The King of the NBA

"Shua!"

With a soft sound, Parker made a throw.

In the auditorium, the home fans were upset. After returning from the timeout, the Spurs played a shock wave. The original lead was wiped out in an instant, and the Spurs overtook the score.

When the timeout came back, the Spurs' defensive strength was further enhanced, and the offense became more determined, simple and direct, often consisting of two simple tactical coordination, and then they shot.

The key is that the Spurs' shooting percentage is too high. Not long after replacing Duncan and Parker, Popovich replaced Leonard and replaced Ginobili. scored, and then the Spurs troika each showed their strength and hit a wave of shock waves to overtake the score.

On the Timberwolves side, Adelman frowned, quickly called a timeout, replaced Ning Yi, replaced Rubio, and then readjusted his tactics.

When the timeout came back, the two sides entered into a defensive battle, and the confrontation further escalated.

In the next few minutes, the shooting percentages of both sides dropped, but the competition became more intense. The Timberwolves mainly had Love carrying the offensive burden, and Martin was in a mediocre state today; the Spurs had a troika, and they had no advantage in moving speed. , but the victory lies in their tacit cooperation and rich experience. As long as there is the slightest chance, they can transform it into an offense.

This experience played a huge role at this time.

"Snapped!"

On the court, Duncan fouled and sent Pekovic to the free throw line, but Pekovic missed both free throws. The Spurs seized the opportunity and scored another one, leading the Timberwolves by 7 points.

Ning Yi couldn't help frowning. The strength of the Spurs is there. They are very balanced. Tactics, systems, and strategies are all very clear, and they hardly make mistakes. On the other hand, they are not experienced enough, so they will inevitably make some mistakes, such as offense Impatience, defensive misses, fouls when they shouldn't, etc.

In a few minutes, the Spurs had the absolute upper hand.

"Damn it." Adelman was annoyed and asked for a substitution: "Ning, you go."

It's a pity that Ning Yi didn't solve the problem, and the Spurs' momentum has already risen, not to mention that this time is not the first few minutes of the second quarter. It is not Leonard who is suppressing Ning Yi, but the Spurs as a whole defense.

By the end of the second quarter, the Timberwolves had trailed by 12 points.

The game entered the second half, and the situation became even worse for the Timberwolves.

The Spurs are like a rock, and the Timberwolves could still catch up with a few points difference, but now it has reached more than ten points, and it has become extremely difficult to catch up.

Moreover, at this time, the Timberwolves may be under too much psychological pressure, and the players suddenly cannot find the touch. Ning Yi and Love can only rely on their personal ability to support them.

But such a result is obviously not very good. The other players have no touch, so the Spurs can put it down appropriately and transfer the defensive power to Ning Yi and Love, and the defensive pressure on them will be even greater.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman is also adjusting, trying to let other players spread the pressure for Ning Yi and Love, and even make frequent substitutions, but none of them can do it, and they can only rely on Ning Yi and Love.

By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves had trailed by 15 points.

"The situation is not good."

"Yeah, it's already 15 points behind."

"It's not an option to go on like this, just rely on Ning and Lefu to play singles, how can this work?"

"yes."

Home fans worry, worry about it.

On the sidelines, the Timberwolves players were very depressed, as were Ning Yi and Love. They played very well today. It was only the end of three quarters. Ning Yi had already scored 21 points, and Love had also scored 20 points, but What's the use of that? They are still behind the Spurs, and have fallen behind by more than ten points.

Moments later, the fourth quarter begins.

Ning Yi and Love didn't play, and they played in the rotation lineup. Unfortunately, the situation has not changed. They are still playing against the Spurs. The point difference continues to expand, which makes Adelman's face turn pale, and he can't help calling a timeout. Yes Ning Yi and Le Fu said: "Ning, Le Fu, you go. You can see it. At this time, we can only rely on you."

"Um."

"Understood." The two replied.

The timeout ended, and the two sides returned to the field. At this time, the fourth quarter only played for three minutes. Originally, Ning Yi and Love should not have played so early. Even if they wanted to play, they should not play together. Man, it has to be like this.

When they came to the court, Ning Yi and Love exchanged a look. The two started the singles mode. The teammates could not help much, so they could only rely on themselves.

There is no doubt about Love's strength. Even though the Spurs' defense is terrible, Love can still score, but this kind of scoring consumes a lot of money for him. He has physical confrontations and fights again and again, but in a short time, Love is already sweating. rain.

Ning Yi is similar, Leonard is very entangled, it is becoming more and more difficult for Ning Yi to get rid of him, and with the help of other Spurs defenses, Ning Yi simply gave up breakthroughs or other scoring methods , Only use shots, mid-range shots or three-pointers, don't dribble too much after receiving the ball, use the shortest time to seize the opportunity to shoot.

At the beginning, Ning Yi's hit rate was good, and with Love, the two narrowed the difference to less than ten.

But after a while, the physical fitness of the two declined, and the shooting percentage also began to drop, and the point difference was widened again, and soon the point difference widened to more than ten points.

At this time, there were only two minutes left in the fourth quarter.

"beep"

Adelman called a timeout, but his heart sank. There are only two minutes left. This is not a tie-break against the Rockets. Now Ning Yi and Love are too consumed, and it is unlikely to perform a miracle. As for relying on others, let alone possible.

The Spurs are not a weak team. They are the No. 1 team in the Western Conference during the regular season and are known for their defense. It is no miracle that they can chase more than ten points in two minutes with a group of role players. myth.

Unfortunately, myths are myths after all.

"Do your best." Adelman said.

Ning Yi and Le Fu nodded, and the others gritted their teeth, unwilling to do so, but they couldn't do anything.

In the last two minutes or so, Ning Yi and Love did not give up, they were still fighting hard, and the other Timberwolves players were also fighting hard, but the reality is cruel after all. They worked hard, but they couldn't change the reality.

When Ning Yi missed the last three-pointer, the game ended.

At this time, the score was fixed at 110:102. In the last two minutes or so, the Timberwolves still chased a little bit and narrowed the point difference to less than ten points, but the natural moat of 8 points could not be filled.

"it's over!"

"In the end, I still lost."

"I'm not reconciled!"

"This season is over."

The home fans were disappointed, and many people shed tears. The season belonging to the Timberwolves is over. They were defeated by the Spurs 4:2 and eliminated!
