The King of the NBA

Target Center, Minneapolis.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, fans entered the arena one after another.

It can be seen that there are people everywhere outside the Target Center. Many people have not bought tickets, but they still come outside the Target Center arena, waiting to watch the live broadcast on the big screen outside the arena.

People are in groups, holding snacks and cola, talking.

"The Mavericks' performance this season can only be regarded as okay. Is it okay for the Timberwolves to win them?"

"Of course, it's all right. All I care about is how many games?"

"I think five."

"Maybe six games."

"Can't we sweep 4 games?"

"This...is a bit difficult."

Today is the first round of the first round of the Timberwolves playoffs, at home against the Mavericks.

The performance of the Timberwolves last season shocked everyone, but this season, people have more expectations for the Timberwolves, because the Timberwolves played so well this season.

The progress of Ning Yi and Love, the improvement of the lineup, the improvement of player experience, and the improvement of tacit understanding are very obvious in the regular season. There is no doubt that this Timberwolves is stronger than last season.

The Timberwolves stopped in the second round of the playoffs last season, but they will obviously not repeat the same mistakes this season, and what the fans expect is how far can they go?

Fans have entered the arena one after another, and the game is about to start.

"Today is the first game of the playoffs. I don't think I need to say anything more." Adelman's eyes were sharp, his body was imposing, and he waved his hand, "Let's go."

"Yes." Ning Yi, Love, Rubio, Martin, Dion, five people responded loudly and walked onto the court.

The game begins.

The two sides came to the field, and the Mavericks players looked dignified. Their starting lineup today is Tyson Chandler, Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons, Monta Ellis, Rajon Long many.

The average age of the Mavericks lineup is much older than that of the Timberwolves. They have rich experience in the playoffs, such as Nowitzki, Rondo, and Chandler. They have all won championships and have extremely rich experience in the playoffs.

However, the Mavericks also have their disadvantages, that is, the players are too old, and their physical fitness and competitive status are a problem. Compared with the Timberwolves, they lack an enterprising temperament.

So when facing the Timberwolves, the Mavericks feel the pressure.

"The game has started, play well." Nowitzki said to several teammates.

Several people nodded, but their expressions were not relaxed at all.

At the start of the game, the Timberwolves got the ball. Rubio quickly advanced to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Ning Yi.

"Do you want to play singles from the beginning?"

The fans were surprised and then excited.

Ning Yi took a deep breath and started to act. This was his first attack. He chose individual singles. It doesn't matter whether this choice is correct or whether he can score. The important thing is that he has to express his determination—— Of course, being able to score is the best, and it can give the Mavericks a blow.

Seeing that Ning Yi was going to play singles, Chandler Parsons jumped in his heart, quickly lowered his center of gravity, stared at Ning Yi, and thought to himself: "Is he going to break through or shoot?"

Ning Yi can shoot, shoot, and pass the ball. This is his scary place. He is a bit like LeBron James, but the difference between Ning Yi and James is that James' physical talent is too strong. His breakthroughs are almost all Forcibly crushing, and although Ning Yi's current physical fitness is also good, there is no way to compare with James. His breakthrough relies more on fake moves.

For example, now, Ning Yi is dribbling the ball under his crotch, his left shoulder sinks, his body is tilted to the left, and he looks like breaking through to the left. Parsons raised his eyebrows and was about to move to the left, but saw Ning Yi's left wrist After turning a corner, he suddenly realized: "It's a fake move, he didn't go left, but right."

Parsons immediately adjusted his center of gravity and moved to the right.

But at this moment, Ning Yi suddenly slapped the ball down with his left hand, not to the right, but to the left, and the small movement of turning his wrist to the right just now was also a fake movement. His real intention was still to move from the left side. breakthrough!

"Fucked!" Parsons was shocked, and it was too late to stop him.

Ning Yi accelerated, broke through from the left, and rushed to the inside of the Mavericks.

Inside the Mavericks, Tyson Chandler had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ning Yi passing Parsons, he immediately stepped forward and stood in a good position, waiting for Ning Yi to come up.

Ning Yi's pupils contracted, and without a pause, he rushed up and jumped up to face Chandler. Chandler raised his arm, ready to give Ning Yi a big hat, but at this moment, Ning Yi curled up and threw the basketball Withdrawing, as if time had stopped, he actually paused in the air.

"What?" Chandler was stunned, and the person had already started to fall.

At this time, Ning Yi stretched his body. Although he was also falling, he was obviously slower than Chandler. He raised his left hand, held the basketball and stretched it towards the hoop, and gently picked it with his fingers.

Swish!

Go in.

Ning Yi turned around and ran towards his own half.

Chandler and Parsons looked at each other, both a little helpless, what is strength, this is strength, they both know that Ning Yi wants to play singles, but they just can't guard against him.

The home fans were excited, and there was a huge cheer from the auditorium, like a tsunami, flooding the entire arena, and it was still reverberating for a while.

Adelman smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Ning Yi's performance: "This is the head start, this is our home court, if it is the regular season, we can take it slowly, but in the playoffs, we just want to let the opponent know from the beginning Can't win. From the beginning, we're going to play our game."

After this ball, Ning Yi reduced his singles.

At the beginning, it was the head start. It was to give the Mavericks a disarm, let the Mavericks know how powerful they are, and had to be extremely wary of themselves. This goal has been achieved, and there is no need for Ning Yi to blindly play singles. Flexibility is the best way , can also play more efficiently.

What Ning Yi pursues is never how many points to score in a game, but how to play efficiently, how to play the best efficiency value on the field-efficiency value, in fact, is the key to winning.

To use an analogy, a certain star scored 40 points in a game, but his shooting percentage was only 30%, while on another team, no one scored 30 points, but the team's shooting percentage reached 50%.

Under such circumstances, there is no need to say who wins and who loses.

What's more, the Timberwolves have many players who can score. As far as this starting lineup is concerned, besides Ning Yi, there are also Love, Martin, Rubio and Dion who also have certain scoring abilities. If Ning Yi does not play more efficiently, he If one person occupies too many shots, the others will have no chance to play at all.
