The opening three-pointer in basketball

At the Minnesota Target Center, the numbers are clear on the scoreboard: Timberwolves 96:86 Thunder.

When Bai Yi didn't play before, the Thunder kept chasing him. After chasing for a long time, they still couldn't catch up.

Now Bai Yi came up, scoring several three-pointers in a row, without giving the Thunder three any face at all.

Harden and Westbrook defended very hard, but they still couldn't stop Bai Yi.

His continuous dribbling just now was like a juggling act, but Westbrook and Harden had no way to deal with it.

Harden habitually wanted to escape, his eyes drooped, and he looked listless.

Westbrook is still very brave, but it can be seen that there is confusion in his eyes.

At this time, Brooks had to call a timeout. The score difference between the two teams was too big. If he didn't call a timeout, the game would be over.

Wait until the players from both teams return to the bench.

Brooks said to Adu: "They can't stop Bai, now I can only rely on you."

To be fair, Durant's defensive attitude is very average, but it is still better than Westbrook and Harden.

Moreover, he is tall and has long arms, making him look like Spider-Man. His defensive conditions are very good.

Therefore, Durant's personal single defense effect is very good.

And because of his height and weight, he has quick steps and can defend from one to five.

When the Thunder have to play against top players, such as the Heat or the Lakers, Durant usually defends James and Kobe.

The effect is passable.

As for this game, Brooks never arranged for Durant to defend Baiyi.

Because the two have faced each other before in the regular season.

Bai Yi is the type of player that Durant doesn't like to defend. He is fast, especially his turning speed is very fast.

Durant has a high center of gravity and can't turn around easily. This is the reason why he dislikes defending Bai Yi the most.

But now Harden and Westbrook can't keep up, and Bai Yi's dribbling seems to be comparable to that of peak Iverson.

Brooks thinks Adu can be used.

Because Bai Yi doesn't break through, he just shoots.

In this regard, Durant obviously has the advantage.

When Adu heard this, he glanced at Brooks and said nothing.

He has a normal relationship with Brooks. Brooks has always been Westbrook's godson and doesn't care much about her.

Brooks clearly favors Westbrook in many techniques and tactics.

He was angry.

Brooks hurriedly continued: "If you can't stand up, then we will have no hope if we are really strong."

He added, "On the defensive end, Harden and Westbrook are not as good as you."

When Adu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Okay."

He believes that he is better than Westbrook Harden in both offense and defense.

But few people recognize it.

Now that Brooks was halfway through, he was satisfied.

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

Thunder makes substitutions, Harden comes off, Robertson comes on.

In this case, Durant and Robertson will defend Baiyi.

Both of them are tall bamboo pole men with long limbs, so their defense is still very strong.

The DJ at the scene was a little worried, "Bai, be careful, the Thunder have changed their defensive players."

A moment later, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. Bai Yi received the basketball early as before.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bai Yi then patted the basketball casually.

Durant's eyes were full of shock. He didn't expect Bai Yi to be able to dribble so smoothly.

It's smoother than him dribbling, just like Rose.

This dribbling is also talented. Some people dribble like Kobe Iverson.

Although some people work hard, their dribbling is still very awkward. For example, James, Lao Zhan's dribbling is always stuck and very incoherent.

Durant's dribbling is really good for his height, and it's the ceiling of the same level.

But he still couldn't see enough of Bai Yi.

Seeing Bai Yi dribbling so smoothly at this time, Adu felt a little stupid.

But he still dribbled the ball very, very seriously.

Bai Yi suddenly retreated continuously at this time.

Adu knew Bai Yi's shooting range and did not dare to relax, so he hurriedly chased after him.

At this moment, Bai Yi suddenly stopped and turned to the other side.

His movements were smooth and fast, as if he had practiced this action thousands of times.

But Durant couldn't. After he made an emergency stop, he paused for a moment before moving sideways, but it was already too late. Bai Yi had already rushed over.

Adu could only watch Bai Yi stop in front of him, then raise his hand and throw out a three-pointer.

Robertson was also watching, equally helpless at this moment.

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

Adu shook his head, feeling dissatisfied with his performance just now. He felt that he should be tougher.

He is not a rookie like Hardenweiss, and his defense should be oppressive.

A moment later, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again.

Bai Yi raised his hand to ask for the ball early, and when the basketball came in, Durant and Robertson met him on the left and right.

This is the method Durant just thought of, so as to limit Bai Yi's breakthrough to both sides.

And if Bai Yi wants to take the middle route, then two people only need to encircle Bai Yi.

"Bai, you can't succeed this time."

Durant's tone was certain and confident.

Bai Yi looked at Durant and nodded, "I hope your performance is as tough as your mouth."

He then suddenly accelerated and rushed between Durant and Robertson.

Durant and Robertson hurriedly surrounded each other.

Just when two people thought three people would bump into each other.

Bai Yi suddenly stopped suddenly, swung the basketball back, and threw it behind him. He then backed away, and then quickly went around to the other side.

Durant was furious and he wouldn't allow it.

After being slapped in the face like this, he threw himself out.

Adu was trying his best to foul and stop Bai Yi.

At this moment, Bai Yi's speed increased dramatically, and his whole body was like a shadow, quickly pulling away a distance to the side.

Adu jumped directly into the air. His center of gravity was unstable and he couldn't control his body and fell forward.

"boom!"

Adu fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Bai Yi was right in front of Adu, jumping up and raising his hand for a three-pointer as before.

The basketball flew out, crossed an arc, and flew into the net.

The ball went in.

Warm cheers erupted from the scene.

Durant lay on the ground, turned his head and saw Bai Yi's sneakers.

When Bai Yi jumped up, his sneakers left the ground. Under the dazzling light, these sneakers actually looked pretty good.

"boom!"

Bai Yi landed, and the sneakers landed heavily on the ground. In that moment, the sneakers were under tremendous pressure, and the soles were deformed.

Durant looked at his sneakers, feeling disappointed. He got up and didn't dare to look at his teammates. He was afraid of seeing Westbrook Harden's mocking gaze, and he was afraid of seeing Brooks looking down on him.

He was still angry in his heart, but he didn't believe it. Why couldn't he guard against Bai Yi?
