Chapter 1223 [The villain has ambition, for the sake of feelings]
In the crucial fifth game, the 76ers won 111-105 at home and got the match point 3-2.
Small forward Gallinari was the biggest contributor to the home team's victory, playing 35 minutes and finishing with 31 points, six rebounds and two assists on 10-of-16 shooting, 5-of-7 three-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws.
So far in the playoffs, Gallinari has only played one good game. He averaged 38.2% shooting from the field and 30.2% from three-point range per game, and was dubbed a pseudo-star by fans.
His outburst today was largely due to the tactics arranged by Brad Stevens. "The Young Marshal" asked him to cover his teammates, creating a misplaced opportunity to single the small man before making a move. In the key game, his performance finally deserved the status of an All-Star.
The key figure for the 76ers on the defensive end is Paul Millsap, who is excellent at blocking and helping Kemba Walker to limit Bucks point guard Bledsoe.
"Blood Cloth" is also a regular season player, and as soon as the intensity of the playoff competition increases, his statistics drop significantly. His play relied too much on breakthroughs, and his mid-range shooting was extremely unstable.
Embiid, the core of the Bucks' interior, also played abnormally, and he was still a rookie, with poor shooting options, holding the ball again and again to single-handedly challenge Jokic to shoot iron. He shot 10-of-26, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with just 22 points, 12 rebounds and two assists while shooting 38.5 percent from the field.
Game 6 was played on the home court of the Bucks, and the 76ers led by as many as 19 points in the third quarter, and the Bucks relied on the outside play of Paul George and Tony Snell in the final quarter to chase the score back.
Snell hit four three-pointers in the final quarter, 8-of-11 from the field, and 6-of-8 from three-point range, scoring 22 points on a super-level performance. He's a pure shooter, and if he doesn't break through, he can't make free throws or grab rebounds, so he has to rely on three-pointers to help the team.
The two teams fought until the last minute, and Paul George hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line against Joe Ingles to beat the whistle and beat the 76ers to drag the game into a tiebreaker.
The "Young Marshal" made a last-minute mistake that put Ingles and George in the opposite position. He only felt that the two were about the same height, but Ingles was a less athletic European player, relying on close confrontation in defense and almost no blocking ability.
George showed off his big heart and received great praise after the game. He's the hottest star in the East, and the Bucks are back in the Eastern Conference Finals, and he's not going to make another offer to leave this summer. It's his team, and he's hoping to lead the Bucks to a championship.
It is no longer possible for the Thunder to trade George to the team in the summer, and his popularity is less than that of Wei, and he will not run to the Thunder to be the second leader unless he is crazy.
A reporter interviewed Guo Xu and asked him to predict the outcome of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Guo Xu said that he is more optimistic about the Bucks reaching the Finals because George is an excellent leader. The 76ers have a lot of depth in their roster, but they have just started to rebuild this season, and the players are inexperienced and the core is inferior to George, so they may make mistakes.
As a result, Guo Xu was slapped in the face this time, and he also had times when he couldn't predict accurately.
The tie-break was played on the 76ers' home court, and the Bucks led by 12 points in the first quarter, and the situation was very good. Unexpectedly, the 76ers came off the bench, and 193CM quarterback Gary Harris hit three three-pointers in the second quarter to help the team catch up with the score before halftime.
In the second half, Millsap and D'Angelo Russell started to play again, scoring 10 and 11 points respectively in the first quarter to help the team complete the comeback, leading by seven points into the final quarter.
It was time for Harris's show in the final quarter, and he was like an All-Star when he was convulsed, and he made a burst shot to help the 76ers seal the win two minutes early. The final score was 110-93, and the 76ers returned to the finals after 16 years.
Harris finished with 21 points, three rebounds and one assist on 7-of-12 shooting, 5-of-9 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, setting a new career high in scoring for the playoffs.
Russell, the 2015 All-Round Show, also had a good performance, playing 28 minutes on 7-of-14 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, finishing with 19 points and four assists. His last two games have been better than starting point guard Kemba Walker.
Center Jokic shot 10-of-22, 1-of-4 three-pointers, and 8-of-8 free throws to finish with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, and was the biggest contributor to the 76ers' advancement.
He suppressed Embiid, who shot 5-of-13 from the field, 1-of-5 from three-point range and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 19 points, six rebounds and five assists while shooting just 35.7 percent from the field.
"Young Marshal" Brad Stevens' defensive strategy was very successful, guarding the restricted area to keep Embiid away from the basket and let him shoot from mid-to-long distance. The 76ers players are very active in switching defenses, and if Embiid cuts in the air, the outside player can't stand it and fouls him to shoot free throws.
Embiid's inexperience is once again evident, and he shoots a lot of shots knowing that his shooting is not his strong point. If he goes to the low post to play strongly, he can't easily squeeze to the basket in the face of Jokic. Jokic seems to be chubby and can't jump, but he actually has a lot of strength.
After the game, Russell was in the spotlight, and he couldn't control his mouth when he was excited.
The guy returned to the locker room and tweeted: "I'm so happy, we're starting to look like a whole this season, and the 76ers are making it to the Finals this year and I want to give special thanks to Kobe Bryant, thank you that he's not here anymore." ”
Russell's EQ is too low, and he has the face of a villain. Can he do any good by saying such offending words? In addition to the fans of the 76ers, Knicks, Nets, Mavericks, Warriors, Lakers and other teams who praised him, he couldn't even get five cents, and China pulled out a water army that was better than him.
Then Kobe, who had already entered the holidays, lay down and was shot, and many fans on the Internet were slandering him, saying that he was a cancer.
"The Black Mamba is really poisonous, worthy of being the best sixth man of the 29th team, and all of his teammates have become potential new stars, even the rookies in the second round."
"If the Knicks cut Kobe, he should be in demand in free agency, and the team that wants to rebuild will be right to poach him."
"Will Kobe Bryant come back to the Lakers next season? If he assists the Big Three, the other teams will have the hope of winning the championship again, the competition will become more fierce, and the game will be interesting. ”
Fans can't help but black Kobe, Kobe Bryant's record is amazing, not only the team he plays for four consecutive (bottom), but also helps three teams reach the finals. He left the Warriors, who won two straight championships; He left the Nets, and the Nets made it to the Finals; Now it's the 76ers' turn......
Bryant stayed behind closed doors and did not give any interviews. Otherwise, many reporters will ask how he feels about the 76ers entering the Finals?
He had a fart feeling.
All he cares about now is which team he can go to next.
Knicks management has made it clear that they will cut him and make him a full free agent in the summer. As soon as the regular season ended, owner James Dolan carried out a major purge of the "Lakers department".
There are only a handful of fans discussing where Kobe Bryant will go, and the general argument online is that no matter which team he joins, that team is doomed next season. He can only attract fans who like to watch losing and playing iron, and even black fans are almost gone.
The reduction of Kohei has led to the ratings of the NBA Finals must be very low, no matter how much Xiao Hua promotes Embiid and George, it is useless, and no one expects the 76ers to upset and defeat the Lakers.
If it were in a parallel world with 6 billion Komi, maybe there would be 10 billion Kohei supporting the 76ers, and the better they played, the happier Kohei would be.
It's a pity that on Earth One, Cormitry already belongs to a very rare fan group. In this year's All-Star vote, Kobe Bryant had less than 100,000 votes. Those who voted felt that Kobe Bryant was once a super scorer, and wanted to see him play the last All-Star, mostly for the sake of feelings......
