Chapter 134: Than What? (3/3)
Judging from the entire first quarter of the game, the Milwaukee Bucks have the upper hand. Especially in the last two minutes of the game.
The Eagles, under the watchful eye of head coach Budenholzer, made three consecutive turnovers......
The Bucks' side is also out of the way! Playing against the Eagles, not only are the opponents excited, they also want to win the Eagles, the biggest dark horse of the season!
! This time it was Li Feng who hit the whistle for three points! In the last 11 seconds of the first quarter, Carol continued to shake off the defense!
Although defender Li Feng's pace is relatively slow, Li Feng can still cope with Carroll, a striker who is also not very flexible.
The players celebrated the excitement of the past. The expression on Kidd's face didn't change.
even showed a trace of sadness imperceptibly.
The mistake just now was indeed the Bucks' pressing of the opponent, which indirectly caused one mistake by Horford and two mistakes by Millsap on the Hawks' side.
Budenholzer tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart. If those three turnovers hadn't happened just now, they would have led the first quarter.
Turning back to get the tactical board, he inadvertently glanced at the Bucks home fans who were very excited at the scene.
It seems that the "home halo" may have played a role.
Budenholzer: "The opponent's symmetry is very good, it's a simple and efficient tactic. They should be using it again.
So what I ask you to do is to guard against your own players. Certain! To defend the players around you, as long as you do it one-on-one!
The Bucks' side will be hindered in all aspects......"
The best defense against a triangle offense is man-to-man defense. But just like the Bulls Dynasty back then, the players in it were too strong in terms of personal ability!
You mark people, people play with each other, you wrap up, other Bulls players, such as Jordan who is hanging up in singles on the court, will score like crazy......
So in the Chicago Bulls of that year, with Big Bug, Pippen, and Jordan, they did reach a near-unsolvable existence in the game to a certain extent!
And the Bucks are now using a triangle offense, and their players can basically play this tactic to a certain level.
But Budenholzer still believes that the Bucks' side is only learning part of the triangle offense.
After all, the triangle offense requires players to have a high level of on-court reflexes.
Horford returned to the bench a little out of breath. In the second quarter of the game, he was unexpectedly replaced by the coach.
The Hawks' lineup for this quarter of the game was Millsap, Scott, Carroll, Korver, and Schroder.
Teague: "Looks like we're going to play with the Bucks in the next game!" ”
Horford: "Huh? What do you mean? If the coach replaces us, we usually have to play in the fourth quarter, right? ”
Teague: "I have a feeling that we're going to go back in the third quarter. Unless the coach doesn't want to win anymore. ”
Horford: "Be quiet, he's up ahead!" ”
Teague: "Unless the Bucks play the Warriors' efficiency today, I feel like we can still win"
The manager had made it clear that the two of them were resting, and the two were chatting there.
The Eagles are less strained under new coach Budenholzer. Anyway, everyone's scores and other data are quite average.
It doesn't matter how much you get or how little you get. Therefore, it is relatively open, and they are now in the first place in the East, if they are still too concerned about how to get good data, there is no need.
The stats are pretty much enough, and their goal is now to compete for the championship!!
As long as the top three teams in the East and West can maintain such a ranking until the end of the regular season, the strength of the season will basically be determined.
Kidd: "You played well in the first quarter, but the Hawks have a lot of tactics, so you have to be careful.
Can't be careless. Playing against the Eagles as simple as possible during the offense, don't complicate it. Our main thing is to score.
But defense is still crucial. Because of the opponent's scoring ability, I also told you before the game. On the defensive end, you're going to do a little more."
Antetokounmpo: "Okay, I'll try to defend my opponent!" ”
Back in the second quarter, Antetokounmpo and McCarvey came on the Bucks' side, and Kidd faced Budenholzer, who didn't know if he was well prepared before the game.
Korver: "You try to play as much as you can when I'm on the ball. The other party seems to be quite strong."
Millsap: "It's pretty the internet. Say what they are 'regular season top nemesis team' or something! Aren't we at the top of the Eastern Conference right now?"
Korver: "It's time to show what we're really capable of!" I'll throw a few three-pointers to warm up first~"
Schroder: "Okay, everybody, fully cooperate with Korver, let him shoot a few threes!" It's going to be easier to play."
This is the way to play in the early stage of teammates to drag the opponent and let the shooter teammates eat more economy!
The risk is that the shooter doesn't play and his teammates don't develop/play as well.
The opponent will take this opportunity to concentrate their firepower to win the game quickly.
And if you play well, the shooter is very powerful and kills, and the teammates cooperate with each other, which is amazing.
The Eagles are a team that plays well together, at least this season.
Schroeder passed the half quietly, and started directly after passing McCarvey's defense, but McCarvey was not a vegetarian either!
rushed over directly and almost broke the ball, and at this time everyone's attention was focused on the two of them!
Scott immediately stood up after the 3-second zone, and Korver immediately hit a jumper after receiving Schroder's high-toss pass!
The organization of this section fell directly to Ilyasova because of Parker's break.
McCarvey will help him organise the team together, but the two are not very experienced in this area.
Kidd and Budenholzer were in agreement for the start of the second half before the start of the second quarter.
But to say that the bench players of the two teams are not the same as the main players.
The Eagles' Scott was surprised when he defended Antetokounmpo. This guy's physical fitness is a lot stronger!
You must not provoke him when there is such a player. Because if you really fight, you probably won't be able to beat him......
Hansen got the basketball and went to the basket, which was usually easy to score, but was bluntly interfered with by Millsap!
Millsap is not very tall. But in terms of power, outbursts and defense, fighting for rebounds, they are aggressive! Just now he saw the basketball coming over and knew that he couldn't break it, but he seemed to jump up and prevent Hansen as if his body was directly instinctively reacting!
Carroll picks up the basketball and immediately passes the ball to Schroder!
Korver immediately ran a few steps after receiving the basketball in the half, and hit a three-point jumper!
Li Feng: "The other party's speed is too fast!" We're going to have to slow down! ”
When the Hawks are playing a combination now, or playing offensive and defensive switching tactics, the game does feel like a Spurs in the East!
The players' high concentration and tacit cooperation with them invisibly accelerated the pace of the game!
A lot of the time it's the opposition players who haven't reacted yet, and the Eagles have already scored.
That's one of the things Budenholzer is looking for, because when your team has a certain level of chemistry and offensive efficiency, winning is just a matter of course.
Because for example, when two warriors are competing, if one side has both offense and defense and his shooting speed is much faster than yours, all kinds of defense against your offense will be very lethal in counterattack......
Obviously, the game is decided.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the players on the Bucks side and the coaching staff on the bench smelled a smell of danger!
Korver defended Li Feng, who was also very fast and had little ability to defend McCarvey by Schroeder.
Two players who are not too strong are together, and the confrontation side is balanced......
The entanglement between the two was exciting, but now the Eagles' scoring focus is not Schroder!
This season has been a bit stressful for Schroder, and the coach's trust in him makes him feel that he finally has a chance to play in the NBA!
But what worries him is how many points he can score against such a team that has been changed by Budenholzer to focus on team basketball?
The main thing I want to do is to fight for the championship with the team. But once in a while, Schroeder would look back at his stats.
Teague doesn't know if he can continue to play with the Eagles next season, maybe his chance has really come!
The Eagles are very focused on Budenholzer's defensive tactics. The players on the Bucks' side had an uncomfortable feeling.
Their actions were blocked by the Eagles in various ways. Scott and Carroll switched defenses, and Antetokounmpo also welcomed a strong defender.
Ilyasova dragged the ball to the letter when he was about 15 seconds later. He really couldn't find a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
Antetokounmpo glanced at the time, and after facing Carol directly past the other party, he suddenly jumped up and spread his arms!!
The fans at the scene immediately let out an exclamation!
Millsap and Antetokounmpo collide in the air! But even so, the letter still dunked the ball into the basket!!
After landing, he roared wildly at the audience! Millsap's first instinct was, is this guy crazy?!
With his stature, he was hit by the letters and took a few steps back.
The strength of the letters is really rushing to fight. He really won't show even a trace of affection to his opponent at some point!
Schroeder goes to the front and passes to Korver. But this time he didn't choose to shoot, and Schroder, who received the return pass, hit a three-point jumper!
! Budenholzer was slightly relieved to see his team's performance at the start of the second quarter.
When they did a good job on the defensive end, the players took more three-point shots to make the score difference quickly widen!
When it comes to a certain point difference, such as 10-15 points, it will not be easy for the Bucks to chase again.
The Bucks are also a little unsure of what to do right now. If the opponent has enough strength to defend one, then they really have no way to attack.
Then Ilyasova hit a three-point shot, and Millsap grabbed the rebound and passed out!
Korver scored three points after getting the basketball!
Kidd sighed, this is where the other party is better than them.
The two teams came up with substitutions, and the gap immediately appeared.
Than what? Budenholzer is on the bench with Kidby!
After the timeout, the Bucks let Knight and Mayo play.
Milwaukee's side took the lead in switching to a lineup of guards who were relatively good in confrontation and scoring!
Li Feng was too restricted by Korver. If the opponent has been working on defense in this game, the main players of the Bucks will have to play longer periods.
The lineup on the Eagles' side remains the same. But in that 1 minute, Budenholzer and the team said a lot!
Now that the opponent has changed, the Eagles have to adjust accordingly.
Korver had a good hand today, but now he's more about attracting the opposition defense and creating opportunities for his teammates!
It's not time to really start fighting! All they have to do now is hold on to the lead with the Bucks!
The Bucks do have some three-point pressing, but they're not the Warriors after all.
Before the game, Budenholzer also looked at the three-point shooting percentages of the Bucks and the Warriors, which was much worse.
So they can do well defensively, and they can go for more 2 points.
Mayo is obviously much stronger in terms of strength and physical confrontation! It didn't take long for Schroeder to get rid of Mayo!
Then he hit a three-point jumper from the bottom corner, but the letter arrived in time to dunk the ball!
After a long period of high-intensity training, the ability of the alphabet on the field is gradually beginning to show!
The most obvious is that his control over his own power is getting better and better. There are many fewer cases where the ball is out of control and the ball becomes a smashing rebound.
Korver picked up Schroder's pass in the backfield, and he used teammate Carroll's block to successfully get past Knight's defense!
The Bucks saw him pick up the pace, and when he was about to get close to the three-point line, the basketball suddenly came to Scott, who immediately hit a jumper and a 2-pointer!
The letter served directly to Ilyasova, who made a long pass to Mayo. In the face of no one to defend the situation, three points are directly credited!
Similarly, when the Bucks are switching offense and defense with the Hawks, there is nothing the other side can do with the Milwaukee side. This time the defense against Korver was a little slackened.
Now the opponent should use him to attract the defense. In fact, such an eagle is not much of a threat. At this time, you can try to narrow the score difference.
But just as they were thinking so, Korver made a jumper in front of Knight and went into the net with a three-pointer!
Coach Budenholzer, who was standing on the sidelines at this time, nodded with a rare slight nod.
Korver didn't stiffen up on the defensive tasks he had assigned. Instead, they made adjustments as soon as they noticed that the situation on the site had changed. Hit the Bucks by surprise!
Kidd looked at the difference between the two teams on the spot, and his heart began to worry. It's too early to say that we should give up the game with the current point difference.
But it seems that the Eagles are playing more and more six, and at this time they can only wait and see what happens. With such a difference of about 10 points, he was still acceptable in the third quarter of the game.
As long as the margin doesn't exceed 15 points, their Bucks' chances won't be too small!
