Chapter 109 The Dust Settles (2/3)(1/2)
In the last 26.3 seconds of the game, Kidd called for a timeout. The Warriors immediately replaced Iguodala!
Barbosa was brought in to replace Livingston. Livingston did not perform well in today's game.
Green had just returned home and expressed his views on the game on social media.
"Although we will definitely win this game in the end, we have to admit that we neglected our defense of the Bucks!"
Curry liked Green's post five minutes later.
Pachulia was substituted. 123:121! The Bucks were still 2 points behind! The Warriors lineup at this time was David Lee, Speights, Barnes, Barbosa and Thompson!
Cole's mood had obvious ups and downs at this time. In a regular season, the Warriors were forced to this point by the Milwaukee Bucks!
He was puzzled at first, and then gained a new understanding of the Bucks team. From a player perspective, the Bucks' player combination did not have any major problems.
That somewhat reckless front line player now has considerable defensive ability! And his number of turnovers has also been reduced.
The team has organizational, defensive and offensive players. The match between players is also reasonable.
During the game, Cole had the illusion that the team led by Kidd was like a combination of the Warriors and the Spurs, but its offensive tactics were mainly based on the triangle offense.
Every time he had this thought, it would send chills down Cole's back.
What is Kidd going to do as a coach?! Even now, many media are still ridiculing the Bucks, saying that they have taken too big a step and that they are delusional about entering the playoffs this year.
But from his point of view as the head coach of the Warriors, Kidd's ambition goes far beyond just entering the playoffs, right?
At this time, Kidd noticed the eyes coming from the opponent's bench. When Cole saw Kidd looking this way, he immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to watch the game...
Antetokounmpo: "It's unbelievable! The Warriors finally caught the referee's attention because of too many flagrant fouls! This is called reaping the consequences!"
Mayo: "It seems we are going to beat the Warriors today~"
Parker: "Two more three-pointers to teach the Warriors how to play! Wait for me to pass the ball~"
Li Feng: "Let's not be careless! Even though the game is going like this, it's better to be careful!"
The surrounding players nodded. After halftime, Parker decisively passed the ball to Mayo next to him.
The sudden hand-to-hand pass scared many Warriors players into cold sweats!
Mayo hit a three-pointer directly with a jump shot!! At this time, the Oracle Arena cheered like a mountain and a tsunami!
After Li got the rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Barbosa! The latter almost flew out of the court with the ball...
The throw was too high. But before the Bucks had time to defend, Lightning Barbosa rushed directly to the frontcourt and scored a layup!!
125:121! When the Bucks players who were on the court just now saw this scene, the sparks in their hearts suddenly went out!
Li Feng: "Run!!"
Taking the ball from Pachulia, Mayo immediately passed the ball after hearing the shouts of Li Feng who had already passed halftime. Li Feng, who took the basketball, hit a three-pointer in the face of the crazy shouts of Warriors fans!!
Then he covered his head... and the embarrassment went crazy in the background!
Among the fans in the first five rows, all Warriors fans basically contributed embarrassing points to Li Feng!!
It seems that Li Feng has really touched the nerves of Warriors fans!
Cole: "Squeeze the time! Wait for the opponent to commit a foul!"
Although the players couldn't hear the coach's words clearly, they still knew what he said.
Warriors players made various passes to prevent the Bucks from catching the ball! Mayo saw that the time was less than 8 seconds and pounced decisively!
Speights and Mayo fell to the ground together!
The referee blew the whistle and Mayo, who had excellent shooting ability, was sent off!
Seeing that time was running out, Kidd decisively called for a timeout. Let Knight and Ilyasova come on. Speights stood at the free throw line and made 0 of 2 free throws!
Barnes directly saw Pachulia intercept the pass and immediately committed a foul.
Pachulia, who was also standing at the free throw line, made 1 of 2 free throws! Thompson threw the ball out of the backcourt! The two sides entered overtime!
...
Players on both sides are looking for ways to rest.
147:147! Almost none of the audience left.
A few fans left the arena for some reason. After two overtimes, the players on both sides became quite quiet.
They no longer had the energy to provoke on the court. Moreover, the Warriors players on the court, including Thompson, were doubting whether they could win the game.
The coaches at both ends watched the players come back and made brief arrangements.
Then let the players rest. In the third overtime, the Warriors played Bogut, David Lee, Barnes, and Barbosa!
The Bucks are Parker, Millsap, Ilyasova, Li Feng and Knight in order!
Hansen and Pachulia are on the verge of death... Their physical fitness is close to 0. At this time, they are sitting on the bench helplessly.
Both Parker and Millsap have good physical fitness, and Antetokounmpo took a short break.
Li Feng just slept on the bench for 10 minutes. His physical fitness has recovered a lot.
Basically, they lie down and sleep~
Kidd: "You have already fulfilled all my requirements today. In the following games, you will be free to play as you wish."
Kidd, who was the team's head coach for the first time last season, knows very well what it means if a key player is injured.
So now that he has come to the Bucks, he has emphasized injuries the most. He also told the players off the court to stay healthy and avoid getting sick.
It would be better to have fewer wins on the field to ensure that the players are not injured. As long as the team finally enters the playoffs.
Thompson: "Although I think you will never beat us in the next game. But you really played a long time in this game."
Seeing Li Feng coming, Tang Shen said to him feebly. In the next game, he will be the main defense against Li Feng!
Li Feng is a player who often plays an important role on the court. He is another important player for the Bucks after Parker and Antetokounmpo!
The three people have different positions, so they can cooperate well on the field!
Millsap took the basketball and rushed in next to Lee for a layup!
Bogut: "Defense! Do you want us to lose on purpose?!"
The teammates didn't say anything when they heard it. But they felt that Millsap had been let go a little bit. But the opponent's guy was really strong.
It is estimated that Green was his only opponent in their team during the game.
Thompson: "We have experienced hundreds of games in a row, and we will not be soft this season. Li Feng. You know what I mean."
Li Feng: "I don't understand, I just fart!"
The embarrassment from Thompson is worth 399!
It seems that this is Li Feng himself.
He felt that the game had already reached the third overtime, and it was useless for you to still talk to me here.
Thompson looked at the time and didn't talk nonsense to Li Feng. He moved directly to the three-point line and took a big step to hit a 2-point jump shot!
He looked down at the soles of his feet and realized that he had stepped on the line. Lee and Millsap had a conflict under the basket. Lee was given a technical foul and Millsap was sent off directly!
Antetokounmpo stood up on the bench and walked over angrily!
At this time, Antetokounmpo also felt a little tired. This was the first time he felt tired in a game this season.
But unlike the players around him, Antetokounmpo is just a little tired at this time.
The players on both sides were very angry today. It had been like this from the beginning of the game, and the referees had already made unrealistic penalties.
They acquiesced in many foul actions, especially at the end of the game, but Millsap's action just now was too big and they had to blow the whistle immediately.
They feel that they have done a good job. Otherwise, in such a game, it is possible for both teams to be punished without substitutes!
The Bucks are like gummy candies, they stick to you. The feeling of being unable to get rid of them makes the Warriors even more uncomfortable.
Li Feng has now scored 26 points personally. He is satisfied because the task of scoring 20 points in a single game recently chosen by him has been completed!
Three overtimes, more than 35 minutes of playing time, and he is a shooting guard, which is quite good~
The main task now is to see how we can win against the current Warriors!
The reason why Thompson has received such attention from the Warriors is not only because of his outstanding height, but also because he is also very good at three-pointers.
Not only that, Tang Shen also has excellent defensive and pick-and-roll abilities!
He is a model of 3D player in the league today! After the letter came up, the Warriors players felt that Lee had just made a mistake.
Although Millsap is a fierce player and has good physical fitness, he is a player on a different level than Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo's personal movement speed and flexibility are better than Millsap. He is still very young and has very good physical fitness. In addition, Antetokounmpo's strength value is terrifying!
The players on the field now seem a little tired, but looking at the letters on the field, he doesn't seem to feel anything.
First, through Ilyasova's pick-and-roll, Antetokounmpo passed Barnes, and then came Lee and Bogut!
At this time, there is no Green to restrict him on the court, and without Curry's three-point bombing, the Warriors' combat effectiveness has been reduced too much.
In this way, the Warriors watched the letters dunk and score points but were unable to do anything.
To be continued...
