The opening three-pointer in basketball

After a while, the substitutes went out and the starters stayed on the court.

The centers of the Timberwolves and Cavaliers stood together to jump the ball.

The Cavaliers center is none other than their champion Thompson.

This eldest brother was very thick and strong at this time, and it was obvious that he was an extrovert.

The mouth looks like chewing gum, and the teeth are constantly moving.

When the whistle sounded, Thompson was slightly shorter, but his reaction was faster and he jumped up. The ball was very fast and he easily caught the basketball.

When he landed, the opposite Timberwolves center jumped to the highest point.

The speed and rhythm of the two people are not at the same level at all.

With a height of 2.05 meters, Thompson can win the championship as an insider. He is definitely a capable person.

Thompson then handed the ball to Irving.

The latter caught the ball and rushed forward very fiercely, like a bolt of lightning, all of a sudden he hit the basket and then exploded for a dunk.

Following his defensive players, the gap between the two sides became wider and wider.

Although this defensive player is taller than Irving and has longer legs, he is far not as fast as Irving.

Irving is only 1.88 meters tall, but he dunks very easily.

As mentioned just now, Irving is similar to Thompson, with an average build, but being able to become the number one pick is not only because of his good skills, but his basic physical data is also very top-notch.

Seeing Irving so easily, Mike dunked and scored.

"Shrink the defense, everyone shrink the defense."

This is the defensive tactic Mike formulated before the game. He has studied the Cavaliers game, mainly Irving attacking the frame and Thompson attacking the frame.

This team's three-point shooting is average.

Irving, the No. 1 pick, only shot 31 percent from three-point range.

Therefore, shrinking defense is the best way to protect Irving and Thompson at the same time.

As for three points.

It's luck for the Cavaliers to make it.

If they really can make it, the Timberwolves will admit defeat.

It's the Timberwolves' turn to attack.

Bai Yi held the ball. As soon as he took the ball, Irving and another player stepped forward to double-team him.

Just as Mike predicted, the Cavaliers really wanted to double-team Bai Yi.

His previous three-pointers were terrifying.

Bai Yi paused for a moment, then threw the ball to the teammate in front of him.

Although he and Mike both felt that their teammates were noobs, they should at least give them a chance. What if they could succeed?

Yes or no.

In that case, Bai Yi can save a few skills.

Because Bai Yi restrained two people by himself, the Timberwolves are now four against three.

The player holding the ball was a little excited. He dribbled the ball to the three-point line. Seeing that there was no defensive player in front of him, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, drew an arc, and then hit the basket hard.

An open three-pointer hits the frame directly.

Bai Yi shook his head secretly in his heart, giving you a chance is useless.

When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, Bai Yi and his men huddled under the basket, not giving the Cavaliers any space to attack the frame.

Irving had to make a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the rim hard, with the same dull sound as before.

Jiang Bo couldn't help but laugh.

He then dribbled forward, and Irving and his teammates ran over immediately.

Owen saw a smile on Jiang Bo's face until he laughed at himself.

"Boy, what are you so proud of? You will lose."

Bai Yi glanced at Irving like a fool, and then threw the ball to the teammate in front of him.

Another four against three.

This time, the four people kept running and then rushed towards the basket.

However, the three Cavaliers also huddled under the basket, including Thompson.

He jumped up and then slapped him hard.

"Snapped!"

The player who rushed to the frame was slapped away by Thompson's big hat.

Owen chuckled and said to Jiang Bo: "See, these are your teammates. You will definitely lose this time."

Bai Yi was a little speechless.

In four-on-three, if the opponent is all shrinking, then use shooting to punish the opponent and give the ball to the person with the best shot.

It's just that these four teammates, even if they have the best shots, can't act as a deterrent at all.

A moment later, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again. Just like before, Bai Yi was double-teamed by Irving and another player, and he handed the ball over.

The latter caught the ball, reached the three-point line, and made an emergency stop for a mid-range shot.

"boom!"

CIC was still rejected.

This is Bai Yi's teammate.

Unless they are under the basket and put the cake directly to their mouths, otherwise, it is really harder for them to score than in the sky.

Even if you want to enter the NBA at this level, no one wants to go to India, okay?

Bai Yi and Mike shook their heads together.

Owen saw it and laughed again.

"Bai, stop fantasizing, you will lose."

Bai Yi curled his lips, "It's only been a few minutes now, are you too anxious?"

"Bai, do you think you have a chance? Hum, we will be ahead by twenty points soon."

Irving boasted, but the reality was that after four minutes of play, the Cavaliers scored 4-0.

That's right, the two teams only scored four points in four minutes.

I have to say that the quality of the summer league is really bad.

Except for Bai Yi, no one in the Timberwolves has the ability to score independently, and their shooting is terrible.

And the Cavaliers, despite having Irving and Thompson.

But the two of them are still three points apart.

Now both teams are shrinking their defense, and their scores are actually about the same.

Bai Yi felt that he didn't need to use skills yet.

In fact, if his four teammates are reliable enough, he is sure to win without using any skills.

People are alive and constantly moving. Even if two people double-team, Bai Yi will have a chance to shoot.

It's a pity that his teammates are not strong enough, so he can't do anything.

Of course, knights are actually just as bad.

"Kelly, you've been bragging all day, aren't you tired?"

When Owen heard this, he glared at Bai Yi, then turned gloomy and said nothing.

Soon after, he quarreled with Bai Yi again, and Bai Yi would tease him.

The two teams slowly accumulated points like this.

In the sixth minute of the first quarter, the Timberwolves finally got a three-pointer, which was a random shot by an old man.

The Cavaliers only had six points at this time.

The two teams scored a total of nine points in the first half of the quarter, which was unbeatable.

The DJ at the scene was very depressed, "Is this our summer league finals? This is too bad."

"Is such a competition still necessary? I'm really speechless."

The referee also had opinions. After all, such a score in the final was really embarrassing.

Then the referees started blowing their whistles like crazy.

If there are more whistles, there will naturally be more free throws.

If you miss the shot, you'll have to make free throws.

In fact, these rookies are terrible at free throw shooting, with a free throw shooting rate of about 60%.

But at least I can get points.

At the end of the first quarter, Timberwolves 20:23 Cavaliers.

That's right, the two teams scored 34 points in the second half.

Twenty-four of those points were scored from free throws.

The referee blew his whistle and finally raised the total score to forty points.

It's really not easy.

The Cavaliers and Timberwolves are very satisfied with the result of the team doctor.

The Cavaliers feel they are ahead, while the Timberwolves feel they are not far behind and they still have a chance to make a comeback.
