The opening three-pointer in basketball

The ball didn't go in, but the whistle sounded, Haywood fouled, and Tucker made two free throws.

Tucker is indeed a tough guy.

It's a pity that the free throw shooting is not good, and one of the two goals was scored.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. Kidd held the ball and Bai Yi came forward.

Kidd stared at Bai Yi carefully, and then passed the ball to Carter on the side.

The demigod caught the ball and rushed forward.

He runs very fast. He can run so fast at the age of thirty-four. No wonder he is called the successor of Jordan.

Bai Yi saw it in his eyes, then reached out and grabbed Carter's jersey, pulled hard, and then immediately let go.

Carter was pulled by Bai Yi, and the entire offensive rhythm was lost.

He paused violently, then hugged the ball and took two steps in a row.

He walked.

When the whistle sounded, the referee looked at Bai Yi with admiration in his eyes.

All the top twenty superstars in league history are all smart people and players who are good at utilizing the rules.

For example, Jordan was called an old hooligan by fans. When he was defending in the playoffs, he pulled his jersey, raised his elbows, pushed his knees into his thighs, or secretly stretched out his hands to pinch people.

None of these small actions are missing.

No matter how others treat him, he will basically return it unchanged.

The same goes for Kobe, Duncan, and Nowitzki.

Kobe Bryant likes to wrestle with others on defense, and especially likes to put his hands on other people's waists, so that it is difficult for offensive players to exert force below the waist.

And Duncan, when on defense, likes to reach out and pull the offensive player's arm from time to time.

This can easily interrupt other people's offensive rhythm.

Nowitzki looks at relatively moderate players like this, and he likes to bend his knees slightly when defending.

He is tall, and if he raises his knees slightly, he can hit the offensive player's thigh.

At this time, the offensive player's thighs were sore, numb, and extremely sore.

So although Nowitzki is not good at defense, it does not mean that he is really not good at it.

If a big man challenges him and confronts him, he can defend well.

What he's afraid of are little guys, like Tucker, like Reggie.

They were fast, short, and had a low center of gravity, so King Nuo had nothing to do.

Judging from these players, all the superstars in the league, no one has any defensive habits during the playoffs. They feel that they cannot use small moves or fouls.

This is the view of a fool and a coward.

In fact, these superstars know very well that the playoffs are a game where you lose and I win, or I lose and you win. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated.

As long as the movements are not excessive, then there is basically no problem.

They will take advantage of the rules and show their cunning side that is not easy to mess with.

This style continued until James Wade and others.

This is not to say that the new generation is immoral. In fact, Westbrook, Durant and others all have some irregular defensive moves.

It's just that these people are too lazy and often don't bother to defend.

And Bai Yi's sudden action just now affected Carter.

It means that you understand the rules of the game.

You must know that he is a rookie and has never played in the playoffs before.

I got used to it so quickly at this time.

That's why referees appreciate him.

Morris, who has always been a no-nonsense, fearless person who often plays the role of a troublemaker in the regular season, was shocked at this time.

He felt that he would be the fastest to adapt, and he felt that the Timberwolves needed him to make such small moves.

But he didn't expect Bai Yi to be merciless at all.

As expected of the boss.

Little Morris nodded towards Bai Yi, expressing his admiration.

A moment later, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack again. Nowitzki caught the ball and then extended his hand.

He stood on his right foot, but kicked out his left foot.

This is the famous Golden Rooster Independence.

When he kicked out with his left foot, his left foot opened up a shooting space.

Your defensive player squeezes forward and presses his left foot. King Nuo's center of gravity is unstable and he falls to the ground. That is a defensive foul.

If your defensive player doesn't press forward, Nowitzki can calmly shoot a jumper.

Tucker defended, he didn't dare to step forward, but reached out and grabbed Nowitzki's waist.

Nowitzki's mid-range shot is the most accurate in the league.

Durant is said to be No. 1 in the league in mid-range shooting, but in fact Durant's field goal percentage is not as good as Nowitzki's.

King Nuo's mid-range jump shot has a hit rate of 52% all year round.

At this time, he completed the shot, and the basketball flew out, drew an arc, and flew into the net.

Nowitzki couldn't help but glance at Tucker.

Tucker's defense just now was very stupid. He didn't step forward to squeeze, but quickly grabbed his waist.

If Nowitzki hadn't experienced hundreds of battles, he wouldn't have been affected much. If it had been any other player, he would have failed just now.

Thinking of the unintentional pull on Carter just now, and Tucker's actions.

Nowitzki understands that the Timberwolves' young team is growing rapidly.

Their playoff experience is slowly increasing, and the Timberwolves will undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with.

A moment later, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack again, and Kidd held the ball past halftime.

He then passed it to Carter.

This time the demigod glanced at Bai Yi warily, and then he rushed forward.

Reggie defended Carter, and Reggie rushed over.

"Bang!"

The two big men collided with each other, and Reggie put his hands on Carter's waist and gave it a quick squeeze.

Carter gritted his teeth and rushed over, then raised his hand and dunked.

The ball went in.

Carter's dunk was very exciting.

But Adelman is not unhappy, he has noticed the changes in his players.

After Bai Yi took the lead to change his thinking, others quickly adapted to the standards of the playoffs and used various methods. They may not be able to prevent the Mavericks players' offense.

But there is no doubt that they are rapidly wearing out the Mavericks players.

Adelman was really shocked. He thought the players needed one or even two games to adapt.

Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves players were much better than he imagined.

You guys have very strong learning ability.

Especially Bai Yi, as a super star of the alliance, he didn't have any discomfort at all, and the connection was completely seamless.

I quickly adapted and accepted it.

Adelman couldn't help but sigh, Bai Yi was definitely a born superstar.

In this way, the game between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks began in full swing.

The Mavericks thought that the Timberwolves players were all young people with no playoff experience and would be intimidated by such a small move.

But he didn't expect that the Timberwolves players, led by Bai Yi, would adapt so quickly and have such strong learning abilities.

The offense of Timberwolves players suffered a lot of interference.

The same goes for Mavericks players.

Under such circumstances, the scores of the two teams increased slowly.

Because I spent more time and energy fighting in secret, my score dropped a bit.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves 25:23 the Mavericks.

This score is considered a low score for the Timberwolves.

Bai Yi didn't even use the full three-pointer once. He was not in a hurry, and naturally he would not be disappointed at this time. He believed that everything was under control.
