The King of the NBA

"Don't worry about attacking, calm down, and look for opportunities patiently." The second half had already begun, and Coach Kerr stood on the sidelines and shouted at the field: "Don't blindly shoot from the outside, play our rhythm."

The two sides scored 64:53 in the first half, and the Warriors trailed by 13 points.

Entering the second half, just as Yao Ming expected, Cole emphasized offense, hoping that the players could use offense to make up for the loopholes in defense, so as to reverse the situation.

In fact, the Warriors did do this after they got on the court, but the effect was not good, and the Timberwolves further strengthened their defense.

Especially inside, the Warriors couldn't get in at all, they could only shoot from the outside. It was okay at first, Curry and Thompson both had their own gains, and Green also scored a three-pointer, but then their shooting percentage began to decline, and they missed consecutive shots. , the situation got out of hand, and they had already caught up to only 6 points left, but after a while, the point difference returned to more than 10 points.

Coach Cole looked ugly and wanted to curse.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Curry's layup was slapped by Ning Yi.

Cole told them not to blindly shoot from the outside, but to hit the inside, so Curry stepped up his breakthrough, but he didn't expect to get a big hat from Ning Yi.

"Fast attack!"

Ning Yi received the rebound, shouted, and passed the ball to Rubio.

The Timberwolves launched a fast break, Rubio and Martin quickly reached the Warriors' half court, Rubio scored the ball, and Martin flew forward with a one-handed dunk.

"The point difference is 14 points." The Warriors assistant coach called.

"I know." Cole nodded and called a timeout.

During this timeout, Cole rearranged his offensive tactics, yelled at the players, and emphasized the need to play fast and counterattack.

The Timberwolves are responding to all changes with the same, because they are already leading, and their defense has almost no weaknesses. It is the correct strategy to respond to the opponent's offense with defense, and there is no need to change anything.

But before playing, Adelman moved in his heart, pulled Ning Yi, and said: "Ning, you have to strengthen your offense. Defense is important, but offense is equally important. Others may not have the ability to do a good job in defense. Strength Limited, but you can."

Ning Yi's eyes lit up. Adelman's meaning coincided with his. He also thought so. It is no problem to deal with the Warriors defensively, but if you defend for a long time, you will lose. You can't keep defending like this. After all, this is the third section, followed by a fourth section. To win, you should use defense to resist the Warriors' offense, and then expand the point difference as much as possible. As long as the point difference is large enough, it doesn't matter if you defend for a long time, because by that time, the Warriors have no hope of coming back. .

Of course, in order not to affect the overall defensive strategy and defensive strength, Ning Yi or Love can only be responsible for the offense and expand the point difference as much as possible.

Ning Yi is the wolf king in the forest, he does his part!

"Coach, leave it to me." Ning Yi smiled.

Adelman nodded, no one can be more reassuring than Ning Yi.

"beep"

whistle.

The two sides returned to the court, the Warriors calmed down, played less impatiently, began to pass the ball patiently, and patiently waited for the opportunity. The offense has become more patient, and the state of the Warriors has also recovered. Curry still breaks through the inside, but he does not blindly seek opportunities for layups, but distributes the ball outside.

With a swish, Iguodala received a pass from Curry and hit a three-pointer.

"Yeah." Cole nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they returned to their normal state, with their scoring ability, so what if they were at a disadvantage of more than ten points? You can catch up in a blink of an eye.

But then Cole couldn't help frowning, because Ning Yi returned a three-pointer, which made Cole feel bad. If the Timberwolves have been sticking to it, it is easy to deal with it, but if they are defensive and offensive, it will be troublesome.

What's more, Ning Yi's scoring ability is not inferior to Curry and Thompson.

Behind, the Warriors still played very patiently, but they were not lacking in vigor, but the Timberwolves' defense had almost no weaknesses, which put a lot of pressure on them, and the success rate was not too high.

On the other hand, on the Timberwolves side, let’s not talk about the defensive end. The offensive end mainly depends on Ning Yi, and the Warriors’ defense itself has problems. Ning Yi’s scoring ability is very strong. Whenever the Warriors score, Ning Yi can always return In terms of color, sometimes Love, Rubio and others can make a cold shot.

A few minutes later, looking at the score again, the Warriors fell behind by as much as 17 points.

"Hmph." Cole snorted coldly, his face livid.

After a few minutes, instead of narrowing the point difference, they widened it.

After some substitutions, the third quarter came to an end quickly, and the Timberwolves entered the fourth quarter with a 16-point lead.

In the auditorium, McGrady glanced at the scoreboard and said with a smile, "The Warriors should lose today."

Yao Ming smiled, noncommittal, the game is not over yet, so he can't judge further, but he also thinks the Warriors will lose because the point difference is too big.

Soon, the fourth quarter begins.

The Warriors did not give up. The 16-point difference is like a gap for other teams, but not for them. With their scoring explosiveness, as long as they hit a wave of offensive shock waves, the 16-point difference can be wiped out in a moment flat.

However, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves adjusted their strategy again and began to play positional battles with the Warriors. No matter how the Warriors take the rhythm, every attack by the Timberwolves is a positional battle. They would rather give up some opportunities for quick counterattacks. The rhythm dropped, and it was a halftime match with the Warriors.

"Play positional warfare, don't let us play fast, slow down the rhythm, and don't give us the opportunity to quickly counterattack and grab points. This will make it difficult for us to score consecutively, and it will also consume time." Cole's face changed completely.

In the following time, the Warriors wanted to counterattack, but failed repeatedly.

The Timberwolves advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and the rhythm was very slow. Although the point difference was narrowed, the game time was also consumed a lot.

In the end, even Warriors fans knew that time was running out.

"Is it just consumed to death?" a fan lamented.

"I can't say that." Another fan shook his head and said, "Although the Timberwolves are wasting time in this quarter, they are not blindly wasting time. They have defense and offense. They don't look as aggressive as the Warriors, but they actually score. Not a lot. Looking at the statistics, Ning’s score has already reached 37 points.”

The big screen shows the data of both players. Ning Yi has scored 37 points and Love has 27 points. For the Warriors, Curry scored 32 points and Thompson scored 28 points.

Seeing this data, many people couldn't help being stunned.

It seems that the Warriors are attacking fiercely. Curry and Thompson also scored a lot of goals. Why is Ning Yi scoring the most?

"Ning Yi has indeed matured." Yao Ming praised: "He doesn't take many shots, but his efficiency is very high and his scoring is stable. It seems that he has not scored as many goals as Curry, but in fact it is just an illusion. Curry's scoring is continuous, scoring consecutively, so it looks like he has scored a lot of points, but in fact there are not so many. Ning Yi's scoring is not so continuous, but the victory is stable, scoring all the time, and finally I don't know Suddenly, he already scored 37 points."
