The opening three-pointer in basketball

"Hahaha, dear friends, welcome to watch TNT's live broadcast. We will broadcast the second game of the 2011-2012 NBA Finals for everyone. It will still be at the Target Center in Minnesota. The two sides are the Timberwolves and the Heat."

"This is the Timberwolves' home court."

O'Neal took the lead in making an opening statement.

He then looked at Kenny Smiths, but Kenny didn't accept it.

O'Neal was a little surprised, and he hurriedly turned to Barkley on the other side.

Buckley, however, was equally confused and looked like he was sleep deprived.

These two people are both TNT's ace commentators. They are very well prepared for normal games and are rational and steady.

So what happened today?

O'Neal could only answer by himself: "Whether it's the Timberwolves or the Heat, this game is very important. So you two, what do you think is the key point of this game?"

At this time, Barkley answered, "I think whether it's the Heat or the Timberwolves, they need to contribute the most on the defensive end."

"In the last game, Bai seemed to be restricted in the first quarter. It was just the defense in the first quarter that made it a little difficult for Bai."

"But there won't be any funny defense on the Heat's side."

"As for the Timberwolves, their defense was not strong in the semifinals."

"So the offense in the last game was beautiful, but the defense didn't leave much impression on me."

"The Heat need to change and become tougher."

"And if the Timberwolves want to change, they also have to pay more on the defensive end."

Kenny Smith also came to his senses and immediately nodded in agreement with Barkley's opinion.

O'Neal nodded, "Who do you think you are more optimistic about in this game?"

Kenny Smith was the first to say: "I am more optimistic about the Timberwolves. I think the Timberwolves' home victory balloon will not be shot down."

Barkley laughed, "I think it's the Heat. The Heat have the most complete, reasonable and scientific lineup in the league."

"Spoelstra is also a coach who is good at changing. He will not let Bai go crazy. He will definitely find a way to stop Bai."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the director cut in and there was a minute and a half of commercial time.

O'Neill hurriedly asked: "What were you two thinking just now? You two were in a daze."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "I was thinking about Bai. I got a message that Nike wants to draw Bai into his camp. They will pay liquidated damages and share the profits from the sale of Bai's sneakers in the future."

The league's superstars, such as Kobe, James, and Durant, sign with Nike and receive a share of the signature shoes produced.

This group of people receive more than 10 million in profit sharing every year.

And like Jordan, because of the inventory advantage of his brand shoes, plus the new models are replaced almost every year.

So his profit dividends are exaggerated.

It is said that Jordan can receive 100 million in dividends every year.

With Bai Yi's current popularity, if he really joins Nike, he might be able to earn $20 million a year for his sneakers.

Kenny Smith is excited if Nike can poach him.

What about the Knicks?

The number one city in the world should be able to poach Bai Yi.

After all, New York can afford more money, and New York has resources that Minnesota cannot match.

Although the Knicks have a poor record, their jersey sales are the best in the league.

If Bai Yi goes to New York, the share of the jersey alone will be worth millions of dollars.

When Barkley heard this, he curled his lips and said, "Stop dreaming. Bai can't go to the Knicks. If he doesn't win the championship, he will definitely want to win the championship with the Timberwolves and leave no regrets."

"If he wins the championship, he will never leave. He will be the totem of the Timberwolves."

O'Neill nodded, "Then why were you in a daze just now?"

"I thought this was part of your design."

…

Players from both teams enter the Minnesota Target Center.

Before the game starts, the stadium lights will still be turned off for a moment, and then all the spotlight will fall on Bai Yi.

This time he was definitely the focus of the audience.

Bai Yi waved to the fans, who responded with warm cheers.

Wade saw it with a smile on his face. In recent days, the entire Heat team has been preparing for the second game.

Especially regarding Baiyi's defense, the players are very serious.

According to Si Bo's plan, they will engage in a large number of physical confrontations with Bai Yi and consume Bai Yi in turn.

Wade feels that this defensive plan is by far the most suitable for the Heat.

He will be a nubuck-like player in this game.

Try to make it more difficult for Bai Yi to catch and control the ball, while constantly consuming Bai Yi.

He then turned to Chalmers and said, "You must be focused and you must maintain an active mentality."

Chalmers nodded hurriedly.

Of the Heat's Big Three, Wade actually speaks best.

If James is dissatisfied with someone, he will treat it coldly and ignore it directly.

And Wade will say it directly. Under such circumstances, the players actually prefer to stay with Wade.

After a while, the whistle sounded and the game officially started.

The Timberwolves' starting five: Bai Yi, Tucker, Morris Jr., Reggie, and Pekovic.

The Heat's starting five: James, Wade, Bosh, Anthony, and Chalmers.

Pekovic and Anthony grabbed the ball together. Anthony quickly lost it and passed the ball to James on the other side, who then passed the ball to Wade.

Bai Yi rushed over immediately.

Wade smiled and said, "Bai, our defense against you in this game will definitely be something you will never forget."

Bai Yi nodded, looking indifferent, "What a coincidence, I also plan to strengthen my defense and see who of us has a better defense."

Wade then rushed up with the ball, and he directly bumped into Bai Yi.

"Bang!"

The two big men collided with each other. Bai Yi took two steps back, but Wade just shook his body and then continued to rush in.

He ran very fast and rushed to the penalty area, then turned and passed to Bosh on the side.

Wade attracted the defense, and Bosh had no one to defend him. Young shot from a distance, and the basketball drew an arc and flew into the net.

The ball went in.

It can be seen that Bosh is in good condition today.

Bosh then turned around, pursed his lips and patted his chest.

Wade was also very happy. When passing by Bai Yi, Wade smiled and said: "You will definitely lose this game with Bai Yi."

He was really excited today and his overall condition was excellent.

As an experienced player, Wade naturally knew what his touch was going to be today.

At the same time, he also found that other Heat players were in excellent condition today.

For example, Bosh and James all scored when they were just warming up.

He felt that this game was only a hardship for Baiyi on the defensive end. On the offensive end, the Heat were not easy to mess with either.
