NOVEL WEB Chapter 32
Bucks starting lineup: Monroe, Jabari Parker, Middleton、O.J-Mayo and Antetokounmpo!
The Trail Blazers starters are Meyers Leonard, Plumlee, Aminu, Lin Feng and Lillard!
Monroe and Meyers Leonard come to the center circle for a jump ball!
As expected, Monroe wins the jump ball!
Meyers Leonard: I'm a waste!
Antetokounmpo controls the ball past half court.
This time, Lillard appears in front of Antetokounmpo.
Lin Feng has a more important task in this game, which is to defend O.J-Mayo and Middleton!
In terms of player fame, the Bucks are really not bad!
On paper, they are much stronger than the Trail Blazers!
But unfortunately, the outcome of the game is not determined by the team's paper strength!
Under Lin Feng's suggestion, Lillard directly used the [humiliating] defense method against Antetokounmpo: step back two steps and defend you!
This is the way the Spurs will use to deal with James in the future, and now it is used by the Trail Blazers in advance!
Uh-!
At this moment, Antetokounmpo is a little confused!
Should I shoot, continue to break through, or choose to pass the ball?!
Antetokounmpo was caught in a dilemma, no, a dilemma!
He had never encountered such a scene before!
On the sidelines of the court, Kidd had already frowned!
He was a little familiar with this scene!
It's interesting to say that Kidd often made N shots and 1 hit during his playing career!
This N is not less than 10!
But at the same time, Kidd's three-point shooting number is at the forefront of the league's history!
So, is Kidd a sharpshooter or a blacksmith?
Different games may give different answers!
But at this time Kidd knew very well that Antetokounmpo really had no outside shooting ability!
But not shooting the open ball would hurt morale to some extent!
In particular, Antetokounmpo's core position this season is being challenged!
Monroe and Jabari Parker, the two inside twin towers, are not happy with Antetokounmpo's control of the ball!
Antetokounmpo finally chose to pass the ball!
He passed the ball to his good friend Middleton!
As a second-round pick, Middleton officially played out last season!
This is a very inspirational example!
"I'm rough?!"
"Did I really guard Giannis?"
"In this weird way?"
Lillard scratched his head, still looking very [shocked]!
When Lin Feng gave him advice before the game, he was still a little skeptical!
But out of trust in Lin Feng, Lillard still did it!
Unexpectedly, it really worked! It turns out that defense is so easy!
Lillard felt that he had opened the door to a new world!
After Middleton received the ball, he saw Monroe and Jabari Parker in the interior blocking for the ball at the same time!
But he did not pass it, but chose to play one himself!
Middleton stood on the side of Antetokounmpo, so naturally he would not take the initiative to create opportunities for Monroe and Jabari Parker to play singles in the interior!
""Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Middleton dribbled the ball between his legs continuously!
Little Prince Aminu defended very well!
From the perspective of 3D, Aminu's 3 is not good, but his D is okay!
The overall level is at the league average level, which is enough! Leave the rest to Lin Feng!
Middleton took a step to the right and chose to shoot directly!
At this time, he did not notice that a figure had already killed him from the side!
It was Lin Feng!
After the [Assist Defense] ability was increased to the maximum level, Lin Feng's choice of the timing of assist defense was perfect!
""Bang!"
Middleton avoided Aminu's block, but Lin Feng slapped the ball into the audience!
"Oh! My.god!"
"This bloody block!"
In the audience, the Bucks' home fans exclaimed and subconsciously held their heads!
From Antetokounmpo not daring to shoot when he was completely left alone, to Middleton being bloody blocked by Lin Feng!
The Bucks had a bad start in this game!
What's worse is that several starters on the court seem to have a tendency to fight among themselves!
Monroe and Jabari Parker expressed their dissatisfaction with Middleton at the same time!
Middleton's foundation was still shallow at this time, and he lowered his head and didn't fight back!
Kidd frowned even deeper on the court!
Then he shook his head helplessly!
This season, the team management is obviously not willing to build the team according to Kidd's ideas!
Instead, they are going back to the twin tower route!
In Kidd's view, this is bullshit!
The Warriors are developing towards the [Universe Warriors], you put This is a [Renaissance]!
The point is, can it be revived!
In the past few seasons, the Grizzlies are the last retro team that sticks to the twin towers!
The record is okay!
But they have a tradition of iron-blooded defense!
Conley and Tony Allen on the outside are both defensive stalwarts!
The Bucks obviously don’t have such a foundation!
Moreover, using Antetokounmpo as Conley is simply a waste of talent! It’s all about playing to one’s weaknesses and avoiding one’s strengths!
But the management stuffed this group of people in, and Kidd had to use them!
After all, Kidd has little experience in the coaching world and has not proven himself!
The Bucks continued to attack, and Antetokounmpo sent a sideline ball.
Middleton received the ball and passed it back to Antetokounmpo!
Lillard continued with his two-step defensive strategy, and Antetokounmpo had to shoot this time!
Result……
""Bang!"
Swing your hammer!
In his previous life, when Antetokounmpo reached his peak, he would often shoot a three-pointer as a reward to himself after playing excitedly!
It's not that he couldn't make it at all, but the hit rate and output were unbearable to watch!
Meyers Leonard and Plumlee had a good position in the interior, and the Trail Blazers protected the rebound!
Successful defense!
Lillard controlled the ball through half court.
Antetokounmpo was looking back to glance at his teammates' defensive positions, and suddenly found that Lillard took a side step to collect the ball in the LOGO area and threw it directly!
Are.you.kidding.me?!
Antetokounmpo had a black question mark on his face!
Throw it away just like that?!
Are we really playing the same basketball?
"Swish!"
A long-distance three-pointer went into the bag!
Lillard retreated to the half court with an expressionless face, and his style was at its best!
Emmm...!
Antetokounmpo was silenced!
"Hey!"
Lin Feng looked at Antetokounmpo, then at Lillard, and found it more and more interesting!
The Bucks attacked.
Antetokounmpo was still left open by Lillard this time, but this time Antetokounmpo chose to force a breakthrough!
He had to fight back in the way he was best at!
Otherwise, he really couldn't afford to lose this man!
However, because Lillard himself retreated to the free throw line, Antetokounmpo broke through and found that the Trail Blazers' inside line was full of people!
Monroe and Jabari Parker did not have the ability to open up space!
At this time, Antetokounmpo's physical condition was still a little bit away from the peak!
"Bang!"
Antetokounmpo felt like he had hit several walls in succession!
Just as he was about to throw the ball towards the basket, he suddenly realized that the ball in his hand was gone!
Lin Feng directly let go of O.J-Mayo quickly retreated to the inside and joined in the fun, accurately slapping the ball from Antetokounmpo's hands!
Counterattack!
Charge! Charge! Charge!
