The Kings led the Bucks by 51 points in the first half, 79:28.
The team only scored 28 points at halftime, which has happened before in the history of the finals.
However, they lost by 51 points at halftime, which was the first time in the history of the finals.
Bucks captain Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 20 points and 7 rebounds in the first half. To be fair, this is a lot.
If we maintain this performance in the second half, it will be 4010.
If he can score 4010 in the finals, he is definitely a guy who can rank high in history.
But the rest of the Bucks were completely restricted.
Middleton was totally off target today.
Holiday was defeated by Wang Yi in the first half and lost his confidence.
The Kings did not double-team Antetokounmpo today, but let Capela and TT take turns to consume Antetokounmpo.
At the same time, he strictly guarded other Bucks players.
If you want to score, you can score, but others can't even think about having an open shot.
Anyway, no matter how many letter points you get, you won’t get as many points as Wang Yi.
Therefore, other Bucks players felt unprecedented defensive pressure today, but Antetokounmpo was more relaxed than before when facing other teams.
As for the Kings, Wang Yi's offensive firepower is simply too fierce.
Made all 18 shots in the first half.
One person can score twice as many points as the Bucks.
How can the Bucks still play?
The voice of the Bucks' home court, King Fake, had completely disappeared at this time.
1/5 of the audience had already left early.
In the finals, the audience showed up early for the first half of the game, which is incredible.
You should know that tickets for the finals are much more expensive than usual.
Since the Bucks are a small-market team, their tickets are much cheaper than other teams even in the playoffs. In the previous three-round series, the lowest ticket for the Bucks was only $52.
In the finals, the lowest ticket in the middle lane soared to $395.
The highest ticket price on the sidelines reached 270,000 US dollars.
This is because of the importance of the finals, and secondly because Wang Yi came back to play in this game.
You must know that Wang Yi's appeal on the court is quite strong now.
No matter which city he goes to play a game, the home court there will definitely be full and there won't be an empty seat.
Everyone wants to come and see this guy who has been cheating for the past three years.
Look at his incredible backcourt three-pointers and those inhuman dunks in the air.
Today, without tickets at such an expensive price, 1/5 of the fans at the Bucks' home court have already chosen to leave. This shows how disappointed the fans are with their home team.
When Xiao Hua saw this, he shook his head.
The data displayed on the tablet showed that the highest number of viewers had reached 120 million just now.
This is obviously because Wang Yi came back today and performed phenomenally.
However, the game completely lost its suspense at halftime, which made many Bucks fans and some neutral fans lose the desire to continue watching.
As a result, the number of real-time viewers quickly dropped.
It has fallen below 100 million.
Now at halftime, there are only 50 million.
Although 50 million is very high, compared with the previous 120 million, it is not as satisfactory to Xiao Hua.
He frowned slightly and began to think about how to restrict Wang Yi next season.
There is no way, Wang Yi is too strong.
It's so strong that other players can't play it.
This will greatly reduce the attractiveness of the NBA.
So in the next game, the referee has to take care of Wang Yi a little bit.
At the same time, let’s see if some rules can be modified next season to limit Wang Yi’s performance.
At least it gives other stars some hope when facing Wang Yi.
…
on site.
Trailing by 51 points at halftime, and with Wang Yi, James and Paul on the opposite side, it was impossible to catch up.
Ray Allen on the sidelines shook his head repeatedly:
"Actually, it's not that the Bucks didn't play well today, but that the Kings' defensive strategy was too targeted. Your Antetokounmpo is hard to guard, OK, so I won't guard him, only other people."
"This has led to the current situation."
Ray Allen went on to say: "The Bucks were defended, and what I want to say more is the Kings' Wang Yi's offense. We all knew that he would definitely break out in this game, but no one thought that his breakout would come.
It was so fierce. He scored 56 points in the first half."
"Having said that, in the last two seasons we have seen Wang Yi score 100 points in a single game, but this season Wang Yi's offensive desire does not seem to be that strong, and the highest score is only 73 points. So do we have any tonight?
Maybe witness a 100+ event?”
"100 points in the finals is really crazy. If I can witness and personally commentate on such a game, my life will be complete."
Van Gundy touched his Mediterranean hairstyle: "I think it's unlikely. Of course, it doesn't mean that Wang Yi doesn't have such ability. If he wants to get 100, it will be absolutely easy with his condition tonight."
"What I mean is that the Kings have led so much tonight, and it is very likely that Wang Yi will not have to play in the fourth quarter, so it is still very difficult for us to expect him to get 100."
At this time, in China.
The Chinese fans have already celebrated the victory in advance.
"The people of Chang'an sent a congratulatory message."
"The people of Handong sent a congratulatory message."
"The people of Jiang Province sent a congratulatory message."
"Ivory Mountain Bigfoot Supermarket sent a congratulatory message."
Some people have even gone over the wall to confront those American trolls.
"What about those guys who said our first brother was not good before? Are they a slap in the face?"
"56 points in the first half of the finals crushed all of your super giants, won't you accept it?"
"Brother is here to conquer the NBA. Brother Yi is not just talking about it."
"How dare you say that our Chinese players are not good? How dare you say that we are bad at playing? If we are bad, then who are you!"
…
In the Kings locker room.
Although the coach, Paul and others have repeatedly reminded the players that the game is not over yet and they cannot take it lightly.
But there's no way this can make the players take it seriously.
After all, they already led by 51 points at halftime.
Even if they pull better in the second half, they won't be able to pull it off like the Bucks did in the first half.
So this mentality of the players is actually understandable.
James was only slightly relieved at this time.
He was the only one who knew that Wang Yi was making a big bet.
He quietly pulled Wang Yi aside and asked in a low voice: "Wang, that bet of yours is too crazy. You are definitely the craziest guy I have ever seen, bar none."
Wang Yi just smiled:
"It's not really crazy, because I know I'm going to hit that guy 100 percent of the time. So it's okay."
James lowered his head slightly, raised his eyelids, and his forehead lines were like three black earthworms across his forehead.
That expression means: Are you crazy?
100% hit on that guy's head?
