Chapter 1288 Tang Tian: Brother Antetokounmpo still has a lot of room for improvement
Barkley hadn't said the "dunk" yet, but he forced himself back.
There was a burst of despair in the eyes of the fans on the scene.
The team cannot start the situation, and the Bucks use the team's best and most lethal one-star shooting style.
As a result, the Pelicans committed an offensive foul at the beginning.
This is really sprinkling a handful of salt on the wound.
Antetokounmpo also turned around to explain to the referee, but the referee did not change the penalty.
Tang Tian’s position was very timely and his fall was very well-placed.
If you take a step back, you have beaten the number one person in NBA history. It’s not appropriate not to brag about you!
Tang Tian was pulled up by his teammates and turned around to catch the ball at the bottom line.
When he first arrived in Milwaukee, when Davis came to apply for a game and was rejected, Tang Tian and Stevens discussed the tactics for nearly an hour.
The focus of the Bucks' playing style is naturally the focus of their research.
Including how to break the Bucks' common 2-1-2 joint defense on the offensive end.
It also includes how to defend the Bucks from one-star shooting style.
Antetokounmpo has the strongest impact league, but its technical shortcomings are still too big.
After practicing for two seasons, his shooting progress was still limited, and he could only open up space but not enough deterrence.
Moreover, his passes have improved relatively small. Unless the opponent double-teams in advance, he will find his open teammates as soon as possible, it will be difficult to pass the ball.
In other words, as long as he gets the ball and plays singles, you know that his idea must be to rush in.
So in terms of defense, the Pelicans used to be textbook-style.
First use Siakam to strongly promote the body to create physical confrontation, so that Antetokounmpo can focus all his attention on people.
Then when he rushed in, someone was already standing in advance at the basket, waiting for him to bump into it.
Tang Tian is that candidate.
Although he hasn't done this for a long time, he has the ability to fake a fall at the level of Valejo.
His strengthened body can also endure such head-on collisions.
The Pelicans attacked in the frontcourt and saw the Bucks change to one-on-one man-marking, Tang Tian also gave the ball to Gasol and asked him to play at a high position to support him.
Redick and Irving had a big problem in confrontation, and the Pelicans had a weak side-standing pick-and-roll opportunity soon.
Gasol gave the ball to Carter who ran to the bottom corner by taking the pick-and-roll.
Carter caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
Three-pointers hollow into the net!
It’s not because of the fact that Old Carter can stay in the league at the age of 42. The 3D style of playing in the last year, coupled with Tang Tian’s head-touching buff, really highlights the word “stable”.
10 to 0!
The Pelicans beat the Bucks up at the beginning!
Budenholzer can only call a pause.
The despair in the eyes of the fans on the scene could no longer be hidden.
The tactics were suppressed, and Antetokounmpo couldn't be opened. Compared with the Lakers, the Bucks played like a younger brother.
The 12-0 record is completely the weakness and false prosperity of the Eastern Conference!
Kenny Smith stopped talking at this time and let Barkley and O'Neal's half-dozen group blew up there.
This year's finals are going to be one-sided.
After the timeout, the Bucks still shot a star.
The change is that Antetokounmpo pays attention to the defense at the basket when he breaks through.
However, Siakam is not a vegetarian, and Antetokounmpo cannot pass him without giving all his strength.
The two of them fought at the free throw line for a while, and Antetokounmpo was forced to turn around and throw the ball to the bottom line.
This is obviously not the offensive method he is good at, so he shot the ball directly across the bridge.
There was an uproar at the scene.
This has forced Antetokounmpo into this, and it’s even a big fuck!
The Pelicans pushed the defense and counterattacked, Brogden accelerated and threw away Irving, took Tang Tian's long throw from the backcourt, and scored another 2 points with a fast break layup.
12 to 0!
"God!"
Barkley covered his face in the commentary seat and couldn't bear to watch it.
Although he and O'Neal both think that the Pelicans will win, the gap is too big.
Irving's singles in the frontcourt faced Brogden and made a three-pointer, finally breaking the scoring drought for the Bucks.
This is true pure personal strength.
However, such scores are obviously too few for the Bucks.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score on the court was 20-5, and the Pelicans took a 15-point lead in half the quarter.
The fans on the scene have gone from the enthusiasm at the opening.
No one likes to be abused.
In the Bucks' offense, Antetokounmpo reached out to ask for the ball to signal to open the singles.
He felt the emotions of the audience and fans, and he had to try again.
Still facing Siakam, his breakthrough was more determined than the last time.
His body is still more dominant, Siakam is already hard enough, but he still can't stand it.
But like before, he passed Siakam, and Tang Tian was already waiting there in advance.
With his physical talent, he forced his brakes and finally stopped hitting him again.
After stopping, he first reacted to finding his open teammates, but the Pelicans' assisted defense rotation was in place.
After the Pelicans studied tactics and conducted targeted training, Antetokounmpo was really restricted.
Antetokounmpo only has one way to play Tang Tian single, but fortunately, she has an advantage in body shape.
He leaned against the back and then turned around and took action.
"Bang!"
He turned around and before he could take action, the ball in his hand had been cut off!
Compared to his impact, his back hit is really worse than James.
This level of back hitting in front of Tang Tian is really a ball.
Tang Tian squeezed over to get the ball and prepared for a fast attack, but Antetokounmpo grabbed him.
The referee whistle sounded, indicating Antetokounmpo's foul.
This is also his second personal foul in this quarter.
After seeing this, Budenholzer had no choice but to replace him with Iliasova.
Antetokounmpo was very upset when he left the court. He played so smoothly in the previous series, but he didn't expect that the first game of the finals would be like this.
It felt like driving a sports car up to 300 on the highway in the no-man's land, but suddenly welcoming a 90-degree mountain turn.
Once he covered his head, he ran into it firmly.
The team boss ended after half a quarter, and the Bucks lost at least half of their combat power.
The Pelicans lost Davis and suffered a lot of losses, but the Bucks lost Antetokounmpo, and their strength may not be as strong as the Celtics who were swept by them before.
Irving and Horford dared to fight, but were unable to turn the situation around.
Hayward had no chance under Tang Tian’s defense, and the game had lost its suspense at this time.
Although Milwaukee fans were full of expectations, reality slapped them hard in the face.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Bucks 113-86 away and won the first victory of the finals.
After the game, Tang Tian and Siakam attended the post-match press conference together.
Siakam performed well in this game. Not only did he score the second highest 17 points in the team, but Antetokounmpo, who was also defending, only scored 11 points.
Tang Tian naturally tried his best to blow at him.
What player with the best performance in the whole team can be selected as an All-Star in a weak team and is the most suitable power forward for modern basketball. It's just that he is more awesome than Davis.
"How do you evaluate Giannis' performance?"
The reporter naturally asked Antetokounmpo's performance.
Antetokounmpo played the worst game of the season, and this kind of problem was like a hot potato to Tang Tian.
After a pause, Tang Tian finally used a more gentle comment.
Chapter completed!
