The King of the NBA

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

In the past half a month, Ning Yi has been training on shooting and running, and the effect is not bad. In terms of shooting, he has integrated the level 7 mid-range shot very well, and his realm has completely stabilized at level 7.

Of course, there is still a certain distance from reaching the peak of level 7 and unlocking the mid-range shooting skill of level 8.

The other is the running position. Originally, Ning Yi's running position was only level 5, which was not even the threshold of the NBA. However, after half a month of training, he has improved a lot and has almost reached the peak of level 5.

It was on this day that Ning Yi finally broke through.

Level 6 running skills are enabled.

The voice of the system sounded in Ning Yi's mind, very abrupt, which surprised Ning Yi, and then excited, his running skills finally improved a level, reaching the pass line of nba.

Although it just reached the passing line of the nba, it has a different meaning to Ning Yi.

Mid-range shooting and running position should complement each other, but Ning Yi's mid-range shooting is level 7, while running position is level 5. The difference between the two is too large, and it is difficult to coordinate and unify. Many times, he has a mid-range shooting ability but can't use it. Now that his running skills have improved and he has reached level 6, the difference between him and CIC is not so big, and he can also coordinate the two more easily.

This is not a little bit for Ning Yi's strength improvement.

Your current strength is considered to have reached the level of the NBA. The system said that before Ning Yi only had shooting skills reaching level 7, other aspects were really poor, and he was serious. If combined, he could only compete in the summer league. If you show it in the game, you will be caught blind in the nba regular season, and you will be abused if you look up.

Only when the running skills are upgraded to level 6, and the level 7 CIC is further integrated, Ning Yi's strength can be considered to have reached the nba level-to be exact, it is the general level of the nba.

But Ning Yi is confident, there is still some time before the regular season, he is confident to improve a bit, and when the preseason is over, maybe it will be unusual!

Just when Ning Yi's running skills broke through, Rick Adelman came, clapped his hands, and shouted at everyone on the field: Come here, I have something to say.

Everyone quickly gathered around.

Rick Adelman said: That's right, there is still more than a month until the preseason, and soon our players will return to the team one after another, but the problem now is that the team has too many personnel.

Listening, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Although they knew this day would come, but when it really came, except for a few people, most of them couldn't help but change their faces.

Now the team is still in the form of a training camp, with a large number of people, 14 people.

This only includes rookies, undrafted picks, free agents, and some vagrants wandering in other leagues, excluding Timberwolves' main players and veteran players.

Now that the preseason is approaching, the original players of the Timberwolves will also return one after another, such as Kevin Love, Kevin Martin, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic, etc.

When these players return, some of those who are now at Target Center will naturally have to go.

This is inevitable. Everyone knows that the reason why they worked so hard in the previous period of time is that they don't want to be one of the people who leave.

I tell you this because I hope you will have a mental preparation. We will announce the list of personnel tomorrow. Rick Adelman said: Okay, take it easy, and wait for us to have an intra-team match. This time Unlike the previous ones, this time it was not a half-court confrontation, but a full court.

In addition, the game time is also longer than before. It is divided into two halves, 20 minutes each. Let's break up and get ready. Rick Adelman waved his hand, motioning for everyone to disband.

Everyone dispersed, but their faces were all serious, not relaxed at all.

There is no doubt that today's match is different from the past. It is not only a change in the situation, but also the last inspection of the players by the coaching staff, which is related to whether they can stay in the team.

There are also some players who don't need to worry about whether they can stay on the team, such as Gorgui Dieng and Shabatz Mohamed. They are draft players and have rookie contract guarantees. Even Ning Yi, at least before the regular season, doesn't need to worry about this problem, because he has already signed a contract with the team.

However, even they have to be cautious.

This match is very unusual, especially at this time point, you can see it as the final inspection of those pending players.

But who knows, is this also an inspection of signed players?

After all, even though rookies such as Dion and Mohamed can stay on the team, it is still unknown how much time they can play in the regular season.

In order to express themselves and strive for more playing time, the signed players dare not be sloppy at all, and they must also be prepared to perform well.

In this confrontation, I'm afraid not many people will play on the spot. Ning Yi secretly said in his heart, looking at the crowd, his blood began to boil.

Ning Yi also needs to perform well. What he signed is only a training camp contract, which can only guarantee that he can participate in the preseason.

What's more, his running position has broken through to level 6, and he is eager to know what kind of power can be erupted with a level 6 running position and a level 7 mid-range shot.

After a while, everyone got ready and the competition began.

The crowd was divided into two groups, A and B. Ning Yi was in Team A, with Vernon Kane, Gorgui Dieng, Robbie Hammer and others; Shabatz Mohamed, David Cage , Billy Garfield, Robin Dunn and others are in the B team. This grouping is very even, and the strength of the two sides is not much different, which ensures that the game will not be one-sided.

beep

The whistle blows and the game begins.

From the very beginning, the two sides directly launched a confrontation without any probing.

Team A attacked, and the ball was given to Dion after it reached the frontcourt. Dion took the ball and it was an accelerated breakthrough.

Swish!

The goal is scored, Team A is 2:0.

The B team counterattacked, and after a few passes, it was hit by Shabaz Muhammad. Mohamed glanced at Ning Yi, with a murderous look on his face, and decisively played singles, leaning against Ning Yi and grinding inward.

It depends on the body again, shameless enough. Ning Yi cursed inwardly, retreated quickly, and did not fight against Muhammad at all, because the physical fitness was quite different, and he would definitely suffer.

Hmph, weak chicken. Shabaz Muhammad smiled triumphantly, turned around halfway, took a big step, reached the penalty area, and then jumped up directly, hitting the board with a hit.

After the ball was scored, Shabazz Mohamed looked at Ning Yi and said proudly: Weak chicken, have you seen it? This is called basketball. Your kind is not called basketball at all. Only women can only shoot.

From the beginning of the summer league until now, Shabazz Mohammed has been targeting Ning Yi, not dealing with Ning Yi, and confronting him everywhere.

In fact, over the past period of time, the relationship between David Cage, Robin Dunn and others and Ning Yi has improved and eased.

Only Shabaz-Mohamed and Ning Yi are still very stiff.

This is related to old grievances, but the most important point is that Ning Yi and Shabazz-Muhammad have overlapping positions. Both of them play small forwards and are in a competitive relationship.

The Timberwolves' scheduled starting small forward is Corey Brewer, who was traded from the Nuggets this summer, and Shabatz Muhammad can only play as a substitute.

But even as a substitute, the Timberwolves still have a bunch of forwards, including Zeiss Budinger, Dante Cunningham, Derek Williams, Luke Richard Mbah a Moute and so on.

With so many people sharing the time after Corey Brewer left the court, Shabazz Mohamed was already feeling depressed, but now that there is one more Ning Yi, it is no wonder he is happy.

For Ning Yi, the guy who came out halfway to grab food, Shabazz Mohammed instinctively disliked it, and coupled with the initial unhappiness, the dislike turned into hate, so Ning Yi was unhappy everywhere.

Is this guy a mad dog? He bites people at every turn! Ning Yi was furious, his pupils shrank into needlepoints, Okay, if you want to play, I'll accompany you.

Forbearance is not Ning Yi's style.
