I’m Really Playing Basketball

With Antetokounmpo, Curry and Durant playing, the Bucks' lineup became Curry, Holiday, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Portis. That's the Bucks' starting lineup.

When this lineup appeared on the court for the Bucks, Bucks head coach Ray Allen was very embarrassed on the sidelines.

With Chen Xiao coming on the court, he and the Bucks will have a lonely rotation tonight.

Yes, since Curry, Durant and three others are on the court, let them bring Matthews or Grayson Allen, it is better to let Holiday and Portis on the court.

Holiday and Portis rested for half a quarter in the first quarter, so they can't be allowed to leave, right?

Less than three minutes into the second quarter, all the Bucks' main players came on the field again.

This is definitely something that disrupted the rotation rhythm of Ray Allen and the Bucks.

Look at the Warriors. Except for Chen Xiao who replaced Jordan Poole, the other players have not changed!

Yes, the Warriors' current lineup is Chen Xiao, Anthony, Klay, Michael Porter Jr., and Alexander.

This is really outrageous.

I don’t know if the Warriors are really bold, or if they really believe in their bench players, or if Cole is playing the Bucks’ way. Since you Bucks want to consume my Chen Xiao, then I will Can't you use my rotation to consume your main force?

When your main force and my rotation are fighting to the death, and my main force goes up again, won't that advantage come out?

No one knows what Kerr and the Warriors think now.

At least, Ray Allen doesn't know.

But looking at the Warriors lineup on the court...

Alexander, Clay, Michael Porter Jr., Anthony, Chen Xiao...

To be honest, this lineup of the Warriors is really not that easy to play!

Ray Allen frowned.

The Warriors' rotation is extremely powerful offensively.

As for defense, you can't count on defense with this lineup. Basically, Klay is chasing Curry, and everyone else can just stay on guard.

As for whether he will be beaten to death by Durant, there is really no way.

However, if this lineup can hold the Bucks down during the rotation stage, then the Warriors' lineup will be successful.

In fact, they don't need to defeat the Warriors. As long as they hold the Warriors back and maintain the advantage established by the previous substitute lineup, or even fall slightly behind, then it will be considered a success!

And that's what this lineup is doing right now.

For this task, the players on the Warriors court are well aware of it.

Therefore, after the game restarted on the court, in addition to Anthony sitting at the basket, Chen Xiao, Michael Porter Jr. and Alexander all surrounded the paint area to defend.

As long as you don't get to the free throw line, I won't pester you desperately. Of course, Curry must not be let go. When Curry cooperates with his teammates, he still has to go out.

There is really no way around this, and this is the ultimate that the Warriors' lineup can achieve.

It is true that Chen Xiao and Anthony can't run away now.

Both men can only squat under the basket now.

As long as the Bucks don't have a big center, the power of the two squatting under the basket is still okay.

Therefore, it also gives Klay, Alexander and Michael Porter Jr. room to go out.

Although the Warriors are shrinking their defense now, they can still go wide.

And this is why Durant is said to be beaten to death.

Because of the Warriors' extreme defensive approach, they will definitely miss a lot of mid-range shots.

And Durant’s mid-range...

Let's put it this way, in the 2017 Finals in history, Durant stood up to the defender and shot over 70%!

Durant in the Finals was really strong, but what's interesting is that in the Finals, Durant's shooting percentage on open shots was only about 50%, which was not as good as having a defender in front of him.

Therefore, many fans joked on the Internet that the best way to defend Durant is to let him shoot open.

Another person who said this was Mr. Ke.

However, this is all a joke.

For players like Durant and Kobe, even if they don't score, you don't dare to let them go.

Durant's mid-range is extremely accurate, but relatively speaking, the mid-range is not so easy to kill people.

Curry's three-pointers can widen the point difference.

But Durant's two points were not so easy to separate.

Therefore, even if the Warriors are seriously injured and survive, the Bucks will be under the most pressure when the main force behind them comes up.

Chen Xiao has played against the Bucks so many times, and he knows very well where the Bucks' lineup is. Not only Chen Xiao knows it, but Clay, the only other player on the Warriors who has many years of experience in the finals, also knows it very well.

So after the game restarted, Clay went directly up to entangle Curry, and he pulled and pulled him.

Curry can run, and so can Klay.

Both of them are among the five best players in NBA history who can move without the ball. Both of them are very good at running.

Clay's posture not only requires him to fight Curry, but also consumes Curry.

The Bucks know that as long as Chen Xiao is exhausted, the Warriors will be paralyzed.

The Warriors are no fools either. As long as Curry is exhausted, the Bucks will be half paralyzed, if not completely paralyzed.

Therefore, it is definitely an extremely unexpected accident that G1 of this finals ended like this.

No one expected that the Big Three of the Bucks personally took the lead in consuming Chen Xiao, but they were not able to consume Chen Xiao. They did not even scare Chen Xiao. Instead, Chen Xiao turned the army around. Now the two teams We have gone too far on the road of consumption.

At least, that's what this game is.

Now, just look, Chen Xiaoxian is consumed by the Big Three of the Bucks.

Or Curry was consumed by Clay first.

Of course, at this time, most people must be like Kobe and are not optimistic about Chen Xiao and the Warriors.

Again, Chen Xiao is 40 years old. At the same time, in this year’s Western Conference Finals, Chen Xiao had the second-worst shooting percentage of his career. In the eyes of many people, this is because he and Jokic consumed too much. Many people think that Chen Xiao is at the end of his game, which is completely normal.

Otherwise, Ray Allen would not have tested Chen Xiao in this way as soon as he came up.

If you can take shortcuts, why do you have to work so hard to formulate tactics to limit the Warriors or defend the Warriors and Chen Xiao?

Therefore, when the game restarted, the audience watching the game saw a very interesting scene.

On the court, the Bucks were frantically looking for Chen Xiao.

On the Warriors' side, it's Clay, frantically looking for Curry.

To sum up the Bucks' tactics, they don't have to chase the score, but Chen Xiao must die!

As for the Warriors' tactics, to sum up, the score can be behind, but Curry must die!

Seeing such a scene, Mr. Ke in front of the TV kept sighing in his heart.

This is the disadvantage of a team's formation being too obvious.

When the enemy knows where your formation is, can you expect your opponent not to touch it?

Moreover, in the second quarter of this game, the two teams really caught each other's formation, not just touching it, but simply kicking it.

Curry was even on the court and almost spit out his braces to fight Clay.

Clay can really run and use his hands and feet. As long as he catches Curry, he will hug and catch him.

You say how dirty it is, it's definitely not dirty, but most people really can't stand it.

Especially for Curry, Klay is almost like he has a tacit understanding.

The two have been old rivals for many years. They are both old rivals who can run. It is normal to say that they have some understanding with each other.

So much so that even if Curry calls his teammates to cover, Clay can often get around.

In fact, Clay is indeed better at getting around screens.

In comparison, even those who can run will not run around the screen.

Being pestered by Clay, Curry really wanted to hit Clay with the ball.

In the playoffs, when there is no ball movement, the referee basically does not call a foul. It is said that even if he is killed, the referee will not take a look.

NBA referees habitually touch the side of the ball.

It's definitely possible to play Klay in isolation with the ball.

However, for the interests of the Bucks, that is really not cost-effective.

Klay's defense is excellent. It's difficult to beat him in isolation with the ball. Even if you hit Klay and consume Klay, it won't do any harm to the Warriors.

Therefore, the Bucks' singles with the ball in this game were all aimed at Chen Xiao.

Consumption for Chen Xiaolai.

Under this circumstance, it is understandable that Curry almost lost his mentality when being chased by Clay.

Durant and Antetokounmpo stared at Chen Xiao wildly.

Clay chased after him frantically.

Only when Durant and Antetokounmpo exhausted Chen Xiao could he have a chance to take revenge against Clay with the ball.

However, as the game progressed, Durant became a little tired, and Chen Xiao didn't feel tired at all.

Originally, Ray Allen thought that the Warriors would last up to five minutes during the rotation in the second quarter, and even within five minutes, the Warriors would replace all their main players to protect Chen Xiao.

However, what shocked Ray Allen and Curry was that Chen Xiao never called for substitutions, and Morant, Marvin Bagley, Wiggins and Herbert Jones, even though they had If you are standing on the technical stage, you are not allowed to come up.

Yes, Chen Xiao brought four substitute players, Anthony, Klay, Alexander and Michael Porter Jr., and actually had a hard time with the Bucks.

It wasn't until there were four minutes left in the second quarter that the Warriors were overtaken by an angry three-pointer from Curry!

Yes, it took the Bucks a full six minutes to even out the five-point difference with one main player and four substitutes, Chen Xiao of the Warriors.

Moreover, the Warriors still have the ball.

It can be seen how fiercely the two teams played in these six minutes.

After being stalked by Clay for half a quarter, Curry came out under the cover of Portis and hit a super long three-pointer, and then screamed directly at Clay to vent the anger he was holding in his heart.

There's no way, the Bucks were really frustrated in this game.

The team's rotation was disrupted. I originally thought that Chen Xiao's strategy would be exhausted, but in the end, Curry, Antetokounmpo and Durant almost played at full capacity in the first half. In the end, they were full. Although he was sweating, Chen Xiao still calmly signaled the team to suspend substitutions after the score went ahead.

After the timeout, the Warriors replaced all starting players.

Chen Xiao, Marvin Bagley, Wiggins, Herbert Jones, Morant.

The Bucks, on the other hand, still have their original lineup.

Therefore, the Bucks fans at the scene could clearly see that when the two teams stood on the court again, the players of the two teams had different spirits.

The Warriors are really like wolves and tigers.

As for the Bucks, the players' fatigue can clearly be seen.

In fact, many people are also looking for Chen Xiao to show such a tired look.

However, when the live broadcast camera focused on Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's face was covered with sweat and his breathing was rapid.

But obviously, compared with Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo, Chen Xiao is obviously not that vain.

Yes, from the surface, Chen Xiao's current situation is even better than Durant and Curry. This is very disappointing.

After the timeout, the game restarted. As soon as the Warriors came up, Morant took the ball and made a pick-and-roll with Chen Xiao. He took the ball and went directly to the basket.

For the Bucks without a big center, Morant looked like his eyes were bloodthirsty. It was much easier to beat the Bucks than the Lakers!

At the beginning of the game, Morant started like this, and Durant was able to come back to make up for it.

And this time, when Morant went in, although Durant was back, he was obviously a step slower. This allowed Morant not to pass the ball at all, but directly against Durant's help. It's a powerful and violent dunk!

It has to be said that the most powerful point guard in the NBA now truly deserves his reputation.

After Rose and Westbrook have gotten older, Morant's current ability to rush the frame is really a bit invincible.

Especially with Chen Xiao assisting Morant, and all the teammates around him can shoot and open up space for him, Morant feels very comfortable playing.

Historically, when Morant met Curry, he would score 30 or 40 points at every turn. But in this time and space, Morant, who has a stronger control over the game, may not score 30 or 40 points at every turn, but he still scores 30 or 40 points. It can definitely make Curry's team more uncomfortable.

It should be much more uncomfortable.

Now Morant is taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

Morant was killing the Bucks' penalty area on the court, which really gave Ray Allen a brain hemorrhage on the sidelines.

This is the consequence of consuming Chen Xiao but not consuming it!

After the Bucks' rotation was disrupted, the team's starting physical strength had problems.

In this case, this game basically explained that the Warriors and Cole could not let go of such an opportunity, and this is because the Warriors have a sharp knife like Morant.

The final result was that the Bucks took a 1-point lead with 4 minutes left in the second quarter, but after that, the Bucks never had a chance to take the lead.

In the end, the Bucks, playing at home, actually lost to the Warriors 118-127 at home.

Not only was this game lost, it was also a complete defeat!

"A rout even for the Bucks!"

Spoelstra said blankly at the scene.

Seeing this score, he couldn't even believe it.

He played six games with the Heat and never defeated the Bucks even once.

And the Warriors defeated the Bucks right away!

The reason for all this is the man enjoying the cheers of the fans at the Bucks' home court...

That basketball god!
