The King of the NBA

Houston, Toyota Center.

Today is the third game in this series between the Timberwolves and the Rockets, and the Rockets returned to their home court.

Ning Yi brought Duan Xiaoran to the Toyota Center, and sat on the sidelines to cheer for his teammates, hoping that his teammates could perform well and win the game.

"If you can win this game, you Timberwolves will be much more relaxed." Qin Xuanbing said, she was sitting with Ning Yi and Duan Xiaoran, next to Duan Xiaoran, she arrived last night, and it is said that she is here While participating in some kind of event, Ning Yi and Duan Xiaoran just arrived in Houston this morning.

Hearing Qin Xuanbing's sudden utterance, Ning Yi didn't feel anything, but Duan Xiaoran couldn't help being surprised, and looked at Qin Xuanbing: "Bingbing, don't you like basketball? Do you still understand this?"

"I..." Qin Xuanbing was a little flustered, but quickly regained her composure, and said with a smile, "I saw it on the Internet, and that's what it said on the Internet. Why, did I say something wrong?"

Duan Xiaoran was suspicious, staring at Qin Xuanbing, but couldn't see anything.

Ning Yi smiled and said: "Yes, if we can win this game, it will be easier later. If we can't win, we will be very passive."

Qin Xuanbing nodded lightly and didn't say much.

Today the Timberwolves have a game, and Ning Yi must come. Duan Xiaoran simply asked Ning Yi to get an extra ticket, and brought Qin Xuanbing along.

Ning Yi is handsome in a suit and leather shoes today; Duan Xiaoran looks gentle and generous in a long skirt; Qin Xuanbing wears a white shirt and jeans, and her long legs are particularly eye-catching.

The three of them sat together, and the combination of handsome men and beautiful women was very seductive.

At this time, the warm-up of the players on the field is over, and the game is about to begin.

Qin Xuanbing secretly glanced at Ning Yi, bit her lips lightly, and her eyes were a little erratic. In fact, she didn't come here to participate in the event at all, but she knew that Ning Yi and Duan Xiaoran would come to Houston, so she flew over from Los Angeles.

Is it for Duan Xiaoran, or for Ning Yi?

Qin Xuanbing asked herself this question, but she didn't have an answer, or she didn't want to face the answer. Anyway, she just flew over from Los Angeles, came to the Toyota Center, and sat with Ning Yi and Duan Xiaoran. As for what I said just now, I actually read it from the Internet, but Duan Xiaoran didn't know that Qin Xuanbing only reads news about the Timberwolves. If you asked her about other teams, she would know nothing about it. .

"Remember, we are a team, and everyone is a part of it. When the team needs it, everyone should stand up." Before playing, Adelman did not forget to tell: "You can't just rely on music." Fu alone, Martin, Rubio, Dion, Brewer, you all have to play more proactively and aggressively, understand?"

"yes."

"Understood." Everyone responded.

Everyone knows this truth, but whether it can be done is another matter.

Soon, the game begins.

The Rockets won the ball and started to attack. They are still regular starters today, but obviously their strategy has changed from the previous one. At the beginning of the game, they did not play Harden, but Howard. Pressure, it is best to be able to cause damage.

If it can cause Love to foul, that would be the best.

The purpose of the Rockets is to kill Love. Love was restricted to a certain extent in the last game, but the Timberwolves are not fools and will definitely make adjustments to deal with it. It is bound to increase the difficulty of restricting Love. Since Love may not be able to limit his performance, then try to make his fouls as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, what the Rockets are really afraid of is Love.

"Pull away." Harden gestured to his teammates, and everyone pulled away. Harden singled out Martin, dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, and then suddenly changed direction to accelerate. His explosive power is very good, and the first step is very fast. With a lot of feints, he stepped forward with one step, and immediately passed Martin by half, and then completely passed Martin.

After passing, Harden rushed to the inside, and Dion rushed forward.

Seeing Dion rushing up, Harden was not nervous, and slowed down. It looked like he was about to make a layup, but in fact he split the ball and gave it to Howard in the low post on the left.

"not good."

People in the audience were shocked.

Dion was also taken aback, but he had no way to stop Howard.

Seeing this, Love came quickly and stood in front of Howard. Howard took the ball and took a step forward, then lifted the ball up as if to make a shot. Love stood on tiptoe and raised his arms. Howard smiled secretly, took the ball back, swayed like this, then jumped up again, leaned on Love, and threw the ball.

beep!

boom!

The whistle blew, the goal was missed, but the referee gave Love a foul.

Love is speechless and complains to the referee, but it can only be a complaint. The referee will not change the penalty. Love's purpose is only to remind the referee and make his own voice. Wait until the next time, I hope the referee can think about it.

Howard went to the free throw line, and his free throws were as usual, making only one of two free throws.

But it's nothing, McHale has a smile on his mouth, it doesn't matter if the ball is not scored, it doesn't matter if the penalty is not scored, as long as it succeeds in causing Love's foul.

Two minutes later, Harden broke through and faced Love with a European step layup. Not only did he score the ball, but he also caused Love to foul again.

"Oops."

"Love fouled twice."

Only played more than five minutes in the first quarter, and Love has already fouled twice.

Adelman frowned, thought about it, and replaced Love.

"Love fouled twice at the beginning, which is not a good thing." Ning Yi's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.

Love ended, and the Timberwolves quickly fell into a disadvantage.

When the first quarter ended, the score was 30:23, and the Timberwolves trailed by 7 points.

Entering the second quarter, the situation is still not good for the Timberwolves. Love returns to the court, but is targeted by the opponent. The Rockets just want to make Love foul. Love knows this and will not be easily fooled, but when defending, Unavoidably, there were some scruples, and the Rockets took advantage of this to further expand the point difference.

When halftime ended, the Timberwolves had trailed by 12 points.

In the second half, Love stopped playing and let go, but today he was really unlucky. He only played for three minutes in the third quarter, and Love got another foul, committing three times.

"Alas." Adelman sighed and replaced Love.

The Timberwolves failed to turn the situation around in the next game. Love was plagued by fouls and couldn't play well. Although the other players played well today, they couldn't compete with the Rockets.

When the game ended, the Timberwolves lost to the Rockets again 108:119.
