The King of the NBA

On the court, the Timberwolves still have the advantage.

In terms of lineup, the Raptors and the Timberwolves have some gaps, not only the main lineup, but also the rotation lineup. Although there is Lou Williams, the Raptors only have him as a strong point, and the others are not so good. up.

On the Timberwolves side, there is a rotation lineup such as Whiteside, Jokic, Shabatz, Turner, and Jack. Even if there is no main player, they can still suppress the Raptors.

Seeing this situation, Coach Dorsey was a little helpless. Whether it is the main lineup or the rotation lineup, they have some gaps compared with the Timberwolves. It is difficult to beat the Timberwolves.

Of course, the game is only the first quarter.

Soon the first quarter ended, and the Timberwolves led the Raptors by 33:23.

After entering the second quarter, Adelman sent Love up, not intending to give the Raptors a chance to breathe. He has Ning Yi and Love on his side, which can be used in rotation, while the opponent has only one Delo Thumbs up.

Without Ning Yi on the field, Love has unlimited firepower, and he has completely released it, as if he has returned to the previous Timberwolves, low singles, outside shots, and a lot of rebounds.

After a few minutes, the point difference has widened to 15 points.

At this time, Coach Dorsey had to call a timeout, make another substitution, and replace DeRozan.

Here, Adelman also made a substitution: "Ning, you go. You don't need to score too many points. You just need to control the situation. We already have the upper hand. As long as we control the rhythm well, the victory will be ours."

"Well, I understand." Ning Yi nodded, he is no longer the rookie he used to be, now he knows exactly what to do, now his side is leading, and in terms of strength, his side also has an advantage, as long as he defends against Stay at DeRozan's point, and then control the rhythm of the game, just as Adelman said, the victory will be theirs.

Returning to the field, Ning Yi is still responsible for defending DeRozan.

Seeing Ning Yi, DeRozan couldn't help frowning, he was not afraid of Ning Yi, and even wanted to have a one-on-one match with Ning Yi, but thinking of the current situation of the team and the coach's instructions, he could only hold back Resisting this impulse, he deliberately pulled Ning Yi away, and then used the pick-and-roll to contain the defense and create opportunities for his teammates.

This game cannot be won by DeRozan alone, they must all play well, and the first task of DeRozan is to activate his teammates and let them score.

Only by scoring can players find their status.

Swish!

This time it was not bad, the Raptors scored successfully.

But when he turned around, Ning Yi immediately returned one. Terrence Ross was still defending him. Ning Yi was already familiar with the defense of Terrence Ross. While dribbling, he looked at the situation on the field, and his mind flashed Action: "The opponent just scored one. At this time, we must also score. Well, although the coach said that I don't need to score too many points, I must stand up and score at the critical moment. At the critical moment, I must score the ball. Go in, and I'm more sure than anyone else."

The next moment, Ning Yi made a decision. He dribbled faster, suddenly dribbled under his crotch, lowered his center of gravity, sank his left shoulder, and made a breakthrough to the left.

Terrence Ross was fooled a lot in the first quarter, and this time he won't be fooled again. He stared straight at Ning Yi's shoulder and took a half step back, but he didn't easily move his center of gravity.

However, Ning Yi didn't want to break through. Seeing Terrence Ross retreat half a step, Ning Yi knew that his goal had been achieved, quickly received the ball, and retreated.

"Not good." Terrence Ross was shocked and rushed forward.

By this time it was too late.

Ning Yi's feet went back outside the three-point line, and he tapped on the floor briskly, his body jumped up, and his wrist flicked.

Swish!

With a soft sound, a three-pointer was hit.

"It's him again." Coach Dorsey changed his color. The ball came too badly. I just scored one on my side. Seeing that there was almost a counterattack. Being disturbed by Ning Yi's three-pointer, it was difficult to counterattack. up.

DeRozan also understands this, but he still has to strive for a counterattack. He began to use his personal ability to score, hoping to use his personal offense to drive the team and set off a wave of counterattacks.

But whenever they are about to launch a counterattack, Ning Yi will always stand up and score to curb their counterattack momentum.

Moreover, Ning Yi acted as the organizer of the Timberwolves team, firmly controlling the rhythm on the offensive end, and did not follow the rhythm of the Raptors, which made DeRozan very helpless.

After a few minutes, the Raptors were still 12 points behind.

"I'm afraid there's no way to reduce the point difference to single digits in this quarter." Coach Dorsey shook his head and began to make substitutions, replacing DeRozan.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman also replaced Ning Yi and gradually replaced the rotation.

When the first half ended, the Timberwolves led by 14 points, which made Coach Dorsey very depressed. No matter what lineup he changed to, he couldn't gain the upper hand. With Ning Yi in control of the overall situation, this game was really difficult to play.

After halftime, Ning Yi scored 15 points, plus 7 assists and 5 rebounds. The statistics are not so gorgeous, but his role is beyond doubt, and everyone can see it.

"This is the leader,"

"Ning is getting more and more mature."

"Awesome!"

In the auditorium, the home fans were excited and happy.

When entering the second half, the Timberwolves set off a wave of fierce offense. It is not the best way to continue to consume like this. Adelman means to control the overall situation, not to blindly defend passively. When Ning Yi defeated the opponent in the second quarter Adelman knew that it was time to give the other side a thunderous blow.

So as soon as the third quarter came back, the Timberwolves launched a fierce attack, and the Raptors, who were planning to counterattack, were forced to passively defend before they could set off a counterattack momentum. But they obviously couldn't stop the Timberwolves' attack, and the point difference widened after a few minutes, reaching 17 points.

"It's 17 points, isn't it called a timeout?" Ning Yi looked at Coach Dorsey and sneered in his heart, "Alright, since it's not called a timeout, I'll give it to you."

ball!

Ning Yi ran back and asked Rubio for the ball.

Rubio passed over, and Ning Yi immediately made an accelerated breakthrough, causing the defender to retreat subconsciously, but then Ning Yi dribbled the ball behind his back, retreated back, distanced himself from the defender, and returned to three feet. Outside the point line, raising his hand is another three-pointer.

Swish!

hit.

"Another three points."

"The difference is 20 points."

In the auditorium, the fans exclaimed.

Coach Dorsey's face was gloomy, and he took a deep look at Ning Yi. After all, he sighed helplessly and called a timeout. With a 20-point difference, he was afraid that he would really lose.

Ning Yi walked off the court, greeted with hugs from his teammates and cheers from tens of thousands of fans in the auditorium. His name resounded throughout the arena.
