The Big Lopez and Duck Egg stood near the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball, and the game was about to begin.

Lopez and his younger brother Lopez Jr. are both playing in the NBA now. The two are similar in figures, but their styles are very different. Lopez has better offense, can shoot 3 points, and can also play singles at the basket. Lopez Jr. is more inclined to defend, more like a defensive blue-collar worker.

However, in the Bucks, Daluo does not have many tactical opportunities at low posts. He is the strangest center in the league. On the offensive end, he basically doesn't enter the penalty area and keeps opening up space outside the three-point line. On the defensive end, he is responsible for protecting the basket, and together with Antetokounmpo, he has created the best inside defensive net in the league.

The Bucks' head coach is also the Spurs, and he was the coach of the Hawks. Budenholzer Budenholzer had previously built a civilian super team in the Hawks. In the 2014-15 season, the Hawks won 60 wins and reached the top of the Eastern Conference in the regular season. However, in the playoffs, they were swept by the Cavaliers and missed the finals because of their lack of superstars.

Budenholzer's system is that the shooter opens up the space, Antetokounmpo breaks out, and gives some 3 points to the top of the arc and the wings on the defensive end to lock the inside.

Therefore, the Bucks lost games this season were basically shot to death by three points. Daluo basically didn't leave the penalty area, so he was responsible for protecting the basket, while Antetokounmpo was responsible for sweeping. It was not easy to break through their inside line.

The Bucks' offense is actually a bit like the Magic Ball. Their mid-range distance is very small, either at the basket or 3 points. However, they are still slightly better than the Rockets and are not that extreme. Xuebu and Midou will still shoot some mid-range shots.

Amid the cheers of the fans on the scene, the jump started!

Duck egg jumped to Daluo, and the Thunder won the first wave of offensive ball rights.

Westbrook dribbled over slowly.

The one who defends Westbrook is Blood Cloth. Blood Cloth has a relationship with the Thunder. In the 2010 draft, he was selected by the Thunder in the first round of 18, but he was immediately traded to the Clippers.

On November 8, 2017, the Bucks sent Monroe, a future protected first-round draft pick and a second-round draft pick, getting blood from the Suns' trade.

The Blood Cloth is undoubtedly the source of offense and defense energy in position 1, but since he was seriously injured, his body has not exploded as before. It may be really difficult for the chicken blood Cloth to come back then.

Westbrook and Blood Bu were said to be of similar styles back then. Both of them were both physically explosive and passionate. The difference is that Westbrook's serious injury seemed to be a factory renovation, and his return was even more brutal, while Blood Bu was not.

On the Thunder, Westbrook and Duck Egg cooperated to let the duck eggs go to eat the cake.

Yadan met two big men, Daluo and Antetokounmpo, at the basket. They forced themselves to eat cakes and were blocked by two people.

Middleton got the ball and distributed it to Antetokounmpo in the middle.

Antetokounmpo took off his long legs and directly attacked and changed. His stride was too amazing, and he felt like he was about to reach the Thunder basket in just a few kicks.

The Thunder immediately rushed him forward and blocked him, and he distributed the ball to the blood cloth that followed the other side.

After receiving the ball, Xuebu chased after 3 points and shot - short!

Xie Kai closed the board and dribbled over by himself.

Wang Meng sighed: "Antetokounmpo's threat is too great when changing!"

Yang Yi nodded: "The Bucks' outside lines are actually not particularly accurate in three points. The one they are most accurate should be Brogdon, but Xie Kai is the one who defends him!"

On the Thunder, Xie Kai held the ball and picked and rolled the ball with Duck Egg, but Daluo didn't come out at all.

However, Antetokounmpo came to assist in defense. He had long hands and feet, and his speed was fast, and the area of ​​defense was very terrifying.

Xie Kai lamented Antetokounmpo's talent. If such a player practices shooting, he will be a strengthened version of KG.

In today's league, the requirements for the inside are either to pick-and-roll and roll and eat cakes or to open up space and shoot 3 points. The defensive end emphasizes movement speed. If you can have both frame protection, defense and sweep, it would be really beautiful. However, such inside lines are too rare. At present, the closest to this attribute is the Pelicans' Davis Brother, and the other is the Antetokounmpo in front of you.

Like those standing centers, they are easily trained by outside players in pick-and-roll. If they shrink inside, they are easily thrown to death.

Xie Kai did not make a strong shot and transferred the ball to Patterson outside the 45-degree 3-point line on the left!

Patterson scored 3 points - no!

Daluo easily closed the board at the basket and gave it to Antetokounmpo for attack!

Antetokounmpo rushed to the inside again, hit Patterson, and dunked with one hand!

"Oh, this is too exciting!" Wang Meng exclaimed, giving people the feeling that he had done something big with that thing 0.01.

Antetokounmpo shouted a few arrogantly. He had a purpose. He just wanted to do a good job in this game. If he could lead the team to defeat his opponent and play good data, the gap with Xie Kai might be narrowed in the MVP selection.

No one doesn’t want to get an MVP, and they say they don’t want it. Many of them don’t have the chance to get it, while others are humble, not necessarily the true thoughts in their hearts.

Antetokounmpo is very clear that his personal data is not as good as Xie Kai, and his team's record is not as good as Xie Kai's team. The only chance is to win when the two teams fight, and then suppress their opponents with their own data. After all, the MVP is selected by people, not machines. Everyone generally attaches great importance to direct dialogue between candidates, which can leave a deep impression on them.

Xie Kai has two MVPs, and the league actually doesn't want him to have three consecutive games. Antetokounmpo is very clear about this. As long as he narrows the gap with Xie Kai, he will have a chance to win the MVP.

The Thunder team attacked, and Paulo made a single shot from Middleton, and the two sides tied 2:2 at the beginning!

Blood cloth dribbled over and distributed it to Middleton.

Middleton graduated from Texas A&M University and was selected by the Pistons with the 39th overall pick in the second round in the 2012 draft.

After coming to the Bucks, Middleton's bigger was better. In the 2014-15 season, he averaged 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Then that summer, he signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the team.

This season, Middleton averaged 15.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists per game, improving year by year, and it is said that it is very likely to be selected into the All-Star substitute.

As a second round pick, being able to get a fat appointment, having the opportunity to become an All-Star, and even having the opportunity to get a maximum salary in the future, can be said to be quite inspiring.

Middleton has long hands and feet, can break through, shoot, and dominate the ball. He is very comprehensive and good at jump shots. If he has the disadvantage, he is a wing, his speed and explosive power are relatively average, and his impact on the inside is not very strong. When encountering difficult opponents, he will easily be blocked and his offensive efficiency will decrease.
