Chapter 364: Some people really can't stop it
One Yi Jianlian is enough for the Magic team, plus one Crawford, and the players on the Magic team instantly have a numb scalp.
How can you prevent this?
With the two men bombarding each other in a row, the Bucks had a 10-point lead by the final minute of the first half.
The Magic team shot 0-of-3 during this time, and the morale of the entire team suddenly went down.
"Ball!"
Howard was the only guy on the Magic team who was still alive, but as soon as he got the ball and was about to make a powerful dunk to wake up the morale of his teammates, he was interrupted by a foul from Bogut.
"Toot!"
The referee blew the whistle and Howard made two free throws.
But Howard's face wasn't very good-looking!
From the opening to the present, his free throws have been 0 of 5 free throws, and his free throws today are extremely poor.
"Phew!"
But the Milwaukee die-hard fans at the scene did not let him go because of his poor hand, and when Howard walked to the free throw line, the audience immediately burst into boos.
This made Howard, who was holding the ball and preparing to make a free throw, look even more solemn.
"Bang dang!"
In this oppressive atmosphere, how could Howard make free throws, and the first free throw bounced directly into the basket.
"Phew!"
One shot is effective, and the Bucks fans booed even more!
"Bang dang!"
The second free throw hit again, and Bogut protected the rebound.
Howard missed two free throws.
The foul is worth it!
"Over here, Andrew!"
Yi Jianlian's voice sounded, Bogut followed the sound to find it, Yi Jianlian didn't know when it was almost halfway, and he was waving his hand to ask Bogut for the ball!
Bogut did not hesitate at all, a high lob ball was given not far in front of Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian accelerated to chase the ball, and the moment he scooped up the ball was almost the distance where he could go to the basket.
"Ho!"
With two big strides straight to the basket, Yi Jianlian dunked with one arm, grabbed the frame and roared at the Magic players chasing behind him.
The audience, which had already begun to be agitated, cheered completely because of Yi Jianlian's roar.
The tidal cheers drowned out the Magic players who were playing on the road, and they organized an attack in a panic, and the final attack of the first half ended with a strike.
12 points!
The Bucks led the Magic by 12 points into the second half.
Yi Jianlian's performance in the first half was particularly eye-catching, with 22 points in the first quarter and 12 points in the second quarter, and a total of 34 points in the entire first half, which undoubtedly broke Yi Jianlian's own playoff half-time scoring record.
In addition, Yi Jianlian also got 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
The second eye-catching performance was Crawford, who scored 13 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, which was the second scoring point that caused the Magic team the most headache after Yi Jianlian.
Yi set a new record for his own scoring in the playoffs in the first half, scoring 22 points in a single quarter, only 4 points away from the NBA playoffs' highest scoring record of 26 points in a single quarter, and the 34 points he scored in the first half were only 1 point away from the playoff halftime scoring record!"
"What a terrifying scoring ability!"
Kenny Smith counted a series of statistics broken by Yi Jianlian in the first half, and after the statistics, he sighed as usual.
"Well, this also proves how determined Yi is to defeat the Magic!" Barkley added.
***
Yi Jianlian's angry bombardment after the fast break back dunk before the end of the first half still had a big impact on the morale of the Magic team, but there was still no relief at the end of a halftime.
The Bucks continued to dominate in the third quarter, and head coach K Jr. didn't give him a chance at all today, and while the Magic were already struggling to fight back, he once again strengthened the Bucks' defense.
At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks' lead reached 15 points.
Seeing that the game was about to run for garbage time, Howard suddenly made a move at this time, first scoring two consecutive goals on the offensive end with an uncommon small hook, and then two consecutive big hats in the defensive section to stop the Bucks' offensive momentum.
The margin slowly returned to within double digits as Howard made a strong effort.
It looked like the game was about to return to a stalemate.
Yi Jianlian didn't agree!
First, after cooperating with Mo Williams' classic counterrun outside the three-point line, he shot a three-pointer in the face of Nelson Jr., and then simply did not change the defense in the following round, and directly faced Barnes to score another three-pointer.
Two three-pointers extended the score to 15 points again!
It also made the Magic team finally gain momentum under Howard's play, and suddenly fell silent again.
Refusing to stalemate is to press you to fight!
"Tonight's Yi is so unreasonable, but it is really impressive!"
"Especially his three-point shot, he won the All-Star Weekend three-point shooting contest this season, and won the three-point king in the regular season, which is already very surprising to me, but now he can still use the three-point shot to stabilize the situation at critical moments on the playoff stage, which is enough to prove that his three-point ability is already the top in the league!"
The score was pulled away this time, and the Magic team no longer had anyone who could stand up, Howard's ability on the offensive end was far inferior to his defensive end, even when he was in his prime, you can't expect him to stand up and score at every critical moment, after all, once he hits the ball in a row, he will always be deliberately fouled by the opponent to disrupt the offensive rhythm.
109 to 97, the Magic team was boiled to death by such a warm boiled frog.
Yi Jianlian scored a total of 48 points in the whole game, compared with his performance on the offensive end in the first half, his firepower in the second half has been reduced, but he still used two three-pointers at the most critical moment to extinguish the last trace of hope for the Magic team's counterattack!
He also had eight assists and 13 rebounds, as well as two steals and one block.
The most important thing is that he only had 1 mistake!
In such a high-intensity game, he made only one mistake, which shows Yi Jianlian's concentration in this game.
The Bucks also scored more than 20 points in Crawford, who scored 25 points in this game.
In this game against the Magic, Crawford took his qualities as a nerve knife to the extreme, perfectly interpreting what it means to shoot without defense.
He only conceded one goal in the first half, and he shot that one from the open field, and the number of goals he conceded in the second half increased significantly, but he still only scored two open shots, and all the other goals were the kind of goals that only appear in the high-difficulty goal collection.
Especially today, he also got a "3 plus 1"!
Raised his career "3 plus 1" to 48, the most in NBA history.
I have to say that some people really can't stop it!
