The opening three-pointer in basketball

The game finally ended. The Timberwolves beat the Thunder 116:104. The difference between the two teams was twelve points.

The Thunder gave up and replaced the bench. Their bench was much better than the Timberwolves' bench, and they were ahead by eight points.

Bai Yi scored 50 points in this game. As for the Thunder's three young players, Adu scored 32 points, Westbrook scored 10 points, and Harden scored 4 points.

His personal score is higher than the three Thunder players.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the temporary task. The host will be rewarded with five achievement points."

Calculated in this way, Bai Yi's achievement points are one hundred and thirty-seven.

He planned to put it aside for a while and then consider how to use it when he encountered a problem that really couldn't be solved.

In this game, the Thunder's three young players scored far less than usual. Reporters swarmed in, mainly interviewing Harden and Westbrook.

Harden scored four points and Westbrook scored 10 points, both of which are quite embarrassing.

Harden's eyes were droopy and he looked weak.

"I didn't perform well today, I will study it carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

However, Westbrook was still very motivated. He patted his chest and said: "At the beginning of today, Bai and I competed with each other. At that time, I was a little confused. I found that my shooting was not as good as his."

"But I quickly found the right way to play, and I used my strengths later, but the point difference between us was too big at that time."

"But I already have experience. I will not be polite until the next game. We will defeat the Timberwolves and take away a victory in Minnesota."

Durant was standing next to Westbrook. He curled his lips and was speechless.

He felt that if Westbrook didn't come alive in the first quarter, even if they lost, they would still lose by a few points, and they should still be able to compete with the Timberwolves until the end.

But because of Westbrook's invigoration, they fell behind from the beginning.

Durant feels that Westbrook has only one mouth left now.

It would be better for Harden to be honest, leave in a hurry if he doesn't play well, and then be brave after knowing his shame, instead of just bragging here.

Then a reporter found Durant. He glanced at the others and then said: "I think we need to be more honest and watch the game replays carefully, then find out the problems and correct them in the next game."

"So do you think the Thunder have the ability to defeat the Timberwolves?"

"Of course, we are strong, as long as we work hard enough and are humble enough."

Durant is Westbrook in connotation.

Because Durant often watches game replays.

Westbrook never watched it. His own statement was that he was absolutely confident that as long as he performed well, he could win the game.

But Durant felt that Westbrook was afraid of embarrassment.

Because Westbrook makes a lot of mistakes, even though he has just entered the league, he already has a tendency to become the king of mistakes.

This game cannot be said to be exciting, but as you go back and forth, both sides are constantly making changes and adjustments. Once you watch it, you will still feel very nervous and exciting.

Especially Bai Yi's defense in the first half. First he defended Westbrook for one point in the half, and then he defended Harden without losing his temper. He passed the ball when he saw Bai Yi.

His defense has reached a level where it can limit a star player.

After the game, Kobe Bryant tweeted, "Bai's defense is crucial. He is a role model for all young people. Young players must not only learn from his three-pointers, but also learn from his defense."

O'Neal also tweeted, "Defense wins championships and is never wrong. Just like Kobe said, young people must learn this."

In addition to the two of them, many people tweeted, all of them recognized Bai Yi's defensive strength.

There are also many fans and media who did not really approve of the Timberwolves before, but now they feel that the Timberwolves have great potential, and maybe they can really break out of the Western Conference.

Neither Thunder fans nor Heat fans like this statement.

The Thunder want to defeat the Timberwolves, while the Heat are a little afraid of the Timberwolves.

The Heat have three giants. Their lineup structure is somewhat similar to that of the Thunder, but the Heat are more mature and more like a team, and the relationship between the three giants is better.

Heat fans are not afraid of the Thunder, but they are a little worried about the Timberwolves.

After all, Bai Yi's scoring ability is so strong, it's simply scary.

When the Heat face the Timberwolves, it's really hard to say who will win.

…

After the game between the Thunder and the Timberwolves, fans and the media turned their attention to another game, that is, the Hawks and the Heat.

To be honest, if Rose hadn't been injured, it wouldn't have been the Hawks' turn to take the lead.

In other words, the Pacers are not very lucky. With better luck, they would not have met the Heat in the second round, and they should have entered the Eastern Conference finals.

The Hawks are obviously not qualified. The team has no superstars, not even a featured star.

It can be said that there is no topic.

Some live broadcast platforms even do not plan to broadcast it live across the United States because they feel that this game is not worth watching.

Although the Eagles players are not convinced and want to prove themselves very much.

But the Heat are not young people like the Thunder. They are a group of veterans and have stable minds.

The Heat's Big Three didn't care about the outside world's opinions at all. They still did what they should do and prepared for the game seriously.

When it came time to compete, I was very focused.

From the first half of the first quarter, the Heat established their lead.

The Heat's lineup structure is really good.

They have to defend and defend, and they have to attack and attack. They have people for positional battles, and they also have people for counterattacks and blitzes.

It can be said that they are the team with the most reasonable player configuration in the league.

Like the Spurs, they are good both inside and outside, but the team is too old and can't get up to speed. It always slows down as it plays.

For example, the Pacers are good defensively, but not good offensively. It can be said that they just don't have it.

There is also the Thunder, which looks good, but Durant, Westbrook, and Harden have very bad defensive habits.

They may be able to play well for a short period of time, but in the long run, poor defensive habits will inevitably make them passive again and again.

Of the Heat's Big Three, Bosh is a bit weak in the paint, but he has quick feet and can sometimes help defend the outside line, and James can also support the inside line. This flaw can basically be ignored.

This time in the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat had established their lead, and then they suddenly went fast, then slowly, suddenly loosened and suddenly tightened their defense, causing the Hawks to spin around.

At the end of the first half, the Heat led by fifteen points.

The lead is not that big, but it's not that the Heat can't lead by more, it's just that Spoelstra is experimenting with new tactics.

He is a little depressed now because he doesn't know who will win between the Timberwolves and the Thunder.

As a result, they played very easily, but they are not sure who their opponent will be in the finals. Now they can only guard the Thunder and Timberwolves and experiment with relevant techniques and tactics.

The Hawks players and coaches are very angry. They feel that they are not playing in the Eastern Conference Finals, but a sparring partner.

But there's nothing they can do. The gap in strength is huge. It would be good if they don't get swept this time.
