timberwolves and overtaking the score in one fell swoop!
