Chapter 320 Adversity
Things on the basketball court are unpredictable. The first minute is smooth, and the next minute may change.
McGee's occasional outbursts helped the Lakers stabilize the situation, but they didn't last long. As soon as he was targeted, he lost his magical power.On the other hand, the Bucks, Antetokounmpo broke through the Lakers' defense and successfully helped their outside partners gain offensive space.
Middleton is 201 cm tall and weighs 98 kg. He was the 2012th overall pick in 39. He originally played for the Detroit Pistons.After a tepid rookie season, he came to the Bucks in a deal in the summer of 13.He grew up quietly beside Brother Antetokounmpo.
The advent of the small ball era gave this player with superb shooting skills an unexpected opportunity.
Antetokounmpo broke through to attract double-teams, turned around and found Middleton who was standing 45 degrees on the left, and completed a standard breakthrough.
Middleton is a big-hearted shooter, ignoring Nick Young who is interfering in front of him, he pulls up and shoots directly.
The basketball hits the net and ignites the Bradley Center.
Lakers 92-97 Bucks!
Xu Tian applied to play 2 minutes ago, but was flatly rejected by Scott.This is what Scott did on purpose and has nothing to do with the players' desire to win.
Antetokounmpo and Middleton clapped hands, then quickly separated, and immediately retreated.
Clarkson was careless when crossing the ball and was directly intercepted by Mayo.
Mayo passed the ball to the frontcourt and found Antetokounmpo who was about to play.
Antetokounmpo turned his head and glanced at the Lakers bench, full of provocation, and dunked vigorously with his right arm.
92-99, 3 minutes and 21 seconds of the fourth quarter!
Xu Tian no longer applied to play, but passed the head coach and called the referee for a timeout.
Scott didn't dare to go too far, stood up and asked Xu Tian: "Xu, why is it called a timeout?"
"I'm a player, I can't just watch and let the victory go!"
Scott immediately began to preach: "Guys! Xu's words are the attitude I want. We are in a long winning streak, and some people have slack attitudes. This state cannot compete for the championship. We must always maintain the attitude of victory." Desire, it is possible to reach the summit in the cruel summer."
McGee understood half of it, and looked at Scott blankly, not knowing the meaning of what he said.
Kobe, George and Xu Tian replaced Nick Young, Warren and Clarkson, almost the entire main lineup, and fought against the Bucks in the last few minutes.
Kidd took Mengba as the captain when he was young, and he was also very inspiring: "Boys, the Lakers players don't take us seriously! You must fight back, let their proud heads bow down, and let them remember the meaning Let them lie down and leave Bradley Center!"
The Bucks players didn't speak, but looked at the head coach Kidd in the center with determination in his eyes.
"You are one of the best basketball players in the world, and you will never be worse than them. Go to the game and help yourself win this victory!" Kidd gave another dose of encouragement through words.
The Bucks are in the lead, and their morale has reached its peak. In the words of basketball commentary, the momentum has reached their side.
Thackeray replaced Nance Jr., who played for 32 minutes, and played in the fourth position on the field, serving from the backcourt sideline.
Xu Tian received the serve, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt at a slow speed, looked at the beating attack timer at the top of the arc, and looked for open teammates.
The Bucks are united and their defense is flawless.
Brother Antetokounmpo is not good at it, but he still tried to talk trash: "Xu, stop looking for teammates, and do it yourself if you have the guts!"
Xu Tian's body hasn't warmed up. Although he can dribble the ball, his speed and movement are still a bit inconsistent, far inferior to Antetokounmpo who is fully active and bursting with adrenaline.
Brother Antetokounmpo couldn't stop Xu Tian at first, but now he saw a little hope, his fighting spirit became more high-spirited, and he fought against the blockade with high intensity.
The fans at the Bradley Center shouted "defense" in unison, and the exciting Bucks players were like fighters in the ancient Roman Colosseum, defending with desperate spirit.
Xu Tianhou stepped back to get rid of Brother Antetokounmpo, and with the help of a small space, forced a shot at the buzzer.
The basketball spun and hit the back edge of the rim.
The god of luck never favors those who slack off.
Miles Plumlee stuck McGee behind him, tried not to bounce hard, and took the defensive rebound firmly.
Antetokounmpo received the pass, ignored physical fatigue, and accelerated to the frontcourt with all his strength.Antetokounmpo who rushed up was almost unstoppable.
The three outside generals of the Lakers all shrunk their defense and double-teamed Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo took advantage of his height, raised his hands high to avoid Xu Tian's steal attempt, and passed the ball back to Middleton at the top of the arc again.
Middleton faced Xu Tian, who was coming to defend him, and fired directly from outside the three-point line without any pause during the period.
Xu Tian was still limited by his lack of physical activity, so he couldn't stop his figure and touched Middleton's cylinder.
The basketball jumped on the hoop for a long time, and was inspired by fate, and slowly fell into the net.
The referee blew the whistle and Xu Tian was fouled by the thug, the three-pointer was valid, and there was an additional penalty!
The fans in the Bradley Center were completely overwhelmed. They didn't know who started it, and they shouted neatly, "Zijin nobles, stumbled."
Xu Tian was very annoyed that he didn't limit the speed of Antetokounmpo, put his hands on his knees, and watched Middleton make a free throw from the top of the arc.
Middleton's mentality was stable, he took a deep breath to calm down, and made steady shots and added penalties.
92-103, 2 minutes and 49 seconds!
After Xu Tian received the serve, the Bradley Center shouted the slogan "Beat LA", expressing their inner support through words.
Xu Tian has not played in adversity recently. The 11-point difference gave him a lot of psychological pressure, and the taunts from the fans made him a little lost.
Kobe has faced countless big scenes, and he saw the fluctuation of Xu Tian's mentality, so he applauded and shouted to attract Xu Tian's attention and asked for the ball.
Xu Tian's passing skills were fine, he hit the ball and passed it to Kobe, and then started running without the ball.Doing so can not only open up space, but also allow the body to heat up quickly.
Kobe asked his teammates to pull away, and played Mayo in charge of the defense with a post-up single.
Mayo usually respects Kobe very much, but when he is on the court, he is an opponent. He uses a strong body to fight, trying to prevent Kobe from playing a comfortable rhythm.
Kobe carried Mayo with his back and tried to shoot directly backwards. After taking off, he realized that he couldn't get rid of it and could only increase the arc.
Antetokounmpo was in place to help defend, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and completed the key block.Take advantage of the trend and start directly to quickly promote the conversion of offense and defense.
Xu Tian wanted to chase Antetokounmpo, but unfortunately he ran too deep before and couldn't even out the distance in the middle, so he could only watch him take off in the frontcourt.
Brother Antetokounmpo dunks with both hands and firmly received two points!
The Bucks bench is boiling, celebrating this powerful dunk!
Kidd never thought he could pull the Lakers off the horse, and he was also very excited, clenched his right fist and celebrated passionately.
Scott just wants the team to go through adversity, fold his arms around his chest, and observe the players on the field calmly.He won the championship when he was a player, and he knows what kind of team can make it to the end.
