The opening three-pointer in basketball

"In the fourth battle between the Thunder and the Timberwolves, who will win between Bai and Adu?" - "The New York Times"

"At the end of the season, the mvp competition becomes more and more intense. It is said that the difference in votes between the top few is very small, and every game is crucial." - "nba online"

"TNT, ESPN, and Fox Sports will broadcast the Thunder-Timberwolves game nationwide." - "Los Angeles Post"

"Incredible, Bai's average points per game have increased again, and he is fifteen points ahead of second-place Durant." - "Sports Today"

"Hahahaha, Durant said he is not happy in the Thunder, but he will go all out." - "Ohio Daily"

"Westbrook said that he did not enter the mvp ranking. This list is unfair." - "News Today"

The next round is the game between the Timberwolves and the Thunder, and this game will be played at the Timberwolves' home court.

The second in the league will play against the fifth in the conference, and the second in the Western Conference will play against the third in the Western Conference. This game is undoubtedly very important.

Many media plans to broadcast live across the United States.

TNT, Barkley, O'Neal, and Kenny Smith had already started discussing it an hour before the game started.

O'Neal smiled and said: "The two teams have played three games before, the Timberwolves 1:2 Thunder. Previous results showed that the Timberwolves were at a disadvantage, but I am more optimistic about the Timberwolves in this game."

"Because this is the home court of the Timberwolves, and at such a critical moment, I believe the Timberwolves will not show mercy."

"Another point is that after Bai's game with the Cavaliers, his three-point shooting percentage was higher, and he has improved again. Although Durant's recent three-point shooting percentage has also improved, it is not comparable to Bai's."

Barkley nodded, "What you said makes sense, but man, I don't really agree with your point of view. I think the Thunder will teach the Timberwolves a lesson in this game."

"The Thunder are very strong. They are not a weak team. Now they are third in the Western Conference. Later, the Timberwolves won five games, although it is difficult to catch up with the Timberwolves."

"But it's obvious that the Thunder are not giving up. These two teams are likely to meet again in the second round of the playoffs."

"Winning now is very important for them."

"I believe the Thunder will teach the Timberwolves a lesson. In fact, Bai is still a rookie. They will encounter strong teams every few days during this period. He has performed very well before."

"But I think there is a tipping point here. One day he will not be able to take it anymore and he will explode."

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes at Barkley, "You don't like Bai Bai, but I am very optimistic about him. Wait for him, he will surprise you."

Not only the TNT trio, many people are talking about this matter in many sports forums and sports video live broadcast platforms.

Some fans are optimistic about the Timberwolves, some fans are optimistic about the Thunder, you name it.

And at the Minnesota Target Center.

In the visiting team's lounge, Brooks was explaining techniques and tactics.

Lao Bu's tactical level is very average. His greatest advantage is that he is open-minded and caring for his players.

When he loses, he usually takes the blame and never blames the players.

He always puts the problem on himself.

Under such circumstances, the players prefer Lao Bu.

But Adu is an exception. He feels that Lao Bu is too soft-hearted and will not correct Westbrook's messy mistakes.

This is condoning Westbrook.

At this time, Brooks arranged the skills and tactics, but did not mention Westbrook at all, and did not say that Westbrook should defend with all his strength.

Adu sat aside and listened with a cold face, very speechless.

Finally he couldn't stand it anymore. When Brooks finished speaking, he pulled off the towel and revealed a serious face.

"Coach, we should strengthen our defense, especially the dialogue restrictions, which must be in place. Otherwise, it will be impossible for us to compete with the Timberwolves."

Adu didn't say anything about Westbrook, but the people present were not fools. When the time comes to defend Bai Yi, Westbrook must be the main force.

He is fast and has good physical fitness.

Such a person would have been the most suitable candidate to defend Bai Yi, but Westbrook's defense was confused and his enthusiasm was not good.

Brooks glanced at Westbrook, smiled and nodded, "Adu is right. On the field, our defense must be very focused and we must not make any mistakes."

"Be highly motivated and constantly disrupt Bai."

Old Boo still didn't mention Westbrook, he didn't want to single out Westbrook.

He was afraid that Westbrook would become angry and cause dissatisfaction from the management.

After all, Westbrook is the first NBA player selected by the Thunder in the draft, and he has a different meaning in the Thunder.

Adu naturally heard what Brooks said and felt a little disappointed. He hoped that Brooks would tell Westbrook directly and put pressure on Westbrook.

Don't pretend you didn't hear it.

There seems to be no hope now.

Adu still knows Westbrook very well. This man is shameless and shameless. If you don't tell him, he will pretend he didn't hear you.

He couldn't help but feel very unhappy when he thought about the significance of this game to him, but he was also unwilling to break up with Westbrook.

The locker room had a strange atmosphere.

Everyone was silent. Everyone knew that the team leader was dissatisfied with the second player who had the support of the management.

No one wants to get involved, so it's better to pretend they didn't see it, so as not to bring disaster to the fish in the pond.

Durant closed his eyes, but he couldn't help but think of the game.

He finally couldn't help but said to Westbrook: "Man, Bai's defense is very important. You have to follow him all the time."

When Wei Shao heard this, he glared at Adu.

Do you need to say this? I know it even if you don’t tell me. Don’t you think I won’t defend myself seriously?

Are you questioning my determination to play?

Are you questioning my playing attitude?

Although he didn't say anything, Westbrook looked very unhappy.

He curled his lips and said, "I know."

Durant felt even more unhappy when he saw Westbrook's attitude. He didn't know if Westbrook was a fool.

He is obviously second in the standings, and his shooting percentage is obviously higher and more stable. You can tell by just looking at the data table.

Why is Westbrook unwilling to admit it?

Why is Westbrook unwilling to unite and play well for the team to win?

Adu really couldn't understand, he shook his head speechlessly.

Then he turned around and covered himself with a towel again, not bothering to pay attention to Westbrook.

Westbrook naturally also paid attention to Adu's expression. He sneered in his heart, ah Gambling didn't want to talk to him, why was he too lazy to talk to Adu?

He is the team's point guard and the team's organizer, why should he listen to Adu?

He is the brains of the team.

Adu, don't be ignorant of good and evil. As for this Baiyi, he will defeat it with all his strength.

Although Bai Yi's statistics are very strong, and his scoring average is almost twice that of Westbrook, he does not feel that he is weaker than Bai Yi.

He thinks those who shoot three-pointers are cowards, and a true warrior should hit the rim.
