"Wait to put the defensive focus on Harden, and Harden must be restricted."

A few minutes into the second quarter, the Timberwolves were still behind. Adelman called a timeout, began to replace the main players, and said: "Howard is in such a good state today, it is difficult to limit him, but we You can’t let Harden play like this, do you understand?”

"Understood." Ning Yi nodded.

The Timberwolves players responded one after another, expressing their understanding.

The Rockets are very strong. If both Harden and Howard perform well, even with the current strength of the Timberwolves, they may not be able to defeat them.

There are no underdogs in the nba, especially at this time.

After a moment, the pause ends.

Swish!

Go in.

This is not the first time Ning Yi has scored points on Howard. Howard is also very helpless. Ning Yi has too many scoring methods, grasps the timing, and uses skills too delicately, which makes him helpless.

But then Howard fought back on the offensive end, got an offensive rebound, and scored a second offense.

For the Timberwolves, Love and Martin started to shoot, and they scored one after another. However, a group of role players from the Rockets played well. Trevor Ariza hit a three-pointer and Jones made a mid-range shot. The difference between the two sides was always only a few points.

"beep"

The second half begins.

As soon as he came up, Harden fired from the outside and hit a three-pointer, widening the point difference to 8 points.

"It's already 8 points. If we pull it to more than 10 points, it will be bad for us." Ning Yi glanced at the scoreboard, gestured to his teammates, and everyone pulled away.

Ning Yi singled out Ariza, took a tentative step, and then suddenly started. Ariza retreated quickly, but Ning Yi stopped suddenly, and his center of gravity was raised.

"Do you want to pull?" Ariza's heart jumped, and he quickly raised his center of gravity, ready to jump.

At this moment, Ning Yi quickly lowered his center of gravity, changed direction, and left Ariza behind in an instant, killing him to the inside in two steps.

Howard stepped forward, as if a wall of people stood in front of Ning Yi, he was very cautious, did not jump hastily, but raised his arms, like a cheetah, waiting for an opportunity.

The next moment, Ning Yi jumped up.

"court death!"

Howard also jumped up. Although he is a center forward, his excellent physical fitness allows him to bounce and bounce better than many inside players. With his height and long arms, although he took off half a beat slower, his hands still held Ning Yi's head shrouded.

At this time, Ning Yi's body vacated and suddenly curled up.

"Pull the lever? Humph!"

Behind, Ariza came after him. Originally, he had already been passed by Ning Yi, but in order to avoid Howard's block, Ning Yi stayed in the air and just gave Ariza time. He jumped up and prepared to give Ning Yi a big blow. cap.

In the auditorium, the Timberwolves fans became nervous.

"This is the end."

"With Howard in the front and Ariza in the back, there's no space."

Just when the fans thought that Ning Yi's ball was over, they saw Ning Yi suddenly throw the ball behind his shoulder, and the basketball flew out of his shoulder, just over the block of Howard and Ariza, and gave it to the middle.

Howard was taken aback for a moment, Ariza was surprised, and even looked at the basketball.

Seeing this, Ariza couldn't help but change his face. Turner didn't know when he got rid of the defender and was cutting in from the middle. He happened to receive a pass from Ning Yi and flew up.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Turner dunked with both hands.

Huge cheers erupted from the auditorium, and most of the cheers were for Ning Yi. Ning Yi's pass was so beautiful, unexpected, and no one expected it, but he passed it just right.

As for Turner's dunk, it's nothing special.

Harden looked at Ning Yi, took a deep breath, and faced Turner's defense after coming to the frontcourt. He was a breakthrough directly. Harden's first step was very fast, and his confrontation ability was also very strong. He accelerated from Turner's side Passing through, seeing Love coming forward, Harden jumped up and threw the ball to the basket with one hand.

It looked like a throw, but it was actually a pass. Howard jumped up, caught the basketball in the air, and took advantage of the opportunity to make an alley-oop dunk.

"It's also a pass."

"Harden is paying back."

"The two met"

In the auditorium, the fans were surprised and excited.

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes, smiled coldly, and quickly fought back, but this time it was not a pass.

"The ball." Ning Yi ran backwards and asked for the ball from Rubio. When the ball passed, Ning Yi half-turned, tapped his right foot in front of him, and Ariza retreated subconsciously.

At this moment, Ning Yi jumped up and made a three-pointer.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the ball went hollow into the net.

It was another three-pointer. Everyone looked at Harden. Harden's eyes rolled, and then he also made a step-back three-pointer. The arc of the shot was very high. The basketball crossed a big arc and finally hit .

The fans in the auditorium were excited.

This is a confrontation between the stars of the two sides. If you have an assist, I will also have an assist. If you have a three-pointer, I will also have a three-pointer.

A fan blushed excitedly and shouted: "Unfortunately, the two are not directly facing each other."

But soon he saw Ning Yi and Harden facing each other directly. Ning Yi used his teammates' pick-and-roll to pull down the right side. Harden and his teammates switched defenses, and it became him to defend Ning Yi.

Ning Yi's eyes lit up, and he gestured to his teammates to pull them away, and then started singles. Harden lowered his center of gravity, his beard shook, and stared at Ning Yi without blinking.

laugh!

Suddenly, Ning Yi started and broke through from the left side. Seeing Harden move the center of gravity quickly, Ning Yi immediately dribbled the ball behind his back, and the ball returned to the right hand side. The speed broke out completely, and he rushed past Harden in an instant .

After taking a step forward, Ning Yi stopped, looked at Harden, and couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, although Harden is not slow to accelerate in a straight line, his lateral movement is much slower." At this time, Harden could not fully pounce, Of course Ning Yi would not let go of such a good opportunity, he jumped up lightly and flicked his wrist in the air.

Swish!

This kind of ball, Ning Yi is very sure.

Then it was replaced by Ning Yi to defend Harden. Harden planned to return one, but when Ning Yi was in front of him, he knew that it would not be so easy for him to return one. Ning Yi moved fast and had a strong defensive awareness, haha Harden's fake moves were basically seen by Ning Yi. In this case, it was difficult for Harden to break through, so he could only use his signature to step back.
