Chapter 221: It's All Fate

The Bucks are back home with a three-game winning streak on the road.

The next game is quite important for the Bucks, and it is also important for Yi Jianlian.

In their next game, they will face the Magic at home.

The Bucks' three-game winning streak on the road puts them back in second place in the East, but they are one win away from the Magic, and if they lose this game by more than eight points, they will have to return to third place in the East.

So for the Bucks, this game is important.

As for Yi Jianlian himself, the bickering between him and Howard has almost risen to the level of grievances, and this game is naturally very important.

***

"Hey Yi, you've been really good this season!"

The Magic's game is tomorrow, and today is normal training for the Bucks.

As soon as Yi Jianlian entered the locker room, he saw a figure he hadn't seen for a long time - Michael Reed.

Quickly stepped forward and gave a warm hug.

"You're finally back, man, and I've fulfilled my promise to you!"

"Haha, it's just that I'm probably going to be on the court for a while, the doctor just agreed that I should go back to the training ground to do some shooting practice, and it's still a long way to go, so man, you're going to have to hold on for a while!"

"But you won the best week of the week in the first week of January, and I believe in your form!" Michael Reed added.

On January 9, that is, yesterday, the league officially announced the attribution of the first Player of the Week in '09.

The West was taken by Roy of the Trailblazers.

and the east was given to Yi Jianlian.

But the Bucks' first game in '09 obviously lost to the Pacers at home, and lost one game to Yi Jianlian Eastern Conference Weekly Awards, which flattered many Milwaukee die-hard fans:

"The Bucks lost a Weekly Championship to Yi? Is this a conscience find? ”

"Wow, or Yi Jianlian's performance has finally been recognized by the league?"

"Alright! It should be because the Cavaliers also lost one game! ”

Later, they found out that the Cavaliers also lost one. And Yi Jianlian's average of 27.7 points, 7.7 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game in three games surpassed LeBron, which gave him the best of the week.

Of course, this at least shows that the league is now becoming more and more fair to Yi Jianlian, and the league can do this, and the Bucks fans are still very pleased.

Yi Jianlian spread his hands: "I'll try my best!" ”

***

The next day, the Magic team came in a rage.

Due to the many clashes between the two teams this season, the fans at Bradley Arena brought cheering gear tonight, and they wanted to do their best to distract the Magic players.

"As long as they don't play some shameless play, then we will definitely achieve the final victory!"

Howard smelled gunpowder in his pre-game interview.

As for the shameless style of play he mentioned, he naturally referred to the "shark cutting tactic".

In the game in early December, the Magic team could actually win, but the Bucks disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Magic team with constant deliberate fouls, and also destroyed the offensive touch of the Magic team's shooters.

But even so, the Bucks only won by 8 points in the end!

Howard believes that if they dare to play at a normal pace of the game, the Bucks will lose!

Howard's words made this already gunpowder-smelling game even more tense.

This was evident in the atmosphere before the game. The entire stadium was filled with boos, more than the time Kobe Bryant came, and it didn't stop for a moment.

This is obviously enough to call it the home of the devil!

It's a pity that the Devils' home court didn't make the Magic team have a difficult start, but the Bucks, who were full of firepower on the road, returned to their home court but turned off.

In the first quarter, it stumbled, 28-20, trailing by 8 points.

Howard had a stellar first quarter, scoring 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting and 1-of-2 free throws.

The boos in the entire home stadium that were still full of momentum suddenly stopped for more than half.

Howard looked at the deflated crowd at the Bucks' home court, sitting on the bench and shaking his head, not to mention how happy!

Xiao K looks at this and can't do it!

Can't let this grandson kick his nose in the face, Jack, on!

The appearance of white jack made Howard's face change instantly, and in the last game, he was happy to play at the beginning, and all the depression happened after the appearance of this man.

Now, he's there again!

No!

Howard's heart thrimmed.

However, his screams could not stop it from happening.

"Toot!"

"Toot!"

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle kept sounding, well, the "chopping tactics" began again!

"Bang dang", "bang dang" shooting iron sound kept ringing, Howard made free throws and his face was blue but he was powerless, and he could only watch the backward point difference being caught up little by little.

However, after the end of the first round of "chopping Huo", the Magic's shooters did not lose their hands because they had not attacked for too long, and the three-pointers scored in a row opened the score that the Bucks had originally caught up with little by little.

At the end of the first half, the Magic ended the game with a 10-point lead at 56-46.

The Magic's shooters made a total of 10 three-pointers in the first half, and Bradley Arena was flooded by this three-point rain!

Howard, who was depressed by the "cut" in the second quarter, laughed again.

But he didn't know that in this arena, he couldn't laugh!

K: Then I'll let him know.

Coming back in the second half, Xiao K continued to arrange to cut "Huo", and let him make 10 consecutive free throws before he stopped continuing to foul, but what he didn't expect was that these guys on the outside of the Magic team could feel so good today, scoring 10 in the first half, and continuing to exert force in the second half, and 12 more.

Fortunately, the Bucks also opened up on the outside in the second half and returned a few three-pointers.

It's just that this firepower is not as good as the Magic team, and they lost the game 101-108 in the end.

The Magic made a record 22 three-pointers from the game, and the biggest contributor was their bench JJ Redick, who alone made seven three-pointers.

The "stinky mouth man" still has two three-point shots.

It also set a career record for the number of three-pointers he hit in a single game.

"Hahaha, it seems that I really overestimated the Bucks, it turns out that they can't necessarily win us with those rogue tricks, I really feel sorry for them!"

Howard, who won the game, naturally couldn't wait to ridicule the Bucks in front of the media.

However, what made him still a little unhappy was that they only won by 7 points this time, yes, just 7 points!

Hey, it was not easy to tie the win difference, and also avenged the last loss, but as a result, they lost 1 point in the small score, and they can still only rank 3rd in the East!

"It's fate! Superman is destined to be crushed underneath Easy Man! O'Neill taunted on time.
