Chapter 107: The Warriors Are Completely Confused (3/3)
After a while, Kerr couldn't resist calling a timeout.
It stands to reason that they should have no problem suppressing such a Bucks, right? But why is there such a big gap between the opponent and the first two quarters?
The first two quarters of the game were actually the illusion that Kidd had been trying to create.
The Warriors are playing as always, and they are mentally ignoring all the teams in the league.
When encountering the Bucks, they were more cautious at first, but when they played 40+ in the first quarter and only let the Bucks score more than 20 points in the second quarter, they began to despise the Bucks mentally.
Cole: "Green, don't move!" Our team's defense depends on you. That's why I told you not to foul before the game.
Curry continues to play, and be sure to pay attention to the Bucks' triangle offensive tactics in the next games!
They seem to be much more flexible with this tactic than we thought. It's not safe. ”
Curry: "Wouldn't it be safe even if we were already leading by 28 points in the first half?" ”
Kerr pointed to the score 92:75! The Bucks' three-pointers now look like they shouldn't have a hard time hitting 40+ points in the third quarter.
So that means that the Bucks may be able to recover the difference in the final quarter of the game today, and not only that, but they will also win the Golden State Warriors!
The rest of the Warriors players shuddered when they thought of this! Even Green had a rare fear in his heart.
It's hilarious to pretend to be like this with your opponent in the front, and then you are killed by them in the back......
Green stepped forward to control the pace of the game right away, but was stopped by Kerr.
And at this time, Kerr was also rarely ruthless to Green, which means that their head coach is starting to get serious at this time!
Otherwise, the opponent will "kill" the game with the defense they are used to!
The Bucks are on the verge of madness at this point! Just like they did when they played the Chicago Bulls.
This year's Bulls are indeed a lot stronger!! But in the end, they were defeated!
Kidd is actually nothing, like tonight's game, the Warriors are a strong opponent, and he has seen too many situations in the game to constantly stimulate the opponent with words.
Both as a player and as a coach of the Brooklyn Nets last season.
Fortunately, Garnett was in the team last season, and in general, everyone was relatively restrained in the game.
Kevin on the field is like an aggressive wolf!! He is very vicious, and many players may not be his opponents when it comes to fighting.
And now the situation is normal. The Warriors' previous games disrupted the Bucks' rhythm in a variety of ways.
It was a good job, and they wanted to rest the splash in the third quarter.
Bringing substitutes on the pitch not only restores the fitness of some of the players within the team, but also gives the opponent face. Let them score more points in the third quarter.
But now the Bucks' style of play is a bit of a toast, and they don't eat and drink!
Since the opponent insists on playing, the Warriors can't relax too much.
The Warriors' lineup back from the timeout is Bogut, Speights, Iguodala, Curry and Thompson!
On the Bucks' side, Hansen, Antetokounmpo, Ilyasova, Li Feng, and Mayo are in order!
Many fans are now standing and watching the game! The players on the Warriors' sideline bench also want to see what the Bucks can really do.
The Bucks' first two quarters were disrupted. But for Kidd, their team is still playing very well.
Because, in the first half of the game, the Bucks didn't let the best team play with the Warriors at all!
The game in the third quarter was really important. Hansen and Antetokounmpo exchanged a few words, then looked at each other and came onto the field!
In this section of the game, what you naturally want is to be able to prevent it and open it!
Curry: "The true colors of the eye look have been revealed. Seriously, more ferocious than the other teams!
A team that scored more than 20 points within a few minutes of the start of the game, which team can be better than them? ”
Thompson: "Of course, it's only us warriors!" ”
The two Splash Brothers looked at each other and smiled, and they also came to the arena.
If you look closely enough, you will see that his muscles seem to be breathing slightly......
Now Antetokounmpo's overall form has reached its peak!
He hasn't forgotten what he was looking forward to next season at home. That's to win the championship with the team!!
There was little communication between the two teams. In the third quarter of the game, Bogut, who had just squirted a few words with the Bucks, stopped talking at this time......
Isn't the performance of the opponent just now enough to tell them about their attitude?
Curry took his serve, and the fans began to shout excitedly!
He and Tom also communicated when they were just sitting off the court, and the opponent is so good at shooting, Kerr will definitely replace them or replace one of them.
In the fourth quarter, they either played almost the full court or were replaced early. But the Bucks are suddenly playing like this again. What to do?
In the early stage, you can only attack wildly! Even if there is a conflict!
Because if they don't, the opponent will really have to catch up and win them at Oracle Arena, the home of their Warriors!!
Curry's three-pointer comes out of the basket! Curry thought the ball could be blown, but the referee didn't care.
The substitutes of both teams watched seriously from the sidelines! The basketball was picked up by Speights and passed to Thompson.
His jump shot was directly blocked by Antetokounmpo!
Iguodala went over to serve, Curry got a pass in the bottom corner on the other side and hit a jumper!!
95:75! The 20-point difference makes the players on the Bucks' side look more tight!
Mayo quickly pushes to the frontcourt! Li Feng felt as if the temperature around him had risen at this time!
Antetokounmpo took the basketball, turned and forced past the strong Iguodala, then turned to face Speights' defense and hit a step-back jumper!
It's too difficult! Bucks fans, looking at the cheering level of the scene, should have come a lot!
In the third quarter of the game, the Milwaukee Bucks players changed too much in themselves.
When he was about to give up mentally, he was forcibly pulled back by head coach Kidd. When you arrive on the field, everyone suddenly seems to be competing like an explosion of ability!
In fact, when you are highly concentrated, when you are provoked by warriors in various ways, you may be able to stimulate your own potential!
At this time, the Bucks players really wanted to play against the Warriors, and winning or losing was not necessary for them.
So they're getting better and better on the field!
Green was watching the game from the sidelines at this time. In the first two quarters of the game, they used to be so invincible.
But to say that such a situation has passed, it is only a snap of a finger.
Curry and Tang Shen were a little emotionally pulled. The letter and Tang Shen fell down at the same time, and the referee didn't blow it!
In fact, the first half of the game, for the referees. They are also guilty in their hearts......
Green slapped Ennis in the face, and Ennis whistled for a technical foul, but Green was not sent off for receiving two fouls.
Curry went out of bounds three times, and the benches for Kidd and the Bucks pointed at it, but the referee didn't blow it once.
Bogut's obvious verbal insults to the Bucks players in the first quarter were heard more than once by the three referees present, and there were fans on the sidelines who were frantically scolding the Bucks players.
But again, the referee didn't give Bogut any fouls. Bogut even pushed the referee twice, once pushed the referee to the ground, and stepped on the referee's arm intentionally or unintentionally.
Hehe, these referees haven't forgotten.
There are too many times like this, and they can't help but think, is it really appropriate to go on like this?
Look at the home whistles of the other teams, and then look at theirs. In today's game, the situation at the home whistle is even more serious!
So several referees summed it up in the middle of the field, and if it goes on like this, it won't take a few weeks for them to be kicked out by their own referee organization!
So some of the contradictions in the first half, they will find back in the third quarter of the game.
Curry shook his head in disbelief. His eyes didn't look at the referee, but the smile on his face was palpable. It was clearly Antetokounmpo who had just committed a foul.
The referee suddenly noticed Curry's smile at this time, and directly added a technical foul!
The Warriors fans in the stadium couldn't sit still. The voice of controversy came immediately!
Cole: "We didn't do anything!" Why blow him for a technical foul?! What do you guys think? ”
The head coach of the Warriors is furious! He held the tactical board and yelled excitedly at the referee!
So far this season, he has never suffered such a big grievance!
Referee: "Talk to me again, and I'll get you out of Oracle." Want to try it? It's hard to say whether your team can win at that time~"
Cole: "You!!" Try it...... I think you're right......"
Thinking that if the Warriors were defeated by the Bucks after he left the arena, Kerr went straight to heart.
The referee didn't say anything and just left. Like they take good care of the Warriors now!
The manager just talked to him like this, he could have just let him out of the stadium! That's what he has the right to!
Thompson took the ball to the frontcourt, and he glanced at Curry. At this time, Curry is already very restrained.
Although he didn't know why he was given a technical foul just now. But that can't be helped.
The referee is the biggest in the field. There is no doubt about it. They are the adjudicators in the game.
Thompson has been completely prevented from death at this time! Basketball comes to Bogut! Facing Hansen, in fact, Bogut is still confident that he can beat him.
But at this time, Antetokounmpo was always hanging around him. By the time this game was played, Bogut already had a certain understanding of the ability of letters.
This kid is really good at playing on the field! In the game, he does have the shadow of LeBron James.
In the short time he played in the first half, he dunked with one or two people hanging on his body a few times!!
Time was running out, and at 21 seconds, Bogut turned around and shot and was fanned off by the letters!
Ilyasova saw that the ball was playful, so he immediately rushed out and flew to save the ball!
The basketball came to Li Feng and passed directly to Mayo in less than 1 second!
The Warriors were a little confused. What's going on? When did Li Feng pass the ball so fast?!
When he came over just now, he rehearsed this passing action repeatedly in his mind.
He dribbles the ball, and surely the Warriors will try their best to defend him. But it's not the same with his passing!
In this game, in addition to Parker and Antetokounmpo, the Warriors' main focus was on Li Feng.
Because I did play a lot of good performances in the previous games. So in this game, Li Feng still had a lot of chances.
But in this quarter of the game, he had already figured out that it was mainly to pass the ball to his teammates.
The fact that you can score points is already known in the media. A number of teams are feeling that now, too.
So he can take advantage of everyone's attention to him and pass the ball to his teammates more. If his teammates are guarded tightly, hehe, then he will choose to shoot!
The Warriors are in a bit like the Bucks in the first half.
Defenders can't open up here, so they can only rely on the inside to score. When everyone is used to the Warriors' style of play, Curry and Tang Shen will shoot three points like crazy!
With everyone staring at Mayo, he directly hit a three-point hollow shot! The Bucks hit another three!
Once, in a meeting, Bucks management decided that Kidd's idea was not working.
In offensive tactics, Kidd mentioned the idea of shooting too many three-pointers to close the distance with the opponent, or to open up the score advantage!
But the offer was rejected by the management. In previous seasons, the Warriors proved to be very good in the regular season with this style of play.
But when it comes to the playoffs, it doesn't work. And, so far, no team in the entire league has been able to replicate the Warriors' style of play.
Although now there are more and more three-point practice. But its role is only to stifle the Warriors' offense.
Three-point vs. Warriors, everyone knows, that's tantamount to looking for death......
But although Kidd agreed in words, he refused in his heart. Tactics can even be used sparingly, but the team's three points must be practiced as soon as possible!
Now they're in for a treat! The difference is back to 15 points again! Thompson didn't have a three-pointer in the corner!
The Bucks are about to drag the difference between the two teams back to 10 points!
Cole held back his anger and hugged his shoulders as he watched the live game.
He knew that this game had become suspicious at the beginning of the third quarter!
What are the Bucks doing here? Could it be that they really want to win the game today?
You know, there are a few teams that have started playing basketball in "training" mode since coming to Oracle. Because in terms of overall strength, they can't beat the Warriors at all.
And the Warriors, as the home team, also let the opponent and control the difference to about 20 points. In the end, the opponent scored a few more points.
The difference of more than 10 points is also said in the past. But now, the Bucks are almost crazy about playing against them!
And it's quite effective! Although the quarter is almost over, the opponent has already scored more than 30 points!
The Warriors played this quarter as if they were playing with the "mirror" team. The rest of the Bucks' offense is almost non-existent, just constantly looking for opportunities to shoot threes!
