The King of the NBA

"Damn it."

Howard was annoyed and very depressed. He walked to the free throw line continuously, which was a good thing for others. He was able to score points through free throws and caused fouls by the opponent, killing two birds with one stone. But that's not the case for Howard. His free throws are so bad, and today's is even worse that he wants to commit suicide.

Going to the free throw line in this situation is similar to going to the execution ground.

"boom!"

Sure enough, the first penalty was missed.

Howard grinned his teeth, feeling annoyed, wishing to slap himself. Although his free throw percentage was not good in the past, it was 40 to 50 percent. What happened today?

On the sidelines, Coach McHale couldn't help but frown. Today Howard's free throw feel is too bad, and he was pinched by others. It's not good to go on like this.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and the second free throw was also struck.

Howard's face darkened, he turned around silently, and ran towards his own half, his footsteps a little heavy.

When the ball reached the frontcourt and was given to Ning Yi again, Ning Yi and his teammates made a pick-and-roll, dribbled a step forward, and made a direct pull. The basketball flew into the net with a swish.

"beep"

McHale shook his head and sighed, asked for a substitution, replaced Howard, replaced Capela, and replaced Harden at the same time.

At this time, they were already behind by 8 points. If Howard went down, Harden had to come up, otherwise there was no way to fight against the Timberwolves, and the point difference would only get bigger and bigger.

Seeing that McHale made a substitution, Adelman also made a substitution, Ning Yi remained on the court, Adelman replaced Baibian and replaced him with Love, Jokic played at the 5th position, and Love played at the 4th position .

Now that Howard has gone down, the Rockets' inside defense has dropped a notch. Jokic has the offensive ability and the ability to pass the ball with one hand. Cooperating with Love, it is enough to make waves inside the Rockets.

Pause ends.

After returning to the court, Harden turned on the scoring mode.

At this time, he has to stand up and score as much as possible. Without Howard, not only the inside defense is empty, but also one less scorer. The task of scoring falls on Harden.

"Pull away."

Harden took the ball, gestured to his teammates, everyone pulled away, Harden singled out Turner, very simply, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and then made a signature step-back jumper, and the basketball hit the net.

That's a long two points.

"nice shot."

"Still Harden is amazing."

In the auditorium, the Rockets fans shouted excitedly.

Listening to the voices in the audience, Ning Yi smiled slightly and didn't care. Harden's scoring ability is very strong, but he alone is not to be feared.

The Timberwolves fought back.

The ball was quickly given to Love. Love singled and missed a shot, but Jokic got the rebound, feinted, and scored a layup.

Tens of seconds later, Harden scored another one.

But just turned around, the Timberwolves Love still scored a three-pointer.

This made Harden very depressed and discouraged. He managed to score a goal, and when he turned around, he was immediately paid back.

And what about myself?

Howard went down, Ariza, Terry and others were replaced one after another, but it was of no use. Their scoring ability was much worse than that of Timberwolves players.

After a few minutes.

"The point difference has widened to 12 points." McHale glanced at the scoreboard, called a timeout, made a personnel rotation, and rearranged his tactics.

For the Timberwolves, Ning Yi and Jokic were replaced. Turner and Jack were replaced more than two minutes ago. Adelman replaced Dion and Shabatz, leaving Love on the court.

Only the last two points remained in the second quarter. Harden didn't make a move, and Howard didn't make a move. The Rockets were completely suppressed, and the point difference further widened.

When the second quarter ended, the score was 64:50, and the Timberwolves led by 14 points.

Intermission.

In the commentary area, Su Qun said: "Director Zhang, the first half is over. Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the Timberwolves have the upper hand. Do you think the Rockets will make some changes in the second half and catch up?"

"It is certain to make changes." Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "However, if the Rockets want to catch up with the score and complete the reversal, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

Su Qun nodded and changed the subject: "Now let's take a look at Ning Yi's statistics today. At halftime, he has scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. The statistics are very comprehensive. It can be seen that his It's recovering well."

At the same time, in the auditorium, the fans were also discussing.

The home fans were very nervous and anxious, but some people firmly believed that the Rockets would win, and threatened that by the second half, the Rockets would definitely counterattack and complete the reversal.

In people's talk, halftime is over.

At the beginning of the second half, both sides sent out their starting lineups.

Harden is still in a hot state and quickly entered the scoring state. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he made a three-pointer. The basketball bounced on the rim and fell into it.

Here, Ning Yi quickly returned the color, and it was also a three-pointer. He ignored Ariza's defense, and directly faced Ariza with a dry pull, with a knife in his hand.

A minute later, Harden took the ball, made a pick-and-roll with his teammates, threw off Martin's defense, then suddenly accelerated, made a European step, and scored a layup.

And, just ten seconds later, the Timberwolves missed a shot. He got the rebound and assisted his teammate to hit a jumper after reaching the frontcourt. He added an assist and helped the Rockets get two more points.

Seeing that the point difference was about to enter within ten points, Ning Yi stood up, broke through the inside line strongly, and scored the ball against Howard's defense, which also caused Howard's foul.

"It's him again." Howard's eyes were blazing.

Ning Yi turned a blind eye to his eyes, walked to the free throw line, and made an extra free throw steadily.

Here, Harden's pupils contracted, feeling Ning Yi's aura, not to be outdone, and after coming to the frontcourt, he played singles again, or made a layup. Although he didn't score, it caused Love to foul. Harden walked to the free throw line, made two free throws, and narrowed the score again, pulling it back to the zero point of ten.

"Ning and Harden are fighting each other."

"At this time, as the trump card of both sides, of course we must stand up."

In the auditorium, the fans discussed and stared at the stadium.

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes, Harden wants to save the team by his personal scoring ability, and I can also defeat you with scoring.

In terms of scoring, Ning Yi is not afraid of Harden!

"Pull away." Ning Yi shouted, suddenly changed direction and accelerated, Ariza quickly retreated, but at this moment, Ning Yi suddenly jumped up, lifted the ball, with a little back, let Ariza Powerless, I can only watch Ning Yi flick his wrist, and the basketball flies out of his fingertips
