The Bucks made adjustments in this game, killing their opponents on a large scale 123-102, and felt proud. The most important thing is that they clearly told the world that we found a way to deal with the Green Army. Still remember the first game
How did the Green Army suppress the Bucks? The three insiders jointly defended, allowing Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was accustomed to smooth sailing in front of him, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is known as the most efficient second man this season, to directly shoot 33.3%.
rate. Also because his release point was blocked, the Bucks' shooter lineup became a decoration, and the entire team was directly suppressed.
In addition, the Green Army's touch in this game was quite good. The team's 54% shooting rate is also an extremely high shooting rate in basketball of this era.
Add the two together and losing becomes inevitable.
So how did the Bucks adjust in this G2 game? The Bucks made a very simple but effective adjustment. They moved the team's second scoring point, Khris Middleton, from the corner to the letter.
Go to the same side. Doesn't this change of tactics make the team's offensive range invisible? Yes, but there is no way. Now the Bucks need to break the game, otherwise they will definitely die. Antetokounmpo can solve it by himself.
Without this Celtics, the Celtics would no longer be the same cats and dogs as they were in the first two rounds. If they don’t make some changes, they will miss the finals. After working hard for a season, the Bucks finally ushered in the finals.
Fuxing will definitely not be willing to stop at the Eastern Conference Finals.
Therefore, this change of Mike Budenholzer is very timely and bold. Although Budenholzer is very young in the coaching world, but because of this, he sometimes makes bold moves. Middleton is also very ambitious.
In this game, he made 10 of 18 shots and scored 28 points with a shooting percentage of 55.6%. And note that he only had one free throw in the game. In other words... yes, most of his shots except for a few one-on-ones,
It's all a linkage between the same side and the letter, receiving the ball for a three-pointer. The Green Army made a mistake here. They thought the opponent was going to switch to the core point of attack, but they just got distracted and went out to intercept Middleton. Okay, letter.
They immediately shot and scored consecutively. This made the Green Army come back to intercept the letter, and the letter was passed out again. Middleton hit another three-pointer, and the Green Army had to go out again. As a result, both sides were unsteady in the end and neither of them defended.
Okay. Middleton’s 7 three-pointers and 70% three-point shooting percentage are also a weapon for the Bucks to break the game tonight. And if you look deeper and not just focus on the data, you will definitely find that
, Antetokounmpo was only 1 point higher than Middleton tonight, but his shooting percentage was about 10 percentage points lower, but the core of the Bucks' offense still lies with Antetokounmpo.
This is different from the way the 76ers lost to the Celtics. The 76ers also made adjustments, but they directly saw that the core could not open up, so they simply transferred the offensive dominance to the role players. In this way
, it seems to have some effect in the short term, and it can catch the opponent off guard, but when the opponent reacts, the effect will decline. Because of the key goals, in many places, the role players are simply insufficient in ability and cannot produce the destructive power of star players.
The 76ers completely let the two emperors act as bait, and the offense was directly transferred. In the end, the two emperors did not develop their touch. The whole game felt cold, and they lost and were eliminated. The Bucks learned this lesson. Although they transferred the offense, they could not
The dominance of the offense is still with Alphabet.
As long as the opponent relaxes a little bit, Antetokounmpo will immediately go in and kill everyone. Antetokounmpo's scores tonight were all consecutive, seven or eight points in one breath, which made the Green Army unable to relax at all. This swing,
As soon as he hesitated, he took advantage of the opportunity for his opponent, and Middleton exploded with a three-pointer, which directly killed the Green Army. Then the Green Army's touch also dropped this game, only 39%, plus Mike Budenhoe.
Ze used a surprise tactic, attracting letters from the right flank, and at the same time, there was a Middleton with excellent touch on the same side. The entire right side attracted most of the Green Army's defensive attention. Then, the Green Army felt a little bit
Something unexpected happened, that is... the opponent actually used a defender to be mainly responsible for rebounding!
Because the attention was not on him, and this man was only 196BA tall, he was a short man. Therefore, the Green Army did not put too much thought into him. As a result, he got the highest score of the two teams in the whole game.
11 rebounds. Almost all of them cut in from the left side and took the opportunity to get rebounds. Antetokounmpo did not have as many rebounds as him. Then on the defensive end, Antetokounmpo was suddenly pushed up to a higher position by Mike Budenholzer, and he scored earlier
The opponent's main scoring point, Kyrie Irving, was interfering and intimidating. Irving had to fight on his own again. He called a pick-and-roll and pulled out the defender on Antetokounmpo's side. All of a sudden, it was like giving up both offense and defense.
Pat Connaughton's opportunity. This is a very ordinary water cooler player. He is an older second-round pick. What he used tonight was Mike Budenholzer's ability. It was also something that the opponent did not expect.
In this game, Irving played in a mess. He made 4 of 18 shots, a 20% shooting rate, and only scored 9 points. The Bucks were extremely successful in cutting Irving's defense tonight, and with the addition of role-playing soldiers, they counterattacked and allowed the Greens to
Army Stevens knows how powerful he is.
And this further highlights the bad situation of the Lakers. The Bucks' various deployments and adjustments are all orderly and they have come up with solutions. But now the Lakers... can't do anything.
There's a good way to do it. This is where it hurts.
This is also a point where the morale of the Lakers is not high tonight.
You can see that everyone looks worried.
Because they knew in their hearts that the key problem had not been solved. They could not guard against the Warriors' offense, and the lifeblood of their sports battle was in the hands of their opponents. This was simply an unfair battle.
However, who told you that your free throws are not so accurate? Can you blame others?
At the pre-game press conference for this game, FOX Sports beauty reporter Abby Hornacek asked the Warriors a question. If Tang Qian lifted the "porcelain seal", would you be afraid? He has been hiding.
Playing basketball with a killer weapon.
This is indeed true. Tang Qian will only use it when he is facing Houston No. 13, except for the request or provocation of his opponent. He will treat the other person in his own way. Therefore, this move is also jokingly called "
"The Tyrant's Porcelain God Seal". It is said that once it is unlocked, it will be invincible. Originally, no one dared to provoke this. After all, the destructive power is too strong. It is not their business, but if you still take the initiative to beep
Beep, I'm sorry. The Warriors usually don't answer this question.
Only tonight, their big mouth Chai Danlin opened his mouth and answered:
What's the use of using it? Wouldn't it be the same as losing? Otherwise, he can give it a try.
Let’s see if the so-called seal is fully opened. Can it scare us?
After saying this, he laughed a few times, but he didn't take Tang Qian's move seriously at all. This was the first time in so many years that someone dared to say this publicly. And if you think about it, what Green said was
He said this at the team's press conference. If he didn't get the tacit approval of the team, do you think he would be so blind? Although Green has a big mouth, it does not mean that he is 250. The kind of person who knows what he does will still be punished.
He didn't want to do anything like slap him in the face. But if he dared to come forward tonight, he would have something to rely on.
Durant also said:
We welcome Tyrant Tang in any state. It will be more fun to defeat him who is so-called unsealed.
Cole also coquettishly said:
The most powerful tyrant Tang? We also want to meet him. We have met him in the regular season, and we are also looking forward to it in the playoffs.
King Bogut of Australia, who has had a feud with his countrymen since ancient times, also said:
Unlocking the seal? Do you think you are reading a hero comic? What, can you still score 100 points after undoing the seal? This is the playoffs, not the regular season. He cannot solve the problem alone. This year's Warriors insider is the best
Strong!
Sure enough, they had the absolute upper hand and dared to say anything. The Lakers had poor morale and couldn't find a good solution, so they didn't have the confidence to give a tough answer. This was really the first time for this group of Lakers players.
Or because the strongest person on the team was targeted.
Let me be honest here. If the Lakers lose this year, and Tang Qian loses so inexplicably and aggrieved, then it is certain that the Lakers will probably have their own evil intentions soon. Don’t look at it for no reason.
The atmosphere of the team is good now, but, how should I put it, it is all based on the invincible team and the invincible boss. With this foundation, naturally there will be no thoughts and no more children, but
If not, even if this is an unsolvable situation...
There is no solution for the past, present, or future. Let's see if the team's morale will collapse.
If Pippen hadn't met Jordan, he wouldn't have been convinced by anyone. He and Jordan worked closely together, which is why he knew that he had no chance to win this man. Isn't it the same with the Lakers now? Don't say this.
People are so respectful and polite to Tang Qian, not because Tang Qian is invincible in the league, at least for this reason. Competitive sports are the most fair, strong is strong or weak, and there is no subjective feeling to talk about. But it is also the most unfair.
of.
That is, once your dominance declines, other people's thoughts will sprout again. After all, few people who can play in the NBA are not the stars of the teams in the lower leagues and the top brother of the team. So when you come here, bow your head and admit defeat, then
It's not because they want to, it's just because their skills are inferior to others, so they can only bow their heads for the time being. If you do a few random things and your abilities can't keep up, the league will immediately put you on the "blacklist". Such an idiot, what ball?
The team won't like it.
There are only 30 teams in the NBA at full capacity. If everyone wants to be a star, then 300 teams are not enough. There will always be someone to play a supporting role. Who will do it? Those with poor ability will do it. It is such a reality. The cruelest thing about competitive sports
The place does not talk about status in the world. If you are no longer awesome, just get out and replace yourself with someone else. Tang Qian can hold the place, so that's great. Everyone will follow you and have no extra thoughts. You can't do it anymore... Larry
.Brown has been able to predict something in advance off the court.
It’s not that these people think Tang Qian, the boss, is fake. Normally, it’s just flattery. It’s just that if the Lions are no longer good, someone will have to find another way to make a living for themselves. Otherwise, what will happen in the future? Don’t forget that the NBA is both a competition and a competition.
The alliance is also a business alliance. You can't screw everyone together, so don't blame others for being petty.
They are all professional players. They cannot compete purely for honor like the college league.
You can have the best of both worlds, but no fool would do that.
George used an analogy, if this team has no future, will he stay? What do you think? He only temporarily signed a mid-level player like Cousins for the sake of the championship. Although he also has a bigger top salary for the next step.
Salary and contract considerations, but for now, he is indeed in the middle class. Why is he doing this if not for the championship? Westbrook still has a contract and cannot leave for the time being. What about Butler? If the boss here loses his dominance, will he still be there?
Are you willing to be the second child? In his heart, he is the same as Pippen. He wants to be the boss, but the boss around him is too strong, so he has no choice.
If it can't be suppressed, big problems will arise.
Is it so difficult to win 4 consecutive championships? Larry Brown is also at a loss now. After all, he does not know magic and cannot let No. 29 quickly break through the free throw card. In fact, the center who can maintain invincibility in free throws for a long time is No. 29
Compatriot Yao Ming is the strongest among them, and Larry Brown knows that he has already called Yao Ming. It seems that there is no good way.
The more you want to prove yourself and there is no guarantee of strength in this aspect, the easier it will be for problems to arise.
Tang Qian didn't play well in the first quarter. He was too worried about his opponent coming to attack him. This kind of mentality made it difficult for him to concentrate fully. Cole also laughed. This is the fifth aspect of his "one shield can defeat all methods"
Effectiveness, psychological pressure, and focusing too much on one aspect will lead to poor performance on the entire court. But some people don't want to lose. Westbrook's game suddenly broke out, with all kinds of hard kills and zombie jump shots hitting.
Westbrook is like this. He can always play several games in a series and won't always be suppressed.
After all, the ability is there. How can you make a quasi-super giant in the original time and space without some hard ability?
In fact, the key is that his shooting is open, so Curry's defense must go a little further, and this step is enough for Westbrook to break through more quickly. The more accurate it is, the harder it is for Curry to defend. But this kind of ball is not something Cole can handle.
Don’t worry, because first of all, this is not the routine operation of Lakers No. 0. If it works in one game, it will be powered off in the next game. Don’t worry about unstable things. Besides...
Cole looked at the field and continued to smile with confusion:
Do you think all the players on our side are vegetarians? Only you can explode? Only you can stand up?
What this means is...
"Stephen Curry!!!!!!!!!"
Did you see what was being shouted at Oracle Arena? Curry’s state in this series is so good that if this world were a digital game world, then Curry would be the “King of the Western Conference Finals” now.
buff. Why? Because after Kobe, his data is the strongest in the Western Conference Finals. Playing in the Western Conference Finals is easy to explode, especially this year. Curry has waited too long. He is covered in flames, even Westbrook.
It doesn't matter if you hit him with a burst, just hit him back!
Even Westbrook was a little shocked to find that he was not as capable as the Warriors' No. 30 on the offensive end!
Curry averaged 36+ points per game in this round of the series. In addition, the new generation of Western Conference Finals king is not a boast. Westbrook suddenly fell into a disadvantage in terms of offense! But the Lakers still gave Tang Qian face.
Yes, I don’t want my boss to be out of the game like this. No, George has also stepped up. He is in the "General George" state, with all kinds of strong shots, which seems to help the Lakers gain momentum.
But no one wanted to attack Tang Qian, so Durant stepped forward and beat him back.
Are you strong? Yes, but that's it, because in the playoffs, I am stronger, more top-notch, and more perverted.
This year's Durant is also abnormal. He is much better than last year's state, and this is still very rare. He and Curry are both in excellent form during the playoffs, so what if George breaks out?
I can just suppress it and go back alone.
Nothing to be surprised about.
Seeing this, Lakers fans' hearts froze. Westbrook and George both tried to stand up, but were still suppressed by their opponents at one point. In Tang Qian's case, the offensive end was unable to open at the free throw line. First
Trailing by 6 points in the quarter, at the end of the second quarter, we trailed our opponents by a full 17 points. Our opponents seemed to be preparing to play 3-0 tonight to completely determine the outcome of the game and leave the series without any suspense. So,
Cole's use of the main force tonight was considered unrestrained. No. 29 was not given a chance to catch his breath during substitute time.
If you play with full pressure, your point explosive power will not be as good as the opponent's. The key player is still holding a fatal magic weapon to cover the goal. The Lakers played this game in a very frustrating way. They were pressed along the way and did not overtake at all. Not once.
No.
In the locker room, the atmosphere of the Lakers was unprecedentedly solemn. From the coach to the players, they remained silent for several minutes after entering.
How to break the game? The game lies with No. 29. Usually he is the one to break it. Now he has broken the game by himself. It is still an almost unsolvable situation. How can I say this? There is nothing to say. Who is to blame? No. 29 is the ball.
The team won three consecutive championships, how can you blame him? And in the last game, he tried his best to make free throws stably, but it was still not enough. The intensity of the punishment was not enough to make the opponent stop.
There are no more unnecessary words, because they are all in vain. The lineup on paper was originally not as good as others, and now it is blocked by others, and the words are pale. The Lakers are back on the field, and you can see from the faces of the players.
It can be seen that they still haven't thought of any good methods or countermeasures.
Are you...really going to lose?
The dream of three consecutive championships has come to an end?
Is the dynasty about to collapse?
Lakers fans suddenly felt fearful, unwilling and even angry.
