I’m Really Playing Basketball

In G1 of the finals, the Warriors defeated the Bucks on the road, which is definitely a big upset.

And this game is not a small victory, but a super big victory. This game can definitely bring great confidence to the Warriors.

Let's just put it this way, most of the players in the Warriors team are young players, and the veterans are only a few people such as Chen Xiao and Kelai.

Even a veteran like Little Yinsai Thomas is basically unable to play on the court due to injuries. As for Tucker, Anthony and other players, it is even more that they have never played in such a big scene.

So, for them, such a game can provide them with enough confidence.

Therefore, after the game, the atmosphere of the Warriors is visibly good.

Since the Bucks can beat the Bucks on the road, why should the Bucks be the biggest favorite in this year's finals?

At the same time, the game was a loss, which put a lot of pressure on the Bucks.

Ray Allen's face was visibly solemn at the post-game press conference.

This is actually understandable.

In this finals, the Bucks' preparations were aimed at Chen Xiao. Now that it is useless to target Chen Xiao, this is very embarrassing.

This means that all the homework the team did before the Finals was in vain.

And one home game was lost, which means that the Bucks have lost their home-court advantage in this finals.

And this is the most terrifying.

Just like Ray Allen and the Bucks thought of targeting Chen Xiao, which finals between the Warriors and the Bucks did the Warriors not target Curry?

It is precisely because the Warriors are madly targeting Curry that Ray Allen developed a strategy of letting Curry play off the bench before.

In the three finals, he did not meet the Warriors, which made Curry feel a lot more comfortable in the finals, and even won the finals MVP trophy with Durant last year.

Now I meet the Warriors again. In this game, Curry's mentality is a bit exploded by Kelai. It has been three years, and he has not played such a disgusting finals for three years.

Back then, when Kelai was madly chased by Kelai on the offensive end, and Marquette Mitaka was madly beaten by Marquette on the defensive end, it felt as uncomfortable as it felt.

In this game, Kerr hasn't targeted Curry's defense when he was attacking, but now it's just targeting Curry's offense.

Therefore, losing this game means that Kerr has more room to play more wildly, that is, he is not afraid of collapse, anyway, he has won a game, then attack and defend against Curry together, not afraid of being a hero in the end Deer such a crash.

The big deal is that it's the strategy to be defeated by the Bucks.

And that's what Ray Allen worries about the most.

He and Kerr are also old rivals for many years. Both of them are the top 20 head coaches in NBA history, and even Kerr is the top five head coaches.

Ray Allen definitely didn't believe Cole would pass up such an opportunity.

Therefore, after G1 of the finals, even many NBA experts and celebrities began to make suggestions for the Warriors.

Since the 40-year-old Chen Xiao still has more physical strength than Durant Antetokounmpo and Curry, the problem is solved for the Warriors.

The Warriors' lineup is so strong, and Chen Xiao can play hard against the Bucks' main force with rotation. In this case, let the intensity of the game be full, fight, and fight all the Bucks players. !

Let's just put it this way, the Bucks' five starters, the youngest Bobby Portis is 27 years old, Antetokounmpo is 28 years old, then Holiday is 32 years old, Durant is 33 years old, Curry is 34 years old, Plus the 36-year-old Matthews and others on the bench.

Let's just say, the Bucks are much older than the Warriors!

Why did Bucks head coach Ray Allen not play well with the Warriors in the finals, but instead focused on Chen Xiao's physical fitness?

Because the two teams have played in the regular season and in the past few seasons, the two teams have similar styles of play, and each season is a winner and loser. The Warriors are really different from the Heat, Cavaliers, and Lakers. Teams with similar styles and similar strengths will face off against each other.

When the bayonet hits the spot, Ray Allen and the Bucks aren't confident they can beat the Warriors' youngsters in the end.

So, get rid of Chen Xiao first, and then the players of the Warriors will become a mob of rootless trees.

But now, if Chen Xiao can't get rid of it, it will be embarrassing for the Bucks. At least, everyone has seen Morant's performance in the last game. The Bucks have no one who can stop it. he!

Of course, the Warriors have no one to stop the three-man offense of Durant, Antetokounmpo and Curry.

However, purely on offense, the Warriors' offense is much stronger than the Lakers, Heat and Cavaliers.

Against the Lakers, against the Heat, against the Cavaliers, you can really kill three goblins, but against the Warriors, you really can't.

Don't forget, the Warriors played the Bucks, but Chen Xiao scored 103 points in the Christmas game!

So, this is the reason why Ray Allen and the Bucks wanted to get rid of Chen Xiao as soon as they came up to G1 in the finals.

Now that Chen Xiao has not been able to get rid of it, the future will definitely be a big bomb that will detonate at any time for the Bucks.

Even this bomb will soon be detonated by Kerr in G2 of the finals.

With an away win at the bottom, Kerr will definitely take the risk of changing against Curry in g2 of the finals, and in turn against the age of the Bucks.

So, before the game, it's very interesting that a lot of experts are guessing how the Warriors will evolve.

To be fair, the Warriors' lineup is too thick, so this is really hard to guess.

But the time comes to June 5th, the g2 of the finals between the Bucks and the Warriors. The Bucks continue to face the Warriors at the Golden Eagle Arena.

After the starters of the two teams played in this game, all the speculation came to an end.

The Bucks' starting lineup hasn't changed much. It's still Curry, Holiday, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Portis.

But the Warriors' starter, that's really a big change.

The Warriors' starting lineup in this game became center Chen Xiao, power forward Wiggins, small forward Kelai, shooting guard Alexander, and point guard Morant.

Marvin Bagley, the Warriors' only legitimate power forward, was put on the bench.

At the same time the team's 3d player Herbert Jones also returned to the bench.

The defense of these two players is the most stable in the team, but the autonomous offense of the two is indeed problematic.

Now the team's defense has been replaced by players with strong autonomous offensive ability, which is already very obvious.

It's for Curry!

Even Durant and Antetokounmpo can be targeted.

Antetokounmpo and Durant are so tall, you make them one-on-one against Morant and Alexander, will this also be very stressful?

Of course, Alexander's absolute talent is not so good, so the main force of military training Curry and Durant Antetokounmpo is still Morant, and Alexander is the auxiliary.

Since he came to the Warriors in 2018, Alexander has played more than 60 playoff games in the past four years, and his three-point shooting rate has been above 40% every season, even two playoff seasons. The shooting rate of Alexander reached more than 50%. Alexander's ability to grasp the opportunity ball in the playoffs is terrifying. In the entire Warriors team, I am afraid that only Chen Xiao and Kelai are slightly stronger than him.

So Alexander and Kelai were on the court, plus Chen Xiao, and the three were there to prevent other Bucks players from making trouble when Morant named Curry.

At the same time, this is also an opportunity for Morant to fight whoever he wants.

As long as there are Chen Xiao, Kelai and Alexander on the court, Morant really wants to name someone, and that is who to name.

Therefore, seeing the appearance of the Warriors' starting lineup in this game, completely giving up defense, the experts outside are calling out crazy.

On the court, Curry is under a lot of pressure.

From this starting lineup of the Warriors, he knew that his game must be a dream back to four years ago.

After the start of the game, the Warriors' play did not disappoint Curry.

Tonight's jump ball, Wiggins lost to Portis, the Bucks took the lead, and the Bucks' leading player Durant did it first as soon as he came up. Marvin Bagley and Herbert Jones After two of the three players that interfered the most with his defense.

Now the Warriors have only one and a half players left in Wiggins and Klai, who can still play a good defensive role for him.

So as long as he cooperates a little, he can really hit whoever he wants.

As soon as the game came up, Durant ran to Alexander without the ball. After sitting on the horn on the right side of the free throw line, Alexander received a dropped ball from Curry. , in the cast hit, played quite freehand.

Alexander's defense this time is actually very hard, but the gap between height and weight is too big.

Alexander has already fought desperately according to Cole's request, but he really can't fight, and there is no way.

However, no matter what, the players of Alexander and the Warriors, as long as they are on the court in this game, will spare no effort.

Even Alexander guards Durant.

Anyway, don't worry that there will be no replacements after you have no physical strength. The Warriors have backup players who can be rotated.

When Alexander defended Durant, the following Herbert Jones and PJ Tucker were actually prepared.

Although the two are not as good as Alexander in function, after the two go up, the defensive pressure on Durant and Antetokounmpo must be far stronger than Alexander.

So, whether it's Durant or Antetokounmpo, you two can attack as you like. As for Curry, leave it to Klai, and then Morant can use his speed to help defend Curry for Klai at any time. .

As soon as Curry got rid of Kelai, Morant immediately went to delay Curry and let Kelai catch up.

Even someone else can do Morant's responsibility.

Because after Bagley went down, the Warriors' defense on the court has gone down, but the speed has gone down.

The defense is down, which is good for Durant and Antetokounmpo, but the speed is up, which is very bad for Curry.

Therefore, Kerr's idea in this game has been very clear, that is to make the best use of Curry.

As for Durant and Antetokounmpo, although I can't say let's go, it's no different from letting go.

This is actually a gamble. If it wasn't for the victory in the first game, Kerr would definitely not dare to make such a gamble.

I don't even dare to try Curry in a similar way.

After all, the game is so intense, gambling has a cost, and it is easy to make mistakes every step of the way, and in the end there is a price to pay.

And with the bottoming of the first finals victory, Kerr has the opportunity to make more adjustments.

Even if the game is lost, the experience can be learned from this game to adjust the targeted tactics.

After Durant got off to a strong start and beat Alexander one.

When he was just attacking, Curry, who had been entangled enough by Kelai, returned to the defensive end, and at a glance, whether it was Chen Xiao, Wiggins, Kelai, Alexander or Morant, all put him under pressure. very large.

He could also stand in front of Herbert Jones on defense last game.

And now, he can only stand in front of Kelai to defend.

Well, Klai's singles ability is indeed impossible to name Curry.

However, although Kelai is not good in singles, but the support is strong.

When you stand in front of Kelai, it means that other people and Kelai pick-and-roll, you simply don't dare to double-team the guy who is going to pick-and-roll against Curry.

Let's just say this time, when Morant came over to pick and roll with Klai to single against Curry, Klai pulled away, and Holiday could only watch Morant single against Curry.

This is really no way, who dares to play outside the three-point line?

"With a starter like the Warriors tonight, we can see Morant's extreme performance in this game!"

Morant had a 30-point performance in the last game, and I am afraid that this game will not be able to beat 30 points.

The Bucks don't have a big center, and everyone out there is slower than him. Isn't this a gallop for him?

Therefore, as soon as the first quarter of the game came up, Morant was on fire, and the first quarter became a singles show for Durant, Antetokounmpo and Morant.

The last match was Chen Xiao Yixiong fighting Sanying.

In the first quarter of this game, Morant became a one-man game of two heroes.

I have to say that the offensive state of Durant and Antetokounmpo in this game is really good.

In the first quarter, the Bucks temporarily led the Warriors by 4 points 37-33 at home.

However, such a lead, for Ray Allen, did not make him happy.

In the first quarter, Chen Xiao has not yet attacked!

In the first quarter, Morant used his speed to attack and pass the ball by himself, and he was consuming Antetokounmpo and Durant with four shooters alone.

In the second quarter, when Chen Xiao was standing on the court at the beginning.

…

If it's the first quarter, Morant shoots with a starter.

Then in the second quarter, it was Chen Xiao who took the rotation with all the stars.

Could it be that in this game, Durant and Antetokounmpo have to play four quarters in a row?

This is definitely not possible.

In the second quarter, Curry and Holiday could only lead the team, and Curry came down halfway through the first quarter.

but…

Can Curry and Holiday lead the team to hold the Bucks' advantage in the first quarter?

Ray Allen was honestly desperate.
