961. Victory is in sight
"It's very interesting. The Lakers have withdrawn their troops, and the Bucks are still fighting. What does Teacher Su think? Does the Bucks still have a chance tonight?"
Tencent live broadcast room, Duan Bancheng asked.
The topic was given to Teacher Su, and he took a deep breath, "In fact, it doesn't make much sense to continue the game. Why do you say that? Because the score difference is now 32 points, the Bucks' single-quarter scores in the first three quarters did not exceed this number."
"Besides, while the Bucks scored 32 points, they also had to ensure that the Lakers did not score. This is too difficult. After all, the Lakers are a team that broke through the Western Conference siege, the Western Conference champion, and even if they are all substitutes, they can score more than 20 points."
"But then again, this is the finals after all. Antetokounmpo made the final battle in his first career. He is definitely unwilling to give up the game so early. Besides, if they lose again, they will be behind 1-2, which is very unfavorable."
Duan Bancheng took over the conversation, "That's right, when the Lakers took the starting lineup, it seemed that they had a small exchange with Antetokounmpo and coach Budenholzer. They should be discussing whether to let go of the game. It seems that Antetokounmpo is not willing to return to the bench at this time, and is more willing to fight for a slim hope on the court."
Staples Center, the situation on the field is a bit tragic for the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Iliasova, Brogdon, and George Hill, sent a decisive lineup with three-point shooting range, obviously wanting to fight for a while.
The Lakers took down Lam Feng and James, and they could also ensure that they would not be injured accidentally while resting on the sidelines.
Rondo, Finson, Beasley, Howard and Pope play on the court, and Walton sent a veteran lineup to let them use their rich experience to remove the remaining beliefs of their opponents.
The game continued, with pick-and-roll at No. 3 and 5, Antetokounmpo cut into the basket and finished dunking.
On the bench, Lin Feng covered his head with a towel and talked and laughed with his teammates next to him. He kept staring at Antetokounmpo with his own light and observing the guy's way of playing. He knew that he would continue to play against the Greeks in the next game, hoping to continue his good luck tonight.
In the Lakers' offensive round, Rondo held the ball and organized it.
It was a bit sad. Although Rajon Rondo was 33 years old, he still had a lot of oil in his fuel tank. He sent 25 assists in a single game in the Pelicans two years ago, which made the league's point guards sigh.
But he could only play games at unimportant times tonight. All of this stems from Lin Feng's explosive performance. However, Rondo doesn't care about his appearance. As long as he can help the team win the championship, he is willing to play any role.
This is the style of veterans, including Howard, they all feel the same, because everyone loves the current Lakers.
Pope detoured to the oblique side forty-five degrees, and the two of them immediately stepped forward to guard the Bucks!
Rondo quickly passed the ball, but Pope caught the ball and made a shooting move, but it turned out to be a flying pass.
Everyone's attention was on Pope, and Beasley, who cut inside the basket, was unmarked and easily scored two points!
In Tencent live broadcast room, Duan Bancheng said: "Why are the Bucks overreacting with a beautiful pass? When they saw that the Lakers had players on the outside, they immediately saved them to defend, regardless of whether there was anyone under the basket."
Teacher Su smiled, "It's true. They may feel that Pope's body shape is a bit similar to Gary Smith, but not everyone can shoot 6 of 8 shots like him."
The Bucks counterattacked, and Antetokounmpo, who was released, began to attack with the ball on the top of the arc. Without Lin Feng's close entanglement, he could finally take a breath and hit his own routine.
However, Stephenson did not make him feel too comfortable, and kept using the mysterious steps to disturb Antetokounmpo's attention. Fenson was full of joy, his upper body was shaking and his mouth was full of words.
Antetokounmpo chose to break through on the left, but it had a solid collision with Finson!
Perhaps because he felt guilty and thought he had a foul on the offensive, Antetokounmpo passed the ball to George Hill on the outside in a large open space.
There is not much time left for offense, and Hill misses the shot against Pope!
Rondo shouted and took off the rebound, then ran quickly through the half, stopping the ball near the logo and waiting for the time to pass.
With a 32-point lead, they are not in a hurry to attack. It is what they should do to slowly wipe out their opponent's fighting spirit.
Brogden wanted to go forward and steal, but Rondo was faked to the side and then handed the ball to Howard, who was inside!
The Sparks are very popular, after all, they are the first center, and both veterans and rookies have respect for him. Howard played singles as Iliasova after receiving the ball, and Antetokounmpo is ready to give him an hat at any time.
The team's leading score made the players relax. The Lakers' bench players shouted "Dwight" and sent a singles signal.
Lin Feng screamed vigorously, and he told Spark to use his steps to get rid of defense from afar.
As a result, the guy really did this. He first swung his shot to the left, then turned around and pulled it back on the right, jumped high and scored with a shot!
The 211 cm tall gave him a broad vision, so that the three Bucks at the basket could not stop him.
The moment the ball entered the basket, the audience shouted his name, just like the love that I experienced when I first came to the Lakers in 2012.
The happy boy showed joy and waved his arms to the home fans. This was his second finals journey in his career. The 2009 spark led the Magic to eliminate Old James' Cleveland Cavaliers in the Western Conference Finals, making the classic 23VS24 showdown failed to be staged.
In the finals that year, Howard averaged 15.4 points, 15.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 4.0 blocks per game. In the end, the team lost to its current boss, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Kobe averaged 32.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game and helped the Lakers beat the Magic 4-1 and successfully won the championship.
Now Howard has become one of them. Although his dominance is not strong enough, he can still shine at certain points. His defensive ability at the basket is an indispensable and important factor for the team.
On the court, the Bucks continued to counterattack. Antetokounmpo shook Stephenson from the outside and passed the ball to Middleton. He entered the free throw line and then took it back. He was surrounded by Howard and Beasley at the basket. After stopping the ball, he could only find his outside teammates!
Brogden also had a fake shot at the top of the arc, but he was not so lucky. Fenson was not fooled again this time.
He kept muttering, "Don't try to play with me twice! You are not that guy with a very long name!"
The offensive time is six seconds, and Brogdon divides George Hill again!
Hill was instantly blocked by Beasley's big hand and had no shooting space, but he accurately caught Beasley's defensive loophole and successfully made a shooting foul.
The bench James stood up and applauded, acknowledging his teammates' fighting spirit on the court.
The Lakers veterans didn't give their opponents a good chance in the round just now. If Hill hadn't had an idea, it would have been a 24-second violation.
"It seems we can stay safe until the game is over, LeBron." Lin Feng stood in front of the chair to watch the game.
Old Zhan nodded slightly with his hands in his chest, "We will win the championship in five games, no doubt."
