The opening three-pointer in basketball

The nba league is becoming more and more commercialized.

Not just working with spinach companies.

There's also summer league and preseason games.

Generally speaking, the preseason starts in early October, with each team playing four to five games.

Then it ends in mid-October, with a four-to-five-day break, and around October 20th, the NBA regular season officially begins.

Because preseason games do not count toward the standings, preseason results are not important.

The game looks more like an exhibition match. Usually the main players of the team just go up and warm up and play for ten or twenty minutes.

Popular teams such as the Lakers and Heat often go abroad to China, India, and European countries for preseason games to harvest money and expand the league's influence.

Naturally, the Timberwolves also have preseason games, and their opponents are the Spurs, Jazz, Bulls and Hornets.

Two Western Conference teams, two Eastern Conference teams, two home games and two away games.

Bai Yi naturally also participated. In these four games, he basically played 20 minutes in each game.

However, he did not show his full three-point ability. He hid his ability. He only shot ordinary three-point skills from outside the three-point line.

But having said that, now Bai Yi's three-pointers are amazing enough even if he doesn't use any skills.

Fast release speed, some weird release points, and smooth movements.

He knew right away he had the potential to be a great three-point shooter.

Although Rubio is now the point guard, he usually controls the ball for half the game.

But anyone who has watched the game knows that the real core of the Timberwolves' offense now is Bai Yi, who organizes the offense.

Baiyi's offensive organization is basically to score suddenly, or to attract double teams from outside the three-point line and then score the ball.

In fact, this is not a real organization.

Real masters of organization, such as Paul, can see through their opponents' defensive holes and use running passes to create comfortable scoring opportunities for their teammates.

It requires the ability to tear apart formations.

The masters in this area are Nash and Paul.

However, there have never been many alliances with such masters of organization.

The vast majority of point guards in the league today are actually good at scoring.

Westbrook, Harden, and even James, the point forward, break through to attract double teams and then distribute the ball.

These three people are already considered top experts in this field.

In fact, sudden separation is not a simple matter.

Breakthroughs usually occur at high speed, and there are defensive players nearby.

At this time, you have to pass the ball to your teammates accurately, which is very good.

Bai Yi's passing value is 60, which is just passed. Bai Yi plans to spend some achievement points to increase his passing value.

This is the only way to be a qualified core player.

In addition, Bai Yi's shooting percentage at the basket should also be improved, so that he can break through and attack the frame and score more stably.

Through the preseason, Bai Yi probably understood his own game methods.

First, he waits for opportunities outside the three-point line. With his various fancy three-point skills now, even if he doesn't use three-pointers in the whole game, his shooting rate will not be low.

When he creates an opportunity with a three-pointer, and the opponent is defending closely, he breaks through, attacks the basket, or distributes the ball.

So he needs to improve on passing and scoring at the basket.

After careful consideration, he definitely increased his passing rate from 60% to 65%.

Then increase the close shot from 55% to 60%.

In this way, ten achievement points were consumed, and his achievement points returned to ninety points.

…

The sun shines on the table through the glass window, and the square table reflects blue light.

Warm and comfortable.

The weather is getting cooler in Minnesota.

It snows here in December.

The sun is rarely out today, so Yang Qian and Liu Hong went out to drink coffee together.

When they were in China, neither of them had the habit of drinking coffee. When they came to the beautiful country, they found that the coffee here was cheap and delicious, and they gradually fell in love with drinking coffee.

The league's preseason has ended. The Timberwolves have a day off today. The players have three days of rest before training to officially prepare for the NBA regular season.

In the Timberwolves' four preseason games, the main players only played for 20 minutes, with two wins and two losses, which has little reference value.

However, judging from the team's starting lineup, it is still very gratifying.

Bai Yi is a rookie, but he is already the team's main starter and seems to be the core of the team's offense.

Basically, unless Bai Yi takes the initiative to let Rubio play, every offense will be dominated by Bai Yi.

Based on this alone, Bai Yi has actually set a record for Chinese players in the NBA.

There has never been a Chinese player who was the main starter or the core of the offense.

Although local media has questioned Bai Yi's use.

But as compatriots, Liu Hong and Yang Qian were still very happy.

Yang Qian took a sip of coffee and then asked: "Brother Liu, do you think Bai Yi can hold his own this time?"

Liu Hong pretended to think for a while, "I think it should be possible. At least this season, we don't have to worry about whether Bai Yi can play."

"The current state of the Timberwolves is obviously to cultivate Bai Yi, just like James and Durant in their rookie seasons. They are just for you to play with. You can play whatever you want. The results don't matter."

Liu Hongyue became more and more excited as he spoke, "A player like Bai Yi who has been trained as a core player since he first entered the league will become at least an All-Star level player once he grows up in the future."

All-star level players, that is, the top 30 in the league, can also be said to be the top 30 in the world basketball.

This honor has been achieved by no player in Asia before.

Moreover, the league's superstars have been trained as core players early on since ancient times. In this way, their scoring, defense, organization, and pressure resistance will be greatly tempered.

Liu Hong does not expect Bai Yi to become a superstar in the league, he hopes Bai Yi will become an All-Star player.

Yang Qian nodded and smiled, "Bai Yi performed so well, and we feel better here."

The two of them originally thought that they were sent to the beautiful country this time. If Bai Yi couldn't reconcile, they would probably have to return to the country in two or three months.

But I didn't expect that Bai Yi would now become the core of the Timberwolves' offense, so they could stay here for a year anyway.

Not only is the subsidy high, but you can also earn a lot of extra money.

Because those closest to the water come first, they can get a lot of first-hand information.

tv5, they can also leave some to post on their blog to attract fans.

The more fans and attention you have, the more money you will earn.

This is something they never dared to think about before.

Liu Hong pouted, "If Bai Yi can become an All-Star, I'm afraid that both of us will be replaced by others. There will be too many jealous people."

Yang Qian nodded, "What should we do? I feel that Bai Yi has a lot of astrology."

"What else can we do? After all, Bai Yi is also one of our compatriots. Of course, we hope that he will become more and more successful. Let alone an All-Star, a superstar is better."

"Superstar, I really can't think of that."
