The older superstars of the NBA

The situation on the field is behind, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are also very anxious.

The outside line can still maintain the situation under Zhao Feiyang's leadership, but the inside line has too many loopholes. A starting center like Gorgui Dieng can only be drained, especially when the substitute Greg is unable to play. At that time, firefighters like Gorji had more than enough energy.

After the half-time break, the players recovered a little bit.

Adrian Ennis tried to apply to head coach Norman Thomas, but was still rejected by Norman coach.

"No! Adrian, take a rest! I will call you when I need..."

"Coach Norman, I..."

"Stop talking! If you want to play, you must obey the arrangement..."

Zhao Feiyang on the side also noticed the situation of the two of them, and when the head coach Norman returned to his seat, he also hurried to the other side.

"Coach Norman, does Adrian want to appear?"

Coach Norman did not answer, but calmly asked Zhao Feiyang, "Zhao, I know you want to persuade me to let Adrian play...but his condition..."

"Coach Norman, it's normal to be in a bad state. Even Yao Ming was not in good shape when he played in the NBA for the first time? But what happened later? Adrian was burdened by many people's expectations before. In this case, who should replace him?" The psychological pressure is huge...”

While talking, Zhao Feiyang asked the head coach Norman, "Coach, I mean if...if you lead us to the finals now, the outside world expects us to make history and win the championship. Champion, are you nervous now?"

This question silenced Coach Norman.

After a while, he said, "Okay! I can give him a chance, but if he performs badly, I will replace him...Zhao, I understand what you think, and I also know Adrian He's a hardworking guy..."

"The more this is the case, the less I want him to be knocked out early... Can you understand?"

beep.

The sound of the start of the second half sounded.

The lineups of both sides made their debut again.

Sure enough, Adrian was replaced by Coach Norman, and he entered the inside to take charge of the No. 5 position of the Timberwolves.

Possession of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Defender Eric Gordon advances with the ball, and after half-court, he passes the ball into the hands of Tyreke Evans.

Evans is no ordinary player. He was a super rookie in the same class as Stephen Curry.

Since entering the league, he has been one of the most concerned young people in that class of rookies.

It can be said that Evans well explained what is called "the debut is the pinnacle".

That year, Blake Griffin, the No. [-] pick in the draft, failed to appear in the public's field of vision due to an injury season. At that time, Curry was not as dominant as he was later. Existence, James Harden did not play a superstar performance, and he was only playing as a substitute for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

可那一年的埃文斯，已经可以砍下场均20.1分5.3板5.8助攻1.4抢断的数据。成为自“大o”、迈克尔.乔丹、勒布朗.詹姆斯之后nba历史第四个生涯首季就做到“20+5+5”的新秀。

Such a performance can be said to have aroused too many people's expectations for him.

Later, he got his wish and won the honors of "Best Rookie" and "All-Star Rookie Game MVP", which can be said to have a bright future.

Unfortunately, since his rookie season, his injuries have become an extremely serious problem. Coupled with his own lack of self-discipline, he gradually lost his star talent and gradually became an ordinary main player.

Evans was holding the ball on the flank and preparing to attack, and Zhao Feiyang came up to mark him.

Zhao Feiyang has known this player for a long time, knowing that the opponent's talent and strength are quite good, so he can't help but have a little more sympathy and respect.

The two met each other, and Evans suddenly changed direction from the right to the left. His speed was so fast that Zhao Feiyang was pulled half a body away by him.

But just as he was about to rush to the basket and lift the basketball for a layup, Zhao Feiyang, who was guarding him, jumped up and slapped him.

Snapped.

Evans' shot was cut off by Zhao Feiyang.

There was an uproar.

The basketball rolled out, Zhao Feiyang rushed forward and threw the ball back.It happened that Adrian was standing under the basket, and he reacted quickly and rushed to receive Zhao Feiyang's pass.

After winning the ball, Adrian threw a long pass to Zach LaVine from beyond the three-point line.

LaVine sprinted with the ball and quickly rushed to the half court.

He wanted to force his way into the basket to break through, but was blocked by the opponent.LaVine had no choice but to stabilize the ball and wait for his teammates to stand in position and attack again.

Zhao Feiyang passed halftime quickly, and LaVine gave him the ball.

Just when Zhao Feiyang was about to play singles, Adrian suddenly made a gesture, and then suddenly mentioned the high position.

Zhao Feiyang rushed to the basket, and Adrian blocked Evans, who was following Zhao Feiyang, and then ran to the penalty area from the right.

The Pelicans backup center Alexi in the interior can only choose one of the two at this time. He hesitated for less than a second and chose to supplement Zhao Feiyang.

Unexpectedly, the next second Zhao Feiyang threw the ball with a high toss.

Adrian, who followed up on the right, leaped high to catch the ball and made a dunk.

boom.

The ball is in.

The perfect cooperation between the two drew applause from the audience.

Those fans who don't like Adrian can't help but praise him when they see that he can catch dunks in the air.

"Although thanks to Zhao's pass, I have to say that Adrian doesn't look useless..."

"Excellent cooperation! At least this shot is like this..."

In front of the team bench on the sidelines, head coach Norman Thomas finally smiled a little when he saw this scene.

But it was only for a moment, he hid his smile, and once again watched the game with a straight face and a serious face.

After scoring this goal, Adrian looked a little excited.Perhaps this ball inspired his self-confidence, and soon, after 2 minutes and 16 seconds, in a fast break of the Timberwolves, Zhao Feiyang threw the ball into Adrian's hands.

Adrian who followed up caught the ball and made another dunk.

After the goal was scored, the head coach Norman on the sidelines couldn't help standing up and applauding him.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Adrian's performance on the court was not bad. Although he didn't score many points, he protected the team's rebounds. In this regard, his performance can be regarded as passing.

However, with 3 minutes and 01 seconds left in the third quarter, the Pelicans once again replaced the main center, thick-browed brother Anthony Davis.

As soon as Davis came on the court, the pressure on the Timberwolves also came!

They were behind because of Davis before, and whether they can hold it now will determine the outcome of this game!
