The opening three-pointer in basketball

One after another, some fans couldn't stand it and got up and left Toyota Center.

Before the second quarter was over, there were only about 8,000 fans left at Toyota Center.

McHale then shouted to the players on the court, telling them to stop double-teaming Bai Yi and just defend one-on-one.

Lin Shuhao was responsible for defending Bai Yi, and he was very surprised.

No more double-teaming?

Aren't you afraid of a three-pointer?

Bai Yi was also a little surprised.

But it doesn't matter. The Rockets no longer double-team him, and now Billis and Rubio have no chance.

Of course it's not possible to rely on these people, so he can shoot three-pointers by himself.

It's just that this time I don't need the full-court three-point skill.

His long-range shooting value is 68%, which is actually not high.

But the problem is, besides three-pointers, he also has other skills.

"Bang!"

Bai Yi unexpectedly missed the first ball.

"puff!"

But just when McHale was overjoyed, Bai Yi shot another three-pointer.

The ball went in and hit the net.

In the following time, Bai Yiyou shot two three-pointers, one went in and the other hit the frame.

In this way, he scored a total of 36 points in the first half.

Because of their previous lead, the Timberwolves opened the point difference to 24 points.

It should be stable.

Bai Yi felt a little relieved. Although he didn't reach thirty points, he still had other trump cards that were useless.

In the third quarter, he scored three points for a while, then used an ankle finisher to try to open the point difference to 35 points.

In this case, during garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves should be able to lead by 20 points, and he will be able to complete the system task.

In the home team's lounge, McHale was pouring chicken soup. All the players he talked about were excited, and finally said: "In the second quarter, Bai didn't dare to shoot three-pointers. Later, we defended one-on-one. He only made a few shots and only scored."

Two three-pointers."

"God is fair, he can't always help Bai, understand? Guys, our chance is here."

"Bai's three-pointers will only get worse. He won't be like in the first quarter. We can chase points."

When the Rockets players heard this, they all shouted, saying that they would complete a huge reversal in the second half.

The videographer captured their shouting, and the video was sent to TNT. O'Neal laughed, "It seems like the Rockets still think they can win."

"Yes, the Rockets are still the same as before. They are a Texas team and are very resilient."

Barkley still expressed his support for the Rockets, "I think they have hope."

Kenny Smith shook his head, "Don't fantasize. It's impossible. Bai doesn't look like a rookie at all. He is very experienced. Such a player must have some tricks up his sleeve."

In the second quarter, Bai Yi's three-point shooting percentage dropped, and he chose to share the ball when double-teamed.

This tactic made Kenny Smith and O'Neal very satisfied.

They think Bai Yi is a rookie who plays with brains.

Barkley smiled and said, "Then let's just watch. Although he is very mature, he can't change the fact that his three-point touch is declining."

"Without three-pointers, without Love, and the Rockets not double-teaming, the rest of the Timberwolves can't score points at all."

…

In the home team lounge at Houston's Toyota Center, despite leading by 24 points, everyone was still a little worried.

Just like the last few minutes of the second quarter, when the Rockets don't double-team, no one except Bai Yi can do anything.

But Baiyi's feel has also declined.

What to do next?

Rubio was very calm and inexplicably calm when he saw Bai Yi.

Maybe this is the role of a team leader.

Seeing this, other people also became inexplicably calm.

Soon after, players from both teams returned to the court together.

Lin Shuhao was still responsible for defending Bai Yi. Rubio held the ball through half court and then passed the ball to Bai Yi.

"Man, don't shoot in the second half."

Lin Shuhao was really scared. Even if Bai Yi failed to make a shot, he would still be scared.

It's so exciting.

Bai Yi smiled slightly, "Let's have a meal together after the game."

Lin Shuhao is of Chinese descent. Although his Mandarin is not standard, he is still a compatriot, so there is no problem in eating.

Lin Shuhao was slightly startled.

At this moment, Bai Yi jumped up, activated the full-court three-point skill, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and flew into the net.

The ball went in again.

The three-point shooting percentage that was promised dropped, the three-pointers that were promised were no longer good, and the feel was no longer there.

What's going on?

McHale was stunned, and then he reacted and shouted to Shuhao Lin, "Don't be nervous, it's just a lucky ball."

He didn't believe that Bai Yi, a rookie, could adjust his touch just by relying on fifteen minutes in the middle.

Lin Shuhao nodded, he thought it should be the same.

A moment later, Bai Yi once again held the ball and stood in front of the three-point line, then took a step back and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and landed accurately in the basket again.

"puff!"

The crisp sound of brushing the screen sounded.

Lin Shuhao rubbed his eyes, he felt that this was not real, this was a dream.

But the numbers on the scoreboard clearly changed, and the Timberwolves' lead expanded.

Bai Yi can still score three points, and he can still score.

O'Neal kept exclaiming, "Oh, Bai, he can also shoot three-pointers. The Rockets are in a dilemma. Should they continue to bet on Bai's decline in three-point shooting, or choose to double-team?"

McHale chose to continue to bet on Baiyi's declining hand.

"Bang!"

Bai Yi really didn't score the next three-pointer.

McHale secretly clenched his fists, knowing that Baiyi's two three-pointers just now were all lucky shots.

"puff!"

"puff!"

The crisp sound of brushing the screen sounded again.

He has already scored fifteen three-pointers, and one more will equal his own record.

Of course, that's it. The total three-point consumption was too much, and Bai Yi was a little tired and panicked.

McHale didn't know this. The score difference between the two teams had reached 30 points, and he was desperate.

He didn't know how to arrange it to restrain Bai Yi.

He thought for a moment, then called a timeout, waited for the players to gather, and with a grimace asked Lin Shuhao and Lowry to double-team again. Once the two players could no longer double-team, he would ask the nearest player to step forward and attack.

Lin Shuhao was also desperate. He thought he had a chance in the second half, but ended up scoring 50 points.

They have no hope at all.

Lori was also very helpless.

Without Love, the Timberwolves still beat them to death with just a rookie like Bai Yi.

Now the score difference has reached more than 30 points.

It's really embarrassing.

It's impossible to win, don't lose forty points, that's just luck.

Morris is probably the only person in the Rockets who is not pessimistic. He has a sullen face and a sneer.

Bai Yi is a rookie, and he is also a rookie.

Bai Yi now scored 48 points, and he only scored eight points.

But he was still unconvinced, and he planned to have a male-to-male battle with Bai Yi.
