The King of the NBA

Swish!

Goal in, hollow hit.

Ning Yi put down his hand and looked at Leonard, only to see Leonard frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal: "It returned to normal so soon, it seems that I still underestimate him. The future super Superstars are indeed extraordinary, possessing characteristics that are different from ordinary people, and it is not by accident that they can become superstars."

For Leonard, Ning Yi has never underestimated him, even though he had a certain upper hand in several fights with Leonard, but at the same time, Ning Yi also found that every time he played against Leonard, he was better than him. Stronger last time.

This made Ning Yi realize that he is making rapid progress, but other people are not idle, they are also making progress.

Spurs attack.

The Spurs are different from the Timberwolves. Ning Yi is the only core in the Timberwolves rotation. He is the starting point of the offense, the organizer of the offense, the core of the tactics, and the spiritual leader. The players of the Timberwolves follow Ning Yi as their leader. , Ning Yi played well, Timberwolves played well.

But the Spurs are different. Although Leonard is strong and his performance is getting better and better, the Spurs have their inherent system, coupled with Popovich's consistent style, and did not allow the team to revolve around Leonard. Come to play, they still continue their "team basketball" way and style of play.

Of course, Leonard is the key point. After all, his strength is not comparable to Dior, Mills and others. Mr. Popovich is stable, but he will not let it go.

Mills moved upfield and passed the ball.

The Spurs players were running fast, the ball was also being transferred, passed the ball a few times, and after a few trials, the Spurs didn't find a good shot, so the ball was given to Leonard.

Leonard glanced at the timer and began to single-handedly fight Ning Yi. First, he made a breakthrough to the right, but failed to pass Ning Yi. Leonard turned around halfway, changing from the front basket to the back basket, using his body advantage to back up Singles against Ning Yi.

"Not good." Dieng cried out inwardly, and stepped forward quickly.

At this moment, Leonard made a pass from behind and slapped the ball on the floor. The basketball bounced off the floor, passed through Dieng, and fell to the left side of the basket. Diaw cut in from the outside and received Leo Leonard's pass, a left-handed layup scored.

With a score of 32:30, the Timberwolves led by 2 points.

"This ball is not bad." Popovich's eyes fell on Leonard, nodded secretly, and said to himself: "I thought Leonard's growth would be slower, although he has potential that others don't have. But he is not the kind of person who is born dazzling, he needs to experience precipitation and accumulation. Unexpectedly, his growth rate will be so fast this season, far exceeding my expectations."

Coach Popovich turned his head, looked at Ning Yi, and couldn't help guessing: "Is it because of Ning? Ning stimulated Leonard and made his progress faster? Well, this is very possible."

This is indeed the case. The appearance of Ning Yi stimulated Leonard and broke his usual peaceful heart. After fighting Ning Yi for the first time, Leonard has changed. He has become more anxious, diligent, and more With hard work, the potential hidden in the body is stimulated, and the strength is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

In fact, the changes brought about by Ning Yi's appearance are more than these, and it doesn't just affect Leonard alone.

Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Bill of the Wizards, Oladipo of the Pacers, Lillard of the Trail Blazers, and Drummond of the Pistons. affected.

This may also be part of the "Butterfly Effect". The appearance of Ning Yi is like a catalyst. Over time, the entire NBA will be different!

The Timberwolves rely on Ning Yi to revitalize the whole team. Ning Yi's personal offense and organization are all major killers, especially after Ning Yi was strengthened and became one of the core, this effect became more prominent. The rest of the team They all played around Ning Yi, and the originally scattered rotation also became cohesive.

Cohesion, that's the key.

"The ball." Ning Yi ran back, opened his hands to ask for the ball, and his teammates passed it without hesitation.

As soon as Ning Yi grabbed the ball, Leonard rushed over. His defense became more and more oppressive, and his physical advantage was brought to the extreme, which greatly interfered with Ning Yi.

However, Ning Yi is not a vegetarian either. After fighting Leonard so many times, he already has some experience. He gestured to his teammates, then suddenly accelerated, took a step to the right and then pulled back. Dribble behind the back, switch the ball from right hand to left hand, kick the left foot on the floor, and explode with speed.

In a few months, Ning Yi's physical fitness has improved a lot, the most notable of which is speed.

Now Ning Yi's speed is no worse than that of other NBA players, even if it is not much worse than Leonard. Suddenly, when he started, he passed Leonard by half a body in one step. However, Leonard reacted very quickly, quickly adjusted his pace, and did not let Ning Yi pass himself completely, but stuck to Ning Yi.

"Heh." Ning Yi chuckled, he didn't care much, took another step forward, and then jumped up.

Leonard was surprised, but without hesitation, he jumped up immediately. The two were very close. At such a distance, he was confident that even if he couldn't block the shot, he could fully interfere with Ning Yi's shot.

But to Leonard's surprise, Ning Yi held the basketball with his left hand and didn't make much adjustments. As he jumped up, he just threw it in the direction of the hoop. It didn't look like a shot, but rather a shot.

"It's a pass!" Leonard thought inwardly. Before he could react, he heard a "beep" behind him. Leonard realized, "This is an alley."

In the auditorium, the home fans were already screaming.

Screams and cheers echoed throughout the arena.

Only then did Leonard see that it was Dion who dunked, and he also understood that Ning Yi didn't want to make a shot at all. From the very beginning, he wanted to have an "air catch" with Dion.

"If I had known earlier, I'm afraid I would still jump up." Leonard shook his head, no longer thinking about it, Ning Yi's threat is great, and there are various scoring methods. If he didn't jump, maybe he would really throw the shot.

At this time, more than five minutes had passed in the second quarter, and the Timberwolves led by 6 points. In the duel with Leonard, Ning Yi still had the upper hand after all.

"beep"

Coach Popovich called a timeout, rearranged tactics, and made substitutions, replacing Duncan and Parker, and the rotation time was over.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman also made substitutions, replacing Love and Martin. He still left Ning Yi on the field, so Rubio was not in a hurry to come up.
