The opening three-pointer in basketball

The weather in Memphis is very good, it is warmer here than other places.

Moreover, urban greening is also better.

At the Memphis Grizzlies Club training facility, Garfield is training seriously at this time.

He not only shoots mid-range shots, but also shoots three-pointers.

As a center who can actually shoot three-pointers, I have to say that Marc is really a talent.

In fact, this is not a very unusual skill among European players.

Not only Marcia, but Marcia can also shoot three-pointers.

It's just that they can't create scoring opportunities on their own, they can only wait for the ball and shoot open three-pointers.

No matter even this, it can bring greater offensive space to the players.

With the rise of Bai Yi, the league is paying more and more attention to three-pointers and players who can shoot three-pointers.

Including Marc, he will now shoot more three-pointers.

In the past, he usually made one or two shots, but now he can make four or five shots.

Moreover, the news that he can make three-pointers has spread, and coaches have paid more attention to Garfield's three-pointers.

Randolph expressed his envy.

As a Black Bear who can only eat under the basket, Randolph now feels that Garfield has already gotten ahead of him.

This made Randolph very unwilling.

It's a pity that Randolph wants to practice three-pointers, but he doesn't have time.

Xiaojia's ability to shoot three-pointers was not something Bai Yi learned after entering the league. He had already learned three-point shooting.

When he was a child, he played with Dajia, and the two brothers started shooting three-pointers at that time.

The reason why Xiaojia practiced more today was to maintain the feel.

He feels good these days, and he wants to bring it to the game against the Timberwolves.

In the past few days, the news that Baiyi ranked second in the MVP rankings has detonated the entire Internet. More and more fans are paying attention to this matter. Many media are discussing who will win the MVP in the end.

Is it Bai Yi or Ross?

Such public opinion made Xiaojia very unhappy.

He thinks the Grizzlies will play the Timberwolves in the next round.

Why does the media look down on the Grizzlies and keep talking about the Bulls?

This game is not a simple duel for the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have met the Timberwolves three times before this season, losing all three times.

If they lose to the Timberwolves again this time, they will be killed by the Timberwolves four times in a row.

This is too tragic.

What's more important is that the Grizzlies are now fifth in the Western Conference, and the Lakers are fourth in the Western Conference.

Once this ranking is maintained until the end of the season.

Then the Grizzlies' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Lakers.

Once the Grizzlies advance to the second round of the playoffs, their opponent is likely to be the Timberwolves.

He was killed four times in a row in the regular season, and he got hammered in the playoffs.

There must be no morale at all.

So if the Grizzlies want to go further in the playoffs, they can't lose to the Timberwolves again.

At least one win out of four.

That's what Grizzlies coach Hollins thinks.

Xiaojia approves very much.

Although the outside world is not very optimistic about the Grizzlies, Kevin Garnett has recently become more and more convinced that the Grizzlies can actually compete in the playoffs.

When most people talk about the Grizzlies, they will say that the Grizzlies are a defensive team. It seems that except for the two black and white evils of Garfield and Randolph, there is nothing much to say.

But my family knows their own affairs.

Xiaojia still has some confidence in the Grizzlies. In addition to their two big insiders, the Grizzlies also have Gay, Kang Li, and Tony Allen, as well as Mayo, Shubetz, Arenas and other outstanding players.

It can be said that they have certain strength whether they are the main force or the substitute.

Compared with the Timberwolves, who only have Rubio and Love besides the main players, the Grizzlies' lineup can be said to be much more complete.

Xiaojia has always looked down on Asians. He feels that Asians are not worthy of playing in the NBA.

Bai Yi actually wanted to compete for MVP this time. Xiao Jia was very unhappy. He had no special reason, he just didn't like it.

Regarding this game, Xiaojia intends to do his best to defeat the Timberwolves.

…

The FedEx Arena in Memphis was extremely lively today. Nearly 20,000 fans poured into the stadium and almost filled all the seats.

Compared with other previous games, the attendance rate at FedEx Arena today was about 20% higher. In the past, the attendance rate was usually around 16,000.

Today it was full.

The main reason is because today's opponent is the Timberwolves.

There are currently three traffic teams in the league, one is the Lakers, the second is the Heat, and the third is the Timberwolves.

Needless to say about the Lakers, Kobe has his own traffic. Basically, as long as there is a Lakers game, both the ratings and the number of fans watching can go up to a higher level.

The Heat are the Big Three, and it's interesting to see the Big Three play.

Relatively speaking, the Timberwolves' starlight is much dim, and core player Bai Yi cannot be said to be a superstar now.

However, the Timberwolves play well and score high points. They are the highest-scoring team in the league. Their average points per game this season has reached 118 points, which is 13 points more than the second-place Nuggets.

Except for Spurs fans, almost no fans like to watch Spurs games, and the same goes for the Celtics.

It's because although these two teams have stars, they score too few points and are uninspiring to watch.

If scoring a goal is very difficult, then why watch basketball? It's better to just watch football.

Therefore, it is beneficial for the Timberwolves to score high, and many fans of other teams also like to watch Timberwolves games.

That's it today, so many fans just came to watch the match between their team and the Timberwolves.

At this time, the starting players of both teams have arrived on the court.

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

Grizzlies starting lineup: Kang Li, Gay, Randolph, Marc, and Tony Allen.

Xiaojia shouted in a low voice, "Guys, remember, we must defeat them and let the league see the strength of the Grizzlies."

Others nodded one after another. For them, since this game was broadcast live across the United States, they had to go all out and not let Bai Yi take the lead.

There was a beep and the whistle sounded. Pekovic and Xiaojia grabbed the ball together. Xiaojia was five centimeters taller than Pekovic. He still had an advantage in grabbing the ball. He jumped up and then passed the ball to Kang.

Korea.

Bai Yi greeted him.

Hollins yelled from the sidelines, "Watch White's defense."

Kang Li was not a reckless person. He glanced at Bai Yi and then threw the ball to Guy on the side.

Gay held the ball and faced Morris Jr., and he started dribbling.

This took a lot of time, but little Morris was not fooled.

Seeing that Morris was defending well, Gay reluctantly raised his hand and threw the ball to Morris under the basket.

These are the techniques and tactics that Hollins arranged before the game.

Outside players should play by themselves if they have a chance, and if they don't have a chance, pass the ball to the inside.

After all, the inside combination of Garfield and Randolph can be said to be the best in the league.

Xiaojia didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he reached out, Bai Yi suddenly rushed out and stole the basketball with a snap.
