The King of the NBA

Chapter 397: Winning the Match Point

The strength of the Warriors lies in their offense, their outside shooting, their offensive and defensive conversions, and their quick counterattacks, but their inside line is a disadvantage, and they will struggle if they fall into a positional battle. But if they are allowed to bring the rhythm up, their terrifying scoring explosive power is enough to cause headaches for any team.

After entering the second half, the Warriors continued their performance in the first half, and the outside three-pointers were still sharp.

When the Warriors feel good and have accurate outside shots, even the Timberwolves can’t handle it. There is no doubt about Ning Yi and Love’s abilities. With the help of Rubio and Martin, they can face the Warriors’ outside three-pointers one after another. , they still fell into a disadvantage, and could only watch the point difference get bigger and bigger.

"In the future, the wind direction of the NBA may change because of this." Love shook his head and sighed: "Such three-pointers are really terrifying, and the explosive power of scoring is too amazing."

"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded.

He is very clear that the wind direction of the nba in the future is not likely to change, but will definitely change. Three-pointers will become popular, and it becomes a point that all teams in the nba must pay attention to. Even inside players need to have a certain three-point shooting ability, so rather Yi has always paid attention to his three-pointers and advised Rubio to focus on three-pointers.

At the end of the three quarters in a blink of an eye, the Timberwolves trailed by 14 points.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves' bench lineup chased a little bit, and then the two sides replaced the main players.

"There are still a few minutes left, and we are still 10 points behind." Ning Yi took a deep breath, "The opponent's three-pointer is very sharp, but we are not without a chance, there are still a few minutes left, try our best to fight for it."

In the last few minutes, the competition between the two sides became more and more intense. Ning Yi became the sharp knife of the Timberwolves, tearing apart the opponent's defense time and time again, and capturing the opponent's basket. The Warriors tried their best to defend Ning Yi, but the effect was not good. , At the level of Ning Yi, it doesn't mean that defense can be prevented.

Of course, it is equally difficult for the Timberwolves to contain the Warriors' three-pointer.

Especially Curry and Thompson, they are accurate three-pointers, and their shooting speed is fast. When the touch comes, they can't stop it. Only the touch can stop them.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Ning Yi went inside and dunked.

But only a dozen seconds later, Green passed the ball to Curry, Curry feinted, fooled Rubio, and then made another three-pointer.

"Shua!"

Go in.

This is already Curry's seventh three-pointer in this field.

Curry scored 7 three-pointers alone, and the Warriors team has already scored 20 three-pointers. The three-pointer alone scored 60 points, which is terrifying.

In the last two minutes, Coach Adelman called two timeouts. Both Ning Yi and Love also scored. Ning Yi broke through and scored, and Love made a three-pointer. But at this time, someone from the Warriors will stand up Return color. So much so that until the end of the game, the Timberwolves still failed to catch up with the score.

In the end, the Timberwolves lost to the Warriors 124:129. The total score of the series was rewritten to 2:1, and the Warriors pulled back a round.

"Haha, we won."

"Well done, well done, that's it, I just knew it"

Many Warriors fans cheered and shouted.

Qin Xuanbing was a little regretful, the Timberwolves lost, but she quickly adjusted her mood, because she felt that Ning Yi should be in a worse mood at this time.

After leaving the stadium, Qin Xuanbing called Ning Yi, and soon Ning Yi met Qin Xuanbing and Jenna. Ning Yi proposed to invite Qin Xuanbing to dinner. Seeing that Ning Yi seemed to be calm, Qin Xuanbing readily agreed.

When the three of them sat together, Qin Xuanbing felt a little lost and relaxed, and she would feel a little strange if she was alone with Ning Yi.

During the meeting, Ning Yi never mentioned the match just now, nor did Qin Xuanbing. The two chatted about Qin Xuanbing's upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse". Foresight", the words she said can often inspire Qin Xuanbing, and the meal is full of laughter and laughter.

"I'm leaving." Qin Xuanbing said.

"Well." Ning Yi said: "Come back next time when you have time."

Qin Xuanbing blinked: "During the finals?"

Ning Yi nodded: "Yes."

"Then it's settled." Qin Xuanbing smiled. She knew that Ning Yi really didn't care about this loss. His words were still full of confidence, and he was bound to win this series.

The two separated.

Two days later, Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Timberwolves and the Warriors kicked off.

In the last game, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves with a sharp three-pointer and pulled back a round, but this time the situation is different.

For the Timberwolves, Adelman made some arrangements for the Warriors' three-pointers. The players' defense was better than in the previous game, and the Warriors' outside touch was not as good as in the previous game.

The Warriors made a total of 22 three-pointers in the last game, which is simply appalling and unbelievable.

That is obviously not a routine operation, but a super-level performance.

The Warriors failed to continue their super-level performance in this game. Although the outside shooting remained at a good level, it was much worse than the previous game.

Even so, the two sides were still indistinguishable, and it was not until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter that the winner was determined. The Timberwolves were stronger, the lineup was more balanced, and the bench depth was better. Finally, they defeated the Warriors 120:114 , rewritten the big score of the series to 3:1, and got the match point first.

In this game, Ning Yi scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in a triple-double. Love scored 33 points. In addition, Rubio, Martin, Jokic, Turner and others also played well.

"The Warriors lost again."

"Yeah, in the case of 1:3, it will be very difficult for the Warriors to come back."

"They rely too much on outside shooting, and it doesn't matter in the regular season. In the playoffs, such a team will not go far, and the disadvantage is too obvious."

"It's true. It's not safe to rely too much on outside shooting. Of course, it's okay when you feel good, but if you don't feel good, you're finished. Look at these two games. In the previous game, the Warriors felt overwhelmed and made 22 shots. With a three-pointer, he successfully defeated the Timberwolves. But the outside touch in the next game was no longer so hot, and he lost immediately."

"Another point is that the Warriors' bench depth is not enough."

"Yes, the Timberwolves' bench lineup is impressive. Especially the two of Whiteside and Jokic, one is an undrafted pick and the other is a second-round pick. It's surprising that they are so good."

When the series score becomes 3:1, the outside world is generally not optimistic about the Warriors.

This is not only about the score, but also about the team itself. Compared with the Timberwolves, the Warriors do have many problems. It may not be obvious in the regular season, but it will be fatal at this time.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Conference finals came to an end.

The Cavaliers swept the Eagles 4-0 and advanced to the finals first.

PS: I watched the ncaa finals today, it was very exciting. It can be seen that the University of Virginia is stronger, but Texas Tech played very tenaciously, which was very shocking. I also watched the ncaa finals last year, and Donte Di Vincenzo of Villanova University was very impressive. It seems that every year the ncaa finals are very exciting, and every year the ncaa finals have people rejoicing and others shedding tears. This should be the charm of ncaa. Watching ncaa games can remind people of youth. They may not be perfect, but they can touch people's hearts.
