The Strongest Bishop in the NBA - Chapter 477

After some greetings, the game officially began.

In the jump ball stage, Hao Peng almost easily beat Jokic. After halftime, the Lakers point guard immediately dropped the ball to Hao Peng who was inside.

The Bucks are so strong that the Lakers coach racked his brains and couldn’t think of a good way to fight against it. In the end, he had no choice but to use the only killer move-Hao Peng.

No way, the Lakers have an absolute advantage in the five positions on the court, and only Hao Peng, who is a center, has an absolute advantage, including the other player in the Lakers Gemini, Jimmy Butler, who also lost Durant in the small forward matchup. .

If you want to win, or be more realistic, what you want to lose is not so ugly, you can only rely on Hao Peng.

After receiving the ball from the bottom line, Hao Peng drove twice with his back, then turned to shake Jokic’s center of gravity, and then easily scored with a low layup.

At this stage, Hao Peng has an absolute dominant position in the inside of the entire NBA. Not to mention that Jokic is far from reaching the future super center that can compete for the regular season MVP, even if Jokic reaches the peak of his own level. It is definitely not Hao Peng’s opponent.

On the other hand, Wang Xiao naturally knew how difficult it was for Hao Peng who used the David Robinson Growth Template Card to be entangled inside.

Durant, Antetokounmpo, and Thompson formed an outside troika full of firepower to attack the Lakers outside. The outside level was already below the league average and the Lakers couldn’t stand it. They were forced to unilaterally explode.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams fought to 29:22. The Bucks led by 7 points at home. Durant scored 11 points, Antetokounmpo and Thompson scored 5 points each.

On the Lakers side, of the 22 points in a single quarter, 17 of them were scored by Hao Peng in the paint.

Not only that, Hao Peng’s offense brought tremendous pressure to Jokic, and he accumulated two fouls in the first quarter and ended early.

However, even so, the Lakers were still absolutely passive in the game, especially when Hao Peng took a rest in the second quarter, the situation became more one-sided.

In the second quarter, the two sides scored 31:24 and halftime 60:46. The point difference has been widened to more than double digits. Even if Hao Peng regained his glory in the third quarter and scored 14 points again in a single quarter, the point difference is still inevitable. Continue to be enlarged.

About five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers had fallen behind by more than 25 points. The head coach had no choice but to replace Hao Peng Butler and others and gave up the game early.

In the end, the result of the first game of the Finals was the Bucks 121:98, a 23-point victory over the Lakers.

Although this is a result that many people have already expected, many people still sigh when the cruel reality is before them.

As the head of the Lakers, Hao Peng has done his best in this game.

17 points in the first quarter, 8 points in the second quarter, 14 points in the third quarter, 4 points in the fourth quarter, the audience scored 43 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks. The three data of points, rebounds and blocks are ranked second. First of the team.

This kind of performance seems to once again confirm that Hao Peng is already the league’s first center.

But basketball is not a one-person game after all.

For the Bucks, Durant scored 31 points and Thompson scored 24 points among the three outsiders. Antetokounmpo, because of his poor shooting ability, broke into the basket and was restrained by Hao Peng’s defense under the basket. Decline, but still scored 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

Just three outside players have contributed 71 points for the Bucks!

On the outside of the Lakers, only Butler scored in double figures, and Butler scored only 15 points on 4 of 13 shots.

The huge gap in the lineup of auzw.com made the game between the two teams invisible.

The fact is also true.

In the second round of the Finals, the Lakers lost again, 108:89, still failing to survive to the last minute and surrendered.

Hao Peng scored 36 points, 16 rebounds and 9 blocks in a quasi-triple-double data, but was sent off with 6 fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In this game, Antetokounmpo and other outside players changed their style of play and started to attack the basket. At the beginning, Hao Peng was given a hot pot education, but there is no reason to walk by the river without getting wet shoes? With the cap covered, the number of fouls went up unknowingly.

Hao Peng’s blocking data was almost in double figures, but he was sent off early because of this. Without Hao Peng to guard the basket, the Lakers would lose even faster and worse.

With a total score of 2:0, the Lakers have already stepped half of their foot on the edge of the cliff.

After the game, the Lakers coach said bluntly that if the next game back to the home court continues to lose, then the Lakers’ road to the Finals has basically come to an end.

That’s how it is said, but whether it is the Lakers head coach or the Lakers’ fans, they actually know that the Lakers’ road to the Finals has already come to an end when they know that their opponent is the Bucks.

Most Lakers fans are still very happy and satisfied with the Lakers’ performance. After all, when the league was at the bottom of the league last season, who would have imagined that the Lakers would pass through the new season and reach the Finals?

The abilities and potential demonstrated by Hao Peng made them excited. Butler also proved that he is a qualified second-in-chief. What the Lakers need to do next is to continue to improve the team lineup and strive to attract a superstar in the summer. Join to form the standard configuration of the Big Three, and then continue to challenge the Bucks.

The Bucks are strong now, but they can’t last long.

The reason is simple, salary cap.

This summer, Antetokounmpo will inevitably renew the maximum salary with the Bucks. As a result, the Bucks will have three top-paid players, Durant, Thompson, and Antetokounmpo.

The team’s cap space will be filled by these three players in an instant.

And next year, Embiid and Jokic’s rookie contract will also expire. With the current performance of the two, it is bound to have a maximum salary to stay.

In other words, even if the time comes to plan carefully, or even pay the luxury tax, the Bucks can only keep one of the two.

Although Durant, Antetokounmpo, Thompson and Jokic or Embiid are also a super combination that is extremely rare in history, but in general it is much better than the current situation.

As a traditional giant in the league, the Lakers have the capital and the ability to build a luxurious lineup around Hao Peng in the past few years.

The Lakers in this calculation overlooked a problem, or that this problem was selectively ignored.

Bucks head coach Wang Xiao.

Whether it is the Wizards a few years ago or the Bucks now, they were actually selected and cultivated by Wang Xiao himself.

Now that he has cultivated more than a dozen All-Stars, who can guarantee that he will not be able to pick all-star players?

No one in the Lakers management wants to think about this question, because once they really think about it, this game is really too difficult to play!
