Chapter 554 "Wine"(1/2)
118 to 88.
The Nets finally wiped out the Bucks at the opening game at home.
Antetokounmpo performed well, scoring 27 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the third quarter, especially in the first quarter, scoring 15 points, making his performance eye-catching.
Or, according to Durant, he played like a Spartan Warrior.
Although in the end, just like the protagonist of the story, Spartan king Leodani, he died completely.
In the last quarter, Antetokounmpo sat on the sidelines for a whole quarter, and his mood was extremely depressed.
After all, with Scott's encouragement, he mustered up twelve points of courage to fight the enemy, but the final result was a blow.
After the game, both sides held a handshake gift.
"Hey! Giannis, have you heard the story of the Spartan 300 Warriors?"
Durant suddenly spoke while shook hands with Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo's expression was stunned. He didn't know how Durant knew what he and Scott were talking about.
Could it be that this guy installed a wiretap machine on himself?
"You fight like a Spartan."
What Durant continued to say made him feel much better.
It's still very happy to be from opponents, especially superstars like Durant.
"Although he died in battle like a Spartan warrior."
However, Durant's subsequent words made him froze on the spot.
Lin Ying beside him was stunned for a moment.
Durant's kind of character is a bit defeated in this wave.
It’s also a pity that Antetokounmpo is Antetokounmpo. If it’s Green, he has to do it.
"Why don't you ask me why I said that?"
On the way back to the locker room after finishing the handshake gift, Durant spoke to Lin Ying with a smile.
"That's what you'll do."
Lin Ying replied lightly.
Durant is now increasingly feeling that Durant has a tendency to move online keyboards into reality.
“Is there any?”
"No?"
Durant was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"But I have an idea this time. I want Giannis to play harder. After all, it depends on him to maintain our state in the first round."
This time it was Lin Ying's turn to be stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Durant to have such considerations.
This is how he despises Durant.
However, Durant does not know Antetokounmpo well enough.
With this mentality of Antetokounmpo, if Antetokounmpo turns evil and really gets their feet, they will suffer in the end.
Although Durant has experience, this thing is just like the offense and defense in basketball games. Defense is always passive, after all, it is hard to defend.
"Kevin, stop doing that, have you forgotten why Draymond is so annoying?"
Lin Ying did not say it directly, but asked in a different way.
Durant slapped his head when he heard this.
Maybe the game was too easy this season, and he didn't even realize it.
"I see."
He nodded.
After all, maintaining the intensity of the game does not necessarily have to rely on the opponent, and it is completely possible to practice more.
...
"Matthew, don't do your last dangerous move."
Antetokounmpo sat beside Delavidova and spoke.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Delavidova made a very bad move. It was when Nene was picking up the ball. He fell to the ground and directly clamped Nene's push with his legs, causing Nene to lose the center of gravity.gif.
Thanks to Nene's reaction was quick enough to support the ground with his hands in time, otherwise he would probably be injured.
"Don't you want to win?"
But what he didn't expect was that Delavidova directly asked him.
"Of course I want to win!"
Antetokounmpo immediately raised the volume, which immediately attracted a moment of slanting attention from other teammates.
"But this is not the way. We must be honest and defeat them with our strength!"
It can be seen from sending money to the family without leaving a penny, Antetokounmpo was originally a kind-hearted person;
From Scott taking 300 Warriors to inspire Antetokounmpo, it can be seen that Antetokounmpo met a very positive coach.
After these factors are put together, Antetokounmpo is now such a person, and he hopes to win openness.
But Delavidova's next sentence made him stunned on the spot and fell into a very long silence.
"Is that possible?"
What is soul-questioning?
It is when you tell others that you are determined to marry Liu Yifei as your wife, and then someone asked the same words as Delavidova:
"Is that possible?"
Antetokounmpo said it very much, of course it is possible, but it is so powerless to say this sentence after a crushing defeat.
And, this is when he has performed so well.
In bad terms, the Bucks and the Nets are like kids fighting with adults. No matter how courageous you have, you cannot change the gap in strength between the two.
Unless, like Delavidova does now, use some tricks.
For example, give an adult a crotch attack, such as taking a bite hard.
"No, if we win, we won't get glory, I won't do that."
Antetokounmpo said in a very confident tone.
After saying that, he did not continue to communicate with Delavidova, and took his bag and left the locker room.
At this moment, his back seemed so glorious.
If this is in the anime, you have to match the BGM of "Slam Dunk".
However, looking at Antetokounmpo's figure, two words couldn't help but pop up:
"young."
However, after saying this, another person appeared in his mind unconsciously.
Didn’t James never be such a boy?
Although he did not experience those with James, veteran Ilgoskas always told them about James' glorious deeds back then.
But in the end, even the strongest James chose to compromise and even learned to push people.
Because these are all part of basketball.
Antetokounmpo is still young now, and he will understand this one day.
Although, that might take a little time.
...
A week later, the Nets swept the Bucks 4-0.
Antetokounmpo played very hard, and averaged 25+10 per game in four games. He has been defending Lin Ying for a long time. A player who played in the playoffs for the first time can play such data, which shows the potential of a superstar.
For comparison, Middleton, who was also the first time playing in the playoffs, was the second scorer because Parker was injured and missed, averaged only 15 points per game and had a shooting percentage of less than 40%.
However, Antetokounmpo's performance is not enough to help the Bucks win even a game.
After the last game, Antetokounmpo left the locker room without saying a word.
Then, he went to the bar for the first time in his life.
There he got himself drunk.
He didn't know where he was in a daze, but he knew that when he woke up early the next morning, there were two women lying next to him.
