Chapter 459 The unpredictable Eastern Conference Finals

“Coach, although the game has only been played for three games, whether it is from the paper lineup or in the game, the Bucks have a clear advantage. If nothing else, the Bucks should advance. "

Wharton looked at Su Tian in front of him and nodded involuntarily after listening to what Su Tian said.

"That's indeed what you said. If that's the case, let's start with the stag as the imaginary enemy."

Later, Su Tian and Wharton discussed some tactical cooperation and tactics for dealing with each other.

In fact, it is relatively simple to face an obvious single-core team like the Bucks, not to mention that Antetokounmpo is still the core of the Bucks' offense and defense.

So whether it's offense or defense, as long as Antetokounmpo is on the court, he cannot be avoided.

So after the two-day break, the Lakers began tactical movement training, most of which were based on tactics deployed by the Bucks.

Time soon came to June 6, and the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals was about to begin.

Before the game started, the Hawks, who were already at a disadvantage, once again received bad news that Trae Young would miss this game due to injury.

In fact, in the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Trae Young accidentally stepped on the referee's foot and suffered an ankle injury, but he still insisted on finishing the game.

Now in the fourth game, he can no longer play.

Just as the game started, the Lakers were watching the game at the same time.

The starting lineup of the Bucks has not changed, it is still the previous starting lineup.

As for the Hawks, because Trae Young was injured, Lou Williams was replaced at point guard. The other positions are still the previous candidates.

Soon the game started, and Lopez took the lead to seize the initiative. Antetokounmpo got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

The Hawks are missing their core players, so the Bucks will naturally relax their vigilance. Even Antetokounmpo has begun to relax involuntarily.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Antetokounmpo held the ball and directly broke through. Not surprisingly, he was double-teamed by the Eagles, so Antetokounmpo quickly passed the ball to Holiday outside the three-point line.

Holiday took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

boom--

But it's a pity that basketball is a blacksmith, but Lopez squeezed Capela away and got stuck in position to collect the rebound.

After Lopez collected the rebound, he quickly passed the ball to Antetokounmpo on the side.

After Antetokounmpo collected the basketball, he immediately exploded towards the basket and shot directly for a layup.

Bang——shua——

The basketball goes directly into the net.

2-0

Although Holiday didn't make a shot, the first goal still belonged to the Bucks.

The ball was transferred, and Lu Wei advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Lu Wei followed the tactics arranged by the coach when he first came up. He first reached out and called his teammates to come forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

Using the pick-and-roll, he drove toward the basket with the ball, but turned around and immediately passed the ball to Bogdan outside the three-point line.

Bogdan took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

2-3

"It seems that the Eagles' three-pointer in this game is pretty good. It seems that this game is worth watching." Su Tian whispered.

The ball returned to the Bucks again, and Holiday advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, Holiday passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

When Antetokounmpo received the ball, facing Huerter's defense, he first called his teammate Lopez to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Antetokounmpo carried the ball and reached the basket, but he was double-teamed by the Eagles before he reached the basket, so Antetokounmpo passed the ball to Middleton again.

Although Middleton was in a two-point long position at this time, he had enough space to shoot, so Middleton did not adjust, but shot directly.

Swah——

Middleton made a solid two-pointer.

4-3

Seeing Antetokounmpo assist Middleton to score, no one had any special emotions, because this is the Bucks' regular tactics and the foundation of the Bucks.

The ball was given to the Eagles again.

This time Lu Wei could no longer suppress his desire to score. After coming to the frontcourt, he directly took the ball to the basket and barely managed a layup in the face of Lopez's defense.

Bang——shua——

I don’t know if it was Lu Wei’s luck or his skill, but the basketball bounced twice on the basket and finally fell into the net.

It has to be said that although Lu Wei does have a high offensive level, Holiday must have slacked off on defense, which gave Lu Wei a chance.

In the next few rounds, the game gradually entered a stalemate stage between the two teams.

Because the Bucks had the score lead and psychological advantage, they were very calm about the stalemate between the two teams and had no intention of raising their vigilance.

The morale of the Eagles is even higher. They were originally at a disadvantage, but now they are still in a stalemate, which has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Soon the game came to the second quarter. The Bucks were still in a relatively relaxed state, and their overall performance was very relaxed.

But it was different here with the Eagles. The whole team held their breath.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Bogdan, Lu Wei, and Gallinari hit three-pointers one after another.

Three-pointers are indeed a powerful tool for chasing points and widening the point difference. Within a few rounds, the point difference was widened to double digits.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Bucks immediately paused to stabilize their morale.

But the feel thing is very mysterious. After the timeout, the Hawks' feel was still online, but it was the Bucks' feel that had problems, and they missed consecutive shots.

In the end, it was only after Giannis Antetokounmpo came on to play two strong games that he stabilized the morale of the army.

It's just that Antetokounmpo came on too late and failed to catch up with the score difference.

At the end of the second quarter, the Eagles led the Bucks by 51 points 38-13.

At this time, not only the fans at the scene were discussing excitedly, but also those in front of the TV and on the Internet.

"Okay, this game is a rematch of the first game! The Eagles are going to win another game!"

"It's just that the hand feels better, and this is a dead end at halftime. It's only a 13-point lead. There is plenty of time to chase points in the second half."

"In terms of hard power, there is no doubt that the Bucks are stronger, but the uncertainty of the Eagles is stronger. This uncertainty means that it may be better or worse! Just like this game, the Eagles It’s just extraordinary performance!”

"Although it's only a 13-point lead, which is really not much, the two teams are in completely different states. It's hard to say whether the Bucks can overtake the score."

There are a lot of discussions on the Internet, and there is inevitably a wave of discussion on the Lakers' side.

George said: "I think it is relatively easy for the Bucks to catch up with the point difference in the second half, as long as they can have an efficient scoring climax."

The thick eyebrow shook his head and said: "I don't think so. In fact, Giannis was in full form in the second half of the second quarter, but the effect of chasing points was still not ideal. This is not a problem of Giannis alone, this is the problem of Xiong. There is a problem with the entire Bucks team, and there is a problem with the defensive attitude of the entire Bucks team."

Wharton watched the discussion between the two core players and smiled without stopping. Instead, he turned to look at Su Tian who was standing aside. "Su, what do you think?"

As soon as Wharton said this, the entire conference room fell into silence. George and Nongmei also wanted to know what Su Tian was thinking.

"Actually, what Anthony said just now is right. The Bucks do have a problem, and it is a problem for the entire team, not Giannis alone. However, if the Bucks want to chase points, I think they should start with defense. , after all, the Hawks have no offensive strengths now, so what they need to do is to do a good job of comprehensive defense and make the best use of Giannis' assisting defense."

Wharton, George and others all nodded in agreement with Su Tian's words.

"It's true. Although Trae Young is not here for the Hawks, it actually lowered the Bucks' vigilance and gave the Hawks hope of winning. I have to say, this also gave us a wake-up call." Walton said.

"In the next games, I hope everyone can take this game as a warning and never follow their old path."

The Chongduo players next to him nodded.

And just as everyone was discussing the game, the discussion in the locker rooms of the two teams was even more intense.

"Our performance was very good in the first half, but we still need to pay attention to a few issues! Louis, you need to pay more attention to the position of your teammates and be sure to share the ball!"

"Everyone else must do a good job of defense! Especially Bogdan! Keep up with the opponent's Middleton! He is the Bucks' second scoring point. Being able to limit him can greatly increase our chances of winning!"

The Eagles' head coach kept emphasizing the key points while holding the tactical board.

At the same time, the Bucks were also seriously discussing the second half of the game.

"Everyone, we have to be vigilant now! We are already 13 points behind! And this is without the opponent's star player! We must use all our energy and attention! We must not give the Eagles any chance !”

"Giannis, you have to ensure the team's offense in the second half. I don't want the scoring drought in the second quarter to happen again!"

Soon, the intermission ended and the third quarter began.

In the third quarter, both sides chose the starting lineup with a tacit understanding.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Eagles, and Lu Wei advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Lu Wei saw that Holiday was very defensive, so he reached out and called his teammates for tactical cooperation.

After a series of passes, the basketball was given to Hert. Heldt held the ball and wanted to break through, but this was a fake move. The next second he passed the ball to Bogdan on the side.

Bogdan made a gesture to shoot directly, which immediately attracted the attention of the Bucks' defense, so Bogdan passed the ball to Lu Wei on the side.

Lu Wei didn't have much time when he received the ball, so he shot a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

It has to be said that Lu Wei had good touch and luck in this game, and the basketball hit directly.

Not only did the score difference not narrow, it actually got wider.

The ball was transferred, Holiday advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo received the ball, faced Huerter, and stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away.

After his teammates were all separated, Antetokounmpo took the ball and went directly to the basket.

Antetokounmpo thought that his breakthrough would attract some defensive double-teams, so that he could break through and score the ball, but he did not expect that only Capela on the inside was squatting at the basket, and no other players came forward to help defend against the double-teams during the breakthrough. .

So after Antetokounmpo came to the basket, and after a confrontation with Capela, he shot for a layup.

boom--

drop--

The basketball shot failed, but the referee blew the whistle and Antetokounmpo stood on the free throw line.

Antetokounmpo's free throw shooting percentage is not high. After taking aim slowly, he shoots.

boom--

The first penalty is blacksmithing.

For the second free throw, Zither deliberately aimed a little longer and took another shot.

boom--

Basketball is still forged.

At this time, Capela had already secured his position and jumped up to collect the rebound.

The moment he collected the rebound, Capela immediately turned around to look for his teammates and quickly passed the ball to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei received the pass and turned directly to initiate a fast break.

Lu Wei was very fast, but Holiday was only half a beat too slow to react and could no longer catch up with Lu Wei, so Lu Wei made a layup.

In several consecutive rounds, the Eagles successfully scored, but the Bucks lost consecutively. The Eagles fans at the scene couldn't help but burst into cheers.

But the cheers fell silent not long after they started, because the Bucks started to really exert their strength.

Antetokounmpo began to play the core role on both offense and defense without any effort, not only ensuring the team's offense, but also ensuring the team's defensive efficiency.

As a result, the score difference began to gradually loosen.

Just when everyone thought the Bucks were about to catch up, something unexpected happened again.

The Hawks suddenly and inexplicably ushered in a wave of three-pointers. Lu Wei, Bogdan, Gallinari, and Huerter all made three-pointers.

A wave of three-point rain directly extinguished the morale that the Bucks had finally regained.

Moreover, there is not much time left in the third quarter at this time. If the Bucks want to organize an effective point pursuit, they can only wait for the fourth quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Eagles led the Bucks by 87 points 62-25.

At this time, the fans at the scene looked at the score difference on the field and all shouted excitedly.

On the Lakers side, everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Well, the Eagles do feel good and dare to take shots. They are lucky in this game." George said.

"This is really unexpected. To score three consecutive points like that is not just a matter of ability. It can only be said that I am really lucky." said thick eyebrows.

"The Eagles are indeed lucky, but the Bucks gave them half a game to develop their skills, so the Bucks cannot shirk their responsibility," Su Tian said.

At this time, the game entered the intermission, but the Bucks fans had lost hope.

Soon the fourth quarter began.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bucks still chose to use the entire starting lineup, trying to chase points.

However, after several consecutive rounds, it was found that the effect was not good, so he could only replace the main players, take all the benches, and surrender directly.

The Eagles were relieved to see this, and they took down the entire starting lineup and replaced them on the bench.

At the end of the game, the Eagles defeated the Bucks 110-88, and the score was tied at 2-2. (End of chapter)
