The opening three-pointer in basketball

"mvp,mvp,mvp."

On the home team's bench at the Target Center, all the players are back.

Bai Yi sat down. He naturally heard the shouts of the fans, but he was not affected. He remained very calm.

Adelman was a little worried about Bai Yi's mental state.

But I saw Bai Yi's peaceful gaze.

He knew that Bai Yi was not affected at all, and Bai Yi was very calm now.

Adelman then encouraged the players. He said that everyone performed very well. They were only behind by six points in the first quarter. The Timberwolves still have a chance to win the game, so there is no need to worry now.

"The Pacers' defense like this will consume a lot of money. Our chance will be in the second half, do you understand?"

His statement is correct. Generally speaking, defense consumes more money. Whether it is defending Bai Yi's Hibbert and Granger, or Reggie's George, they need to run with Bai Yi and Reggie, which consumes a lot of money.

However, if the Pacers' defensive resources are rich enough, then the Pacers will not be afraid of losses.

After a while, the players from both teams returned to the court.

The Pacers had the ball, and Granger held the ball past halftime.

Bai Yi came over. Granger was very pragmatic. He knew Bai Yi's defensive strength and did not think of provoking Bai Yi at all. He immediately passed the ball to Hibbert, who passed the ball to George.

"Shh!"

The fans at the scene immediately let out harsh boos.

George faced Tucker and raised his hand to hit a three-pointer amidst the boos.

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

The ball went in.

George feels good today.

He was very excited, then beat his chest and roared.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. Bai Yi held the ball and then passed it to Love, who easily scored the ball.

Under the current circumstances, the Timberwolves' offensive tactics have not changed.

The game continued like the first quarter. The Timberwolves still used Love's offense as the main offense, while the Pacers used the entire team's offense. Under such circumstances, the point difference between the two teams continued to widen.

And because the Pacers players were in good shape today, and George and Collison made consecutive three-pointers, the score between the two teams became even more disparate.

At the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Pacers were already leading by 15 points.

Adelman hurriedly called a timeout, realizing that he couldn't continue to be so loud.

But there's nothing Adelman can do. His on-the-spot adjustments have always been mediocre.

Bai Yi thought for a while, and then told Adelman his thoughts. The game continued after a while, and the Timberwolves continued to make adjustments.

Tucker goes off and Rubio comes on.

In this case, the Timberwolves' lineup is Baiyi, Rubio, Reggie, Love, and Pekovic.

Among them, Rubio and Love rarely started after the All-Star Game because of their poor defense.

Usually they are arranged to play with the opponent's substitute.

But Bai Yi felt that since the Timberwolves couldn't score easily now, they might as well continue to increase their offense.

After all, their defensive resources are limited, and there is nothing they can adjust defensively, so they might as well play tricks on the offensive end.

Replacing Rubio, the Timberwolves at least added an offensive point.

It was the Timberwolves attacking again, Bai Yi was double-teamed by Hibbert and Granger, and he passed the ball to Rubio.

George defended Reggie, while Collison and West were both inside.

In this case, Rubio will be free.

He is another player of the Timberwolves besides Bai Yi and Reggie who can pass the ball. He can also shoot, including three-pointers from mid-range.

Bai Yi then started running, he ran very fast, and soon after he got rid of Hibbert Granger, Bai Yi raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Rubio easily moved the ball when no one was guarding him.

In this way, Bai Yi got the opportunity.

He then started a three-pointer.

Then, in the expectant eyes of the fans at the scene, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

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

The ball was scored, and Baiyi finally opened the scoring halfway through the second quarter.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

The Timberwolves had one more passing point, and Bai Yi then began to continuously catch the ball and shoot three-pointers.

And the walkers couldn't stop them at all.

Although Rubio and Love are big colanders, it is easier for the Pacers to score.

But Baiyi was accurate in three-pointers and increased points faster. Under such circumstances, the point difference between the two teams began to shrink.

With twenty seconds left in the second quarter, the Timberwolves were already only three points behind the Pacers.

At this time, the Pacers have the ball.

Hibbert dribbled the ball across half court and then passed the ball to George.

The Pacers' offense is undoubtedly one of the top five in the league, with a bunch of defensive heroes and very good defensive resources.

However, they also have a shortcoming, that is, they cannot attack well.

The Timberwolves are the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the league this season. In the past games, the Timberwolves averaged 117 points per game.

The second-place Spurs scored 105 points, and although the Pacers are third in the Eastern Conference, they mainly rely on defense. They average 93 points per game, ranking 22nd in the league.

That is eighth from the bottom.

Arguably the Pacers' strongest attacker is George.

Except for George, everyone else is averaging more than ten to seven or eight points per game.

But even George is far worse than James and Durant.

George's dribbling ability is not good and he has almost no breakthrough. His strongest point is fixed-point shooting.

George caught the ball at this time, and then patted the basketball, looking for rhythm to shoot.

Rubio is not good defensively, but his homework is still good.

He knew that George couldn't break through, so he leaned forward and planned to interfere with George's shooting.

However, Rubio is 1.88 meters tall and George is 2.03 meters tall.

It would be too difficult for Rubio to interfere with George.

George was also very confident. He patted the ball and just when he found his rhythm, he was about to combine the ball and shoot.

Bai Yi suddenly abandoned Granger from the side, rushed out from the side, and reached out to grab George's basketball.

George was shocked and turned around quickly, trying to block Bai Yi's sight with his body.

But he underestimated Bai Yi's hand speed.

"Crack!"

Bai Yi was the first to steal the basketball, and then he quickly dropped the ball. Seeing that there were still two seconds left and there was no time to cross the half court, Bai Yi raised his hand and threw the basketball away.

The basketball flew up, and the red light on the basket lit up as the basketball soared.

The basketball drew an arc and flew into the net.

The ball went in, a very beautiful goal in seconds.

The two teams were tied at the end of the second quarter.

Bai Yi scored 18 points in the last six minutes of the second quarter, leading the Timberwolves to tie the score.

"mvp,mvp,mvp."

The fans at the scene shouted excitedly and cheered for Bai Yi.

I thought I was going to lose this game, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. It only took half a quarter to even the score difference.

The fans have regained their confidence, everyone is very happy, and they are more convinced of Bai Yiyi.
