The opening three-pointer in basketball

There were hundreds of people sitting together in an open-air bar provided for students at Minnesota Institute of Technology.

See Bai Yi shoot a three-pointer between three defenders.

Everyone opened their mouths nervously, then the basketball entered the frame and the ball went in.

The crowd couldn't help but cheered loudly.

The bar owner's name was Jeff. He raised his hands and shouted, "Guys, I'll buy you all a drink."

When the students heard this, they were so happy that they shouted one after another.

This bar is opened in the school, but the sound is just average.

Because the school has regulations, students cannot drink too much, and everyone has a limit.

So you can make money, but not much.

In order to save money, Jeff didn't even hire many employees. It was mainly him and his nephew who worked hard, and occasionally his wife would come over to help.

His wife Catherine came over today.

Catherine was using the computer to calculate this month's accounts, and found that they were almost the same as before, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

In a beautiful country, everything is cheap, but you also have to pay a lot of taxes.

Ordinary people earn two to three thousand US dollars a month, of which nearly 70 to 80% are used for taxes, utility bills, and previous loans.

Before wages are paid every month, very few people actually stay.

Catherine's neighbor is a Chinese.

This man was very friendly and shared a lot of Chinese savings ideas with Catherine.

Catherine deeply agrees and feels that people should indeed have savings so that they can have confidence in life.

But even though she also worked and her husband opened a bar, after a month, she couldn't save even $500.

This made Catherine a little disappointed.

At this time, I heard that Jeff was going to treat the students to drinks, and he suddenly lost two to three hundred dollars.

Catherine was very angry. She pulled Jeff to the back room, and then said angrily: "What are you doing?"

"We need to learn to save now and plan for the future. We still have children, we may get sick, and your parents are getting older."

"Why do you want a treat? That costs hundreds of dollars."

Jeff's mind is still filled with the scene where he just shot a three-pointer for no reason.

He came back to his senses at this time, and then said: "My dear, listen to me, we are going to send it out."

"Did you win the lottery?"

"Of course not. You know, my luck has always been average."

"Then you said you were going to post it, where could you post it?"

Jeff chuckled, and then said: "Dear, Timberwolves, the Timberwolves are up. They have a cornerstone player. As long as he has no serious injuries, the Timberwolves will definitely become a playoff team. There will be more information on every Timberwolves game day in the future.

Many fans come to our place to drink.”

Minnesota only has one professional team, the Timberwolves. They have no football team or rugby team, and Catherine still knows this.

But she also knew that since the handsome Wolf King Garnett left.

This team became a tank team and would not be able to do so for several years.

A lot of people in Minnesota know this, and they sometimes even use it as a joke.

"Are the Timberwolves really OK?"

"It's really okay. They have introduced a very powerful rookie. This person is a cornerstone player, just like James and Durant."

Catherine still couldn't understand, "So?"

"The Timberwolves have hope, and the fans are naturally even happier. There are more than 10,000 students here. During every game, a hundred students come to our place to drink and watch the game, and we can make a small fortune."

Only then did Catherine understand.

"Really? If that's really the case, that's indeed a very good thing."

"It's absolutely true. Now let's pray that Bai can lead the Timberwolves to rise."

Fans generally like to drink, whether they are football fans or basketball fans, they like to drink while watching games.

Therefore, when there are major competitions, local beer sales will generally increase a lot.

…

A white community in Minnesota.

In a small independent two-story building, a father and son were watching the game together.

When I saw Bai Yi hit a three-pointer in the circle surrounded by three people.

The son jumped up excitedly.

The father looked at his son carefully, then nodded with joy.

The father's name is Hanks, and his son's name is Jerry.

As early as ten years ago, Hanks divorced his ex-wife.

His son Jerry has been living with his ex-wife.

Hanks didn't really care at first. He felt that he could live a good life without anyone.

But as he grew older, he missed his son more and more.

Just a week ago, his ex-wife told him that she was going to Asia for a two-month business trip and asked him to take care of her son.

Hanks was so excited that he took Jerry home.

But because he had never taken care of his son before, Jerry and Hanks seemed very strange to each other.

Jerry is not a rebellious boy.

It's just that there is little communication after all, so the manager is a little embarrassed when the two of them get along.

But after Hanks' efforts to communicate, he learned that Jerry liked to watch basketball games.

No, the two father and son started watching Timberwolves games together.

They are all Minnesotans, so naturally they support the Timberwolves.

But after all, the Timberwolves couldn't hold up the wall before, so Hanks was still a little worried at first.

I'm afraid that if the Timberwolves lose miserably, Jerry will become negative and depressed.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves' new core, a rookie from China, is really impressive.

We won against the Kings and Jazz before, so that's nothing special.

But this time, facing a playoff team that had won two consecutive games, they were chasing after 25 points behind, and the point difference between the two teams was reduced to nine points.

This has to be exciting.

"Dad, look, Bai...he is so awesome, he is my idol."

When Hanks heard his son calling him dad, he felt ecstatic and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, he is the hero of our city. I will buy tickets for the next game and we will go to the Target Center to support him."

"Is it true? I heard that it's hard to buy game tickets now."

Hanks thought for a moment, knowing that Jerry was telling the truth. There must be a lot of fans who want to watch the game this time, and it will be difficult to buy tickets by then.

But he still said: "Don't worry, I will solve this problem."

Jerry was very happy and nodded repeatedly.

"Really? That's great. The whole class will envy me."

Hanks smiled, and then secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Bai Yi could continue to perform so well. One day, he and Jerry would buy season tickets, and he would take his son to watch every home game.

It would be fun for father and son to watch the game together.

Thinking of this, Hanks hopes that the Timberwolves players can continue to work hard, especially Bai Yi, who must rise and become an All-Star level player.
