The King of the NBA

Entering the fourth quarter, Adelman still has no intention of letting Ning Yi play.

Hey Ning Yi looked up and sighed.

Sitting on the sidelines lasted for two quarters, and Ning Yi also realized that he might have to sit on the bench today.

A few minutes later, Dion was replaced, and Terry Porter sat down beside Ning Yi. Seeing Ning Yi staring at the field, he smiled slightly and asked, Do you really want to play?

Well. Ning Yi nodded, then frowned, a little lost, and smiled bitterly: But, if I still face Guy, I don't know.

Before Ning Yi finished speaking, Terry Porter interrupted: Ning, I don't think you should worry about this. You are just a rookie, and Gay is a star who has played in the NBA for seven years and averaged 20 points per game. It's normal for you to be at a disadvantage against him, and no one thinks it's something shameful.

Ning Yi's heart was shocked, and a trace of spirit was restored in his eyes.

Terry Porter said again: I understand your feelings. After playing for a few minutes in the first quarter, I didn't score a single point. I hit all the irons and was overwhelmed by Gay's defense. On the defensive end, you can't defend Gay either. Yi, this is a blow to you and makes you doubt yourself. In fact, any rookie in this situation will not be much better than you.

Maybe you are not as good as Guy in everything. You are not as strong as him, as skilled as he is, and as experienced as him. Terry Porter patted Ning Yi on the shoulder and changed his tone, But there is one thing, you are younger than him. You You're only twenty years old, you're still a rookie, you just entered the league, maybe you're not as good as him now, can you come later?

You are young, and you still have a long way to go, so you can't just be knocked down like this. Terry Porter said.

Ning Yi took a deep breath and felt relieved: Yes, you are right, I am still young, and I have nothing to be afraid of. Maybe I can't beat Guy, but I must fight with all my strength.

Yeah. Terry Potter smiled.

Thank you, Coach Porter. Ning Yi sincerely thanked him. Terry Porter has helped him a lot since he was not in the Timberwolves until now.

Ning Yi's eyes recovered, looked at Guy on the field, and secretly swore in his heart: I will work hard, and in the future, I will definitely beat you, Guy!

From this day on, Ning Yi has a goal - to defeat Rudy Gay!

Although Ning Yi regained his fighting spirit, at this time the fourth quarter had been played for more than five minutes, and the score on the field was anxious. Adelman had no plans to change players, so Ning Yi could only watch.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, DeRozan suddenly broke out and scored 6 points in a row by himself.

These 6 points suddenly changed the situation of the game. The Raptors led the Timberwolves by 7 points, and DeRozan's outbreak also drove the rest of the Raptors. They played a 13:2 shock wave in four minutes. All of a sudden, they led the Timberwolves by 12 points, and there was only one minute and forty-two seconds left in the game.

It's over.

With just over a minute left and a 12-point difference, the game has almost entered garbage time.

At this time, Adelman called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and announced that he would give up the game. He looked at the bench, his eyes fell on Ning Yi, and he shouted: Ning, you go.

Yes. Ning Yi got up, his eyes determined, even though the game has entered garbage time, he will still cherish this minute or so and go all out until the last second.

At this time, some fans had already left, and many people got up and were about to leave.

When they saw Ning Yi playing again, some fans stopped. They didn't sit down, because the game had entered garbage time, and with Ning Yi's previous performance, they didn't think it was worth seeing.

Many of these people were Chinese fans, and they stayed after all.

beep

The game continues.

On the Timberwolves' side are AJ-Price, Ning Yi, Turiaf, Dion, and Shabatz Mohammed finally got the chance to play. Although it is garbage time, it is better than not playing for a second.

Ning Yi looked up and saw the Chinese fans in the auditorium who were about to leave but stopped. He felt warm in his heart, and suddenly felt his nose sour and his eyes hot.

Bottom line serve, Timberwolves attack

AJ-Price pushed forward with the ball, and Ning Yi mentioned the No. 2 position.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Price glanced at the position of his teammates on the field and saw Ning Yi running back to ask for the ball. He flicked his wrist and passed the ball.

Ning Yi took the ball, and someone rushed up from behind.

Huh. Ning Yi took a deep breath and glanced at the situation on the court. The Raptors' defense line was not messed up, and the defenders had already rushed up. He immediately split the ball and passed it to Dion.

Dion hit the ball as soon as he got it, and carried it inside. Relying on his good physical fitness and good bounce, he was able to dominate the inside and scored two points.

With a score difference of 10 points, the Raptors counterattacked.

At this time, the Raptors also replaced the full bench lineup. The Timberwolves launched a full-court press, hoping to force the Raptors to make mistakes, but the Raptors were calm, prepared, and made no mistakes. field. The Timberwolves players retreated and launched a man-to-man defense. The Raptors were not in a hurry and took some time. They waited until the 24 seconds were almost over before taking a shot.

boom!

The goal was missed, but the Raptors' goal of consuming time had been achieved, and there were only a few tens of seconds left in the game.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Price scored the ball after he got to the frontcourt. He knew it was garbage time, and it didn't matter whether he scored or not, so he played sternly and didn't compete for performance.

On the other hand, Shabazz Muhammad came up with great difficulty. Although it was garbage time, he still wanted to show his performance. He ran back to get the ball, and then directly made a three-pointer.

boom!

It's a pity that the ball hit the iron decisively and bounced out.

Dion flew up, his position was not very good, he couldn't control the ball, he could only shoot the ball outside, and it happened to be in front of Ning Yi, Ning Yi grabbed the basketball, and the Raptors rushed over .

Huh. Ning Yi took a deep breath and jumped up.

In the auditorium, Chinese fans all looked at him.

This was a backlash, which made the Raptors players helpless. The basketball flew out of Ning Yi's fingertips, like orange shells, piercing the net with a bang.

Go in.

Phew, finally in.

The fans shouted, relieved for Ning Yi.

The ball came too late, but fortunately it was scored, at least Ning Yi did not score zero today.

On the court, Ning Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, but he was not too excited. He has experienced a lot in the past few days, and he is rapidly maturing, and his mood is much more peaceful than before.

This goal also became Ning Yi's only goal in this game. He only scored 2 points and 1 rebound in the game. Compared with the 18 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the previous game, it shrank too much. many.

beep

The game was over, and the Timberwolves lost the game by 8 points.

The fans have already left, and the Timberwolves players also packed up their mood, boarded the plane, and rushed to South Dakota. Tomorrow they will have back-to-back games against the Milwaukee Bucks.
