The opening three-pointer in basketball

"Oh, Westbrook is so uncool. He is not in good condition today, and he is completely led by the nose."

O'Neill looked at the big screen and shook his head speechlessly.

Barkley chuckled, "That's not what you said when the game just started. You said Westbrook was in good shape today. Why is he not in good shape now?"

"Admit it, man, Westbrook is just not as good as Bai, his dribbling is not as smooth and skillful as Bai's, he can't change direction, he can only walk in a straight line."

"When he encounters slower players, he can crush them."

"But when encountering Bai, as long as Bai keeps up with Westbrook in the first step, he can disrupt his offensive rhythm. If there is another person behind him to block it, Westbrook will have nothing to do."

Barkley, this is the truth. In fact, the best way for the league to defend Iverson is not to double-team, but to play one behind the other.

The person in front is responsible for the delay. As long as he blocks, bumps into Iverson and disrupts his offensive rhythm, the person behind will have a high probability of stopping him on one-on-one defense.

The same applies to defending Westbrook and Rose. There is a delay, otherwise Westbrook and Rose will be able to limit most of their impact if they rush forward.

When Reggie was defending before, Reggie couldn't keep up with the first step. Westbrook was getting faster and faster, and it was difficult to defend later.

But Bai Yi was able to keep up with Westbrook's first step, and the collision disrupted Westbrook's offensive rhythm, and Westbrook's speed slowed down immediately.

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes at Barkley. He felt that the fat man should not bring up such a thing. Although it was a fact, there was no need to say it directly.

On the court, it was the Thunder's turn to attack again. Parkinson held the ball and Westbrook raised his hand for the ball again.

Parkinson was a little unhappy.

Although Westbrook is one of the two bosses, if you can't score any points except free throws, why would you give the ball to you?

However, Westbrook completely ignored the feelings of others and continued to raise his hand.

Parkinson was helpless. He didn't want to be targeted by Westbrook, so he could only pass the ball to Westbrook.

The fans at the scene already didn't quite believe Westbrook at this time.

No one cheered.

Westbrook patted the ball and quietly rushed towards Bai Yi.

This time he plans to use his zombie jump shot.

Then he suddenly stood up and raised his elbows.

Bai Yi followed.

Westbrook reached the three-point line, pushed Bai Yi with his elbow to open up the space, then stopped suddenly, jumped up, tensed his whole body, and then threw the basketball.

His movements looked very stiff.

This is Westbrook's famous zombie jumper, with a hit rate of about 40%.

In fact, this shooting rate is not good at all. Durant's mid-range shooting rate is 51%.

For example, Curry and Harden also have a mid-range percentage of 45 or 6.

However, Westbrook's other scoring methods are too unreliable, so it seems that the zombie jumper is not bad.

The basketball flew up, crossed a flat curve, and hit the basket hard with a bang.

Bai Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Jian smiled at himself in vain, feeling angry in his heart.

"Boy, you don't have any respect for a senior."

Bai Yi rolled his eyes at Westbrook, "You can watch me shoot later."

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, and Reggie passed the ball to Bai Yi.

Just like before, only Westbrook stepped forward to defend.

He was still thinking about his bad intentions.

When Bai Yi catches the ball, Westbrook is about two meters away from him, which is a distance to prevent a breakthrough.

Bai Yi's temporary skills have arrived.

He smiled, then started a full three-pointer, and then raised his hand to shoot the basketball.

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

The ball went in, a beautiful three-pointer.

Westbrook widened his eyes and looked at Bai Yi in disbelief.

He didn't expect Bai Yi's three points to come as soon as he said he would. This was too accurate.

Thinking of the zombie jumper he had just made, he was a little confused for the first time, whether he was really not as good as Bai Yi.

But Westbrook has always been a confident person.

He recovered quickly.

Then he asked his teammates for the ball again.

Durant was about to hit one, but Westbrook came to ask for the ball. He thought about it and passed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook then caught the ball, then suddenly accelerated, just like before, using his hands to deflect Bai Yi, and finally stopped for a jumper.

He jumped very high, but the arc was very flat. The basketball fell, and with a bang, it hit the basket hard again.

Pekovic jumped up and passed the ball to Reggie outside, who quickly came down.

Parkinson followed quickly.

Reggie turned back to Bai Yi who was following up. Bai Yi caught the ball without adjusting at all and directly raised his hand for a three-pointer.

Westbrook followed Bai Yi, and when Bai Yi jumped up, he also jumped up. He reached out and hit the basketball hard.

But Bai Yi shot the basket too fast. Westbrook tried his best, but still couldn't keep up with Bai Yi's speed.

The basketball flew up, passed Westbrook's fingertips, drew an arc, and flew into the net.

The ball went in, another beautiful three-pointer.

The point difference between the two teams became even wider, heading towards twenty points.

You must know that in the previous two games between the Timberwolves and the Thunder, the Thunder dominated the Timberwolves from beginning to end.

Even though Brooks was very fond of Westbrook, he had to call a timeout at this time.

When the players came down, Brooks weighed his tone and whispered: "Westbrook, take a break and let Harden play."

Harden jumped up and clapped his hands happily.

When the other players heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to play with a reckless guy like Westbrook. What's more important is that Westbrook himself doesn't even have the slightest awareness.

He doesn't know how to correct it.

Now the score difference is approaching 20 points, and Brooks finally knows to make a substitution.

Whether it's Durant, Parkinson, or Sefolosha, they all feel that as long as Westbrook doesn't mess around, they still have a chance to win.

Westbrook felt the different emotions of everyone, and he felt ashamed and annoyed.

He felt that his teammates looked down on him and were unwilling to give him a chance.

He lowered his head and didn't want to look at anyone else.

But after a moment, he couldn't help but look up at Bai Yi.

His zombie jump shot comes and goes, with a hit rate of about 40%.

And Bai Yi's three-pointers can actually hit about 70%.

It's simply terrifying.

His game this time was incomparable to Bai Yi's rim-rushing, and even more incomparable to his shooting.

He was very angry.

In his heart, he is the number one point guard in the Western Conference, but let alone Paul, he can't even compare to Bai Yi, a rookie.

"How did that happen?"

"It must be that I am not in good condition this game, otherwise, I will definitely be able to defeat him easily, just like the two previous matches."

Westbrook thought of the two previous matches.

His confidence suddenly returned, and he felt that as long as he returned to form, he could still easily crush Bai Yi.

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal said with emotion: "Although Bai is a rookie, he plays calmly and calmly. Westbrook should learn from Bai."

"Otherwise, given Bai's age, Westbrook may never be able to surpass Bai."
