The opening three-pointer in basketball

"Bah bang bang!"

Adelman clapped his hands and then told the players to have an intra-squad match.

The first team of old players from last season, new players such as Bai Yi and Rubio, and the first team of substitutes.

Intra-team competitions usually last for twenty minutes, with two halves lasting ten minutes each.

Bai Yi had heard about it a long time ago, but he didn't really care.

Adelman continued: "I will choose the starting players for the new season based on your status during this period."

As soon as he said this, many people looked over.

Barea suddenly said, "The loser should carry the bag of the winner for a month?"

In the past, rookies in the league, regardless of whether they were the No. 1 pick or No. 3 draft pick, had to help the veteran players.

Buying drinks and carrying bags are common things.

However, later, for the sake of its own image, the league implemented strict management and put an end to bullying of rookies.

When Barea said this, everyone thought Barea was targeting Bai Yi.

Barea realized that this sentence could easily be misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a matter of playing and getting a little more luck."

Ridnour nodded and expressed his approval.

Everyone then looked at Bai Yi, even Rubio looked over indifferently.

"Ding! The system has a temporary task, leading the substitute players to defeat the main starting team, and will be rewarded with ten achievement points."

Bai Yi paused slightly, but he didn't expect that there would be achievements in such a situation.

However, this task is not easy to complete.

After all, even if the Timberwolves are ranked last in two seasons, they are still NBA players no matter what.

If you place it in the CBA or in European leagues, you will definitely win the championship.

There is a level gap between the NBA and basketball from other countries.

Bai Yi could lead the college team to defeat the CBA team before.

That doesn't mean he can lead the bench to defeat the main starter.

But since there is a reward, it is impossible to let it go. At worst, he will lose the game. He helped the old team member carry the bag.

Besides, he also has the temporary skill Eye of the Eagle.

It is a good deal to exchange one Eagle's Eye for ten achievement points.

More importantly, they don't necessarily lose.

The Timberwolves' main starting team still has scoring ability, but its defense is extremely weak.

Barea, Ridnour, Love, and Billis are all big colanders.

Another point is that Bai Yi proved his scoring ability in a duel with Bliss.

But he has yet to prove his ability to lead a team.

A player can only brush up statistics, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Just like Love, who averaged 26 points per game last season.

But few people like him.

Who would take a second look at James Durant?

A truly convincing player is not only able to score points on his own, but also has the ability to lead the team to victory.

Bai Yi thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let's add some luck, but it's not interesting for a month. If you want to bet, just a season."

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

Rubio's smile became a little stiff.

He actually doesn't care whether he can win or not, but he doesn't want to carry someone else's bag for a season.

Several other substitutes also looked bad.

Barea and Ridnour immediately made noises and asked Rubio if the others couldn't afford it, saying that they were not as happy as Bai Yi, the younger brother.

After a stalemate for about two minutes, Rubio and the other three substitutes agreed.

After a while, players from both teams remained on the court.

Starting lineup: Love, Barea, Ridnour, Billis, and Pekovic.

Substitute lineup: Baiyi, Rubio, Randolph, Ellington, and Webster.

The last three substitutes averaged a little over six points per game, with Randolph at center, Ellington at small forward, and Webster at power forward.

The main starters are all big colanders, so naturally these three substitutes are also big colanders.

Bai Yi glanced at Rubio and whispered: "You will be in charge of the first half, and leave it to me in the second half."

After several days of training, Bai Yi knew that Rubio was still capable.

As a defender, Rubio has solid basic skills. Except for his poor defense, he should be in the middle of the league in other aspects.

Rubio nodded, he thought Bai Yi's proposal was fair.

A moment later, the whistle sounded, and Randolph and Pekovic jumped the ball together. Randolph was also 2.11 meters tall and weighed less than Pekovic.

But his ricochet is not as good as Pekovic's.

The basketball was taken by Pekovic, who then passed it to Ridnour.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Ridnour patted the basketball and came to Bai Yi.

He had seen Bai Yi duel with Bliss before, and he had to say that Bai Yi was very strong, but Ridnour felt that he was a better dribbler than Bliss, and Bai Yi could not easily steal the basketball from his hands.

After all, Bliss is 2.08 meters tall and his center of gravity is too high.

And Ridnour is only 1.88 meters tall.

He planned to try to see if he could break through Bai Yi.

After a few moves and finding the rhythm, Ridnour suddenly burst out and broke through to Bai Yi's left side.

Bai Yi immediately retreated and blocked Ridnor's path.

Ridnour took two steps forward and found that Bai Yi was still blocking him in front. He panicked and dribbled much slower.

Bai Yi saw this and rushed forward, snatching the basketball from Ridnour's hand, and then quickly made a layup.

Everyone looked at Bai Yi in shock.

As a defensive rookie, he is a super colander and averages countless breakthroughs per game.

People like Love, Ridnour, Barea and others rarely see Bai Yi like this in a season.

Keep up with the offensive player, block the forward path from beginning to end, and finally counterattack.

This is simply a myth.

For them, most of the time they are passed by in one step, so how can they defend like Bai Yi.

Human beings are always prone to be shocked by projects that they are not good at.

What's more important is that Bai Yi is just a rookie.

But the defense is better than them. Ridnour and Love are also a little ashamed.

Ridnour was still a little embarrassed. He didn't believe that Bai Yi, a rookie, could have such a stable defense.

He then held the ball and rushed toward Bai Yi again.

I'm taller than you, I'm faster than you, I'm more explosive than you, and my skills are better than yours.

Isn't it just a matter of discretion?

Bai Yi didn't understand why Ridnour was dribbling over again. He still stopped Ridnour this time, and then when the opponent's rhythm changed, he suddenly burst out and grabbed the basketball.

Another dragon, but this time the big guy is convinced that Baiyi's defense does have something.

At least not to say that they are a group of giant colanders that can touch porcelain.

Love was a bit embarrassed. Adelman was watching here. He was beaten twice in a row. It was so embarrassing.

"Ridenour, please cooperate with us below."

This means asking Ridnour to stop messing around and hand over the ball.

Ridnor's face turned red. He didn't expect this.

"Understood."
