Chapter 186: Fierce Third Quarter Game! (1/3)
Kidd has seen a high level of cooperation from the Hawks players in the playoffs, as well as a quick burst of points from the Wizards.
The people on the Cavaliers' side are all talent. But he hasn't seen anything like the Warriors are in today's form.
Or rather, it seems that today the Warriors have gathered all the good qualities of the opponents the Bucks will face when the playoffs arrive.
The Golden State Warriors, who were cornered, seemed to have really sparked the potential of all of them!
A number of Bucks' bench players have played well this season, and the Warriors' players are not bad.
The first quarter of the game finally ended! The Warriors led the Bucks into the second quarter.
......
! The Warriors' lineup remains the same. At this time, Curry scored 20 points by himself!
And the Bucks now only scored an embarrassing 30 points as a team!
The deliberate favoritism of the Warriors and referees who fell into the frenzy caused serious confusion on the Bucks' side.
And Kidd changed his main player halfway through the second quarter. Judging from Kidd's arrangement, it seems that he doesn't want to fight too much.
O'Bryant III and Antetokounmpo were replaced.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and hit a three-point shot directly in the face of McCarvey's defense! The Bucks' side is also fast!
The letter made a long pass directly to Ilyasova, who jumped up and shot, allowing Speights to receive a foul and play 3+1!
! Although the Bucks chased hard, the difference was still too much.
Not long after Livingston got the ball, he hit a three-pointer directly in the center!
......
! This season, the Bucks have had the lowest half-court total scored today since the playoffs.
After halftime, the Bucks' players were in two different states.
On one side, the players were very relaxed, while on the other side, Li Feng and them looked serious.
They narrowly beat the Warriors by just two points in their last game, and a win on the Warriors' home court would have been difficult.
Then it is normal for the opponent to win one game in this game.
Alphabet, Mayo, Parker and Li Feng looked at each other, probably understanding what the other party meant at this time.
Mayo: "This game has to be won"
Antetokounmpo: "I'll guard them"
Parker: "I organize the team"
Li Feng: "Even if we don't win, we have to surpass each other in momentum!" ”
Other Bucks players at this time: "......"
O'Bryant III: "You can't be dreaming, are you?" The 28-point difference, you can see Curry's shooting today. It's scary! Look at what I'm doing, that's what a thing! ”
Li Feng: "Today we are going to finish the Warriors no matter what!" Now if they win a game. It's about giving hope to the Warriors. ”
The players in the room were silent at this point.
Looking at the four players in front of them, they don't seem to be joking.
It didn't take more than three minutes for the teammates to agree with the bold idea of the four of them! That's the game they want to win against the Warriors!
......
Kidd: "All back?" Parker went to center in the third quarter. That's it for today's game, I ...... watch."
Parker: "Coach I'm going to organize the team, so being in the center limits my development. ”
Kidd: "What?! What do you mean? ”
At this time, the head coach of the Bucks frowned and looked at Parker with some confusion and asked. I thought I might not have explained it and asked again.
Li Feng: "Coach, we still want to play!" It's about winning this game."
Kidd: "No, if any of you get hurt, we'll be overtaken by the other side!" ”
Antetokounmpo: "Coach! This season, we are the one who overtakes the opponent the most!
I'm sure we're experienced in this area! And I don't want to play the next game, I'm too tired like that! ”
Kidd: "Mayo, what you and they think...... The same? ”
Mayo: "That's right, the difference is not too big, there is still a chance"
Kidd: "Okay then. Let me see...... Ilyasova didn't have to go up next. If any of you mess with me, I won't spare you next season!! ”
The players on the Warriors' side had a third-quarter lineup of Azery, Barnes, Lee, Holiday and Livingston.
With the players insisting on going to the end with the Warriors, Kidd changed the lineup after a few brief words with the coaching staff.
The lineup on the Bucks' side has changed to Hansen, Parker, Mayo, Antetokounmpo and Li Feng!
Curry, who was sitting off the court at this time, was also in a state of preparation!
He was ready to get on the pitch as soon as he was told by the manager to take points and win the game.
If the Warriors want to win against the Bucks and make history by winning four games in a row to win the championship in a 0-3 downturn, then they need to win one game at a time.
Whichever game is lost, the season is over. So since Curry seems to be about to turn the tables, his mood will be much more anxious.
Livingston quickly rushed to the frontcourt after getting the basketball, but he ran straight into Antetokounmpo......
He tried to pass the other party several times, but he was finally cut off by the letters.
Curry saw it and "bounced" straight from the stool!
He came to the sidelines with his teammates and watched the game. The Bucks are in a state at this time and don't want to give up this game at all!
Kerr turned around and saw Curry and immediately motioned for him to go back and rest first. But Curry ran for him anyway.
Curry: "I'm fine for four quarters. LeBron can play the whole game, why can't I? ”
Cole: "It's just the beginning of the game, and if something goes wrong in a while, I'll replace you right away." Go and rest first. ”
Curry: "I'm going to rest and this season is over!" ”
Cole glanced at Curry and said nothing. Just hugged his shoulders and continued to watch the game.
Curry was a little dissatisfied with the coach's response, and he returned to the bench in a bit of anger.
After Li Feng got the basketball, he directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Parker! Hansen jumped up immediately, got Parker's high-toss pass and scored straight away!
Livingston is very fast! He didn't think much about it, he directly received the serve from his teammates and rushed to the front court, and immediately passed the ball to Barnes, who made a jumper and scored three points!
! Curry had just stood up and saw his teammates' three-pointers and the frantic shouts of the fans behind him.
"Warriors Championship! Warriors Championship! "The fans are already in a frenzy.
Curry saw the staff motioning for him to sit down and rest for a while, and took the towel from the staff's other hand. Curry nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat down.
It's really too much to worry about. Curry didn't watch the game at this time, but put his right hand on his forehead and bowed his head there and didn't move.
......
At this time, Curry has a feeling that the three rows are good and the single row is tired.
Teammates who usually play well team up together, in fact, even if the other two players don't play well, it doesn't matter much.
But when you're solo, you might be a diamond, but the rest of your teammates are only playing at the level of a platinum 4......
You'll immediately feel like "I'm too hard."
Curry is afraid that the moment will come. Because if such a situation happens, no matter how well Curry plays, he will not be able to beat four hands with one punch.
Antetokounmpo went straight past Holiday after half-time! Mayo received a basketball in the bottom corner and directly returned a three-pointer!
A difference of 26 points. It's like a stone on the hearts of Bucks players.
Barnes serves to Holiday . Lee hit a three-pointer after getting his pass. Hansen got the rebound and passed the ball to Li Feng, who hit the ball directly to Mayo.
Mayo, who passed the half, faced the defense of Livingston and Barnes and hit a three-point jumper directly!
Then Livingston took the ball to the front court and hit a direct 2-point shot.
......
! Cole's side was about to take a timeout. Curry walked straight to the head coach at a brisk pace.
As the pioneer of the "three-point" style of play, the Warriors naturally know what it means when the game is 20 points.
In the past, when the Warriors' Thompson and Green were not injured, the difference was nothing when they were 20 points behind. Because 20 points behind, that's a matter of 7 threes.
The opponent played well, and the two quarters of the game were almost recovered.
The Bucks don't have any big stars, they don't have any very good tactics.
They rely on a season's level of tactical grinding, and the chemistry between the players allows them to make as few mistakes as possible on the field.
And the Bucks have been able to get to where they are now, in large part, because this team has the Hawks' quick offensive and defensive switching ability and their Warriors' "three-point" play!
The Warriors' overall offensive and defensive transitions weren't very fast. They mainly relied on the crazy three-point combination of the "Splash Brothers" to get them to where they are now.
At this time, when their main players are injured, the opposing team can beat them with three points.
Cole: "I don't think the other party wants to admit defeat now. Many of their players are able to shoot threes right away, so they need to step up again on the defensive end!
It's like the intensity of our defense in the first half. Scoring mainly gives the ball to Curry. Try to shoot as few 2-pointers as possible......"
Kidd: "Parker went up again in the fourth quarter. Ilyasova is in Parker's position, you just have to remember one thing, give me a hard throw of three points!
For the Warriors, they still have plenty of time, but for us, we need to spend the last two minutes of the game with them to decide the winner! ”
The managers on both sides are laying out the tasks ahead. None of the players on either side spoke.
The Warriors came back from the game and replaced Holiday with Curry. McCarvey didn't play well today, and his performance in the first half kept Kidd from playing for him.
In this way, now the Bucks are organizing the game with Mayo and Li Feng. Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, is primarily a defender and a No. 3 player who defends the opposition.
The rest is basically left alone.
Curry came back and rushed straight to the frontcourt. It was a three-pointer against the letter, but in the end, the basketball hit the iron. Hansen and Azeri collide together.
After Barnes got the basketball, he passed the ball to Curry, and Curry jumped up again, this time by Antetokounmpo who ran on-demand, and he directly came to the block!
The strength was not great, but the letters rushed straight out, and Curry chased after him!
In the end, Antetokounmpo jumped directly and remembered the powerful and heavy buckle!
! Curry also yelled as he got down in the air. Then ushered in the basketball hoop!
Unlike in the first half, now Antetokounmpo is in the defender position! Main defense Curry!
Facing the defense of the alphabet, Curry felt like he had met James. The same great control of power, the same focus, and the same difficulty attacking around it!
Unlike the previous presence of Green and Thompson, Curry was in a very anxious mood at this time.
It was impossible for him not to think about a lot of things. His teammates are now expecting all from him.
Cole: "Hey! Curry. Just try your best to fight. There's no need to fight each other so much. Or pass the ball more."
Curry: "Gotta win today, gotta me ......"
Before he finished speaking, Curry ran straight over. The camera came to Green, who was wearing a suit today and watched the conversation between the coach and Curry a little lonely.
Seeing that Curry didn't pass the ball, Mayo, Ilyasova and the alphabet trio went over to defend and finally let Ilyasova get a foul.
Curry stood at the free throw line and made 2 of 3 free throws. The hot hand cooled down a bit in the first half.
Mayo got the basketball and rushed straight across the halfcourt!
Curry: "Defense!! What are you looking at!! ”
Li Feng, who was on the other side of Mayo, hit a three-point shot directly after getting the pass!! Curry's mind was full of anger at this point. He immediately lowered his body and slammed the floor a few times!
The lead has dropped from 28 points to 17 points!
Livingston made another mistake and Antetokounmpo grabbed the basketball and rushed straight to the frontcourt. This time he didn't choose to pass the ball.
Jump up the letters directly to score three points! Barnes missed a three-pointer, and Hansen got the rebound and passed the ball.
Mayo used himself to attract two defenders and eventually threw the ball to Ilyasova and the Bucks scored another three points.
! The camera is here for Cole, where he is shaking his head. A look of disbelief.
The player who saw himself was about to rush over. Quickly asked the referee for a timeout.
Curry looked back and saw that his team was going to take a timeout. After slapping the basketball away with both hands, he walked straight over.
They have won a lot of games in a season, but they have problems in the finals.
For the first time, the Warriors' players and coaches felt what it means to be powerless. The Bucks are getting braver the more they play.
This season, they played the Warriors in the regular season, and when the Warriors were fully healthy, the opponent was able to drag them to three overtimes and win them!
Curry crossed his hands on his hips and took a deep breath. His mood at this time fluctuated greatly.
Kidd was observing the Warriors' side at this time.
The coaches and players are also impatient, the better it is for the Bucks. The difference was chased to 11 points.
It looks like the Bucks still have a chance to win against the Warriors tonight!
Li Feng: "The defense of the coach's letter is very good. He's going to stay in the ring! ”
Kidd: "I know that, it's still hard to say whether the game will be won or lost!" Let's just keep playing at the same level as we just now. I'm going to accept whatever the result is today......"
Looking at his players, Kidd suppressed his excitement.
He didn't even dare to glance at the O'Brien Championship Trophy not far away. It's still a "you can't win this game" expression.
The Bucks players didn't think much of it when they saw such expressions. They were still in the same mood as they were at half-time, they had to win this game!
