The King of the NBA

Chapter 66 - Losing Streak

In the last quarter, the Timberwolves launched a counterattack and once overtook the score.

But at this time, Anthony can always stand up and score, help the team stabilize the situation, and firmly suppress the Timberwolves with super personal ability. Although the difference between the two sides is not big, the Knicks can still maintain the lead.

Ning Yi didn't get many chances to play in the fourth quarter. The score was too tight. Adelman had his own considerations. More often, he let the main players such as Martin, Love, and Pekovic play. Chance to chase points.

Today, Love, Martin, Pekovic, Rubio, and Brewer all played a lot of playing time, almost guaranteeing that at least one starter will be on the court at any given time.

Correspondingly, substitute players like Ning Yi and Dion will have less playing time.

In the last quarter, Ning Yi only took one shot and failed to hit. Then he was replaced, and Adelman replaced Love, Martin, and Brewer early.

Looking at the situation on the field, Ning Yi knew that he might not have a chance to play again.

This is not the point, the point is that the current situation on the court is very unfavorable to the Timberwolves, and the morale of the Knicks is like a rainbow. As long as Anthony is on the court, even if he does not score, it will also help the Knicks.

The super performance throughout the game made the Knicks full of confidence in Anthony, believing that no matter what time it is, as long as Anthony is there, they will not lose.

Under this mentality, the Knicks played very rigorously and methodically, and did not give the Timberwolves many opportunities.

Until the last two minutes, the Timberwolves were still 5 points behind. With less and less time, the chances of the Timberwolves became smaller and smaller. The situation was completely deflected and fell to the Knicks.

"It's over." Ning Yi thought to himself, although he didn't want to accept it, he had to admit that he lost this game, so there was no suspense.

In fact, this is true. When the game entered the final tens of seconds, the Timberwolves were still 7 points behind.

At this time, the game was basically over. Adelman made the last effort, called a timeout, and arranged the final tactics, but the execution was not smooth and he was not able to score.

At this point, the game completely lost suspense.

"beep"

When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 107:114, and the Timberwolves lost the game by 7 points.

In this game, Anthony is undoubtedly the most dazzling star on the field. He scored 43 points, plus 6 rebounds and 3 assists. His performance was incomprehensible.

Today, Ning Yi scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. Compared with the previous two games, the data has shrunk a bit, and he was suppressed by Anthony, which has become a topic of discussion.

"Ning still can't do it, it's over as soon as he meets a star."

"Yeah, it's okay if you don't meet a star, but if you meet a star, you will be abused."

"His physical fitness is a bit poor, and he is simply a loophole in defense. Facing high scorers like Anthony, he really can only send points."

People are talking, and there are many criticisms of Ning Yi.

This is not malicious slander, because some things are indeed true. Defense has always been lacking in Ning Yi. It is not obvious against ordinary role players, but once against stars, this problem will be magnified and become a weakness.

China.

"The Timberwolves lost."

"It's still a loss. It's a pity. The score has been very tight. It was only a little bit close to winning."

"How many points did Ning Yi get?"

"13 points."

"so little?"

"Yeah, a little less than the previous two games. He was completely at a disadvantage against Anthony, but against Kenyon Martin, he played very well. I just don't know what Kenyon Martin said to Ning Yi ?”

People were talking and curious about what Kenyon Martin had said.

And not long after, some people gave the answer.

Some people guessed the result from Kenyon Martin's mouth shape, and it was soon confirmed that the result was confirmed by the indistinct sound recorded by the live equipment, which was consistent with people's guess.

For a while, the Huaxia fans were angry.

"'Yellow monkey'? This is an insult to us, damn Kenyon Martin, no wonder Ning Yi is so angry, if it were me, I would have beaten him."

"I strongly demand that the NBA give an explanation, and it cannot be settled so easily. This is discrimination, an insult to Chiluoluo, and an insult to all Chinese people. Kenyon Martin must be punished."

Huaxia fans were outraged, and major sports media and platforms also spoke out to condemn Kenyon Martin, asking the NBA to give an explanation, an apology and punishment.

In addition, some Chinese in New York even spontaneously organized to block the door in the block where Kenyon Martin's home is located. It is said that he was too scared to go home and could only hide in the hotel.

It's just that Ning Yi didn't know these things. After the game with the Knicks, he boarded the plane and flew to Cleveland overnight with his teammates. They will play against the Cavaliers tomorrow.

The next day, the Timberwolves played against the Cavaliers.

Maybe the loss to the Knicks the day before had affected everyone, or maybe it was back-to-back games, and everyone's physical fitness had not recovered. From the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves fell behind the Cavaliers.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 9 points.

Ning Yi was not in good shape today, and felt cold. He hit the iron three times before, and only hit the fourth ball. In the first quarter, he only scored 3 points, one mid-range shot, and one free throw.

In fact, everyone in the Timberwolves did not perform well today. After the first half, the Timberwolves scored the highest score was Rubio, who scored 7 points.

At this time, the Timberwolves also fell behind by 14 points.

Entering the second half, the Cavaliers further expanded the point difference. Rubio failed to continue his performance in the first quarter and fell into a disadvantage in the matchup with Irving, making it difficult to guard Irving.

Throughout the third quarter, Irving scored 13 points.

Until the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves didn't even take the lead once, and they were out of shape as a whole, making Adelman shake his head again and again, with a very ugly expression on his face.

When the game ended, the Timberwolves lost by 16 points.

In this game, Ning Yi felt sluggish throughout the game. He only scored 11 points, plus 3 rebounds and 1 assist, which was even worse than the previous game. But today, no one in the Timberwolves team scored 20 points. The highest scorer in the team was Martin, who scored 19 points. Comparing everyone's scores together, Ning Yi's 11 points are not so ugly.

"Lost again."

"Two consecutive losses."

"This match is back-to-back, and it's understandable to lose."

"Maybe, I hope to win the next game."

The Timberwolves lost two consecutive games, which caused dissatisfaction among some fans, but since the Timberwolves played back-to-back games, many people also expressed their understanding.

At the same time, the NBA announced on its official website that because Kenyon Martin had insulting language on the field and involved racial discrimination, the league decided to punish him. He will be fined $30,000 and suspended for one game. field.

This is good news. Those Knicks fans who had complained about Ning Yi also changed their attitudes. They no longer defended Kenyon Martin and praised Ning Yi instead.

It's just that Ning Yi is not in the mood to care about this at this time, because they will usher in a strong enemy - the Golden State Warriors!
