The opening three-pointer in basketball

Westbrook agreed to Bai Yi, and then realized that his shooting was not as good as Bai Yi's.

Just warmed up and kept hitting the iron.

But if it comes time for the game, if he warms up enough and his touch returns, then he still has a chance.

Thinking of this, Westbrook felt much relieved.

Durant saw Bai Yi chatting with Westbrook.

He was a little curious.

In his opinion, Bai Yi won the mvp this season, won the scoring title, won the steal title, and entered the best team, so he is already qualified to be on an equal footing with him.

He didn't understand why Bai Yi didn't talk to him, but chatted with Westbrook.

Is he recruiting Westbrook?

It's impossible, Westbrook is so good, is it for nothing?

Durant was very curious, but he was always concerned about face and was too embarrassed to speak, so he could only think about it foolishly.

Soon after, the substitute players came off the field, and the main players of the two teams stayed on the field.

Timberwolves starting players: Bai Yi, Love, Pekovic, Reggie, and Tucker.

Thunder starting players: Adu, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and Sefolosha.

Apart from these few people on the court, the Timberwolves basically have no available talent.

The Thunder also have Perkins, Robertson, and Hayward, as well as Cook, Collison, Maynor and other practical players.

As far as the team's lineup is concerned, the Thunder completely defeated the Timberwolves.

The predecessor of the Thunder was called the SuperSonics. They failed for several years and ended up with a group of young and powerful players.

The Timberwolves were in trouble for several years before. If it weren't for Bai Yi, they would just be a bunch of crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

In terms of their ability to select rookies, the Thunder's management completely beat the Timberwolves' management.

A moment later, amid the cheers of the fans, the whistle sounded, and the 2011-2012 Western Conference playoff finals officially began.

Ibaka and Pekovic jumped the ball together. Ibaka was young and energetic and easily passed the ball to Durant.

Although the Thunder management believes that Westbrook is his biological son, Durant is his predecessor's biological son and his stepson.

Even head coach Brooks likes Westbrook more.

But the players are not blind. They can see that Durant is more confident, and everyone still prefers to give the ball to Durant.

Adu is very satisfied with the big guy passing the ball to him.

Generally speaking, the first goal of the game should be played by the team boss, just like now.

He then dribbled forward and ran forward. Tucker met him and then continued to pull and slap Adu's arm.

If it were other young players, they would probably complain, but Adu doesn't care at all. He has always been arrogant, only if the opponent is not double-teamed by two people.

He felt that he could solve everything, and that's what he did at this moment, getting inside the three-point line and raising his hand to shoot a two-pointer.

Adu turned around without even looking.

The basketball hits the basket accurately.

It has to be said that Adu's mid-range shooting is second only to Nowitzki, and he is one of the most accurate mid-range players in the league.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. Reggie held the ball and Durant defended. On Baiyi's side, Harden and Westbrook pounced to contain it.

They let Tucker go.

Reggie dribbled the ball carefully while turning his gaze to Bai Yi.

"Bai, don't expect to score easily."

Westbrook bent over and looked at Bai Yi with piercing eyes.

Harden said nothing and stared at Bai Yi with his big eyes.

In fact, the defense of these two people is not very good, but now that the game has just begun, the two of them are still in good spirits.

Bai Yi smiled and then started running. He ran fast and crazy. Westbrook and Harden hurriedly chased Bai Yi.

Both men are very fast physically, and Tucker hurriedly stepped forward to pick and roll.

He blocked Harden.

This is a common defensive problem of the Thunder's three young men. None of the Thunder's three young men are active on the defensive end. Once someone picks and rolls, they will basically not continue to chase.

Before the game, Westbrook made a bet with Bai Yi. Although there was no bet, Westbrook, who had a strong self-esteem, still stubbornly rushed forward.

Bai Yi raised his hand to ask for the ball, quickly received the pass, and then faced Westbrook's defense and threw out a three-pointer.

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

Bai Yi chuckled, he felt that he was in good condition today.

"Westbrook, a ball."

Westbrook glared at Bai Yi, his eyes filled with anger.

"Don't be too happy too early, I will settle the score with you."

After a while, the game continued and it was the Thunder's turn to attack. This time Westbrook held the ball for half the court. Durant raised his hand to ask for the ball, but Westbrook did not pass the ball at all.

Bai Yi came over and said with a chuckle: "Come on, man, if you have the ability, come and break through, or shoot against me."

"Boy, I'll show you the difference."

Westbrook snorted coldly, and then suddenly rushed forward with the ball. His speed was very fast, definitely world-class.

Fortunately, Bai Yi's activation was also top-notch, and he immediately moved sideways and retreated.

After all, Westbrook had the first-mover advantage. He was still slightly faster than Bai Yi. There was a very short shooting time. He jumped up, jumped very high, and then shot from a distance with his hand.

Bai Yi shouted, "Come down."

He shouted very loudly, but it did not affect Westbrook. The basketball still flew up, drew a beautiful arc, and then hit the basket hard.

"Bang!"

The sound of basketball hitting iron is clear and loud.

Ibaka jumped up and then raised his hand for a dunk.

Bai Yi smiled and gave Westbrook a thumbs up, "Man, what a nice assist."

Westbrook was furious. He felt that Bai Yi was insulting him.

"Boy, we were just a little bit close just now."

A moment later, it was the Thunder's turn to attack again. It was still point guard Westbrook holding the ball through half court. Bai Yi rushed over immediately.

Westbrook slapped the basketball with anger in his eyes, "Boy, I will beat you up."

Bai Yi shrugged and shook his head, "Don't just talk, please show your strength and let me see it."

Westbrook snorted coldly, and then suddenly burst into flames. He was like an eagle with spread wings. He rushed up very quickly, and then rushed into the three-point line. This time he was high

Jumped up, jumped to the highest point, and then threw the basketball.

If you look carefully, you will find that Westbrook's shooting action is not standard.

The place where his shooting hand holds the ball is not straight, and the shape of his hand is skewed.

This is the biggest flaw in Westbrook's shooting.

Logically speaking, the Thunder should have already had countermeasures to deal with such an obvious human shortcoming, and should have arranged for professional trainers to correct Westbrook's bad habit.

But no, Westbrook has been in the league for almost four years and he still shoots like this.

To a certain extent, the Thunder management really harmed Westbrook.

At this time, the basketball flew up, still drawing a very obvious arc, but hit the basket hard.

The basketball bounced out, but this time it was not grabbed by Ibaka. The basketball was grabbed by Pekovic.
