The King of the NBA - Chapter 380
“Damn.”
Howard was angry, very sullen, and went to the free throw line in a row. It was a good thing for others. He was able to score points through free throws and caused fouls by the opponent. But this is not the case for Howard. His free throws are too bad, and today is even worse, making him want to commit suicide.
This situation goes to the free throw line, which is almost the same as going to the execution ground.
“boom!”
Sure enough, the first penalty missed.
Howard grinned his teeth, annoyed his heart, and wished to smoke himself. Although his free throw shooting rate was not good in the past, but how can he say that there are forty-five percent, what happened today?
On the sidelines, Coach McHale couldn’t help but frown. Howard’s free throw feels so bad today, he was pinched by others and it didn’t go well.
“boom!”
There was another muffled noise, and the second penalty also hit the iron.
Howard turned black, turned silently, and ran towards his own half, with a heavy footstep.
When the ball reached the frontcourt, Ning Yi and Ning Yi once again made a pick-and-roll with his teammates. They took a step forward and directly pulled out. The basketball whistled and flew into the Nets.
“beep……”
McHale shook his head and asked for a replacement. Howard was replaced, Capella was replaced, and Harden was also replaced.
At this point they were 8 points behind, Howard went down, Harden had to come up, otherwise there would be no way to fight against the Timberwolves, and the difference in points would only increase.
Seeing McHale’s substitutions, Adelman also replaced, Ning Yi remained on the court, Adelman replaced the white edge, replaced by Love, Jokic played at 5, and Love at 4 .
Now that Howard is going down, the Rockets’ internal defense has dropped by one grade. Jokic has the offensive ability, and also has the ability to pass the ball in one hand. Cooperating with Love, it is enough to make waves inside the Rockets.
The pause is over.
After returning to the field, Harden opened the scoring mode.
At this time, he had to stand up to score and score as many points as possible. Without Howard, not only was the interior defense empty, but there was one less scorer. The task of scoring puts pressure on Harden.
“Pull away.”
Harden took the ball and gave a gesture to his teammates, everyone pulled away, Harden singles Turner, very simple, continuous crotch dribble, then the iconic step-back jump shot, the basketball responded.
This is a long two points.
“nice shot.”
“It’s Harden.”
Rockets fans shouted excitedly in the auditorium.
Listening to the voice in the audience, Ning Yi smiled slightly and didn’t care. Harden’s scoring ability was very strong, but he was not alone in fear.
The Timberwolves fight back.
The ball was quickly given to Love, and Love made a single shot and missed the shot, but Jokic got the rebound, flicked it and made a layup.
After dozens of seconds, Harden scored another one.
But just turned around, the Timberwolves here still scored a three-pointer.
This made Harden depressed and discouraged. He finally scored a goal, turned around and immediately gave one, and it was quite relaxed. Ning Yi, the wolf king, didn’t even shoot, other people were enough.
And on my own side?
Howard went down, and Ariza, Terry and others were replaced one after another, but it was of no use. Their scoring ability was much worse than that of the Timberwolves.
After a few minutes.
“The point difference has expanded to 12 points.” McHale glanced at the scoreboard, called for a timeout, made a rotation of staff, and rearranged the tactics.
On the Timberwolves, Ning Yi and Jokic were replaced. Turner and Jack were replaced more than two minutes ago. Adelman replaced Dion and Shabats, leaving Love on the field.
In the second quarter, only the last two points were left. Harden didn’t make it, and Howard didn’t make it. The Rockets were completely suppressed. The points difference further expanded.
When the second quarter ended and the score was 64:50, the Timberwolves led 14 points.
…
Intermission.
In the commentary area, Su Qundao said: “Director Zhang, the first half is over. From the current situation, it is clear that the Timberwolves have the advantage. Do you think the Rockets will make some changes in the second half and can they catch up?”
“It’s certain to make a change.” Zhang Weiping said with a smile: “But the Rockets want to catch up with the score and complete the reversal, I am afraid it will not be so easy.”
Su Qun nodded and changed the topic: “Now let’s take a look at Ning Yi’s statistics today. At the end of the half, he has scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists. The data is very comprehensive. It can be seen that his The state is recovering well.”
At the same time, fans were talking in the audience.
The fans at home are very nervous and sad, but some people believe that the Rockets will win, threatening to wait until the second half, the Rockets will definitely counterattack and complete the reversal.
In people’s discussions, halftime ends.
At the beginning of the second half, both sides sent together a starting lineup.
Harden is still in a hot state and quickly enters the scoring state. The pass received by his teammates is a three-point shot. The basketball bounced on the basket and fell into it.
Here, Ning Yi quickly responded with a color, also a three-pointer. He ignored Ariza’s defense and directly confronted Ariza with a dry pull.
A minute later, Harden took the ball, made a pick-and-roll with his teammates, shook off Martin’s defense, and then suddenly accelerated to a European step and scored a layup.
And, just ten seconds later, the Timberwolves failed to shoot. He scored a rebound and assisted his teammates to make a jumper after hitting the frontcourt. He added an assist and helped the Rockets get another two points.
Seeing that the point difference was going to be within 10 points, Ning Yi stood up, broke through the inside line, scored the ball against Howard’s defense, and also caused Howard’s foul.
“It’s him again.” Howard’s eyes glowed.
Ning Yi turned a blind eye to him~www.mtlnovel.com~ walked to the free throw line, and will steadily hit the penalty.
Here, Harden’s pupils contracted and felt Ning Yi’s momentum, not willing to show weakness. After coming to the frontcourt, he was a singles or a layup. Although he did not score, he caused a foul. Harden took the free throw line, made two free throws, and narrowed the score again, pulling it back to the zero point.
“Ning and Harden got up against each other.”
“At this time, as the trump card of both sides, of course, we must stand up.”
In the auditorium, fans talked and stared at the stadium.
Ning Yi narrowed his eyes, Harden wanted to save the team by his personal scoring ability, and I can also use scores to defeat you.
On the score, Ning Yi is not afraid of Harden!
“Pull away.” Ning Yi shouted, and suddenly a change of direction accelerated, Ariza quickly retreated, but at this time, Ning Yi suddenly jumped up, lifted the ball, with a little back, let Ariza Helpless, I could only watch Ning Yi’s wrist flicker and the basketball flew from his fingertips…
