The King of the NBA

"Ning, you are now a billionaire."

"By the way, you haven't entertained guests yet, but you must treat them when you return to Minneapolis."

"Tsk tsk, it's only been two short years, and you've earned more money than I've earned in all my years in the NBA."

"That's Ning's strength and talent. If you can be as powerful as him, you will be a billionaire now."

This is an away game, the Suns' locker room, and the Timberwolves will laugh and tease Ning Yi.

Everyone knows that Ning Yi signed a lot of big contracts during this period. Although the contract amount is confidential, everyone can guess that it will definitely not be too small.

In addition, Ning Yi's All-Star vote surpassed James and became the top voter, so everyone always loves to tease him.

"Hehe, the treat is certain, don't worry." Ning Yi smiled and said: "But we have to wait until we return to Minneapolis, we have to win this game first."

"Haha, of course."

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

"In order to treat you, we must take it down today."

Everyone laughed.

Today the Timberwolves played away against the Suns, and the opponents are not very strong, so the Timberwolves have a relaxed atmosphere, and they are bound to win this game.

The game that can be won must be won, this is Adelman's request!

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began.

The starting lineup sent by the Suns today is center Alex Len, power forward Markieff Morris, small forward PJ Tucker, shooting guard Eric Bledsoe, and point guard Goran Dragic.

Their lineup is relatively balanced. Alex Len and Markieff Morris on the inside have height, small forward Tucker has height, and is a reasonable candidate to defend Ning Yi. Not outstanding, but very fast, strong physical confrontation ability, and Dragic, he has an excellent overall view and good scoring ability. He is the best player in the Suns today.

It is true that compared with the Timberwolves, the Suns lack talent and depth, but they are indeed well-balanced and have no obvious weaknesses.

Such a team is very troublesome. They are very balanced. Maybe everyone is not outstanding, but everyone may be in good condition.

Once everyone is in good condition, the team strength from their balanced lineup will be like a wave, overwhelming the opponent.

Therefore, if a team like the Suns does not play well, their strength can only be considered average, but if they play well, it is not surprising that they can win against any team.

After all, there are no underdogs in the nba.

Adelman knew this very well, so before the start of the game, he told everyone: "Don't take it lightly, don't think that the opponent is weak. There are no weak teams in the NBA. Any team that plays well is very scary."

Everyone nodded.

Looking at the regular season every year, there is no lack of upsets. It can be seen that although the 30 teams in the nba are strong and weak, the gap in strength is not a world of difference. After all, nba has developed for so many years, and there have been many rules to restrict One family dominates, or the strength deviation is too large, otherwise the strength is too disparate, what is there to see?

The so-called west is strong and the east is weak is just a vague concept. If the west is really strong and unrivaled, how can the Heat win the championship?

"Snapped!"

Dieng shot the ball to the backcourt, Martin took the ball and passed it to Rubio, Rubio started to advance, and immediately handed the ball to Ning Yi after reaching the frontcourt.

After more than a month of trials, Ning Yi has gradually won the recognition of the players, his leadership qualities have become more prominent, and his position in the team has become clearer.

Almost every game, every attack, the ball will go to Ning Yi's hands.

Love is still one of the most important scoring points for the Timberwolves, but the starting point of the Timberwolves' offense has changed from Love to Ning Yi. Ning Yi can attack by himself and organize. With him, the attack will be more changeable .

"Pick and roll."

Dion came up to pick and roll, and Ning Yi quickly threw off the defender.

How dare the Suns relax Ning Yi. When they saw Dion coming to pick and roll, they immediately switched defenses. The person defending Ning Yi changed from Tucker to Bledsoe.

Bledsoe is 185 cm tall, and Ning Yi is 203 cm tall. They are typical tall players and short players, but Ning Yi's best scoring defense is shooting. This is like Durant, with his height and shooting, there is almost no solution.

Ning Yi did not hesitate, made a breakthrough, and then suddenly pulled out.

Bledsoe reacted quickly and jumped up quickly. He also jumped very high, but obviously underestimated Ning Yi's bounce, and also forgot the height gap between the two. His hands could only reach Ning Yi's elbow, There is no way to touch the ball at all.

I saw Ning Yi's wrist flicked, and with a swish, the ball hit hollow, and scored a steady mid-range shot.

"After switching defenses, put it up a little bit, and there is help defense. We can't give Ning such a chance." The Suns coach shouted from the sidelines. It is too easy for Ning Yi to play Bledsoe one-on-one after switching defenses.

The only way for Bledsoe is to pray that Ning Yi will not make it.

But this kind of attack is really comfortable for Ning Yi, there is no reason not to enter at all, and he feels very good today.

Only a minute later, Ning Yi found Bledsoe again. It was almost the same situation as before. Ning Yi ate Bledsoe alone and threw another one on his head.

The Suns players wanted to come over to help defend, but they were afraid of passing the ball with Ning Yi. Even if they were helping to defend, they didn't dare to pass too early. By the time they reacted, it was already too late.

Seeing this situation, the Suns coach hesitated, should he replace Bledsoe?

From the perspective of matchup, the Suns do not have a weakness, but once they are misplaced and Ning Yi eats Bledsoe alone, Bledsoe will become a weakness.

However, although Bledsoe was beaten twice by Ning Yi, his role on the offensive end is very important. His breakthrough, his shooting, and moving speed are all important components of the Suns' offense. If he is replaced, Who will make up for this link?

Because of this, the Suns coach did not immediately change.

Seeing that the opponent did not change players, Ning Yi simply grabbed Bledsoe to fight, went around, and continued to pick and roll. Anyway, he wanted to form a single-playing Bledsoe situation.

In the beginning, Ning Yi relied on his height advantage, coupled with his fast shooting speed. Suddenly, he needed to score points on Bledsoe's head, which made Bledsoe angry and increased the interference of his body. chance to get up. But in this way, Ning Yi became a continuous breakthrough again, because Ning Yi was too close, and Ning Yi was almost accurate.

This makes Bledsoe depressed. Ning Yi will shoot if he is a little far away, and Ning Yi will shoot if he is close. The key is that Ning Yi still has a beautiful pass. As long as you help defend, he can always pass the ball to the most suitable location.

"Oh." The Suns coach shook his head and sighed, calling a timeout.
