The King of the NBA

Chapter 68 Don't Want to Escape

"This is not the case."

"It's not just wrong, it's very wrong. I fell behind by 9 points in the first quarter. If we continue to play like this, today's game may be suspended again."

"Yeah, Ning only scored 2 points, and he was defended so hard that he didn't have a chance to make a shot. Speaking of which, Ning's performance in the past few games was really unsatisfactory, and his score was lower every game."

In the auditorium, the hearts of Timberwolves fans hung up.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves fell behind by as much as 9 points, completely falling into a disadvantage. Although one quarter cannot decide the whole game, it is worrying to watch!

On the sidelines, the Timberwolves generals looked ugly.

He has already lost two games in a row, if he loses this time, it will be a three-game losing streak.

Ning Yi lowered his head, feeling extremely depressed, not entirely because he was uncomfortable being defended by Green, but because the coach asked him to avoid the opponent's starting small forward, which made him very uncomfortable. So after arriving on the court, Ning Yi was also affected to a certain extent. The continuous strikes were not only because of Green's defense.

Looking at the players under him, Adelman frowned. He took a deep breath, clapped his hands and said, "Come on, it's only the first quarter. The game is still very early, isn't it just 9 points behind?" ? This is our home stadium, with so many fans looking at you, are you going to admit defeat?"

"Of course not." Everyone raised their heads.

"That's right." Adelman said: "Cheer up and play hard. I believe in you, and so many fans also believe in you. You will definitely be able to catch up and overtake the score."

Everyone nodded and their morale was rekindled.

Not far away, Mark Jackson is also boosting morale: "Guys, you have done a good job. But I want to say, this is not enough, you can do better, and we can lead more." He pointed at the audience Xi, continued: "See? Most of them are Timberwolves fans. Whenever we score, there will be boos. But in my opinion, this is the most beautiful sound. The boos in the away game are like It's our home crowd."

The eyes of all the Warriors players lit up.

Mark Jackson said again: "We will play better later, I hope to hear more boos. I like this sound, how about you?"

"We like it too." A group of Warriors players laughed, a little grimly.

Seeing the cold eyes of the players and the murderous look on their bodies, Mark Jackson also laughed. He may not be particularly outstanding in other aspects, but he is definitely a master at boosting morale and motivating players.

"beep"

In a blink of an eye, the second quarter began.

Entering the second quarter, Ning Yi was dispatched.

The Timberwolves played very aggressively. Ning Yi adjusted himself, and his mood returned to calm, and he became much more calm when facing Green. However, the defensive pressure is still very high. After all, Green's defense is not covered. Although he is only a second-year student, if the light wheel defends, it may not be much worse than Iguodala.

Ning Yi knew very well that in the 14-15 season, when coach Steve Kerr took over the Warriors, Green was righted up and became the starter, and the Warriors also changed to a small lineup.

"Huh." Ning Yi looked at Green, took a deep breath, then started suddenly, his toes moved in front of him twice, then took a step back, his shoulders shook, and his speed exploded.

"What?" Green was surprised. He only saw Ning Yi shaking a few times. It seemed that he was going to the right, but in fact he was going to the left. It was so weird that he was also deceived.

Relying on a strange running position to throw away Green, Ning Yi came to a 30-degree angle to the left and shouted at his teammates: "The ball."

The next moment, the ball was passed, and Ning Yi had already completed the adjustment with the ball. He stared at the ring without blinking, jumped up, stretched his body in the air, and flicked his wrist.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

In the auditorium, Timberwolves fans began to cheer.

Ning Yi smiled slightly, feeling back.

In the following period of time, Ning Yi scored another goal, but he felt more and more defensive pressure, and the Warriors coach Mark Jackson suddenly made a substitution, replacing Green with Iguodala.

Seeing this, Adelman also made a substitution, replacing Ning Yi.

"Hey" Ning Yi sighed in his heart, and walked off the court.

In the next few minutes, the main players of both sides came back one after another, and Curry began to explode. If there is divine help outside the three-point line, one shot will be accurate, that is, Ning Yi, who has seen it before crossing, is not surprised.

But the audience, including the Timberwolves players and the coaching staff, were all shocked. Curry's shot selection was not good. He threw it one step outside the three-point line, but he was able to score.

It's amazing!

When Curry broke out, the Warriors hit a wave of shock waves, which suddenly expanded the point difference to more than ten points. Until the end of the second quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 11 points.

Entering the second half, Curry continued the touch of the first half.

Moreover, Thompson also began to explode, and formed an outside anti-aircraft gun with Curry. The two rained three-pointers for the Timberwolves, one by one, and the game almost ended.

At this time, the Warriors had led by as many as 19 points.

"I can't watch this game."

"19 points!"

People yelled and felt sad.

On the Timberwolves side, Adelman called a timeout and readjusted. When he returned to the court again, the Timberwolves' situation was a little better, but the point difference was too large, and they couldn't catch up for a while.

And Ning Yi was still pressed on the bench.

Entering the fourth quarter, the point difference narrowed a bit, but there were still more than a dozen points. Some fans in the auditorium had already got up and left, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

Ning Yi was anxious, struggling for a while, finally stood up with a gritted teeth, and said to Adelman: "Coach, I request to play."

"Oh?" Adelman was not angry, but just looked at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi said: "I don't want to only play when the opponent's starting small forward is not on the field. Even if I lose badly, at least I am fighting bravely. I want to fight, I don't want to back down, and I don't want to escape."

"Do you think this is an escape?"

"Yes." Ning Yi said loudly.

All the Timberwolves players looked at Ning Yi and sweated for him. Don't look at the calm face of the coach, but who knows if it will be the eve of the storm?

Ning Yi looked directly at Adelman, not letting go.

Adelman was also looking at Ning Yi, frowning slightly, thinking for a while, then suddenly smiled, reached out and patted Ning Yi's shoulder, and said: "Get ready, you go, replace Breuer." After finishing speaking, Adelman added, "No matter how the game goes in the last few minutes, I won't replace you again."

"Well, thank you coach." Ning Yi thanked him repeatedly, feeling a little moved in his heart. If it was a different coach, such as Chris Gent of the Kings, maybe the ending would be different.

Adelman called a timeout and replaced Ning Yi.
