The King of the NBA

Chapter 146 - In January, a new beginning!



   entered January, the Timberwolves ushered in a new game.

   The first game of the Timberwolves this month was against the Pelicans. Ning Yi will meet Anthony Davis.

  Just two days ago, Ning Yi’s All-Star votes surpassed Anthony Davis, squeezing Anthony Davis to the seventh position in the western frontcourt and turning himself into the sixth.

  Although this is a fan vote, but he was even surpassed by the rookie Ning Yi, Anthony Davis is still a little uncomfortable, not to mention resentment, but this time against the Timberwolves, he needs to prove himself.

   So when the game started, Anthony Davis played a very aggressive game, plus the Timberwolves Le Fu truce, the inside appeared a little empty, giving Anthony Davis more opportunities.

In the first few minutes of the first quarter, Anthony Davis scored 9 points, plus 3 rebounds and 1 block. Both offensive and defensive, showed a strong personal strength, leading the Pelicans The team firmly took the lead. Halfway through the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Timberwolves by 7 points.

   This situation is not good, the other party’s momentum is very fierce.

   Adelman called a timeout, disrupted the opponent’s rhythm, and made some personnel adjustments. He replaced Brewer, replaced Dion, and enhanced the defensive ability of the inside. The goal was to limit Anthony Davis. This genius power forward has too much lethality. Although he is only a sophomore, his strength cannot be underestimated. This season Anthony Davis averaged 20+ per game, which is enough to match the first-line star.

“Pekovic and Dion, guard Anthony Davis.” Adelman said: “There are Martin and Ning, you have to play more aggressively, don’t be afraid of being capped, it doesn’t matter, rush to the inside. If it could cause Anthony Davis to foul, it would be even better.”

   “Understood.” Everyone responded.

   The Timberwolves trailed a few minutes before the first quarter, almost because Anthony Davis was alone, and his offensive power made the Timberwolves passive. On the defensive end, Anthony Davis has become an inside barrier, not to mention that he only contributed a block, but it has interfered with the Timberwolves more than one layup.

  A player like Anthony Davis will not lack a defensive talent, just look at whether he is willing, because he must be coordinated in offense and defense.

   But today, he doesn’t seem to intend to keep any strength. At the same time as the offensive end is fierce, he is also very active on the defensive end, and the defensive role is self-evident.

   There is no doubt that Anthony Davis is the most critical point of the Pelicans. At least a few minutes before the first quarter, he became the pillar of the Pelicans.

   What the Timberwolves have to do now is to limit Anthony Davis. In both offensive and defensive terms, it is best if he can be driven off directly by fouls. If not, he must also limit his offense.

   “beep……”

   The whistle sounds and the pause ends.

The game continued, the Timberwolves attacked, Rubio scored to Martin after reaching the frontcourt, Martin broke the ball, but the opportunity was not good, the ball was sent out, passed to Rubio, Rubio immediately gave Ning Yi, Ning Yi took The ball lifted up, swayed over the defender, and then took an accelerated breakthrough to kill the inside and hit Anthony Davis.

boom!

   With a muffled noise, Ning Yi was bounced off, but the whistle did not sound. Ning Yi could only gritt his teeth, force his waist and abdomen in the air, and forcibly stagnate under the premise of losing his balance, his wrist shook.

boom!

  Now!

  Ning Yi fell to the ground, the ball hollowed into the net.

   In the auditorium, the Timberwolves fans were relieved. The ball was a bit dangerous. Fortunately, Ning Yi scored.

   “It’s a pity.” Ning Yi got up and glanced at Anthony Davis.

   This ball can be blown or not, but it is not surprising that the referee did not blow down. Although this is the home of the Timberwolves, Ning Yi is not a super player after all, without the privilege of star whistle.

   Offense and defense translocation, Pelicans attack.

The Timberwolves had twin towers. Pekovic and Dion stared at Anthony Davis. Once Anthony Davis held the ball in the low post, one defense was at the front, and the other one was always ready to assist. Even if Anthony Davis is talented and strong, in this case, it is impossible to score easily.

Anthony Davis is limited in this point, the Pelicans can only rely on other people, they failed to score this attack, Dion took the rebound, quickly handed over to Rubio, Rubio advanced to the frontcourt, saw Ning Yi ran back to ask for the ball, he immediately passed.

   Ning Yi lifted the ball and frightened the defender, but in fact it was still a fake, the goal was still to break through, but this time Ning Yi did not make a layup and the chance was not good.

Layups, fouls, this is a strategy, there are many factors that pay attention to, the player’s own ability, the position of the players on the field, the opposing team, etc… This time Ning Yi’s chance is not good, failed Get rid of the defender completely, so Anthony Davis is not in a hurry, so he can wait where he is.

   In this case, Ning Yi rushed up, even if he was not blocked, it is difficult to foul. The biggest possibility is that the layup does not enter, and the opponent fights back.

   So Ning Yi chose to score, pass to Martin, Martin passed to Rubio, Dion mentioned the on-line pick and roll, Rubio scored, and returned to Martin who cut in from the bottom line, Martin flying was a dunk.

Snapped!

  At the same time, Anthony Davis hit a foul.

This is the second foul of Anthony Davis in this game~www.mtlnovel.com~ is not a lot, but the Pelican coach still can’t help frowning and immediately make a substitution to replace Anthony Davis. He was not able to take risks, and played in the first quarter for such a long time. Anthony Davis was restricted by the two towers on the inside and replacing him was the best option.

   On the Timberwolves side, Adelman also replaced, replaced Rubio, replaced Barria, let Ning Yi play the organization forward, and began a regular rotation.

  Anthony Davis went down, the Timberwolves will breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, at this time Zhu Holedi suddenly broke out.

In a short time, Zhu Holiday scored 2 of 3 shots and scored 5 points, making the Timberwolves very depressed. Watching Anthony Davis going down, he can counterattack, but by Zhu Holiday. Soaking up.

   Until Ning Yi, Martin, Pekovic were replaced, the Timberwolves still failed to catch up with the score.

  By the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves were 6 points behind.

  ……

   entered the second quarter, the Timberwolves rotation played well, narrowing the point difference to only 1 point left.

   At this time, the Pelicans replaced Anthony Davis, and the Timberwolves also replaced Ning Yi and Pekovic. As soon as he came up, Anthony Davis changed the first quarter and pulled it out, making a three-pointer on the outside.

   However, Ning Yi immediately returned one, he took the ball in a back run, and took a posture to break through. After this, the defender paid attention and did not eat the shake. He took a step back early.

   But this time he still made a bad move. Ning Yi either broke or shot. When he saw the opponent, he took a step back. Ning Yi pulled his foot back and made almost no adjustments. Raising his hand was a three-point shot.
