The opening three-pointer in basketball

"Ding, the system is temporarily tasked with giving a wonderful and refreshing performance to compatriots across the country, and will be rewarded with ten achievement points."

In the visiting team's lounge at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Bai Yi was arranging his shoelaces when he suddenly heard a system sound.

Today is New Year's Eve. For the Chinese people, today is probably the most important festival of the year.

Today is also the day when the Timberwolves challenge Los Angeles.

There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese living in Los Angeles. Today, Staples is also decorated with red satin lanterns, which looks full of New Year style.

Even if there are no system tasks, Bai Yi will perform well.

It can be regarded as a successful end to my year.

It can be regarded as sending New Year blessings to compatriots all over the world.

He smiled, then stood up, and took out the red envelope he had prepared a long time ago. There was not a lot of money in it, just ten thousand dollars.

He then handed out red envelopes to his teammates, coaching staff, and club staff.

"May you be happy and prosperous!"

"Happy New Year."

Reggie and Tucker were very excited. They even learned a sentence or two in Chinese. Their pronunciation was a little awkward, but they were very sincere.

A moment later, Bai Yi and his teammates entered the court with smiles on their faces.

"Oh, Bai Lai, he must like Staples very much."

"This is the holy land of basketball, Bai, come to Los Angeles, we welcome you."

The DJ shouted at the scene, and Lakers fans also gave warm applause.

Bai Yi smiled and waved, but did not respond.

At this time, Kobe strode over and came directly to Bai Yi, "Bai, do you like Los Angeles?"

Sunshine, beach, beauties, Hollywood.

Los Angeles is great to live in.

Bai Yi had no objection, "It's okay."

Kobe nodded, "Bai, let's make a bet. We will score better than the two of us alone. If you score higher than me, I will give you a sports car. If you score lower than me, you will be the winner after this contract ends."

, giving priority to coming to Los Angeles.”

Bai Yi signed a four-year contract. Four years later, Kobe was about to retire and was just in time to take over.

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Okay."

Kobe nodded and smiled, then turned and left.

O'Neal laughed loudly, "Based on my understanding of Kobe, he must have been provocative in the past."

Barkley nodded, "Maybe it's a bet, Kobe likes to do this."

At this time, the DJ on the scene shouted and told Bai Yi and Kobe about the bet.

O'Neal waved his fist, "The game will be much better to watch. That's what Kobe is like. He will definitely feel itchy when he sees a super scorer like Bai."

Barkley followed up and said: "Kobe is a super player who scored 81 points in a single game, but Bai is not simple either. He is still a rookie and now averages 44.6 points per game, 15 points ahead of second-place Durant.

point."

"The showdown between the two of them will definitely be exciting."

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes, "You two fat guys are just thinking about the duel between two people. Don't you think about the stakes?"

"If Bai wins, he will get a sports car."

"If he loses, priority will be given to the Lakers four years later. Kobe is paving the way for the future of the Lakers. Do you understand?"

"If Howard can really go to the Lakers, Howard and Bai will definitely be stronger than Kobe O'Neal, and the Lakers will establish a new dynasty."

Of course O'Neal will not be convinced, "This is not necessarily true. We are also very strong, okay? At least I am much better than Howard. Howard has no offensive ability, but I am different."

"Of course Bai may be better than Kobe. Comparing the two, their strengths should be about the same, but they can also build a dynasty."

Barkley smiled and said, "Yes, this is a very incredible thing. If it happens, there will be a super strong team in the league. I am actually looking forward to it."

The tnt trio is fantasizing, Lakers fans like it, but fans of other teams are naturally not happy.

Not only the Timberwolves, Spurs, Heat, and Celtics fans were unhappy, they all said that such a league would be much boring.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Bai Yi and Howard should be their own kings rather than teaming up together.

At Staples Arena, the substitutes of both teams have left the court, and only the main players remain.

Timberwolves starting lineup: Bai Yi, Pekovic, Reggie, Tucker, Morris Jr.

The Timberwolves are gradually using Tucker as their main force, because they don't need Love's offense, but they need Tucker's defense.

Love was the leader of the team last season, but now he is being substituted.

He has already started looking for a new home and hopes to trade.

Regarding this, the Timberwolves are happy to see success.

The Timberwolves are still the first team in the league standings. Even the top management is a fool. They can see that with Bai Yi, they don't need to worry about their offense at all. What really needs to be strengthened is their defense.

As long as the defense is in place, the team does not need to waste too much effort.

In this case, Baiyi has more energy to focus on offense, and they can defeat most opponents.

Lakers starting lineup: Kobe, Bynum, Gasol, Fisher, and Woldpeace.

The Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs early last season, and both Kobe and the team's top management were very dissatisfied.

After they let go of Odom in the summer, they brought in Kapono, the former league three-point champion, and white dunker McRoberts.

They also prepared to bring in Howard, but failed.

As a result, the Lakers didn't catch any big fish, but as long as Kobe is there, the Lakers are not a team that people will look down upon.

So far this season, the Lakers rank fourth in the Western Conference, behind the Timberwolves, Spurs, and Thunder.

Currently ranked above the Grizzlies and Clippers, the Lakers are generally very competitive.

The most outstanding thing about this Lakers team is their rich experience and sophistication.

Fisher, Gasol, and even Kobe are all seasoned players with a lot of clever ideas.

They often rely on experience to defeat their opponents.

Of course, this is not a panacea. The Lakers also have shortcomings, that is, they are too old.

Kobe Bryant, Fisher, Gasol, even Ci Shiping and Bynum are all in their thirties.

They can't withstand the big toss and the fast-paced games.

Therefore, the scenes between the Lakers and the Heat and the Thunder will be ugly.

The Timberwolves' player configuration is very young, and the Timberwolves' rhythm has always been relatively fast.

Adelman's idea before the game was to let the Timberwolves run and play fast, so that the Lakers' old men would be tired of dealing with it.

Of course the team members have no problem.

Bai Yi even wants to go as fast as possible, so that his shooting space will be larger.

Of course, no matter what, the game is played out.

Many teams know that the Lakers have many old men and need to play fast, but you may not really be able to lead the Lakers by the nose.

Otherwise, the Lakers would not be fourth in the Western Conference, with a winning rate of 66%.
