The King of the NBA

Chapter 46 The end of the preseason

One game was 21, one game was 25. Before the game was over, Ning Yi scored another 20 points and scored 20+ points in three consecutive games. Although this was only a preseason game, it still shocked people.

If it's a star player, like Love, or Martin, it's no surprise that they did it, even in the regular season.

But Ning Yi is different, he is just a rookie.

For rookies, the preseason is a testing ground for the regular season, not much different from the regular season faced by people like Love and Martin.

As far as this year's rookies are concerned, some people have scored 20+ in a single game, but so far, no one has been able to score 20+ in three consecutive games like Ning Yi.

And judging from this year's situation, I am afraid that no rookie will do it again.

What's more, to be precise, Ning Yi is just a draft pick who didn't even make it to the second round, but he did what even the top three rookies in the first round could not do.

This is where people feel the most incredible.

This year's draft, ha ha. Some people laughed. There are omissions in the draft every year, but this year's omission is a bit too big, right?

Some people who understand are constantly shaking their heads and smiling bitterly. It's not that the level of scouting is not enough, nor is it that the managers of each team are idiots, but that Ning Yi is too surprising and his progress is too fast.

Some people knew Ning Yi before the draft and knew what level he was.

But looking at Ning Yi now, they were frightened. Is this really the same person? Isn't this guy taking drugs?

After the shock, some people began to regret that they had already signed Ning Yi with a second-round pick. Even if Ning Yi stopped here and made no progress, it would be worth it, right?

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

The fans, on the other hand, are surprised after being surprised, except for the occasional sarcasm of some people, it doesn't matter that much. Anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon. When Curry participated in the draft, the managers and coaches of the teams were not optimistic about him, but look at him now?

Going back a little further, Curry graduated from high school and went to Duke University's training camp, but was eventually dropped. Some other colleges are also not optimistic about him, thinking that he is too thin, poor shot selection, no future.

Only Davis College offered an olive branch to Curry, and what they got in return was that Curry averaged 21.5 points per game during his freshman year in college and won the SEC league scoring title.

In his sophomore season, Curry averaged 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. His performance was amazing and blinded countless people.

So, this is not uncommon, just like the number one parallel importer.

Ning, Ning

Ning Yi, Ning Yi

In the auditorium, Timberwolves fans stood up, shouted Ning Yi's name, and cheered for him.

Some people are not used to it, they can only call out the word Ning. Some people can already pronounce Ning Yi's full name. Although the pronunciation is not so standard, people's voices merge together to form a huge wave of voices , reverberating throughout the arena.

Crazy! Coach Stevens shook his head in disbelief.

Budinger, Cunningham, and Williams are bored and feel depressed. With Ning Yi's current momentum, it is almost impossible for them to stand out.

The game continues.

In the next few minutes, Ning Yi shot again, but failed to make a shot. He suppressed it and stopped shooting casually. What he pursues is high efficiency and a sufficient shooting percentage, which is the foundation of his standing. If he shoots casually, even if he gets a high score, he may not be favored by the coach.

Another three minutes later, Ning Yi found an opportunity. He ran back to get the ball and made a move. When he saw the defender jumping up, he laughed and jumped up too. The ball is thrown.

beep!

Swish!

The whistle blows and the ball goes in.

Hoo! people exclaimed.

This is a three-pointer, two points are valid, and a penalty is added.

After scoring 20 points, Ning Yi made another wonderful three-pointer, which made people excited. This is going to go berserk, isn't it enough to get 20 points?

Of course not enough.

Ning Yi walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath, flicked his wrist, and made the extra free throw steadily, scoring his 23rd point of the game!

At this time, the Timberwolves had already led the Celtics by as many as 17 points, and there was only a minute left in the game. Adelman smiled and replaced Ning Yi.

Ning, congratulations.

Ning, you are simply invincible.

Some fans already know Ning Yi's full name, but Timberwolves players still like to call him Ning because it is so simple and friendly.

A group of people came up and congratulated Ning Yi one after another.

Hehe. Ning Yi smirked, and his heart was very excited, 20+ in three consecutive games, even he didn't think about it, but it happened like this.

In the next minute or so, there were no bright spots and it was very dull. The game ended like this. The Timberwolves defeated the Celtics with a 15-point lead and a preseason record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Ning Yi.

The interview process was similar to the previous one. The reporter asked questions, Ning Yi talked about his feelings, the reporter also congratulated him, and Ning Yi got used to it.

The game is over, and the fans' discussion is still going on. Ning Yi's madness shocked the fans for three consecutive games of 20+. a phenomenal level.

The game against the Celtics is over, and the Timberwolves fly to Philadelphia.

Two days later, the Timberwolves challenged the 76ers at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

In this game, Ning Yi also got the chance to start, but the feeling is no longer so hot. The crazy outbreak period has passed and returned to normal.

Of course, even so, Ning Yi's performance was still good, scoring 15 points, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal.

The Timberwolves scored the highest in this game was Love, who scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks to help the Timberwolves beat the 76ers and win another victory.

After that, the Timberwolves flew non-stop to Detroit to play back-to-back games against the Pistons.

Maybe it's the consecutive away games and this is a back-to-back game. The players are obviously out of shape. From the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves have been fighting hard, from Love, Martin, to Ning Yi, Rubio, Brewer, Dion. Timberwolves The whole team, without exception, was out of shape.

It wasn't until the second half that the Timberwolves regained some touch.

But the Pistons played very well today, with a high shooting percentage. The Timberwolves dug too much holes in the front and couldn't fill in the back at all. In the end, they had no choice but to lose the game with an 11-point disadvantage.

Ning Yi was still the starter in this game, scoring 14 points, plus 2 rebounds and 4 assists, but his shooting percentage was not high, only 42%, and he also had a personal high of 4 turnovers.

However, the entire Timberwolves team did not perform well in this game. No one scored 20 points. In addition, it was the last game of the preseason, so Adelman didn't say anything.
