Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 541 22 Three Pointers
On May 5, the fifth game between the Bucks and the Cavaliers.

"Because the Bucks defeated the Cavaliers for the first time in the last game and broke the opponent's undefeated golden stature, this game has attracted the attention of fans all over the world before the game."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but marvel at the crowd of reporters gathered around the stadium. With such a scale of attention and attitude, he probably won't lose to the finals.

The game started, and the two teams went directly to the theme.

Yao Ming singled Gasol on the inside, turned around and made a fake shot and scored a layup.

"Why does everyone now admit that Yao Ming is the number one center in the league? Look at his technique for scoring a goal just now, is it exactly the same as Nowitzki's fake shot and changed to a layup?
This is Yao Ming, and his offensive skills are top-notch even in the entire history of the NBA! "

Speaking of this, Kenny Smith still has some compliments after the fact. Yao Ming basically played for about 35 minutes in the Mosaic team and was panting and exhausted. But in the Bucks, he has averaged more than 40 minutes per game and is still alive and well. !

"This is the benefit of Zhao Hao suggesting that Yao Ming lose weight during the off-season!"

Yao Ming hit all the first four shots, which also made Mike Brown pacing back and forth on the court flustered.

Double-team Yao Ming?So what if the Bucks' shooters are opened up again?
Don't double-team Yao Ming?Gasol is almost blown off the court!
Mike Brown, who has difficulty choosing, has never made a decision, but James and Billups on the court have already made a decision together.

Yao Ming was double-teamed by James, and Billups participated in the supplementary defense. Korver, who was defending Zhao Hao, could not evacuate the defense no matter what.

As for Desmond Mason on James' defense
"The Bucks' Desmond Mason only made 31% of his three-pointers in the playoffs. Since Roy Ivey started to threaten outside the three-point line, he is the most inaccurate outside Bucks. !
The response of the Cavaliers on the court was very timely! "

Pippen sighed and continued: "The Bucks did make too many mistakes during the off-season.

There are a bunch of players in the team who don't adapt to their tactical system. Even if they solve one or two problems, new problems will emerge. "

Jordan nodded, which is why he said at the start of the series that the Cavaliers would still win the Eastern Conference Finals.

on the field.

Yao Ming double-teamed the ball to Desmond Mason, who also knew how bad his three-pointer was and quickly returned the ball to Zhao Hao.

It's just that the Cavaliers' defense was immediately in place.

"The opportunity is fleeting, and the Bucks are still a little worse than the Cavaliers."

Barkley sighed, and seemed to have seen the end of the game for the Bucks.

Reggie Miller stared at Zhao Hao on the court.

The Cavaliers, who are back on defense, have no time to double-team Zhao Hao at this time, and ask Korver to single-handedly defend Zhao Hao, who even Billups and James can't solve?
"court death!"

Facing Korver's defense, Zhao Hao easily reached the basket with one stride.

Gasol still wanted to come to defend, Zhao Hao took off from the free throw line with one step, opened his right hand and dunked the tomahawk with the full bow!
boom! ! !
The sound of the dunk was explosive, the referee blew his whistle at the same time, and Gasol made a defensive foul.

"Zhao Hao started to exert strength in the first quarter!"

Kenny Smith, who has watched Zhao Hao countless games, is naturally familiar with Zhao Hao's playing style.

If Yao Ming wasn't double-teamed, it was natural that the opponent was tough on Gasol in singles, and once Yao Ming started to be double-teamed, in order to cover up the weakness of the Bucks' role players, Zhao Hao would definitely start to exert himself!
The groom Albert, who had already been conquered by Zhao Hao, shook his head and said: "Zhao Hao started to exert his strength so early, which is not a good thing for the Cavaliers!"

The first quarter ended quickly. At 30:30, the Bucks even drew with the Cavaliers in the first quarter!
It's just that the price was Zhao Hao's full effort in the first quarter.

Cole frowned and said, "Your physical strength is not bad, do you want to take a rest?"

In this round of playoffs, Zhao Hao's playing time has long exceeded the standard and ranked first among all players in the playoffs, averaging nearly 44 minutes per game!

This means that he can only rest for 4 minutes per game.

Zhao Hao shook his head and refused, saying: "There is still a long time to rest, and I can't rest no matter what at this time!"

The second game.

James began to lead the team on the court, and this is also the time when Zhao Hao started to lead the team.

The Cavaliers attacked first.

Facing the Bucks without Yao Ming inside, James strode straight to the basket, and facing Yi Jianlian's defense was a shoulder-length snap.

"Never double-team James, this is a tactic that any team is certain of!
If you have the ability, you will break through and beat us to death, but you will not be allowed to revitalize your teammates! "

And any team in the league is completely opposite to James when facing Zhao Hao's defense.

"Double-team! Double-team!

If two don't work, then three, if three don't work, then four!If you can't do all four, get all of them!If it doesn't work, the coach will have to interfere with him by talking trash on the sidelines!

Even if you let Zhao Hao's teammates shoot me to death, I can't let you kill me! "

All the scenes in the second quarter of the game are contrary to the playing habits of James and Zhao Hao.

James began to frequently go to the basket to score points for the team, while Zhao Hao sent too many three-pointers to Roy Ivey, Villanueva and Yi Jianlian by relying on sudden points and quick points after double-teaming. The opportunity to split the ball and make a mobile phone.

"Another record night!

The Bucks shot 20 crazy three-pointers in a single quarter, and hit 9 of them! "

Reggie Miller thumped the table excitedly and said: "The Bucks tied with the Cavaliers again at 62:62!"

During the intermission, James sat on the bench panting, and threw the towel handed over by the staff on the ground in displeasure.

He made 14 crazy shots in a single quarter, and hit 8 of them. He also caused a lot of fouls inside the Bucks. He made 8 of 5 free throws. He scored 21 points in a single quarter alone!
If the opponents in the past encountered such a crazy attack from him, they would have been beaten to the ground and surrendered, but the Bucks were not!
The Bucks just relied on crazy three-pointers to carry it down!
"There is no team in the league that shoots three-pointers like them, even the Suns are not so crazy!"

The key is that the Bucks' defense is okay!

The three armies used their lives, and each of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. Even James was dragged down several times by the rookie inside the Bucks.

"He always said in a Lafite manner, I really don't know how such a big brat loves to drink so much!"

Second half of the game.

Yao Ming took the initiative to give Zhao Hao a chance to breathe and began to exert force inside.

Since the last game, Gasol has had enough of defending Yao Ming in the interior, and Yao Ming seems to have found a strategy to defeat his defense, and the frequent one-on-one attacks succeeded.

And now Yao's name gives Gasol the feeling that he was lucky enough to meet Olajuwon in the last season of his career in the 01-02 season.

Although the big dream Olajuwon was 38 years old at that time, he was still able to beat Gasol so hard that he couldn't find the southeast and northwest with his dream footsteps.

"Yao Ming singled Gasol under the basket again!

In this year's playoffs, Yao Ming first brutally abused the league's rising star center Howard, and then hammered the top blue-collar Perkins completely without temper.

Now even Gasol, who claims to be able to snatch the league's No. [-] center from Yao Ming, is no longer his opponent!

This season's Yao Ming is the league's well-deserved No. [-] center! "

Mike Brown off the court has not yet figured out what to do with Yao Ming, and James and Billups on the court are also helpless now.

Instead, the head coach of the Bucks Cole seemed to have discovered Desmond Mason's problem, so at this time he replaced Bobby Simmons, a small forward who is more accurate in three-pointers!
"Desmond Mason is the only small forward on the Bucks who can match up with James physically, but judging from his performance in the second quarter, whoever defends in front of James is a show.

So Cole boldly gave Bobby Simmons, who has a better three-point shooting, more opportunities!
Do the Cavaliers on the field dare to double-team Yao Ming so recklessly? "

Kenny Smith would like to say that despite the fact that the Bucks reached the current Eastern Conference finals this season relying on the dual-core performance of Zhao Hao and Yao Ming, Coach Kerr definitely played an indispensable role in it.

"Substitutions are timely, trust the players, and the tactics are thoroughly targeted! This is Cole."

In the third quarter of the game, the Bucks led the Cavaliers 88:84 relying on Yao Ming's inside blast hammer.

And Gasol was beaten by Yao Ming for four offenses and ended early.

Game four.

Billups stepped up to take over the game, and made consecutive three-pointers and breakthroughs to pull back the score abruptly.

"Tonight's game is definitely the best playoff game of Billups' career. He has scored 30 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists so far!"

As soon as groom Albert finished speaking, Zhao Hao took the initiative to switch defenses with his teammates and started targeting Billups.

And the next scene is that Billups, the team's brain, is in a fight. Facing the taller Zhao Hao and the opponent's sharp defense, Billups doesn't even have a chance to shoot.

James immediately took Billups' possession and continued to increase his firepower.

"The Cavaliers are determined to end the series tonight!"

Zhao Hao raised his hand to ask for the ball, and the Bucks players pulled away tacitly.

"My mother! This pretender!"

Feeling that he is not as good at acting as Zhao Hao, Jordan has already stood up from the first row of auditorium in a panic. He can't wait to rush to the court to punch and kick Zhao Hao.

You have to be prepared to be beaten if you pretend to be aggressive in front of Mr. Qiao, who has my own stereo!

Pippen held Jordan dumbfounded, and quickly motioned him to sit down.

"He may not be successful in singles, and it's not him who is ashamed that the ball didn't go in."

Before Pippen finished speaking, Zhao Hao made a three-pointer against the defense of Korver and Billups!
Pippen took a look at the three-pointer, which can be called a silencer on the spot, and the shocked expressions of the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena. He said naturally: "The three-pointer is the most murderous!"

Needless to say, even Jordan thinks so, he hit a three-pointer, whoa, this scene is indeed murderous!
The key is that after Zhao Hao made a three-pointer, he still acted arrogant and domineering on the field, pointing to the sky with his left hand and pointing to the field under his feet with his right hand.

"My motherfucker! How the fuck can I pretend!" Jordan was about to cry.

The Cavaliers, who have already experienced countless comeback nights with Zhao Hao, all the members from the coaching staff to the players are very sure that Zhao Hao must be double-teamed infinitely.

Double teams are not enough!
In this way, it gave the Bucks role players time to start showing off.

"fire!"

Yi Jianlian took the lead in setting off the Bucks' three-point bombing, followed by Villanueva, and Roy Evil scored two goals in a row.

In order for the Cavaliers to frantically pounce to defend against the Bucks' outside bombing, even Yao Ming got an open shot inside.

Yao Ming was dumbfounded on the spot.

"I didn't even enjoy this kind of offensive treatment in my rookie season!"

Kenny Smith shook his head, "The Bucks' offensive rotation has come out!
When their five-death lineup on the field starts to hit three-pointers, it means that the opponent is bound to suffer a defeat. "

Jordan sighed and said: "120:110! The Cavaliers lost to the Bucks by more points than the last game!

Since the Bucks won the top five in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers have been completely powerless. "

Pippen nodded in agreement.

In this game, the Bucks performed even better than in the previous game, with six players scoring in double figures!
Kenny Smith meanwhile made an even more dire announcement.

"In this Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks hit a full 22 three-pointers! The previous record of 16 three-pointers in a single game in the Eastern Conference Finals has been improved by as much as 6!"
