The King of the NBA

With the arrival of the second round of the playoffs, countless fans have set their sights on the West.

Because compared to the East, the West is more interesting. The Warriors, Timberwolves, Spurs, and Thunder can be said to be strong teams, and they are full of stars. Every team has stars, which is enough to make fans look forward to it.

The Timberwolves sit at home and welcome the challenge of the Spurs.

There is no need to say much about the strength of the Spurs, and there is no need to doubt the coaching level of Coach Popovich. Whether it was the "Troika" or the current "Dual Virtues Era", the Spurs are undoubtedly a strong team. The team didn't dare to say that they would definitely win when they met the Spurs, so when Ning Yi proposed to "sweep the Spurs", all Timberwolves players were stunned.

At this point, both warm-ups are over and the game is about to begin.

Coach Adelman also knew Ning Yi's goal. Frankly speaking, he originally thought that he might be able to beat the Spurs 4:2 or 4:1. Confidence. As a result, Ning Yi proposed to "sweep the Spurs". Adelman was surprised at first, and then couldn't help but get excited.

How cool would it be if he could really "sweep the Spurs"?

"Let me tell you something." Adelman was making the arrangements before the battle: "We must be serious enough and go all out. Any slack or carelessness will not work. Just treat it as the finals, understand?"

"yes."

"clear."

In order to "sweep the Spurs", Adelman asked the players to come up with the most 120% combat effectiveness.

Not far away, coach Popovich also made some arrangements, and then the flute sounded, and the game officially started. Players from both sides came to the field, and the Timberwolves got the ball and launched an attack first.

In the auditorium, the fans were whispering.

"I don't know if Ning Yi and the others can win this game?"

"It should be possible, but the Spurs are also very strong. Even if they win, I am afraid it will not be easy. It is unlikely to be like the first round against the Blazers."

"Yes, I guess it's not very easy to fight."

"This is good, this is wonderful"

Amidst the fans' comments, more than five minutes passed in the first quarter.

For more than five minutes, the Timberwolves had the upper hand. Ning Yi continued the state of the first round, and Leonard was inextricably killed. Both of them are in the 3rd position, and they are both very strong. You come and go, each Kind of confrontation.

Love and Aldridge are similar. Generally speaking, Love has the upper hand. Physically, Love may be slightly worse than Aldridge, but Love has more comprehensive skills, from the basket to the three-point line. His shooting range, especially his three-point shooting, made Aldridge very helpless.

Timberwolves vs. Spurs, the core players of the two sides just formed a direct match. The game is undoubtedly a duel between the core players of the two sides. Whichever core player can gain the upper hand has a great chance of winning.

Now the Timberwolves have the upper hand.

However, the point difference is not big, only a few points. The Spurs' defense is very rigorous, and the offense is also orderly, good at seizing any opportunity. And the Spurs are very sophisticated and steady, they won't lose their footing just because they keep falling behind. Instead, they follow the Timberwolves closely like cheetahs, waiting for an opportunity.

Another few minutes passed, and the Spurs still failed to catch up with the score.

Coach Popovich was very decisive. Instead of letting the main players continue to play, he started to rotate and put on the bench. After all, this was only the first quarter.

The Timberwolves also replaced the bench lineup.

Coach Adelman soon began to frown. The Timberwolves' bench lineup is very strong. They have always been invincible and rarely encounter opponents, but today they encountered trouble.

The Spurs' bench is much worse than the Timberwolves' lineup, and their talents are completely incomparable, but they are on par with the Timberwolves' bench lineup.

This is awesome.

"As expected of a Spur." Ning Yi couldn't help admiring.

If the most difficult team in the league is undoubtedly the Spurs, Popovich can always play 120% or even 150% of his combat effectiveness on a limited basis , obviously there are no particularly outstanding players under him, but under Popovich's training, he can display surprising combat effectiveness.

When the first quarter ended, the Timberwolves led the Spurs by 1 point at 30:29.

"Tsk tsk, the Spurs are really powerful."

"I didn't expect it to be like this. The Timberwolves are already very strong, and they only lead by 1 point."

"It's really surprising that the Timberwolves didn't even take advantage of the bench lineup."

The fans are discussing, feeling that the outcome is a bit unpredictable.

The second quarter starts soon.

The situation has not changed much. The Timberwolves still have the upper hand, but the lead is not much. After the second quarter, the Spurs even overtook the score. Although they were quickly pulled back by the Timberwolves, the fans were still surprised.

At the end of the first half, the Timberwolves led by 3 points.

At this time, even the Timberwolves players are a little unconfident. Can we really sweep the Spurs? It feels impossible, and the Spurs are too difficult to deal with.

Ning Yi has always been calm and has been observing the Spurs, their tactics, and their personnel. After all, this is the playoffs, which is different from the regular season. The Spurs in the playoffs are also different from the Spurs in the regular season. of. So even if he played against the Spurs in the regular season, he still needs to re-observe.

Ning Yi already had some insights from halftime observation.

"Brothers." Ning Yi got up and said: "The Spurs are not terrible. Believe me, we will definitely win. It is not impossible to sweep the Spurs in this series."

The Timberwolves looked at each other.

Ning Yi did not explain, quietly waiting for the arrival of the second half.

The second half began quickly, with both sides in the starting lineup.

Ning Yi wanted the ball, singled out Leonard, took a tentative step, and then raised his hand to make a three-pointer. The basketball made an arc and made a steady hit, winning a burst of cheers.

But this is just the beginning, Ning Yi began to frequently single Leonard, forcing Leonard to single-handedly.

Originally, Ning Yi and Leonard also faced each other many times in the first half. The two sides won and lost each other. upper hand. Originally, the Timberwolves had a slight upper hand, but now that Ning Yi has the upper hand, suppressing Leonard, the Timberwolves' advantage will be even greater, and the point difference will be expanded step by step.

In just one quarter, the Timberwolves expanded the point difference from only 3 points to 12 points. Everyone looked at Ning Yi with admiration. This is really too strong, even Leonard is not Ning Yi's opponent .

How many can suppress Leonard at the small forward position?

I'm afraid there are only LeBron James and Kevin Durant, but Ning Yi is so tyrannical!
