The King of the NBA

"nice shot."

"It was a great shot, a strong counter to Durant."

"Haha, Ning, well done!"

The Timberwolves fans were excited and cheered loudly.

Ning Yi scored the goal is not the key, the key is that he used almost exactly the same moves as Durant, no matter whether Ning Yi did it on purpose or not, anyway, in the eyes of everyone, this is a strong counterattack against Durant .

This is Ning Yi responding, you can score, so can I!

"Hmph." Durant's pupils contracted, and he snorted in a low voice. When the ball reached the frontcourt, he immediately ran back, came to the outside to get the ball, and then played singles.

Seeing this situation, Dion's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Durant closely. Once Ning Yi was passed, he would go up to make up defense. Durant must be playing singles.

In the auditorium, the eyes of the Thunder fans were shining, while the Timberwolves fans were unavoidably nervous. And the most excited are those neutral fans, they don't favor anyone, as long as the game is exciting enough.

"Come on." Ning Yi lowered his center of gravity and stared at Durant.

Durant started to move, dribbled the ball continuously, came to the three-point line, and then suddenly raised the center of gravity, as if he was about to pull up. Ning Yi subconsciously raised the center of gravity, but he knew it was bad when he moved.

Sure enough, Durant lowered his center of gravity, shot the ball forward, and accelerated past Ning Yi.

"Dion." Ning Yi shouted.

From behind, Dion has already greeted him, blocking Durant's front, raising his hands.

But Durant paused, and suddenly took a European step, flashed past Dion, grabbed the basketball with his slender arm, picked it up lightly, and put the ball in with a swish.

"Roar"

In the auditorium, Thunder fans were excited and cheered loudly.

Dion looked at Ning Yi with a helpless expression. He had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop Durant. Ning Yi couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, and shook his head at Dion, indicating that it doesn't matter, the opponent is Durant after all, this kind of super scorer has too many scoring methods, and all kinds of skills are at his fingertips.

When Ning Yi was passed by him, the ending was basically doomed.

I have to say that Durant is also very talented. With a height of 211 cm, he is completely the size of a power forward, but he has the skills of an all-around small forward. He is proficient in all kinds of scoring methods. The problem of being blocked if he goes inside is completely non-existent for him.

With his height, wingspan, and skills, the combination of these makes it almost impossible to be blocked. What can stop him, once of course he breaks into the penalty area like this, the only thing that can stop him is his touch.

At 25:15, the Thunder led by 10 points.

At this time, there were only two minutes left in the first quarter.

"beep"

Adelman called a timeout, replaced Love and Martin, replaced Brewer and Mbah a Moute, then spread out the tactical board and arranged: "There are only more than two minutes left in this quarter, and we are still behind. 10 points. But don’t worry, first of all, we must defend well and look for opportunities to play a quick counterattack.”

After this substitution, Dieng is still a center for the Timberwolves, Brewer is a power forward, Ning Yi is a small forward, and Mbah a Moute and Rubio are in the backcourt. The height of this lineup is not very high, but the speed is enough. Small lineup, suitable for quick counterattack.

What Adelman wants is to play a quick counterattack in order to chase points.

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

The players from both sides returned to the field and saw the opponent's lineup, Ning Yi frowned slightly, did he think I was easy to bully?

There are only more than two minutes left in the first quarter, and the main players should basically go down. The Thunder replaced Westbrook, Ibaka and other main players, but Durant was the only one left.

Obviously, they thought that Durant could take Ning Yi steadily and had an absolute advantage in this point, so they didn't replace him, let him continue to score points, calm down the situation, and it is best to further expand the point difference.

"I really thought I was easy to bully, huh." Ning Yi snorted coldly, he really couldn't guard Durant, but he didn't have to defend Durant from time to time, even if he did, he didn't have to One man defense, because the Thunder only have Durant as a strong scoring point at this time, the Timberwolves can completely let the others go and double-team Durant.

In addition, Ning Yi can't defend, but he didn't come up to defend!

"attack!"

Timberwolves attack.

Rubio advances to the frontcourt and gestures to his teammates. The Timberwolves players start to run. Dion comes up to help Rubio pick and roll. Mbah a Moute walks to the left, Brewer walks to the right, and the two cross. , Tear up the Thunder's defense, and set a screen for Ning Yi, Ning Yi stood still, when the defender was taken away by Brewer and Mbah a Moute, let him start, from top to bottom, straight into the basket.

"Watch out for the basket."

"Missing someone."

In the auditorium, Thunder fans shouted.

At this time, the Thunder team was empty inside, and Ning Yi ran back and went straight to the basket, which made the hearts of the Thunder team players jump.

"And me." Among the few people, only Durant was the calmest. He kept staring at Ning Yi. Yi a big hat.

However, at this moment, Ning Yi suddenly retreated, and instead of hitting the basket, he retreated, took a step to the bottom line on the left, and then jumped up.

"Damn it." Durant cursed inwardly, wanting to go up, but it was already too late.

I saw the basketball flying out of Ning Yi's hands, crossing an arc, and then with a "swish", it precisely pierced through the net, raising a dazzling white wave.

At 25:17, the point difference was 8 points.

Ning Yi fought back again and surprised the fans. Is this really just a rookie? Dare to confront Durant, tit for tat. The key is that they can always score.

"Hehe." Adelman laughed and praised: "Ning's playing is very smart."

On the field, the game continues.

With a little more than two minutes left in the first quarter, the Thunder attacked and the ball was given to Durant again, giving him a single against Ning Yi. But as soon as Durant got the ball, Brewer rushed over and double-teamed Durant with Ning Yi.

"Teaming." Durant frowned, hesitating for a moment, but he didn't force himself and chose to split the ball.

After a few more passes, Durant couldn't single-handedly hit Ning Yi. Once he held the ball, no matter whether he wanted to single-play or not, the Timberwolves would double-team immediately, even if they missed others.

However, the rest of the Thunder team couldn't score. In the next two minutes, the Thunder team missed consecutive shots. Instead, the Timberwolves scored two more goals, including a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

In the last ten or so seconds of this quarter, the Thunder made the final attack. Durant didn't score any more points, and faced the double-team and forced a three-pointer with a fallback. The whistle blew the ball and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 28:22, and the Timberwolves trailed by 6 points.
