On April 19, the 76ers continued to play their second game against the Bucks on their home court.

Zhang had 33 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and Rondo had 18 points as they led a small surge in the third and fourth quarters to establish a double-digit lead as they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 87-76 in Game 2 of the first-round series.

On April 21, the Raptors lost to the 76ers 98-104 at their home court, Bradley Center, and fell behind 0-3.

On April 23, it was still Bradley Center.

"Sweep?"

When asked by a reporter about Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo said firmly, "Although we are now 0-3 down, even we lost the chance to advance in this round. But definitely not tonight. We refuse to sweep! ”

Bucks coach Jason. Kidd also shouted in an interview, "Yes, the 76ers are very strong, but we're not going to let a sweep happen." We're going to win against the 76ers tonight. ”

As the Bucks said before the game, this one the Bucks fought hard.

Amid the cheers of the Bucks fans across the court, the Bucks showed their determination as soon as they opened the game.

Ibaka, who had an excellent performance in the first three games, had no way to deal with Antetokounmpo in this one.

Instigated by Antetokounmpo, Middleton hit four shots in the opening game, while Antetokounmpo already had three assists, and they started the game 13-6.

Antetokounmpo himself was not relentless, and in the middle of the quarter, he hit a three-pointer, waited for a layup, and the Bucks scored nine points in a row. Opened the gap at 26-10.

Antetokounmpo scored 10 points in the first quarter to give the Bucks a 32-12 lead.

Brett. Brown never sat down on the sidelines from the beginning to the end of the halftime, roaring again and again, but he couldn't wake up the players.

The rest of the 76ers were out of form today, and Rondo made a couple of low-level passing errors that sent the ball straight into the hands of the opponent.

The 76ers were pressed and beaten by the Bucks, and they couldn't open a scoring drought for a long time. Brown had no choice but to replace Zhang Zifeng not long after the start of the second quarter.

Seeing that his teammates failed to shoot in the vacant position, Zhang Zifeng had no choice but to come by himself.

Forced a shot in front of Snell and then stole Milston's pass for a layup.

Zhang Zifeng scored 7 points with a free throw to help the 76ers narrow the score.

But in order to win, the Bucks changed their previous defensive attitude this time, not only to trap Zhang Zifeng, but also to limit Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng received a pass on the outside, shook off Snell with a virtual swing, and hit the inside, Europe stepped past Antetokounmpo, and Zhang Zifeng stuck the opponent when he made a layup.

Syllable!

Antetokounmpo saw that he couldn't prevent it, so he directly slapped Zhang Zifeng's arm fiercely, and the loud sound could be transmitted all over the world through the TV.

The basketball in Zhang Zifeng's hand suddenly couldn't catch it and slipped out of bounds.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and the referee only made a foul gesture for a beater.

Zhang Zifeng saw that he angrily stretched out his red and swollen arm in front of the referee's eyes and said, "Sir, look, this is not an ordinary foul, you should give the opponent a malicious foul!" ”

The referee didn't even glance at his eyes and shouted: "I'm the referee, I know the scale of the penalty." If you continue to pester, I don't mind giving you a trick! ”

Seeing that the referee insisted on only giving the hitter a foul, Zhang Zifeng had no choice but to accept it and walked to the free throw line.

The first penalty is missed.

In the second penalty, Zhang Zifeng shook his arm and took a deep breath before throwing the ball. The ball stumbled before it landed in the hoop.

The Bucks' Zhang Zifeng adopted a ferocious foul tactic, plus the referee probably saw that the 76ers had a 0-3 lead, and this was the home court of the Bucks, and the referee intentionally or unintentionally favored the Bucks.

This made Zhang Zifeng's state interrupted again and again.

The tingling pain on his arm also affected Zhang Zifeng's feel, and in the second quarter, Zhang Zifeng only made 3 of 11 shots, completely lacking the state of the first three games.

In addition to Antetokounmpo's excellent form, the Bucks' bench was also very competitive, and with 7:24 left in the second quarter, Monroe scored a layup in the air relay.

Beasley hit a three-pointer and the pair scored seven straight points to give the Bucks a 31-point lead at 48-17.

With 2:03 left in the quarter, Middleton hit a free throw to give the Bucks a 57-25 lead.

After that, although Sharic scored five consecutive points, the 76ers still trailed 30-57 at the end of the first half.

Falling behind so much at halftime, in addition to the Bucks' desperateness, more problems are still with the 76ers themselves.

Zhang Zifeng was difficult to support alone, and with the Bucks' bag and defensive side exposure to him, Zhang Zifeng did not perform well in the first half.

Only 14 points were scored.

In the third quarter, although Zhang Zifeng, who is familiar with the referee's penalty scale, fought back, it was a pity that the whole team of the 76ers continued to slump.

In this quarter, teammates failed to give much help, even if Zhang Zifeng scored 12 points in a single quarter, the team still only scored 18 points. The Bucks led by as many as 34 points, trailing 78-57.

The gap in the first three quarters has reached more than 30 points, and it can be said that there is not much suspense about the outcome of the game.

Brett. Brown simply replaced several of the main players who were not in form at all and replaced them with a one-pole substitute.

The 76ers gave up the game and instead played with momentum, with Saric and Stauskas each hitting a three-pointer to tie the score at 56-82. The smallest gap between the two sides was 23 points, with Antetoquin scoring back-to-back games to put the Bucks up 93-63 midway through the quarter.

In the end, the 76ers lost the game 88-107, and the Bucks tied the overall score at 1-3.

After the game, the 76ers didn't go back right away.

Brett. Brown is furious because of his players' poor performance!

"Do you feel like you've won the game and can relax?" Brett. Brown was in a good temper, but this time he was clearly really angry, and his palm slapped on the cabinet in the visiting team's dressing room. "It's a game against the Bucks today, and you dared to go to a nightclub last night to play all night?! Don't you look at the timing?! ”

No one in the 76ers dared to refute, so they had to lower their heads and look at each other, but in the end, they could only secretly look at their captain.

Zhang Zifeng also lowered his head a little weakly.

You bastards, you dare to play so high. Damn, all of them are still weak in their legs, and they don't have the strength to play on the court, they can only play ha.

And the most important thing is that I didn't call Lao Tzu when I played. Now that he has provoked the head coach, he wants Lao Tzu to be on top.

Don't even think about it.

Zhang Zifeng's eyes were closed, and I didn't see anything. Coach you continue to scold, scold a little more, scold a little harder.

A bunch of bastards!

Brett. After Brown yelled at them again, he shouted, "Tomorrow the training will be doubled, who would dare to be lazy." Don't expect to play! ”

Train doubled!

Hehe......

Tell you bastards to fool around, let you bastards lose, and let you bastards not call me.

Zhang Zifeng, who lowered his head, secretly gloated.
