Build a Dream Dynasty

In the first round of offense after the timeout, Curry and Porzingis completed the pick-and-roll cooperation. After attracting the defense, Curry assisted Porzingis in the inside singles and Sanders succeeded, narrowing the point difference for the team.

Looking back, at the defensive stage, Leonard began to entangle Antetokounmpo from the backcourt. Antetokounmpo hadn't noticed the danger yet, but he was almost later than Paul under Leonard's entanglement. Half time. . . . . .

"Wow, Leonard is watching Antetokounmpo closely all over the court. This defensive strength is determined to prevent Antetokounmpo from catching the ball easily." Yang Jian, who was in charge of commentating the game on CCTV, said in surprise when he saw this scene.

"Antetokounmpo's role on both offensive and defensive ends of the Bucks is very obvious. On the defensive end, he needs to constantly bypass the pick-and-roll to help defend and make up. On the offensive end, he is also the core of the Bucks' fast-break counterattack. It is a very bold idea to use more resources to trade with him. The Nets also have another core on the defensive end, Chasing Dream Green. He can organize a 4V4 line of defense. If Leonard If Germany and Antetokounmpo are isolated from the Bucks' offensive system at the same time, the Nets should be able to control it." Yang Yi suddenly saw Stevens' thoughts and secretly applauded.

The offensive end is entangled by Leonard, and the defensive end takes on such a heavy task, even if Antetokounmpo is a Super Saiyan, he can't stand it. But if Antetokounmpo lies flat on the offensive end, the Bucks' overall offense will be greatly affected. Stevens' move is an outright conspiracy, which is to use the Nets' much more resources than the Bucks to fight a war of attrition.

This is also the scary part of the Nets. In the history of the league, how many teams dare to let the team's second leader ignore the offense and directly trade with the opponent? But the Nets dare to do this. On the offensive end, they still have Curry as a human weapon, they also have Porzingis, and JR to help score, and on the defensive end, the Nets are not bad either.

This adjustment by Stevens immediately disrupted Kidd's deployment. The team took advantage of the situation and played a wave of 12:3 attacks, narrowing the point difference to 4 points, and Kidd had no choice but to call pause.

However, after returning from the timeout, the Bucks still seemed unable to dismantle the Nets' tactic. Kidd arranged a special pick-and-roll tactic for Antetokounmpo to get rid of Leonard, but the problem ensued, and the Bucks In the formation, there are not many people suitable for pick-and-roll. Larry Sanders, who is tall enough to provide high-quality pick-and-rolls, has slightly greater than zero shooting ability. After the pick-and-roll, Leonard can completely ignore him and attack Antetokounmpo. The body shape of other people is also doomed to be unsuitable for Antetokounmpo's wall, and it is not difficult for Leonard to go around the screen.

This is the disadvantage of the Spider-Man team.

If it is Carlisle, or Popovich, the old world, maybe they can find a way to solve it in a short time, but Kidd is still not enough as a coach.

There are pros and cons to having a star player as a head coach, especially soon after retiring. The advantage is that the prestige of the players themselves is sufficient, and they can unite the locker room in the shortest possible time, and improve the players by precepts and deeds, but the disadvantages are that there will be a lack of tactical knowledge and tactical arrangements. Daily training and pre-match preparations can also be supplemented by assistant coaches, but on-the-spot scheduling and tactical responses are completely unable to keep up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Paul increased the frequency of his personal offense, and his touch was not bad. In an unfavorable situation, he helped the team maintain a 1-point lead before the end of the third quarter.

However, after Stevens changed, Antetokounmpo made 0 of 4 shots in the second half of the quarter and scored no points. The situation of the game has been completely moved by the Nets.

I don't know if the decline of the starting players has affected the Bucks' bench players. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stevens' small lineup quickly overtook the score and gradually expanded the advantage. Too much reliance on the main players is an old problem of the Bucks, and Bayless failed to support the team's offense during this period of the game. Instead, Dinwiddie on the opposite side revitalized the small lineup that Stevens deliberately arranged. , Joe Harris, and Covington hit three-pointers one after another, and West also made a mid-range shot from the free throw line. The Nets used a 10:2 to overtake the point difference by 9 points, forcing Kidd to call a timeout again. He replaced Paul in advance to control the situation.

However, Stevens did not give him any chance. He also replaced the main force in advance. Stevens took Curry, Green, Porzingis, and Royce O'Neal and Joe Harris in one go. The offensive space is not inferior to that of the starting lineup, and it is completely aimed at beating the disabled Bucks in one breath.

And in fact they did. When the other main players of the Bucks returned to the court after a minute and a half, the point difference had been widened to 16 points, with 7 minutes left in the game Here, the Nets have gained a fairly safe advantage.

Leonard continued to entangle Antetokounmpo after his debut, even at the expense of his own offensive brilliance, he also let the fans on the scene, including the fans in front of the TV, appreciate another kind of defensive beauty on the basketball court. Swallowing Brother Antetokounmpo raw, fully exposed the shortcomings of the opponent's average foot strength, lack of shooting ability, and one-sided playing.

With three minutes left in the game and the point difference was still 20 points, Kidd had no choice but to replace Paul, basically announcing that the game's shots were conceded.

119:101, in the end, the Nets beat the Bucks by 18 points, moving the total score to 1:1.

Returning to Milwaukee with a total score of 1:1 seemed like a very respectable ending for the Bucks, but Kidd and his coaching staff were not happy at all for the simple reason that the Nets seemed Has found a way to deal with the Bucks, and Kidd and his team, it seems that there is no change in strategy.

Between the two teams, of course, the Nets are stronger. To put it bluntly, the predictions before the start of the series, there are many people who think that the Nets can sweep the Bucks 4:0, but the fact is that , The Bucks shocked everyone. They gave the Nets their first loss in the playoffs, making many fans believe that the Nets are not invincible.

In the Eastern Conference Finals matchup, the Nets and the Bucks were temporarily evenly divided, while in the West, the Clippers easily defended the two home games and headed to Salt Lake City with a score of 2:0. It seems that the situation excellent.

However, the home court of the Jazz in Salt Lake City has always been one of the most difficult arenas in the league. Even the Jazz this season has the third-ranked home winning percentage in the league. For the Clippers, It’s still too early to book a ticket for the Finals. As for the Nets, the Bucks’ home atmosphere is at a mid-range level in the league. Every time they play against the Bulls, they are often directly turned away by fans from Chicago, which is not good. Scared.

G3 is a key game for both sides. The Nets are eager to get back the home court advantage. In other words, if they don't get back the home court advantage, the team's psychology will be at a disadvantage all day long. The pressure on the Bucks team is also very high. After all, in the final stage of the last game, when Stevens came up with a strange trick to target Brother Antetokounmpo, the Bucks were beaten a bit badly and could not come up with a solution. .

During the two days of rest, Paul organized additional training for his teammates. The former No. 1 point guard had never played in the division finals, never been close to the finals, and the desire for victory was on his face.

But in many cases, it is not that the more you desire, the result will be as you wish. When the team is under a lot of pressure, there is no choice to decompress. What mature leaders should do. After the game started, the tension of all members of the Bucks was fully reflected on the court. Especially the second hero in the first two games, Middleton, who shot the Nets to climaxes, made 1 of 9 shots in the first quarter and only scored two points. The Nets didn't make any effort, and established an 18-point lead in the first quarter, leading by a big score of 35:17.

From the commentator to the fans, everyone is wondering what happened to the Bucks?

The handling of the players on both sides in the face of pressure has become the dividing line in this round of competition. The pressure on the Nets in the second game was not small at all, and they also encountered trouble at one point. But despite being at a disadvantage, the Nets panicked and did not panic at all, showing no signs of collapse. On the contrary, the Bucks are in a bad state at the moment, and they are in danger of being beaten by the Nets.

The commentators are all trying to help the Bucks find a way. After all, the game is too one-sided and it is really ugly. They are hard to do as commentators, but the words of the commentators can't reach Kidd's ears, let alone, these commentators Level, most of what you say is right but useless, anyone can find problems, and you can get a high salary if you can solve the problem, right?

In the second quarter of the game, the situation of the Bucks improved a little, but it was just a little better. Antetokounmpo, who made 1 of 6 shots in the first quarter, still did nothing on the offensive end under Leonard's exchange tactics. Middleton completely stopped this game, and the offensive end was completely unable to help Paul. Bayless has a good touch, and he is one of the few bright spots in the Bucks team, but that is why the Nets did not deliberately target him. After all, the Nets, who are in control of the situation, are still expanding. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference in points. Unless there is any major change in the halftime break, the Bucks will basically explain this game.

The score when returning to the locker room at halftime was 45:70, and the Nets extended their advantage to 25 points, which basically established the victory of the game.
