Chapter 164: Fight to the End! (3/3)

After the two teams really started to fight on the court, the Bucks immediately fell behind in terms of overall performance.

In the final first quarter of the game, the Rockets entered the second quarter with the Bucks.

And the second quarter of the game was a nightmare for some Bucks fans.

The Bucks played a whole quarter of the game, although the main team made a lot of substitutions. But the score is also too little. Only 17 points.

And the Rockets scored 36 points! The team shot three-pointers from the outside like crazy, and no player on the interior defended anything that clashed with Howard.

Because although the player is not as strong as O'Neal, he is also very strong in terms of physique.

Against such players, very few players will find them in trouble. Because once there is a conflict, it will not be able to fight at all.

Whether it's Barkley or O'Neal in the past, they've seen it on the field.

The later result was that at the scene of the game, they beat the opponent to the point that they were full of gold stars.

Accept being sent off, accept a penalty, but it's definitely going to clash with you on the field.

And for such players, they invisibly form a barrier around themselves. That is, you can't beat me, and you won't trouble me.

In that case, I'm already a basket leader now! For the Rockets' big center, the only striking flaw he may have is his slow pace.

The first half ended in the end.

At the home of the Bucks, the hearts of the fans were very shocked.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bucks fought back hard, and the Rockets went to play against their opponents as if they had met the Warriors!

I don't know what level of intensity this kind of competition is. Because the Rockets didn't give the Bucks a chance at all.

Several of the Bucks players who went off the court after the first half did not dare to make eye contact with Kidd. The 28-point difference made him conflicted.

If the score difference is about 15 points, it is easier to chase, but with such a big difference of 28 points, and with the Rockets, can you catch up?

The atmosphere was not very good when we got back to the dressing room. The players didn't have much to say.

Li Feng: "When we enter the playoffs, no matter which position we place in the 6-8th place, the final opponent will not be easy to play." ”

The room remained silent.

Li Feng: "So, the most important thing is not to say how many places we want to rush, but how we will play in the first round"

Hansen: "We haven't gotten a playoff spot yet. Are you thinking too much?! ”

Hansen, who played two quarters, was in a bad state at this time. He was in the mood for why his teammates were so poor in shooting accuracy in the second quarter.

But his five big hat teammates who were covered by Howard didn't actually say anything......

The room fell silent again.

Parker: "I feel that there is some truth in what Li Feng said. In the playoffs, we're going to get in. But that doesn't mean you have to struggle with these strong teams before the playoffs. ”

Hansen: "Kidd is going to make sure we get into the top eight in the East. If this game is lost. Our best result is probably 8th in the end.

Then swept by the Atlanta Hawks...... Their strength this season is terrible!

Even the Cavaliers have won a lot of games now. Isn't that scary?

We went into the playoffs and were swept right away, maybe that's the end result of the season. ”

Li Feng: "Hansen, it's time for you to rest." The Hawks are now number one in the league and the Cavaliers are now number two. No matter which one is our opponent in the first round, it feels quite sour~"

Embarrassment from Hansen +442!

If you want to play the first round against the Cavaliers, Hansen doesn't feel too exciting to think about......

Parker: "So Li Feng." What do you want to say? ”

Li Feng: "What I want to say is. No matter how we play, the result is pretty much the same.

What I'm trying to say is that we don't focus too much on the results. The coach also said before the game that our offensive focus will be on the third quarter of the game.

Hansen, you don't have to say it, I know what you're going to say. Since the difference in points is so big, we have to hold back the opponent's attack.

The opponent's main force played two quarters in a row. This quarter they continued, and the fourth quarter was our chance.

If they don't play, we still have a good chance in the second half! ”

At this time, the players in the room seemed to understand what Li Feng meant.

There are many Bucks players who are intimidated by the momentum of the Rockets. Even Hansen here is looking at the game with some pessimism.

And such an atmosphere and the state of the players made Li Feng feel dangerous.

If the team continues to play like this, they are likely to be completely destroyed by the Rockets in the next quarter!

Some of the Bucks players in the room reacted immediately. What Li Feng said was not a fantasy. They do have another chance waiting for them tonight!

That's when the Rockets' side is tired or they change the bench, and the Bucks' opportunity is completely here!

Chasing points in the third quarter, the game in the fourth quarter can have a good chance to overtake the score and finally win the game.

And if the Rockets still have a lot of main players on the court in the third quarter of the game, then the Bucks can also fight with them in the fourth quarter!

As Li Feng said just now. It's a big deal, and in the end, they play the Hawks as the 8th place in the East.

Whether the first opponent in the playoffs is the Hawks or the Cavaliers, it is quite desperate for some Bucks players.

Thinking of this, the teammates had to say that they were a little more relaxed. If you compare this season with last season, you will find that it is already very good!

At least at this point, the management already thinks Kidd has done the coaching task they have assigned this season.

That is to get the Bucks to finish the season between 8 and 10. The Milwaukee Bucks have had a lot of ups and downs this season.

At their lowest, they were at the bottom of the league. At the highest, although he finished in the top eight once, he was immediately squeezed out by other teams.

So this time, the Bucks have been hovering between 9-15 in the East. Whether he makes the playoffs or not, management won't be resigning Kidd.

Because from now on, Kidd and the players in the team have reached a good level of overall form.

The next step is to add bench depth to the team to see if we can recruit some powerful substitutes, and there may be some adjustments to the main force.

So maybe it will become a powerhouse in the East next season?

The atmosphere in the room eased slightly. Parker and Li Feng chatted briefly on the bench.

Kidd didn't show up in the locker room until the break was over. As the players came to the field from the hallway, Kidd sat quietly on the bench.

He had some sense that there was something wrong with the tactical arrangement of the game......

Know that the Rockets won't let up with the Bucks. But I didn't expect them to play against their own team so desperately......

But when Kidd was back on the pitch and laughing, it was a little strange, what was going on? Did they give up the game?

I wanted to go over and ask for a few words, but in the end, I turned around and asked the teaching assistants not far away to go over and say something.

The assistant coach immediately jumped out of his chair and walked among the players, starting to talk to them about tactics based on the lineup that Kidd had already arranged.

The players had already heard it before the game, and now it's just a matter of repeating it.

The lineup on the Rockets' side coming back from the game was Howard, Josh, Jones, Cannan and Nick.

The team's center and power forward have not changed. The rest of the players came on as substitutes.

On the Bucks' side, Parker, Antetokounmpo, Ilyasova, Li Feng, and McCarvey are in order.

The team mainly revolves around Li Feng and Ilyasova to play.

Alphabet and Parker can also get points quickly if they get the chance. In this section, it was still relatively relaxed for the Rockets.

Harden and Terry are too strong to score! Terry's age-old scoring ability thrills Rockets fans! And Harden belongs to the new generation of leaders in the league today!

At this time, they were also watching the game proudly off the field. By this time, the record had risen to second place in the West.

What does this mean? That means the Rockets are about the same as the Warriors, winning most of the regular season.

The Bucks team, although there is a lot of controversy from the outside world. Some say they're very powerful. But in terms of the Rockets this season, it is just better than the bad team.

At the beginning of the game, Li Feng took the ball to the front court. Sure enough, after the opponent's main guard went down, the defensive intensity of the Rockets dropped a lot.

McCarvey received a pass from Li Feng, and a feint almost shook Nick to the ground!

Then jump up and hit a three-point hollow hit! Seeing this scene, Kidd got up directly from the bench and stood up!

The team's form from the start of the third quarter doesn't look like they're going to give up!

Howard: "Outside defense to keep up!" Don't relax! We're going to keep the difference going on. This game can be won more steadily! ”

The two guards present at this time of the Rockets did not say anything, just nodded.

This round didn't change the attitude of the Rockets. Harden leaned back on two stools and watched the game. When the camera focused on him, he also said hello.

The winning streak is cool for a while, and the winning streak has been cool~

Not only do you have to continue your winning streak today, but you may also be able to win a single 50+ scoring record by accident~

Thinking about it this way, Harden is naturally in a good mood. At least at the guard, he's doing a pretty good job with the Rockets.

The quarter ended. And then after winning them easily, there is still a lot to do in the evening~

Like having a few more drinks, sleeping a big night's sleep, or something.

The entire regular season went according to his pre-season plan for Harden.

The strength of the Rockets has been greatly improved. In the playoffs, they will have to compete well with their opponents in the first round.

Looking at the current standings in the West, if you are not careful, you may also encounter the San Antonio Spurs.

The basketball goes directly to Warcraft. Under the basket, he allowed Antetokounmpo to receive the fourth foul of the game, and then played 2+1!

Li Feng didn't choose to pass the ball this time, he easily passed Kannan and went directly to the Rockets basket!

Josh got out of the way of the monster to defend Li Feng. But at this time, Ilyasova, who was already in position, received the ball in the bottom corner and hit a three-point shot!

D'Antoni: "Defend against the Bucks. What are you doing when the other party rushes to the basket? ”

Jones: "I'll pay attention to ...... next time"

This time basketball came to Cannan. He missed a three-pointer to get the rebound and then immediately rushed to the frontcourt.

After Li Feng received his pass, the Bucks scored another three points! The Bucks showed a very calm and efficient ability at the beginning of the third quarter!

Terry stopped talking to people at this point. He came to the sidelines and started watching the game.

Harden sat down as well, the relaxed expression on his face fading away.

This time, Jones singled Ilyasova with the ball, but was finally rushed over to defend the letter and cut off the ball in his hand!

After Li Feng took over the basketball, he shuttled back and forth around the Rockets players!

Such a move also somewhat irritated the Rockets' players. While they were chasing after him, the basketball came to McCarvey. He caught the ball and jumped straight up for three points and hit again!

Although the score difference is still as high as 19 points. But D'Antoni was already watching the game with his hands on his hips on the sidelines.

The Rockets' performance in the second half was like a different team compared to the first two quarters. Inside, Howard certainly can't keep up with his teammates.

But the key thing is that their offensive efficiency in this quarter has dropped a lot significantly.

Harden walked slowly over at this point. After a few words with the manager, he went back.

He knew the Bucks were chasing the score. But there was no panic in the slightest.

In many games, he ended up leading the team to victory. So there's no fuss about a team like the Bucks. It's like Team Rocket is letting them.

Basketball is coming to Warcraft again. D'Antoni looked at him on the sidelines and shook his head.

Ariza was called over by him at this point.

Kidd could tell the Rockets were about to call a timeout. The team is doing very well at the moment. If you can, the difference is about 15 points, and the fourth quarter is not completely impossible to win!

Warcraft didn't dribble, he jumped up and dunked to score!

! Li Feng dribbled across the half court again.

Although until now, he didn't know how to use this orange product's [Ginobili Breakthrough Skill Pack]. But when he's dribbling, just let himself run as far outside as he can!

In reality, I don't run too far away. But the whole process of his fight against his opponent has become a lot easier.

The rhythm was indescribable. But that feeling is to be able to beat your opponent!

Li Feng continued to wander around the Rockets players. In the end, he stepped back and jumped three points and hit again!

The difference is still 18 points! The Bucks are using three-pointers to gradually shorten the distance with the Rockets!

Josh didn't shoot a jumper after getting a pass from Nick! After the basketball arrived at Howard, he dribbled the basketball because he didn't hold it steadily. Alphabet passes the ball to McCarvey after breaking the ball directly!

That's when I realized how fast McCarvey was! After running past half court, the basketball came to Li Feng before the players from the Rockets could follow.

But this time Li Feng didn't shoot right away. Instead, it was passed to Ilyasova on the other side. The Rockets players are running in the direction of McCarvey and Li Feng.

At this point, they could only watch Ilyasova hit a three-point jumper with no defenders! The difference has narrowed to 15 points!

It didn't take long for D'Antoni to signal for a timeout.

In the game just now, Kidd clearly saw the momentum of his players who want to fight the Rockets to the end!
