I’m Really Playing Basketball - Chapter 897
On June 11, 2022, the G5 finals between the Bucks and the Warriors will continue at the Golden Eagle Arena in Milwaukee.
Because before the start of this game, the big score between the Warriors and the Bucks was already 3-1, and the Warriors had already got the match point. Therefore, the Warriors only need to win any game in the next game. Get the championship.
Therefore, from the beginning of this game, Jordan, the president of the NBA, will follow the game with the championship trophy and the fmvp trophy.
If the Warriors can successfully win this game, then he can award this game. If the Warriors lose this game, they have to continue to run around with the game.
Under the 22111 competition system, to be honest, not only players will run more and more, they will be more tired, even the audience is actually very busy.
And this year’s finals have a very special meaning.
Because this final is likely to be the last championship that Chen Xiao won in his career, many fans of Chen Xiao do not want to miss such a grand event and choose to follow the game all the time.
Let alone these ordinary Chen Xiao fans, like Dayao, Wade, Rogo, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, O’Neal, Driver, Manu Ginobili, Rose, Jimmy Butler, Cousins, Granger, Luo Yin and other Chen Xiao’s friends and teammates also chose to follow the game from the beginning of this game to witness the last glory of Chen Xiao’s career.
In his 20-year career, Chen Xiao has brought out countless players. In fact, there are more than 20 players above the All-Star level.
In the Nets when the boss, Boozer, Martin, Richard Jefferson, in the Cavaliers James, Tyson Chandler, Darius Miles, Gerald Wallace, Gram Lawford, more so with the Bobcats and Warriors.
And these people, this game, all came to the scene.
If Chen Xiao can’t end the Bucks in this game, then they will follow the Warriors to Golden State.
So, before this game started, many experts said that this game will be a big gathering of the NBA, this is really no joke.
Before the start of the game, tnt made a statistic on the audience of the game. Almost all of the NBA’s 75 biggest stars this year came to the scene, except for those who died.
You know, the NBA officials did not invite them, they all came here spontaneously.
After all, not to mention Chen Xiao’s status in the NBA, it’s just that Chen Xiao was crowned the championship for the 11th time in his career. This is enough for people to come to the scene to witness.
The next time such a player appears again, and such a grand event occurs again, I don’t know when it will be.
Because of the particularity of this game, because of the particularity of Chen Xiao and the Warriors winning the championship, the crowd of celebrities in this game is really large.
But for both sides already on the court at this point, such a celebrity audience is certainly unlikely to affect them.
The Bucks’ starting players at home in this game have not changed, center Portis, power forward Antetokounmpo, small forward Durant, guards are Holiday and Curry.
It’s not that they don’t want to change, it’s that they really can’t.
On the Warriors side, the starting lineup for this game is center Chen Xiao, power forward Wiggins, small forward Kelai, shooting guard Alexander, and point guard Morant.
This is also the same as the starting two games at home.
Compared with the Bucks who cannot change, the Warriors can actually change.
Even before the game, many experts believed that the Warriors should be a little more conservative in this game, and would put the defensive Herbert Jones or Marvin Bagley in the starting lineup to increase the team’s strength. defense.
But at the end of the game, the two sides started the game, and Kerr’s aggressiveness still surprised these NBA experts.
“Those who think that Kerr will change in this game don’t know too much about the Warriors and God. God wants to achieve invincible singles now, and he needs his teammates to create enough space for him. When the Deer team used the Big Three to attack frantically, God had to stand up with his teammates and could only maximize his own offense. Anyway, if he couldn’t defend against his opponent, he couldn’t use the limited space to enhance useless defense. ”
“I think the only thing Kerr thought about before the game was whether to start with Michael Porter Jr. or Alexander, and finally he played Alexander. This shows that Kerr believes that the Warriors players are in Chen Xiaohe. It is also important to have a third super-strong ball-handling point outside of Morant, which is to prevent the Bucks’ gambling-style defense God and Morant, the Warriors have no one to sort out the offense, and finally there is an offensive chaos. ”
I have to say that Maizi’s pre-match analysis is still very correct. Before the start of this game, Kerr’s only entanglement was this point.
In this finals, Michael Porter Jr.’s three-point shot is better than Alexander. If Michael Porter Jr. is used as a shooter around Morant and Chen Xiao, it is naturally better, and even the defense can be better. Better, after all, Michael Porter Jr. is taller.
But after weighing it again and again, Kerr gave up this idea. The Bucks’ defense is not as strong as the Lakers, but it is also strong. It is better to be a little more secure.
Therefore, others see the Warriors’ starting lineup and think that Kerr is taking the ultimate risk in this game.
As everyone knows, Kerr is actually conservative in this game.
In the center of the court, tonight is Chen Xiao and Portis jumping the ball. Chen Xiao’s bouncing now, let him jump the ball. Isn’t this a gift.
So Chen Xiao didn’t even jump. Instead, he stretched out his hand a little, and immediately retreated.
The Bucks took the lead, and Curry received a return ball from Antetokounmpo and did not rush to push the fast break.
The Warriors have a small lineup and poor defensive position, but the speed of retreat is really fast.
If the Bucks want to play the rhythm, that’s in the Warriors’ favor.
For the Warriors’ starting lineup, the most difficult thing to defend is actually the position.
After the Bucks fall into position, whether it is Dooku’s pick-and-roll, Curry and Antetokounmpo’s pick-and-roll, or even Antetokounmpo and Durant’s pick-and-roll, the Bucks are basically unable to guard against one. .
So in the end, the Warriors were also very good, that is, like the Bucks, they directly shrunk together.
With the exception of Curry, if the other Bucks players are shooting from the perimeter, the Warriors’ interference is actually very limited.
This is also a test of the shooting ability and feel of the Bucks players.
I have to say that the Bucks and the Warriors are really interesting. Not only do the team building systems are the same, but the advantages and disadvantages are the same. Even in the end, the two teams have different ways of attacking and defending. it’s the same.
After all, Kerr began to learn the five minors of former Bucks legendary coach Terry Porter more than ten years ago, and the Bucks head coach Ray Allen is a student brought out by Terry Porter. Because of Terry Porter’s five minors, Ray Allen’s career has risen from a superstar to a historic supergiant. Mr. 30,000 points, scoring champion, mvp, three points, and the top five in the Barkley monster list forever.
So, in a sense, Ray Allen and Cole are actually brothers, but Ray Allen is a direct descendant, and Cole is a steal.
It’s just that, although it was a steal, Cole really learned the essence.
And this is also the reason why the Bucks are extremely difficult every time they face the Warriors, even if they are dominant in the NBA in recent years.
The two teams are not exactly the same, they can also be said to be twins, and they know each other too well.
This incomparable understanding of each other is sometimes really painful.
For example, Curry, who was entangled by Klai after handing the ball to Antetokounmpo on the court at this time.
Curry made two consecutive fake runs to get out of his pocket to retrieve the basketball in Antetokounmpo’s hands, but he was seen through by Klai in two consecutive runs.
This is really painful for Curry and a headache for Antetokounmpo.
Durant is the pillar for Curry, Antetokounmpo passes the ball, and Curry moves. The three-person offensive system can be said to be really unfavorable when facing other opponents.
But against the Warriors…
Not to mention other times, just say how many times has the Warriors cracked this finals?
In the end, there was no way, Antetokounmpo failed to find Curry in the first time, and could only hit the ball to Durant.
Durant, who received the ball one step at the three-point line, dribbled the ball one step, and faced Wiggins’ help defense, and made a mid-range jumper.
Durant’s singles are still stable, but for the Bucks, they could have played a solid three-point shot, but in the end it could only become such a two-point shot.
This is very regrettable.
And more importantly, with the deepening of the finals, Curry was entangled by Kelai, and Durant’s shooting space was also getting smaller. If he was facing other teams just now, Durant didn’t need to take a step at all. Can be pulled directly.
The reason for the move is because the defender who originally defended Antetokounmpo was also by his side.
To play against other opponents, other teams want to block Curry’s movement and need at least one and a half defenders, and one defender is simply not enough.
But this time in the finals, Kelai entangled Curry by himself.
Although it is said that Curry can still average 20+ per game in this finals, and the efficiency is good, but basically, the entire finals did not explode.
It is precisely because Curry was entangled by Kelai at this point that the Bucks’ offense was said to be invincible, but it was actually not that invincible.
Moreover, if Curry can’t get rid of Klai’s entanglement, the Bucks’ offense will become more and more difficult to play in the future.
On the contrary, on the Warriors side, everyone in the starter can shoot, Morant is so sharp, and Chen Xiao is so capable of pick-and-roll screens, the Warriors’ offense is the real invincible offense!
Although the firepower of the Big Three is stronger, if everyone doesn’t feel explosive, it’s really better than offense. The Bucks can’t actually beat the Warriors now.
When it was the Lakers’ turn to attack, Morant and Chen Xiao picked and rolled, which was the most troublesome routine for the Bucks.
In order to prevent Morant from going straight to the basket, at the moment of the two-man pick-and-roll, the Bucks would flank the two to delay Morant’s inward cut. After the delay, they would expand to defend Chen Xiao.
In fact, this process is very fast. At least, the players of the Bucks feel that their delays are faster than most teams in the NBA.
But no matter how fast, it still gave Chen Xiao space to shoot.
And Chen Xiao, in the face of this kind of space shot, it is really stable!
In the face of Portis who came out this time, Chen Xiao did not shoot directly this time. Instead, he took a step to his side and flew to Portis, and then he calmly shot from the open space beyond the three-point line.
A swipe!
Three point hit!
3 to 2!
When the basketball hollowed into the net, the wheat on the sideline looked at the players on the Bucks court with sympathy: “The Bucks have no choice, the Warriors have too much space on the court, in such a large space, there is no Man can defend God one-on-one, and he can play Portis with 10,000 words!”
Of course, Portis is not completely right. He clearly knows that he is a pair of Chen Xiao, he should not fly, but should stand there, keep disturbing Chen Xiao at any time, and cannot guess Chen Xiao with cleverness. what to do step by step.
Let’s just put it this way, Chen Xiao has played in the NBA for 20 years. In these 20 years, Chen Xiao has played nearly 400 playoff games. Let’s just say that Chen Xiao is the player who has played the most games in the history of the NBA.
Chen Xiao’s basketball is really perfect now.
Playing clever in front of Chen Xiao is courting death.
Of course, although Portis had some problems with his defense just now, no one blamed him. When you put him in front of Chen Xiao, you shouldn’t blame him for what he did.
Because, that person is Chen Xiao, the **** of basketball!
No one blamed Portis, but Portis himself had a hard time.
Fortunately, in the return attack, Curry finally pushed Kelai once and hit a three-pointer in response.
This time Curry pushed away, and the referee didn’t call a foul.
Claire himself did not complain.
In this year’s finals, he and Curry had so many off-ball contacts. If you really want to study it carefully, 90% of the contacts are enough to call a foul.
Since the two played without the ball, the two have long been used to the fact that the referee basically ignores the fact that the ball is off the ball in the playoffs.
So, in this finals, which group has the strongest matchup?
Not Durant and Wiggins, Antetokounmpo and Chen Xiao, but Claire and Curry!
In the no-ball test that no one pays attention to, UU reads www. uukanshu.com The two wrestled almost every time they came into contact.
Therefore, the three-pointer made by Curry just now made the audience even more jubilant.
Because it is difficult, it is wonderful!
Because it was difficult, even though it was just starting, Curry roared like a lore after he hit his first three-pointer.
For a time, with Curry’s roar, the intensity of the game that was originally very intense was pulled up again.
Faced with the intensity of the sudden pull, Kerr was frowning, because they began to fall behind in the game.
And Ray Allen next to him is also frowning, because they were originally weak in physical strength, and now they consume more physical strength.
But neither frowning coach called a timeout to interrupt the rhythm.
Because this sudden rhythm not only brought a crisis, but they also saw a turning point!
