The opening three-pointer in basketball

The Timberwolves' defense is terrible. Billis, Love, and Rubio are all cash machines.

Love and Billis are actually quite strong, but for some reason, their defense is just a wooden stub.

In this situation, it is easy for the opposing team to score.

Unless Baiyi breaks out with a three-pointer, the two teams will just go back and forth and it will be difficult to widen the point difference.

Tucker understands that the NBA does not need his scoring ability. When he goes to the Timberwolves, he still has to defend.

We need to help Bai Yi on the defensive end, so that Bai Yi doesn't have to spend too much energy and he will have more energy to attack.

With Bai Yi's offensive ability, if his teammates can defend him, they can widen the point difference.

Tucker is not afraid of defense, and he is not afraid of physical contact.

He is very optimistic about his assignment with the Timberwolves.

And for a player like Bai Yi, you can tell at a glance that he is a cornerstone player, and he might be able to win a championship at some point.

It would be really great if I could play basketball with Bai Yi.

Tucker became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

If it hadn't been for the dead of night, he would have roared loudly.

Timberwolf, Bai Yi, here I come.

…

When Bai Yi got home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Bai Yi did not train today. He took the day off because there was an overseas Chinese event in the local area.

Little did he know that the Timberwolves had undergone major changes.

That is, at 10 o'clock this morning, the Timberwolves traded with the Sixers, the Hornets, the Grizzlies, the Thunder, and an overseas club.

They produced Barea, Billis, Miller, Johnson, Webster, Ellington, and two million dollars.

Then we got Reggie, Tucker, Morris, and Douglas.

Six people were replaced by four, and they still had to pay $2 million.

More importantly, Morris is a rookie, he is not even the main player.

Such a player can actually be replaced by the Timberwolves' main players, which shows how weak the Timberwolves' original players are.

Except for Love, Rubio, and Pekovic, everyone else is of little significance.

Bai Yi just turned on the TV and then received a call from Connelly.

"Bai, we made a trade and brought in some excellent defensive players. Bai, we will definitely be stronger this season."

Bai Yi was a little confused, but since the team is willing to improve, this is naturally a good thing.

He nodded, "Okay, I understand."

A few moments later, Adelman also called and told Bai Yi that he would experiment with a new lineup starting tomorrow.

He found out that the new main lineup is Bai Yi, Reggie, and Morris, as well as Love and Pekovic.

Reggie is good offensively and defensively, and he was previously the backup for Westbrook in the Thunder.

However, Reggie was not very convinced by Westbrook, and he wanted to leave.

This is a combo guard. Compared with Rubio, he not only has better defense, but also has better offensive ability.

But Reggie sometimes gets upset.

Morris Jr. is a rookie like Bai Yi and can play small forward and power forward.

The offense is average, but he is young, has good physical fitness, and is good at defense.

Love and Tucker are still under consideration. Some games need to reuse Tucker, and some games need to use Love.

Tucker's defense is better, Love's offense is better, and there is almost no defense.

At the end, Adelman was particularly excited, "Bai, our goal this year is not just the playoffs, we also want to hit the Western Conference finals."

In fact, except for these starters, the rest of the Timberwolves' lineup is inconspicuous even in the Development League.

They still have big flaws.

But after all, Bai Yi was very happy with the reinforcements. He felt that maybe just like Adelman said, they would become stronger.

…

In a small villa in Minnesota, little Morris threw his salute aside, went to Ice Bear, took out a bottle of beer, and drank it.

A tall black brother opened the door and glanced at little Morris, "Cousin, let's go, let us celebrate you."

Morris Jr. was originally a substitute for the Rockets, but he might not be able to play stably.

But now it's the Timberwolves.

You must know that this season, the Timberwolves are in a much better situation than the Rockets.

The Timberwolves are now the number one team in the league standings. They just need to keep doing it. Even if they may not be number one in the standings in the end, the top few teams in the standings will always be fine.

The Rockets are now fourth from the bottom in the Western Conference. If they can't break out later, they are basically guaranteed to miss the playoffs.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely a good thing that Morris can play in the Timberwolves and has a high probability of starting.

Worth celebrating.

Little Morris nodded and went out with his cousin, and then a group of them drank and celebrated.

Two hours later, everyone was drinking more and more happily, but little Morris's face became more and more serious.

The cousin was puzzled, thinking that little Morris disliked them, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

In a beautiful country, except for second-generation players like Kobe Curry, the vast majority of players actually come from slums.

They have a group of brothers.

When they play ball, their brothers play next to them. If someone wants to bully them, their brothers will step forward to protect them.

And when they become famous, naturally they will be like this group of brothers.

Generally speaking, there are only three or five people, not a lot.

For the players, there is no problem at all.

This is what my cousin is to little Maurice.

Seeing that his cousin had misunderstood, little Morris hurriedly explained: "It has nothing to do with you. I'm just a little worried. I'm afraid Bai won't like me."

Little Morris is a very mean person, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

When I was with the Rockets, I often shouted at the Timberwolves and Bai Yi.

People who don't know think that the two people have a grudge, but in fact it's just little Morris's fault.

My cousin heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could eat and drink with him.

He just didn't care.

But now that the problem has arisen, let’s solve it.

"Cousin, Bai is no longer a rookie. He is now the core of the team and the ace player of the league's playoff team."

"He won't care about what you say, understand, don't be afraid."

Little Morris hesitated slightly, and after thinking about it, Bai Yi did not seem to beep at other people.

Although he doesn't talk much, he doesn't seem like a person he can't get along with.

"You said that now that I have arrived at the Timberwolves, should I visit him first?"

"No need to visit. I want a phone number first. Can you give him a call?"

Little Morris also thought it made sense, and then found Connelly and asked for Bai Yi's phone number.

He then dialed the phone nervously.

Bai Yi answered the phone and chatted with little Morris for a few words.

After a while, after hanging up the phone, Morris Jr. giggled and said, "Bai said my defense is great. He thinks very highly of me."

The cousin curled his lips and said, "I've told you before, they are football stars and they won't argue with you."

Little Morris nodded, and then felt a little emotional.

"Hell, Bai is already a star, and I, including Irving, are just rookies."

"Stop complaining and play hard with Bai. Maybe you can win a championship and your annual salary will definitely increase by then."
