The opening three-pointer in basketball

There is a lot of discussion in the outside world about whether the Lakers can stop the Timberwolves and prevent this super dark horse from reaching the top of the league standings.

The vast majority of the media still looks down on the Lakers.

However, the Lakers players will naturally not admit defeat. As a Los Angeles team and the team with the most spotlight in the United States, they will not give in even if they know they are losing.

Kobe was naturally the first to bear the brunt. He was interviewed by reporters and then laughed: "I know Bai is very strong. He had 12 steals in a single game before, but we are different. We will not easily let the Timberwolves run wild in Los Angeles."

Ci Shiping also accepted an interview with reporters, "If Bai comes to Staples, I will definitely restrict him. I will not let him score more than 30 points."

Regarding the Lakers players' harsh words, the Timberwolves players were very calm.

The main reason is that Reggie and Tucker respect Kobe.

Another point is that they don't dare to offend the Lakers.

In fact, very few players in the league will fight against the Lakers, except maybe the Celtics.

Other young players, especially role players, generally don't fight against the Lakers.

Because the Lakers are in Los Angeles, joining the Lakers means a lot of exposure, which means that even a role player can double his annual income.

This is an advantage that no other club has.

The role player signed by the Lakers earns about US$3 million per season per season, but off the court, because he is in Los Angeles, he can earn another US$3 million. That is, as long as he joins the Lakers, he can earn even more.

And if he joins the Heat or the Sixers, for a role player, there will generally be no off-court income.

The annual salary given by the club is the annual income.

So it can be said that all role players in the league want to join the Lakers.

This is the Lakers' biggest advantage.

Many role players left the Lakers and were traded by the Lakers. They did not dare to say bad things about the Lakers, just because of money and thinking that the Lakers could re-acquire them.

So the Lakers players were shouting unilaterally, but the Timberwolves players were very quiet.

Under such circumstances, the popularity of this game is far from being hyped.

This naturally does not satisfy the alliance.

The confrontation between Kobe and Bai Yi, whether the Timberwolves can hold on to the top spot in the standings, whether the Lakers can take revenge, so many factors come together.

How could it be so silent?

This is not broadcast live in the United States at all, and the league is still waiting for this game to create excitement.

So even if the Timberwolves players don't beep, in the next time.

Various news about the Lakers and Timberwolves are still breaking out one after another.

The Timberwolves players must have underestimated the Lakers and thought Kobe was old.

For example, the Lakers players did what they did at Staples and vowed to win the game.

For example, the league hopes that the Lakers will win and help the Spurs defeat the Timberwolves.

There are numerous rumors deliberately promoted by the league and the media.

Obviously this game was not that explosive, but the result was that the Timberwolves and Lakers were described as if they were competing against each other.

More and more Lakers fans are being fooled.

The increasingly weak Lakers fans are clamoring to go to Staples to support the Lakers and to let the young Timberwolves learn to respect the giants.

The Timberwolves were also very unhappy. Fans felt that the Lakers were too aggressive.

It seems that the Timberwolves are afraid. In fact, Timberwolves fans don't look down on the Lakers at all. Fans think the Lakers are paper tigers.

Under such circumstances, the heat between the two teams gradually increased.

…

At 7 o'clock on Saturday night, China time, 20,000 fans gathered at Staples in Los Angeles, and they wanted to cheer for the Lakers.

The main players of the two teams have already arrived on the court.

The Timberwolves made a slight adjustment. Tucker did not play, but arranged for Love to play.

The reason for this arrangement is that in the last game, Garfield beat Tucker. Garbage is more than ten centimeters taller than Tucker, which allows García to easily do whatever he wants under the basket.

But now against the Lakers, the same Tucker can't be stopped, and Dajia's scoring effect will only be better than that of Dajia.

Because Dajia is inherently better at attacking.

So Adelman made adjustments.

Since you can't always defend him, you might as well just use Love. This big guy averaged 25 points per game last season.

Love's scoring ability is much better.

Under such circumstances, the Timberwolves' starting lineup: Bai Yi, Love, Morris Jr., Reggie, and Pekovic.

The Lakers' starting lineup: Kobe, Fisher, Bynum, Dajia, and Ci Shiping.

The Lakers have also made adjustments. In the previous matchup between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, the young Wald was at the small forward position.

This gentleman is younger, in better shape, and more energetic.

As for Ci Shiping, he is older and slower, but his scoring ability is stronger.

In this Lakers game, Mike Brown made up his mind not to run with the Timberwolves, but to play slowly and with high success rate.

Bai Yi patted the ball and shot a three-pointer.

He didn't use his three-point skills, but his shooting rate was still very high.

At this moment, Ci Shiping walked over and said, "Bai!"

When Metta Shiping was young, he was famously bad-tempered in the league.

He was at the Palace of Auburn Hills, annoyed Ben Wallace, and got into a fight with Ben.

Since then, he has finally restrained himself a bit and worked conscientiously with the Rockets.

Later, he joined the Lakers and helped Kobe Bryant win two consecutive championships. His whole life was sublimated, so he changed his name to Metta World Peace, or Metta World Peace for short.

Nowadays, many young fans don't even understand Ci Shiping's previous style, and they think he is a benevolent elder.

Bai Yi nodded, "Hello."

"Bai, do you dare to break through me? If you break through me ten times, I will donate 100,000 dollars to the homeless charity fund." He paused and then said: "If you don't succeed, then you will donate 100,000 dollars to the homeless charity fund."

Homeless Charity Fund.”

Without waiting for Bai Yi to answer, the system voice sounded, "Ding, system temporary task, perfect breakthrough of Ci Shiping ten times, reward twelve achievement points."

Rewarded with twelve achievement points, Bai Yi was speechless.

Naturally, he couldn't easily break through Ci Shiping.

Although this big guy is young, he was a strong contender for the league's best defensive player when he was young.

Ci Shiping has also been selected to the best defensive team. Although not many times, his defense is absolutely online.

And it's Kobe's crazy confrontational defense.

To deal with such a defense would be very costly.

Therefore, if Bai Yi wants to complete system tasks, he needs to use a skill. The reward is minus the achievement points spent on the skill, and the income is two achievement points.

Of course, even two points are worth fighting for.

Mosquito meat is also meat.

Bai Yi nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
