The opening three-pointer in basketball

"mvp,mvp,mvp."

The fans' cheers were uniform and loud.

But Durant felt it was very harsh. He patted the basketball and walked forward slowly. Harden wanted to step forward to pick and roll him, but Durant waved his hand to ask Harden to get out of the way.

He dribbled to the midline, waved his hand, and asked his teammates to disperse.

Baiyi smiled and then walked over.

"Oh, Durant and Bai are facing each other. These two are the aces of their respective teams."

"Haha, let's see, who is stronger, Durant or Bai?"

The DJ at the scene shouted loudly.

Durant patted the ball and suddenly accelerated. He rushed directly to Bai Yi's right side, and Bai Yi hurriedly stepped forward to block it.

"Bang!"

The two collided, and Durant took a step back and threw the ball at the same time.

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

The ball went in.

That is to say, Durant has a soft touch and can hit such a ball.

The whistle sounded and the referee thought that Bai Yi had just committed a defensive foul and it was a two plus one.

Durant made a free throw.

He shook his fist vigorously, feeling very excited.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, Bai Yi pushed forward with the ball, and he still found Durant.

Everyone else voluntarily dispersed, leaving the two of them to fight alone.

Bai Yi then continuously exchanged dribbling with his left and right hands, then stepped back and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

Durant raised his right hand, but did not take off or even move forward.

Durant's defense can be said to be average, a little better than Hardenway's.

His main problem is his lack of concentration.

He is easily staggered and likes to raise one hand. He rarely jumps to defend and mainly relies on his long arms.

Because of his long hands and long legs, it is really difficult for ordinary players to beat Durant.

But Bai Yi is certainly not an ordinary person, and his three-pointers are accurate enough.

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

Both sides are three points.

The fans at the scene burst into warm applause.

Durant also felt his blood boiling. He gritted his teeth and planned to continue playing.

The game continued, and Durant came to Bai Yi again with the ball.

He then slightly bent his knees, and his whole body suddenly jumped to the left. However, as soon as he took a step, he twisted to the right, and then ran to the left.

Such a crazy change of direction can only be made by Durant in the league.

This is Durant's killer move - worshiping Buddha.

Defensive players simply can't keep up, no matter if it's Rose or Westbrook.

Because Durant is also fast.

Fortunately, this move is very taxing on the body, so Durant doesn't use it often.

Adu easily passed Bai Yi and then scored a layup.

This ball, even Bai Yi, has to admit that it is really handsome.

He even clapped and applauded.

Durant applauded in vain, feeling proud in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of his previous thoughts.

With such an awesome performance, Bai should be willing to be my second boss.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, and Bai Yi still shot a three-pointer.

Ever since, the next step was for Durant to show off his offensive skills with great force.

He is really a basketball genius, with such a tall stature, but he can basically master all the basketball skills that only guards can have.

Moreover, he can also back up and has strong face-up skills.

No wonder he is the number one player in the national team of the beautiful country.

Relatively speaking, Bai Yi's offense is much simpler. He just shoots three-pointers, crazy three-pointers.

But three points is one more point than two points.

At the end of the second quarter, the points difference between the two teams did not get closer, but continued to widen.

Timberwolves 72:46 Thunder, the score difference between the two teams came to 26 points.

Westbrook was sitting on the bench, with a smile in his eyes. He lowered his head and curled his lips without any trace.

If he can't do it, then Durant can't do it, so what's the point of being arrogant?

Harden stood aside, expressionless, but feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

His basketball IQ is very high.

In Harden's view, neither Durant nor Westbrook is very smart in playing basketball and always mess around.

Westbrook gave away his head like crazy in the first quarter, it was really funny.

As for Durant, he is known as the number one player in one-on-one situations, but this title should change hands this season.

Bai Yi averages more than 40 points per game, which is more than ten points more than yours.

You still have the nerve to be the first single player?

To challenge Bai Yi in a one-on-one battle is to be abused. Why are you so stupid?

The Timberwolves' scoring strength is Bai Yi. Except for Reggie, who is average, the rest of the players struggle to score.

This is the time to gather the strength of the team. How can we act like this?

Harden watched Durant leave with a sullen expression and smiled to himself.

At the same time, he also feels that there is no future in the Thunder, even if he can replace Westbrook as the starting point guard.

The Thunder have Durant, a single player who doesn't know how to cooperate, and ultimately has no future.

In this case, it is better to run away on your own, which may have different effects.

…

Bai Yi returned to the locker room with his teammates, and Adelman explained the techniques and tactics.

After a while, the technical coach came to Bai Yi with a form.

"Bai, you have already had four steals in this game. In the first half alone, you had four steals."

He had four steals in the first half, which is a very powerful defensive role in the NBA.

Because normally, the steal leader averages about 2.5 to 3 steals per game.

With Bai Yi's crazy performance on the defensive end during this period, he now averages 3.5 steals per game.

There is no way, the physical attributes are too high, it doesn't matter if you can't get rid of it, Baiyi can handle it for a long time running, if you keep trying, even if the success rate is not too high, the number of successes will not be low.

The technical coach then said: "Bai, I think you have hope of competing for the best defensive player."

Baiyi may be able to compete for the best defensive player and best defensive team this season.

The best defensive player hasn't gone to a guard in years.

In the history of the league, only five defenders have won the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Among them is Jordan, whom everyone knows well.

For example, Kobe Bryant only made the All-Defensive Team but did not win the Best Defensive Player award.

Because the All-Defensive Team is voted on by reporters, sometimes stars have an advantage.

The best defensive player is voted by the team's coaches, which can be said to be more clear.

Maybe the best defensive team is still fishing in troubled waters, but the best defensive player is definitely not possible.

Bai Yi is a rookie, which actually gave the coaches a bad initial impression.

Because the coaches will only think that this rookie is very good, but they will not say that this rookie is the best defensive player in the league.

But Bai Yi's leaps and bounds in the steals list are particularly rare.

The technical coach thinks Bai Yi's steals average of 3.5 per game is too scary, if the media is willing to hype it up.

Then Baiyi's hope of winning the best defensive player will increase a lot.

When Bai Yi heard this, he smiled and nodded.

It's a good thing to get such encouragement, but it doesn't matter if you can't get it.

After all, he is still young, he has a system and is not afraid of losing honor.

"You have to increase your steals, especially in popular games like this."
