Chapter 435: Fight to the Injured Reed
The current substitute lineup of the Green Kai team, compared with the normal level of the Green Kai team, is difficult to say in terms of offense, but the defensive strength must have declined!
Li Tuanjie didn't expect that a casual suggestion he made would weaken the strength of the Green Kai lineup this season......
Soon, the gap in the strength of the two sides on the court became apparent, and after just three minutes, the Bucks finally had the momentum to pull away the score, and they are now five points ahead of the Green Kai.
As soon as Green Kai saw this momentum, where did he dare to let Pierce and Ray Allen rest, he immediately called a timeout and put the two giants back on the field......
As for Garnett, he is the top soldier in defending Li Tuanjie, so naturally he can't get off the field, if he does, who knows what Li Tuanjie, who has no one to restrict, can do.
After Pierce and Ray Allen reappeared, the Bucks naturally wouldn't give Green Kai a chance to chase points, and Reed and Artest reappeared!
The strength of the starting lineups of the two sides is actually extremely similar, and the two sides are generally on the same level in this game, so in the case of the starters against the starters, the scores of the two sides are difficult to solve, until the end of the first half of the game, the difference between the two sides is still maintained at five points, and the Bucks are temporarily ahead!
……
On the bench on the sidelines of Green Kai, Garnett was in a mood like a dog, throughout the first half of the game, his Li Tuanjie easily cut down 22 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal and 1 block.
At the end of the first half, Garnett had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, in fact, this data basically belongs to Garnett's normal performance this season, after all, Garnett has averaged less than 19 points per game this season......
"Kevin, don't get excited, let's change the formation in the second half, try to see how it goes!" Pierce, as the captain of Green Kai, patted Garnett on the shoulder and said.
Ganeji nodded, he really felt the pressure on Li Tuanjie, and if he changed the formation, it would not be a good choice.
After the start of the second half, Green Kai's side passed Mo Bu to win the game, and sent Veranieva, a very good power forward in the bench lineup, to the field!
In an instant, the height of the lineup on the field soared!
With such a lineup, the Bucks' defense has encountered a lot of resistance, especially at Rondo's point, he already doesn't know who to defend......
Ray Allen doesn't need Rondo to defend, Reed is in charge of Ray Allen!
The remaining two people, Pierce and Veranineuve, Rondo's body is impossible to defend......
Stotts immediately called a timeout, taking advantage of this opportunity to change the formation, Green Kai equalized the original five-point difference, and the scores of the two sides returned to the same starting line again.
Green Kai's lineup has given the Bucks a big problem, they are currently letting Pierce play as a playmaker, and the ball is all in Pierce's hands!
Villanueva has projection ability and good offensive footsteps under the basket, and he is still quite a threat to the Bucks!
"Let Millsap appear!" Li Tuanjie sat on the bench and said lightly, Stotts immediately complied, there is no doubt that in the current situation, it is a very good choice to let Millsap come on the field to be in charge of playing against Villaneuve.
……
Millsap's appearance had an immediate effect, and he had a big advantage over Villanueva!
The game on the court is completely a battle of wits and courage, these two NBA history is very rare super strong team, in terms of strength, in fact, neither side has the ability to crush the other party, now it is to see who has a better strategy on the court, who plays better on the court, who can become the winner of this world-renowned Christmas war.
……
Halfway through the third quarter, the Big Three of Green Kai were already a little miserable!
At their age, playing an average of more than 30 minutes per game is the most suitable time, and if the time is longer, for them veterans, it will not only affect the next game, but also be very prone to injuries!
And in this game, halfway through the third quarter, Garnett, one of the Big Three, had already played for nearly thirty minutes, and the other two giants had no less than twenty-five minutes on the court, which was a bit too long for them!
But they didn't dare to take a break, in this situation where the scores between the two sides were very anxious, they knew very well that once the three of them were out of the game, the Bucks were likely to take their team away in a wave, and it would not be so easy to chase the points at that time!
At this moment, the three giants of Green Kai can only grit their teeth and hold on!
On the other hand, on the Bucks' side, Li Tuanjie and Artest are okay, Li Tuanjie's physical attributes are very high, and his physical fitness is very good, and Artest, a beast-type player, physical fitness is the last thing he lacks......
But Reed was bitter......
This season, Reed has been plagued by injuries in previous seasons, coupled with his age, his physical fitness and other qualities are in a state of decline, and his playing time in this game has exceeded his load, which is quite miserable......
……
With a minute left in the third quarter, Reed accidentally stepped on the foot of teammate Millsap while chasing Ray Allen, who was running without the ball, and fell to the floor......
Stotts sat on the field and was extremely worried, Reid was injured! This is nothing less than bad news for the Bucks!
Nick Young and Sun Yue are too immature to carry the part of the offensive firepower that the Bucks are missing after Reed is gone!
And at this moment, the Bucks are only three points ahead of Green Kai!
Reed is off the court, and the offensive firepower of the Bucks has been greatly affected, and the three-point difference will definitely be erased by Green Kai in a short time!
Li Tuanjie looked at Reed who was injured with some distress, stepped forward to help Reed up, and patted Reed on the shoulder: "Boss, take a good rest, don't worry, when this game is over, I will treat your injury, your injury will not be a big problem, and it will not affect the next game!" ”
Reed's face was like ashes, he didn't hear what Li Tuanjie was saying, his heart was extremely annoyed, hating why he was so easily injured, he was injured at the end of the regular season last season, which caused the Bucks' playoff strength to be damaged!
And this season, he was injured in the meaningful Christmas battle!
"Brother, I'm sorry!" Reed said apologetically to Li Tuanjie.
