Seeing Danny come back, the Bucks coach was a little worried.
This guy came back in the finals, and I don't know what his condition is. If he comes back in hot form, it will be difficult for the Bucks to play.
Fortunately, there was still some time, and he had time to plan to the players how to deal with Danny.
After he arranged everything, and when the game started with a few minutes left, the Kings suddenly announced an official news: "Little Danny sprained his ankle during the warm-up just now, and he will not appear today."
In the middle of the game.”
As soon as this official announcement came out, everyone in the Bucks' front office suddenly felt dizzy.
An assistant coach directly swore: "Fuck! They are playing dirty tricks."
Generally, there are many situations like this in the playoffs where various news are released before the game to set off smoke bombs.
Every team will make various revelations to set off smoke bombs during the playoffs, but it is very rare for a player like this to be on the active roster but not play in the first five minutes.
This disrupted some of the Bucks' tactical arrangements.
Five minutes before the start of the game, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.
The Kings' starting lineup changed a lot today, with two starters missing, so they put Westbrook in the starting lineup, and Danny also played today.
Shooting guard: Wang Yi.
Point guard: Westbrook.
Small Forward: Danny.
Power forward: Wiggins.
Center: Bond.
Such a lineup, except for Bond, is very lacking in height.
At Wiggins' age, it is a little difficult to play as a power forward.
The Bucks' lineup has also changed from last year.
Point guard: Irving.
Shooting Guard: The Chosen Son, Bronny.
Small forward: Ingram.
Power forward: Antetokounmpo.
Center: Porzingis.
The reason why the Bucks are able to rise this year is precisely because of Ingram they acquired from the Pelicans this year.
At the same time, Brownie's performance is also very outstanding. The two of them average close to 50 points per game together.
In addition, although Antetokounmpo is 38 years old, like LeBron James back then, his body is also a monster, so he is still averaging 29 points per game.
Together, these three average nearly 80 points per game.
In addition, although Ou Shenxian is slower now that he is older, his ability to control the field is getting stronger and stronger.
His three-point ability has not deteriorated with age, but has become more and more refined. This season, his three-point shooting rate is 42%.
That's why the Bucks can stand out from the rest of the Eastern Conference.
The two people commentating on the Bucks' home game today are James and O'Neal.
When the game was about to start and players from both sides entered the court, NBA President David Silver, who was sitting in a dark corner, felt secretly happy when he saw that the number of viewers on the screen had exceeded 300 million.
This hasn’t officially started yet, and the number of viewers has already exceeded 300 million. So after this game is over, will it be able to break the record for the number of viewers of the World Cup in Qatar that year?
The moment Wang Yi came on the stage, a system prompt came in his mind:
【Please host to sign in.】
"Sign in."
【Sign in successfully!】
[Sign-in reward: 1 super assist experience card! 1 intermediate ghost dribbling experience card]
[Super assist experience card: Assist teammates to achieve a two-point shooting rate of 90% and a three-point shooting rate of 80%. Use time limit: five minutes]
[Intermediate Dribbling Ghost Hand Dribbling Experience Card: The host's dribbling ability will reach the top, and it can make all kinds of incredible dribbling. Use time limit: 15 minutes]
When Wang Yi heard this, he was secretly happy, and another super experience card came.
And this time, as soon as you sign in, you sign out two experience cards, and the system is also generous.
There was a jump ball in the midfield at the beginning, and Antetokounmpo and Bond came to jump the ball.
Although Antetokounmpo is 36 years old, his jumping has not declined much compared to his peak period.
The decline of other people's bodies is a cliff-like decline, but the decline of these two people is a gentle transition, so that you can't even feel their decline.
He jumped on the ball and the Bucks attacked.
After Ou Shenxian dribbled the ball past half court, he handed it over to the younger Brownie to handle the ball.
Ou Shenxian is older than Antetokounmpo, and his physical fitness has declined much more than Antetokounmpo, so now in the first half, he basically hands the ball to Brownie to control the field. If the team is not too aggressive
With strong headwinds, he will not control the field easily. His real battlefield is in the second half.
After Brownie caught the ball, it was Wang Yi who defended him.
Brownie called Antetokounmpo to come up and pick and roll.
Antetokounmpo fended off Wang Yi, and Brownie immediately rushed inside.
As he drew the defense to himself, a back pass was passed to Porzingis in the left corner.
Boshen made a three-pointer.
This three-pointer was easily hit.
Looking back, the Kings wanted to make a fast break, but due to the lack of Danny's absolute speed, the Kings were unable to make a fast break and had to dribble past half-court by Wang Yi.
It was Brownie who came to defend him at this time.
Although this Brownie is not as strong as his father, he has strong genes after all, so his physique is also very strong among defenders.
He kept blocking Wang Yi's position with his body.
But Wang Yi's change of direction was very fast, a simple cross-body change in front of the body, and then he dribbled the ball, took a double step back, and shot a three-pointer directly.
He felt that the opponent threw a three-pointer first and it was necessary for him to respond.
It's a pity that his three-pointer failed to hit.
Looking back, the Bucks launched another attack, still using Brownie and Antetokounmpo in the pick-and-roll.
Brownie went inside, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Irving on the outside.
Westbrook was guarding Irving. Irving made a fake move to shoot a three-pointer. After shaking Westbrook, he dribbled two steps inside and hit a mid-range jumper accurately.
Next, after Wang Yi reached the frontcourt, he also broke into the inside, and then passed a behind-the-back pass to Danny, who was unmarked on the outside.
This is the first time Danny has received the ball in an official game since his injury.
After getting the ball, he felt that the feeling was a bit unfamiliar, especially under the gaze of nearly 20,000 people at the scene. He always felt that the ball was a bit strange in his hand, but there was a big open space in front of him, so he had to take action.
In the end, the ball made a strange arc and got stuck directly on the neck of the basket with a bang.
The fans at the scene burst into laughter.
"This is their three-point rain."
"I think this guy didn't hurt his foot, but his hand."
Upon seeing this, James said: "Danny has just come back. It will take some time for him to find the feeling of playing."
Chapter completed!
