The King of the NBA

Adelman glanced over the substitute players, and was about to speak when Terry Porter next to him suddenly said: "Coach, let Ning Yi continue, he is in good form today."

Adelman looked at Ning Yi, nodded and said: "Okay, Ning, you go, replace Brewer."

"Yes, coach." Ning Yi got up, excited, he didn't expect to get so much playing time today, he has already scored 16 points, if he works harder, he doesn't know if he can get to 20.

On the side, Budinger, Williams and others had red eyes. How could this kid be so lucky?

At this time, there were more than two minutes left in the third quarter, and the Timberwolves led by 13 points, but this point difference was not enough to make the Timberwolves rest easy. The CSKA team was fierce and their momentum was amazing.

"It's him again, why is it him again? Why isn't it me? Could it be that I'm not as good as an undrafted pick?" Shabaz Muhammad looked gloomy, disheartened, and felt that his future was bleak. He didn't even have a second in this game. In fact, he is still a first-round pick, but he can't even compare to Ning Yi, who is a loser.

"Let me tell you, we will do it later." Adelman spread out the tactical board and arranged tactics.

Not far away, the CSKA coach is also making arrangements.

He drew a few times on the tactical board, and after some instructions, he said: "There are more than two minutes left, so we will fight like this. We must be more aggressive, and we will fight for these two minutes to narrow the gap."

"Yes." The CSKA players nodded in unison.

After a while, the whistle sounded and the timeout ended.

CSKA is still on the starting lineup, while the Timberwolves are on Pekovic, Turiaf, Brewer, Cunningham, and Rubio.

Adelman replaced Love and Martin. The other party moved a lot and confronted fiercely. He didn't want Love and Martin to get injured in the preseason.

Brewer just came up for free throws, he was not seriously injured, but this is only a preseason game, not to mention the Timberwolves still lead by 13 points, Adelman will not let him play with injuries.

So after Brewer made one of two free throws, Adelman replaced Brewer and replaced him with Ning Yi.

As a result, the Timberwolves' lineup became Pekovic, Turiaf, Ning Yi, Cunningham, and Rubio.

"Shua!"

Once back, CSKA scored another goal.

Turning around, the Timberwolves counterattacked. Rubio pressed the rhythm after reaching the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Cunningham. Ning Yi ran on the other side, and Pekovic stepped forward to pick and roll.

The next moment, Cunningham made a breakthrough, jumped into the inside and then jumped up to face the defender. Relying on his excellent physical fitness, he knocked the defender away and scored with a licking basket.

However, in just over a dozen seconds, CSKA fought back. Point guard Pago hit a three-pointer from the outside, narrowing the point difference to 11 points.

Entering the last two minutes, CSKA showed super teamwork. Several people turned like a windmill, tearing apart the Timberwolves' defense and scoring goals again and again.

On the defensive end, they shrunk their defense, and the inside line was overcrowded. Pekovic and Turiaf couldn't play well, but Rubio made a shot, which was a pity.

For a while, the point difference narrowed rapidly, and in the end there were more than forty seconds left, and the point difference was only 7 points.

At this moment, Ning Yi stood up and continued the firepower. He used the cover of his teammates to throw off the defender, received a pass from Rubio, and made a steady mid-range shot.

"One more, Ning Yi has 18 points."

"Awesome!"

In the auditorium, the Chinese fans were excited, especially excited.

On the sidelines, Adelman nodded secretly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Ning Yi played really well today. Although the scoring was all shots, it seemed single, but the efficiency was not low. The most important thing was not to be soft at the critical moment. The two points, and the mid-range shot, can be said to be very important.

"beep"

At the end of the third quarter, CSKA missed the last attack, and the Timberwolves still led by 9 points.

In a blink of an eye, enter the fourth quarter.

After entering the fourth quarter, the CSKA team was still fierce and wanted to counterattack, but the Timberwolves did not let them do so. After the confrontation in the third quarter, the Timberwolves had already used their fierceness.

Seeing that the situation on the field was stable, Adelman nodded secretly, and did not send Love, Martin, and Rubio, and let the substitute players play with rookies as much as possible.

Shabatz finally got a chance to play, but his performance was not good.

Ning Yi also got a chance to play, but the Central Army team was obviously targeting him and was a little afraid of him. The defense was very fierce. Ning Yi made two shots but failed to make a shot. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Ning Yi no longer insisted on scoring. He just tried his best to defend and supported his teammates. He got another rebound and an assist.

Unknowingly, there were only more than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the difference between the two sides was 9 points.

CSKA still did not give up.

But at this moment, Ning Yi received a pass from his teammate, and instead of making a direct shot, he took a step forward, and then suddenly retreated, with his feet almost retreating beyond the three-point line, taking advantage of the defender Unable to pounce, he raised his hand and shot, decisive and resolute, the whole movement was done in one go.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

"Roar"

"marvelous!"

"rather!"

In the auditorium, the fans cheered and cheered loudly.

Adelman also showed a smile on his face. Now there are only two minutes left in the game. Ning Yi's goal opened the point difference to 12 points. For CSKA, this is fatal.

This ball killed CSKA's hope!

In the next two minutes, CSKA still tried to make a comeback, but in the end they were unable to recover. The time was too short, and they couldn't play a few rounds in two minutes. With a 12-point difference, it was extremely difficult to catch up.

"beep"

In the end, at the end of the game, the Timberwolves defeated CSKA 108:97 and won their first victory in the preseason.

The highest scorer in this game was Love, who scored 24 points, plus 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block, showing his personal strength.

However, if it is said who is the most memorable in this game, it must be Ning Yi.

Ning Yi scored 21 points, plus 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He was the second highest scorer in the Timberwolves, even surpassing Brewer, the starting small forward, and also hit a "killing opponent's hope" in the last two minutes. "The goal, his performance surprised the fans and impressed him.

When the game ended, the fans got up and left in groups of three or four. They were discussing, and the focus of the discussion was Ning Yi. Almost everyone remembered the name "Ning Yi", even those who didn't like him.

"Ning." Le Fu patted Ning Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You're going to be famous."

"Really?" Ning Yi smiled lightly.

Seeing Ning Yi's indifferent look, Terry Potter nodded with relief, and whispered: "Well, I have become more mature. I hope I didn't misunderstand you. Come on, you still have a lot to go through."
