The King of the NBA

Lakeshore area.

This is a magnificent villa with a swimming pool and a small basketball court. It only has half the space, but it is already a luxury to build half a basketball court in one's own yard in this kind of place.

Ning Yi is training, shirtless, with smooth muscle lines. He doesn't look burly, not the explosive muscles of those bodybuilding stars, but streamlined. Under the premise of ensuring sufficient strength and explosive power, he will not lose Agile and flexible, it looks very comfortable.

Sweat drenched his forehead, cheeks, and upper body, shining in the evening sun.

"Shua!"

I saw Ning Yi dribble a step with the ball, and then jumped up suddenly. The whole movement was done in one go, as quickly as lightning, the basketball flew out of his fingertips in an instant, drew an arc, and pierced through the net.

Ning Yi's shooting speed is very fast, and the hit rate is also very high. The key is stability. Every shot is almost exactly the same, without any difference, as if someone has measured it with a ruler.

Picking up the basketball, Ning Yi made another shot, still a hollow hit.

"Your current level is already very good." The voice of the system sounded in Ning Yi's mind, "Although you haven't broken through to level 9 in any technology, your strength has fully reached level 9. In fact, you His shooting is already very close to the peak of level 8, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to level 9."

Ning Yi's eyes lit up and asked, "CIC or three-pointer?"

"Mid-range shots and three-pointers." The system said: "Your shooting has no shortcomings. Mid-range shots are similar to three-pointers. Both of them are very close to the peak of level 8. Once you reach the peak of level 8, you can automatically break through to 9. Level. At that time, your strength will have a leap, and you will be stronger than you are now."

"Yeah." Ning Yi rejoiced in his heart, his pupils glowing.

When your shooting breaks through to level 9, even if it's just one of the mid-range shots or three-pointers, then your strength may surpass some players who have reached level 9 with a single skill.

Not all players who reach level 9 are equally strong.

For example, Ning Yi, he does not have any of the skills to reach level 9, but his overall strength is level 9. Compared with a player with level 9 three-point ability like Curry, he is still a little bit worse.

Another example is that some players' defensive ability reaches level 9, or their running ability reaches level 9, and their shooting ability reaches level 9, but they are much worse in other aspects, which seriously hinders them. The actual level may be the bottom of level 9. When it comes to the game, if you just look at the personal data, it may not be as good as some 8th-level players.

After all, basketball skills are divided into many items, not all of which can be reflected in personal statistics, and if other aspects are too poor, even if one of them is level 9, it will not help and will be pulled down to this level.

Therefore, it is finally reflected in the personal data, the performance on the court is not a single technical level, but the overall strength.

After some training, Ning Yi stopped.

"When can I break through to level 9?" Ning Yi said to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.

The further you go, the harder it is to improve your strength. It is difficult to go from level 7 to level 8, and it is even more difficult to go from level 8 to level 9. Even if Ning Yi reaches the peak of level 8, he can automatically advance, but it is not necessary to reach the peak of level 8. so easy.

After all, the peak of level 8 is already very close to level 9, and level 9 represents the peak level of nba, the highest of the 9 levels, how is it so easy? According to the system, this is a bottleneck. Wanting to advance requires not only training, but also comprehension, but Ning Yi is still ignorant of what to comprehend.

The next day, the Timberwolves played against the Suns at home.

This is the first game after the All-Star Weekend. The players obviously haven't recovered from the relaxation of the All-Star Weekend.

But this does not include Ning Yi.

Whether it's the All-Star Weekend or the offseason, he has never relaxed his demands on himself. He trains uninterrupted every day and maintains a good competitive state at all times.

This is also one of the reasons why Ning Yi is stable.

Many players' state fluctuates and their performance is not stable enough. To a large extent, it is not due to their strength, but their own state, which is self-adjustment. The requirements for themselves are not strict enough, which will cause their state to be unstable.

Of course, this is also understandable. After all, athletes are not robots. Like James, who has been demanding on himself for ten years, like Ning Yi, who regards training as part of his life every day, never stops, never slackens. Like People like them are, after all, only a minority.

It is really rare that James is so talented and talented, and he is so strict with himself.

And Ning Yi's talent cannot be compared with James. Even if there is a system, he must work harder than others in order to surpass others.

"Shua!"

On the court, Ning Yi made another three-pointer, rewriting the score to 25:19, and the Timberwolves led by 6 points.

Today, the other Timberwolves players are not in good condition. They obviously don’t feel it. scored 12 points.

"beep"

Adelman called a timeout, and said to Ning Yi, "Come down and take a break first", then turned to look at the others, his face became ugly: "You have become like this in a comprehensive weekend. You are professionals Players, but what about your professionalism? Look at Ning Yi, and then look at you."

The players bowed their heads one by one.

Ning Yi was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and smiled shyly.

Ning Yi was replaced during this timeout. After Adelman reprimanded him, the state of the Timberwolves players changed a little, at least they were more active on defense.

Ning Yi glanced at the field, retracted his gaze, and said to Adelman: "Coach, in fact, it is not difficult for us to win this game."

"I know." Adelman nodded, looked at Ning Yi with relief, and said, "It's not difficult to win this game, but their attitude is very bad. What if it's the playoffs?" He said, Adelman became serious, with a serious face, "Most half of this season has passed, and it's time for us to prepare for the playoffs."

Ning Yi was shocked, and his expression became serious: "Yeah, it's time for us to prepare for the playoffs. Not only to strive for better record and home court advantage, but also in terms of morale and mental state, You have to start adjusting."

In the end, the Timberwolves won the game. Ning Yi scored 28 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds. His personal performance was very stable and comprehensive.

After this game, Adelman began to adjust, making adjustments in all aspects, and the Timberwolves team began to prepare for the playoffs.
