Chapter 1060 Strength gap, winning two games in a row

"The point difference is approaching 20 points."

"Yes, there is still a huge gap in strength."

The fans in the auditorium were whispering, and some Bucks fans felt very depressed. The Bucks did not play badly today, especially Antetokounmpo, who played very well, but the result is still the same.

This is the power gap.

The first half is over, the score is 69:50, and the Heat lead by as many as 19 points.

In this quarter, the Heat scored 38 points. Such a score is already very high, especially in the playoffs, the main thing is the previous "defensive counterattack". The effect of the Bucks is much worse than that of the Heat.

After a "defensive counterattack", the Bucks also lost.

Coach Joe Pratti frowned, thinking hard, but couldn't find a solution to the problem. It is true that there is a big gap in strength, unless there is a problem with the Heat team, the Heat team is not performing properly, and I am performing supernormally. Only in this way can it be possible to defeat the opponent.

But obviously the Heat played very well today.

He looked at the Bucks players in the locker room, and sighed silently: "The strongest point on our side is Giannis, and he played really well today, and he scored 25 at the end of the first half." points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, but the opponent also has Meng Yun."

Antetokounmpo played very well today. He scored 25 points in the half. Not surprisingly, after the whole game, it was probably a 30+ double-double. But Meng Yun also played very well. He has scored 20 points now. Points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, slightly inferior to Antetokounmpo in scoring, but the effect on the court must not be measured by pure statistics, especially Meng Yun's control of the rhythm of the game, which is far from Above Antetokounmpo.

"We still have to start with Meng Yun." Coach Joe Prati smiled wryly, and went around, and finally he could only start from this point, but this point is not so easy to restrict, otherwise he would have done so early in the morning Yes, it still takes half a day to go around there.

It is too difficult to guard against Meng Yun.

It's just that now that the point difference is approaching 20 points, the situation is already obvious. It is difficult for the Bucks to win in a normal fight, and they can only gamble.

"beep"

The second half begins quickly.

There have been some changes to the lineups on both sides. The Bucks have John Henson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Mirotic, Khris Middleton, and Eric Bradley. Ledsoe, replaced Snell, who had previously started, with Mirotic.

The Heat did not use Whiteside, but the inside combination of Xianglong + Monroe.

At the beginning of the second half, Meng Yun found that the Bucks had changed their defensive strategy again. They began to target themselves, double-teaming non-stop, and double-teaming as long as they got the ball.

This kind of double-teaming even has some gambling nature, even if it misses the rest of the Heat team, they don't care, and they want to stare at Meng Yun.

Meng Yun didn't force it either. Now that his side was leading by nearly [-] points, he didn't need to score. On the contrary, the opponent was a little impatient.

Since the opponent sold such a big flaw, he has no reason not to take advantage of it, and he believes that his teammates will not let him down.

Indeed, when Meng Yun was double-teamed, other Heat players did not disappoint him and stepped up to score, especially Xiang Long and Green. Seeing the opponent double-team Meng Yun, he knew how to move, and he could always get to the best position.

Green made two consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line, both from the right corner, which made the Bucks feel ashamed, because after a few minutes, the point difference did not narrow, but expanded further.

"beep"

The Bucks again requested a timeout.

The players came to the sidelines, their heads drooping, their faces full of frustration.

Such a gap is unacceptable for them. They are more than 20 points behind. This is the playoffs. I and others are also playing hard, but why is this happening?

"Whoa, whoa"

Antetokounmpo clenched his fists and wanted to roar in depression. He couldn't help it, and punched the chair next to him, almost smashing the chair.

Today he played very well and was very tired. He tried his best and scored 33 points, plus 10 rebounds and 4 assists, but the team fell behind by more than 20 points.

what is this?
Is there really no way to beat the Heat?

Seeing the frustration of his players, coach Joe Pratti clapped his hands to cheer everyone up, but he also knew that there was no suspense in this game.

With a score difference of more than 20 points, there is only one quarter left in the game.

There is still a little time left in the third quarter. If the bench lineup can be used, but the gap between the Bucks' bench lineup and the Heat is even greater, expect them to chase points?

That's not realistic.

The fact is indeed the case, even if the Heat lead by more than [-] points and put on a pure substitute lineup, the Bucks still failed to narrow the point difference to less than [-] points.

Entering the fourth quarter with a [-]-point difference, there is no hope for the Bucks to comeback.

When the game ended, with a score of 132:117, the Heat defeated the Bucks by 15 points and won the first victory of the series.

Antetokounmpo scored 39 points, plus 12 rebounds and 4 assists, but it turned out to be nothing.

For the Heat, Meng Yun scored 33 points, plus 11 assists and 7 rebounds. Xiang Long scored 15 points, Monroe 11 points, Whiteside 10 points, 10 rebounds, and Lu Wei 19 points. No one outside the cloud scored 20 points, but their strong overall strength was fully revealed.

After the game, fans discussed the performance of the two stars Antetokounmpo and Meng Yun, while some sports practitioners discussed the strength gap between the two sides.

The strength gap is indeed not small.

A day later, the second game of the series between the Heat and the Bucks started.

The Heat also won this game, without much suspense.

Meng Yun scored 29 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds in a quasi-triple-double, while Lu Wei broke out, making 7 of 5 three-pointers and scoring 26 points.Although the Bucks Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and 10 rebounds, Middleton also scored 28 points, but the other players of the Bucks did not perform well and still lost the game.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Bucks 121:109 and won two consecutive victories at home. They also rewritten the big score of this series to 2:0, firmly controlling the initiative.
