Original title: Bucks Green Army tiebreaker preview: Double third to defend the home letter is the most difficult challenge?
On May 15th, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs will continue. The Boston Celtics will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks in the semifinal tiebreaker at home tomorrow.
Now that the series has been played, the Bucks and Celtics have no secrets at all.
On the Bucks side, the hope of winning is destined to be in the hands of Antetokounmpo. In this round of competition, Antetokounmpo’s personal output is epic again. After 6 games, Antetokounmpo averaged 35.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game.
In the game where the Bucks lost to the Greens at home, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 44 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. After becoming O’Neal and Chamberlain, he was the third player in playoff history to offer this kind of performance. performance player.
It can be said that in this round of the series, in order to limit the letters, the Green Army’s defense is doing everything possible. They once used the tactics of full-court attack, used the short and stout Grant Williams to personally consume him, and used experience. The rich Horford went against it, and he also used Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who were more athletic, to be tough with him. But all these counterpoints failed to produce the desired effect.
With Antetokounmpo, Holiday has undoubtedly become the most stable support point. In the 6 games of the series, Zhu Ge took on more tasks of scoring with the ball when Middleton was unable to play, which also led to a rapid decline in his efficiency, and his shooting percentage dropped to 35.3%.
But at the critical moment of the game, when Brother Zhu was able to take a short break from the exhaustion of the tug-of-war, his big heart output on the offensive end and his top judgment in defense still showed from time to time. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the scene where Holliday had two key defensive lessons at the last moment, Xinke DPOY Smart, was even more wonderful.
In contrast, the core Tatum output of the Green Army is not so stable. In the third game of the series, he had the embarrassment of only scoring 10 points. However, in the next three games, Tatum got better and better, his score from 30, to 34, and then to 46 points on the ball was a straight increase. G6, Tatum also had the last laugh in the game with Antetokounmpo’s “fight with gods”.
And beside Tatum, there are more reliable helpers. The first is Jaylen Brown, who averaged 22.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 6 games in the series. G2, which is Brown’s 30-point output, holds a victory for the Green Army at home. In G6, his output of 22 points and 4 three-pointers also gave Tatum a great help.
Of course, there is also Horford, who scored 30 points in Game 4 and took over the game in the distal quarter, becoming the green army to win the game. And Smart scored 21 points in G6, which also compensated for his mistakes in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
In the next tiebreaker, Antetokounmpo and Tatum’s superstar dialogue, of course, is still the main theme of the game. Of course, in this fast-changing series, there will always be surprise soldiers, and for any team, a temporary lead in the game, or even a double-digit lead is not safe.
The bad news is that on the night of the tiebreaker, Middleton, the Bucks’ second-in-command, was still unable to return, which is quite obvious for the loss of combat power for the away side. Of course, on the side of the Green Army, the inside gate, Robert Williams, is also in a state of doubt.
To paraphrase the words of the coach of the Green Army, Uduka, “Our two teams are evenly matched… The Bucks have championship blood… Their home and away performances are very balanced, and the outcome is in one or two rounds… But the North Shore Garden Arena will be played tomorrow. It’s going to be very shocking … the decibels out there are unprecedented in this series, and we want that to continue.”
And also today, a giant mural of Brother Antetokounmpo was unveiled in Milwaukee. The mayor of Milwaukee even announced the matter on social media. Obviously, at the juncture of the battle of life and death, this move will also give Brother Antetokounmpo and the Bucks The whole team brings extra fighting power. (Poirot)Return to Sohu, see more
