April 26, Milwaukee.
Although it was the fourth game of the most critical series, the Bradley Center was extremely cold.
In fact, in the battle of G3, the attendance rate of Bradley Center was not high, and Kenny Smith and Barkley were no longer surprised.
As a commentator, Yujaskip Bayles, the United States appeared as a commentator, was a little surprised-
"There are so many open spaces in the Bradley Center? Are there no fans on the Bucks? This is their life-and-death battle in the playoffs?!"
Barkley spread his hands, and Kenny Smith could only tell the simple-minded guy: "The attendance rate at the G3 Bradley Center is not high, or earlier, the regular season, Milwaukee's market was very sluggish."
In the first decade of the 21st century, Milwaukee's football market was always the last in the league. It was not until the joining of Antetokounmpo and the entry of the new boss that Milwaukee's football market gradually improved.
The Bucks are currently looking for many ways to increase the market and increase their income.
Including the draft selection of Alberta and Chinese boy Qiao Alexander, targeting the Chinese market, as well as various trading markets to strengthen operations, hoping to use their results to improve attendance...
There are still some effects. In the first half of this season, the Bucks' rising record and Jennings' gorgeous scoring performance have indeed attracted a lot of fans.
But for Milwaukee, which had already collapsed to the extreme, this improvement is far from enough.
Just in the extremely cold atmosphere of Bradley Center, the fourth battle between the Bobcats and the Bucks began.
"Andrew Boggart, he squeezed away DeAndre Jordan, and the Bucks won the opening ball!"
"Branton Jennings, quickly take the ball forward..."
"The frontcourt, on the left side of the arc top, and Andrew Boggot gave a cover..."
"Branton Jennings threw away Stephen Curry and made a long two-pointer from the three-point line!"
Swish—!
"The ball has entered, and the Bucks' offense has been very smooth in this game!"
Kenny Smith sighed, but at the same time, he also discovered that Jennings scored at the beginning, but the Bradley Center did not react much.
"This game is really meaningless."
Li Ke also felt it was boring. Originally, he was planning to use a return of the king to fight back the remarks that the outside world said that he was restricted by Tony Allen.
But now, facing the atmosphere of such a stadium, he really can't raise any motivation.
On the court, turn around, the Bobcats' offense, Curry plays singles.
One is to want to give another one, and the other is that the Bobcats' established tactic is to take the ball first to attack and open up the situation.
At the beginning, Curry replicated Jennings's style of play, but his jump shot after the screen achieved completely different results.
With a clang, the basketball hit the frame.
The same offense at the beginning showed different results, which seemed to indicate that the game was not simple.
In the following few rounds, this unexplained premonition was verified.
"Stephen Curry, I tried the touch outside the three-point line... I still didn't get in!"
"Turn around, the Bucks' offense...it's still Brandon Jennings, the same strong three-pointer from the outside!"
Swish—!
"The ball has entered!"
"The game lasted about four minutes, and the Bucks played a completely different performance from the first three games. They have scored 12-4 and scored 8 points!"
"Branton Jennings made great contributions, he scored 8 points on the offensive end, and he also successfully limited Stephen Curry, who performed well in the past three games."
The beauty also said at this time: "If Brandon Jennings can continue to be popular and lead his teammates by the way, this game may have a different result."
Hearing this, Barkley felt that the business was coming: "So, Skip, do you think the Bucks in this game can beat the Bobcats and refuse to sweep?"
The beauty is not beautiful Yang Yang and has no passive skills to be slapped in the face. He alertly avoided: "I'm just guessing, Charles, everything depends on the subsequent pause. Is the Bobcat's adjustment effective, right?"
After four minutes and 8 minutes behind, Rivers could no longer sit still.
On the sidelines, a crisp whistle sounded, and the beauty paused in her mouth.
The atmosphere in Bradley Center was still very sluggish. Li Ke, who walked slowly to the sidelines, found that Curry's performance in this game was to force him to play.
That's right, Li Ke believes that the Bobcats's backwardness in the beginning of this game is that Curry is the only one who can't attack or attack, and he can't defend himself.
At this time, the bobcat really needs him to come forward and solve the problem.
"Stephen's condition is a bit bad. Sheldon, you need to stand up and attack."
Li Ke felt that there was no problem, so he nodded.
Rivers also showed great confidence in Li Ke, so he turned his head and pointed at Hua Lao Er: "Gerard, your backup defense and assisting defense should be faster. In the next game, I will see Brandon Jennings's dull fire."
What this adjustment needs to solve is Jennings' problem.
As the regular season rookie single-game scoring champion, once Jennings goes crazy, it's still a bit scary.
Just make up for defense and assist in defense faster, Hua Lao Er had no problem, so he immediately gave an OK gesture.
When the pause is over, the Bobcat's adjustment will also appear immediately.
"The Bobcats kicked off on the sideline, but Stephen Curry took the ball through half..."
"After half the game, he passed the ball, and it was Sheldon who received the ball."
"So, in the end, did the Bobcats still hand the ball to Sheldon?"
At this time, the beauty can finally get to the point: "We can finally test Tony Allen's defense. Sheldon's downturn in the first round of the playoffs is whether the puzzle can be solved because of Tony Allen's defense."
This is the purpose of Beauty's commentary on joining this game.
Although the topic of "Tony Allen locked up Li Ke" was not so hot before the game, it was also a topic no matter what. Beauty thought that he could have more discussions on this topic in a divergent way.
The key is whether Li Ke's performance can continue to continue in this game where the Bobcats are about to sweep the Bucks.
To be honest, the beauty was a little panicked when she saw that Li Ke was about to start playing singles.
He knew that in the first three games of the first round of the playoffs, Li Ke's performance was just a bit soy sauce and was not sluggish.
In this game, everything went smoothly, and it was okay, and Li Ke would continue to make the soy sauce.
But now, the situation forces Li Ke to no longer have any soy sauce.
This means that there are only two ways to go before Bobcat and Li Ke.
Or, as discussed by the outside world, Li Ke really lost to Teacher Tony's defense, the Bobcats fell into a tough battle, lost or struggled to win by defending.
Or, Li Ke tried his best to smash Tony Allen's defense and lead the team to win easily.
The beauty wanted to see the former, but on the court, Li Ke had already set up a formation, and turned back the moment he turned his back.
After just one turn, Li Ke had already rushed past Tony Allen.
Of course, Teacher Tony's defense was not that simple. He quickly decorated Li Ke and continued to entangle with his flexible little body.
But at this time, Teacher Tony's entanglement with Li Ke could not pose an effective threat.
Unless the Bucks divide another defensive player to assist in defense of Li Ke.
But Scott Skeles has always been holding on to the idea of ​​using Tony Allen to solve Li Ke alone, and assisting in defense, and other things are destined to be without it.
Without assisting defense, Li Ke rushed to the basket, raised his left arm to block Tony Allen, and flew into the air, raised his huge right hand and easily sent the ball into the basket.
"Is this the restrictions on Sheldon by Tony Allen?"
In the commentary seat, Barkley spread his hands, and he wanted to laugh a little.
Before the game, the beauty Yang Yang and the beauty jointly advocated Tony Allen's restrictive effect on Li Ke. As a result, when Li Ke really started to be serious, Tony Allen's defense was about to collapse.
The beauty who was commenting on the spot was also spreading her hands, but deep down, he was already thinking about it.
At the same time, deep down, he was shouting: "Tony Allen, give me some strength!"
On the court, Li Ke knew very well why this ball was so easy. To be honest, Teacher Tony was careless.
In this series, most of Li Ke's offenses were taken when they were off the ball, and even when they were caught, and most of them were stealing chickens near the low post.
I have only a handful of times of playing the ball, let alone singles when I set up a formation.
So, when Tony Allen saw Li Ke turn his back, his first reaction was that Li Ke would open up the situation like the regular season, just like in the regular season.
His single defense has always been radical, and he was even more so when facing Li Ke's back, so he immediately put it on.
Who would have thought that Li Ke suddenly changed his style and just pretended to move his back. When Tony Allen approached him, he turned around and accelerated and quickly opened the distance.
As long as you get the space for breakthrough and Li Ke, who has a more advantage in physical fitness, will be unstoppable.
These are the reasons above that lead to-
On the sidelines, when Skyles wanted to adjust, Tony Allen waved his hand, meaning: Believe me, I can do it!
The Bucks quickly counterattacked, and Jennings, who scored continuously, was already full of confidence, but after the timeout, the Bobcats' defense was extremely fast, and Hua Lao Er quickly held Jennings close.
Facing the clamp defense, Jennings made a move straight, without any intention of passing the ball.
With a clang!
The basketball hit the frame...
Speaking of which, Jennings has an offensive talent, but his choice of attack is very problematic.
In the first three games of the series, he could still remember Skeles' advice and pass more balls.
After losing three games in a row, Jennings had already put the passing matter behind his head, especially in this game, when his condition was so hot at the beginning, it was even more impossible to pass the ball.
The Bobcats' defensive adjustment is successful at this point.
What we need to watch next is Li Ke's singles.
Teacher Tony has waved his hand and refused to help his teammates defend. What Li Ke needs to face in this singles is Teacher Tony's single defense.
This time, Teacher Tony was serious. Even though Li Ke had his back, he stretched out his right arm and held a safe distance of half of his body while holding on to Li Ke.
The space for turning around was not big, so Li Ke was not in a hurry. He raised his butt and crushed it toward the basket.
Two or three steps, Tony Allen could not stand Li Ke, so he could only retreat passively.
When Li Ke suddenly turned around, he continued to choose a stable defensive strategy, keeping a distance, preventing breakouts and shooting.
Li Ke stopped suddenly and tried to surrender, forcing Teacher Tony to get close.
Then he collected the ball and accelerated forward. In this way, he passed Teacher Tony again...
Commentary, Beauty Yu no longer said, Tony Allen's single defense is just this?
Obviously, both Mei Renyu and Mei Yang Yang underestimated Li Ke's singles ability.
The reason for underestimation is actually very simple-
First of all, most of the memories of the beauty Yu and Mei Yang Yang are still stuck in last season. Last season, Li Ke did not have a breakthrough in the S-level. There is indeed not much help to face a tangled defensive player like Tony Allen.
The stormy bobcats at that time also needed Li Ke to stand up and score.
By this season, with the blessing of the S-level breakthrough, it is difficult for the entangled defensive players to withstand Li Ke's impact.
Even if he could block Li Ke with consciousness in one round, Li Ke could still rely on fake actions and then tear away the opponent's single defense again.
If one fake move is not enough, then another one will be done...
The singles just now are an example. If one is not enough on the back, then the crushing and pushing forward will add a turn. If one is not enough on the turn, then the fake shot will add another.
Anyway, the rhythm is Li Ke. No matter how good the opponent's defensive consciousness is, he cannot judge every continuous wave of fake moves against Li Ke.
As long as there is a mistake, Li Ke can rely on his unparalleled physical fitness to crush the opponent and score the ball.
At the beginning of this season, there is no big difference between Bobcats and last season.
In the second half of the season, Li Ke's singles success, Rivers joined, Curry was activated, and the Bobcats didn't need Li Ke to force singles to score.
It can only be said that the beauty Yu and Mei Yang Yang never realized that Li Ke's singles were already at the level of historical bugs.
Scott Skeles, including, failed to realize this.
It can be said that there are only a handful of players in the league who can lock Li Ke by single defense.
The main reason is that the conditions are too harsh. Not only must the defensive consciousness be top-notch, but the body must also be able to withstand the impact of Li Ke, whose speed is S-level.
Looking at the current alliance, only Lebang, the number one, p.j. Tucker, can do these two things.
As a result, Tucker is still his own person...
Speaking of Tucker, he has been on the bench for two seasons with the Bobcats.
When Sam Vincent coached, he had no chance at all. If it were Rivers, he still got some time to play.
It shouldn't be far from Tucker's talent fulfillment.
...
On the court, Li Ke scored two consecutive singles, and Skeles made another adjustment gesture.
Even if you are as confident as Teacher Tony, you have to accept the reality that must be adjusted.
Next, Li Ke continued to play singles with the Bobcats' attack.
Although there was more assistance in defense, Li Ke still fought for a while without any timidity.
After a wave of time difference, Li Ke faced a double attack and sent the ball into the basket.
In this game, Li Ke couldn't fight one and two like he played magic.
But as long as the opponent's assisting defense is in place, the teammates' offense will have room, and the Bobcats' offense will be alive.
Chapter completed!
