The King of the NBA
Chapter 410 The blood is not cold, but the fighting spirit is still there
The horror of the Cavaliers is fully revealed. They play very efficiently, everyone has a high shooting rate, and they are in a special state.
This is not a good thing for the Timberwolves, who have been at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Ning Yi took the ball, singled James, made continuous fake moves, and then accelerated suddenly, breaking through from the right side, James moved quickly, but Ning Yi suddenly stopped and pulled on the spot.
James jumped up, but failed to block the ball, because Ning Yi was not only a dry pull, but also leaned back, leaning back in the air, avoiding James' block and throwing the ball.
Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.
But when he turned around, James immediately fought back, forced a breakthrough, and then dodged in the air. With his excellent core strength, he twisted his body and scored a throw.
"It's not a good situation to fight like this." McGrady sat next to Yao Ming, frowning slightly, "Ning Yi can only fight James on equal footing, offsetting the lethality brought by James. But the rest of the Cavaliers played too much today. Well, JR, Irving, Pekovic, and Mozkov all scored, and there was no focus, as if everyone could score and everyone was a threat, which made the Timberwolves' defense a little bit overwhelmed."
"En." Yao Ming nodded.
Ning Yi's performance is still very good. After several finals, it is not only Whiteside, Jokic, and Clarkson who have improved. Ning Yi has also made a lot of progress. At least he has become more stable. Facing James Also more calm. It's just that the threat of the Timberwolves today is not just James, but also the rest of the Cavaliers.
This requires someone from the Timberwolves to stand up besides Ning Yi.
But no, Love, who scored 40+ in the last game, felt a bit cold today, and the performances of Rubio, Martin, and Dion were only unsatisfactory.
So after only a few minutes in the first quarter, the Timberwolves were already behind by 7 points.
Adelman frowned and called a timeout, carried out personnel rotation, and readjusted his tactics, but the effect was still not very good, and he was always at a disadvantage.
Seeing that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, Adelman has no choice but to replace Ning Yi first. Other players cannot provide effective help, which will only consume Ning Yi's physical energy in vain.
The two sides replaced the substitute lineup one after another, and the Timberwolves were still at a disadvantage.
Whiteside, Jokic, and Clarkson have all matured a lot, but this is more of a mentality. Experience needs time to accumulate slowly, which means that their experience is still insufficient and they will still suffer.
In fact, it did suffer. Whiteside was provoked by others and committed two fouls early on. Clarkson was eager to help the team and frequently played singles, but he repeatedly hit the iron. Jokic is quite calm, but he is not a player like Ning Yi and Love who has excellent scoring explosive power. His advantages are strong vision of the overall situation, excellent passing, good awareness, calmness, and delicate skills. He is not in good condition, and he is alone.
The difference between the two sides widened step by step, and Adelman was in a hurry.
By the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 12 points.
In the second quarter, the Cavaliers continued to expand the point difference, once expanding the point difference to 16 points, and then Ning Yi, Love, Martin and others returned one after another, which stopped the decline and began to counterattack.
Ning Yi is still acting as a sharp knife, tearing apart the opponent's defense time and time again, Love's touch is getting warmer, hitting a three-pointer, and then scoring in a low position, but even so, the Cavaliers still maintain a 10-point advantage.
Until the end of the first half, the Cavaliers still led by 9 points.
"I've always been behind, when will I catch up?" Qin Xuanbing glanced at the scoreboard and asked nervously.
"They will catch up soon, I believe Ning Yi and the others will catch up soon." Duan Xiaoran bit her lip, but the worried and anxious expression on her face betrayed her.
Not only Duan Xiaoran, but also many Timberwolves fans are worried. They silently pray that the Timberwolves can catch up with the score as soon as possible and change this beaten situation.
Unfortunately, things backfired.
After entering the second half, the Timberwolves ran into trouble again. First, they encountered a scoring shortage, and then the players were eager to score. As a result, they made mistakes in their busy schedule and made consecutive mistakes. In a short while, they were hit by the Cavaliers with a 10:0 shock wave.
The Timberwolves fans were collectively silent, speechless.
The point difference of 19 points, in such a short time, the point difference changed from 9 points to 19 points. This pit is too big, and it makes the fans feel desperate.
This is a tiebreaker. It was supposed to be a deadlocked match. How did it become like this? How could it be so far behind?
"Alas" McGrady shook his head and sighed: "The Timberwolves are still young. Although they dragged the finals into the tiebreaker, it is not a good thing for them. Cavaliers who have experience in the finals Just James, but almost all of them are old players, and the youngest is Irving. In addition, with James in control of the overall situation, they have an obvious advantage in the tiebreaker of the finals and the home court.”
Yao Ming felt disappointed, but he had to admit, "The tie-breaker in the finals will lead to the championship, but if you take a step back, you will have nothing. The psychological pressure on the Timberwolves players is too great."
On the sidelines, Coach Adelman sighed and called a timeout.
He doesn't blame the players, because they are still very young, and they are under a lot of pressure at this time, and it is almost inevitable that they will be affected, even Ning Yi is no exception.
"Ning Yi, Love, take a break." Adelman said.
"No." Ning Yi shouted, he was gasping for breath, sweat was dripping like raindrops, but his eyes were so bright that Adelman was stunned, only to hear Ning Yi say: "Coach, I can still fight!" , We are already behind by nearly 20 points. Our substitutions may not necessarily make substitutions, and the difference may widen even further later, so there is no hope of a comeback."
Love, Martin, Rubio and others all nodded and looked at Adelman.
Adelman is hesitating.
Ning Yi said again: "Coach, let's continue to fight. I know we are a lot behind, we didn't play well enough, and made a lot of mistakes. But I don't want to just admit defeat, my blood is still hot, my fighting spirit Still strong, I want to fight. This is our last game of the season, isn't it?
"Coach, let's keep fighting."
"coach."
Love, Rubio, Dion, and Martin spoke one after another, looking at Adelman expectantly. This is the last game.
Adelman shook his head and nodded heavily: "Okay, you guys continue. This is our last game of this season, no matter what the result is, we will do our best."
