The Nets attack.
Mike James dribbles to the frontcourt.
Holiday is on guard.
Mike calls Claxton to cover.
Claxton and Bai Qiang raised their bodies at the same time and clamped Holiday.
Mike dribbled in and broke through, Portis helped defend.
Singles Portis?
Unless you don't want to live anymore, then you can challenge him.
Mike hit the ball hard to Shamet who was ambushing in the bottom corner.
A near miss!
Shamet received the pass, faced Connaughton's defense, and fired!
Connaughton did not lose his position. He tried his best to interfere with Shamet without fouling.
"哐~"
Unfortunately, the goddess of luck did not favor Shamet.
Just as Portis was about to collect the rebound, Bai Qiang jumped up from behind him.
"Snapped"
The basketball was swatted away from Portis' hands by Bai Qiang, and bounced high over everyone's heads.
Bai Qiang took off from the spot and jumped!
The scene is like the "Glimpses of Paradise" described by Francis E. in "Nighthawks":
A dunk fell from the sky, piercing the sky, shining with fiery brilliance!
"Clang"
The basketball fell like a meteor, and the basket could not withstand the impact and was teetering.
"nice shot!"
The fans on the sidelines shouted excitedly.
Their eyes were hungry, as if they wanted to squeeze out all the satisfaction from this thrilling scene.
It was an indescribable beauty, just like Iverson breaking through the defense, like Tracy McGrady's pull-up jumper.
Bai Qiang is like an eagle with spread wings, cutting through the sky, condensing the blazing light on every inch of skin.
Portis is such a poor kid. He was just elbowed and dunked again!
26:24!
Bucks offense.
Holiday received the ball and continued to dribble behind his back, disrupting Mike's rhythm.
At this time, Connaughton, the Bucks' top three-point shooter, ran out with the help of Portis' off-ball screen.
Holiday handed the ball to the shooter.
Jump shot!
The basketball drew a wonderful arc and hit the basket accurately.
"Uh-huh!"
26:27!
Although the core players did not perform well, the characters were remarkable.
In the next round, the Bucks relied more on outside shots to score.
They tried to widen the gap in one fell swoop.
But Bai Qiang led his teammates to dig into the inside with explosive packs.
If you can't score, you'll get a foul.
Go to the free throw line and score a point or two.
After the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 34:37, with the Bucks leading by 3 points.
With his outstanding performance, Bai Qiang scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Vaughn is very satisfied with Bai Qiang. No matter whether he is offensive or defensive, he is impeccable!
"The Nets played well in the first quarter. Even though they lost one of their top players, they still held on to the score."
Wang Meng looked at the broadcast station and analyzed seriously.
"If nothing else happens, the Nets will overtake the score in the second half and win."
"Hmm, Coach Yang, are you starting to support Brooklyn too?"
Wang Meng laughed and looked at Yang Yi and asked.
"The Nets have Bai Qiang and Durant. Do I have any problem supporting them?"
Yang Yi glared at Wang Meng and defended.
"Hahaha, Coach Yang, you are famous for being a loudmouth and can complain about anything. Now that you say you support the Nets, I don't believe you."
Wang Meng laughed and shook his head, looking like he had seen through everything.
"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"
Yang Yi stared at Wang Meng and said.
…
The camera cuts back to the basketball court.
The second quarter of the game started.
The Bucks have Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Connaughton, Lopez and Tucker.
The Nets' lineup is Bai Qiang, Durant, Jeff Green, Harris and Shamet.
So far, Brown has not been able to recover, which shows how cruel Portis is.
Bucks offense.
Middleton dribbled the ball across half court.
Harris stepped forward and opened his hands in a defensive posture.
Harris is also outrageous. He was a god in the regular season, but he failed in the playoffs!
Who can I talk to to reason with you? !
Middleton turned his back to Harris and advanced step by step.
Harris looks strong, but is actually very fragile.
positional warfare.
Middleton passed the ball to Lopez.
Connaughton and Tucker cross paths.
Shamet and Harris didn't dare to neglect.
After all, the Bucks shot too hard three-pointers in the first quarter.
Connaughton took advantage of Lopez's pick-and-roll and received the pass hand-to-hand.
After Connaughton caught the ball, he immediately faked a shot.
Harris, who switched defenses, pounced on him without hesitation.
Connaughton sneered and dribbled the ball into the paint.
As everyone knows, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind!
Bai Qiang came from the left corner with lightning speed to help defend.
Just as Connaughton took off for a layup, a big double came up.
"Bang~"
The basketball suddenly hit the basket and bounced toward the front court.
Connaughton never expected that someone would appear behind him.
The basketball was collected by Durant's long arms.
No rush, take your time!
Durant was not in a hurry to play fast break. He slowly dribbled the basketball towards the frontcourt.
Durant came to the frontcourt and began to direct the players to run tactics.
Budenholzer barked on the sidelines, signaling for his players to be more defensively aggressive.
No matter what, after all, their lives hang on a thread and they can only make a desperate move.
Tucker received the coach's instructions and immediately began to pester Durant.
NBA is NBA after all!
When defending, it doesn't matter if you use some small moves!
Durant feels a little uncomfortable——
Originally, the playoffs were very taxing on him, and he still had to deal with this guy.
Bai Qiang raised his body to cover.
Durant saw the right moment and changed direction in front of his body, as if teleporting.
Tucker wanted to continue entangling him, but was stuck by Bai Qiang's huge body.
Durant glanced at him.
Immediately, he hit the ground and passed the ball, and the basketball came into Bai Qiang's hands.
Bai Qiang took a dribble step.
Instead of continuing to break through the three-second zone, he used a horse-riding archery move!
The body leans back slightly, with the right knee at 90 degrees in front of the body——
Whoever rushes forward without the sense of humor will probably end up with no descendants.
"Shua~"
Basketball hits steadily!
36:37.
Bucks offense.
The Alphabet Mushroom is shorted in the right bottom corner.
He hesitated for a moment and then took action.
Just as Green suspected, the basketball shot was short and hit the right edge of the basket.
The basketball was caught by Bai Qiang.
Shamet caught the ball and advanced quickly with the ball.
The Bucks rank first in the league in transition between offense and defense, and the Nets' fast breaks are often defended.
Bai Qiang followed up behind Shamet.
The opponent shrunk their defense, and almost all five players were concentrated within the three-point line.
This is not conducive to breakthrough.
Bai Qiang and Durant made eye contact.
Green provided a screen for Durant, and Harris provided a screen for Bai Qiang.
Scattered running, unpredictable positioning.
Harris caught the ball at 45 degrees on the right side.
He took the jump shot without hesitation!
As the top shooter in the NBA, he is quite confident.
Even if the game feels bad!
"哐~"
The basketball bounced out of the frame.
Bai Qiang decisively rushed in from the free throw line and jumped into the air.
The moment he caught the ball, he threw the ball again.
"Beep~"
At the same time, Lopez reached out and hit Bai Qiang in the face.
The referee blew the rusty whistle.
"Shua~"
The ball went in...
