I’m Really Playing Basketball

In G1 of the Finals, the Warriors and Bucks had a very lively first quarter, and it was really exciting to watch the exchange between Chen Xiao and the Big Three of the Bucks.

All four of them have very strong personal abilities, but none of them play individualistic basketball.

All four of them can hit hard with the ball, but no one of them does it during the game.

To be honest, this is really shocking. In the first quarter, almost every time the four of them attacked, they created the best opportunity before taking action.

This kind of basketball, according to TNT's commentator Maizi of this game, "What they played is simply art!"

Yes, the various offenses performed by Chen Xiao and the Big Three of the Bucks in the first quarter of this game did give people a very artistic feeling.

Basketball should be so coordinated, and Zhang Fei should be so embroidered.

Four superstars with extremely strong personal abilities, playing such reasonable basketball, this really puts many retired and active superstars in the NBA to shame.

Therefore, in the TNT studio, Barkley kept shouting during the first quarter of the game: "Deserve them to succeed, deserve them to succeed!"

The perspective returns to the Golden Eagle Arena again. After the first quarter of the game, Chen Xiao, Antetokounmpo, and Durant Curry played the entire first quarter before coming down.

To be honest, it was quite shocking to see Chen Xiao, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Curry coming down at the same time as the three people on my side.

Is this guy really a 40-year-old man?

Originally, they thought that the three of them together should be able to drag Chen Xiao down. Even if Chen Xiao has been beaten into a monster by playing ball, his physical strength is definitely his biggest problem.

Although the three of them are 34, 33 and 28, they are not considered young, but at least they are younger than Chen Xiao!

The three of them together, I don't believe they can't defeat him in a wheel battle!

Four years ago, when the three of them met Chen Xiao in the finals, Chen Xiao was 36 years old at the time. At that time, Chen Xiao still had extremely strong physical strength, but four years later, although they never played again Finals, but the normal rules cannot be escaped.

Although Chen Xiao is respected by everyone as the God of Basketball, he is not a real god. He does not have the body of a god!

but……

Seeing Chen Xiao facing the challenges and wheel battles of the three of them in the first quarter of the game, and facing the entire quarter without any fear, Durant and the others were a little shocked.

Of course, compared with Durant and the other three, as the head coach of the Bucks, Ray Allen certainly can't just be shocked.

To be honest, in this finals, the Bucks' only opponent is Chen Xiao.

Let's put it this way, the Warriors' lineup is indeed one of the strongest in history.

But without Chen Xiao, no matter how thick the Warriors' lineup is, it will still be a ragtag team.

Just like the Bobcats before, without Chen Xiao, this team couldn't even make it to the finals.

In the end it can only fall apart.

Therefore, for Ray Allen and the Bucks, there are so many memories of being defeated by Chen Xiao over the years. Let's put it this way. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Bucks have changed their minds when talking about Chen Xiao.

After all, Chen Xiao has been in ten finals and won ten championships. Chen Xiao in the finals can really do anything.

As long as Chen Xiao still has fighting ability, no one dares to say that they can defeat Chen Xiao in the finals.

In this case, Durant Curry and the others want to confront Chen Xiao and take the scepter from Chen Xiao's hand just like Jordan and Pippen took the scepter from the magician's hand.

Then he must be happy to see this.

The three of you fight against Chen Xiao. It’s best if Chen Xiao’s physical strength is gone. As long as Chen Xiao takes over, the three of you only need to be responsible for wearing down Chen Xiao. As for the rotation of the team, it’s up to Huo Le Dee and others were in charge.

I have to say, this is really risky.

However, there is no way, the temptation to bring Chen Xiao down is too great.

And Chen Xiao is indeed 40 years old. Under this situation, the Warriors and the Lakers played such a meat grinder series. Therefore, as long as an individual is faced with such a choice, he will not have any choice. Hesitant, naturally so is Ray Allen.

Of course, in the first quarter, Chen Xiao faced off and held on. Ray Allen and Durant were equally impressed.

After all, he is Chen Xiao, and there is no problem for him to do things that other 40-year-old players cannot do.

However, Ray Allen, like Durant, does not believe that Chen Xiao can persist for a long time.

One game is okay, two games are okay, but what about the third game?

However, Chen Xiao will definitely be dragged down in the future.

But one problem the Bucks need to face in the second quarter is that the team will be without any of the Big Three for at least 3 minutes.

Holiday will bring Grayson Allen, Matthews and Connaughton, and Bobby Portis to face the Warriors' strongest rotation in the NBA.

In fact, the Bucks' rotation without the Big Three is also quite strong.

These five players, if switched to any other NBA team, would have the ability to average 10 points per game.

Coupled with the fact that Holiday, an All-Star player who is good at offense and defense, leads the team, there is no problem in playing a three-minute game without the Big Three.

However, when you see the Warriors' rotation, you will wonder why Ray Allen feels guilty.

Jordan Poole, Alexander, Klay, Michael Porter Jr., Anthony.

This is a standard five-small lineup.

And it is also aimed at the Bucks' five small lineups. Anthony will definitely not be able to play center when he meets other teams, but when he meets the Bucks, he can really do it, because the Bucks do not have a standard big center to punish Anthony.

The Warriors' rotation of an all-substitute lineup is really strong offensively.

On the court, Holiday forced Poole to drive to the basket. Facing the help of Michael Porter Jr., he made a mid-range fadeaway shot. It was the Warriors' turn to attack.

The Warriors, who are quick to serve baseline balls, are seizing every second of offensive time.

The Warriors don't know how long the Big Three will take a break together. The Bucks without the Big Three are at their weakest. The Bucks want to play slow, but they definitely want to play fast!

Poole, Clay, Porter, and Alexander rushed towards the opposite side like a tide. The four of them went to the basket together, compressing the Bucks' defense like a biscuit. Then, Alexander suddenly turned around and passed the ball. Anthony from beyond the three-point line.

Facing Matthews' defense, Anthony deceived Matthews with a standard three-threat fake spurt, and then made a pull-up three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

A swipe!

The basketball thrown by Anthony drew a wonderful arc and fell into the net.

After hitting the ball, Anthony pointed his index fingers to the sky.

This is his first goal in the finals of his career!

As a superstar player who has played in the NBA for 19 years, it was not until the end of his career that he stood on the stage of the finals for the first time.

Seeing Anthony with his hands pointing to the sky at this time, Carter in the stands was actually very emotional.

Anthony and him are so similar.

They all became famous at a young age, they all had rough lives, and they all suffered from the persecution of New York's underdogs.

He was one step ahead of Anthony, winning the championship next to his old rival Chen Xiao and getting a taste of what it's like to be a championship.

Now, Anthony is embarking on the same path he once took.

"The Bucks may be the strongest team in the NBA, but the Warriors are definitely the most dangerous team!"

In the stands, Carter couldn't help but say, while Chen Xiao's good friend Nash next to him was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

Yes, the Warriors are very dangerous. Every player on this team who plays on the court is full of danger.

For example, Anthony is playing in the finals for the first time in his 19-year career. You can imagine what kind of energy he will exert.

He must be eager to burn all the oil in his tank now.

On the court, Anthony feels hot. The Bucks will definitely give Anthony a head-on response and suppress Anthony's arrogance.

So, looking back, Portis will single out Anthony in the paint.

Snap!

I originally thought that my fake move had deceived Anthony into taking off, and he could throw the ball in as long as he followed the trend and made a take-off throw.

Unexpectedly, Anthony took off so fast for the second time, and his ball was actually blocked by Anthony who took off for the second time!

Anthony's current jumping is definitely not as good as it was at his peak, but that's exactly what happened. He didn't jump high enough, so he adjusted quickly. Coupled with his second take-off ability, it's as strong as ever.

Don't think that Anthony is bad because he is always blocked under the basket. Anthony is the real god under the basket, not only the god of blocks, but also the god of blocks.

Let's put it this way, if you don't have the ability to continuously take off from the basket, you won't be able to get a rebound if you want to be blocked under the basket.

With Portis's size, it is simply unthinkable to think of overpowering Anthony like this at the basket.

Of course, you have to consider the Bucks' lineup. Now they can only use Portis to beat Anthony.

After Anthony blocked Portis, the basketball fell into the hands of Matthews. Matthews took a mid-range shot during the change, but ultimately failed to hit. Anthony grabbed the rebound.

After passing the basketball to Alexander, Anthony, who had just successfully defended, rushed forward without stopping.

Seeing Anthony running around the field like this on TV, Westbrook's face in front of the TV was very ugly.

This guy has never worked so hard when playing with himself.

As long as he works so hard on the defensive end, he won't take the blame and be kicked out.

If he could work so hard in the game, it would be impossible for the New York team to not advance past the second round in so many years.

At this time, Westbrook was full of complaints about Anthony.

But if Anthony knew about it, he would definitely be very dismissive.

Just you and the Knicks, are you worthy of me?

Do you deserve it?

How many handfuls are there?

Anthony's running like this may not necessarily give him a chance to make a shot. This time, Alexander did not pass the ball and directly completed the layup in one stop.

However, Anthony is still happy. Even if he can't take a shot, even if he doesn't score, he is at least dragging Portis by his side by running forward like this.

With Portis, the only inside defensive pillar, being restrained by himself, it would be much easier for Alexander to fight all the way to the end.

This is the team’s awareness. There are some things that cannot be reflected in data.

Historically, as many people have said, James scored 29+7+8 in a game. The statistics are very beautiful, but when you look at the game, it is not the case at all.

James' game is all about data. He doesn't do anything that has no data but is beneficial to the team.

In this regard, Duncan is the two extremes. When Duncan plays on the court, he does not pursue statistics, pick-and-rolls, screens, and various off-ball offenses and defenses. There will be no statistics for this, and there may not be any points, assists, or rebounds.

However, as long as Duncan is there, the Spurs will always be a championship-level team.

What is the cornerstone? This is the cornerstone.

The cornerstone is the blood transfusion for the team.

Only moths suck the blood of the team.

In the past, Anthony was said to be a moth. This may be an exaggeration, but he did rarely sacrifice for the team.

But after coming to the Warriors this season, Anthony has become more and more team-oriented.

So much so that many people who watched Anthony play for the first time this season were stunned.

"Is this the same Anthony who competed with Westbrook in New York?"

By the way, the GIF of Anthony and Westbrook competing for a basketball together is quite popular on the Internet in this time and space.

Of course, in historical time and space, the protagonists of this Gif are Westbrook and Durant.

The rotation time of the second quarter started. As soon as it started, the Warriors suppressed the Bucks so much that Ray Allen couldn't sit still.

Chen Xiao and Cole applauded Anthony, Alexander and the Warriors' rotation players on the court.

Ray Allen, on the other hand, immediately signaled Antetokounmpo to warm up.

There is no way, at this time, we can't delay it any longer.

Even if they are unwilling to let the Big Three play now, one of the Big Three must stabilize the situation on the court for the next dead ball.

Of course, seeing Antetokounmpo about to play, Chen Xiao, who was cheering for his teammates on the sidelines, went directly to the technical stage.

Yes, Antetokounmpo is on, Chen Xiao is on!

If you want to let the three giants take turns to rest separately, there is no way!

The Big Three, let’s go together!

I, Chen Xiao, will never fight one person. I, Chen Xiao, will only fight three!

Unless you believe that Antetokounmpo and the team can stop me, Ray Allen, you have no choice!

Yes, seeing Chen Xiao walking to the technical table after Antetokounmpo walked to the technical table, Ray Allen was really confused.

Is this man really a 40-year-old man who has been consumed for a whole period?

Why did he suddenly feel that it was not him who was consuming Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao who was actively consuming the Big Three!

Let Antetokounmpo lead the rotation to compete with Chen Xiao. To be honest, Ray Allen really doesn't have the courage.

If this is the case, it would be better not to have Antetokounmpo.

The Warriors have such a strong rotation, coupled with the driving force Chen Xiao, their strength is definitely not something Antetokounmpo can stop.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao walked to the technical table, Curry and Durant immediately followed him.

Faced with this strange situation, TNT's on-site commentator Maizi was stunned for a moment, followed by another burst of yelling.

"God does not passively accept challenges, he actively accepts the challenges of the Bucks' Big Three!"

A 40-year-old veteran took the initiative to accept the challenge of the three strongest Big Three in NBA history!

"What a courage!"

Maizi was stunned by Chen Xiao's courage.

And it wasn't just Maizi who was shocked by Chen Xiao's courage, for example, Mr. Ke was in front of the TV.

"Because he is the god of basketball!"

Jordan was the god of basketball, but Kobe was never convinced.

This can be seen from the fact that in history, the boss of Ke turned from a Joe honey to a Joe fanatic.

Even though Jordan is his idol, Jordan is the god of basketball, so he is definitely not convinced. He thinks if Jordan can do it, he can do it too.

The boss of this time and space department also has the same mentality.

But for Chen Xiao, Mr. Ke is really convinced. Throughout Chen Xiao's 20-year career, he has never been afraid of any challenge!

Even if such a challenge is extremely unfavorable to him, he will never shy away from fighting.

This kind of courage is really not something ordinary people can have.

Only the god of basketball can have such invincible confidence and courage!

This is the spirit of the basketball god!

However, the spirit is the spirit, can he still do it?

Kobe couldn't help but become worried again.
