Vol 3 Chapter 695: War Bucks

"Super Heavy Artillery (
On November 11, the Thunder played against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Compared to the "perfunctory" of the previous game, Donovan was very cautious in this game. He did not continue to take the player rotation because it was the second back-to-back game. The two brothers Westbrook and Adams were removed from observation and "returned from injury."
Before this game, the Bucks, like the Thunder, won the victory and avoided losing streak. And both teams have only lost 2 games since the start of the season. Because the Thunder played one more game than the other side, they led the Bucks with only 7 wins with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the league. As for the first place, it has once again been replaced by the Nuggets with 8 wins and 1 loss.
As the season progresses, the league's powerful players chase after me, and the records are quite close. In the West, in addition to the Nuggets 8 wins and 1 loss, there are two teams with 8 wins and 2 losses, and three teams with 7 wins and 2 losses. The difference between No. 1 in the West and No. 6 in the West is only one game. Although only one-eighth of the game has passed, such a situation has never happened in years.
Therefore, the Thunder want to stabilize their second heart, and even further, every next game is crucial. Whether their opponent is the Warriors or the Bucks, they must try their best to win.
The Bucks have the same plan. Last season, they had a very good record in the regular season. But the results of the playoffs did not meet everyone's expectations, which made the Bucks players headed by Antetokounmpo very upset. This season, they have played extremely confident and aggressive since the opening game. Especially Antetokounmpo, as the new MVP crowned last season, he naturally does not want to see the drama of last season repeat itself.
The Bucks released Brogdon in the summer, which worried Milwaukee fans. However, judging from the performance after the start of the season, Brogdon's departure has little negative impact on the Bucks. Especially in the case of Durant unable to play normally, the Bucks are still the most likely team in the East to hit the championship.
In fact, from the perspective of overall strength changes, the prospects for the Bucks to win this season are even more optimistic than last season.
Eastern rivals, Leonard travels west, the Raptors no longer have FMVP players to stop the Bucks. The departure of the 76ers Butler and the departure of the Celtics Horford and Morris made the two teams that were already less powerful. As for other teams, the heat that made people shine at the beginning of the season can barely be seen. As for the Nets, which everyone is optimistic about before the season, whether they can play depends on Durant's injury. The Nets, led by Owen alone, are not worth mentioning.
As for the West, there are a few teams that can match the Bucks. But no matter which team finally broke out, the Bucks will not be afraid. The Lakers double stars, but other players are much worse than the Bucks; the Clippers have difficulty running in, the lineup structure has fatal flaws, Rivers is also unable to climb out of the quagmire of the new and old lineups, they have to react well with the team chemistry , The tactics are mature and efficient for the Bucks contest, this year I feel little hope; the Warriors who could hold the Bucks to fight last season have fallen apart. Only the Thunder, whether it is the talent of the players, the structure of the lineup, or the running-in of the team, will not be worse than the Bucks. Moreover, the Thunder have more experience in the playoffs and finals than the Bucks.
Therefore, Budenholzer, Antetokounmpo and others attach great importance to the game with the Thunder. As the saying goes: know yourself and your opponent, and you will never end up in battle. No matter how much I watched the video, I don't have as many things as I can learn from a live ammunition.
In this game, the Bucks are led by Antetokounmpo and Middleton, with strong players Bledsoe, Matthews and Lopez. This set of starting lineup, both offensive and defensive. The Thunder's side is naturally still their old style.
After the game began, Adams helped the Thunder get the ball for the first offense. He slapped the basketball in front of Gallinari, who handed it over to Westbrook.
Westbrook, who received the ball, rarely did not start to advance with the ball, but looked at the left side of the front court and immediately threw the basketball over. It turned out that when Adams batted the racket to Gallinari, An Luo still started to move. He speeds up and rushes towards the right, then turns back and crosses the free throw line to outside the left three-point line. Matthews, who followed Anlow, was blocked by Robertson and lost his best defensive position.
After receiving the basketball, Anluo didn't hesitate at all, and directly bounced his legs and threw the ball in front of Matthews, who was leaping towards him.
"Huh!"
The goal is scored!
As the clear sound of basketball brushing the nets reverberated over the arena, the Thunder fans on the scene cheered, and then each sat back in their seats~EbookFREE.me~ The Bucks did not because of this one. Feeling unwell after scoring a goal. As a well-known scorer in this league, An Luo's performance has long been known to the public. This is similar to an open three-pointer. It would be surprising if An Luo couldn't make it.
Bledsoe took the ball across the center line and then passed it to Antetokounmpo, who was standing outside the right three-point line. The latter retreated slightly with the ball, and then started. At this time, the Bucks' inside player Lopez has already come to the three-point line. Antetokounmpo, through the opposing pick-and-roll screens, thanks to Robertson's entanglement, strode into the penalty area.
A big man with a height of more than 210cm is no slower than a defender. Coupled with that pair of long legs, Antetokounmpo started from outside the three-point line and only took two steps inside the three-point line. Layup.
This is the bare talent crushed! In this case, if you insist on defending, you will basically get a foul.
2:3
The first round was evenly divided.
The Thunder continued to attack, Westbrook shook Bledsoe with a crossover and rushed into the free throw line. However, the Bucks' penalty area was guarded by Lopez, and he was still a little bit embarrassed. But at this moment, he saw An Luo in his peripheral vision. The latter made a big circle, and finally got a chance in the right corner with two off-ball screens.
The basketball was naturally passed by Westbrook, and Anlo took the ball without delay.
"boom!"
The ball was missed!
Immediately, Chesapeake Energy Arena sounded a sigh.
An Luo was also taken aback! Then he couldn't help shook his head, and quickly retreated back.
No one can throw all the balls! However, the feeling of missing the ball still made An Luo very uncomfortable!
