The King of the NBA

Hearing the first sentence, Adelman was still full of smiles, but when he heard the last sentence, although Adelman was still smiling, his eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank.

It's just that Budinger only noticed the smile on Adelman's face and ignored his eyes.

Shabazz Mohammed, Hamel, and Williams stared at Budinger unhappily, and secretly scolded this guy for being thick-skinned, but they were actually regretting in their hearts, why did they take a step too late, and let Budinger take the lead.

Only Cunningham didn't care. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, but instead he showed a smile, and whispered to himself: "Budinger is an idiot, he deserves his bad luck for talking too much." Thinking in his heart, Cunningham frowned, Walking up to Adelman, he said with a sincere face: "Coach, Ning doesn't look very good. He's been too aggrieved these few minutes. If possible, I hope you can let him continue to play in the second quarter. If he can Goals, maybe it will get better."

As soon as these words came out, Shabaci and the others were stunned.

Budinger looked like he had seen a ghost, staring at Cunningham with wide eyes. What's going on with this guy, why did he suddenly care about Ning Yi?

Cunningham turned a blind eye to Budinger's eyes, but still looked sincere, and called, "Coach."

"You don't need to talk." Adelman raised his hand to interrupt, looked at Cunningham with relief, and said, "Ning is not suitable to play at this time, let him calm down. Cunningham, get ready, wait for you superior."

"Yes." Cunningham replied with a solemn face.

On the side, Shabaci looked at each other, unable to react.

Budinger came to his senses, secretly annoyed, wishing he could slap himself, if he didn't say that much, he might have done it himself. He looked at Cunningham and hummed in a low voice, "This guy is really treacherous, and his scheming is too deep."

Adelman didn't know or care about the thoughts of several people.

This is just the preseason, not the regular season. Whoever is in good shape can play more games. Anyway, the preseason is to train players and adjust the lineup.

After a while, the second quarter began.

Both sides have a rotation lineup. The Timberwolves only have Pekovic as a starter, and the rest are substitutes; the Raptors are similar, with only one Valanciunas, and the rest are all substitutes.

This lineup is destined to not be too exciting and lack of entertainment.

On the Timberwolves' side, Pekovic didn't make many shots. Obviously, his desire to attack was not very strong, but Cunningham was very excited, playing very aggressively, defending fiercely, and attacking resolutely.

In less than three minutes, Cunningham scored 4 points and 1 rebound, which made Adelman nod secretly and had a good impression of Cunningham.

However, Budinger, Shabatz, Hao Meier, and Williams' faces were not very good-looking, and they had already sprayed Cunningham's bloody scolding in their hearts.

Ning Yi sat on the sidelines, watching the game on the field, but his eyes were a little dazed.

"Shua!"

In the fourth and a half minutes, Cunningham scored another breakthrough, helping the Timberwolves narrow the point difference to only 3 points.

At this time, the Raptors called a timeout and made personnel adjustments.

Minnesota side, Adelman also replaced, put on Love and Martin.

Another few minutes passed, and the Timberwolves overtook the score with the performance of Love and Martin. Cunningham played well. Although he could not score again, he added another rebound and an assist.

It wasn't until more than seven minutes into the second quarter that Cunningham was replaced by Brewer with 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Looking at Cunningham, Budinger and Shabatz looked badly.

Facing the eyes of several people, Cunningham smiled contemptuously, and turned to look at Ning Yi. Seeing that Ning Yi still had a gloomy face, he was relieved that he had performed well in the past few minutes, and it seemed that he would have a chance later. As long as you show it again, you will be able to suppress Budinger, Shabaci, and Ning Yi together.

Both sides on the court come and go, and the score rises alternately.

A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye. When the second quarter ended and the Timberwolves led by 2 points, Ning Yi still didn't play, and he didn't play for a second in the entire second quarter.

Seeing this situation, the fans in the auditorium were very disappointed and sighed.

In front of the TV and computer, there are more fans, including countless Huaxia fans, who are very disappointed at the moment. Ning Yi's performance today is too poor, which is different from people's expectations.

In the second half, the Raptors began to counterattack.

But in a few minutes, the situation reversed. The Raptors overtook the score and quickly expanded the point difference. They beat the Timberwolves 14:4, from two points behind to 8 points ahead.

Adelman called a timeout.

Several players walked off the court, and Adelman made substitutions: "Cunningham, Rubio, Turiaf, you go off. Brewer, Love, Barea, you go on."

Substitution, Adelman began to deploy tactics.

In the past few minutes, it was mainly due to poor outside play, coupled with insufficient lethality inside, and poor defense, so the opponent played a 14:4. So the first thing to do now is to strengthen the defense, and then the offense.

"Brewer, you have to play more proactively and attack the inside more. Only when you attack the inside more and attract the opponent's inside defenders can Love have more opportunities." Finally, Adelman told Brewer.

Cunningham played poorly in the first few minutes. The Raptors played Gay. Originally, Cunningham tried his best to perform well, but against Gay, he was just as tragic.

In 2013, Gay was full of lethality, averaging 20 points per game, coupled with excellent physical fitness, he was also a strong player on the defensive end, and against Cunningham, he was the same.

After a few minutes, Cunningham lost his temper.

Seeing Cunningham being hanged and beaten, Shabaci and Budinger laughed and gloated, because they were very unhappy with Cunningham, and they were very happy to see him being unlucky.

After making some arrangements, Adelman put away the tactical board and said: "Let's play our offense. Although this is a preseason game, we must win if we can win."

"Yes." Several people replied.

Not far away, the Raptors coach changed and readjusted their tactics.

When the timeout ended, the lineups of both sides changed. The Timberwolves played Love, Brewer, Pekovic, plus Barea and Mbah a Moute; Ranciunas, Vasquez, Austin Daye.

As soon as they came up, the two sides launched a confrontation. The Timberwolves mainly relied on Love's personal ability, coupled with Brewer's impact, Barea could also cause some damage.

On the Raptors side, the main scoring points are Lowry and Gay. Valanciunas mainly plays a defensive role in the interior, and the other is the pick-and-roll to cover for his teammates.

After some confrontation, neither of the two sides could take much advantage. The Timberwolves were still behind, but not by much, only 5 points.

Later, the two sides carried out some personnel rotations, but the situation on the court did not change much. The Timberwolves were still behind, although the point difference was only within ten points.

In this section, Ning Yi still did not play.
