The opening three-pointer in basketball

Bai Yi has already made five steals, and the Timberwolves have just led by ten points.

With thirty seconds left in the second quarter, the Timberwolves had the ball. Bai Yi patted the basketball and delayed time outside the three-point line. At this time, Allen and Mayo stepped forward together and double-teamed Bai Yi.

The DJ at the scene shouted: "We must restrict him and let him know who is the real strong defensive player."

Bai Yi passed the ball to Reggie, who caught the ball. Seeing that the attack time was running out, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, then drew an arc and hit the basket heavily.

The ball didn't go in.

Xiaojia roared angrily, jumped up, grabbed the basketball, and then passed it to Kang Li in front.

Kang Li caught the ball and immediately counterattacked.

Mayo also started running.

But these two are not the fastest runners.

Bai Yi was the fastest person. He retreated quickly when Xiaojia grabbed the rebound.

At this time, facing two offensive players, one rushing towards him from the left and the other from the right, Bai Yi opened his hands and quickly retreated.

The fans at the scene had already begun to applaud, and everyone felt that the goal would definitely be scored.

Kang Li is also very confident. His shooting is average, but there is absolutely no problem with layups.

Not to mention Mayo distracting Bai Yi.

However, Bai Yi is a master of defense, so he decided to deal with it carefully.

Kang Li then jumped up and made a layup gesture. Bai Yi also jumped up and raised his hands high.

Kang Li chuckled, flicked the hand holding the ball back, and passed the basketball to Mayo behind her.

He himself continued to rush forward quickly.

In Kang Li's view, Bai Yi would be taken away by him, and then Mayo made an easy layup.

The goal he just scored was a very beautiful assist, and could even be ranked among the top ten goals today.

However, Bai Yi was not taken away by Kang Li. When Kang Li fell, Bai Yi actually avoided it, and then jumped up again facing Mayo.

Such continuous take-offs require very strong explosive power.

Very few people in the league can do that.

But Bai Yi can.

In the eyes of the fans, it was Mayo who faced Bai Yi and made another layup.

"Crack!"

Bai Yi slapped Mayo's ball away with a slap.

This is not a steal, but a block.

Mayo couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that Kang Li didn't take Bai Yi away, and he didn't expect that Bai Yi would jump up right after he landed.

This is so fucking amazing.

O'Neal laughed loudly, "Bai, an amazing rookie. I think he is the best defensive player under the age of 30."

Barkley shook his head, "Not necessarily. His steals are very good, but his shot defense is only above average. But he is definitely the most active defensive player under the age of 30."

"If that ball had been played by someone else, they would have just stood there and raised their hands."

"I remember a lot of scenes like this, including Durant and Westbrook."

Kenny Smith nodded, "Yes, Bai's defense is not only reflected in technology, but also in his sufficient concentration and his very high enthusiasm."

"I have never seen that rookie defend as focused as he does. All rookies, including No. 1 pick Irving, should learn from Bai's defense."

In a small house in Cleveland.

Irving had just opened a can of beer, then frowned and rolled his eyes at Kenny Smith speechlessly.

If you evaluate Bai Yi well, what do you think he does?

Of course he also had some doubts.

Is this guy Bai Yi really a rookie?

Why is it that the current trend is to emphasize offense over defense, but Bai Yi can still be so strong in defense?

The one-to-two defense just now was really awesome.

There were also three steals at the beginning of the game.

Irving jumped up when he saw it and couldn't help but cheer loudly. I have to say that Bai Yi's steal was really fast and accurate.

It's just that this is too different.

Everyone is a rookie. Why is Bai Yi so good? Even if he is good at offense, he is still so good at defense. Isn't this a slap in Chi Guoguo's face?

Irving really feels that he does not need to spend so much energy on the defensive end.

After all, he is a sharp offensive weapon.

Just focus on attacking.

Leave defense to role players.

But because Baiyi's defense is so good, and the league's commentators continue to praise it.

More and more fans feel that even stars should defend seriously.

When it comes to talking about it, let's talk about Kobe, James, and Bai Yi playing serious defense.

They don't talk about Harden, Westbrook, or Durant anymore.

Irving was even advised by fans to defend well.

He was really unhappy.

Everyone has their own characteristics, okay? Why should everyone learn from Bai Yi?

Although he felt unhappy, Owen had to admit it.

Bai Yi is no longer a player on the same level as him.

Bai Yi has a high probability of making the All-NBA Team, the All-Defensive Team, the scoring leader, the steal leader, and the Rookie of the Year this season.

Bai Yi is already heading towards superstardom.

Irving, to put it mildly, is just a rising star.

Naturally he was unwilling to do so.

But the distance is there, Irving's idol Kobe Bryant scored 81 points, and Bai Yi also scored 81 points.

Irving averaged only 20 points per game this season, with a single-game high of only 28 points.

He didn't look good enough in front of Bai Yi.

Some fans even complained about the Cavaliers management and asked them why they didn't choose Bai Yi and let the Timberwolves take advantage.

Such words were really a naked insult, but Owen couldn't refute it.

Bai Yi has gone from the unknown boy who challenged him to the quasi-superstar now.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

The atmosphere in the home team lounge at FedEx Arena in Memphis was not very good.

After Hollins finished talking about the techniques and tactics, he sat aside with a sullen face.

In the first half, we had a chance to narrow the point difference to eight points, but in the last counterattack, we were unable to beat the two-on-one team. It was really laughable.

Hollins was really going to explode.

He complained about Kang Li and Mayo and didn't understand why these two people were so stupid.

Kang Li lowered her head. He was also very depressed. Who would have thought that a rookie could be so good at defense and so explosive.

After the continuous ricochet, he felt that his legs were weak after landing.

Bai Yi didn't even hesitate, not even a second passed, and then jumped up to defend.

Such a fierce rookie is really scary.

Kang Li thinks Bai Yi is better than Oden and Durant.

When he participated in the draft, he was shocked to see Oden and Durant. He didn't expect these two people to be so strong, but now he feels that these two rookie seasons are nothing compared to Bai Yi.

Not to mention offense, Bai Yi's defense can kill Kobe and Jordan's performance in his rookie season.

There has never been a rookie so defensively strong, it's really incredible.

Kangli felt that it was not her and Mayo's fault.

It's just that Bai Yi was so strong that he failed to make two final layups.

If it hadn't been for the two of them, anyone else would have been covered at that time.
