Is Horford tired?

Definitely tired, as the heart of the Hawks' offensive end, he constantly backs up to Bogut, a first-class rim protector on the inside who is gradually starting to make a name for himself throughout the league with his strength.

Not only that, but he also has to face Yi Jianlian's constant impact on the basket.

What's more, he's been on the court for almost 36 minutes, the most minutes of any player on the Hawks' court so far, and even Josh Smith has played two minutes less than him in this game.

As the object of pre-game media comparison, Yi Jianlian has played less time so far, only 32.7 minutes.

As the Atlanta sports announcer put it, Al Horford is the hope for the future for the Eagles, but they don't pay enough attention to and protect that hope.

***

Yi Jianlian is still strong, and at this time, he will face Horford again, and he doesn't even need to do feints, he hopes that there will be some physical contact to achieve the purpose of constantly consuming Horford's physical strength.

"Phew!"

Yi Jianlian and Horford stuck together, but this time, Horford could only barely create obstacles for Yi Jianlian, and he couldn't change the direction of Yi Jianlian's march at all.

"He's so tired!"

Seeing this, Max Pierce couldn't help but whisper, and at the same time felt a little pity, if the rest of the Hawks could have given Horford enough support, this game should have been more exciting.

Just now...... As long as the Bucks players keep creating opportunities for Yi Jianlian to play Horford in a misplaced position, then maybe it's over!

"Smack!"

Uh, it's not over yet!

Yi Jianlian, who thought he had scored a steady goal, was covered in the next second!

Max Pierce was a little embarrassed, he just thought that the game was going to end, and Yi Jianlian was covered, which is more or less metaphysical!

Yes, it shouldn't have anything to do with me!

Being easy to blow, Max Pierce feels like his pot......

The one who covered Yi Jianlian was Sheldon Williams, this thing has a nickname called thief in the future, phew, no, it's called "landlord", which means that entering the three-second zone is his territory, and if you want to do anything, you have to ask his big long arm to agree or not.

With a height of 205cm and an arm span of 225cm, Sheldon Williams is simply not human!

"No wonder Al didn't squeeze me just now!"

Yi Jianlian found that he was fooled again, because Horford was not too tired when he was sticking to him, and he couldn't use his strength, but he didn't exert his strength, and Yi Jianlian's entire attention was unconsciously focused on him, and only at the moment he shot did he notice that there was movement on the other side of him!

Is... A stinking and shameless team.

Seeing Horford and Sheldon high-five, Yi Jianlian pursed his lips and scolded again, stinky and shameless!

"It's okay, easy, back to defense!"

Big Brother looked at Yi Jianlian's indignant appearance, and the old rule was to slap his ass first and comfort him.

With 42.3 seconds left, the Bucks are leading by 3 points, even if Yi Jianlian's ball was covered just now, but it is not in a bad situation, as long as they can prevent the Hawks this wave, the situation is still in their favor.

If it is the "small ball era" and trailing by 3 points at this point in time, then it is not said, the head coach's arrangement must be a three-point tie tactic.

Anyway, as long as you play fast enough, you can attack at least twice, and it's totally worth the risk.

But in this period, more managers are opting for a quick break to score two points.

Tristocs is an example of this type of manager.

It's not so much that it's more secure, but that in this period, inside scoring is still a more mainstream means, and those who get inside win the world, and the closer they are to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

Josh Smith hit the basket and missed it, but he drew a foul and hit two free throws to close the gap to one point.

Little K didn't call a timeout, and with 31.8 seconds left, Mo Williams signaled a timeout after slowly walking through the half with the ball.

With 23.6 seconds left in the game, the Bucks had 17.2 seconds left on offense.

The reason why Xiao K did this is also very simple, that is, to delay as much time as possible, if Josh Smith just scored two free throws and he called a timeout, then it is very likely that the Hawks will use full-court pressing to force the Bucks players to complete the offense as soon as possible, to achieve the purpose of destroying the tactics, and Xiao K's timeout is equivalent to calling for nothing.

He simply let Mo Williams waste some time first, and then called a timeout, and through the half-court serve, he could still quickly organize and initiate tactics.

But the Eagles didn't dare to press the defense easily.

After all, there's not a lot of time, and now there are only 23.6 seconds left.

With only one point trailing at the moment, Tristotts certainly won't take the risk of forcing the Bucks for his own offensive time.

If it were self-defeating and let the Bucks find a defensive hole and score to extend the score to 3 points, it would be a bit more than worth the loss.

Once the Hawks defend normally, it won't be difficult for the Bucks to complete an offensive strategy on a regular basis.

It's a little trick to call a timeout.

As a representative coach of the academy, Xiao K said that this is a compulsory course.

***

After the pause, sure enough, the Hawks players quickly returned to their respective positions after the interference was fruitless, and set up a defensive formation, focusing on Michael Reid on the outside, Yi Jianlian on the inside, and Claisketon on the No. 1 position was sticking to Mo Williams.

Stotts expected that the Bucks' No. 1, 2 and 3 picks for the final attack had all arranged defenders, and they were ready to defend this ball, and they would have a chance to kill.

"You must hold it!"

Mo Williams dribbled with his back to protect the ball, and while delaying the time as explained by Xiao K, he directed his teammates to run.

Although Claisketon had a slight disturbing posture, his whole body did not move, and he cleverly stuck to Mo Williams to ensure that he did not lose his position.

In the last 14 seconds before the end of the game, in the last 8 seconds of the Bucks' 24-second offensive time limit, Mo Williams made a big turn to try to shake off Criesketon, but where is the defense of the Spurs players that you can get rid of with a turn, the latter took two steps back, opened the distance from Mo Williams, and pasted Mo Williams again.

This dexterous little step made Mo Williams stunned.

Hey, I can't see it! The young man still has this hand?

However, even if he didn't shake it off, Mo Williams's starting acceleration was complete, and a simple forward body cross directly got Claisketon out.

Did my best!

Claisketon didn't stop, he followed closely behind Williams, but he was one position behind, and Williams was fully off the ground again, and he couldn't catch up at all.

"Joe!"

Tristotts shouted in a hurry.

Joe Johnson hurriedly posted it, but Mo Williams did not slow down, and when he was about to entangle with Joe Johnson, a sharp stop after moving to the right, Joe Johnson was also freed.

After connecting the two, Mo Williams chose to shoot directly......
