The opening three-pointer in basketball

After a while, other people also ran to the lounge.

When Lei Ji saw Bai Yi sitting on the sofa and wiping his sweat with a towel, he stepped forward and asked, "Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, and then said with a smile: "I think about scoring. I want to score more than the Celtics' Big Three, but it's still a little short."

Reggie nodded, then took the data sheet from the assistant coach's hand and read it carefully.

It was found that Garnett had scored 16 points, while Ray Allen had scored 16 points and Pierce had eight points.

However, he felt that these numbers were too difficult and he really couldn't calculate them without a calculator.

In fact, this is a very normal phenomenon in a beautiful country. Most NBA players are very poor in mathematics.

Without a calculator, they can't do mental calculations.

Thinking of this, Reggie couldn't help but said: "Bai, you are really amazing. You can do such a difficult calculation. You Asians are all math geniuses."

Bai Yi smiled and didn't answer.

But I have to say that chatting with Reggie helped Bai Yi relax a little.

He decided not to calculate those things and just play the game well.

On the other side, in the visiting team's lounge, Rivers shouted and tried his best to encourage the players.

Obviously, Rivers was very satisfied with the players' performance in the second quarter.

Facts have proven that as long as the Celtics' core players feel online, they can compete with many strong opponents.

Rivers even couldn't help but fantasize, if the Celtics' three cores can maintain this state, can they compete for the championship again?

Garnett, Ray Allen, and Pierce were also very excited.

They won the Heat in their last game, and if they win the Timberwolves this time, they might really have a lot to do this season.

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

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game started again.

The Celtics changed into the starting lineup again.

Obviously they just took a rest, and Pierce and Ray Allen are now energetic again.

The Celtics have the ball, Rondo holds the ball, and Reggie steps forward to defend.

Bai Yi followed Ray Allen at this time.

He felt that he couldn't let Ray Allen shoot like this and had to interrupt Jun Zijian's three-pointer.

Seeing that Rondo was following Ray Allen, he hesitated for a moment and passed the ball to Pierce.

Little Morris greeted him.

His defense today was not very good, mainly because Pierce and Ray Allen had good hands today. They didn't break through at all and just looked for opportunities to shoot.

Little Morris couldn't perform at all.

At this time, Pierce obviously still planned to shoot directly. He patted the basketball, then suddenly jumped up and threw the basketball with his hand.

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

You can still get in.

The Big Three feel really good today.

It was the Timberwolves' turn, and Bai Yi easily hit a three-pointer.

He was not too happy, and then quickly turned around to prepare for defense.

Ray Allen felt very good today. He made several three-pointers and hit 50%.

Naturally, he was not willing to be restrained by Bai Yi like this, so at this time he also ran hard.

Ray Allen even asked Pierce to pick and roll him.

Pierce is also dedicated and conscientiously builds walls for Ray Allen.

But Bai Yi is no ordinary player, and Ray Allen's speed is not at Ross Westbrook's level.

With Ray Allen's current speed, even if there is a pick-and-roll, he can't get rid of Bai Yi at all.

He ignored Pierce completely and walked around.

Just when Ray Allen was about to raise his hand for the ball, Bai Yi appeared in front of him.

Ray Allen looked at Bai Yi's shining eyes and couldn't help but be very envious.

It's really good to be young, have no physical problems at all, and run so fast.

Ray Allen usually doesn't talk much.

He is not a person who shows his emotions. Even if he is very excited, he will suppress his emotions.

Now he was struggling to get rid of Bai Yi, but his face was very calm.

He just keeps running, keeps trying, and keeps looking for opportunities.

Ray Allen knows very well the personalities of today's young players.

Players like Harden, Durant, and Westbrook don't like to defend at all and usually give up after one or two attempts.

He hoped Bai Yi would be like this too.

But the result surprised him very much. Bai Yi was very focused and serious.

No matter where Ray Allen ran, Bai Yi followed him obediently. He didn't give Ray Allen a single space.

Not to mention shooting, there is no space to connect with the ball.

Ray Allen was still very unwilling. He kept wandering around and trying to get rid of Bai Yi.

But Bai Yi is like his shadow. Wherever he goes, Bai Yi follows him.

It seems that Bai Yi has become Ray Allen's exclusive defender. He is not a star at all, but a role player whose task is to restrict Ray Allen.

Even Jun Zijian couldn't help but lose his temper at this time.

"Bai, have you been defensive like this before?"

Bai Yi nodded, "It's almost the same as now, but to be honest, the only time I was so focused on defense was with Rose and Westbrook."

Rose and Westbrook are fast and cannot tolerate any sloppiness, otherwise they will be easily thrown away by these two.

And Ray Allen is naturally because of his excellent three-pointers.

Bai Yi didn't want to be careless and let Ray Allen shoot a three-pointer.

So Bai Yi was very focused, staring closely at Ray Allen.

When Ray Allen heard this, he felt helpless.

He felt really good today, but it was too difficult.

However, as Pierce continued to score from mid-range, the Timberwolves continued to rely on three-pointers to score.

The two teams gradually widened the point difference.

Ray Allen still couldn't help but want to give it a try.

In the sixth minute of the third quarter, Ray Allen raised his hand to ask for the ball. Rondo saw it and felt that there should be some changes, and then passed the ball.

Ray Allen caught the ball, patted the ball, felt that he had found a rhythm, and then put the ball together for a shot.

At this moment, Bai Yi, who had been guarding in front of him, suddenly jumped up and slapped the basketball.

"Crack!"

Bai Yi directly swatted the basketball away, then quickly got down with the ball and scored a layup.

Ray Allen stood there, and when he reacted and turned his head, Bai Yi had already scored a layup.

It's really too fast.

Only then did Ray Allen realize why Bai Yi averaged 3.5 steals per game, and why Bai Yi could catch up with the player's steal record in a single game before.

With this steal, even if Bai Yi doesn't have the ability to shoot three-pointers, he can still get a contract worth more than 10 million with this defense.

On the sidelines, Rivers noticed that the score difference between the two teams had reached seven points. He was anxious and then called a timeout.

When the players returned to the bench, Rivers said directly: "Bai keeps shooting three-pointers. He is so accurate. We need to match his scoring."

Just because Garnett broke out in the second quarter, he planned to take a rest in the third quarter, but Ray Allen was entangled in vain, so he could only let Pierce attack.

Pierce feels good, but still not as fast as Bai Yi.

Under such circumstances, the two teams gradually widened the point difference.

Garnett heard this and stood up, "Leave it to me."
