The King of the NBA

After the All-Star Game, the Timberwolves began to adjust to prepare for the playoffs.

Adelman also made adjustments to the rotation of personnel, becoming more clear. Basically, it is an eleven-person rotation, including Ning Yi, Love, Martin, Rubio, Dion, Whiteside, Jokic, Brewer, Shabatz, Turner, Jack, even Clarkson, Turiaf, Cunningham’s playing time has been further compressed, almost less than 5 minutes.

Entering the playoffs, the fight will become more intense, too frequent staff rotation will be unfavorable, and only a stable lineup can maintain combat effectiveness.

Moreover, such as Justin Hamilton, Cunningham, Clarkson and others, Adelman feels that they can not bring much help to the team in the playoffs.

Although Adelman still has some expectations for Clarkson, but his own problems are not small, there are problems with his playing style, and they are still being corrected. At least compared to Jokic and Whiteside, what can he bring to the team Help is limited.

There is also the issue of position. Clarkson played shooting guards with Martin and Turner in this position. His playing time will naturally not be too much. The same is true for Turiaf and Hamilton. In the 4th and 5th positions, the Timberwolves have Love, Jokic, Dion and Whiteside, so they can play a dozen in the regular season and reach the playoffs. It will definitely be deprecated.

This is not a strange thing, almost all teams in the NBA are like this. There are more than a dozen regular-season lineups. When the playoffs arrive, the number of players who can play in the game is at most 11 or even a few.

Adelman’s adjustments don’t stop there.

In addition to the lineup, Adelman also made detailed plans for each game, such as against the Rockets. The Rockets are now third in the West. The Timberwolves are likely to meet the Rockets in the playoffs. In this game, Adelman let everyone treat it as a playoff, whether it is defensive or offensive, it is entirely the intensity of the playoffs.

This is exercise and preparation for the playoffs.

Another example is against the Suns, Knicks, Magic and other teams, Adelman consciously reduced the playing time of Ning Yi and Love, but asked the two to explode in their limited playing time.

The Suns, Knicks and Magic have poor records. This season, they basically have no hope of entering the playoffs. For them, they are training more. On the premise of ensuring victory, they try to train players as much as possible. Of course, it’s also important to avoid injuries. Carrefour’s years of injury have already left the Timberwolves’ brains open, but I don’t want him to be injured again.

By the end of February, the Timberwolves had gradually entered a state of preparing for the playoffs.

When entering March, other nba teams also started to act. The teams hovering in the last eight of the east and west began to play a role in entering the playoffs, while the top ranked teams were at home advantage and postseason. The game is against each other.

This situation is particularly intense in the west.

The West is still ranked first in the Warriors, Timberwolves second, Rockets third, Clippers fourth, followed by the Blazers, Grizzlies, Spurs, Mavericks.

The Warriors have a very good record this season. Curry and Thompson are very helpful. Especially Curry played an extremely amazing season to help the Warriors firmly occupy the first place in the West.

The Timberwolves trailed the Warriors by 3 wins.

The Rockets behind trail the Timberwolves two wins, while the Clippers have the same record as the Rockets. The fifth Blazers are only two wins behind the Clippers.

This has led to extremely fierce competition in the West. Even the top eight teams compete fiercely with each other, because there is not much difference in their record, and if they are not careful, they will be overwhelmed.

Behind the Timberwolves, the rockets and the Clippers are aggressive, and they want to catch the Timberwolves.

Of course, the most fierce competition is the ranking behind. Whether you can enter the top eight is a key. If you can enter the top eight, you can advance to the playoffs. If you can’t enter the top eight, you can only go home to fish. This is different from the top ranking. This is facing elimination. If you can enter the top eight, everything is possible. In the history of NBA, black eight is not non-existent.

For Ning Yi, he has another goal, that is, to use the last period of the regular season to fight to make the shot to level 9 before the playoffs.

This means a lot to him.

Throughout March, Ning Yi has deliberately hone his shots, and midrange shots and three-pointers have become his most used scoring method in the game.

Against the Trail Blazers, Ning Yi made 24 shots, 2o shots, 1o shots, 34 points, plus 11 assists, 9 rebounds and scored a quasi-double.

Against the Hornets, Ning Yi made 26 shots, including 16 three-pointers. He made 8 three-pointers and scored 37 points, plus 1o assists and 6 rebounds, leading the Timberwolves to win the big score.

Against Pelicans, Ning Yi scored 39 points for Biao Davis, plus 1o rebounds, Ning Yi scored 32 points, plus 11 assists, 1o rebounds, and once again got three In the doubles, the Timberwolves also defeated the Pelicans again, which caused Davidson to be very hit. In many confrontations with Ning Yi, he did not have the upper hand.

Against the Mavericks who might meet in the playoffs, Ning Yi made 27, 18 of 27 shots, the efficiency was amazing, the game scored 45 points, plus 7 assists, 5 rebounds, detonated the entire stadium, making countless fans **** Tongue, terrified exclaimed.

Against the Spurs…

In this month, Ning Yi became more violent, the data is more scary, averaging 28.2 points per game, plus 1o.6 assists, 7.2 rebounds, overwhelming Curry, was elected the best player in the Western Conference in March.

With Ning Yi’s nearly violent performance this month, the Timberwolves gradually opened the gap with the Rockets and the Clippers. After the Rockets’ 5 wins and the Clippers’ 6 wins, it was almost equal to the second in the West. seat.

The reason why Ning Yi scored crazy all the time, the purpose is still to seek a breakthrough, but there is always no way to break through, although he can feel his progress~www.mtlnovel.com~ feel that he is getting more and more progress from the breakthrough, but he has never Way to take that step.

But it is not without gain,

This month Ning Yi’s performance experience is very not only brought the victory to the Timberwolves, captured many fans, but also completely conquered the Timberwolves players.

From Love to others, he finally fully recognized Ning Yi’s leadership.

This does not require any language or ceremony, but is reflected in the usual training, reflected in the game, everyone can feel, Ning Yi has become the leader and soul of this team.

Regarding Ning Yi’s performance, Adelman was even more stunned. He helped Ning Yi to say seriously: “Ning, you are now the leader of the Timberwolves and the new wolf king!”
