The King of the NBA

Swish!

The goal is scored, and the three-pointer is valid.

This ball was very powerful, narrowing the point difference to 8 points and entering within ten points.

Coach Brooks frowned, folded his arms, and stared at the field without blinking. There were dozens of seconds left in this quarter, and they had to score one.

attack.

The Thunder are not in a hurry to attack, there is still enough time, they can play an offense patiently, and finally leave an offensive opportunity for the Timberwolves. As long as this ball is scored and another one is defended, they will complete the task.

Westbrook stopped in the frontcourt and gestured to his teammates. Ibaka came up to pick and roll, but the Timberwolves immediately completed the defense and did not give him an easy shot.

Seeing this, Westbrook didn't hesitate, stepped back and passed the ball to Durant.

Martin stepped forward, let him defend Durant, and Ning Yi defended Sefolosha. The Timberwolves had to defend this ball, but in terms of defense, Ning Yi was still not good enough for Durant.

Oh, it's been changed. Durant raised his brows, glanced at Ning Yi, and retracted his gaze. He didn't hesitate because the defender was replaced by Martin, and he still played decisively.

At this time, you can't double-team, you can only defend one-on-one. Seeing that Durant is going to play alone, Martin is serious and stares at the opponent with a low center of gravity.

call!

Durant moved, crossed steps continuously, and then suddenly exploded in speed, breaking through to the right.

Martin also moved immediately, taking a step back.

But at this moment, Durant suddenly stepped on the brakes and made a dry pull, leaning back a little, very abrupt and direct, and shot with his hand raised.

Shua!

With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

nice shot.

here you go.

KDmvp, mvp

In the auditorium, Thunder fans shouted.

The point difference became 10 points again. With only 22 seconds left in this quarter, Durant succeeded in a single, helping the Thunder to maintain a 10-point lead, and it was a mess.

In the last 22 seconds, the Timberwolves attacked.

This is the last attack of this quarter. Whether the point difference can be narrowed to less than ten depends on this attack.

After Rubio advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Martin, and then started running together with Ning Yi and others, still passing the ball back and forth, tearing the Thunder's defense and not rushing to attack.

However, more than ten seconds passed, and the Timberwolves still failed to find a chance.

This ball is also very important for the Thunder. It must be defended. Everyone is very active and fully devoted to the defense. The defensive intensity is very high, which makes the Timberwolves feel a lot of pressure.

When there were 8 seconds left in the attack time and the Timberwolves hadn't found a chance, Love took a deep breath, held Ibaka with one hand, and raised the other hand to ask for the ball: Give it to me.

This is the last attack, and Love is the core of the team, so he must stand up at this time.

Rubio passed the ball, Love tried a singles, took two steps back, pushed Ibaka back, and then Love retreated abruptly, raising his hand and shooting.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the ball missed and bounced out.

At this time, there were only three seconds left in the second quarter, and all the inside players were staring at the basketball, wanting to win the ball.

Ning Yi also stared at the basketball, and was almost the first to start it. When the Love ball was shot, he started to speed up, killed the inside line, jumped up first, and stretched his hand towards the basketball.

Ning? Dion was taken aback.

Damn it. Adams roared in his heart, struggling to grab the basketball.

At this time, everyone is staring at the basketball.

With a bang, the ball was shot flying.

Damn. Adams growled, very unwilling, he almost touched the basketball, but at this moment, the ball was shot by Ning Yi.

In fact, Ning Yi never thought about catching the ball. Compared with a few insiders, he is a lot taller. With Westbrook's explosive power and bounce, it is difficult to catch the ball directly, so He chose to shoot the ball, not asking for the ball to be taken down, but just asking for the ball to be shot to the outside line.

Ning Yi had already spotted Rubio's position, and there was no one around Rubio, because at this time, Westbrook was staring at the ball and didn't care about Rubio.

Seeing the basketball flying towards him, Rubio was taken aback, but his reaction was not slow. He knew that there was no time delay, and he raised his hand and threw it before he could adjust to catch the ball.

The ball is released, time is up.

At this moment, time seems to slow down.

People's eyes moved with the basketball, followed it across an arc, and finally pierced the net with a swish.

Go in.

Three points!

Haha, what a three-pointer, Rubio did a good job.

Ning also has half of the credit. If it weren't for his rebound, the ball would have been lost.

Timberwolves fans rejoice.

This is a three-pointer at the buzzer. At the last moment of this quarter, Ning Yi actually overwhelmed the opponent's inside line and gave the ball to Rubio, and Rubio did not disappoint him, and steadily hit the three-pointer at the buzzer.

In this way, the Timberwolves successfully narrowed the point difference to only 7 points.

7 points and 10 points are completely different!

here you go.

Ning Yi, Love, Martin, and Dion, the four rushed to Rubio together.

A group of substitute players on the sidelines also jumped up, surrounded Rubio, and celebrated with him.

Hehe. Rubio grinned stupidly. He was also very excited. Usually his three-pointers are very unstable, but he shot this ball hastily, but he didn't expect to score it.

Not far away, the players of the Thunder team had gloomy faces and dejected expressions. They did not expect to be able to defend in the end. After all, they still failed to complete the task assigned by the coach.

At halftime, the score was 60:53, and the Timberwolves trailed by 7 points.

After a while, the second half began.

Entering the second half, the two sides were still anxious. The Thunder's two stars were shining, the Timberwolves' Love played well, and everyone else had their shining places. After a while, the difference between the two sides was still only a few points.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Thunder finally widened the point difference to more than 10 points, but only one minute later, the Timberwolves narrowed the point difference to less than ten points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 5 points.

Ning Yi scored 4 points in this quarter, and his personal score in today's game has reached 17 points, only three points away from 20!

Whoa, whoa

When the score is stalemate, the players on both sides will feel extra tired. Whether it is offense or defense, no ball has to pay more effort than usual.

Entering the fourth quarter, the game became extremely fierce and fouls became more frequent. Players from both sides went to the free throw line in a row, but the free throw percentage was only average, and no one was able to kill anyone at the free throw line.

Until more than seven minutes into the fourth quarter, the score became 101:98, and the Timberwolves trailed by 3 points.

At this time, the Thunder called a timeout.

Now that most of the game has been played, the point difference is only 3 points. The situation is very delicate. It is the same for the Thunder and the Timberwolves. Both sides have a chance to win. These last few minutes will be crucial.
