The King of the NBA

"Pull away."

Ning Yi made a gesture, and the others pulled away. He singled out James, changed direction continuously, and then accelerated suddenly. James was a little slower and was passed by Ning Yi.

After that, Ning Yi rushed to the inside, Pekovic and Mozkov rushed forward, and Ning Yi threw the ball, which seemed to be a throw, but in fact it was a pass. Dion He jumped up and caught dunks in the air.

After two rounds, Ning Yi attracted the defense and passed the ball to Love. Love made a gesture to shoot. Seeing Martin slipping from the baseline, he passed it immediately. Martin caught the ball and made a layup.

The audience cheered.

The Cavaliers requested a timeout. More than nine minutes into the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 7 points. Yes, went from being 7 points ahead to being 7 points behind.

During this period of time, the Timberwolves played very well. Not only Ning Yi and Love played well, but everyone else also played very well. The whole team blossomed more and had a high shooting percentage, so they not only caught up with the score, but also led by 7 point.

The two sides began to adjust.

The Timberwolves also had the upper hand during the rotation time. Several substitute players played better and better. They have adapted to the rhythm and are inseparable from the Cavaliers.

When the first quarter ended, the Timberwolves led by 9 points.

"The Timberwolves played well in this quarter."

"It seems that the Timberwolves are in good shape today and have a good chance to win."

"They can't afford to lose this game. If they lose, it will be 1:3. It will be difficult to come back."

During the holiday break, the fans were talking about it.

The second quarter started soon, and the Timberwolves still had the upper hand. By the end of the first half, the Timberwolves led by 13 points. However, after entering the second half, the Cavaliers began to counterattack. This time it was not James, but Irving. He scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside and led the Cavaliers to an 8:0 shock wave, narrowing the point difference.

Ning Yi and Love of the Timberwolves responded quickly, but the point difference was narrowed to only a few points after all.

By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led by only 7 points.

"Wait is the most important thing. Give me a good fight. We can't lose." Adelman gave a death order to several substitute players, "We must not let the opponent catch up with the score, we must ensure the lead ,do you understand?"

"Understood." Several people agreed in unison.

The last section begins.

Ning Yi was sitting on the sidelines, but he couldn't relax. He kept staring at the field. Both sides came and went, they were very fierce. There were a lot of small movements and a lot of physical contact. The referee was already a little numb. Make it clear that the game is left to the players themselves. And the more so, the greater the actions of both sides.

Jokic, Whiteside, and Clarkson have never experienced such a battle. Fortunately, there are two experienced veterans Jack and Brewer. The two veterans led three young players to block the Cavaliers. fierce attack.

A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the point difference was eroded again, leaving only two points, but Adelman was satisfied with the performance of the players, at least he completed the task and kept the lead.

"Substitution." Adelman substitutions began to gradually replace the main players.

On the other side, the Cavaliers also made substitutions.

The two sides entered the final decisive stage. Ning Yi and Le Fu looked at each other, knowing that this was a test. At this time, they had to shoulder the pressure and responsibility.

For the Cavaliers, James turned on full power mode.

I saw that he was playing singles with the ball, forcibly crushing, pushing Ning Yi to the inside, Dion jumped up, raised his arm high, and slapped him down, his arm fell on James' hand, pulling him away down.

"beep"

Dion got a foul, but he didn't care. At this time, he had to be fierce. Even if James got to the free throw line, he couldn't let him score, because James couldn't stop him when he was in a state.

Ning Yi came to Dion and whispered: "It's right, that's it, don't be afraid of too many fouls, we have someone to rotate. But remember, fouls must be ruthless, and he can't be scored 2+1. "

Dieng nodded. You have to be ruthless in fouling James. It’s not against him. It’s just that James’ physical fitness is too good.

Shua, Shua!

James made an extra free throw to tie the score.

The Timberwolves attacked, Ning Yi took the ball, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then made a decisive move, shot directly outside the three-point line, with a little back, the arc of the shot was very high, almost vertically fell into the hoop, even the nets didn't move.

The three-pointer was effective, and the Timberwolves took the lead again.

In the next few minutes, the Cavaliers kept biting the score and chasing behind, which put a lot of pressure on the Timberwolves, because you can't make a mistake, as long as you make a mistake, the opponent will seize the opportunity to overtake the score. And when the opponent overtakes the score, it will not be so easy for you to overtake again.

So Ning Yi and Love tried their best, staring at each other's pressure to score again and again, suppressing each other's counterattacks again and again, and helping the Timberwolves keep their lead.

In the last two minutes, Dion graduated with 6 fouls, and Adelman called a timeout.

"Whiteside." Adelman shouted: "Wait a minute, your task is to protect the rebound, and also to defend, don't be afraid of fouls, but remember one thing, don't make meaningless fouls. "

"Yes." Whiteside nodded heavily, knowing that this time is critical.

Then Adelman looked at Ning Yi and Love, and said in a deep voice: "It's up to you."

In the last two minutes, the Timberwolves led by 4 points, but because of Dieng's foul just now, Owen will go to the free throw line to execute two free throws. If both free throws are made, the point difference is only two points.

When the timeout ended, Irving went to the free throw line and missed the first free throw, much to the relief of Timberwolves fans. The second free throw was hit, and the point difference was 3 points.

Rubio advanced to the front court and immediately handed the ball to Ning Yi. Ning Yi stared at James, took a deep breath, and chose singles. He had to force himself. I saw Ning Yi's continuous fake moves, and then suddenly started, James retreated, Ning Yi stopped suddenly, then took a step to the side, raised his hand and shot.

James lunges, reaching for the basketball.

Swish!

The ball was still scored.

Ning Yi growled and waved his arms fiercely.

This ball became a key goal, and neither side could score in the next minute. The Cavaliers called a timeout. After returning, James rushed inside and scored, but the point difference was still three points.

The Timberwolves execute the attack, Love misses the shot, the Cavaliers call a timeout again, they still have the last chance to attack, they must rush to shoot a three-pointer, of course it’s good to score, if they don’t score, they must try to grab the rebound and try to shoot again A three point.

This time it was Irving who made a shot, but failed to make a three-pointer.

"Rebound."

"rebound."

Everyone shouted.

TT, who was replaced a minute ago, jumped up and grabbed the backboard, but unexpectedly the other hand was faster than him, and took the basketball away first. He quickly looked, but it was Whiteside.

Whiteside hugged the ball and never let go.

"It's over."

"Time is running out."

The last two seconds passed in a blink of an eye.

The Cavaliers had no chance. They didn't have a timeout, so even the foul play was meaningless.
