As soon as Wang Feng reaches the last two minutes of the game and the situation is in a stalemate, he will suddenly have a fit and make whatever shots he takes. This is no secret in the league.
Whether in the regular season, playoffs, finals, or even international competitions, Wang Feng has proven this with his actual performance.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are determined to defeat the Cavaliers, how could they not know and consider this?
But this kind of thing is not useful because of careful consideration. Just like they also very seriously and rigorously arranged the defensive strategy against Wang Feng, but they still allowed Wang Feng to score 60 points in three quarters.
Therefore, when the countdown to the game time entered the last two minutes, Wang Feng took off directly from a position more than one meter away from the three-point line. Antetokounmpo, who was guarding him, reacted very quickly and immediately stepped forward to interfere with the shot. His defense was very good.
In place.
However, Wang Feng's shooting angle is very tricky. Not only does he jump very high, he even has some backwards.
Antetokounmpo was speechless when he saw that his desperately stretched out hand still almost touched the basketball.
He pulls up more than one meter away from the three-point line and actually leans back. This shot is too difficult, right?
Antetokounmpo, who landed on the ground, looked back and watched the basketball fly towards the basket, and then directly hit the net.
"brush!"
Such a difficult shot was actually made!
The Cavaliers home fans cheered loudly on the sidelines.
Wang Feng, the king of the final quarter, started to exert his strength! Although the Cavaliers were still 1 point behind even if they made this three-pointer at this time, they acted as if the team had already taken a big lead.
The Bucks had the ball. Antetokounmpo held the ball and forced his way into the basket, causing damage and causing a foul to go to the free throw line. He steadily made both free throws and the point difference returned to 3 points.
But such a point difference does not give the Bucks any sense of security.
Just watching Wang Feng receive the serve from his teammate at the bottom line of the Cavaliers, the Bucks players, coaches, and even the fans couldn't help but get excited.
This guy got the ball again, come and guard him!
However……
"brush!"
Another ruthless and unreasonable three-pointer. No matter how Antetokounmpo defends, as long as he can't directly block the shot, it seems that Wang Feng can throw the damn ball into the basket.
The scores between the two teams were officially equalized, but the mentality of the Bucks had exploded.
Returning to the Bucks' round, Antetokounmpo held the ball and continued to drill deep inside. However, due to his impatience, he was accidentally double-teamed by the Cavaliers. Wang Feng suddenly burst out from hiding on one side, cut off the basketball from Antetokounmpo's hand, and then
Then he ran towards the front court.
The Bucks, who had no way to stop Wang Feng's attack, had no choice but to commit a tactical foul and send Wang Feng to the free throw line.
In this way, in just a few rounds, the Bucks inexplicably changed from the leader to the laggard.
At this time, there was not much time left in the game, and the Bucks had no choice but to try a three-pointer from the outside to reverse the situation.
But with the mentality completely unbalanced, Middleton, the Bucks' most accurate outside player, also exploded.
After some running and no-ball coverage, Antetokounmpo attacked with the ball to attract the attention of the Cavaliers' defense, and then passed the ball to the outside. Middleton made a three-pointer in a wide open space, but the shot missed the frame.
Looking at the rebound that hit the back of the basket and bounced high, Antetokounmpo wanted to make one last move, overpowering Wang Feng and Jarrett Allen to grab the offensive rebound, and immediately took off twice after landing.
Going for a two-handed dunk.
However, under Wang Feng's interference, his movements slowed down a bit and revealed quite obvious flaws. Jarrett Allen saw the opportunity and slapped him away with a big hat.
The rebound that was slapped away was eventually picked up by the Cavaliers, and the Bucks could only immediately use foul tactics to steal the few offensive time.
For the Bucks who lack firepower from beyond the three-point line, even if foul tactics can buy a lot of time, if they cannot efficiently score three-pointers, they are just drinking poison to quench their thirst.
…
A few minutes later, the Cavaliers' home court was filled with cheers from fans.
129:125, the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks at home and won a good start!
But what makes the fans more excited and excited than this victory is that they personally experienced the birth of a legendary record in today's game.
"What a wonderful offensive and defensive battle."
O'Neal sincerely praised, "Looking at the history of the league, such a huge scoring scene is extremely rare."
"Yeah, if someone had told me before that there would be two players who could score more than 130 points in a game, I would have thought that guy was absolutely crazy." Barkley shook his head, "Now
I just felt like I was crazy because this scene really happened in front of my eyes!"
"Wang Feng scored 74 points! Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 60 points! These two opponents teamed up to give us a scoring battle. This is also an unprecedented game in NBA history where two players scored 60+ points at the same time in the same game!"
"More than that! Wang Feng's 74 points broke the record for the highest individual score in a single game in the playoffs! There is no doubt that the two of them are the strongest superstars in the league today!!!"
…
60 points, which is Antetokounmpo's personal high score in the playoffs. Despite his superb performance, he did not feel any joy and was even very frustrated.
After all, he had already reached this level, but he still couldn't defeat Wang Feng. He really didn't know how to defeat this bug-like existence.
In just one game, everyone on the Bucks, including leader Giannis Antetokounmpo, lost their nerve.
You must know that this is just the Cavaliers after all, not the Lakers who won three consecutive championships!
On April 30, the G2 game of the series will continue at the home court of the Cavaliers.
Compared with the exciting offensive battle in G1, the process of this game did not seem so "exciting".
Mainly for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's state has dropped a lot compared to G1. Although he can still maintain the average level during the regular season, it is obviously unrealistic to defeat Wang Feng just by relying on that level, let alone
In this game, the Cavaliers' outside shooters began to recover.
After a poor performance in the first game, head coach Bickerstaff carefully analyzed and studied the Bucks' oppressive defensive tactics from the outside, and changed the Cavaliers' outside shooting tactics.
The three-point shooters got more open shots in the second game. With the blessing of Wang Feng's ten-cent badge, their touch naturally gradually recovered.
This directly caused the Bucks to fall behind by more than 10 points at halftime. They were suppressed by the Cavaliers throughout the entire game and eventually lost the game 116:121, with the total score coming to 0:2.
The Cavaliers actually led the championship-favorite Bucks 2-0, which disappointed many experts who predicted before the game.
Even though the Cavaliers have maintained a high winning rate during the regular season, most people are still not optimistic about the Cavaliers' performance in the playoffs. After all, the regular season and the playoffs are two levels of confrontation intensity.
It is simply unrealistic for a three-point shooter to achieve the same success in the playoffs as he did in the regular season.
But Wang Feng was too buggy. Faced with the collective inaccuracy of three-point shooters in G1, he actually scored 74 points in a single game to turn the tide, directly defeating the Bucks. Who could have expected this?
According to this trend, it is not impossible for the Cavaliers to take away the Bucks 4:0 in one go!
To the relief of Milwaukee fans, what they feared did not happen.
In the third game of the series, the two teams came to Milwaukee, the home of the Bucks, to play. The Bucks at home did not give up on themselves, but all members showed extremely tenacious willpower and stepped on the edge of the cliff.
Half of the foot was lifted back.
At 116:109, the Bucks won the G3 game and regained a victory. The total score became 1:2. Although the Bucks were still at a disadvantage, the lack of a match point by the Cavaliers was enough to boost the morale of the whole team.
.
On the other side, Wang Feng was quite helpless after missing the match point.
This Cavaliers team is no different from the previous Lakers team in terms of strength and mentality.
The problem with G3's failure still lies in mentality.
The eagerness to win the match point made the entire Cavaliers team quite anxious. Moreover, the desperate Bucks made more defensive moves than in the previous two games. The advantage of the home whistle also made it difficult for their big moves to go off.
post.
If it were the Lakers, these comprehensive factors could completely crush them with their strong strength, but if it were the Cavaliers, they would only capsize in the ditch.
On May 3, G4 of the series will continue at the Bucks' home court.
The Bucks fans all cheered their home team desperately. After all, if they can win this game, the total score will return to a 2:2 tie. When both sides return to the same starting line, they will
There is still hope of winning.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
In the crucial G4, the Cavaliers had the last laugh.
Wang Feng once again scored high scores, with 56 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, and abruptly turned the Cavaliers, who were still lagging behind in the first half, into a comeback.
This victory was undoubtedly a heart-wrenching victory.
With a big score of 3:1, the Cavaliers already hold the match point. They only need to win one of the next three games to eliminate the Bucks and advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
Although the Bucks were very tenacious and won the game in G5 at the Cavaliers' home court, chasing the score to 3:2, Wang Feng and the Cavaliers did not continue to give them a chance.
In G6 on May 9, the Cavaliers won 112:108 at the Bucks' home court, officially defeating the Bucks, and eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks with a total score of 4:2 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Bucks lost.
Not many people would blame Bucks leader Giannis Antetokounmpo.
In 6 games, Antetokounmpo's performance was impeccable. With an average of 40 minutes per game, Antetokounmpo averaged 35.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists. He played the most representative series of his career. Unfortunately, he encountered
Wang Feng is even more defiant than him.
Wang Feng averaged 43 minutes per game in 6 games, averaging 46 points, 11.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game. His super high personal score plus a standard triple-double per game would be exaggerated to anyone looking at it.
Moreover, the Bucks are currently in disarray, and the team is missing John Wall, one of the Big Three.
Since Wall did not join the Rockets in this time and space, most fans still remember him as a high-quality point guard who averaged 20+9 per game and was full of impact.
If Wall can stay healthy, the Bucks will definitely be stronger and may not necessarily lose to the Cavaliers.
But there are not so many ifs in this world. If you lose, you lose. The Bucks' playoff journey ends here. Even if Antetokounmpo is unwilling, he has no choice but to wait until Wall returns next season.
Thinking about revenge against the Cavaliers.
…
The Cavaliers, who eliminated the Bucks and entered the Eastern Conference Finals, currently have no idea who their opponent will be in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Because in the conference semifinals on the other side, the Nets and Celtics are still fighting fiercely.
Before the two teams started fighting, most people actually thought this was a showdown with little suspense. The Nets' lineup was far ahead of the Celtics in terms of depth, so the showdown in this series was actually much better than the Celtics.
If the Cavaliers vs. Bucks are better, guess more.
But who would have thought that the Cavaliers had already eliminated the Bucks 4:2, but the game between the Nets and Celtics was still inextricable.
In the G6 game just one day ago, the Celtics won the game with difficulty 119:118, tying the total score to 3:3. The two teams will have a final tiebreaker two days later.
The Celtics were able to fight the Nets in seven games, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
This season's Celtics have shown exceptionally strong combat effectiveness in the playoffs, and can handle it even if the Nets' three giants show off their power at the same time.
The team's first core, Jayson Tatum, averaged 29.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.2 assists in 6 games. In terms of scoring, he is second only to Durant, who averaged 31 points per game for the Nets. He has already shown the status of a superstar.
The Celtics' rotation lineup is obviously better than the Nets, which is full of superstars but lacks role rotation players. This is also the reason why the two teams can compete so hard.
As a time traveler, Wang Feng doesn't know who of the two teams will have the last laugh, because in another time and space, the Nets were swept out by the Celtics 4:0 in the first round.
But that Nets team obviously had many more problems than the Nets in this time and space. The combination of Ou Shenxian and West Giant Baby made Durant cry without tears.
There is no mask problem in this time and space. Although Ou Shenxian occasionally does some tricks, it does not affect the team. George is even better than Simmons by who knows how many levels, so the Nets can maintain such strong competition.
force.
To be fair, Wang Feng also thinks that the Nets will most likely advance between these two teams. Durant still has some cards, and as long as his teammates are not particularly cheating, he can still lead them.
Sure enough, in the tiebreaker on May 12, the Nets had the last laugh at their home court, winning the game 108:95 and successfully entering the Eastern Conference Finals.
The showdown in the Eastern Conference Finals has been decided, Cavaliers VS Nets, another confrontation between Wang Feng and Durant.
The four teams in the Western Conference also decided the winner.
Unexpectedly, the Golden State Warriors, ranked first in the Western Conference, once again encountered the Los Angeles Clippers, ranked fifth in the Western Conference, in the second round.
The Clippers, who endured the pain of completely sealing off Westbrook in the playoffs, relied on James and Leonard to explode into great combat effectiveness in the playoffs. They actually played seven games with the Warriors and finally defeated the Warriors 4:3.
, eliminated the Warriors and advanced to the second round.
On the other side, the second-placed Pelicans in the Western Conference and the third-placed Lakers also played a tiebreaker. Unexpectedly, the Pelicans, equipped with the Big Three, were overturned by the Lakers. The core of the Lakers, Jimmy Butler, played the best game of his career.
His performance in the series, averaging 28 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, proved that even without Wang Feng, his ability to lead the team is still worthy of trust.
Chris Paul, who partnered with the big-browed brother Davis and the fat tiger Zion Williamson, once again stopped in the conference semifinals. If he had not reached the Western Conference Finals once when he partnered with Harden, I am afraid that the title of Floor Man would be lost.
Accompany him throughout his life.
Clippers VS Lakers, no one thought that the Lakers after Wang Feng left the team and the Clippers who could not get rid of Westbrook would still be able to face off in the Western Conference Finals.
