The opening three-pointer in basketball

The boss's office is quiet, no one dares to speak loudly outside.

Even those who drank coffee quietly left.

The faint aroma of coffee in the air also disappeared.

Connelly was very calm and stated his views.

He finally added: "Popovich has always been the most cunning person in the league. How could he be willing to give us good players and then let us just send out a rookie?"

"The reason why he is willing to replace it is because Bai's value is too great."

"He is definitely a cornerstone player. He can lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs like Garnett."

The former Timberwolves, under the leadership of Garnett, entered the playoffs consecutively, and he also won the regular season MVP.

It's a pity that he was never able to win the championship, and in the end Garnett left.

After hearing Connelly's words, Tyron Green was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, you are more professional in this area. Since you don't approve, then I will reject the Spurs."

Connelly couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

At this time, Telengler said: "The Clippers owner wanted Bai, and then he gave me a project with a profit of 100 million."

"Do you think Bai is worth 100 million?"

Telengrad has a net worth of only 2.9 billion, and a project with a profit of 100 million is actually very tempting to him.

Clippers owner Ballmer is the second boss of Microsoft and is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

He is a world-class super rich man.

For a RMB 100 million project, others may be happy about it.

But Ballmer really doesn't have to. He has always wanted a basketball team of his own.

He originally wanted to buy the Lakers, but the Lakers' Buss family was not happy.

He bought the Clippers, and then continued to introduce good players and form super teams.

But he just can't win the championship.

This makes Ballmer very depressed.

Bai Yi can shoot long three-pointers, and his ability to create space is among the best in the league.

Ballmer also asked Clippers coach De Nagro and the league's on-court tactician Paul for their opinions.

Both of these people admired Bai Yi very much.

This made Ballmer suddenly remember Bai Yi, and he planned to make a trade with the Timberwolves.

Connelly took a breath of air and had to say that Ballmer was really too proud.

No wonder this guy is the second boss of Microsoft.

But even if he is the richest owner in the league, he will still refuse if he should.

After all, it depends on whether the Timberwolves can rise again.

More importantly, with Bai Yi, the Timberwolves will definitely make more money than if they sold Bai Yi.

Sold Baiyi for only 100 million US dollars.

As for leaving Bai Yi, once it is announced, China's sponsorship contract will far exceed 100 million.

Connelly explained his thinking.

Telengler was a little skeptical, "Chinese companies... are they really so willing to give money?"

"I'm absolutely willing to give it up. They will still be scrambling for sponsorship when the time comes."

Telengler didn't quite understand, but he was willing to give Connelly a chance to prove what he said.

He plans to look at it another year to see what the gains are this season.

…

In a bar next to Minnesota Tech, a young man and a middle-aged man were sitting across from each other.

This young man's name is Jerry. He is a student at the Polytechnic University. He is now a sophomore and it is time to play.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him is named Smith. He is Jerry's uncle and the owner of this bar.

Smith half-squinted his eyes, looking lazy and contented.

Jerry curled his lips and said, "Uncle, buy me a ticket. I want to watch the game between the Timberwolves and the Pacers."

The Timberwolves' second round game this season is still an away game, and the third round game is at home.

The opponent is the Pacers.

There is no phone booking or online ticket purchase in the United States. To buy a game ticket at this time, you just have to queue up honestly.

Of course, some people with connections don't need to queue, and can also buy some internal tickets at the front.

Smith has such a relationship, it is very easy for him to buy game tickets.

But Smith didn't reply, he still half-closed his eyes.

After a while, when Jerry became impatient, Smith said: "There is nothing to watch in a game that is bound to be lost. You have this time, so why not study hard?"

"A must-lose game? Uncle, haven't you read the recent news reports? We selected a super rookie. He is better than Irving. He should be the No. 1 pick this year. In the last game, he got 40

Four points, two records broken."

When Jerry mentioned Bai Yi, his eyes shone, even though he had only watched Bai Yi play on TV.

But he is now a loyal fan of Baiyi.

Smith sneered, "You have forgotten that from last season to now, Target Center has lost twelve games in regular competitions."

The Timberwolves won just eighteen games last season.

Later in the season, they even lost 12 consecutive games at home.

I have to say that the Timberwolves really do not live up to expectations.

This is a fact. Jerry can't refute it, but he is still unconvinced, "That's the old almanac."

Smith chuckled, "And Bai, who you like, he was indeed very good in the first game, but it was also because the league teams were not familiar with him. Later league teams specifically targeted him, so he was not so comfortable."

"I boldly predict that he will not score more than 30 points in the second game."

The Timberwolves' opponent in the second game was the Jazz, and it was an away game.

The Jazz's home court is located in a high-pressure and high-altitude place, where the air pressure is low and the gaps are thin. It will be very uncomfortable for players who are not used to it.

In addition, the fans in Salt Lake City are also very crazy, and they have been since the Jordan era.

Their ability to swear is very strong.

It is precisely for these two reasons that the Jazz's home stadium, Energy Solutions Arena, is known as the most terrifying away game in the league.

To be honest, let alone a rookie, even if a league superstar goes to the Jazz home court, there is no guarantee that he can score 30 points.

But even though Smith was telling the truth, Jerry was still very unhappy. This was the Timberwolves' first home game of the season.

How could you miss it?

Smith continued: "And our home opponent, the Pacers, is not a weak team. They made the playoffs last season."

The Pacers have never been a weak team. Although this team does not have any big-name stars, their overall quality is excellent.

And after experiencing last season's playoff defeat, the Pacers introduced All-Star big man David West in the new season.

In the first round of the new season, they also defeated the powerful Celtics team with the Big Three.

The Pacers showed very strong strength.

Smith's words don't sound wrong either.

When Jerry heard this, he rolled his eyes at Smith and said, "Uncle, since the team may lose, we have to go over and encourage the players."

"You weren't like this before?"

"Before Bai was not here, we had no hope. Now that Bai is here, I feel there is hope."
