The opening three-pointer in basketball

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal analyzed the first half of the game.

"We were surprised to find that the point difference between the two teams was a bit big, and for the Timberwolves, Bai didn't seem to have any outstanding contributions."

"This is actually a layman's view."

"If you study the first half carefully, you will find that Bai defended Westbrook at first, and then when Westbrook left the game, he defended Harden."

"He's been disrupting the Thunder point guard."

"This is very critical. Because of Bai's interference, the Thunder team has not been fighting as a whole. They are all playing in singles. The inside line is obviously very obvious, but it is only used when Harden is in charge. At other times, even

They don’t even pass the ball inside.”

"Under such circumstances, what should the Thunder do to win?"

Barkley nodded, "Yes, Bai's role was crucial in the first half. He made it impossible for the Thunder to unite as one force. The Thunder players have been fighting on their own."

"Whether it's Harden or Westbrook, they should learn Bai Yi's style of play. This is a mature point guard."

Kenny Smith was very disappointed, "I thought this game would be like Mars hitting the earth, a close match, but I didn't expect that it would be a one-sided advantage for the Timberwolves."

"And the Timberwolves didn't perform too well. The Thunder really disappointed me."

Many netizens and fans have seen the analysis of the tnt trio, and they have also left messages saying that Baiyi played a huge role in disrupting the Thunder's offense in the first half.

On the other side, in the visiting team's lounge, Brooks no longer understood why his side was so far behind after the Timberwolves' performance was so mediocre in the first half.

This matter was a difficult problem for him.

At this moment, the team leader came in and showed Brooks the analysis of the TNT trio. Only then did Brooks understand that Jiang Bo had indeed constantly interfered with the point guard in the first half.

Especially after Bai Yi chose to defend Harden instead of Westbrook.

It's because Westbrook only plays in isolation and doesn't know how to organize.

Can't drive the team like Harden.

This is especially important.

Brooks frowned, so what else can we do now?

They are all 20 points behind.

What should I do to chase points?

He then thought about the third and fourth games he had won before.

In the third game, the referee dismissed the game, and in the fourth game, the three young men's hands exploded.

Thinking about the state of the players in the first half just now, I was not excited at all.

Everyone talks nonsense before the game, why can’t they do it during the game?

Would it be bad if it could only happen in Ohio?

The tiebreaker is in Minnesota.

Brooks felt that he could not just admit defeat. He thought for a while and then said seriously: "Guys, we must work harder. We are the Thunder. Our goal is to compete for the championship. We must not lose to the Timberwolves here."

"Now even if we fall behind, we have to keep running, we have to work hard, and we have to consume the Timberwolves' potential."

"This way we can gain an advantage in the next series."

You can count the number of players the Timberwolves can play on two fingers.

Their biggest shortcoming is the lack of depth in their lineup.

Under such circumstances, if another Timberwolves player like Morris is injured, then the Timberwolves can basically go home.

Of course, you can't say this directly, you can only let the players fight for it.

Thunder players are relatively simple, but if they were Spurs players, I'm afraid they would understand immediately.

The Thunder players had no impact. They thought it was chicken soup.

Although I think this chicken soup is very ordinary, everyone is a passionate young man, and they still want to work hard and try to defeat the Timberwolves.

After the chicken soup, Brooks found Westbrook again and told him to pass the ball more and stop rushing in.

He also found Harden and told Harden to consume Baiyi, not to avoid physical contact, and to compete with Baiyi intentionally.

Although Brooks often favors his godfather Westbrook and has little technical and tactical contribution, in general, he is a good old man in the team.

Except for Durant, all other players have a good impression of him.

What he said at this time was recognized by many players.

…

At the Minnesota Target Center, players from both teams returned to the court and the third quarter officially began.

The Thunder players had gone through the chicken soup during the halftime break. At this time, every one of them seemed to have taken stimulants, shooting crazy shots.

"boom!"

"boom"

"boom!"

The basketball hit the rim like nothing but money, making a dull sound.

Yes, when you are not in good shape and you are so obsessed with shooting, the results will only get worse.

Just like the current Thunder team, the basketball hits the frame so loudly, but it has no effect.

It's really just listening to a sound.

The Timberwolves players thought it was funny when they saw it, but they soon stopped laughing.

Because the Thunder players fought so hard for the ball, especially the half-ball, they wanted to hit the opposing Timberwolves players with bloody heads.

Under such circumstances, Timberwolves players naturally would not collide too closely with Thunder players, and they avoided many balls.

Therefore, judging from the momentum in the second half, it seems that the Thunder are in the lead and the Timberwolves are lagging behind.

The Thunder grabbed the basketball and had several more offenses, but they really didn't feel good today and couldn't convert it into points.

The result was that the basketball hit the rim again, and it was still very loud as before.

According to later statistics, the Thunder shot a total of 25 times in the third quarter and only scored eight goals.

The score between the two teams was the Timberwolves 30:23 Thunder.

After the third quarter, the Forest Leader already led by 27 points.

According to the previous rules, one team usually surrendered, and then both teams replaced their main players.

At this time, Adelman was afraid that the players would be injured, so before the Thunder could make substitutions, the Forest team took the lead in making substitutions.

He actually looked down on the Thunder a little bit like this, but he did it anyway.

Brooks was planning to let the main force continue to consume the Timberwolves. Seeing that Adelman was so ungrateful, the Thunder came on the bench before admitting defeat.

He couldn't help being very angry, and then he obediently replaced the main players.

It's not that Brooks doesn't want to fight anymore.

But now that someone is on the bench and he is still working hard at this time, if the Thunder's third youngster is injured, it will not be a big loss.

So the fourth quarter became garbage time.

At the end of the game, Timberwolves 116:101 Thunder.

Comparing the substitutes of the two teams, the Timberwolves were still the weaker side, chasing a lot of points.

Bai Yi scored 44 points, which was his lowest scoring game since the playoffs.

Mainly because he defended well in the first half and easily led by 20 points.
