The King of the NBA

But for a while, the Suns fell into a disadvantage.

Not to mention the inability to defend the Timberwolves' offense. The key is that when the Suns' own offense also had problems, Whiteside worked hard today to earn a performance. After scoring consecutively on the offensive end, In addition, he also put a lot of pressure on the Suns on the defensive end. He guarded the inside, which made the Suns dare not rush in, and they all shot outside.

"What are you doing?" The Suns coach was angry and yelled at the field.

It's fine if he can't guard against Ning Yi, but let a substitute player play like this, even shrinking and dare not rush into the inside, this kind of performance really disappoints him.

In desperation, the Suns coach could only call another timeout.

Adelman also replaced Ning Yi and Love, and then praised Whiteside and asked him to stay on the court. Since the players performed well, they should be encouraged and praised, which can stimulate their enthusiasm.

Ning Yi was sitting on the sidelines, watching his teammates running on the field, grinning. He played very easily in this quarter, and basically did not encounter any trouble. His personal statistics were not particularly dazzling, but they were very average. He got 7 Points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists.

"To play against a team like the Suns, I really don't need to fight alone. I just need to make a shot at the critical moment and then guide the game. With our current lineup, we can completely crush it, just by crushing it a little bit. "Ning Yi said to himself, relaxed, and turned to chat with Le Fu.

In the remaining time of the first quarter, the Timberwolves continued to expand the point difference by relying on the excellent performance of the rotation lineup. By the end of the first quarter, the point difference had become 13 points.

13 points behind in a single quarter, which made the home fans very dissatisfied.

"How did you play?" The coach of the Suns was also very dissatisfied and under a lot of pressure. He, the coach, was naturally to blame for the way the game was played.

He caught a group of players under him and scolded them, and then spread out the tactics board. Just as he was about to deploy tactics, he froze and felt a headache. The opponent was too strong, how should he deploy this tactics?

In fact, this is no longer a problem that tactics can solve.

If it was Ning Yi and Love who broke out, it would be good to say that the game was like this. As long as you find a way to limit the two of them, whether it is double-teaming or whatever, you can try anyway.

But now Ning Yi and Love haven't exploded yet. Ning Yi scored 7 points in the first quarter, and Love scored 8 points. The total is only 15 points, which is less than half of the Timberwolves' score in the first quarter.

The situation is obvious. The Timberwolves are relying on their overall strength. You can do it, I can do it. It seems that everyone didn't get too many points, but before they knew it, they were ahead by more than ten points.

This is the crushing of the overall strength, and there is almost no solution.

"Wait a minute, let's play like this." The Suns coach racked his brains and made some arrangements.

In fact, the Suns coach has no idea whether these arrangements are useful or not. The game requires strategy and tactics, and it also depends on the performance of the players. The Timberwolves' performance today is undoubtedly very good. Still playing well, the Suns are very difficult.

In the subsequent games, the Suns still fell into a disadvantage.

Ning Yi played very steadily, not too dazzling, but very efficient, and very comprehensive, scoring, rebounding, assists, all are not bad.

And Love exploded.

Love scored 12 points alone in the second quarter and 11 points in the third quarter. After three quarters, his personal score reached 31 points. Under his leadership, the Timberwolves completely defeated the Suns and took the lead in three quarters Beat the Suns by as many as 19 points.

"I can't watch this game."

"I can't stand it anymore."

"How did you fight? It's like this. It's one-sided."

Even the home fans couldn't stand it anymore. Many people got up and left because they couldn't see hope. If they continued to stay, they would only feel more disappointed.

On the sidelines, the Suns players were downcast and depressed.

Especially Bledsoe, he didn't play for a long time today, and when he went up, he was targeted by Ning Yi, and every time he played singles in a misplaced position, he had no temper at all, and he really couldn't guard against Ning Yi.

It doesn't matter if you can't defend against one, and it doesn't matter if you have two, but with so many, his own mentality collapsed, and he played a few "balloon fights", but he didn't make it, and his back became weak.

So the Suns coach didn't let Bledsoe play for a long time, and sat on the bench most of the time.

In the three quarters of the game, Bledsoe only scored a poor 4 points, plus 1 rebound and 1 assist. This is not his regular performance at all, which is surprising.

In the fourth quarter, the point difference became bigger and bigger. When Ning Yi got another offensive rebound and assisted his teammates to score, Adelman replaced Ning Yi.

With a score difference of 21 points, the game has become garbage time.

At this time, people suddenly realized that before they knew it, Ning Yi had already scored 18 points, plus 11 assists and 10 rebounds, which turned out to be a triple-double.

This is Ning Yi's first triple-double in his career!

At the press conference after the game, the reporter also asked Ning Yi: "Ning, what do you think of your triple-double today?"

Ning Yi smiled and said: "I just focus on the game, do what I think I should do, shoot, pass, and rebound. I didn't count how many points, how many assists, how many rebounds. Frankly speaking , I didn't think about that triple-double, but I'm still very happy to get a triple-double, this is my first triple-double."

The reporter asked again: "So, do you think you can get a triple-double next time? Or, when are you going to get another triple-double next time?"

"Oh." Ning Yi scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "I really don't know about this. Triple-doubles are not so easy to get. And I won't deliberately pursue triple-doubles. Who knows when the next triple-double will be?"

The reporters suddenly laughed.

This answer was quite satisfactory, but just one day later, the Timberwolves returned to the home target center and played against the Bucks at home. Ning Yi "unknowingly" scored 21 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds. Triple pair data.

Many people started complaining, didn't you say you don't know, why is it another quasi-triple-double after only one day?

Some people think that Ning Yi must have done it on purpose. Like Russell Westbrook, he is addicted to triple-doubles.

For this reason, the reporter specially connected Ning Yi, and Ning Yi also gave an answer: "This time it is a quasi-triple-double. Strictly speaking, this is not a triple-double, is it? And, I didn't mean to get a triple-double. That's not my style."

This statement has been questioned.

Because after these two times, Ning Yi's lack of rebound data began to increase. He used to average only 5.6 rebounds per game, but now he can win 7 or even 8 in a game.
