Chapter 345 The Player Who Finally Takes The Victory (1/3)(1/2)
The Bucks showed fatigue prematurely in the third quarter.
Li Feng's defense almost made them desperate.
The score difference once widened to 15 points! Walton seemed to sense the danger and immediately called a timeout and replaced Li Feng.
The Bucks players all breathed a sigh of relief, and they began to chase points back.
Without these two guys, Li Feng and Kobe Bryant, they were in a much more relaxed state.
But Kidd's frown deepened. He glanced at Wharton not far away in surprise, and then walked back worriedly.
What he didn't expect was that Walton looked young, but at this time he was controlling the rhythm of his team on the scene!
Late comebacks have been a specialty of the Bucks in recent seasons, but what if the Lakers guarded them in advance?
Kidd was just thinking that the live game seemed to be speeding up, and the third quarter was over!
95:85! The Bucks recovered 5 points! At this time, the deficit was only 10 points.
In this quarter of the game, Zubac and Ingram played heartily!
It seems that the live game has become a kind of enjoyment.
Back on the sidelines, Walton's warm smile seemed to have relieved a lot of their fatigue.
Their mission tonight should be completed.
In normal games, if everyone does not use their efforts in one place, then there is no doubt that the players in the game will be very tired if they want to let the team take the lead.
Whether it is physical or mental, you will feel tired.
But in the current Lakers, there is still a big gap between players.
Their performance on the court is getting better and better. Li Feng leads them and connects all the Lakers players on the field as much as possible!
The game has become more rhythmic, this is an indisputable fact.
Kidd: "I think effective defense can still see results in the game."
It’s okay to say otherwise. The current Bucks don’t have many players who can score.
There is only one quarter left in the game, and if the score difference is about 15 points, they will have to fight tooth and nail.
But in this situation, 10 points, in today's league, there is still hope for such a deficit.
It was easy to say before, but in this quarter the Bucks were afraid that the game would remain deadlocked.
If this continues, they will really lose!
Kidd: "In terms of scoring, don't worry too much. Everything is focused on overtaking the opponent. When the time comes, I will pause again to adjust..."
Is it finally the last moment? Kidd was thinking so at this moment.
The Bucks' lineup in the fourth quarter was Hansen, Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Malcolm and Matthew!
On the Lakers side are Luol Deng, Randle, Nance, Kobe and Nick Young in order!
Kidd looked at Nance Jr. and Nick Young and sighed directly. If he could have a lineup like the Lakers...
Coaching a team is a skill. Some teams have good players, but the head coach cannot control his players.
There are many examples of letting them compete with each other wantonly and viciously, eventually leading to the team falling apart in terms of rhythm and team mentality.
But now they are facing a Lakers team that works hard enough.
Walton is a young coach who is working hard to get some results. The most important thing is that they also have Li Feng on the team...
Nance Jr. only played 2 minutes and 6 seconds in today's game. He was asked to go up in the last quarter without thinking too much. He immediately adjusted his condition and rushed forward.
But not long after I went up, my chin was swollen!
Walton still insisted that he continue to play! The defensive state of the Bucks was like crazy!
Nick Young's shooting touch was not good today.
Kobe looked back at Walton several times, but all he got was shakes of his head.
...
101:99! Walton called for a timeout at this time. The Black Mamba was relieved.
Their 10-point lead is now gone.
Walton: "Nance, is your jaw okay now?"
Nance: “I can still fight”
Walton: "Okay. In the next game, you create more offensive threats for the opponent. Let them think that we focus on letting the forwards and defenders swing here to attack..."
Looking at him inquiringly, Li Feng made a gesture like "I have recovered my physical strength."
In the sky above the Bradley Center, the fans let out a huge sound of disappointment.
In their opinion, Wharton is stupid. Why did Li Feng suddenly come on stage?
According to his chaotic arrangement, the Bucks should be able to win theirs in the end!!
But it is estimated that there are not many people who can see Wharton's thoughts, Kidd is one of them.
Walton knew the characteristics of the Bucks, so he didn't dare to counterattack them quickly.
The Lakers have 5 opportunities to quickly distance themselves from the Bucks!
But they didn't do this. Instead, they kept a proper distance from their stag!
The purpose is to prevent the psychological gap caused by the team trying its best but being unable to distance itself from the Bucks.
What’s more, Milwaukee can also produce high-explosive combat power!
Fighting desperately against the opponent not only failed to widen the gap, but also allowed the Bucks to overtake the score and widen the gap behind...
This is very embarrassing.
The Bucks replaced Hansen and Matthew during this timeout.
Monroe and Vaughn played. Li Feng of the Lakers returned to the game again.
The situation that the opponents and the Bucks fans at the scene least wanted to see happened.
Li Feng's defensive state today is simply excessive! What's more, he also has relatively good organizational skills!
Although Li Feng is not very strong in these aspects, he was still very effective against the current Bucks today.
Li Feng came to the playing field and looked at the score. He was not optimistic.
He directly asked Kobe to dribble the ball to the frontcourt. Nance Jr. got the basketball and immediately made a gesture of breaking through!
But the Bucks didn't care about him. Nance Jr. got up and scored a 2-pointer from a long distance!
Wharton felt secretly happy! Sure enough, he was right. Nance Jr.’s personal competitive state and his reaction were both very good!
On the field, as long as he is not guarded to death, he can respond flexibly to some situations!
And as a forward player, Nance's personal score is also very impressive!
At this time, Vaughan received the serve from his teammate and slowly came to the frontcourt. Facing Li Feng, he decisively passed the ball to Malcolm.
Antetokounmpo directly received his pass, hit Nance at the same time, then used the cover of his teammates to avoid Kobe, then knocked Landou away and violently dunked with both hands!!
Walton suddenly exploded when he saw this scene! He immediately rushed over to argue with the referee, but luckily the players on the scene pulled him back.
The referee looked at Walton angrily at this time, as if he was going to call the young coach a foul!
103:101! At this time, Antetokounmpo looked at the Lakers players with a ferocious face!
The determination of the Bucks to win today is evident! Antetokounmpo is going to risk his life to fight the Lakers!
It would be unwise to compete physically with such a person at this time.
The weak point difference makes the Bucks want to take the lead immediately!
This time Li Feng encountered Malcolm's defense when dribbling the ball, and was finally passed by him!
Li Feng rushed over aggressively, and when Li Feng saw it, he immediately threw a high pass to Kobe!
Middleton elbowed Kobe, but the latter did not panic at all. He posted up the strong Bucks small forward, turned around and saw the letter coming, and then passed the ball out!
Compared with the Bucks' somewhat reckless defense tonight, the Lakers played much more reasonably!
Li Feng took Kobe's return pass and directly stood up and hit a three-pointer!
Sure enough, not long after Li Feng came on the court, the score difference widened! The fans at the scene shouted "defense" loudly.
The Lakers players are already watching the game seriously! The Lakers are really going to take off this season!
If this game is won, the Lakers will still be first in the Western Conference regular season winning percentage rankings!
Kidd: "Man-to-man, Antetokounmpo marks Kobe, and the rest of the players immediately look for their own defenders!"
For a team that works well together, they can only do this defensively!
Malcolm dribbled the ball across half court. When he saw Nance Jr. and Kobe Bryant switching defenses, he passed directly without passing.
Then he quickly allowed Nance Jr. to receive a foul, and then made 2 free throws!
