The opening three-pointer in basketball

"Hahahaha, I'm going to add chicken legs tonight."

"Get out of here, Timberwolves. Why are you so arrogant? The Grizzlies can defeat the Timberwolves."

"Oh, the Timberwolves are finished. It's a shame, but they don't have any hope."

"Oh my God, the Timberwolves are finished. Bai shouldn't be in the Timberwolves. He should go to pursue his dream elsewhere."

"The championship this season belongs to the Heat, and the Timberwolves are simply not worthy enough."

"You are so shameless. Just wait, the Timberwolves will take revenge."

A group of netizens saw Morris Jr. injured. Many people anticipated the Timberwolves' next predicament, and many fans gloated.

At the Minnesota Target Center, players from both teams returned to the bench.

Adelman's old face almost collapsed. The Timberwolves' biggest shortcoming is their thin lineup.

He originally thought he could last for a few games, but he didn't expect that the worst situation would come so soon.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Although the Timberwolves were once surpassed by the Spurs in the second half of the season, anyone who has watched the game knows that the Timberwolves are stronger in the second half of the season.

The biggest change is that the team's defense is much better.

In the first half of the season, the Timberwolves' defense was poor, often allowing their opponents to score more than 110 points.

In the second half of the season, their defense improved and their strength improved a lot. They could often clock in three quarters and suppress the opponent's score to less than 100 points.

Now that Morris is gone, the Timberwolves' perimeter defense will inevitably drop to a lower level.

Adelman plans to discuss it with Bai Yi.

After all, Bai Yi is the core player of the Timberwolves. "Bai, under the current situation, we have two options. One is to arrange for Love to play power forward and Tucker to play small forward."

"The second is to arrange for Chambers to play small forward, while the other players' positions remain unchanged."

Chambers is an unknown player who was recruited from the Development League by the Timberwolves. He is someone who specializes in playing in garbage time.

Chambers' defense is about the same as Love's, almost zero.

And he hasn't attacked yet.

Bai Yi didn't hesitate and chose the first option.

"Coach, let's let Love play. In this case, at least our perimeter defense can still be done."

There is absolutely no problem with Tucker's defense.

He is good at confrontation and can defend power forwards in the interior. However, he is short and suffers a bit in defensive shooting. In other aspects, he is not inferior even in rebounding. Tucker averages seven rebounds per game.

Let Tucker play small forward, and at least the Timberwolves' three outside players are absolutely reliable.

But if this is the case, Pekovic can only rely on one person inside, and there is a high probability that he will be beaten by Xiaojia and Randolph.

But there are always trade-offs.

It's impossible to do everything perfectly.

Adelman nodded, and then announced his decision.

He also comforted Pekovic, saying that he did not need to force himself, he could just do what he could.

Bai Yi looked at his teammates quietly without saying anything.

After a while, the players from both teams returned to the court together.

The Timberwolves had the ball. Gay glanced at Bai Yi and couldn't help but said: "Bai, if you come to the Grizzlies, we can definitely build a dynasty team."

Bai Yi's style and characteristics only need to have one strong point inside, such as Howard or Chandler, both inside and outside, to copy the Lakers of Kobe O'Neal.

Not to mention the Grizzlies have two great insiders in Kawhi and Randolph.

There is also an elite defense like Allen on the outside.

If he goes to the Grizzlies, he really has the possibility of winning three consecutive championships and establishing a dynasty.

But Bai Yi doesn't like hugging his thighs.

He shook his head, "I can build a dynasty by myself."

Reggie held the ball at this time, and Bai Yi started running. Allen and Guy hurriedly chased Bai Yi, but the two couldn't keep an eye on Bai Yi. He quickly got rid of the two people and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.

.

The basketball flew into Bai Yi's hands in the next second. He caught the ball and dribbled it, then raised his hand for a three-pointer.

Kang Li rushed over and tried her best to defend.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the rim hard and bounced out.

Bai Yi hasn't used any skills so far, and his hit rate is about 40%.

Guy and Allen just rushed over at this time. Seeing that the three-pointer was not scored, Guy breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Bai, you have no confidence anymore."

Bai Yi rolled his eyes at Guy, "You will see me shoot a three-pointer."

It was the Grizzlies' turn to attack. Kang Li held the ball, and Bai Yi rushed over immediately.

Since the three-point deterrent effect is not that strong now, we must work hard on the defensive end.

But Kang Li was scared by Bai Yi before. When he saw Bai Yi, he hurriedly passed the basketball.

Gay caught the ball and Tucker was defending.

Gay continuously changed directions, made continuous fake moves, and dribbled flying, but Tucker was very focused.

And Tucker's mouth also likes to beep all the time.

From time to time, he stretched out his hands to pull Guy's hands.

Only then did Gay realize that Tucker was also a master of defense. Seeing that he had no chance, he subconsciously returned the ball to Kang Li.

"Oops."

Kang Li saw the basketball fly past, but before her body could react, Bai Yi shot it out like a sharp arrow.

"Crack!"

Bai Yi intercepted the ball easily, then quickly dropped the ball with the ball, stopped outside the three-point line, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

There is no one to defend, so Baiyi shooting three-pointers is shooting training.

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

Hollins yelled on the sidelines, "Don't make mistakes, be careful."

Finally, because of Morris Jr.'s injury, the Grizzlies seemed to have the upper hand.

Now there is such a counterattack three-pointer, which hurts morale too much.

Hollins grabbed Guy's ear and asked him.

Have you forgotten the fear of being intercepted by Bai Yi?

Only then did Gay realize that in the last game, Bai Yi played against the Grizzlies and made twelve steals. It was really terrifying.

He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "It was my fault and I will correct it."

The game continued, and once again it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, but Bai Yi still defended Kang Li.

This time he pounced early, sticking close to Kang Li, defending like Kobe.

Seeing Bai Yi rushing over, Kang Li hurriedly turned around.

Use your body to block Bai Yi, and then dribble the ball carefully.

Guy stepped forward to pick and roll, and Kang Li immediately went around. As a result, he found that Bai Yi was faster than him and bypassed Guy even more quickly.

What kind of pick-and-roll is this? Kang Li was speechless after blocking a lonely player, and then hurriedly turned her back again.

Kang Li patted the ball and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she felt Bai Yi being blocked by him.

At this moment, Bai Yi suddenly bent over and pulled forward.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound.

He caught the basketball from the side.

This is the advantage of long arms. Bai Yi then passed the ball to Reggie who was about to leave, and the latter caught the ball and scored a layup.

Bai Yi continued to work hard on the defensive end. Originally, the Grizzlies were already leading by two points, but now they were three points behind.

Hollins shouted urgently, "Be careful, give me such care, he is the best defensive player this season."
