Chapter 375 Fighting against the Bucks, the growing Antetokounmpo

Although Antetokounmpo's layup was not scored, he successfully caused McGee's defensive foul and went to the free throw line.

Antetokounmpo's free throw was a bit anxious, and he took a long time to adjust before taking the shot.

boom--

Swah——

One of two free throws.

The ball returned to the Lakers again. Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

When Su Tian got the ball, he still faced Middleton's defense.

In the last round, Middleton was passed by Su Tian. Although the coach didn't say anything, Middleton himself was very unhappy and vowed to regain some face in this round.

So Middleton concentrated more on trying to block Su Tian's attack.

But this time Su Tian directly called McGee to step forward to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Su Tian broke through directly, but unexpectedly attracted a double-team from Lopez and Middleton.

So Su Tian directly threw the ball to the basket.

McGee then turned around and grabbed the basketball, slamming it into the basket.

"Beautiful! Alley-oop cooperation from Su and McGee!!"

According to Su Tian's passing ability, if the Bucks want to use double teams to solve the problem, it will be difficult to achieve it.

The ball was once again given to the Bucks, and Antetokounmpo advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Just like in the previous round, after his teammates all pulled away, Antetokounmpo broke through the thick eyebrow defense with the ball.

However, this time the thick eyebrows were well prepared. Antetokounmpo failed to break through and could only rely on his physical strength to hit the basket hard.

The thick eyebrow was hitting the letter's back while reaching out to try to interfere with the letter's dribbling.

But the effect is not good.

Just as the two of them were getting closer to the basket, Su Tian suddenly appeared from the side and snatched the ball away from Xie Xie's hand!
Because he is too tall, his center of gravity when dribbling is also high, and his dribbling skills are relatively average, Su Tian easily intercepted him.

After successfully stealing the ball, Su Tian turned around directly with the ball and played a counterattack fast break.

Su Tian's speed was so fast that the Bucks' defenders couldn't catch up. Zi Zi wanted to catch up, but his reaction was half a beat too slow. By the time Zi Zi reacted, Su Tian had already rushed out of the three-point line. .

When Su Tian carried the ball all the way to the front basket, there was no one around him, so Su Tian dunked with both hands.

In the first few rounds, the two sides fought fiercely, and every one of them was a wonderful moment.

However, in the next few rounds, the two sides began to gradually become normal, and the overall strength gap between the two teams began to be reflected.

For the Bucks, all tactics basically revolve around letters. Without letters, half of the Bucks will be completely useless.

The Lakers have a lineup of the Big Three, and they are not afraid of missing lineups at all.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 34-26, and the Lakers temporarily led by 8 points.

In fact, this score is already very good for the Bucks, because whether it is compared to the top combat power, mid-range combat power, or overall combat power, the Bucks are not as good as the Lakers. It is normal to be able to play such a game.

But obviously Antetokounmpo is not satisfied with the status quo. Antetokounmpo has a big heart.

In the second quarter, both sides played again after substitutions and adjustments.

Naturally, there are replacements on the Lakers side, and Su Tian can rest peacefully off the court, but if the Bucks want to chase points or even defeat the Lakers, they can only continue to play on their own.

Fortunately, Brunson, Nongmei and others could still cope with it, and the score difference did not change too much.

Halfway through the second quarter, with the score difference still 5 points, Su Tian came on the court again.

Su Tian came on the court, but the Bucks had to go down and rest for a while, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the second half.

Taking advantage of the absence of Xi Jinping, Su Tian organized the team to launch multiple attacks, hoping to take the opportunity to open up the score.

But Su Tian didn't expect someone on the Bucks' bench to explode.

George Hill made 5 of 5 three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter and scored 15 points. Not only did Su Tian's idea fail, but he also tied the score before the whistle blew at the end of the second quarter. .

At halftime, the score was tied at 60-60.

Su Tian also shook his head helplessly when he came off the stage. This kind of explosive situation is still rare, but once it happens, it will be very troublesome.

In the past few years since Su Tian entered the league, he has only encountered this situation three times. By the way, the first two times were with the same person, a substitute player named Shelvin Mark.

During the halftime break, Walton also had to emphasize his defense against George Hill.

Finally, Walton said: "Su, let's take a look at the second half. If it doesn't work, I'll just defend you."

Su Tian nodded in agreement.

Originally, Su Tian was responsible for defending the Bucks' No. [-] player, Middleton.

But now that there is an anomaly like George Hill, Su Tianduo can only share the burden and deal with this guy.

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

After comprehensive consideration, the Bucks made substitution adjustments and put Hill into the starting lineup and placed him at the No. [-] position.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Bucks. Hill came to the frontcourt with the ball, but instead of attacking himself, he passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo got the ball, called Lopez to step forward to pick and roll, and used the pick and roll to break through. As expected, he was double-teamed by McGee and Big Eyebrow.

So Alphabet followed the usual tactical drill and passed the ball to Lopez who was left open.

Lopez caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Lopez has a three-point ability, which was verified when he was with the Lakers, but now his three-point ability is even stronger.

Swah——

Lopez hit a three-pointer directly.

Seeing Lopez hit a three-pointer, Antetokounmpo also stepped forward to celebrate with a high-five.

The ball is switched, and it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian. Su Tian got the ball and broke through the defense directly.

Then he made an emergency stop and took a jump shot.

Swah——

Su Tian knew that efficiency must be the priority at this time.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, and the points difference also alternated.

Fortunately, George Hill became normal and did not explode again.

Halfway through the third quarter, Su Tian came off the court to rest, while Nong Mei and Brunson stayed on the court to lead the team. At this time, the Lakers still had some leads.

But just after Su Tian left the field, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Antetokounmpo suddenly broke out, and his thick eyebrows suddenly couldn't be held back.

After a wave of outbursts, the Bucks successfully overtook the score and led the Lakers by 6 points. Walton called a timeout.

"Coach, the Bucks' explosion is so abnormal, let me go up." Su Tian looked at Walton and said.

Wharton was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Su Tian's firm eyes and tone, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

So, after the timeout, Su Tian came on the court again. At this time, there was only about 1 minute left before the end of the third quarter, and Su Tian had few opportunities to play.

As soon as Su Tian came on the court, he directly advanced with the ball. When he came to the frontcourt, he saw the right moment and shot a three-pointer with a lateral step.

Swah——

"Beautiful! Fortunately, there is Su." Wharton said silently in his heart.The Bucks attacked again, Antetokounmpo got the ball, and the three threats tested the thick eyebrows, followed by an explosion to the left.

The thick eyebrow quickly turned around and chased after him. Because Xie's three-point shooting was poor, he generally did not play technical moves such as retreating three-pointers, so the thick eyebrow turned around and pursued decisively.

But unexpectedly, although Antetokounmpo did not retreat for a three-pointer, he changed direction again after retreating and rushed to the right.

At this time, there was no obstacle in front of the letter. He rushed all the way to the basket and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.

The fans at the scene also cheered for the whole audience because of this dunk of Alphabet.

"Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!"

At this time, there was not much time left for the Lakers to attack. Su Tian urged his teammates to serve quickly.

After serving, Su Tian caught the ball and turned around and sprinted directly.

The Bucks were still immersed in Alphabet's dunks at this time, and few people reacted.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

By the time the Bucks discovered it, it was already too late. Su Tian hurriedly shot a three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line in the frontcourt before the timer ended.

boom--

drop--

Swah——

When the basketball hit the backboard, the timer just ran out, and the next second the basketball entered the basket.

"Great job!" Walton shouted from the sideline, pumping his fist.

At the end of the third quarter, both sides entered the inter-section break.

"Although Su scored a three-pointer before the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were still lagging behind in terms of points." Barkley said while looking at the technical statistics.

"Yes, judging from the statistics, after Su Tian came on the court, he hit two three-pointers in a row, but the Lakers were still 2 points behind." Kenny Smith said.

"But the fans are in for a treat this time. It's been a long time since we've seen Su's full strength in the fourth quarter. I hope he can show some style this time!"

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the Bucks. To be honest, as a fan, it doesn't matter if your favorite team loses a game, but it is really rare to see the full strength of Su."

At this time, on the benches on both sides, the two coaches were also making arrangements and tactics for the last quarter.

"Su, to be honest, the team still depends on your performance, so give it your best!" Wharton looked at Su Tian with bright eyes.

At the same time, the teammates around Su Tian were also looking at Su Tian curiously.

Su Tian smiled and nodded.

Walton and these players were obviously influenced by the media and believed that Su Tian would not be at full strength until the critical moment. In fact, it was not that Su Tian did not want to win, but that this kind of state could only be achieved in the final quarter.

Soon, the intermission ended and the fourth quarter began.

For the Lakers, Su Tian led the substitute lineup. Because Brunson and others played a lot of time and needed to rest, and Caruso suffered from the cold, this lineup is also unusual.

Payton Jr., Su Tian, ​​Dun Luo, Kuzma, Boucher.

Although Payton Jr. is placed in the No. [-] position, he is only allowed to dribble for half the court at most, and he will not really be allowed to play the No. [-] position.

The first possession of the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Payton Jr. came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and faced DiVincenzo's defense. He first tried a three-threat test, and then broke out directly to complete the breakthrough.

After completing the breakthrough, someone from the Bucks immediately stepped forward to double-team and help defend.

Before the double team was about to form, Su Tian made continuous cross dribbles, then turned around and dribbled, and rushed to the basket with the ball.

Just when someone on the Bucks side continued to step forward to double-team, Su Tian suddenly stopped and shot directly.

Swah——

The basketball hits steadily.

"Very good. It seems that Su is in good condition. He hit a shot as soon as he came on the court and tied the score. Let's see how the Bucks respond." Barkley said.

"Now I hope the Bucks can hold on for a while longer so that I can see more of Su Tian's performance."

The ball was transferred and the Bucks organized the offense.

For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo was still resting off the court and could not play, but after Su Tian's shot just now, Antetokounmpo automatically walked to the technical stage.

It seems that he is ready to go directly when the ball is dead for a while.

The Bucks, who don't have letters, are indeed not that strong on the offensive end. They successfully defended it with the efforts of the entire Lakers team.

After the defense was successful, Su Tian held the ball and wanted to counterattack directly, but was stopped by DiVincenzo's quick eyes and quick hands for a foul.

The referee blew the whistle, the fast break failed, and the Lakers could only serve again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Antetokounmpo also played again.

After taking the field, Zixie has been staring at Su Tian closely. Even if the two are not in a match-up relationship, Zixie still pays attention to Su Tian's position.

At this time, the Lakers served again. Su Tian received the ball and came to the frontcourt. Facing the defense, he still tested it first.

After his teammates all pulled away, Su Tian broke through directly, relying on his speed advantage, strength advantage, technical advantage, etc. to easily complete the breakthrough.

Just as Su Tian completed his breakthrough, Antetokounmpo couldn't wait to catch up and help defend against double teams.

So Su Tian saw the right opportunity and passed the ball to Kuzma who was left open outside the three-point line.

Kuzma received the ball without hesitation and shot a three-pointer directly.

Kuzma is also a veteran player who has worked with Su Tian for a long time. He knows Su Tian's passing very well and even trusts him more than Su Tian.

Swah——

With Kuzma's strong self-confidence, he hit a three-pointer directly.

With two offenses and one defense, the Lakers directly overtook the Bucks by 3 points.

The ball returned to the Bucks again, and Antetokounmpo took the ball to the frontcourt and faced Kuzma's defense.

To be honest, it is still difficult for Kuzma to defend Antetokounmpo, but there is no way, this is already the second person in the lineup suitable to defend Antetokounmpo.

If George is not absent, this should be George's task.

After facing Kuzma's defense, Antetokounmpo briefly tested it, and then immediately broke out and sprinted to break through.

Kuzma did not follow up immediately and could only turn around to pursue. At this time, Boucher on the inside was already ready to double-team.

But unexpectedly, after seeing Boucher's double-team, Antetokounmpo still held the basketball and rushed to the basket without hesitation.

Boucher gritted his teeth and pushed forward.

boom--

I saw Antetokounmpo grabbing the basket and hanging on it, while Boucher had been knocked to the ground by Antetokounmpo.

"Oh my God! Giannis made a great dunk!!"

"Oh my God, Boucher was knocked to the ground by Giannis! I hope others are okay!"

"The Bucks will win! Defeat the Lakers!"

After Antetokounmpo landed, he bent his arms, looked around, and roared.

"what!!!"
