This Forward is Not Serious

Of course Durant didn't know the reason for Lin Ying's concerns, but he could still understand why Lin Ying said that.

After all, he was defeated by Pachulia in last year's finals.

The Bucks are eager to win tonight, and there is no guarantee that this will happen if they really hit the top.

"Don't worry, I suffered a loss once and escaped once. This experience is probably unparalleled by anyone."

Durant smiled and patted his chest.

Lin Ying nodded. This time he didn't think Durant was planting a flag.

Everything in this world cannot escape the word experience.

The more times you do it, the more experience you will gain.

Lin Ying nodded. Next, it was time to reward Antetokounmpo for his courage.

As the saying goes, the more frustrated you are, the braver you become. If you don't defeat him, he will not become stronger.

I hit you for your own good!

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

Bucks: Brogdon, Tony Snell, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Thon Maker;

Nets: Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic;

Antetokounmpo and Jokic’s jump ball in the center circle.

Antetokounmpo made an easy jump and moved the ball back to the Bucks half over Jokic's head.

The Bucks advanced into the frontcourt and the ball was in Antetokounmpo's hands.

The Bucks' style of play is a standard one-star shooting. Antetokounmpo plays with the ball, and everyone else opens up the space.

This is why his partner in the post is the little-known Mark, rather than Monroe, who has played a great role in the Pistons.

Because Mark has outside range, he can open up the space.

Ariza is the one guarding Antetokounmpo, and his role is to target the opponent's core.

Antetokounmpo chose to attack facing the frame. His back-to-frame skills are not mature yet, and his current playing style is more like the power forward version of James.

A shaking, then accelerating and thrusting hard inside.

Ariza's judgment was very accurate. He went up to fight in the first shot and refused to give Antetokounmpo a speed.

However, Antetokounmpo's confrontation was stronger than he imagined, and Antetokounmpo rushed the ball very resolutely.

That was a Spanish bull that saw the red cloth and rushed inward!

Ariza was knocked away mercilessly after a brief power struggle.

Although Antetokounmpo was blocked for a while, his momentum remained unabated, and the key is that his hands are really long, and he reached out more than one meter away from the basket.

"Bang!"

A powerful one-handed dunk slammed the ball into the basket!

This ball caused a stir in the scene.

Antetokounmpo also turned around after dunking, arched his arms and roared at Ariza!

This opening is an opening that represents his determination.

Antetokounmpo's opening was very impressive, and the effect was also very good.

The Bucks' bench was in a frenzy, and the substitutes were dancing with their towels flying.

Facing a team like the Nets, they really need such courage!

Even if you are the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, I still have the courage to face you!

Even if you are the Mariana Trench, I am determined to find out!

"Uh-huh!"

But before the towel was put down, Durant faced Snell's defense and hit a goal.

The Bucks' starting configuration is one level worse than that of the Nets, which gives them far less choice than the Nets when it comes to defensive matchups.

In order to save Antetokounmpo on the defensive end, they are using Middleton against Lin Ying and Snell against Durant.

Snell is a weakened version of Jimmy Butler, with good defensive skills, but the size gap is too obvious when facing Durant.

And as shown before the game, Durant's "Fire Fist" has already been released, and it is impossible for him to be soft-hearted.

Looking back, Antetokounmpo continues to hold the ball in the elbow area.

Ariza showed defensive aggression this time. When he received the ball, he defended closely and did not give him any space to start.

Antetokounmpo was forced to lower his head and threaten three times, and then leaned on Ariza to push forward.

He obviously didn't hit this ball as freely as the previous one. Although he forced it to the basket, his final shot missed the basket.

At this time, Jokic had also retracted to the basket and was preparing to grab the board.

But just before he reached out, a long arm passed over his head.

"Snapped!"

Antetokounmpo took the rebound away from Jokic's head like a monkey fishing for the moon!

You can jump, but your hands are long!

Jokic was suppressed by a physical man like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Moreover, Antetokounmpo's rebound speed is also very fast. After grabbing the frontcourt board, he immediately took off twice.

His hands were like two telegraph poles, and he put the basketball directly into the basket without even wiping the board.

Antetokounmpo scored 4 points in the opening game!

Durant is right, he is really brave!

However, Durant, who has said this, is also in an excellent state of offensive desire and game state at the beginning.

On the offensive end, he held the ball against Snell's close defense, and then made a pull-up shot after another triple threat.

When facing a player of Batum's level, Durant will give the opponent some respect and change his direction.

But Snell wasn't worthy yet.

Snell looked at Durant, who was at least half a body taller than him after jumping up, with a helpless expression.

"Uh-huh!"

Durant also scored 4 points in the opening game!

It’s true that you are a supernova, but if you want to become a king, you must first pass his level!

Antetokounmpo holds the ball in the frontcourt again!

For ordinary players, if they play two single balls in a row, and they are both balls with great defensive pressure, they should take a break.

However, Antetokounmpo fully demonstrated his physical abilities and showed no signs of fatigue at all.

Although the technique may be a little rough, it's great if you can't stand it!

Ariza's expression was a bit constipated. After the two rounds of confrontation, he felt uncomfortable all over.

So he adopted a smarter defensive method this time. He stood back in the defensive position, but kept his long arms in front of him, putting pressure on Antetokounmpo to hold the ball.

This trick works.

Antetokounmpo's face-to-face offensive impact is very strong, but his ball-handling is relatively weak.

Antetokounmpo's third threat tried but failed to get a good breakthrough opportunity, and finally returned the ball to Brogdon at the top of the arc.

It can be regarded as letting this guy pass the ball.

Ariza felt relaxed.

But just as he relaxed, the ball suddenly passed back from Brogdon's hands!

And Antetokounmpo's position has moved forward.

The timing of this pass was perfect. Although Brogdon was only a rookie and a second-round pick, he showed excellent immediate combat ability and is a strong contender for this year's Rookie of the Year.

After Antetokounmpo catches the ball, he speeds towards the basket and spreads his wings.

"Bang!"

Smash the ball into the basket with one hand!

He is tall and has long hands. He can already reach the frame in one step after receiving the ball. This kind of help defense has no time to get up.

After dunking, Antetokounmpo arched his arms again, and after that, he still pouted and rushed to the Nets fans at the scene, beating his chest and roaring.

He scored 6 points in a row in the opening game!

On the Bucks' bench, Scott's expression was already beaming with laughter.

After making up for what Antetokounmpo lacked in courage, he is now at the forefront of the new world!

This game will become Antetokounmpo's battle to become famous.

Just like the Thermopylae he said!

Durant continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, but at this moment, he found that his defender had become... Antetokounmpo?

This defensive adjustment was somewhat unexpected, and even Scott on the sidelines did not expect it.

But the smile on Scott's face didn't break.

This is a responsibility.

Against a team like the Nets, offense alone cannot solve the problem. Defense must also keep up.

But Snell couldn't guard Durant at all, so Antetokounmpo stepped up.

At this moment, Antetokounmpo exudes the light of a leader.

Durant used a breakthrough this time.

But Antetokounmpo's body at the fourth position has the flexibility of the third position, and Durant was not able to completely get rid of it.

Durant finally chose to make a pull-up jump shot, but before he could completely escape, Antetokounmpo's long arm covered his eyes.

"Dang!"

Durant's final shot missed the basket!

Although this ball did not include the classic late strike ball like Anthony's, Antetokounmpo's abnormal physical condition was fully exposed in this round.

Since then, there has been one more name on the list that can defend Durant.

And Antetokounmpo's body is really good. He just interfered with Durant's shooting, turned around and picked off the pop-up defensive rebound.

Both offensive and defensive!

The scene was agitated.

Antetokounmpo's talent is visible to the naked eye, and it is also because he stays in a team like the Bucks that his popularity has not been high.

If he had been in New York or Los Angeles, he would have been blown to the sky.

And really speaking, Antetokounmpo is only in the fourth grade!

The last Bucks player who was so crazy was his name: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

"Trevor, let's switch defense."

Lin Ying found Ariza while retreating.

Antetokounmpo's performance is expected.

Others may still have doubts, but for him, a time traveler, it is strange that the letters do not have this performance.

Ariza nodded immediately. He was really fed up with the anxiety of fighting a muscular man.

The Bucks attacked the frontcourt, and the excitement turned into cheers.

Because they saw Lin Ying changing defense to Antetokounmpo!

Originally, the core players would not go against the core players. They just wanted to save more energy for the offensive end.

But from the moment Antetokounmpo switched defense to Durant, the two sides entered a fierce battle early.

Antetokounmpo continues to hold the ball.

He is not only very brave now, he is super brave!

The 6 points he scored in the opening game had already made him red-eyed, so what if Lin Ying defended him!

Three threats, acceleration, breakthrough, and confrontation.

"boom!"

Antetokounmpo felt like he had hit a wall.

He himself was strong enough, but Lin Ying was not affected.

And just when he was ready to adjust.

"Snapped!"

The ball in his hand had been broken off by Lin Ying!

Oh, James will consciously walk around when he sees Lin Ying guarding him. Antetokounmpo is paying tuition for this frontal confrontation.

Lin Ying swatted the ball away, snatched it out, and then quickly moved forward.

Over there, Bradley had already understood it after playing with Lin Ying for a long time, and had already reached the three-point line in advance.

Lin Ying passed a long pass, and Bradley, with hot wheels on his feet, ran to the frontcourt and then made a layup and scored two points.

6 flat!

The scene was instantly filled with cheers.

Antetokounmpo was like a supernova filled with high fighting spirit. He pushed away the "Fire Fist" Durant and came to Lin Huang.

But with just a wave of his hand, he was knocked back again!

Antetokounmpo was also a little confused.

Originally, his biggest advantage was confrontation. A top defender like Ariza had no chance to display his defensive skills in his confrontation.

But Lin Ying was not afraid of his confrontation at all.

And Lin Ying's reaction speed was too scary.

That gave him the feeling that the other person was obviously a head shorter than him, but he seemed to have been shrunk several times, and he could only look up to meet the other person's eyes.

Is this the true strength of Emperor Lin?

He suddenly felt that his confidence had suffered a huge setback.

"Cheer up, Giannis, you are just the beginning. If the emperor of the old era could be knocked down so easily, it would have been defeated long ago!"

Seeing that Antetokounmpo was a little confused, Scott yelled at him from the sidelines.

This moment made Antetokounmpo flash his wits.

Yes, there are four supernovas in the league now, but there is no such thing as the Four Emperors, but only one Emperor Lin!

How could a being who stood on top of the world be defeated so easily?

Yes, this is just the beginning.

Imagine what kind of courage it takes for 300 people to face tens of thousands of people. He needs even more courage!

I have to say, Scott is really good.

With two simple words, Antetokounmpo quickly regained his strength.

"Uh-huh!"

Durant made a mid-range shot after moving without the ball and hit it again!

He has more than one way to score, and compared to attacking with the ball, his offense without the ball is his specialty and his trump card.

"Fire Fist" could not be defeated so easily.

6 to 8!

After Durant's shot, the Nets took the lead!

The mood of basketball fans has also reached a peak from the previous low.

"Defend! Defend!"

Cheers and cheers began to ring out from the scene.

Antetokounmpo, hold the ball again!

He really didn’t believe it!

This time he put some distance between himself and Lin Ying, and he wanted to create more offensive space for himself.

But what he never expected was that the moment he pulled away, Lin Ying suddenly grabbed him!

He can afford to protect the ball.

"Snapped!"

Scored twice!

The crowd cheered loudly.

Your so-called courage is worthless in the face of the gap in strength!

After Lin Ying stole the ball, he directly launched a fast break this time, but Antetokounmpo was immersed in the back and struggled to defend.

After being blocked twice in a row, he had to stop Lin Ying from scoring!

The two of them advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt in the blink of an eye.

When he reached the three-second zone in the frontcourt, he spotted Lin Ying's layup action, jumped hard, and directly covered the entire sky.

But what he didn't expect was that after Lin Ying jumped up, there was a lever adjustment in the air. After fighting against him, he finally moved the basketball from the other side...

"Bang!"

Smashed the ball into the basket with his backhand!

Moreover, he couldn't stop the ball and hit Lin Ying directly.

"beep!"

The referee whistle blows.

"Uh-huh!"

The ball then fell into the basket.

This ball is still a 2+1!

Antetokounmpo bumped into Lin Ying and knocked Lin Ying out, but Lin Ying had good balance in the air, and then the basket took away part of the impact, and landed steadily after letting go.

Instead, Antetokounmpo fell and fell onto his back in the crowd of photographers.

Looking at the chaos under the basket, Lin Ying showed a smile.

Come on, Kira, take off your mask and feed you a sweet SMILE apple.
