The King of the NBA

"It's a tiebreaker again. Last season, the Timberwolves and the Rockets also had a tiebreaker. It's such a coincidence."

"Yeah, for two consecutive seasons, the Timberwolves and the Rockets have played tiebreakers in the playoffs. Last season, the Timberwolves won. I don't know if the Rockets can win this time."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Last season, Ning was not so strong. The Timberwolves defeated the Rockets. This season, Ning has become even stronger. This time the tiebreaker, the Rockets may be hanging."

When the sixth game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets ended, the fans' emotions were even higher.

If the Timberwolves are eliminated in the sixth game, many people will feel regretful, because Ning Yi was injured before, which caused the Timberwolves to lose three games in a row.

Now that the series has entered the tiebreaker, the fans feel it is fair.

What's more, in a series of seven games, no matter how you play, only the tiebreaker is the most exciting and tense game.

While the outside world is talking about it, the Timberwolves and the Rockets are also preparing separately.

This time it was the Timberwolves' home court, and Adelman didn't arrange any specific tactics for the crowd. By this time, the tactics were secondary, and the key was the performance of the players. He just told the players to adjust their state and strive to make the last fight with the Rockets in the best state.

Ning Yi is also adjusting, trying to restore himself to the best state.

At the same time, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and a group of teammates from the national team called to encourage Ning Yi. Duan Xiaoran and Qin Xuanbing also called. Duan Xiaoran is very busy now, with his work on the one hand and the "Future Live" on the other. He can't spare time to come to the United States, so he can only encourage Ning Yi on the phone.

Qin Xuanbing didn't talk much, she just talked about the establishment of the company, and finally said "Come on".

Ning Yi didn't care too much, he still doesn't understand Qin Xuanbing, this big star is sometimes as cold as an iceberg, sometimes it melts, and like a banished fairy in the world, sometimes indifferent, sometimes... In short, Ning Yi didn't understand her at all, so he simply didn't try to understand her.

This may be the difference between men and women.

Generally, under such circumstances, if it is a woman, driven by curiosity, she will definitely try her best to understand; but men are completely different, and their curiosity is not so strong.

Two days later, Ning Yi's state returned to its peak.

At this time, the seventh game of the series between the Timberwolves and the Rockets also arrived as scheduled.

The Target Center arena is full of seats, and the popularity is not even inferior to the previous Eastern and Western finals, and may only be slightly inferior to the finals.

"Huh." Ning Yi took a deep breath and looked at his teammates, "Brothers, we must go all out for today's game, we can only win but not lose."

"Um."

"Must win."

"Kill the Rockets and make it to the Western Conference Finals!"

Everyone responded, full of murderous intent.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were regular starters. Ning Yi and Harden looked at each other, the bearded face was calm, but Ning Yi was still keenly aware that Harden's eyes were burning with crazy fighting spirit.

"That's good." Ning Yi smiled. Harden is a formidable opponent. It is a kind of training and joy for him to play against such an opponent.

Dieng patted the ball to the backcourt and the Timberwolves attacked.

The game has just started, Ning Yi is not in a hurry to attack, but controls the rhythm, mobilizes his teammates, uses his ability to contain the defense, and creates opportunities for his teammates.

Today, Love, Rubio and others are in good condition. Although Ning Yi didn't make many shots, the Timberwolves' offense is still very smooth, and more blooming.

As for the Rockets, they still rely on Harden's personal ability. Others can't provide much help, even Howard. He can't take advantage of the interior.

Fortunately, Harden's touch is very hot and his efficiency is not low.

However, McHale couldn't help frowning. Although Harden is in good condition, no matter how strong one person is, it is impossible to compete with five opponents. It's not that there are no masters, they still have Ning Yi who hasn't shot yet.

Immediately, McHale called a timeout and told the strikers not to rely too much on Harden, you must also attack, dare to shoot, and score.

Just waiting for the timeout to come back, except for Harden, it is still difficult for others to score.

"Oh." McHale could only sigh. It's not that the players didn't work hard, but they couldn't do it. This kind of thing is not something you can do if you want to do it. It has to do with many factors.

Only in this way, today's game is even less optimistic.

Another few minutes passed, and the Timberwolves led by 5 points.

Adelman replaced Ning Yi and Dion. One minute later, he replaced Love and Rubio. The game entered the rotation time.

But the Rockets didn't dare to change players casually. There were few people who could have been rotated, and the situation was unfavorable. At least Harden could not be replaced, otherwise it would be even worse.

In the first quarter, Harden played the entire quarter, and finally the Rockets entered the second quarter with 28:29 behind by 1 point.

In the second quarter, McHale put Harden on the bench, ready to let him take a break, but within three minutes, McHale had to replace him again-the situation was not good, and the Rockets fell completely He was at a disadvantage and was beaten by the Timberwolves. In less than three minutes, the point difference changed from 1 point to 8 points.

McHale watched Harden walk onto the court, turned his head to look at Howard, and shook his head. Howard's free throws are a big problem, and his skills are a bit rough. The performance in the first few games of the series was okay, but in the last two games, with With the escalation of the confrontation, the opponent's defense became tighter, and he was somewhat unable to open it.

"This season is over, maybe Howard should be sent away." McHale thought to himself.

On the court, Harden's state is still hot, and he hit a three-pointer after going up.

On Timberwolves' side, Adelman replaced Ning Yi. Ning Yi came up to confront Harden. Naturally, he would not be polite. He came up with a breakthrough and got to the inside to score points.

Of course, the Timberwolves did not only score points for Ning Yi, but other people also scored. With Ning Yi as the main player and others as assistants, they quickly suppressed the Rockets.

boom!

Harden's shot hit the iron, he sighed silently, feeling aggrieved, he had tried his best and done everything he could. But it is still behind, and there is still no way to overtake. Although the Timberwolves have Ning Yi, other people are also scoring, but what about their side? Only he alone carries all the burdens.

A single tree is hard to support, two fists are hard to beat four hands.

Harden is like this at the moment, he is not weak, he is not good, he has scored 21 points before the end of the half, but it is just in vain!
