The Strongest Bishop in the NBA - Chapter 478
The third game of the finals between the Bucks and the Lakers took place on June 7th, local time at the Los Angeles Lakers’ home stadium at Staples Arena.
This is a much-anticipated battle. The Lakers, who have fallen behind 0:2, are half-footed on the edge of the cliff. Once they lose the game at home, the total score of the two teams will return to 3:0. !
In the entire history of the NBA, there has never been a 3:0 situation that was reversed.
Although knowing that with the Lakers’ current strength on paper, it is difficult to beat the powerful Bucks, the fans in Los Angeles still have a bit of hope. After all, what if they win?
However, reality still gave them a cruel blow.
At home in Los Angeles, the Lakers couldn’t stand it in the first quarter and collapsed across the board.
The reason is simple, Durant broke out!
Facing the upcoming second championship of his career, he seemed a little impatient.
In the first quarter, Durant’s offensive desire was extremely strong. He made 7 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points in a single quarter!
Driven by Durant, the Bucks played an extremely efficient offense in the first quarter. The team scored 37 points. The Lakers were obviously a bit slower. The first quarter scored only 25 points. The two teams scored in the first quarter. Opened the gap of 12 points!
By the second quarter of the game, the situation did not get any better, 35:27, the point difference further widened to 20 points!
Hao Peng tried his best to help the team equalize and score frequently on the inside, but at this time, the shortcomings of the traditional center in the small ball era have been revealed.
In the absence of a strong three-pointer, the Lakers’ outside scoring efficiency is too low, even if Hao Peng scores inside, there is no way to catch up with the difference.
After the game progressed to the third quarter, the suspense has been lost, the main lineup successively ended, and the Lakers could not beat the Bucks in the competition of the bench lineup.
The Lakers fans were disappointed by the result, but not many left early.
This season’s Lakers have given their fans a great surprise. Before the regular season, any Lakers fan could not imagine that their team would be able to make the finals all the way to the finals.
Although there is a huge power gap with the Bucks, the Lakers fans are already very satisfied.
At 114:98, the Bucks made another victory in the Lakers’ home court. The total score came to 3:0. The finals have completely lost suspense.
After the game, some media commented on the game.
“A rolling game without suspense.”
“The strength of the Bucks is already above the entire league, and their dynasty is coming soon!”
“Although the Lakers’ defeat is glorious, Hao Peng’s legendary road has just begun. He will become the league’s first center in the future. No, he may already be the best and strongest center in the league today!”
Durant scored a game-high 43 points in this game, and Hao Peng scored 38 points, second only to Durant in scoring. His dominance in the interior is Embiid and Jokic tied together. It is also incomparable, and it is hard to imagine how terrifying he will grow after several years of training in the alliance.
On June 9, Game 4 of the Finals was still the Lakers’ home court.
Before the start of this game, the nba officials had prepared the O’Brien Cup in advance, ready for the Bucks to win the Cup at home with the Lakers.

In this game, I thought that the Lakers would collapse across the board, but I never thought that the Bucks would be stubbornly resisted by the Lakers. With Hao Peng as the core, the Lakers desperately slowed the pace of the game and fell into position. in.
The Bucks players are generally too young. When facing the upcoming championship, they still inevitably fall into impatience. The offense is a bit too sloppy and direct. The Lakers have seized the opportunity to fight back many times.
It’s also because the Bucks lineup is too luxurious, and the stars alone can still score. Although the Bucks are lagging behind, the point difference has not been widened.
At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, Durant stood up again.
As a historical-level superstar, Durant’s ability to attack at a critical moment is absolutely trustworthy.
In another time and space, for two consecutive years in 17 and 18, Durant scored at key moments to help the team establish a victory, and therefore received the nickname of death.
Although it is only 16 years, Durant’s strength has already reached its peak.
An unpretentious three-pointer, a mid-range back jumper, and a breakthrough to the basket that resulted in two free throws.
After three consecutive offenses were completed, Durant scored 7 points on his own. In the blink of an eye, the difference was wiped out or even overtaken. The sudden outbreak hit the Lakers off guard and even called a timeout.
When they realized that the situation was wrong and called a timeout, the point difference had been reversed.
This time around, the Bucks never gave the Lakers any chance.
In terms of scoring ability, the Lakers can’t catch up with the Bucks even if they shoot a horse.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score of the two teams was fixed at 113:111.
The gap of 2 points, this is the smallest difference between the two teams in four games, but if you look at the big score, the score of 4:0 looks unusually dazzling.
The Bucks won the O’Brien Cup for the second consecutive year.
Since it was at Staples Arena, the atmosphere after the Bucks won the championship was not very warm. Many fans have left the field early. Only some Bucks fans and some neutral fans cheered the Bucks. And applause.
Durant finished four games, averaging 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 55.6% from the field, and successfully won the fmvp.
The second fmvp trophy in his career made Durant look very excited. He thanked his family, the fans and the team, and especially the head coach Wang Xiao.
“This is the second year I thank the head coach, but even so I still want to say it again, if there is no coach Wang Xiao, there would be no me today, thank you for everything!”
When the microphone reached Wang Xiao, he didn’t say much.
Winning the championship is already commonplace for him. This is already his fifth championship trophy after joining the NBA. He just said a very simple sentence that made many teams feel uncomfortable. . “We will continue to win!”
Yes! They will continue to win! With this horrifying Bucks team and Wang Xiao as the head coach, which team in the league can rival them?
“The Bucks coach’s championship declaration: We will continue to win!”
“The Bucks’ dynasty road has been opened! Who can stop them in the league?”
“Wang Xiao! The most successful head coach of the 21st century! Can he become the best coach in league history?”
