The King of the NBA

Ning Yi and the others returned to the field.

Seeing that Ning Yi and Love returned to the court and were not replaced, the head coach of the Cavaliers raised his brows. They are so far behind and want to come back?

James narrowed his eyes, looked serious, turned to his teammates and said: "You have also seen that the Timberwolves are very tenacious, just like the previous games, they will not give up easily. So we must maintain high intensity as always A strong defense, a calm and sharp attack."

"Um."

"clear."

Irving, JR and several other players all agreed.

In the auditorium, countless fans who supported the Timberwolves shouted and cheered loudly. They could feel Ning Yi's determination, their blood and fighting spirit.

The game continues.

Originally, the Cavaliers coach was ready to carry out a personnel rotation, replacing James and keeping Irving on the court, which would allow James to rest and be enough to ensure sufficient offensive power to further expand the point difference. Now the Timberwolves don't make substitutions, and he can't make substitutions. It would be dangerous to make a substitution at this time, and he must withstand the Timberwolves' counterattack.

Ning Yi came to the front court and looked at James. James was silent, but his eyes were a little more dignified. After seven games, James had to admit that Ning Yi was a formidable opponent.

"ball."

Ning Yi took the ball and gestured to his teammates.

Love came up to pick and roll, Ning Yi quickly threw off James, and broke through at full speed. After reaching the inside, he was surrounded, and then sent the ball out to Rubio, who made a three-pointer. .

With a bang, the ball goes in.

The score difference is 16 points.

After two rounds, Ning Yi made a breakthrough again. A back pass that didn't look at people was passed to Le Fu.

Under Ning Yi's go-betweens, the Timberwolves played a good wave of offense, but unfortunately the Cavaliers are in a good state. On the defensive end, the Timberwolves have never been able to really contain their opponents. The point difference has narrowed a bit, but not much.

With only two minutes left in the third quarter, Adelman called a timeout: "Ning Yi, Love, come down and rest, there is still the fourth quarter."

Ning Yi nodded, sitting on the chair silently, sweat dripping like water, but he didn't care about it, just looked at the scoreboard, they were still 13 points behind.

In the last two minutes of the third quarter, the two sides changed into a rotation lineup, and the Timberwolves were still at a disadvantage, but Adelman did not dare to replace Ning Yi or Love, they were already very tired.

By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 15 points.

"The difference of 15 points, there is still one quarter left, can we make it back?"

"too difficult."

"Yeah, it's too difficult."

In the audience, Timberwolves fans sighed.

The point difference is not small, and the situation is unfavorable, but the Timberwolves players did not give up. After returning from the fourth quarter, they began to chase points, and the defense became more aggressive.

All kinds of physical confrontation and all kinds of competition, especially at the basket, are like a meat grinder. Both Whiteside and Jokic want to redeem themselves and are very desperate.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Whiteside was brought down again.

The referee blew the whistle and gave TT a foul. Jokic pulled Whiteside up and asked, "How is it, is there any injury?"

"I'm fine," Whiteside replied, gritting his teeth. There was no major injury, but minor injuries were inevitable.

In fact, it's not just him, Jokic is almost the same. His arm has been torn, and a blood stain is ten centimeters long. His skin is white, which looks very eye-catching.

In addition, other players also suffered more or less skin injuries. Fortunately, no one suffered serious injuries.

The Cavaliers are similar, the confrontation between the two sides is very fierce, the game is full of gunpowder, and the trash talking is not worth mentioning. It is more of a variety of small moves, all kinds of pushing and shoving, a lot of quarrels, and several technical fouls , Whiteside, Brewer, TT, JR, each of the four has one.

"Shua."

Whiteside went to the free throw line and only made his second free throw.

Adelman called a timeout and looked at Ning Yi and Love: "Now we are still 14 points behind, and there are 8 minutes left in the game, let's give it a go."

"Um."

"Yes." The two nodded.

In the auditorium, all the fans were very nervous.

This is the last 8 minutes, can the Timberwolves come back?

"Pull away."

Ning Yi took the ball, gestured to his teammates, and then broke through. After taking two steps forward, he suddenly stopped. James also stopped subconsciously, but Ning Yi suddenly started again, using a speed change to pass James. Zikov rushed over, but was knocked away by Ning Yi and scored a layup.

A minute later, Love played a low-post single, first turned his back and bypassed the defender, and after reaching the basket, he let out a low growl, and was about to dunk with both hands, but Pekovic dribbled the ball and pulled him down.

"Love."

"How are you?"

Ning Yi and Rubio rushed over.

Love stretched out his hand, gestured to pull himself up, and said, "I'm fine, but we're still 10 points behind, and the game time is running out."

Several people were silent.

Yes, there is not enough time for the game, there is only more than one minute left, and the 10-point difference is too difficult to recover.

The situation was actually more serious. Love walked to the free throw line and only scored one of the two free throws. At this time, the physical fitness of both sides reached the limit.

If it's just that the free throw rate is not high, it is a good thing for the Timberwolves. They can use fouls to make up for the lack of time, but the physical consumption also affects their shooting rate.

This is the trouble.

"Whoa, whoa"

Rubio, Dion, Martin are all panting, and so is Love.

Ning Yi frowned, he knew the status of his teammates, thought for a while and said: "Give me the ball later, help me cover and pick and roll."

Several people looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Coach Adelman called a timeout and rearranged it. When the timeout came back, the others gave Ning Yi a pick-and-roll cover. Ning Yi found a chance to shoot a three-pointer. The basketball bounced on the rim and fell into it.

This is a shot in the arm, which means the Timberwolves still have a chance.

The point difference between the two sides reached 7 points, the Cavaliers failed to score, the Timberwolves got the ball and gave it to Ning Yi again. Ning Yi used the pick-and-roll to get rid of James, but JR rushed over, and Ning Yi hesitated a little. Decided to make a shot, and made a fake shot from outside the three-point line, but JR didn't jump, Ning Yi could only force the shot.

boom!

This time he didn't score, but Love jumped up and made up the ball in the air, narrowing the point difference to 5 points.

The Cavaliers did not call a timeout, and quickly launched an attack. The ball was given to James. James was not in a hurry. After spending a while, he attacked and forced a breakthrough. But at this moment, James actually passed the ball. He didn't force it, but passed the ball to the outside.
