The opening three-pointer in basketball

April 22, 2012, 7 pm, American Airlines Center, Dallas.

Nearly 20,000 fans came to the stadium, the vast majority of them were white fans. They held Coke in one hand and popcorn in the other, and swayed crazily to the live DJ.

After a while, players from both teams entered the stadium.

Mavericks starting players: Nowitzki, Marion, Haywood, Kidd, and Carter.

Timberwolves starting players: Bai Yi, Tucker, Reggie, as well as Pekovic and Morris Jr.

This was not the first time that the players from the two teams met. There was no grudge between the players and no special moves.

Warm up naturally and then get ready for the game.

When the whistle sounded, Pekovic and Haywood jumped up together. Pekovic grabbed the basketball this time and shot it to Bai Yi.

Reggie came down quickly, and Bai Yi immediately passed it to Reggie, who caught the ball and scored an easy layup.

At this time, none of the old men of the Mavericks started running.

The Mavericks don't have anyone with quick feet.

Carter's speed was okay, but Carter had just been blocked by Morris, and the others could only watch as Reggie rode away.

Nowitzki saw this in his eyes and secretly clenched his fists.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. Kidd slowly held the ball past half-court. Bai Yi stepped forward to defend and Kidd passed to Nowitzki.

The German tank received the ball and then raised the hand distance.

His hands are very big, but very gentle.

The basketball flew out smoothly, drew an arc, and flew into the net.

Seeing this, Nowitzki clenched his fist again. His condition today was indeed good.

A moment later, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack again, and Nowitzki still stood at the waist to catch the ball.

Tucker rushed over and stretched out his hands to the left and right. He was not going to hit the ball, but to hit Nowitzki's arm.

Although he may not be fast, he is quite powerful.

A young player might not be able to bear it anymore and would explode.

Nowitzki was very calm. He patted the ball, then jumped up, kicked out with his left foot, and touched the ground with his right foot.

Tucker didn't understand it at first and reached out to take a picture.

"Crack!"

He was so short that he didn't even hit Nowitzki's arm, but he hit Nowitzki's chest hard.

At this time, the basketball flew into the net and the whistle sounded at the same time. Tucker committed a defensive foul.

It was a two-plus-one, and Nowitzki easily hit the extra free throw.

As the game continued, Nowitzki began to be more proactive in asking for the ball. He was not allowed to shoot from the mid-range, and his hit rate was very high.

Under Nowitzki's leadership, the entire Mavericks team unconsciously played more proactively.

Marion also made several shots in a row.

Carter rushed in and dunked.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks actually led by two points.

In the tnt live broadcast room, Kenny Smith, who has been depressed these days, suddenly became energetic, "The Mavericks are completely different. Returning to their home court, the Mavericks seem to have changed a team. Maybe the Knicks have also changed."

Can."

The Mavericks are different from the Knicks. After Nowitzki joined the Mavericks, they almost never missed the playoffs.

And Nowitzki is still one of the top 20 superstars in the league.

The Knicks have been in trouble for decades, and they don't have a star of Nowitzki's caliber.

O'Neill curled his lips, glanced at his friend, and decided not to refute.

"Man, don't be too happy. The Mavericks played well in the first quarter, especially Nowitzki. He actually scored 15 points."

"However, the Mavericks still cannot solve their most basic problem, which is that their players are older and their physical fitness is not enough to last forty minutes in a playoff-level game."

The starting lineup in the playoffs usually lasts at least 40 minutes.

Unless it's garbage time, he won't be replaced easily.

Barkley nodded, "Yes, Bai didn't perform well in the first quarter. I think he will definitely explode in the second half."

Fans at the American Airlines Center in Dallas were excited. Many people felt that Nowitzki and his team were not necessarily weaker than the Timberwolves at the Mavericks' home court.

Bai Yi also felt the fans' mentality, but he didn't care.

Bai Yi's tactics were the same as before. He planned to paddle in the front, and then go all out in the second half, and then finish the game in one wave.

Bai Yi is still confident about defeating the Mavericks.

After a while, the game continued. The Timberwolves had the ball. Reggie held the ball and moved freely. Marion was still the only one following him.

Marion doesn't have a very good memory. He saw that Nowitzki scored 15 points in the first quarter, while Baiyi only had 7 points in the first quarter.

He then laughed and said: "Bai, why don't you shoot? Are you afraid?"

"Dirk scored fifteen points, can you do the same?"

Bai Yi looked at Marion as if he were a fool.

"Hey, what's your look like? Are you trying to escape?"

Bai Yi suddenly accelerated, threw away Marion, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Reggie passed the ball over immediately.

There was no defensive player three meters in front of Bai Yi, so he raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up.

"puff!"

There was a loud and clear sound of brushing the net, a beautiful three-pointer.

A moment later, Nowitzki also received the ball from outside the three-point line. Facing Tucker's defense, it was not easy for him.

Nowitzki doesn't need to make any moves at all, he just pulls up and shoots.

Tucker is short and can't stop Nowitzki at all.

The basketball flew out and then landed accurately into the net.

The ball went in, a very good shot.

Marion was so excited when he saw Nowitzki also shot a three-pointer, "Bai, do you still dare to shoot? Do you know that Dirk also won the three-pointer?"

Bai Yi was too lazy to talk to Marion.

"Hahahaha, you have no fighting spirit today. Are you giving in?"

A moment later, Bai Yi caught the ball again. After he got rid of it, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer, but this time the basketball did not go in.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"puff!"

Sometimes I can make iron, and sometimes I can make progress.

Without turning on three-pointers throughout the game, Bai Yi's three-pointers are far less accurate than during the crazy period.

Bai Yi's family knew about his family affairs, so he naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

The DJ at the scene was extremely excited, "Bai's three-point shooting percentage has dropped. Oh, he is not good this time. We must seize the opportunity and defeat the Timberwolves."

Marion was also very excited, "Bai, are you okay? Do you want to go home and rest?"

Bai Yi glanced at Marion and said, "If you think my shooting percentage is not good, then don't be defensive."

Marion laughed and said, "I will restrict you to the greatest extent. You will definitely not be as good as Dirk today, so just admit defeat."

Before Marion finished speaking, the system sound suddenly sounded, "The system has a temporary task. My personal score in this game exceeds Nowitzki's, and I will be rewarded with two achievement points."

Nowitzki has already scored 26 points, while Bai Yi now only has 13 points, which is exactly half of King Nowitzki's score.

In addition, Nowitzki has always been a very stable player. He is in good condition today and may score more than 50 points in the future.

Scoring higher than Nowitzki is not an easy task.

It's really stingy to only award two achievement points.
