I’m Really Playing Basketball

This Warriors team is the strongest opponent Chen Xiao has ever encountered in the history of his career in the finals. Chen Xiao's judgment is extremely correct.

In Chen Xiao's career, including this time, he has reached the finals eight times.

The first time they met was the Lakers led by the OK combination. In the end, Chen Xiao and the Nets swept their opponents 4-0.

Chen Xiao's second Finals was with the Cavaliers. In 2005, he met the Suns led by O'Neal.

After that, the opponents in the finals were the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant, and after that, the opponents were Luo Ge's Spurs and Kobe's Lakers, taking turns.

Let's put it this way, although Chen Xiao has entered the finals many times, his opponents in the finals are relatively not that strong.

Even the OK Lakers, who were known as the strongest at the time, were actually very divided within the team.

Luo Ge's Spurs were never at their peak when they met Chen Xiao in the finals.

Before meeting this year's Bucks, Chen Xiao's strongest opponent in the finals was undoubtedly last year's Cavaliers.

Although the Cavaliers were swept by Chen Xiao 4-1, the Cavaliers have been vaguely suppressing the Warriors since G3.

To be honest, it was actually very mysterious for the Warriors to win that finals. If they hadn't taken the lead 3-0 right from the start, it would have been really hard to say.

This year's Bucks are really very different from last year's Cavaliers.

The Bucks did not give the Warriors a chance to take the lead. Whether the Warriors released Green, the Bucks released Jokic to resolve it, or the Warriors immediately changed from Green's traffic-directing tactics to Dooku pick-and-roll, let's put it this way, the Bucks are very, very well prepared.

With strong strength, tacit cooperation, and sufficient preparation, the team has more than one super giant and superstar. This is the first time that Chen Xiao has encountered such a team in the finals.

So as soon as G1 came up, the Bucks gave the Warriors great difficulties.

In Game 1 of the Finals on June 2, the Bucks visited the Oracle Arena in Golden State and defeated the Warriors 113-111.

In the fourth quarter of this game, the Warriors, led by Chen Xiao, made a crazy pursuit. Even though they beat the Warriors 29-20 in a single quarter, they still failed to catch up in the end.

Dooku's pick-and-roll shined in this game. Even if the Bucks felt cold in the fourth quarter, Durant and Curry could still work together to score 15 points, helping the Bucks finally hold on. leading advantage.

In this game, the Bucks' Durant made 15 of 26, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 40 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game.

In this game, Stephen Curry made 11 of 22, 7 of 12 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 31 points and 10 assists in the game.

Except for Durant and Curry, the offensive status of other Bucks players in this game was very average, especially Green, who made 3 of 11 in this game and 1 of 5 three-pointers in the whole game. 6 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

As a star player in three teams and one defense in this year's regular season, and also the core of the Bucks' offense and defense, Dream Green's performance in this game was quite poor.

Especially on the offensive end, of course, it can be seen from Chai Meng's assist data that in this game, Chai Meng has been deprived of the responsibility of the team's core organizer by Dooku's pick and roll.

His assist numbers are low because his playmaking is not needed.

However, although Chai Meng played poorly offensively in this game, his defense was still very good. Whether he was defending Jokic alone or assisting with defense against Nong Mei or other Warriors players, Chai Meng did a very good job. Not bad.

Maybe his offensive data in this game made his third team a little watery, but his defensive performance in this game is definitely worthy of the title of best defensive player.

The Bucks' lead in the first three quarters had a lot to do with his defense.

In this game, the offensive status of Dream Green, Iguodala and Antetokounmpo is indeed not good, but it is also terrifying for the three of them to devote all their energy to the defensive end.

On the Warriors side, the best performer in this game was Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao made 12 of 28 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 34 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 rebounds in the game. Assisted and blocked 3 shots.

Chen Xiao's statistics are still very comprehensive and gorgeous, but it can be seen from Chen Xiao's shooting percentage that Chen Xiao was very difficult to defend in this game.

It can be seen from Chen Xiao's three-point shooting rate that Chen Xiao has a good touch, but he does not have many chances to take action. It can be seen from Chen Xiao's two-point shooting rate of 7 out of 20. In this game, Chen Xiao, the god of mid-range, has Xiao's mid-range shooting encountered great obstacles.

In fact, Chen Xiao's actual mid-range shooting percentage in this game was only 4 of 16. It is absolutely unbelievable that Chen Xiao shot such a shooting percentage with his very good touch in this game.

However, the thing is so unbelievable. The Bucks' four forward players, Dream Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant and Iguodala, are not only strong in single defense and assist defense, but also fast.

Moreover, the long arms of these four people opened their hands and almost blocked the entire restricted area.

After the Bucks deliberately let go of Jokic and allowed the Warriors' offensive core to return from Jokic to Chen Xiao, the Bucks could defend Chen Xiao in a targeted manner.

Previously, the Warriors established Jokic as the core, and the biggest purpose was to liberate Chen Xiao and make Chen Xiao less defensive.

Now that the Bucks are doing this, Chen Xiao is directly exposed.

It can only be said that Cole understands the Bucks' system very well.

As the real owner, the Bucks also understand Cole, the pirate's system.

If you mess with my dream-chasing Green, I'll deal with your Jokic.

Let’s see if I, Chasing Green, can kill you or your Jokic can kill me.

As far as this game is concerned, Green, who shot 3 of 12, and Jokic, who shot 4 of 13, performed very poorly on the offensive end.

From the overall performance point of view, Jokic is even worse, because even if Dream Green has no offense, he still has defense, and Jokic has no offense and organization, and his defense is actually not that strong.

In short, in the first finals game between the Warriors and Bucks, the Bucks gave the Warriors a powerful attack right from the start, and this attack was very powerful.

After losing G1 in the finals, this was the first time in Chen Xiao's career that he lost G1 in the finals. In the past seven finals, Chen Xiao has never fallen behind.

Now that they have lost G1 at home, the pressure on the Warriors and Chen Xiao is a bit greater, which requires the Warriors to win G2.

Otherwise, according to the 232 format of the Finals, if they lose both home games, then the Warriors really need to worry about whether they can return to their home court.

On June 5, 2016, after the Warriors and Bucks rested for two days, the Finals G2 continued in Oakland.

Because the Warriors start this game with the mission of winning, this will put a lot of pressure on the Warriors players and coaches.

After the G1 game, most of the NBA experts felt that the Warriors would lose this finals.

The Bucks' probability of winning the championship has even reached 73%. This is actually understandable. From the perspective of G1, if Jokic cannot solve the problem, then it will be really difficult for the Warriors.

If Jokic is eliminated, then all the organizational burden of the Warriors will fall on Chen Xiao, while the Bucks have a bunch of forwards such as Antetokounmpo, Green, Iguodala, and Durant. Waiting for Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao will face extremely huge defensive pressure.

Green, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Iguodala, plus Ariza on the bench of the Bucks, Bucks fans claim that they have five 'locks from heaven', five 'magic catchers' '.

This is really not an exaggeration. The Bucks' five forward lineups are really strong.

The reason why the Bucks were so far ahead of the Warriors in the first three quarters of the last game was because there was a period in the third quarter when the Bucks played Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Ariza and Iguodala. The five-forward lineup has a lot to do with it.

During that period, the Warriors really couldn't score points!

Therefore, after such a game, it would be strange to say that experts are optimistic about the Warriors.

However, if you are not optimistic about it, you are not optimistic about it. For the Warriors, they must win this game.

For the Bucks, when the Warriors adopted the strategy of releasing Green, the Bucks decisively gave up Green's organization and returned to the team's strongest Dooku pick-and-roll.

In G2, Dooku's pick-and-roll even shined in the first quarter. In the first quarter, Curry scored 15 points in a single quarter, while Durant scored 4 of 5 in a single quarter and 2 of 2 three-pointers. 10 points.

The two scored 25 points together in the first quarter, and they were extremely efficient. Under the leadership of the two, the Bucks also scored an astonishing 40 points in the first quarter.

You know, although the Warriors' defense has loopholes, and Jokic was really embarrassed against the fifth grader, it still wouldn't allow a team to score 40 points in a single quarter like this.

However, although the Warriors' defense in this game is worth complaining about, it is very interesting that even if the Bucks scored 40 points in a single quarter, they still failed to lead the Warriors.

Because in the first quarter of this game, the Warriors scored 44 points in a single quarter.

The reason why the Warriors were able to score like this was entirely because Jokic's offense in the first quarter of this game came back.

When the Bucks encounter problems, they can give up Green immediately, because the Bucks have Dooku's invincible routine.

But the Warriors can't do it. The Warriors can't give up on Jokic when Jokic has a problem.

In this game, Jokic still assumed the important role of the team's core organizer from the very beginning.

Faced with Cole's trust and Chen Xiao's encouragement, Jokic made 6 of 7 in the first quarter of this game, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 15 points in a single quarter. !

This kind of offensive performance directly took away the Warriors' offense completely.

After Jokic started, the pressure on Chen Xiao dropped sharply, and Chen Xiao was able to cover for Bill, Clay, and Big Eyebrow on the offensive end. Then, the Warriors' offense was completely open.

In the entire first quarter, in addition to Jokic's highest 15 points, Chen Xiao made 4 of 6, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points. He scored 3 of 4, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 7 points. Clay and Beal both made 2 of 4 and scored 6 points.

This efficiency, this shooting percentage, it can be said that the Warriors played their best state in the playoffs in this quarter.

After all, the Bucks' defense is really strong. Being able to defeat the Bucks, the league's No. 1 defense this season, shows the Warriors' offensive level.

Let's put it this way, as long as Jokic starts, as long as Jokic can assume the organizational responsibility of the team, and then Chen Xiao plays support, and others surround Jokic and Chen Xiao, then the Warriors' offense will definitely be the best in the NBA First in history.

A shot can kill any team in NBA history.

That is to say, the Warriors' opponent in this game is the Bucks.

Otherwise, based on the Warriors' performance in the first three quarters of this game, other teams would have collapsed.

In addition to the incredible first quarter, the Warriors scored 30 and 35 points in the second and third quarters of this game respectively. In the first three quarters, they scored an incredible 109 points.

But what's even more incredible is that the opposing Bucks actually scored 102 points in the first three quarters.

The offense of the two teams in this game really stunned the fans in the audience and the experts in front of the TV.

In this game, the Bucks also want to complete their success in one game.

But in the end, even if they chased wildly in the fourth quarter, they still couldn't catch up. In the end, the Warriors, playing at home, defeated the Bucks 133-132 at their home court.

The process of this game was almost a replica of the previous one, but the final winner was the Warriors.

Therefore, at the end of the game, Chris Webber and Maizi, the commentators of this game, shouted crazily: "There is no doubt that the first two games of this finals are definitely the most exciting first two games I have ever seen. Finals!"

There is no doubt that Weber and Maizi are not the only ones who think so.

Whether they are Bucks fans or Warriors fans, even very neutral fans have this idea.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists in the game.

Jokic made 12 of 17, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game.

In addition to Chen Xiao and Jokic, in this game, the Warriors also had Klay, Beal, Dongmei, and Curry scoring in double figures. Among them, Klay 19 points, Dongmei 18 points, Beal 12 points, and Curry Jr. 11 points.

On the Bucks side, the best performer in this game was of course Dooku. Durant had 38 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, while Curry had 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in this game.

In this game, Durant and Curry both had a triple-double of 30+, which was the first time in the history of the NBA Finals.

Dooku's pick-and-roll, the Bucks' dual-core and dual-drive, are terrifying.

The Warriors are lamenting how terrifying the Bucks are.

On the other side, the Bucks lamented like this.

They never thought that the Warriors could be so strong!

They had played an almost perfect game, but in the end, they still lost!

So scary!
