Reverse Growth Superstar - 1345
Antetokounmpo looked at Link in front of him, feeling very weak.
Although the size is more than twice as large as Link, basketball is not a game of size.
Back then, Jason Kidd could defend against James. Now, Link also made Antetokounmpo suffer.
And he knew that his trouble wasn’t just Link. As soon as you rush in, there will be a bunch of people coming to double-team yourself.
But Antetokounmpo had no choice, even if he knew the result, he could only do that.
No way, who prevents him from doing jump shots outside the three-point line?
In the voice of the Grizzlies fans yelling “defense”, Antetokounmpo held the ball close to Link, and then directly accelerated the “floor oil”!
Antetokounmpo’s breakthroughs have always been a straight line, basically without turning, and he rarely uses technical movements such as changing directions.
Against most opponents, Antetokounmpo’s straight breakthrough is indeed sufficient.
But for Link, Antetokounmpo has just taken a step and was firmly resisted!
In the Eastern Conference finals last season, Leonard had tortured Antetokounmpo badly enough.
In this year’s finals, Link’s defense is only stronger than Leonard.
But relying on his physical advantage and talent, Antetokounmpo still forced Link into the penalty area.
Although he didn’t rush for it, Antetokounmpo can score as long as he gets to the basket.
But as soon as Antetokounmpo came in, he found that both Jemichael Green and Jokic had doubled up.
Just as he imagined, as long as a breakthrough, the Grizzlies will double-team!
There was no way, Antetokounmpo had to pass the ball to Brook Lopez.
As one of the first traditional centers in the league to transition beyond the three-point line, Brook Lopez shot 36.5% from the three-point range in the regular season last season.
But this season, Lopez’s three-pointer encountered Waterloo, shooting only 29.6%.
In the playoffs, the hit rate was only 28.4%!
This season, Lopez’s three-point shooting rate is extremely unstable. He stood outside the three-point line, and to be honest, it was more deterrent and tactical.
If you really let him vote, he may not be able to make it.
Lopez hesitated when he received the basketball. This is an obvious lack of confidence.
But seeing Jokic hurried back, Lopez finally chose to shoot.
On the sidelines, Budenhauser stared at the basketball, begging silently in his heart.
If this goal is not scored, the Bucks will…
“Hey!”
The basket made a crisp sound, and Lopez’s three-point shot hit the side of the basket and knocked out!
“Still didn’t make it, Brook Lopez missed all 5 shots from beyond the three-point line today! If the Bucks can’t make a three-pointer, they will never win! If this continues, the total score will become 2 to 0!”
That’s right, 2 to 0.
Today, the NBA Finals matchup has entered the second game. At this point, with 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Bucks trailed by 12 points.
If Lopez had just made a long shot, they would have had the opportunity to narrow the difference to single digits.
But the Bucks’ problem is precisely on the three points.
In G1 of the finals, the Grizzlies easily won the game by shrinking the defense.
The Grizzlies, as Bill Simmons said, borrowed from the Raptors’ approach to the Bucks last season.
They targeted Antetokounmpo on defense and prevented the Greeks from attacking the inside. When Antetokounmpo took the ball and started to attack the frame, the defenders on the left and right sides would be in place immediately. Antetokounmpo was either taken out of the ball or unable to score the basket.
Foul? “Brother Antetokounmpo”‘s 60% free throw percentage is really not lethal at all.
Of course, Antetokounmpo can choose to distribute the ball to teammates outside the three-point line and let the outside shoot three-pointers. One star, this is what James left after playing, the Bucks are actually this way.
Antetokounmpo did pass it, and others also voted. It’s just like Lopez’s goal just now.
The outside configuration of the Bucks seems very luxurious, but the second and third leaders are obviously shortcomings. None of them have absolute stable long-range shooting ability, especially the stable shooting ability under high pressure defense at the finals level.
Middleton, Hill, and Bledsoe are not super shooters, it is difficult to kill people by three points.
Korver? Korver is almost 40 years old after all, and his three-point efficiency this season is not as good as his peak.
Of course, the Bucks are not unable to make three-pointers, but it is difficult to consistently output outside the three-point line. Once the Bucks’ hand feel has declined, the Grizzlies will immediately be able to play a wave of small climax to open the score.
The Bucks’ tactics have high requirements for attacking players, as well as high requirements for outside shooters. But the current situation is that Antetokounmpo is holding the ball and attacking the frame, and the Grizzlies are defensively on the inside, making it difficult for him to score successfully.
Antetokounmpo divides the ball to the outside, often a teammate who is not very efficient in three-pointers. If someone else is holding the ball and attacking the frame, Antetokounmpo will be the one who was released to shoot a three-pointer. Both of these points hit the Bucks’ pain point.
In the first game, the Grizzlies accurately captured the Bucks’ shortcomings.
In the finals, now that the shortcomings were found, the rest was beaten!
In the regular season, no one may have done such a defensive defense. But in the finals, no one would be merciful.
So in the first game, the Grizzlies won easily. But today, the Bucks are about to kneel.
As Mike Brin spoke, Link had already grabbed the defensive rebound himself.
Lopez missed a three-pointer, which is a good opportunity for the Grizzlies to open the score.
After getting the rebound, Link immediately dribbled the ball and started to counterattack.
Antetokounmpo lunged forward with his teeth and claws, but Link was not the one who only walked straight.
Seeing Link turned around very flexibly, he passed by Antetokounmpo.
After leaving Antetokounmpo, Link was basically unimpeded. Because in terms of speed, no one on the Bucks can catch up.
In this way, Link grabbed the rebound and rushed across the court, resulting in an iconic dunk.
The basket seemed to be torn apart by Link, and Link’s smashing buckle with both hands behind his head made all the fans in the Federal Express Arena stand up and shout frantically.
With 14 points, the Grizzlies successfully expanded the points difference! If Lopez hit a three-pointer just now, the situation is very different now.
Inside and out, this is a 5 point gap.
The total score of 2 to 0 seems to be getting closer.
Budenhorse called a timeout, he had to slow down.
This guy knows what it means to return to Milwaukee with a 0-2 situation.
They worked hard for a season and made a **** road in the East, but they can’t just be swept out by the Grizzlies!
The chance to play in the finals is very rare, and it should not be wasted easily!
But there is no way, the situation is just like this. The Bucks are now being pinched by the Grizzlies, Budenhorse has the ability to reach the sky, and it is impossible to immediately change a set of tactical systems.
So the Bucks did not change in the last two minutes of the game.
At the critical moment, Antetokounmpo was also forced to shoot a few three-pointers. Unfortunately, one can’t make it.
Bill Simmons said that Antetokounmpo’s scoring ability at critical moments could not see Link’s taillights. This is a complete hammer.
116 to 102, the Grizzlies won the second game by 14 points at home.
The series total score is now 2 to 0, and the Grizzlies won both games very easily. Link said that he only wanted to play four more games, not just casually.
Now, Adam Joke only feels pain in his face.
What a **** war between the ages, this is Link’s war of teaching and behaving at all!
In this round of the finals, there was no greater effect than expected. The Grizzlies beat the Bucks, even easier than before playing the Clippers!
After the game ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Antetokounmpo was very disappointed. He thought he had enough ability to challenge the alliance overlord, but he didn’t expect that the strength gap was so big.
Is it true that the Grizzlies can’t even win a game?
The Bucks have been beaten to autism, but on the other side, Link, who won the game, is not complacent.
Although the Grizzlies scored a 2-0 lead, but the next game returns to Milwaukee, the Bucks players have a great chance of feeling explosive.
If the Bucks outside players’ three-pointers suddenly get on, the game will be difficult to play.
The hardest part of this series has not yet begun. Now, it’s not time to be happy.
Therefore, when facing the reporters’ camera, Link only said one sentence: “Before you win, you have to be careful.”
The seventh O’Brien Cup in his career is just around the corner, and Link doesn’t want anything wrong.
