Chapter 166 The first opponent in the playoffs (13)
The camera is on Harden again.
He didn't have much reaction.Just watching D'Antoni's arrangement from the sidelines, the Rockets players stood anxiously on the sidelines.
The players on the Bucks side are different.
They are very calm at this moment.There is even something to look forward to.Kidd knew that the status of their team's players was fine at this time.
But at this time Kidd did not express the joy in his heart.
Maybe it's the years that make him not so easy to show his emotions.Maybe it's his fear of being happy that makes the players let down their guard.
This string has to be taut!Kidd believes that his teammates will not collapse!
D'Antoni: "Can't open the outside. Pass the ball to Ariza and Josh.
Don't mess!What kind of game do you play if the rhythm is out of order?If you are allowed to go down, you will say that I do not give a chance.
But I let you play as substitutes to delay the game.you...
We dragged each other into garbage time in the first half.You guards should be more defensive. "
I want to say something harsh.But eventually got it under control.In the game just now, the team made several low-level mistakes in a row.
This annoyed the Rockets head coach.
He is unwilling to put the main force back too early.Originally, his team had a big lead.
It doesn't look good to make it seem like being chased and beaten by Milwaukee.
The Bucks did not change the lineup after they came back. The fans hope that Mayo will play at this time and chase the score to about 5 points in the third quarter!
But this is too difficult!Kidd has absolutely no intention of doing so.He wants to see how far his team can play.
McAway undoubtedly got another chance to express himself.
Today, he feels that his shooting accuracy is much higher!
Feeling hot, he didn't want to be replaced directly.Luckily the coach didn't do that.
Ariza's personal ability is still very strong!
After the game came back, he took the lead to rush to the basket with the ball and let Ilyasova get a foul and scored 2+1!
McAway quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but was blocked by Ariza!
Parker immediately came out to get the ball, then held the ball high and found that the letter was the furthest from Ariza.
Li Feng rushed directly to Antetokounmpo to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer with his body!
……
89:75!This result is still acceptable.
The score difference of 28 points is still 12 points away at the end of the third quarter!
Although Harden is quite dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates.But there was no other way but to roll his eyes a few times.
At the end of the third quarter, Li Feng went off and replaced Mayo.
McAway played the entire third quarter by himself, scoring 11 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists!He is very satisfied with the result.
As a substitute member of the team, he averaged only 6.3 points per game.
They don't have Parker, Antetokounmpo, and Li Feng's unlimited firepower on the court.
You can only rely on the playing time of about 10 minutes per game to brush up your statistics!
Kidd: "Without getting hurt, play seriously.
It is acceptable to lose, after all, the strength of the opponent is here.The next match will be up to you..."
Back in the fourth quarter, Li Feng replaced McAway.He will team up with Mayo!At this time, there are not many places where the Bucks can play.
They can only find more on three points!After all, the Rockets have more offensive points!
Both inside and outside players can score.
The Bucks' play style in the last quarter is very simple, switching between the two tactics of mirror placement + offensive and defensive conversion.
Harden: "I think you still want to win? Interesting~"
Li Feng: "I also think it's very interesting~ Let's see you after the game. How about it?"
Harden: "Failure allows you to gain more experience playing against a team like ours. Li Feng is not pre-season now.
We will no longer be polite to you.you understand me? "
Li Feng: "I never asked you to be polite to our Bucks."
Harden nodded vigorously.
Antetokounmpo received a pass from Li Feng, and he was running very fast on the court at this time!And the confrontation of letters is not at a disadvantage here in the Rockets!
The Bucks basically gave up on Warcraft.But the Rockets also know they can't always feed Howard.
Because the Bucks also clearly demonstrated their three-point ability in the third quarter.You shoot a two-pointer, and the opponent hits a three-pointer. In this way, the Rockets still suffer.
Ilyasova missed a three-pointer with a pass from Alphabet.Howard gets the rebound and passes to Harden!
Li Feng directly signaled to Mayo to switch defenses.The scene is gradually heating up!But immediately the fans let out a lot of exclamation!
Before Harden could play his dribble in front of Li Feng, Li Feng directly cut off his ball and ran over.But it wasn't long before Terry stopped him.
After receiving Li Feng's ground pass in the chaos, Mayo made a jumper and hit a three-pointer!
Then Harden missed a three-pointer, and Ilyasova hit a three-pointer on the other side for the Bucks!The point difference has narrowed to less than 10 points!
111:109!There are 21.9 seconds left before the end of the game!Neither side has had a timeout.
Li Feng received the ball.The Rockets are a little panicked at this time!Foul intentionally at this time, maybe kill the Bucks or play overtime with them.
But is there another possibility?
Terry rushed towards Li Feng at this time.But failed to touch him!Terry signaled his flagrant foul to the referee.
The referees also told Terry, they know, but you have to draw fouls, right?
Harden ran over angrily at this time.But the ball was passed to Antetokounmpo!
The Bucks are spread out.The Rockets really didn't make a foul for a while.
Harden yelled from the frontcourt!The whole team began to run after the Bucks players!
When Parker was about to be caught up, the basketball passed to Li Feng again!
In today's game, what made the media feel strange is that the Rockets were unable to defend and catch Li Feng many times.
Li Feng's pace is still not fast, but the opponents can't catch up with Li Feng's pace.
At this time, the game was less than 6 seconds away.Originally, Kidd wanted the team to be deliberately fouled by the Rockets, and then play the next round.
But this gave the Rockets a chance to kill!So he didn't say anything, just stood quietly on the sidelines watching the final moments of the game.
At this time Harden was cornered!He ran over and jumped up, wanting to fall out of the arena with Li Feng!It's okay to be expelled by the referee!
But Li Feng saw it at this time and immediately passed the ball to Mayo next to him.Then took a step back, and the team ignored Harden who fell off the field alone.
The embarrassing value from Harden is +699!
With less than 2 seconds left before the game, Li Feng jumped straight up, got a pass from Mayo in the air, and hit the net with a three-pointer!The game is over!
Even if the referee wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.Just now you Harden didn't meet Li Feng at all, did you?What counts as a foul?
Harden beat the floor angrily on the sidelines!
Li Feng: "If you fail, you will gain experience. Thank you~"
The embarrassing value from Harden is +705! !
At this time, seeing the embarrassing income in the background, Li Feng took two steps back in fright, and then left the scene with his teammates.
Since owning the system, this is the first time in Li Feng's memory that he has received an embarrassing value of more than 700!
Kidd watched the end of the live game.He let out a sigh of relief.After that, without looking at anyone, he left the arena directly.
He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.The Bucks team was not high in combat power at the beginning of the season.
Kidd has been developing players throughout the season, running tactical drills with assistant coaches, and adapting players to the current rhythm of the game in game after game.
As he said to the players.
Entering No.8 in the Eastern Conference, there is nothing he wants the team to go forward.
Whenever encountering such a game, in fact, the players of the Bucks are playing the game in a "dark" style.
They don't know how far this game will go in the end.
You can only control the number of mistakes you make in each round.Cooperate well with your teammates, try to defend the opponent's players and so on.
The Rockets still have time to rest and relax, and the Bucks players only need to be on the court!They can only grit their teeth and fight the Rockets to the end!
From the beginning of the third quarter, the Bucks are fighting for time!Three-pointers one after another disrupted the rhythm of the Rockets many times!
Including the fourth quarter, the Rockets still couldn't adjust the rhythm of the game.And their shooting percentages have dropped a lot.
Maybe it's because I feel that against such a team, I don't need to use too much force to defeat them.
At the beginning of the game, they didn't think so.But when they led the opponent by 28 points at the end of the first half, the Rockets relaxed as a whole.
The Bucks scored 29 more points than the Rockets in two quarters!Leading by 1 point narrowly won the game.Kidd didn't feel anything, but his players were so happy!
At the press conference, Kidd highly praised the opponent's performance today.Harden didn't show up at the Rockets' press conference.
本场比赛霍华德拿到10分19篮板7盖帽！约什8分7篮板3助攻。阿里扎15分4篮板5助攻，哈登49分6篮板5助攻！特里17分3篮板2助攻！
Harden didn't score 50+ points, and their winning streak was interrupted by the Bucks!
No matter when the team is in a good state or when the team is still in a downturn in the fourth quarter, Harden can immediately come out and score!
This season the Rockets believe that their three-pointers can beat the Warriors!But I didn't expect to be defeated by the Bucks, the ninth team in the Eastern Conference, with three points in this game!
帕克7分6篮板12助攻！阿德托昆博10分8篮板5助攻！伊利亚索瓦17分3篮板3助攻！李峰30分2篮板6助攻！梅奥16分5篮板3助攻！
In this game, Li Feng is the one with the most points on the Bucks side!Facing the indiscriminate bombing of the Rockets, the team can only rely on the overall strength to play the game!
But today Li Feng played very steadily.McAway's performance in the third quarter was also eye-catching.
Before this game, some Bucks players questioned whether their team could enter the playoffs.But now they have no such idea.
The rankings of the Eagles and Cavaliers in the East are relatively stable.The Eagles have risen completely this season!
The Atlanta Hawks, led by coach Budenholzer who just became the team's coach, directly became the No. [-] team in the Eastern Conference regular season!
LeBron returned to Cleveland to form the Big Three of the Cavaliers, but none of them could shake the ranking of the Eagles!
But after a season, the Cavaliers team has been running in very well.The Wizards and the Bulls are different.
The two teams played the final game desperately to fight for who is the third in the Eastern Conference.But in the end the Bulls had a higher winning percentage, so they ranked No.3 in the Eastern Conference.
Kidd's original idea was to let the team rank sixth in the Eastern Conference.Then the first round of the playoffs and the Bulls.
But obviously the next game made him shake his mind.It didn't take long for the Bucks to end their winning streak. They won one game and lost one game, leaving them only seventh and No.8 in the Eastern Conference.
The management and coaching staff of the two ranking teams have held meetings to discuss this matter.In the end, the Bucks had no hope of becoming No.6 in the Eastern Conference.
That is to say, the Bucks, which is seventh in the Eastern Conference at this time, will meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs if the ranking remains unchanged.
The characteristic of the Cavaliers is that the personal strength of the starting players is too strong.Needless to say, LeBron, the former Timberwolves' main center Love, and the smart guard, as well as Smith's three-pointer this season
But the weak point of this team is their cooperation.But the team is still sending a signal to the entire league.
That is, the Cavaliers can use their personal combat power to make up for the lack of player coordination.Give the ball to Irving at the critical moment and it's over, and it's over to James~
On the other hand, the Atlanta Hawks have the characteristics of their team.The team doesn't have any superstar players.It belongs to a civilian team, but what does it mean that such a team can rush to the first place?
The Eagles, known as the "Eastern Spurs" throughout the season, have come to where they are today because of their cooperation and crazy offense like a "replica Spurs" on the field!
If this team is compared with the Cavaliers, Kidd still feels that the Eagles look slightly weaker.
If you compare the two teams with the Eagles and Cavaliers in terms of winning percentage, statistics, and player quality, then the Bucks might as well plan their next vacation right away.
Can't compete with the Eagles in terms of player coordination.Can't compete with the Cavaliers in player quality.
But the Bucks and the Eagles have one thing in common, that is, there are no big-name stars on the team.
Playing against the Hawks will make the Bucks feel like if you can get this far, why can't we beat your delusion?
Kidd also asked about the players in his hands.None of these players want to play with the Cavaliers
Now that they are playing against the Hawks, they still have some hope.Playing the first round with the Cavaliers, it is estimated that there is only despair left.
So in the last few games of the playoffs, the Bucks lost all three games under Kidd's adjustment, and finally dropped one place in the ranking, and came to the No.8 position in the East.
The regular season is all over.In this way, the Bucks will face the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of this season.
The Eagles can now say that the players are already very confident!No matter which team it is, when they reach the No. [-] spot in the regular season, they will be very proud.
