In this round, the 76ers played against the Bucks.

As the referee's whistle blew, the game officially began.

The referee tossed the ball high and as soon as it landed, Knoll picked the ball to the backcourt as soon as possible.

Seeing the 76ers steal the ball at the beginning, the fans immediately rang out with thunderous cheers to encourage the players.

Rondo received the ball and advanced quickly, and Zhang Zifeng hurriedly ran to the front court.

Snell stood at the three-point line to mark Zhang Zifeng, and the team's assistant competition before the game had put Zhang Zifeng's detailed information in front of him, including Zhang Zifeng's strengths and weaknesses, commonly used offensive methods, the most common offensive areas, the best shooting areas, and the areas with poor shooting percentage.

Seeing such a thick book, Snell was also numb.

It's just that there is no way, the assistant coach supervises, and Snell can only watch it hard.

After reading it, Snell has a certain understanding of Zhang Zifeng.

This guy has a wide offensive area, from the three-point line to the restricted area.

The offensive means are very rich, and mid-range shots, pull-up jump shots, small throws, and layups are all his forte.

In addition to his excellent offense, he also has a good defense.

Good defensive awareness, strong sense of position, fast negotiation and complement defense.

Of course, Zhang Zifeng's shortcomings are also listed in the information.

Physical fitness issues are at the top of the list.

According to the characteristics of Zhang Zifeng and the 76ers, this game Bucks coach Jason . Kidd's strategy is to consume, try to lure Zhang Zifeng to attack, and when defending, he also focuses on Zhang Zifeng, consuming Zhang Zifeng's physical strength. When Zhang Zifeng's fitness problems occurred in the fourth quarter, it was time for the Bucks to fight back.

Snell firmly remembered the coach's instructions and did not interfere with Zhang Zifeng's receiving of the ball, allowing the opponent to receive the ball smoothly.

As soon as he saw Zhang Zifeng receiving the ball, Snell immediately pasted it. Other teammates strengthened their defense of other players on the 76ers, so as not to let other players of the 76ers help Zhang Zifeng.

After receiving the ball, I saw that Snell was not clinging to himself like his previous opponents, and he was uncharacteristically standing on the three-point line.

Now that there is space, Zhang Zifeng will certainly not miss it and jump immediately.

At this time, Snell hurriedly pounced, but Zhang Zifeng would not give him a chance to regret it.

Shot, ball in, three-pointer.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng opening the scoring for the team, 76ers fans immediately cheered.

TNT live commentator Barkley also said puzzled, "Could it be that the Bucks know that they are going to lose today, so they don't defend Zhang Zifeng!" ”

Kenny. Smith shook his head and said, "Charles, how is this possible. It's the playoffs now, and no team is going to let up! ”

"Then why didn't Snell strengthen his defense for the first time after Zhang Zifeng received the ball. You must know that letting Zhang Zifeng shoot in an empty position is equivalent to giving away points, what is the difference between this and suicide? ”

Seeing Snell let Zhang Zifeng score so easily, Bucks coach Jason. Kidd was going mad.

While Brogton was advancing with the ball, Jason. Kidd pulled Snell to his side and said, "Man, I'm hoping to tempt Zhang Zifeng to attack, but not to let you loose up on defense. Strengthen the defense and put pressure on the opponent. to consume the opponent's stamina. Got it? ”

Snell nodded hurriedly.

"Up, step up the offense!"

Back on the field, Snell stuck Zhang Zifeng behind him and reached out to ask.

This is Jason. Kidd arranged before the game, attacking Snell's side more before the opening, consuming Zhang Zifeng's physical strength.

After receiving a pass on the inside, the other players immediately walked away and pulled away from the defenders, and Snell singled Zhang Zifeng with his back.

The left hand contracted on the body, Snell continued to slash back, Zhang Zifeng gritted his teeth and resisted the opponent, not letting the opponent advance into the penalty area.

Seeing that he couldn't advance easily, Snell gritted his teeth, shook his shoulders, and then suddenly turned around and jumped up.

Snell threw the ball so hard that it bounced off the basket.

Ibaka grabbed the rebound, and Rondo immediately fast-breaked.

When he got to the front court and saw that the Bucks were ready, Rondo passed back to Zhang Zifeng, who was following him.

This time, Snell grabbed it in time, but Zhang Zifeng suddenly sank and started to kill the inside.

Snell hurried to follow, and Zhang Zifeng had already entered the penalty area. When Merkel pounced, Zhang Zifeng made a quick stop jump shot.

0-4！

Jason. Kidd shouted, "Keep an eye on it a little more and put pressure on the other party!" ”

Scoring two goals in a row for the opponent, even if it was a tactic arranged before the game, Snell was still very unhappy.

After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, Snell ran outside the three-point line and made a pick-and-roll with Antetokounmpo, and Snell used the cover to rush inside.

Zhang Zifeng immediately followed.

Facing the inside of Ibaka, Snell changed direction in front of the body, shook the opponent in one step, and entered the restricted area, Snell jumped up and was about to go to the basket.

Zhang Zifeng jumped out and slapped Snell's detached ball.

"Man, 76ers specialty, Philadelphia hot pot, buy one get one free!" After landing, Zhang Zifeng shouted at Snell.

Snell saw Zhang Zifeng's smug look, which made you proud now, and you can still laugh out loud in the fourth quarter.

Snell snorted, "Let's see who can have the last laugh!" ”

Zhang Zifeng said confidently, "Of course it's us!" ”
