I’m Really Playing Basketball - Chapter 900
In the last quarter of the game, on the Warriors side, apart from Chen Xiao, the other four players were Anthony, Wiggins, Klai, and Morant.
Except for Anthony for Alexander, the other players are all starters.
On the Bucks side, without saying, the players on the court are their five starters, Portis, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Curry and Zhu Holiday.
With Chen Xiao hitting two points at the whistle in the third quarter, the two sides were tied, and it is indeed time for the bayonet to see red.
In the fourth quarter, the Bucks took the lead.
Because the buzzer was tied in the third quarter, the pressure on the Bucks is so great that it is suffocating.
Let’s just put it this way, under the circumstances of the Warriors’ crazy pursuit of points and Chen Xiao’s strong performance in the third quarter, ordinary people simply can’t stand it.
Even James in the stands felt that in such an atmosphere, he might not even dare to take a shot.
So suffocating!
After all, under such a lot of pressure, as long as this attack does not score, the morale and psychological pressure on the team is huge, and it is so huge that it is unbearable.
And the first attack of the Bucks in the fourth quarter, in the curiosity of everyone, played very miraculously, why do you say miraculous?
Because under such huge pressure, Curry, who originally received the baseline ball, was entangled with him, and he didn’t dare to dribble the ball. This is not because Curry’s psychological quality is not good enough, but at this time, no details can go wrong. Kelai’s defense in this game is too tough. If he really dribbles for a long time, he is very likely to make mistakes.
Therefore, Curry handed the ball to Durant in front of him for the first time after Antetokounmpo got rid of Kelai.
And Durant received a pass from Curry, accelerated through half court, and came to a situation of two steps beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the left. In the face of the danger of Durant’s dramatic change in direction, David did not dare to go. Jins, directly pulled up high.
This directly stunned Wiggins, not only Wiggins, but all the audience in the entire arena, all the audience in front of the TV, all stunned.
For Wiggins, a defensive player, he really didn’t expect Durant to attack like this.
But a normal defensive player would never think of it.
When the team is under so much pressure, players of Curry’s level focus on stability and dare not make mistakes. Under such circumstances, Durant’s biggest possibility is to break through and get two points.
So Wiggins has no problem defending on the 3-point line.
But who knows, Durant is directly two steps away from the three-point line or even close to three steps away, and just pulls like this.
This made Wiggins fly over, and he had already exerted his athletic ability to the extreme, and he could not interfere with Durant’s shooting.
Wiggins, who failed to fly, got down from the air and turned his head to look at the basket behind him.
Then, swipe!
Three point hit!
Durant didn’t even celebrate, and turned back to the defense with a cold face and arrogance, leaving Wiggins with a messy head.
Wiggins is also considered a genius from childhood to adulthood, and is the number one genius in the United States.
But Durant’s shot really stunned Wiggins.
“Is this the strength of the top ten players in history?”
Wiggins widened his eyes and looked at the basketball that fell to the ground in disbelief. For a while, he was really unbalanced.
Seeing Durant’s goal, Wiggins realized how much talent he had wasted in his pursuit over the years.
After all, before college, Wiggins was definitely rated higher than Durant.
So even if Chen Xiao was comforting him, he didn’t realize it.
However, the visual impact of Durant’s ball is indeed very strong, and Chen Xiao can understand Wiggins’ current mood.
Look at the Bucks, Curry is excited and screaming at Durant who is retreating. When have you ever seen Curry so excited, so crazy.
It can only be said that Durant’s three-pointer directly pierced the big net woven by Chen Xiao in the third quarter, and the pressure on the Bucks disappeared in an instant.
Therefore, at the end of the third quarter, Ray Allen, who had a mental breakdown, was already screaming and jumping on the sidelines.
104 to 101!
The Bucks once again opened a safe point difference.
It was the Warriors’ turn to attack, and at this time, the pressure came to the Warriors again.
Chen Xiao scored 25 points in the third quarter, and in the third quarter, Chen Xiao was heavily guarded.
It’s just that Chen Xiao has been playing hard at the basket, so it’s not easy to double-team, inside and outside, Chen Xiao can pass the ball, and there are a bunch of three-pointers on the outside, so the Bucks’ defense was very hesitant in the third quarter.
But now it’s the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, Chen Xiao almost collapsed the Bucks by himself. In the fourth quarter, the Bucks couldn’t let Chen Xiao attack like the third quarter.
Therefore, in the Lakers’ offense, Chen Xiao singled Portis under the basket. Just after dribbling the ball, Durant from outside came directly to double-team.
Chen Xiao scored the ball to find Wiggins, who was completely vacant at this time.
In this game, Wiggins had an average feel. Facing this complete vacancy, Wiggins did not attack immediately, but took the ball and went straight to the inside.
To be fair, although the Bucks don’t have a big center, but with so many people getting together in the paint, even if Wiggins is talented, it’s not easy to kill or make fouls.
It should be said that Wiggins was directly interfered by Portis this time.
Although Portis’s strength was overwhelmed by Chen Xiao, his height and wingspan are still very good.
However, although Wiggins did not score the ball, it allowed Anthony to grab the offensive rebound.
Well, Anthony’s nose for offensive rebounds is really good…
However, as one of the players with the most shots at the basket in the NBA, Anthony grabbed an offensive rebound for a layup, which was also blocked by Antetokounmpo this time.
This is a little embarrassing.
Fortunately, the basketball that was blocked by Antetokounmpo was snatched by Chen Xiao again. After Chen Xiao got stuck on Durant, before Portis helped defend and turned around, he grabbed the rebound and didn’t go down to the ground. Dunk!
104 to 103!
With this offensive rebound, Chen Xiao scored his 67th point of the game!
After Durant’s crazy three-pointer, relying on Chen Xiao’s score, the Warriors are still biting the Bucks.
After seeing Chen Xiao’s successful dunk, Wiggins was really relieved.
To be honest, after being interfered by Portis, Wiggins felt that he should have shot the ball just now.
Fortunately, the team’s attack did not fail because of his hesitation.
Chen Xiao did not blame Wiggins for this breakthrough. When returning to defense, Chen Xiao also comforted Wiggins and told his teammates that they should not hesitate. The Bucks obviously made a desperate attempt in the fourth quarter. Defending him with a flanking attack is basically equivalent to giving up the treatment and fighting hard.
At this time, as long as the Warriors players put down the pressure, they will shoot when they have a chance. Their strength is definitely capable of making the Bucks pay the price.
The Warriors players actually understand this truth, but at this point in the game, not everyone can make the right choice.
If everyone can make the right choices, there will be no failures in this world.
Anyone who looks back on his life will defend himself for his wrong choice, but once he is born again, in the face of the opinion that gives you the correct teaching, you will definitely not always listen to it.
Therefore, as long as you are human, you need to be reminded all the time. This is also the meaning of NBA coaches and the meaning of NBA leaders.
And Chen Xiao is undoubtedly a very qualified and excellent leader.
So, after his reminder, the Warriors players immediately returned to normal in the fourth quarter.
As long as there is a chance, they will shoot. Although their hand is not so good in this game, they can definitely hit and score with such a large open opportunity.
On the other hand, on the Bucks side, the Big Three of the Bucks were already very tired, but in the fourth quarter, the players of the Warriors, the offense played so easily, Chen Xiao was creating opportunities, they just finished, so the Warriors of players are almost entirely focused on the defensive end.
Therefore, the Warriors’ defensive intensity still maintained the level of the third quarter.
This makes the Bucks’ offense not so good.
Although Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo and even Holiday have good offensive ability, as their physical strength declines, the opponent’s defense is strong. In this case, even if the Warriors team The players didn’t feel that good, and they couldn’t pull the score away.
The two teams have always been anxious.
From the first second of the fourth quarter to less than two minutes left at the end of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two teams has never exceeded 3 points.
Such anxiety made the Bucks coach Ray Allen on the sidelines hit the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. After the team called a timeout, he squatted directly on the sidelines.
For the sake of the game, Ray Allen doesn’t blame any of the players on the field, they really did their best.
In the fourth quarter, when he was forced by Chen Xiao to switch to such a defensive strategy, what he actually thought was that he must not be defeated in the fourth quarter.
There is really no way.
He had already expected that his fourth-quarter offense would not be very good. In this case, he could only bet that the Warriors’ players who had three quarters of poor feel in this game would never recover in the fourth quarter.
In the end, he won the bet.
Therefore, the team only has a chance to win in the last two minutes.
If it weren’t for the poor feel of the rest of the Warriors, the way the Bucks defended against Chen Xiao in the fourth quarter, as long as they hit a few three-pointers in a row, the Bucks would collapse directly.
So, for him, no matter what, he will accept the result.
The current Bucks really can’t beat the Warriors.
The Warriors have been using the Bucks as an imaginary enemy for the past five years.
It’s just that in the past, they have been kept out of the Finals by the Lakers.
If it wasn’t the Lakers but the Warriors that made it to the Finals in the past few years, the Bucks would never have won as many championships.
So go for it, guys, I’m praying for you guys!
On the court, the Bucks attacked, and I don’t know if it was because of Ray Allen’s prayers.
In the fourth quarter, Curry, who was 0 for 3 in front of the three-pointer, received a breakthrough point from Durant, and faced Klai’s defense and hit the three-pointer!
125 to 124!
The Bucks once again overtake the score!
To be fair, if it wasn’t for Durant’s tired legs, he would never have hit the ball to Curry. It wasn’t because of Curry’s poor performance in the fourth quarter. He scored 6 points in a quarter, the most for the Bucks outside of Durant.
Mainly, Claire’s defense against Curry from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter was too good!
Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, Curry’s three-pointer finally hit!
This made Durant, who broke through and fell directly to the ground, stood up and ran to Curry without waiting for his teammates to pull him up.
In the last two minutes of the game, any point is extremely important, not to mention such a big goal that surpasses the score.
So, after Curry hit, the Milwaukee fans on the scene were chanting Curry’s name frantically.
Suffice it to say, both teams have Milwaukee fan favorites.
For Milwaukee fans, both teams can be called home teams.
So, for the sake of this game, they are all appreciating the basketball itself.
The performances of Chen Xiao, Durant and Curry in the fourth quarter were outstanding!
Chen Xiao led the team forward alone.
On the Bucks side, it was Curry and Durant who carried the team forward with difficulty.
By the way, as for Antetokounmpo…
To be honest, although Antetokounmpo is powerful, at this critical moment when the bayonet is red, he can’t actually take the team’s offensive responsibility without the ability to shoot.
Historically, the Bucks have actually handed over more to Middleton or Holiday when it comes to crunch time.
The same is true for the current Bucks. At critical moments, Durant and Curry are more reliable. Especially in such a critical game, Antetokounmpo can only break a step and give Duran the ball right away. Or Curry.
Of course, such a breakthrough step can also help Durant and Curry, but obviously, it is not enough to become the third person to carry the team forward together with Curry and Durant.
Therefore, for the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV, this game is actually a duel between Chen Xiao and Durant Curry.
The contest between the all-time first and the all-time ninth, and a player of the top 15 in history.
After Curry and Durant connected.
With 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the game, Chen Xiao did not operate under the basket this time, but on the outside. After moving, he came out to receive Morant’s pass and shot from the three-point line!
A swipe!
Three point shot!
127 to 125!
The Warriors are over 2 points again!
The Milwaukee fans at the scene cheered Chen Xiao again!
“This is God’s 75th point in this game!”
This three-pointer, just like the three-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter of Durant, has the effect of killing people.
The players on the court thought it was crazy pressure and confrontation, and when his physical strength bottomed out, Chen Xiao could actually run without the ball all over the court, and then came out to shoot three-pointers.
Portis, who was chasing his defense, finally thought that his legs were weak and fell directly!
And this is what makes Ray Allen and the Bucks most desperate!
After Chen Xiao exhausted all the Bucks on the inside, he could also pull to the three-point line to harvest!
Yes, Chen Xiao has shown his divine sword, ready to harvest against the Bucks!
