The King of the NBA

After a long time, the cheers and screams subsided.

A group of Rockets players looked dignified.

Coach McHale also frowned slightly. If the Timberwolves are a pack of wolves, then Ning Yi is their wolf king, and the wolf pack without the wolf king is not terrible.

But when the wolf king returned, they became terrifying.

I understand this in my heart, but McHale can't say that to his players. He needs to stabilize the morale of the army: "You have seen it, and I would rather come back. But it doesn't matter, he has only been injured for a week, and the injury must not have fully healed. Even if he Healed up and hasn’t played for a week, so he’s definitely not going to be in great shape, so don’t worry too much.”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Okay, let's warm up on the court."

A group of Rockets players warm up on the court.

Here, the Timberwolves players also warmed up. Ning Yi just shot. His state has not fully recovered to the state before the injury, but the shooting is no different from before the injury.

"Shua!"

"Shua Shua."

Shot after shot, hit after hit.

Ning Yi has a calm expression and confident eyes. Every shot is hollow, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer. The basketball flies out of his fingertips and spins into the net.

"Hey, Ning's hand feels very good, and he has scored several times."

"It's 8. I'm counting. Four three-pointers, four mid-range shots, all hollow. It seems that Ning is recovering well, so I feel relieved."

"Haha, don't worry, the Rockets will be worried."

In the auditorium, the home fans talked and laughed, in a good mood.

Of course, he is in a good mood. Ning Yi has a backbone when he comes back to the Timberwolves, and it seems that he is recovering very well, and his shots are still accurate. With him, today's game will be stable.

As the fans have said, the Rockets are indeed worried.

McHale's face was as black as iron. He just comforted his players, saying that even if Ning Yi recovered from his injury, he would definitely not be in a good state. But looking at it now, Ning Yi was up and down with a knife in his hand, and it was a good example. The balls flying out of his hands have never missed, and he has scored 8 goals. Oh, no, it is already ten now.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

That's all for slapping the face, McHale doesn't care about Xu, but Ning Yi's state makes him worry. Could it be that Ning Yi has really fully recovered?

If so, you're in trouble.

In fact, even if this is not the case, the Rockets are in trouble.

Ning Yi's role is not only reflected in his scoring and organization, but also in his "leadership". His comeback has given the Timberwolves players a backbone, regardless of whether his state has recovered or not, even if he does not play. , The Timberwolves' combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to the previous two or three games.

The warm-up is over.

Players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

"Let me talk about it." McHale clapped his hands and spread out the tactical board, "Later, we should follow the previous style of play and limit Love."

Ning Yi did not appear in the Timberwolves' starting list, which made McHale somewhat relieved. At least it can prove that Ning Yi has not fully recovered.

Therefore, he did not make any changes in the arrangement of tactics.

Here, Adelman is also making arrangements: "Dion, protect the rebounds, especially the backcourt rebounds. Love, you can shoot more from the outside and play more fiercely. Brewer, Martin, you should also be fierce. One point, I don’t think I need much of what this game means to us. In short, this game can only win but not lose.”

"Yes." Several people shouted in unison.

Finally, Adelman looked at Rubio: "Rubio, your three-pointers are pretty good now. Although you are a point guard, you must dare to shoot when you have the opportunity."

Rubio nodded.

Afterwards, Adelman emphasized defense again, then put away the tactical board, and said, "Fight well, we have no way out, we can only fight with our backs, and kill the Rockets for me."

At this time, Adelman also became fierce, and his words were full of gangsters, but it was just enough to stimulate the fighting spirit and fighting spirit in everyone's hearts. A group of people shouted in unison: "Kill the Rockets!"

The Timberwolves' starters today are Dion, Love, Brewer, Martin, and Rubio. Ning Yi didn't start, and he might not even play.

The game is about to start, Ning Yi, Le Fu, and Dion clapped their hands one by one, and said with a smile: "Fight well, I'm waiting on the sidelines, if anyone doesn't play well, just let me go."

"Then don't think about it, rest at ease."

"Haha, anyway, don't try to replace me, don't let me go."

"You say that, I have to fight well."

The five of them laughed loudly, only feeling proud.

At this time, the whistle sounded and the game officially started.

"Snapped!"

Dion patted the ball to the backcourt, Rubio controlled the ball and began to advance, and he was not in a hurry to pass the ball after reaching the frontcourt. He dribbled the ball with one hand and directed his teammates to move with the other hand, appearing very confident.

Love and the others moved quickly. Love walked outside and covered Martin. Martin took the opportunity to walk inside and brought the defender over. Love stood outside and there was no one around him.

"The ball." Love yelled, and Rubio's ball was quickly delivered. Love stood outside the three-point line, adjusted a little, and flicked his wrist regardless of the defender who was rushing.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

Cheers immediately erupted from the audience, and the Timberwolves went down first, giving the Rockets a big blow.

"Hehe, it's really different when Ning comes back." Terry Burt smiled, glanced at Ning Yi, and said: "Although he didn't play, the mental outlook of the players is obviously different from the previous three games."

"Well." Adelman nodded, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ning Yi's leadership role is really not small. Once he comes back, even if he just sits on the sidelines, the players are in a different state. It seems that they have a bottom in their hearts. more calm and more confident.

On the court, the Rockets counterattacked.

The momentum of the Timberwolves today was a bit shocking. Harden felt the pressure, so after he came to the frontcourt, he came by himself, wanting to retaliate with a goal. At the same time, he also used actions to tell his teammates that the Timberwolves have Ning Yi. The Rockets also have me Harden, as long as I am there, don't be afraid.

It's a pity that things backfired. Harden's idea was right, but he couldn't score the ball. He underestimated the changes of the Timberwolves today. Not only the offense, but also the defense. Positively, Harden's signature European step layup was disturbed and bounced out of the basket.

Fight back!

Love got the rebound, a quarterback-style pass, and sent it directly to the frontcourt. Rubio was already down, got the ball and accelerated to the three-point line, and took three big steps. , he hugged the ball and raised one hand high
