The opening three-pointer in basketball

"boom!"

Bai Yi finally struck the iron.

"puff!"

"puff!"

But soon he hit two more three-pointers.

"boom!"

Strike the iron again.

"puff!"

Another hollow came.

Bai Yi shot 13 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored nine.

Including free throws, he scored 30 points in a single quarter.

Under his leadership, the Timberwolves led the Rockets 42:22, leading by 20 points.

Of course, the consumption is also very high. Except for a few shots that were caused by the opponent's careless defense, the other shots were made by running in vain, throwing away the defensive players, and then stopping for jump shots.

This consumes a lot of his physical and mental energy.

Bai Yi's durability is now 90%. Under normal circumstances before, he could only shoot 20 or more three-pointers with his right hand.

But he ran too fiercely just now and consumed too much physical energy, which inevitably affected his hit rate. He probably could only do this in this game. If he has to do it again in the future, it will only be a few times.

He plans to continue running in the second quarter, but will not shoot three-pointers. He will see how his teammates feel before making plans.

McHale didn't look good. He didn't expect Bai Yi to score thirty points in the first quarter.

Bai Yi, a rookie, was nothing like him. He kept scoring three-pointers.

Double-teaming is useless, he just stops and shoots jump shots at every turn, and the defensive players can't keep up.

Lowry accidentally bumped into Bai Yi several times, resulting in a three-plus-one hit.

If the referee hadn't favored the Rockets, Lowry would have picked up four or five fouls in the first quarter, and he wouldn't have had to play in the rest of the game.

Of course, Lao Mai didn't know that Bai Yi was planning to take a rest.

He shouted to the players: "Next we have to increase our defensive intensity. If Lowry and Lin don't keep up, the rest of you, whoever is closer to Bai, will rush to defend. Do you understand?"

The players nodded one after another, even Morris, who had always looked at Baiyi with displeasure, nodded with a cold face.

"We are now 20 points behind, but it is not without hope. As long as we kill Bai, everyone else is weak, and we can still come back and win the game."

McHale then poured chicken soup.

This somewhat improved the morale of these tired men.

On the other side, Adelman was also feeding the players chicken soup, asking them to defend desperately, asking them not to skimp on physical fitness, and asking them to unite around Bai Yi.

Adelman doesn't need reminding of that last point.

The Timberwolves were able to lead by twenty points in the first quarter, which is a reflection of Bai Yi's strength.

Even without Love, he can carry the Timberwolves forward.

This shows that understanding is the true core of the Timberwolves.

Rubio looked at Bai Yi with admiration, "Bai, how do you want to play in the second quarter?"

Others also looked over.

"I will pass the ball in the second quarter, and everyone will try their best to hit the basket."

Bai Yi then explained, "Both Scola and Morris have average speed. When two people are good against each other, we try to beat them with speed."

Bai Yi plans to rest in the second quarter. If Love is here, the Timberwolves may be able to compete with their opponents in shooting.

But Love is not here, so it is unrealistic to count on Rubio and Billis.

Then the safest way is to break the frame.

Scola and Morris were both good against each other, and their defense was thorough and precise. The only shortcoming was that they were a little slower.

At that time, try to attract these two inside and outside defenders, and then go down to grab points.

The players nodded one after another, they were really convinced at this moment.

What is the core, what is the trump card, this is it.

Bai Yi then thought of his own pass.

His passing attributes are only 60 percent.

He plans to spend ten achievement points to improve ten points.

After a while, he turned on the system and then improved his passing attributes.

He still has 71 achievement points, but after spending 10 points, he only has 61 points.

The passing value increased to 70, and Bai Yi immediately felt that his eyes seemed brighter and his vision improved a lot.

Passing ability 70, although it is not the same as those of professional point guards, it should be at least barely enough.

After a while, the players from both teams returned to the court.

The Timberwolves had the ball, and it was Rubio who dribbled the ball through the half. He helped Bai Yi share the physical exertion.

After halftime, Rubio tried to hand the ball over to Bai Yi.

In fact, before Rubio came over, Bai Yi had already started running. Lowry and Lin Shuhao looked helpless, but they could only run along.

They were really afraid that Bai Yi would shoot another three-pointer.

Thirty points in a single quarter. If we didn't defend, we would have scored 60 points in the first half.

Then they will make headlines tomorrow and be beaten by rookies. They will never be able to raise their heads in the league in the future.

Bai Yi ran around with Lowry and Lin Shuhao, easily disrupting the Rockets' defensive lineup.

He shook off the two men, and Morris thought of McHale's words and hurriedly rushed over.

Bliss quickly came down from the open position, Baiyi base passed the ball, and Bliss received the ball and scored an easy layup.

McHale paused for a moment, and a look of horror gradually appeared in his eyes.

Because Love is missing, he feels that as long as Bai Yi is strangled to death, the Timberwolves will have to rest.

But if Bai Yi is willing to share the ball, then with the current defensive situation, the Timberwolves players will have a lot of open opportunities.

Players can get a lot of scoring opportunities, so it will be difficult.

Even Bai Yi Biao can't stop him.

With Bai Yi going crazy and other role players also trying to score, wouldn't it be even harder to defend?

McHale couldn't help but look at Bai Yi, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Bai Yi is a rookie, and at this age he is full of energy and only has eyes for the basket.

But he didn't expect Bai Yi to calmly pass the ball to his teammates without rushing for three-pointers when his three-point shooting percentage was so high.

He's really too mature, he doesn't look like a rookie at all, he looks like a mature superstar.

O'Neal was also amazed, "Oh, Bai didn't force the ball. He shared the ball. It was really not easy. I thought he would force the ball, but I didn't expect him to be willing to share the ball."

"He's much calmer than Kobe."

If his teammates were Ci Shiping, Ariza, and Gasol, Kobe would be willing to share the ball, but if it weren't for these good players, he wouldn't trust his teammates most of the time.

Bai Yi's teammates are definitely among the worst in the league right now.

But Bai Yi was still willing to share the ball, which amazed O'Neal.

In fact, the more rookie players are, the more they need to be encouraged instead of ignored.

Next, Bai Yi was just like before, running constantly, but instead of shooting the basket himself, he attracted the defense and then distributed the ball.

Billis, Johnson, and Rubio all got many opportunities to score at the basket.

Not only was their point difference not narrowed by the Rockets, it was actually widened by a few points.

At the eighth minute of the second quarter, the assistant coach whispered to McHale: "Man, Bai hasn't made a three-pointer in this quarter. Could it be that his touch is not good?"

McHale was stunned for a moment, then realized that this might be the case. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This rookie is really cunning."
