The King of the NBA
Chapter 347 Unprecedented Cohesion
"We still lost."
"Damn, lost to Timberwolves again."
When the flute sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 126:111, and the Raptors lost to the Timberwolves again. The Raptors players had dark faces and were very unwilling.
This is not their first loss to the Timberwolves this season.
In fact, the two sides met twice this season. The Raptors lost both games, which made them feel very ashamed. DeRozan was even more dazed and lost. Victory, even though he still scored 28 points in this game, he felt very uncomfortable.
Players from both sides hugged as usual, and then the Raptors players returned to the locker room. Coach Dorsey walked in the crowd, patted DeRozan's arm, and said: "The game is over, don't worry about it. The regular season is coming to an end. The important thing is to prepare for the playoffs, the Timberwolves are the Western Conference team, you know what I mean?"
"Understood." DeRozan nodded, and said: "This may be the last time we will play against the Timberwolves this season. The outcome has already been decided, so there is no point in thinking about it."
"Well." Coach Dorsey smiled.
The Timberwolves are the Western team, the Raptors are the Eastern team, there are the Warriors in the West, and the Cavaliers in the East. Whether it is the Timberwolves or the Raptors, if they want to meet in the playoffs, they need to face terrible challenges.
Before the Raptors fail to win the Eastern Conference championship, it is meaningless to consider how to avenge the Timberwolves, but even though that is said, DeRozan still feels unwilling.
At the same time, on the court, Ning Yi entered the player channel early. The ESPN reporter failed to catch him, so he could only hold Le Fu and interview him: "Kevin, you played very well in today's game. Excuse me. How did you manage to suppress the Raptors in the whole game, so that the Raptors could not launch a counterattack?"
Love said: "Today we played very well, defended very well, and successfully restricted the opponent. Especially Ning, he restricted DeRozan, which is self-evident for the game. And Offensively, oh, I have to say, Ning is really good, he can always score at the critical moment, even if the opponent defends him hard, but he can always score. He controls the game, if it is me , may not be able to do so well.”
The reporter asked again: "Kevin, what do you mean, Ning You is better than him?"
Love smiled and said, "Ning and I don't play in the same position. We all have our own tasks and we will try our best to do our best. But Ning is really good. He can score, assist and rebound. , he's like LeBron James. Yeah, I think he's as good as LeBron."
After saying this, Le Fu will not say more.
However, the ESPN reporter was keenly aware of something, and at the post-match press conference, she asked Coach Adelman, bluntly: "Coach Adelman, I would like to ask, is Ning the leader of the Timberwolves now? "
"Yes." Adelman nodded without hesitation, "The leader of the Timberwolves is Ning, he is the wolf king. Although he is still very young, the players respect and trust him, and I believe he will lead the team to greater success." good grade."
Wow!
For a while, the audience was in an uproar.
Although this is not a secret, the outside world has already speculated, but there is no official announcement, and it is the first time that Adelman has been so outspoken and admitted directly.
This is almost an official announcement!
Adelman didn't care, and said: "Ning's performance is obvious to all. He has won trust and respect with his abilities and talents, and won the support and approval of his teammates. A team needs a leader, and Ning is the leader of the Timberwolves. , I'm not worried about his ability, it just makes us stronger."
A group of reporters were shocked and thoughtful.
A team needs a leader, because with a leader, the team can have cohesion and burst out the most powerful force.
There is no doubt that, as Adelman said, the Timberwolves will become more cohesive and stronger, and they will be the most powerful in the playoffs.
When the news came out, the fans were in an uproar.
Some people are arguing, some people think that Ning Yi is too young, some people think that Ning Yi has enough strength, age is not a problem at all; some people complain about Le Fu, but Le Fu publicly recognized the identity of Ning Yi's leader, what else do others have? Easy to say?
In fact, it was the other teams in the West that felt the biggest impact.
Especially the teams that can enter the playoffs feel the pressure at this time. The Timberwolves have become more cohesive and their strength will naturally become stronger. When it comes to the playoffs, this will be a terrible opponent.
Of course, no one dared to underestimate the Timberwolves before this.
The performance of the Timberwolves this season is obvious to all. They can firmly occupy the second position in the Western Conference. There is no need to doubt their strength, but they are young after all, and the debate over who is the boss between Ning Yi and Love has not stopped. The problem is nothing, but it will be highlighted in the playoffs.
This is also a point that can be exploited for teams that encounter the Timberwolves in the playoffs.
But now this point that can be used is gone, and the Timberwolves have lost another weakness, becoming more invulnerable and stronger. When they meet in the playoffs, will they still have a chance to beat the Timberwolves?
Even the Warriors, who have the No. 1 record in the Western Conference in the regular season, can't help but feel dignified at this time.
The top four teams in the West are the Warriors, Timberwolves, Rockets, and Clippers. They will not meet in the first round. In the eyes of the Warriors, the Timberwolves should not be underestimated, even if they may face the Rockets in the second round. They may not necessarily lose, mainly because the Timberwolves lineup is too strong this season, the two major stars Ning Yi and Love, as well as Martin, Turner, Rubio, even the biggest background problem of last season and this season are also Solved, a group of substitute players is very powerful.
In this way, the Timberwolves have already made the Warriors feel threatened.
Now that Ning Yi has become the wolf king, the team is becoming more and more cohesive, which makes the Warriors even more afraid.
But at this time, the Timberwolves are unprecedentedly cohesive. There is only half a month left in the regular season. They are actively preparing for the playoffs in their best condition.
Ning Yi is also training hard. He has already reached the threshold of level 8 shooting. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through, so he has to push himself further and try to break through earlier.
There are many strong enemies in the west, the Warriors, the Rockets, even the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies behind are not easy to deal with. If they don't break through to level 9, Ning Yi will always have no idea.
Only when he breaks through to level 9, even if it's just a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, will he have a huge improvement in his strength, and he will be more confident in the playoffs.
