Chapter 321
After several rounds of fast running, Xu Tian's cooled body warmed up, and the short-term panic disappeared immediately, along with the expression on his face.
Fans at the Bradley Center are familiar with Xu Tian's expression, which means he has entered the game state.But they don't believe that the Lakers can recover the 2-point difference in about 13 minutes.
The defensive shouts were deafening, and the fans watching the game in front of the TV screen couldn't help but feel excited.Milwaukee, many fans are destined to lose sleep tonight.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, called Thackeray to put up a screen, and tried to play a pick-and-roll.
Antetokounmpo is huge and unable to cross the wall made by Thackeray, so he had to switch defenses passively.
The defender Xu Tian faced turned into Middleton.
Middleton is about the same height and weight as Xu Tian, but the gap between the two is not small, and they are at a disadvantage in confrontation.
Xu Tian's body fat rate is very low, and most of his weight is supported by muscles. With a skeleton that is one in a million, his core strength is extremely strong.Squeeze the space easily and accelerate the breakthrough in a straight line.
Middleton suffered a loss of strength and was limited in speed, so he could only chase behind him.
Xu Tian made an emergency stop at the free throw line, leaned against Middleton who was rushing forward, kept his balance, and shot confidently from the mid-range.
Middleton accepted Kidd's traditional coaching thinking. Since he fouled, he must prevent offensive players from taking shots and avoid being marked as 2+1.This idea is good, but it is difficult to actually implement it.
Xu Tian made a steady shot and scored two points steadily.
The referee whistled, Middleton drew a foul, and Xu Tian executed an additional penalty.
The Lakers attacked the audience at the back of the half, collided with the cheering sticks in their hands, and booed to interfere with Xu Tian's free throws.
Xu Tian took a deep breath and adjusted, ignoring the harsh boos and trash-talking shouts, and smoothly completed the shooting action according to his usual habits.
The basketball flew into the air, drew a beautiful arc, and entered the net with precision!
Lakers 95-105 Bucks!
Kidd shouted to Antetokounmpo, telling him not to slow down, and try to use a strong offensive deterrence to help outside shooters create opportunities.
Antetokounmpo saw that victory was in front of him, he was full of endless energy, accelerated his dribble, and used his unsolvable offensive and defensive conversion ability to break through the Lakers' defense.
The Lakers are not resolute enough in double-teaming, try to limit outside shooters, and don't give Antetokounmpo a chance to break through and score the ball.
Antetokounmpo strode to the basket, and across Thackeray's defense, he got up and wanted to dunk directly.
Thackeray is very tough on the defensive end, so naturally he will not score easily, and blocked Antetokounmpo with a pushing foul.
The Bradley Center waited until Antetokounmpo stood on the free throw line and shouted MVP in unison, the highest treatment, dedicated to the best player of the home team.
TNT played Antetokounmpo's performance in this game, not counting the two free throws to be executed. He played 38 minutes and scored 35 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. His performance was quite good.
Antetokounmpo's shooting is not stable enough, but there is no problem with free throws. Withstood the pressure and made both free throws!
95-107!
As we all know, if the team wants to recover the point difference, in addition to scoring, it must also be able to defend the opponent's offense.Both are indispensable.
There are many old fans in the Bradley Center who have watched the game for many years. They can easily see through the situation on the court and feel extremely excited.Before the start of the game, the Bucks fans never expected to win, but now that the victory is just around the corner, how can they not be surprised?
The support of the fans has affected the Bucks players, making them seem to have endless strength on both ends of the offense and defense.At this time, the game has reached the final stage, and the scale of confrontation is quite large.
With the help of cover, Xu Tian faced the flanking defense of Antetokounmpo and Middleton, forced a mid-range shot, and scored two points with difficulty.
97-107, the point difference is still maintained at 10 points!
The Lakers adjusted to a tight man-to-man defense. Xu Tian exerted physical confrontation to suppress Antetokounmpo's offensive rhythm.As long as Brother Antetokounmpo is not allowed to rush up, it is still possible to prevent him from coming down.
Brother Antetokounmpo was afraid of Xu Tian's steal, and quickly passed the ball to Middleton who was responding, trying to ensure that there were no mistakes.
Kidd stood next to the center line and loudly reminded the players to press the rhythm. Even if they couldn't score a goal, they would spend 24 seconds of attack time.
The Lakers defense expanded outwards, put pressure on the ball handler, and tried to complete the steal.
Middleton was not in a hurry. Seeing the Lakers players sticking up for defense, he immediately passed the ball to Mayo who was standing on the left.
The May Olympic ball changed speed and broke through to the left waist. When the Lakers formed a flank defense against him, he decisively passed the ball to Antetokounmpo at the top of the arc.
Antetokounmpo is 211 centimeters tall, 10 centimeters taller than Xu Tian. He holds the ball at the top of the arc to watch the attack timer. When there are 3 seconds left, he directly pulls up on the spot and forcibly shoots a three-pointer that he is not good at.
Those who help themselves, God helps them!
Hit a three-pointer, the game loses suspense!
Antetokounmpo's personal score reached 40 points, setting a career scoring record in a single game.He seemed extremely excited after killing the suspense of the game with a three-pointer.
Scott still has two timeouts in his hand, and he calls out a short timeout to adjust his offensive and defensive tactics.
Nick Young is an optimist. His long-term winning streak brought him blind confidence. This game calmed him down.He somewhat understood what Xu Tian said - the team that wins the cup in June is the winner!
Xu Tian still didn't give up. He firmly believed that as long as the final whistle didn't blow, everything could happen.During the timeout period, he was trying to mobilize the emotions of his teammates so that they could fight through the critical moment.
The Lakers players were driven by Xu Tian, and after returning from the timeout, their physical confrontation increased a lot. Unfortunately, the point difference was too large and the time was too short, so they could only catch up to 9 points in the end.
Middleton was fouled in a row and made all six free throws, killing the last hope of chasing points.
10.2 seconds before the end of the game, Xu Tian missed a key three-pointer and the ball flew out of bounds.At this time the score was Bucks 117-108 Lakers, the game completely lost suspense.
Scott called a timeout, simply to make the painful emotion last longer.
Xu Tian, George and Kobe were all replaced, and witnessed the last 10.2 seconds.
When the final whistle sounded, Scott walked to the technical stage and hugged Bucks coach Jason Kidd.
Kidd then walked up to Kobe and greeted each other with this dream eight's old teammate.
Xu Tian has a strong desire to win, but he is not a player who can't afford to lose. He high-fives the Bucks players friendly, and then gave the bracelets to the fans on both sides of the player tunnel.After entering the player tunnel, he put his disappointment on his face.
Failure always makes people feel bitter.
The atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was very dull, and the slightly inflated words before disappeared.No one wanted to talk too much, they packed their luggage silently, and prepared to embark on a journey to Cleveland.
Xu Tian refused the reporter's interview, walked out of the locker room early, got on the quiet team bus, and carefully recalled this slightly chaotic night.
The cheers from the fans in the Bradley Center came from time to time, which made Xu Tian, who was a little paranoid about the victory, feel extremely uncomfortable.This feeling made him wish he could play the next game immediately.
Fortunately, they will challenge the Cavaliers away tomorrow night.
