The opening three-pointer in basketball

Because they are not sure who their next opponent will be, the Timberwolves are also in a dilemma.

We can only give the players a holiday and let them practice by themselves every day and maintain their competitive state.

Bai Yi stayed at home these days.

An advertiser wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to shoot an advertisement with him, but he refused.

He is watching the Heat, Thunder, and Spurs games.

The Heat quickly eliminated the Knicks 4-1.

The Knicks really want to be strong and use their willpower to play the game.

But the Heat lost the championship last season, and everyone is still eager to win.

So in the end we still have to fight hard.

In this regard, the Knicks are no match at all.

The Knicks' biggest problem is not their offense or defense, but that their pace is too slow, and the team doesn't even have a fast-break facilitator.

The Knicks were unable to take advantage of many defensive counterattack opportunities.

Give the Knicks Irving, and the Knicks can take off. Not to mention whether they can beat the Heat, at least they will have a chance to win.

As for beating a team with weak scoring ability like the Bulls and Pacers, that's even more difficult.

The Thunder also ended the first round of the game cleanly with a score of 4-1.

In the last game at Staples, the Thunder actually encountered special criticism from the referee, but the Thunder's three young men exploded.

The referee couldn't stop it. In the end, the Thunder clocked out the third quarter and eliminated the Clippers.

Less than two hours after the Thunder's game ended, the Spurs also eliminated the Nuggets.

Under such circumstances, the Thunder and Spurs became the first teams to determine their opponents in the second round, and they will also be the first to start the second round.

Three more days later, the other first round games were finally over.

The Timberwolves also know their opponent, and that is the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies had no help from the referees, fought hard for seven games, and finally defeated the Lakers 4-3.

In addition to the Grizzlies, the top four in the Eastern Conference are also out, namely the Heat, Bulls, Pacers and Hawks.

The Celtics failed to survive in the end, and they lost to the young Hawks.

Of course, for the Timberwolves, teams in the Eastern Conference are too far away, and their first consideration now should be the Grizzlies in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves and the Grizzlies met four times in the regular season, with the Timberwolves sweeping the Grizzlies 4-0.

Although the Grizzlies are very strong, in the eyes of the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies are not strong offensively and can only rely on scoring inside.

The Timberwolves are not very afraid of such a team.

Therefore, Timberwolves fans are still very confident.

After determining their opponents in the second round, many fans and media who supported the Timberwolves simply ignored the Grizzlies and began to look forward to the Western Conference Finals.

In their view, Bai Yi can reach the Western Conference finals this season. It is really that one year has served Garnett for ten years, which makes people feel very moved.

It's actually not just Minnesota fans who think this way.

Many media fans in other places are also more optimistic about the Timberwolves.

The TNT trio dedicated a program to discuss the promotion situation of the Western Conference.

In the Thunder and Spurs group, the three of them talked enthusiastically. Some supported the Thunder, while others supported the Spurs.

As for the Timberwolves and Grizzlies group, all three people support the Timberwolves.

"The Grizzlies are really not good at scoring. They don't have the strength to compete head-on with the Timberwolves."

This is how most people think about grizzly bears.

It can be said that grizzly bears are looked down upon by everyone.

…

Memphis Grizzlies practice facility.

Mark Sol and Tony Allen are still training.

The other players have already left, but the two of them have not left because both of them have to practice three-pointers.

Although Gasol is an inside player, he can also shoot three-pointers.

This is a beautiful country, or a very good point for European basketball.

When they were young, they would not specifically determine which position a certain player played.

At this time, the young players practice freely.

Whether it is Xiaojia or Dajia, they were actually guards when they were young. They practiced ball control and breakthrough shooting.

Later, when they got taller, they switched to playing inside.

So many European post players can shoot three-pointers.

Marciano's three-point shooting rate is 37%, which is considered a passing level in the league.

Needless to say, Tony Allen is the best 3D player in the league right now. He can shoot three-pointers and can defend.

In fact, the two of them don't really like to practice extra. They used to practice extra occasionally.

But this time I felt angry.

Unable to vent, I thought of using additional exercises to vent the frustration in my heart.

Twenty minutes later, the two of them sat together panting.

Tony Allen glanced at Xiaojia and then smiled: "Are you feeling better?"

Xiaojia shook his head, "I'm still very depressed, man. I hate this feeling. It's not just our opponents, we are looked down upon by everyone."

"Are the Timberwolves really that strong? Are Bai more terrifying than Kobe?"

Allen glanced at Kevin Garfield and sighed, "The Timberwolves are really strong. They swept us in the regular season. We were two to two with the Lakers in the regular season."

"Bai is also stronger than Kobe. Bai is a rising star, while Kobe has slowly declined."

Xiaojia was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Allen was trying to increase the prestige of others. "You think too highly of them. They are just a group of new recruits, that is, a group of old men from the Mavericks. If it were us, we would definitely restrict them."

"In that case, why are you so angry?"

Xiaojia turned his head and ignored Allen.

He knew that although he denied it, the Timberwolves' tank team had really undergone earth-shaking changes because of Bai Yi's joining.

The Timberwolves are very powerful now.

First place in the regular season standings and the only team to go 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs.

Although the opponents were a group of old men, this group of old men defeated the surging Heat and won the championship last year.

If it were another team, they would be able to beat the Mavericks, but it wouldn't be that easy.

Nowitzki averaged 34 points per game in this series, absolutely outstanding.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks can be said to have fully demonstrated the strength of the Timberwolves.

Their defense may be average, but their offense is definitely the best in the league.

But I understand, Xiaojia is still very unhappy.

He hated this feeling of being looked down upon by everyone, it made him feel useless.

When he was in Xibanya, he won all the honors.

European champions of national teams, European champions of clubs, champions of domestic leagues.

He was very high-spirited.

Now when he came to the NBA, he had to be suppressed by a rookie. He was unwilling and unconvinced.

He vowed that he must show his strength this time, let everyone see that the Grizzlies are not weaklings, they will capsize the Timberwolves in the gutter, and embarrass Bai Yi, the new MVP.

"Let's go. You must rest well these days and don't get hurt."

"I don't care if I get hurt, I want to beat the Timberwolves."
