The opening three-pointer in basketball

Although the achievement points rewarded by the system are really few, they are better than nothing.

In fact, Bai Yi didn't dare to give up in this match.

Regardless of whether there are system rewards or not, he will go all out to win the Mavericks.

In the playoffs, the difference between two to one and three to zero is very big.

A two-to-one score only means that both sides won at their respective home courts.

And three to zero means that one team has an overwhelming advantage.

In the decades of development of the NBA league, there have been only a few cases where a team that was at a disadvantage in a three-to-0 series finally came back.

There are no more than ten such examples.

This shows how incredible it is when you are three games behind and want to come back four consecutive games.

As long as the Timberwolves win this game, it is basically certain that they can advance to the second round.

Once the Mavericks win this game, the outcome is really hard to say.

The Mavericks might be able to hold on for a few more games, but even if the Timberwolves advance, it won't be too comfortable.

Many media have analyzed that the Timberwolves' biggest flaw is that their lineup is thin and cannot withstand losses.

So they must work hard to win the game.

End the game with the Mavericks as soon as possible.

In this case, Timberwolves players can get more recovery time.

Bai Yi knows this very well, and he will naturally go all out.

Of course, it's not the critical moment yet, but it's just the second quarter, and Bai Yi feels that he doesn't need to work hard for the time being.

Now the focus is still on consumption, allowing the Mavericks players to further consume more physical energy.

The game continued, and no matter how loud Marion and the on-site DJ beeped, Bai Yi remained very calm.

If you can score goals, score goals. If you can't score goals, you won't be sad.

After all, he also has full long-range shooting ability. With only Marion defending alone, he still created many opportunities, and his scoring continued to increase.

Compared with the first quarter, Baiyi's score increased much faster in the second quarter.

Marion saw it and thought that Bai Yi was going to explode.

He was anxious and kept provoking Bai Yi, making more small moves, but he couldn't stop Bai Yi at all.

Bai Yi is still the same as before, continuing to increase his points.

Finally, at the end of the second quarter, the Timberwolves beat the Mavericks 61:65. The Timberwolves were four points behind.

Baiyi scored a total of 21 points in the first half, while Nowitzki had already scored 32 points.

Because of Bai Yi's performance in the second half of the second quarter, the score difference between the two was slightly closer.

…

"Wow, look for a game where Dirk plays like crazy. Will he beat the Timberwolves?"

"I'm afraid you're overthinking it. Bai didn't give it his all. Just watch, the Timberwolves took away the game in a wave in the second half."

"I don't like the Timberwolves, I hope the Mavericks can win the game."

"I am optimistic that the Timberwolves and Heat will win in the end. These two teams are very strong."

"Are you crazy? Come on Dirk. I applaud you in New York. We all support the Mavericks."

"Hahahaha, Bai is going to show off his power in the second half."

Many fans are discussing this game, and they are still very confident in the big guy Baiyi.

Many fans thought Baiyi would explode in the second half.

In the home team lounge at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Carlisle talked excitedly about techniques and tactics.

The players gathered in a circle and sat listening to Carlisle.

Nowitzki is the same as his teammates, but in fact his mind is not here at all.

What he was thinking about was Bai Yi.

Nowitzki has watched many Timberwolves games and has carefully studied Bai Yi.

Just like the previous two duels, at the target center of Minnesota, Bai Yi didn't break out in the first half. He suddenly broke out in the second half. His three-pointers were really accurate, and a wave of flow opened up the relationship.

Mavericks point differential.

Nowitzki is now thinking about what he should do to prevent Baiyi from breaking out.

He thought of many ways, but in the end they all felt unreliable.

Carlisle also noticed that Nowitzki was a little distracted.

He was still very satisfied with this disciple.

A moment later, Carlisle and Nowitzki came to the players' tunnel together. Carlisle asked each other why he had deserted just now.

Nowitzki told the truth. He finally said: "Coach, I'm not sure if I can continue to score points. I'm not sure now."

"This is indeed a problem."

Nowitzki noticed it, and Carlisle naturally noticed it a long time ago.

He knew very well that Baiyi might score again in the second half, scoring three-pointers in a flurry.

He didn't tell the players because he couldn't stop Bai Yi.

The Mavericks' defensive resources are really terrible.

Other teams can defend two against one, but the Mavericks really can't.

He didn't dare tell the truth to the players, lest they affect morale.

Of course, as a championship coach and an old man in the league, he has seen a lot and sees clearly.

"Dirk, we must accept the basic phenomenon of new people rising and old people declining. This is an unchanging principle in this world."

"You work hard, don't regret it, it's enough. As for the result of the game, let God handle it in the end."

Nowitzki looked at Carlisle blankly, and finally nodded.

Just like Carlyle said, we must recognize and accept this.

A moment later, the two returned to the court. Nowitzki, who faced the reality calmly, was not negative. He was even faintly accumulating stronger energy.

Soon after, the team leader called them to play.

Nowitzki returned to the court with his teammates.

"mvp,mvp,mvp."

The fans shouted wildly, and Nowitzki raised his hand and waved.

The fans shouted louder.

Nowitzki chuckled and nodded.

He really took Carlisle's word for it, guys like them.

Even those as strong as Kobe are regressing now.

But he was not afraid, he felt that his hand was warmer now.

After a while, the game officially started, and the Mavericks had the ball.

I remember holding the ball for half the game, Nowitzki then raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Kidd immediately passed the ball over.

King Nuotian caught the ball and Tucker followed.

Nowitzki patted the ball, and then he suddenly dribbled back and easily got out of the shooting space. Nowitzki then raised his hand for a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and flew into the net.

"puff!"

Nice three points.

Nowitzki is also a person who has won the three-point championship. His three-pointers are soft and beautiful.

Nowitzki clenched his fists and then waved vigorously at the fans.

O'Neal exclaimed: "Dirk seems different. He feels more confident and calm."

Barkley nodded, "Hahaha, the game is great. Dirk will definitely score points with Bai Biao. I believe both of them will score more than 50 points in this game."

Kenny Smith is still thinking about the Knicks, "I hope Anthony can stand up like Dirk."
