The King of the NBA

In the auditorium, the Cavaliers fans were upset. They didn't expect this to happen, and they fell into a disadvantage from the beginning.

In the Cavaliers rest area, the head coach spread out the tactical board and re-arranged it.

Owen came to James and whispered: Ning Yi's touch is too good today. We must further limit his three-pointers later.

James nodded: Yes, he can't be allowed to shoot like this, and strengthen his defense, especially the three-pointer. Also, our offense needs to be more aggressive. This game relies on offense.

James has emphasized defense in previous games, but the Timberwolves' offense is very strong. It is not so easy to limit the Timberwolves by defense. It can even be said that it is difficult to limit the Timberwolves by defense, because the Timberwolves have Ning Yi and Love, and Rubio and Martin can also score, and there are many scorers.

In fact, the Cavaliers are similar to the Timberwolves. James, Irving, JR, and Pekovic. In their current lineup, only TT lacks the ability to score independently. It is similar to Dieng of the Timberwolves. The offense of both sides is very strong, and no one can rely on defense. Just restrict the opponent, then you can only attack against attack.

Timberwolves here.

Adelman first praised Ning Yi for a few words, and then emphasized: When we continue this kind of performance, the opponent will probably strengthen the defense against Ning Yi. Love, Martin, Rubio, you must stand up.

Only Dion, he just needs to protect the rebounds, the offense does not need him, and there is really no shot right assigned to him in the starting lineup.

beep

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

The game continued, and the Cavaliers strengthened their defense against Ning Yi.

Ning Yi tried two more three-pointers. He felt that the defensive interference became bigger and his hands were not so hot. He missed both shots. He reduced his shots. According to the coach's arrangement, he focused more on creating opportunities for his teammates.

The two sides came and went, the first quarter passed most of the time, and the Timberwolves led by 5 points.

The two sides began to enter the rotation time, and the Timberwolves came off the bench, but this time they failed to gain the upper hand. Maybe it's because this is the home court of the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers' bench lineup is in very good condition, feeling hot, and even scored some difficult goals.

When the first quarter ended, the score was 33:31, and the Timberwolves led by 2 points.

not bad.

It's only two points away, just one goal, and we can catch up later.

No, not just catching up, we also need to overtake, grasp the lead, and then expand the point difference step by step. Our Cavaliers will win.

Although the Timberwolves took the lead in this quarter, in fact the two sides were evenly matched, and strictly speaking, they couldn't take advantage of it.

Entering the second quarter, the game became more intense.

The Timberwolves' Whiteside, Jokic and others performed normally, but the Cavaliers performed exceptionally, and their performance was not inferior to the Timberwolves. The two sides came and went, and the score was always anxious.

Seeing this, Adelman frowned and began to change players. He replaced Ning Yi and Love, replaced Whiteside, and let Love and Jokic form an inside combination. In the previous few games, this lineup brought Surprised.

But this time it was not the same as the previous games.

The Cavaliers' defense is very fierce, and the physical confrontation is extremely fierce, almost desperate. Neither Love nor Jokic is a very athletic player. Under the high-intensity confrontation, the performance of both of them has been affected.

After two or three minutes, the Timberwolves have fallen behind by 6 points.

The situation is not good. Adelman frowned.

on the pitch.

Ning Yi squinted his eyes, and the eyes were shining with light. The opponent deliberately restricted his three-pointers. Ning Yi originally took the opportunity to create opportunities for his teammates, but now the inside performance is not good, and the teammates are not good. The situation is not very good.

Ning Yi took a deep breath and gestured to his teammates: Help me pick and roll later, let me play singles.

The teammates nodded in unison. Someone needs to stand up and score at this time, and that person is of course Ning Yi.

At this time, the Timberwolves lineup is Jokic, Love, Ning Yi, Turner, and Jack. Jack advances to the frontcourt and quickly passes the ball to Ning Yi.

James stepped forward, and while Adelman was making substitutions, the Cavaliers also carried out a personnel rotation, replacing both James and Irving.

Pick and roll.

Ning Yi made a gesture, Jokic came up to pick and roll, Ning Yi moved to the side, the Cavaliers quickly switched defenses, Owen rushed over quickly, beware of Ning Yi's three-pointer, and the Cavaliers were very afraid of Ning Yi's three-pointer.

But this time Ning Yi didn't shoot a three-pointer, but suddenly changed direction and accelerated, rushing past Owen. Owen was only wary of Ning Yi's three-pointer, but failed to block Ning Yi's breakthrough. However, TT has been staring at Ning Yi, seeing Ning Yi breaking through, he immediately set up his position, waiting for Ning Yi to rush in.

However, TT was disappointed.

After Ning Yi passed Irving, he didn't choose to layup, but stopped for a jump shot. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball slammed into the net like an obedient elf.

CIC hit.

TT felt sorry, and said in his heart that if you dare to break into the inside line, I will give you a big cap.

Because Ning Yi scored a few three-pointers in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers already knew that Ning Yi's three-pointers were very sharp in the first six games, they were particularly afraid of Ning Yi's three-pointers and focused on marking three-pointers, even if it was It is not hesitating to be easily broken by Ning Yi because he is too forward.

But this time the Cavaliers paid a price for it. Ning Yi broke through again and again, and after passing the defender, he made a jump shot, which made the Cavaliers' inside preparations useless. Originally, they planned to let Ning Yi break through, but they stuck inside and did not give Ning Yi an easy layup. In the case of a small space, the defensive interference will be greater, and it will be more difficult for Ning Yi to score.

But who knows that Ning Yi is not afraid of TT's supplementary defense.

At the beginning, TT was still within the three-second zone, and then TT simply rushed to the free throw line and even blocked Ning Yi's face, but Ning Yi still dared to shoot and still made it.

This makes people desperate.

Shua!

There was another soft sound, and TT turned back to look at the ring without giving up, only to see the basketball coming out from under the net, and the white net was flying, which was particularly dazzling.

TT was indignant: Damn, he went in again. Isn't this guy accurate with three points? Why is he so accurate in mid-range shots? I covered his face and covered his eyes, and he still made shots.

James and other Cavaliers players also frowned wildly.

In the previous six games, Ning Yi was not only sharp in three-pointers, but also very sharp in breakthroughs, and because he was more than two meters tall, with excellent bounce and explosive power, after breakthroughs, he often scored inside and scored. It was not easy for defenders to block shots It's not like he has mid-range jumpers like today, but not so often, and his shooting percentage is not so scary.

The Cavaliers called timeout again.

Ning Yi smiled slightly, this is the power of the ninth-level CIC, it is really cool.
