The opening three-pointer in basketball

After all, Bai Yi's personal data and team-leading ability are obvious to all. In fact, he is like the best team and the best defensive team.

These honors are voted on by media reporters.

Bai Yi's relationship with reporters is not good, but it's not bad either.

It's a given that he can get in.

The best defensive player actually surprised Bai Yixiao.

Because the best defensive player is voted on by all head coaches in the league.

These coaches actually prefer defensive players like Warcraft Howard.

Because Howard can support a defensive system by himself.

In the past three seasons, Howard has received this honor three times in a row.

The Magic are in average shape this season, and Howard himself is in the middle of nowhere, and he doesn't want to play for the Magic anymore.

Therefore, Howard's performance on the court was average.

But another inside player, Chandler, is the center Chandler who left the Mavericks. He got the maximum salary and is very happy. His defense this season is very good.

Before the Defensive Player of the Year was announced, many media predicted that Baiyi's biggest competitor would be Chandler.

The result was that there were thirty votes in total, Bai Yi got twenty votes, Chandler got eight votes, and Howard got two votes.

Bai Yi has received so many honors, and naturally the Timberwolves fans are the most excited.

Many people believe that Bai Yi will lead the Timberwolves to rise.

Knowing that the opponent in the first round was the Mavericks, fans also believed that the Timberwolves could easily advance to the second round of the playoffs.

The most regrettable thing is the Cavaliers fans. Many Cavaliers fans feel that Irving is not worthy of being the No. 1 pick and they should choose Bai Yi.

Cavaliers fans even think that Bai Yi should belong to the Cavaliers. After all, Bai Yi went to the Cavaliers for trial training in the first place.

It's a pity that the Cavaliers management has no vision.

Bai Yi doesn't know what the fans on the Internet think, but he has received a lot of information recently and he has long been used to it.

After hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Bai Yi chuckled and nodded, without any special expression.

Zhou Yuan then talked about the summer Olympics.

"Bai Yi, you may not know much about the situation of the national team. The strength of the current national team is declining very fast, and the basic skills of domestic players are very poor. They may not be sure of winning against the Peninsula or Persia."

"It's even more impossible to fight Australia."

"You have to be mentally prepared and don't say big things to the media, otherwise you will be the one who gets the backlash."

Zhou Yuan did not tell Bai Yi not to compete in the Olympics.

After all, we are Chinese, and everyone has special patriotic feelings. It is impossible not to be recruited by the national team.

He hoped that Bai Yi would understand, stop talking nonsense, and just do your best in the past.

To avoid having to talk about unsatisfactory Olympic results and being eliminated by the fans.

Bai Yi understands Zhou Yuan's concerns.

"Don't worry, I'm not ignorant."

At this moment, the system sounded, "Ding, the system task is completed. Congratulations to the host for winning the league's regular season MVP, being selected for the league's best team, being selected for the league's best defensive team, winning the league's best rookie, and becoming the regular season scoring leader."

"The host has completed the task perfectly, and the host will be rewarded with fifty achievement points."

With a total of fifty achievement points, Bai Yi's achievement points suddenly reached one hundred and thirty-two.

Bai Yi looked at the skyrocketing achievement points and couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.

"Ding! There is a new task in the system. In task 1, if you win the championship this season, you will be rewarded with twenty achievement points."

"Task 2: Win the men's basketball gold medal at this summer's London Olympics and be rewarded with thirty achievement points."

Winning the league championship only rewards twenty points.

Winning the men's basketball gold medal will reward you with thirty achievement points.

It seems that winning the gold medal is more difficult than winning the league championship.

Zhou Yuan didn't know what Bai Yi had just experienced. He smiled and nodded, "You have always been calmer. If you say so, then just work hard and enjoy the playoffs."

Zhou Yuan did not wish Bai Yi to win the playoff championship.

Because he knows very well that the playoffs are not on the same level as the regular season.

The intensity of the playoffs is much higher.

Many rookies feel confused when they play in the playoffs for the first time.

Opponents that were not very serious in the past will be much more focused in the playoffs.

During the regular season, one ball or two goals may not matter much.

But every goal in the playoffs is very important, and there is a feeling that every inch of ground must be fought for.

Zhou Yuan is unsure about Bai Yi's playoff performance.

He feels that he should be much better than ordinary rookies.

But he doesn't believe that Bai Yi can make a special breakthrough in the playoffs. He thinks that the Timberwolves have succeeded if they can get past the first round.

As for the second round, he doesn't quite believe in the Timberwolves.

It's not just because of Bai Yi, but also because the Timberwolves' lineup is too thin.

The current lineup can be said to be indispensable, especially Pekovic. If he is injured, the Timberwolves' already weak inside line will be even worse.

In fact, Reggie and Morris are equally important.

Because without them, the Timberwolves' perimeter defense would be much worse.

But maybe the Timberwolves will go back to the beginning of the season, unable to defend against strong and weak teams, and in the end they can only count on outscoring their opponents.

As the saying goes, defense wins championships.

Zhou Yuan thinks this view is very normal.

If the Timberwolves don't have a tough enough defense, they won't have good results.

…

The league's regular season is over.

The top eight in the Western Conference are the Timberwolves, Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, and Mavericks.

The outside world generally believes that the game between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks is not interesting.

After all, the Mavericks lineup is really too old.

The exciting matchups that fans are more optimistic about are the Thunder and Clippers, and the Lakers and Grizzlies.

Needless to say, the Thunder's three young players, Durant, Westbrook, and Harden play with very strong impact.

The Clippers are known as the city of alley-oops, so naturally they play just as hard.

DeAndre Jordan and Griffin both said they couldn't wait to dunk on the Thunder court.

Paul is also full of confidence. He said that he is ready to teach the younger generation Thunder Young Masters a lesson.

The game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies mainly depends on whether Kobe can break out.

The Lakers' decline this season can be seen at a glance.

The Grizzlies are good defensively, but their offense is not. During the regular season, the Lakers averaged higher points per game.

Many Lakers fans think that even if the Lakers can't go far, beating the Grizzlies is still trivial.

In addition, the duel between the Gasol brothers is also a highlight.

As for the Spurs and Nuggets, this matchup is considered by fans and media to be the most ugly playoff game.

The main reason is that both teams play team basketball, and although the Nuggets have Billups, their star power is still too dim.

In this way, the game between the two teams seemed a bit boring.

Fans and media generally believe that the teams in the top half will advance. The only ones that are a bit suspense are probably the Lakers and Grizzlies.

Most media think the Timberwolves and Spurs will eliminate their opponents within five games.
