Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 696
“Super Heavy Artillery (
The Bucks’ offense is naturally centered on Antetokounmpo. After Bledsoe passed the ball to Middleton, he took Westbrook to the left corner and opened up the interior space. Middleton was very cautious in receiving the ball and facing An Luo. The opponent was stuck on his side leading to the penalty area, not only not releasing three points, but also being able to cause enough interference in the breakthrough. Middleton took the left foot as the axis, turned left and moved right and tried several times, and finally chose to hand the ball to Antetokounmpo.
Donovan’s mission to Robertson was not to completely limit Antetokounmpo’s offense. After all, it is very unrealistic for players at the opposing level. Donovan only needs Robertson to block Antetokounmpo from the three-point line and let him shoot a three-pointer. Everyone knows the level of Antetokounmpo’s long-range shooting ability. Although in the past few games, this guy seems to have developed a fairly qualified three-pointer ability, but compared with his unreasonable breakthrough, it is still a comparison to let him shoot from the three-point line. Reasonable choice.
Antetokounmpo saw that Robertson had let him take a big step, and he did not hesitate to get up and throw the ball. The posture of the shot, hurriedly and neatly, was done in one go, not at all like the Antetokounmpo who was only rampant in the previous two seasons.
Roberson still rushed forward in time, but it didn’t help. He is at a disadvantage in his height and wingspan, and his jump is a bit slower. It is good not to be fouled by the opponent.
“Huh!”
The goal is scored!
The moment the basketball hit the net, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was silent. Although it was only a moment, it was enough to prove the shock that Antetokounmpo brought to everyone. This is the first time that Oklahomaians have seen such a “Brother Alphabet”. Before that, everyone had the impression that this guy would not shoot three-pointers.
In fact, in addition to the fans who are always watching the Bucks know the changes made by Antetokounmpo, other fans have really not paid much attention to this issue. But it’s different now. Judging from the rhythm and posture of Antetokounmpo’s shooting, he must have practiced hard three-pointers in the past summer.
If this guy is not a flash of light, it would be terrible. You can beat all stars and become the MVP of the regular season when you don’t have long-range shooting ability. Now that Antetokounmpo, who has made up for the only shortcoming, can really replace LeBron James, the “League First Man”. Up.
Soon, Antetokounmpo proved with facts that he was not a ballot.
When Westbrook used his own speed to throw off the big Lopez pull rod to make a layup, Bledsoe, who received the serve, threw the ball to Antetokounmpo. Thanks to him, it would be difficult for anyone to catch Bledsoe’s very casual pass this time. After receiving the basketball, Antetokounmpo did not rush to the penalty area. He slapped the ball on the floor and then pulled it up again to complete the shot outside the three-point line.
The basketball spins and plunges into the net. That feeling is like a meteorite falling into the sea, and a huge wave is set off in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Donovan called a timeout directly. It can be seen that Antetokounmpo is really capable of three-pointers, and the level is not low. In this way, the defensive strategies he had arranged before would not work. If it is not adjusted in time, the consequences may be serious.
After scoring two three-pointers, Antetokounmpo was also very excited. Since this season, he has fully enjoyed the fun of three-pointers. This is not just a matter of adding a means of scoring. After developing the three-point ability, he basically has no obvious shortcomings, and will no longer be targeted by the opponent. During the game, Antetokounmpo’s deterrence spread throughout the half. For the teams that the Bucks played against, Antetokounmpo’s defense became a huge pressure.
In fact, the Eastern Conference teams are already nervous. They will play more games against the Bucks, especially those teams that are aspiring to the finals. The Bucks led by such Antetokounmpo are really an insurmountable mountain for them.
After the timeout is over, the game restarts.
In the next game, Roberson was given more expectations by Donovan. In order to give the Bucks and Antetokounmpo more defensive pressure inside, Donovan also replaced Gallinari with Grant. In this way, the Thunder built a defense system from the outside to the inside. Under such a system, Antetokounmpo will fall into the circle of Robertson, Grant and Adams as soon as he enters the three-point line.
This change has played a very good role~www.mtlnovel.com~ Antetokounmpo is restricted by the Thunder, unable to shoot from outside the three-point line, and can only rush in. However, no matter how many heroes can fight, they can’t stand the crowd. The thunder attacked layer by layer, which directly caused Antetokounmpo into the vast ocean of people. Although he was still able to score, he scored the ball every time after a hand-to-hand fight.
After several rounds, Budenholzer also called a timeout. During this period of time, although the team’s offensive and defensive ends did not have most of the problems for the time being, Antetokounmpo’s consumption is very large, and there will definitely be problems in the subsequent games.
Budenholzer did not make much adjustments. They still use Antetokounmpo as the axis, but the offensive end point spread beyond the three-point line. The configuration of the Bucks is built with this tactical system. In the previous few seasons, their offensive tactics were Antetokounmpo’s offensive with the ball, rushing to score when there is a chance, and attracting enough defensive strength without a chance. And several shooters, including center Lopez, either screened each other’s running positions, or stood directly outside, waiting to catch the ball and shoot.
In addition to the development of the three-point ability, Antetokounmpo’s already fairly good passing ability has also been improved. Under his leadership, the Bucks began to use their muskets, and they quickly took the lead.
I have to say that this guy has really been improving all these years. And in the past few seasons, his changes have always been intuitively felt.
There is no shortage of talented players in this league. Some people just like God, like O’Neal, who can reach the height that most players can only look up to by their talent alone. But there is a saying that goes like this: Don’t be afraid of others with higher talents than you, but fear that those with higher talents will work harder than you. It now appears that Antetokounmpo is undoubtedly such a player.
