The King of the NBA

In a blink of an eye, the first half is over.

The Timberwolves lead the Rockets by 8 points with 58:50.

"You played well, let's continue later."

In the locker room, Adelman reprimanded Fang Qiu and waved his hand: "Ning, Love, your task is to score later. I want you to use your scores to defeat your opponent. The Rockets are no longer able to survive, Harden alone can No. What's more, at this time, I'm afraid Harden himself has no confidence, haha."

Everyone's eyes were shining, murderous.

This is not the time to be soft-handed. In the tiebreaker, life-and-death duel, there is no room for soft-handedness, let alone the slightest carelessness.

On the other side, the Rockets locker room.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, everyone was only focused on resting, and the entire locker room was silent, but Harden's violent breathing seemed to be amplified and became clearly audible.

McHale frowned and sighed inwardly. It wasn't just this situation that happened in today's game. Since Ning Yi came back, the situation has completely changed, and finally got out of hand.

"Let me talk about it." McHale shook his head, pulled himself together, and encouraged his players.

"beep"

The second half begins.

Both sides are starting lineups.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Rubio passed the ball to Ning Yi after he came to the frontcourt. After Ning Yi got the ball, the others pulled away to give him space to play singles.

The difference between nba and some other games is that nba teams rarely use zone defense when defending, and almost always use man-to-man defense, because nba players have too strong personal abilities, and zone defense lacks pertinence, which is not conducive to Players concentrate on defense, and it is easy for opponents to take advantage of it.

So in the nba arena, it has become a common way to play singles.

Especially for NBA stars, opening singles is the main way for them to score. Attackers like this, and defenders are also happy to do so.

This is a place where the weak prey on the strong and the strength is respected. Even if it is a star player or not, individual singles are also commonplace and mainstream.

laugh!

Ning Yi broke through, and Ariza quickly retreated. He couldn't stop Ning Yi's first step, so he could only chase as much as possible. Some teammates behind him would come up to help delay the delay. As long as he was delayed for a moment, he would be able to catch up.

However, they still failed to stop Ning Yi. Although Howard had come up and delayed, Ning Yi stopped, forcing Howard to stop. At the next moment, Ning Yi suddenly turned around and bypassed Howard. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, without giving Howard any thoughts at all. After turning around, he got up and took the ball with his hand.

Swish!

Go in.

"nice shot."

"It's really beautiful."

In the auditorium, the home fans cheered and applauded loudly.

Ning Yi turned around and retreated quickly, but the Rockets had already launched a counterattack, and the ball was in Harden's hands again. Harden took a deep breath, glanced at his teammates, and wanted to pass the ball, but saw that none of his teammates took the initiative Asking for the ball, he sighed inwardly, but decided to play singles, make a breakthrough as before, and then take the European step.

Snapped!

This time Harden was deflated and was slapped by Dion.

Love took the rebound and quickly passed it to Rubio. At this time, Ning Yi was about to go down. Rubio dribbled the ball for two steps, found Ning Yi's position, pushed with both hands, and the basketball landed accurately in front of Ning Yi , Ning Yi took big steps, caught up with the basketball, and there was no one in front of him, he grabbed the basketball, took three big steps, and flew up

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, the audience shook, and the shouts were like thunder.

This is a beautiful dunk, amazing skills.

"The difference is 12 points!"

"The Rockets have to call a timeout."

People talk.

McHale's face was ashen, and it took less than a minute to play. Instead of narrowing the point difference, it was stretched to 12 points, which was really annoying.

When the players came down, McHale reprimanded a few people with a straight face, and then told them to defend well, especially the defense against Ning Yi, and directly double-team. In addition, the offensive end must be steady, don't worry, take your time, first defend well, and then seek counterattacks, as long as you defend and score, the point difference will catch up sooner or later.

The strategy was correct, but the results were not.

The Rockets began to double-team Ning Yi, and Ning Yi reduced his shots, but his support, his ability to restrain the defense is still there, and he can provide help for his teammates and create opportunities.

Love, Rubio, Martin, and Dion became more and more excited as they played more and more. The Rockets restricted Ning Yi by double-teaming, and Love fully opened up.

After a few minutes, the point difference further widened to as many as 16 points.

"Hmph, we have the upper hand in strength, morale, and score. You guys are finished, and there is no way to compete with us." Adelman looked at the Rockets players and sneered. He had an absolute advantage here. If you don't have any problems, the Rockets don't want to come back.

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, Harden stayed on the court. McHale hoped that under his leadership, the point difference could be narrowed, at least to 10 points, otherwise it would be difficult to play in the fourth quarter.

But what makes him depressed is that Ning Yi on the Timberwolves side has also stayed on the court.

Needless to say, Harden's strength, Ning Yi's strength is not inferior to Harden's. If Harden can score, he can also. If Harden can pass, he can also. It is not uncommon to face Biao, and it is staged again at this time, but in the end it is between brothers, and no one takes advantage.

After a few minutes, the Rockets were still 15 points behind.

Seeing McHale's pale, gloomy and terrifying face, Adelman laughed happily and said to himself: "Do you want to narrow the score as much as possible, and fight for a reversal in the fourth quarter? Go ahead and dream, I won't let you If you wish, if you want to go to Harden, I will go to Ning Yi. You don’t need to wait until the fourth quarter, and you will be defeated in three quarters.”

Adelman was well aware of McHale's thoughts, but he didn't plan to win or lose in the fourth quarter, because there was absolutely no need for that, and he would not give McHale a chance.

Soon, the fourth quarter begins.

The Rockets did not give up and were still trying to counterattack, but Harden alone obviously couldn't do it. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Rockets were still 14 points behind.

At this time, Harden's state began to decline, and the Timberwolves took the opportunity to gain momentum and quickly expanded the point difference to 20 points.

"it's over."

"The Rockets lost."

In the auditorium, the home fans were excited.

This is indeed the case. The Rockets have no way to recover. Although Howard scored consecutive points in the end, it is useless.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Rockets 114:102 at home and won the tiebreaker. A few days ago, the Warriors had already defeated the Clippers, and the Timberwolves will meet the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals next.
