The King of the NBA

Dallas, Texas, American Airlines Center Arena.

Today is the fourth game of this series between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves. The Mavericks' home court is full of Mavericks fans as far as the eye can see, and the atmosphere is in full swing.

However, while it was in full swing, it was also obvious that the Mavericks fans were a little nervous, their expressions were uneasy, and they were whispering in small groups.

"It's a fight to the death."

"Yeah, if you lose this game, it will be completely over."

"Even if we win this game, it will be very difficult to come back. In the history of the NBA, there is no team that can come back after falling behind 0:3 in the playoffs."

"Maybe we can create a miracle."

"A miracle? That's too difficult, and the odds are too low."

"Even if we still lose this series in the end, we must win at least one game, and we cannot be swept away 0:4."

"Yes, at least one game must be won. It cannot be swept 0:4. In any case, this game must be won."

This series has played three games, and the Timberwolves won all three games, leading the Mavericks 3:0.

Under such circumstances, the Mavericks are undoubtedly on the verge of life and death. It can even be said that they have basically lost hope of advancing to the second round, but even so, there is a difference between 1:4 and 0:4. One is Defeated, but one was swept away!

"coming."

At this time, the uproar broke out suddenly, and countless Mavericks fans stood up and booed the court loudly.

Ning Yi, Love, Rubio and others came out of the player tunnel and were instantly overwhelmed by huge boos. Jokic and Clarkson couldn't help but change their faces. In comparison, the atmosphere is obviously different.

"It's okay, just get used to it." Le Fu patted the two of them and said with a smile.

Jokic and Clarkson nodded and took a few deep breaths to calm themselves down.

Today's atmosphere is too terrifying, the momentum is overwhelming, the boos of tens of thousands of fans exploded in the ears like thunder, Clarkson opened his mouth, but chose to shut up, because no matter what he said, no one else could hear .

At this moment, the boos weakened and turned into cheers that shook the sky.

"Damn." Clarkson was taken aback and couldn't help cursing.

This time the cheers were terrifying and deafening.

I saw the Mavericks players coming out one after another, all of them very serious, with a strong murderous look on their faces, and they didn't hide it at all.

"It seems that the Mavericks are going to fight today." Clarkson muttered.

"It's a matter of life and death, of course we have to fight." Jokic said: "Even if you will lose in the end, but at least you will win one game, and you will feel more comfortable."

Clarkson nodded: "Yes."

Jokic and Clarkson are rookies after all, while Ning Yi, Love and others have experienced this a long time ago. They were not affected by the fans and Mavericks players at all, and went on the field to warm up on their own.

After some warm-up, the game started.

"Pull away."

The German chariot raised the ball, and his teammates pulled it away. He hugged the ball, with his right foot a little in front of him, and then jumped up suddenly, leaning back. With his height and long arms, Love could barely reach out to cover his body. line of sight.

Swish!

The ball still went in.

From the beginning of the game, Nowitzki played very aggressively. He is the leader of the team. This kind of critical game naturally requires him to stand up and take responsibility.

Here, Ning Yi responded quickly.

Everyone pulled away, Ning Yi singled out Parsons, and Nowitzki was waiting behind him. Ning Yi glanced at it, and made a decision in his heart. He changed direction and accelerated, shouted loudly, his muscles were knotted, and his strength completely exploded. Stepping across the border from Parsons, the two made physical contact, Parsons was shocked and pushed away.

After two steps, Ning Yi's whole body's strength has been fully mobilized, and he jumped up against Nowitzki, his legs seemed to be equipped with springs, his body flew into the air, holding the basketball with one hand, and raising his arms high.

"Ooh"

The audience was in an uproar.

Ning Yi was so crazy, he jumped towards Nowitzki, not for a layup, but for a dunk, and he wanted to perform a dunk on Nowitzki's head.

"Huh." Nowitzki was furious and jumped up. He was much taller than Ning Yi, and he was already ready to go. At this time, his arms were raised like a wall of people. day.

And under the big hand like a cattail fan that covered the sky and covered the sun, the orange basketball rose up, and with Ning Yi's arm, he was still rising, as if he had escaped gravity, holding the basketball with his right hand, he even passed Nuo With his fingertips and bent wrist, Wieski controlled the basketball and dunked it towards the hoop.

The fans were stunned and opened their mouths.

Hearing only a "clang", Ning Yi hung on the hoop with one hand, his body swayed, knocking Nowitzki into the air, and he swayed in the air, descending like a god.

"hiss"

In the auditorium, the fans gasped and felt shocked.

When they reacted, long boos burst out, and the Mavericks fans couldn't stand it anymore. Ning Yi actually buckled Nowitzki, which made them angry and unacceptable.

The deafening boos came, and Ning Yi frowned and shook his head: "This is the game, there is no right or wrong in the game, all I do is what he should do as a player."

As for boos, he doesn't care!

This is a battle of life and death, which determines whether the Mavericks will be eliminated and whether the Timberwolves can advance to the second round. Nowitzki is doing what a leader should do, and Ning Yi is the same.

In the battle of life and death, many things are no longer applicable, even the role of tactics is greatly reduced, and more depends on the players themselves.

"Pick and roll."

Ning Yi made a gesture, made a pick-and-roll with Love, and then quickly dribbled a step to the side, before the defender pounced, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

The basketball crossed an arc and pierced through the net with precision.

At this time, eight minutes had passed in the fourth quarter, and Ning Yi had already scored 36 points, plus 6 rebounds and 8 assists. His personal score was the highest in a single game in this series, and also the highest in the entire game at this time.

"At this time, Ning Yi is the real playoff state." Adelman praised: "In the first three games, he still has some reservations."

In fact, it's not that Ning Yi has reservations in front of him, but that Ning Yi pursues high efficiency, so he controls his personal points. Under the condition of ensuring the team wins, scoring doesn't matter.

But this is a life-and-death battle for the Mavericks. The momentum of the Mavericks is amazing. The Timberwolves such as Jokic, Whiteside, Shabatz, Turner and others have been affected to some extent. Ning Yi must stand up. As far as the situation is concerned, it doesn't matter whether he is efficient or not. The important thing is that he has to score in order to help the team.

"Shua!"

On the field, Ning Yi made another mid-range hit, extending the lead to 15 points in one fell swoop.

The Mavericks called for a timeout, but everyone knew their chances of winning were slim.
