I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 10, 2016, this was the second finals game at Bradley Arena this season and the fourth game in the entire finals.

In the previous three games, the Bucks have taken a big lead 2-1.

For the Warriors, who were once again behind in the finals and at a disadvantage in the game situation, this away game has even become a game they must win.

If G1 loses, G2's home game is also a game that must be won. In the end, they did win it. Then the difficulty for G4 to win this game is much greater than that of G2.

After all, this is no longer Oracle Arena, this is the Bucks’ Bradley Arena.

The importance of G4 is not only clear to the players, but also to the fans.

So no matter how much Milwaukee fans love Chen Xiao, when the game started, most of the Milwaukee fans were cheering and cheering crazily for the Bucks.

"If the Bucks win this game at home, they may not be able to return to Golden State or Oracle Arena in the finals!"

TNT's commentator for this game, Mai Zi, said this very cruelly, but even many Warriors fans agreed.

If they lose this game again and fall behind 1-3, they really don't have the confidence to win the game at the Bucks' home court in G5.

"This game is a life and death battle for the Bucks. Let's see if Steve Kerr will make adjustments that have been long overdue in this game. If he still presses the nuclear button, , then I can tell all Warriors fans clearly that your team is gone."

Before the players from both sides even entered the game, Maizi was already firing on Warriors head coach Cole.

And when the players from both sides come on the field and the starting players from both sides come to the court and prepare to start the game.

Maizi was attacking Cole like crazy.

"Congratulations to the Warriors, they have an extremely stubborn and idiotic head coach, and this idiot has no self-awareness at all. He thinks he is an NBA championship coach. In fact, he is just a poor hermit crab attached to God. And this hermit crab thinks he is a giant who can change the world."

Well, in this finals, in addition to the exciting three games between the Bucks and Warriors, Wheat's crazy output against Cole was also a huge highlight.

To be able to make Maizi perform like this, and also be recognized by the Warriors fans in front of the TV, naturally the Warriors' starting lineup tonight is not in line with their wishes.

The Bucks' starting lineup for this game is Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Iguodala and Curry.

The Warriors' starters are still Jokic, Nong Mei, Chen Xiao, Clay and Beal.

As in the previous three games, both sides still did not change their starting lineup.

It's for sure that the Bucks won't change their starting lineup.

But the Warriors...

Let's put it this way, after the end of G3, many expert fans in the NBA have even formulated a new game-breaking tactic for the Warriors, and have even arranged a new starter with Chen Xiao playing center.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Cole should do the same when the Warriors face a desperate situation.

As for Cole, the lineup in this game let them down.

Disappointment is naturally followed by huge blame.

However, these people don’t think about it either. Wouldn’t the Bucks think of things that you all can think of?

Cole is not Jordan. Cole actually has the courage to change formations, but he is not as reckless as Jordan. Cole has always been very cautious.

Moreover, such prudence is unanimously supported by Chen Xiao and Jerry West.

Even though the whole world is full of criticism against Cole, as long as he has the support of the two Warriors bosses, Chen Xiao and Jerry West, he can still insist on being himself.

"God, I just can't move!"

Even Bucks head coach Ray Allen admires such persistence.

Just like a turtle.

This left his secret weapon for the Warriors unused.

To be honest, the Warriors' nuclear weapons have not been destroyed, their morale has not collapsed, and they still pose a huge threat to the Bucks.

For Ray Allen, he is actually very willing to see Cole give up Jokic.

Otherwise, releasing Jokic like this in every game will always make him feel like it is an uncontrollable explosion point.

Jokic is not yet 22 years old this year. Logically speaking, this European's strength, potential, and mentality cannot be that strong. Even a player like Dream Chasing, in the finals, encounters such a situation, and his offense is unbalanced. Well, Jokic encountered the same situation and it was difficult not to be affected.

Although that is said, Jokic is still a player who shot over 55% in the regular season, shooting 60% from close range two-pointers, 55% from mid-range two-pointers, and 55% from long-range two-pointers. %, the three-point shooting percentage is 40%. Look at this shooting percentage. If you want to let such a player go like that, it would be really crazy.

Dream Green also shot 40% from three-pointers this season and 50% from the season. However, his short-range, mid-range, and long-range two-point shooting rates were 34%, 37%, and 30% respectively. With such a two-point shooting rate and a 40% three-point shooting rate, to be honest, it really feels like luck.

But Jokic was really not lucky.

As long as he performs at the same level of offense as he did in the regular season in the Finals, the Bucks will pay a huge price.

Therefore, Ray Allen took a very big risk by executing such a strategy, and why did he take such a big risk?

For no other reason than to destroy Jokic and destroy the Warriors' offense!

As long as the Warriors give up Jokic, the Bucks can encircle and suppress Chen Xiao, and the secret weapon he prepared for Chen Xiao and the Warriors will be useful!

But judging from the Warriors' starting lineup in this game, the Warriors' Jokic's trust made him feel incredible.

Why is Jokic, a white European center who is less than 22 years old, able to gain so much trust from Chen Xiao, Cole and the Warriors?

Ray Allen really doesn't understand.

Not to mention that Jokic is a white European, even if he is a white American, in this case, the Warriors should give up on him.

In fact, now everyone in the world, except Cole and the Warriors, has given up on Jokic.

However, it is useless for these people to give up Jokic. It will be useful if Chen Xiao, Cole and the Warriors give up Jokic.

When the game started, Ray Allen was actually very nervous, but the expression on his face was that of a wise gentleman.

A thick eyebrow jump ball beat Antetokounmpo, and the Warriors got their first offensive opportunity of the game.

Moreover, the Warriors' first offense in this game gave Cole a heavy blow.

Chen Xiao came out to catch the ball amid the heavy blockage of the Bucks. Facing Antetokounmpo's single defense and Durant's help defense that gave up his thick eyebrows at any time, Chen Xiao broke through with the ball and stopped going deep. Instead, he passed back to Jokic outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Jokic received a pass from Chen Xiao, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer!

3 to 0!

Chen Xiao, like Cole, really believes in Jokic!

Seeing this offense of the Warriors, Ray Allen gave up his last vestige of fantasy.

"If we can't score a big score of 3-1, it's impossible to force the Warriors to make changes!"

"Sure enough, it was a mistake to imagine others making mistakes from the beginning. How could an opponent like Chen give us such an opportunity!"

"Our victory must be won by ourselves!"

On the court, facing Jokic's three-pointer, the Bucks decisively chose the Dooku pick-and-roll in the opening game. The Dooku pick-and-roll beat the Warriors to death in the first three games. Cole also fought hard in this game. , two people can't guard Dooku's pick-and-roll, so three people!

Chasing Green, the Warriors don't care.

Dreaming Green received a pass from Curry and also hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

3 to 3!

Immediately afterwards, because Jokic hit a three-pointer before, the Bucks wanted to give Jokic some strength. When Chen Xiao broke through, Jokic did not let it go so big, and this also gave Jokic some strength. Odd passing opportunity.

After Chen Xiao broke through and passed the ball to Jokic, he immediately covered Clay on the spot.

Jokic, who received the pass from Chen Xiao, understood it well and did not face Green's flying shot. Instead, he made a fake shot and passed the ball to Clay, who came out with the help of Chen Xiao's screen.

Clay received a pass from Jokic, and before Iguodala bypassed Chen Xiao's screen and came out, he fired a three-pointer and hit again!

6 to 3!

Immediately afterwards, Iguodala received a pass from Curry and hit two points from the mid-range, 6-5!

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. With the help of Chen Xiao's screen, Bill received a pass from Jokic and hit a two-pointer from a long distance, 8-5!

Curry and Durant were on a pick-and-roll, and were once again surrounded by three Warriors. Curry once again gave up passing the ball to Durant, and instead hit the ball to Antetokounmpo, who was free this time. Detokounmpo broke through for a layup, but was blocked by Jokic. His thick eyebrows helped block the shot.

In two consecutive attacks, Jokic sent out attacks. This time, the Bucks chose to continue to let Jokic go, betting on Jokic's touch.

But this time, after receiving the ball, Jokic did not take a three-point shot. Facing the Bucks' gambling defense, he took a step forward and made a long-distance two-point shot. He hit the ball and caused a flying shot by Dream Green. Foul, extra penalty hit, score 2+1.

11 to 5!

This start obviously shocked the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

In this game, Jokic's choices in attacking and passing were simply amazing.

This is too strong!

Everyone was stunned by Jokic at the start of the game.

But Chen Xiao, who was high-fiving Jokic at this time, would not be surprised.

Although Chen Xiao didn't know that in history, Jokic averaged 25 points, 13 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, 51% of his shots and 40% of his three-pointers in his first playoff game in history.

However, Chen Xiao has a system.

This is Jokic!

This is the offensive, superstar-level center in the system who entered the NBA with A-level abilities and now has A-level abilities after playing two seasons!

Even judging from Jokic's control in the first few rounds of this game, maybe he has evolved again!

He could only confirm this after the game.

Regardless of whether he has evolved or not, for a superstar center who has at least A-level strength and an extremely comprehensive offense, Ray Allen and the Bucks' defensive strategy against him is simply humiliating Jokic.

As long as Jokic removes his psychological shackles, he can give this defensive strategy a heavy blow.

Therefore, while Chen Xiao has been supporting Jokic, he has also been releasing Jokic's pressure and encouraging Jokic.

Now it seems that such support, encouragement and pressure reduction are correct.

Jokic finally resurrected and returned to normal!

It was the Bucks' turn to attack again. This time Dooku picked and rolled. Curry did not pass the ball to Antetokounmpo, who was open, nor to Durant, who was surrounded by Klay and Bill, who was always ready to attack. It was his own thick eyebrows that made him look bigger. After playing with the thick eyebrows, Curry still hit the iron from outside the three-point line.

Although Nongmei was tricked by him, Nongmei's arms were still too long, which still affected his shooting. This time, the drift was too big.

Immediately afterwards, Jokic seized the opportunity when the Bucks tried to increase intensity on him, passed the ball and assisted Klay to hit a three-pointer, 14-5!

Dooku's pick-and-roll failed to hit in two consecutive rounds, and the Bucks once again switched to Green's traffic command mode. At least, Green would be left open, and Green hit a 3-pointer in this game.

But this time, Dream Green didn't get a chance to let go. As he was dribbling past half court, he was suddenly grabbed by Chen Xiao and made a dribbling error.

Dream Green was shocked when his mistake was intercepted by Chen Xiao.

What about letting me go short?

Why don't you follow the script? !

In fact, the error rate of Green, who dribbles the ball across half court and directs traffic at the top of the key, is quite high.

As Chen Xiao stole Dream Green and scored with a dunk, the Warriors actually had a 16-5 spurt against the Bucks in the opening game!

This really shocked all the experts who had predicted this game.

What's even more surprising is that even if Cole requested a timeout and strengthened his defense against the Warriors and Jokic, the Warriors players really no longer hesitated about whether Jokic's defense should be loose or tight.

However, after the first quarter, the Bucks were still 18 points behind 30-48 at home!

Yes, you read that right, in the first quarter of this game, the Bucks actually allowed the Warriors to score more than 45 points in a single quarter!

In this quarter, Bucks fans seemed to see the first quarter of G2 again.

But it's different. Although the Warriors' points are a little less, the Warriors' control and dominance of the game have significantly increased!

Fans don't know exactly what happened, but they can feel it!

When the game ended, the score on the scoreboard was 135 to 120. The Warriors defeated the Bucks away from home and evened the score again. They all felt it...

"The turning point in the finals has come, and now it's dangerous to become the Bucks!"

Chris Webber shouted excitedly.

Maizi next to him was still in shock.
