The opening three-pointer in basketball

Brooks called timeout again.

He had to call a timeout. If he didn't timeout, he was afraid that his team would lose all morale and lose completely.

Bai Yi is too ruthless now, not giving the Thunder any chance to relax. It explodes as soon as the second half begins, which is too difficult to handle.

He originally thought that Baiyi's three-point shooting percentage dropped in the second quarter because of Robertson's defense.

As a result, Bai Yi was severely slapped in the face in the third quarter. Bai Yi was not afraid of Robertson at all.

Facts have proved that his hand dropped in the second quarter.

But Bai Yi's touch came back in the third quarter.

Now that the three-pointer went in, Bai Yi became the most eye-catching kid on the entire court.

After the players returned to the bench, Brooks asked Robertson to rest and arranged for Harden to return to the game.

He then said: "Guys, I'm sorry to tell you that my prediction in the first half was wrong. Bai's condition is still very good. With his current condition, it will be difficult for us to beat them with normal means."

"But the Timberwolves also have weaknesses. Their interior defense is not good, and we have the strongest rim-rushing ability in the league."

When it comes to rushing the frame, the first person that most fans think of is undoubtedly James.

Lao Zhan really couldn't stop the train when he rushed, and his three-and-a-half-step layup was unstoppable.

But to say that the team with the strongest rushing ability in the league is undoubtedly the Thunder.

The Heat only have two people, LeBron James and Wade who can hit the frame.

There is only one person on the Lakers, and that is Kobe.

There is only one person on the Bulls, and that is Rose.

The Thunder have three people, Westbrook, Harden, and Durant, who all have very strong frame-rushing abilities.

In this regard, the Alliance is unbeatable.

Brooks continued: "Now it's time for us to fight the Timberwolves hand-to-hand. Don't think that we can easily defeat the Thunder. We have to rush up and attack the Thunder's shortcomings."

The players nodded.

Only Harden had a look of hesitation on his face.

Brooks walked over and asked in a low voice: "Man, what's wrong with you?"

Harden's size is very good among defenders. He can match up with 99% of the defenders in the league, like Reggie or Kang Li.

Harden doesn't even need to pick up speed, he can just use his strong body to push past.

There are very few defenders in the league who can stop Harden on the perimeter. Kobe, Wade, and Westbrook are probably the three.

Westbrook may be on the same team as him.

Brooks doesn't think it will be difficult for Harden to get out of the frame.

Harden looked at the others and said, "Can we let the fight go?"

Seeing this, Brooks immediately understood what Harden meant.

In fact, in these two games, the Thunder seemed to be led away by Bai Yi.

They spent too much energy on Bai Yi.

In fact, the three young men of the Thunder have not completely let go of the game.

This greatly limits the performance of the Thunder's three young men.

Brooks nodded hurriedly, "Of course, all of us support you."

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

The Thunder had the ball, Westbrook held the ball past halftime, and Bai Yi stepped forward to defend.

Westbrook patted the ball and suddenly rushed up. He was very fast. With a bang, Bai Yi and Westbrook collided.

Westbrook just shook, then ran forward, passed Bai Yi, and rushed to the basket. He jumped up and collided with Love.

Love, the inside man, can't handle Westbrook, the outside man.

Westbrook knocked Love away and then dunked with one hand.

"boom!"

There was a dull sound of exploding frames in the stadium.

Westbrook landed on the ground, looking excited, punching and roaring.

After another moment, the Thunder attacked again, and this time Westbrook passed the ball to Harden.

Reggie defended Harden, Harden raised his arms, and then suddenly rushed.

Reggie stepped forward to defend, but was pushed away by Harden's arm.

Harden passed Reggie and then came down quickly. Love stepped forward to defend. Harden passed the ball to Sefolosha, who caught the ball and scored with a dunk.

Westbrook and Harden have shown their skills, and Durant will naturally not hide his clumsiness.

A moment later, the Thunder had the ball again, and Westbrook gave the ball to Durant.

Durant patted the basketball, and then suddenly started. He took a long step, passed Tucker, then blitzed to the basket, and dunked with both hands to score.

This is the strength of the Thunder's third young master.

There are really very few players in the league who can rush the frame, and Bai Yi generally doesn't rush the frame.

For example, Reggie can only be said to have above-average frame-rushing ability and can deal with some relatively ordinary outside players.

As for the Thunder's three young players, all three have the league's best rim-rushing abilities. They can deal with more than 99% of the league's defensive players.

The impact strength of such a Thunder Young Master can be imagined.

Brooks stood on the sidelines, clenching his fists excitedly.

He discovered that he was wrong from the beginning.

He always thinks about restricting Bai Yi instead of taking advantage of his team's advantages.

Bai Yi is indeed very powerful, but is he more powerful than the Third Young Master of Thunder?

The three young masters are all talented at a historical level. There is no reason that three people cannot beat one person.

The current competition situation further confirmed his thoughts, they were no worse than anyone else.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. They were going to break out of the Western Conference this season, advance to the finals, and compete with the Heat's Big Three.

The game continued, and the three young men from the Thunder, who no longer cared about anything and vowed to give it their all and give it a try, burst out with very powerful energy.

They have a mediocre touch, but rush the frame like crazy.

In the second half of the third quarter of the two teams, the situation reversed slightly, with the Timberwolves not scoring as many points as the Thunder.

As a result, at the end of the third quarter, the two teams' total scores were tied.

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal clapped his hands and said: "Oh, Westbrook's shot just now was so beautiful. He is really amazing. Watching him play has a passion that no one else has."

"Yes, this is the charm of Westbrook. He is full of passion and is always running crazy."

Barkley added.

"Three of the Thunder's three players can now score directly with almost every impact. Even if they don't score, they can still get free throws. This is too fatal for the Timberwolves."

"Even if Bai is strong defensively, he can't stop three people by himself."

"Now the Timberwolves must grit their teeth and persist. Bai's three-pointer cannot be missed, otherwise, the Timberwolves will be overtaken."

Kenny Smith followed up and said: "No, even if we are in a stalemate now, it will not be good for the Timberwolves in the end. After all, the Thunder have three young people. At the critical moment, they have more choices, and the Timberwolves only have Bai.

"

"It's best for the Timberwolves not to play key games with the Thunder. They have too great an advantage in this regard."

The Thunder have three young players who can make key plays, while the Timberwolves only have Bai Yi.

One is guarding three people, and the other is guarding one person. You can imagine which one is more difficult and which one is easier.

In fact, no one in the entire league wants to play key games with the Thunder. The Thunder have too great an advantage in this regard.
