The opening three-pointer in basketball

"beep!"

When the whistle sounded, no one from the Grizzlies caught the ball and didn't pass the ball for five seconds.

Technical foul against the Grizzlies.

Hollins put his hands on his hips, speechless and helpless, sad and unwilling.

When the Timberwolves easily scored a three-pointer, he immediately called a timeout.

The players came over dejectedly.

The on-site DJ loudly taunted the Grizzlies, making the players even more frustrated.

Hollins thought that the chicken soup before was useless, and realized that he should try another method.

Maybe he can afford it.

Reverse motivation for players.

As the saying goes, a sad soldier will win.

After the players were ready, he then whispered: "Our current situation is very bad. We faced the Timberwolves four times in the regular season, and we lost all four games. We were beaten 4-0 by the Timberwolves."

"Now that the playoffs are here, we will probably still be 4-0."

"Losing eight games to the same team in one season should be a record."

The players lowered their heads, seemingly not understanding what Hollins said.

Hollins felt ashamed, but he planned to have a good talk with the players this time. Since what he just said didn't work, he would increase his intensity.

"After the end of last season, we didn't make much signings. At that time, everyone felt that we were going in the right direction."

"Even the clubs think so."

"But judging from the results this season, our ceiling is the second round of the playoffs."

"There's no way we can compete with the Timberwolves, Thunder, or Spurs."

"Maybe after the end of this season, the team will be reorganized. In other words, this playoffs may be our last chance for a decisive battle."

"In the summer, we will go our separate ways."

Everyone was a little moved when they heard this.

After all, they are all top players.

People like Durant, James, and Bai Yi can eat meat wherever they go.

But they really can't do it, they don't have the resources.

When Hollins saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart and decided to further increase his efforts.

"Guys, I'm sorry to work with you, but I don't have the ability to lead you further."

"Now we have to be humiliated by other teams in the league, become a bad record in the league, and become a stepping stone on the Timberwolves' beautiful resume."

"It's all my fault. I'm not good enough and I delayed everyone."

The players were even more excited after hearing what Hollins said.

Xiaojia said that he will definitely go all out and will never let the league look down upon him.

Randolph and other players also expressed their opinions.

Hollins was satisfied with the result of this reverse chicken soup.

But then he noticed that Guy seemed to still be a little silent.

Hollins wondered if Guy wasn't exciting enough.

He walked over and patted Guy on the shoulder pretending to be sentimental, "Man, if you are tired, you can take a rest."

Guy still didn't respond.

Hollins was puzzled, and then he couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "If you don't want to fight, I can ask Mayo to replace you, and I will always replace you in the future."

Only then did Guy come back to his senses.

Hollins looked at him in shock, and then hurriedly said that he would go all out.

Hollins curled his lips and secretly scolded Guy for not being polite, and then felt that he had learned a trick.

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

Still, Mayo held the ball past halftime.

Bai Yi ignored Mayo at all. Mayo had just been deeply inspired. At this time, he had no way to vent his emotions and could only release them on basketball.

He then ignored Xiaojia's gesture of raising his hand for the ball, raised his hand and threw out a three-pointer.

Without anyone to defend him, Mayo's shooting action is still very handsome.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and landed steadily on the court.

Mayo was a little excited and waved his hand vigorously.

A moment later, it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack again, and it was Mayo again. He was patting the basketball, already angry in his heart.

Bai Yi still didn't defend him specifically, but stared at Guy.

Mayo raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up, drew an arc, and passed through the net with a swish sound.

He actually scored again.

Mayo became even more excited, waving his fists and roaring.

Twenty seconds later, it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack again. This time, Mayo had not passed halftime, and Bai Yi came forward.

Mayo was panicked when he thought of the previous dilemma of being defended by Bai Yi, and then passed the ball to Allen on the side.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Allen patted the basketball, found a rhythm, and then raised his hand for a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up and then hit the rim hard. After bouncing on the rim a few times, it actually managed to score.

Hollins' misfortune just now did have some effects.

The players obviously have emotions in their hearts. They are even more angry and want to release their energy.

The shooting percentage suddenly became much higher.

But the Timberwolves are not afraid either.

Because under the leadership of Bai Yi and the cheering of the home fans, the morale of the Timberwolves was higher.

Therefore, the Timberwolves also scored fiercely.

Bai Yi, Tucker, Reggie, shot three-pointers, Pekovic grabbed points from the basket, and Love's mid-range shot.

Although Love is not good at defense, as long as he has the basketball in hand, he has many ways to score.

Hard to guard against.

Both Kevin Garnett and Randolph are defensive masters, but they still can't guard Love.

The happiest people are the fans watching the game.

The two teams competing for points is still very interesting to watch.

O'Neal was a little confused.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies couldn't connect the ball, and the entire team had no backbone.

It looked like a big defeat was inevitable, but I never expected that the Grizzlies would do well again.

"It seems that the timeout just now was very effective. What did Hollins say?"

Barkley rolled his eyes at O'Neal and said, "Fat man, don't think about this. They won't tell us. This is a business secret."

Except for a very few NBA head coaches, most of them are veterans of chicken soup.

Celtics head coach Doc Rivers is even more of a master at this.

The Celtics have faced some dangerous situations many times.

It was Rivers who encouraged the players with his words and made them work hard to get through it.

Their words are naturally very important. This lesson is about practicing the secrets of the alliance.

Kenny Smith laughed, "The Grizzlies players do feel much better now, but it's not enough. These players are not superstars. I don't believe they can play chicken blood for a whole game. The most they can do is

One session.”

"Just wait, they won't be able to do it in the third quarter."

In fact, this is the biggest difference between ordinary players and superstars.

Many times, some ordinary players can occasionally score thirty points in a game, but this is not about strength, but more about luck.

Kenny Smith's words still make sense.

However, this game is quite special. It's really hard to say whether the Grizzlies players can maintain their shooting percentage.
