The King of the NBA - Chapter 430
“Hush…”
The rest area of the Cavaliers, the players’ gasps are clearly audible.
At this time the score is 19:17, the Timberwolves lead by 2 points, turned out to be the Timberwolves, so that Cavaliers players feel very unhappy, shouldn’t we lead?
Of course, two points behind the score is nothing, there are many times in the regular season and playoffs, the Cavaliers fell behind at first, and then gradually overtake, and eventually won the game.
In fact, the most disturbing thing for the players is that James lost absolute dominance and failed to take advantage of the match with Ning Yi.
James is the absolute leader of the Cavaliers, the first person in NBA, is the Cavaliers’ biggest reliance. If he loses his dominance, the Cavaliers will panic.
“We have to believe in LeBron.” Pekovic shouted: “It’s only been a few minutes. We should believe in LeBron. He believes that he is the strongest. Ning Yi may be very good, but it is not LeBron. Opponent.”
“Correct.”
“Yes.”
Everyone echoed.
James shook his head and said: “No, Ning Yi is indeed very strong. He is growing very fast. It can be said that he is not much worse than me, whether it is technical or physical quality. However, my match with Ning Yi is only a game. Part of it, not all. We rely on all of us to win, not just me.”
Everyone was silent.
James knew what everyone was thinking and said with a smile: “Of course. I just said that Ning Yi already has enough qualifications to challenge me, but it does not mean that he has surpassed me and wants to beat me. He is still a little bit younger. “
Hearing James say this, Cavaliers players were relieved.
Yes, Ning Yi has become very powerful now, but at most he is qualified to compete with James. Durant is also qualified to compete with James, but is the NBA first person still James?
The suspension ended quickly and the game continued.
Both players returned to the field, the Cavaliers no longer rely on James, Irving and others began to stand up to score, which greatly eased the pressure of the Cavaliers.
In fact, the Cavaliers are not only James, Owen and others are also very good, they are all very good players, but James’s light is too dazzling, covering them all.
When they stopped relying on James and others started scoring, the Cavaliers’ strong overall ability was brought into play, and they quickly overtook the score.
“Worthy to be the defending champion.” Ning Yi lamented.
In the Timberwolves, Adelman also made quick adjustments. Ning Yi reduced the heads-up with James. The team began to play team basketball. Love, Rubio, Martin, Dion and other people also participated in it. You have come and gone with the Cavaliers, but you have fun, but the difference is not big.
A few minutes after the first quarter, the two sides began to rotate personnel and gradually replaced the bench.
changed into the bench lineup, the Timberwolves immediately prevailed. Last season, the Timberwolves suffered a lot in the bench, and finally lost to the Cavaliers. Several benches felt very guilty, shameful and brave. They have improved a lot this season. Now again against the Cavaliers bench, the situation is reversed.
The Timberwolves’ bench lineup has the upper hand. Whiteside and Jokic’s inside combination made the Cavaliers helpless. The Timberwolves suppressed the Cavaliers’ bench lineup and gradually widened the points difference.
Seeing that the difference in points on the field was getting bigger and bigger, the Cavaliers had to make adjustments to replace Irving.
Irving’s situation has improved since he played, but he is still not optimistic. He just said that the difference will not be pulled to his wife, and it is impossible to catch up. And in this way, Irving is bound to consume more physical energy. After the second half, in the fourth quarter, there may be problems.
When the first quarter ended, the Timberwolves led the Cavaliers by five points 32:27.
Coach Adelman was very satisfied with this result. Last season, the Timberwolves lost to the Cavaliers because of the weak backup lineup. This season, the bench has grown up, and once again played against the Cavaliers, it is not necessarily the deer who will die.
……
In a blink of an eye, the first half was over and the game entered the second half.
The Timberwolves led the Cavaliers nine points with 63:54 in the first half.
After entering the second half, the Cavaliers desperately want to catch up with the score, and the Timberwolves also want to further widen the point difference, the game between the two sides becomes more intense.
“Wow!”
There was a loud noise, James empty cut received a pass from his teammates, a one-handed dunk.
Ning Yi shook his head, his heart sighed, although his current three-pointer has broken through to the ninth level. If you consider the comprehensive strength, it has completely reached the middle of the ninth level, and even very close to the peak of the ninth level. He also has confidence in playing against James, but he only has the confidence to compete with James and will not always be in the disadvantages as he did last season.
It is too difficult to defeat James, at least he can’t do it now.
The third quarter soon passed by more than eight minutes, and the Cavaliers pushed the score to only two points. With the success of James’ empty dunk, the Cavaliers tied the score.
Coach Adelman requested a suspension, began a rotation of personnel, and gradually replaced the bench.
The Cavaliers also had to perform staff rotation. After all, the physical energy consumption of the main players is very large. Now the two sides are stalemate, it is difficult to win or lose in a moment. It is conceivable that the fourth quarter will only be more intense~www.mtlnovel.com~ That is when the points are won, so the main players must rest more and retain their physical fitness until the points in the fourth quarter.
After the two sides replaced the bench, the Timberwolves quickly gained the upper hand. The Cavaliers feel very helpless, the main lineup of the Cavaliers is not inferior to the Timberwolves. However, when replaced by the bench, the Cavaliers, who also hanged the Timberwolves last season, are not the opponents this season.
It can be said that the Timberwolves’ substitute lineup has completed the revenge perfectly.
In fact, the Timberwolves lost to the Cavaliers last season, not only because the bench was weak.
Last season, Ning Yi had no way to compete with James, even if he tried his best, he still fell into the disadvantages. Rubio’s 3-pointer is not stable enough, so the Timberwolves’ main lineup last season was not an opponent of the Cavaliers’ main lineup. The reason why the finals lost to the Cavaliers, in fact, the main force and the bench have lost.
This season, Ning Yi is stronger, Rubio’s three-pointer is more stable, and Love has reached the peak of his career. In the bench, Whiteside, Jokic, Clarkson have grown a lot, and their teammates have With a more tacit understanding, the Timberwolves’ strength has been further improved.
So, now the Timberwolves’ main lineup is not inferior to the Cavaliers’ main lineup. On the bench, the Timberwolves even surpassed the Cavaliers.
