The King of the NBA

China.

Countless fans were immersed in jubilation.

After 30 years, the Huaxia men's basketball team once again entered the top eight of the World Championships (Men's Basketball World Cup), which made countless fans care and encourage, filled their hearts with joy and felt proud.

Yes, feel proud.

Although it only entered the top eight, it also made countless Huaxia fans proud, because the Huaxia men's basketball team has been silent for too long, and it has not been in the top eight for too long. In the past, almost every time it was a round of the group stage, I was eliminated in the group stage, and I couldn't even qualify for the group stage. Even if I could qualify for the group stage, I couldn't pass the first round of the knockout stage.

But this time the Huaxia men's basketball team did it, with 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, defeated France in the first round of the knockout round, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Isn't this something to be happy about?

Of course, Ning Yi is a name that people must mention.

Not to mention Ning Yi's performance in the group stage, but in this knockout match, Ning Yi scored 42 points, plus 6 assists and 6 rebounds, shining in the audience, and even the entire Men's Basketball World Cup. The 42 points scored in a single game is also the most scored in a single game in this Men's Basketball World Cup.

This battle also made people have to re-examine Ning Yi's strength, especially Ning Yi's talent in scoring.

The French team is not a weak team, and there is an NBA star like Batum at the small forward position, but it still allows Ning Yi to get whatever he wants, scoring points like a pocket, unstoppable.

Everyone can see that it's not that the French team doesn't take defense seriously, but that they really can't stop it. Ning Yi has a precise mid-range shot, a sharp three-pointer, and a beautiful pass, which makes the defender stretched , will always lose sight of the other.

What shocked people the most was Ning Yi's ability to fight.

Even in the 2013-14 season, Ning Yi played an amazing rookie season in the NBA, but his confrontation ability is still criticized by the outside world, which is the biggest weakness of the Huaxia people.

But looking at Ning Yi today, this weakness seems to no longer exist.

At this time, Huaxia, including Yao Ming, Zhao Hai and others, are full of expectations for Ning Yi and the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. It is not limited to this Men's Basketball World Cup, but the future.

Ning Yi's growth is too fast, what level will he reach in two or three years?

By that time, entering the top eight in the Men's Basketball World Cup may not be the goal of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, but will only be taken for granted.

At the same time, the Timberwolves management in the United States is also extremely happy.

Many NBA players participated in the Men's Basketball World Cup, including many rookies and young players. Many teams sent scouts to Spain to observe the players on the spot.

At the same time, the management and coaching staff of many teams are also paying attention to the Spanish Men's Basketball World Cup and the performance of their players, and the Timberwolves are no exception.

When seeing Ning Yi's performance in the group stage, the Timberwolves management was already very happy.

When this knockout match was over, the Timberwolves management, including Coach Adelman and other members of the coaching staff, were all shocked. After the surprise, there was ecstasy.

Although people knew from Ning Yi's performance last season that Ning Yi's progress was very fast, they still didn't expect that Ning Yi would improve so much in the past few months.

The faster Ning Yi progresses, the more he improves, and the stronger his strength, the better for the Timberwolves!

The only thing that makes Sanders depressed is that the renewal contract with Ning Yi has not been signed yet, and the price increase is inevitable. This Sanders has no opinion. After all, Ning Yi deserves a big contract. He is just afraid of Ning Yi Snatched away by other teams.

"Well, I have to take some time to have a good chat with Ning, and sign the contract extension as soon as possible." Sanders thought to himself, a little unable to restrain himself, picked up the phone, and dialed Downey's number, "Donnie, yes Such"

On September 8, the first round of the knockout round was over.

In the end, eight teams advanced, that is, the quarterfinals, namely China, Spain, Serbia, Brazil, the United States, Slovenia, Lithuania, and Turkey.

Among them, the Serbian team was an upset. With the fourth counterattack in Group A, they defeated the Greek team that ranked first in Group B, and still won the Greek team by 18 points with 90:72.

On September 11, after two days of recuperation, the second round of the knockout round officially started.

The Huaxia men's basketball team ushered in their opponent, the Spanish team ranked first in Group A.

This is an 8-for-4 game, and the winning team will advance to the semi-finals.

For the Spanish team, entering the semi-finals is not the goal, their goal is the championship, although it is difficult to achieve with the US team in the front, but the Spanish team has Gasol, Rubio, Ibaka, Fernandez , Calderon, the lineup is very strong, and the ambition is naturally great, that is, to compete with the US team.

Against the Spanish team, the Huaxia men's basketball team is under a lot of pressure.

On the sidelines, everyone gathered around Gong Luming. Gong Luming spread out the tactical board and explained the tactics. When he raised his eyes, he found that everyone was a little loose. The goal is set, it doesn’t matter if we win or not?”

Everyone was silent.

I have to say that this is indeed what many people think in their hearts. Anyway, they have already entered the top eight and achieved their goals, and the Spanish team is indeed too strong. For this game, most players have no hope in their hearts.

Of course, it's just the majority, not everyone, at least not Ning Yi.

This is different from where they are. In the eyes of others, Spain has Gasol, Ibaka, Rubio, Calderon, so many NBA players, and any one of them is better than them. How can they win?

And Ning Yi has played against these people, and his mentality is very peaceful. He doesn't feel that he is inferior to others, and he doesn't feel that he is a dwarf. Even if the opponent is the Spanish team, there are so many NBA players, but so what?

More importantly, Ning Yi never felt that entering the top eight is the ultimate goal. In his opinion, entering the top eight is the goal, but it is only a minimum goal.

"Hmph." Gong Luming snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Is this what you are promising? You are satisfied if you enter the top eight. If this is the case, I can only say that I am very disappointed with you, very disappointed."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and bowed their heads.

"Coach." Ning Yi said: "I have never regarded it as the ultimate goal to enter the top eight. This is just a basic task. Now that the basic task is completed, our journey is not over yet. I want to go further and enter the semi-finals. The final, and even the final. Other teams can do it, why can't we?"

Gong Luming nodded in relief, and said to the others: "Have you all heard that? This is the attitude we should have. Adjust your mentality for me. If anyone can't play well on the court, then give it to me." Wait until the bench is worn."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Looking at the crowd, Gong Luming shook his head secretly. Although he had said what he said, it's hard to say how much everyone listened to and how many people really adjusted their mentality.
