The King of the NBA

Chapter 299 - Laughing at Fengyun Preseason (Part 1)



Soon, the 2014-2015 season nba preseason arrived.

  At this time, it was almost a month since Ning Yi’s hand in the Spanish Men’s Basketball World Cup. Ning Yi’s foot injury fully recovered and he has returned to the team to participate in training.

  Although the injury was healed, the Timberwolves adhered to a conservative strategy, but still formulated a relatively stable comeback plan for Ning Yi, and set a timetable.

  On October 8, the Timberwolves ushered in their first preseason game of the 2014-2015 season against the Pacers.

   Preseason results will not affect the regular season rankings, its purpose is only to run-in lineup, train players, drill tactics, and enhance the communication between players and coaches.

  The preseason itself is a process for each team to adjust from the offseason to adapt to the upcoming regular season.

   Of course, the preseason is more important than the summer league. Many players in a team in the summer league will not participate at all, but almost all players in the preseason, including core players.

   It’s just that these core players often don’t have much playing time. Their task is to find the feeling, find the state, adjust themselves, and also practice tactics and cultivate a tacit understanding between new players.

  Most of the preseason games are for free agents who have joined, as well as rookie players and young players.

   A summer has passed, many teams have changed their lineup, there are free agents to join, there are new players to trade, there are rookies this year, and young players in the second and third grades.

   These people need a stage, a more formal stage than the summer league to show themselves.

   It can be said that the preseason game is very important for these people. They will even decide whether they will sit on the cold bench or become regular rotation players in the regular season.

If you do not perform well in the preseason, you may not have too much playing time in the regular season; if you perform well and let the coaching staff recognize it, then congratulations, in the regular season, you may become a regular rotation player, that You have enough opportunities to perform well, fight for more playing time, and play a more important role.

   Timberwolves VS Pacers.

   Ning Yi was also the starter, which was warmly cheered by the fans.

   didn’t play in a month, Ning Yi was also a little excited, came up and fired outside the three-point line, but didn’t find the feeling yet, the ball came out of the basket.

   “Do not hurry, take your time.”

   Then, Ning Yi did not rush to score and began to revitalize the team.

   This summer Ning Yi has made great progress, not only in scoring ability, but also in passing ability and rebounding ability, all of which have improved a lot, almost all have improved by one or two levels.

   “Ball.” Ning Yi ran back to take the ball, then broke through directly, attracted a pass behind the defense, and gave it to Le Fu beyond the three-point line. Le Fu’s hand fell and hit a three-pointer.

   “Pretty beautiful.” Love and Ning Yi clapped and said with a smile.

  Ning Yi nodded and was very happy.

   After dozens of seconds, Ning Yi once again sent an assist to his teammates. After a breakthrough, he threw the ball into the air. Diang felt that the flying body was an empty dunk.

  When Pekovic left, Dion became the starting center.

  After sending two assists in a row, Ning Yi finally scored, connecting to Rubio’s pass from the three-point line, a three-pointer hit…

  In the first quarter, playing for four minutes, the Timberwolves had the advantage. They played very flexibly and flowered more, especially the two points of Ning Yi and Love, which made the walkers have a headache. Carrefour is still improving, having a great deal of lethality in the low post, and can also pull to the outside, and his pass is also good, especially with Ning Yi, Carrefour passing, Ning Yi empty cut, Ning Yi passing At the same time, Love Fu received the seemingly simple cooperation, but the lethality was great.

  Ning Yi naturally needless to say, he hasn’t played for more than a month, he is particularly excited, and he has the ability to attack on the offensive end. He has many breakthroughs, passes and rebounds.

   Only four minutes later, Ning Yi has scored 5 points, plus 3 assists and 1 rebound.

“Well, this is the way to play, this is the rhythm.” Adelman looked at the joy, nodded secretly, and waited for the dead ball, he called a timeout and replaced Ning Yi, Love, Martin together, five starters. , Leaving only Rubio and Dion above.

   This is a pre-season game, it doesn’t take too long for Ning Yi and Love to play.

At the end of the timeout, the Timberwolves are on the side of Dion, Jokic, Shabatz, Turner, Rubio. Jokic’s position is a power forward, but the role can be used as a center and cooperate with Dion to form a twin tower. .

   This lineup goes up, the effect is also good, Jokic has adapted to the Timberwolves system, plus Adelman gave him enough trust, playing very well.

   There are also Shabats. He has made a lot of progress this summer. Although he can’t compare with Ning Yi, it is okay for a sophomore.

   It’s Evan Turner, the defender who traded from the 76ers still can’t let go, unable to adapt to the atmosphere and rhythm of the Timberwolves, not playing well.

   This is not surprising, after all, he was the first player in the 76ers, but when the Timberwolves became a substitute, it takes a time for anyone to adjust themselves.

“In general, it’s still good.” Adelman nodded~www.mtlnovel.com~ withdrew his gaze, sat down next to Ning Yi, and asked, “Ning, how do you feel after playing for a few minutes? Your injury is fine Right.”

   “No problem, it’s completely fine.” Ning Yi laughed.

  Ning Yi said this, Adelman was relieved, but still told Ning Yi to take it slowly, do not rush, after all, after being injured for a month, it takes a time to adapt.

  Ning Yi nodded obediently.

   At this time, the field score has become 26:17, the Timberwolves led by 9 points.

   The Pacers called a timeout.

Adelman also took advantage of this time to replace Rubio, Dion, Whiteside and Clarkson. He spread out the tactical board and drew a few tactics, saying: “Whiteside, your task is Defend the inside and protect the rebound. Remember, you must remove the inside after blocking. Jokic, you have outside shooting and pass ability, so you need to mention the free throw line and give your teammates a strategy if you have Opportunity, you can play by yourself. If there is no chance, you must pay attention to the position of your teammates and send the ball to your teammates in time.”

   “Clarkson, your task is to advance the ball to the frontcourt, give it to Jokic, and then run to find a chance for a three-point shot from the outside, understand?” Adelman asked.

   “Understood.” Clarkson nodded.

   Adelman has already talked to Clarkson, clarifying Clarkson’s position.

  Not only Clarkson, Jokic, Whiteside, including Dion, Shabats, Turner, Jack, etc., Adelman has talked with them one by one, and clarified their positioning.

   The Timberwolves can decide how to play by themselves, only Ning Yi and Love!
