NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 134 Playing the Bucks in Three Quarters?

Wang Yi would not say such a thing before the game against the Bucks in the third quarter.

After all, the Bucks are the defending champions.

Their championship team is still there.

Coupled with Antetokounmpo's super personal ability, it seems impossible for the Lakers to beat them in three quarters.

But anything can happen in the NBA.

A weak team can also win the first place in the league in an upset.

Now the Lakers have led by 22 points at halftime.

As long as you work harder, win 8 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and widen the point difference to 30 points, wouldn't that be a waste?

Wang Yi's words touched the Lakers players a lot.

If they can win by 30 points, then their main players can clock out of get off work early.

Those players who have been unable to play can also show themselves on the court.

James looked at Wang Yi, his eyes were full of himself when he first entered the league.

At that time, James was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf.

Believe that you are the chosen one.

So no matter who you face, you are full of confidence.

He also once said that he would blow up his opponent in three quarters.

Vogel seemed to be touched when he saw James. Looking at the other players, they were all touched by Wang Yi's words.

He immediately clapped his hands and said in a loud voice:

"As Wang Yi said, we beat the Bucks in three quarters!"

If you can beat the defending champion in three quarters, it will be of great help to improve the players' self-confidence.

Conversely, if you end up losing in the fourth quarter due to excessive force in the third quarter due to lack of physical strength, that's okay.

Just a regular season.

All the players of the Lakers had the same meaning when they saw the coach and James, and a raging flame was ignited in each of them.

All the players formed a circle and raised their fists one after another:
"Fight the Bucks in three quarters!"

Next, Vogel made some very detailed arrangements.

After all, after the baptism of the finals, the Bucks have undergone a qualitative change.

Their tenacity, execution and other aspects have been greatly improved.

So even if the Lakers lead by 22 points, they cannot relax.

……

In the visiting team locker room.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

Lopez is holding a small notebook, holding a pen in his right hand, writing and drawing on the small notebook.

He was writing down the inspiration that popped up in his mind just now.

He has a keen interest in writing novels.

He has written three novels in college.

No matter where he goes, he will bring a pen and a small notebook.

You can write down your sudden inspiration anytime, anywhere.

Middleton is studying the video of the game just now with Antetokounmpo.

Shoe king Tucker is concentrating on wearing the laces of a new pair of shoes, and he will change this pair of sneakers when he plays.

As a shoe king, he has to change his sneakers at least once every game.

If there are too many, you will even change a pair for one session.

There was silence in the locker room.

For 3 minutes, no one said a word.

Seeing this, Coach Budenholzer slapped his hands vigorously and said:

"Hi, hi! What's the matter with you?"

“落后这么点就怂了？20分算个屁啊！去年季后赛我们0比2落后，最终赢了篮网。总决赛0比2落后，最终赢了太阳。现在这22分算什么？屁都不算！”

"All we have to do now is to kill the Lakers' three-pointers. At the same time, we have to shoot three-pointers. Then we will be able to catch up with the score very quickly."

"At the same time, we continued our strategy of attacking that Chinese man. We would rather let James and Thick Eyebrows open than let that lunatic's three-pointer go."

If Wang Yi knew that he was called a "lunatic" by Budenholzer, he would probably feel very honored.

At this time, all the players reacted one after another.

As the current star of the team, Antetokounmpo naturally has to set an example.

He said to everyone:

"We are champions, they are losers! Now is the time for us to show our champion strength and show our resilience. Today's game, we have to get it back!"

Lopez finally put away his little notebook and said:

"Don't worry, coach, we are champions. How could we be defeated by a mere Chinese? It's illogical."

In his words, there is still a deep prejudice against the Chinese people.

……

Finally, the third quarter started.

The fun has begun!

The main players of the Lakers are all there.

The Bucks replaced Portis with Tucker, who has better defense and can shoot three-pointers.

As soon as the Bucks started, Antetokounmpo played hard inside, resulting in 2+1.

I have to say that when Antetokounmpo is physically strong, he is really an alphabet beast.

Looking at the league, no team's inside line can hold him down.

But the Lakers' defensive strategy against him has not changed.

Still insist on letting Antetokounmpo play singles, and at the same time cut him off from his teammates.

On the Lakers side, because Wang Yi was double-teamed, the other teammates had no chance.

Scoring became a lot easier when the Lakers' ball was spinning.

James, Nongmei, Pope and Zhuang Shen, all four of them scored.

It's just that no one expected that the Bucks' three-pointer suddenly opened at this time.

First, Middleton shot a cold arrow and hit three three-pointers one after another.

Holiday hit a three-pointer after borrowing the cover of Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo also tried three-pointers.

The Lakers had to strengthen their perimeter defense.

But in this way, the inside rebound was missed again.

An offensive rebound was grabbed by Antetokounmpo.

Tucker made a three-pointer on the second offense.

The sudden six three-pointers brought the point difference to 14 points.

The Lakers quickly asked for a timeout.

In all fairness, the Lakers didn't play a bad offense when they came up.

It's just that six of the seven offenses the Bucks came up with were three-pointers, and all six of them were hits.

Who can stand this?
Even Pat Riley, the TV commentator of the Lakers on the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh:
"The Bucks' three-point offense came too suddenly and violently. Seven offenses made six three-pointers. If one person hits so many three-pointers, it's better to defend. Now that there are more blossoms, the Lakers want to defend. very difficult."

Sunderland also shook his head slightly:
"This is the confidence of the defending champions. It's fine if they can't open the three-pointer. If they open it, it will be in a row. In the finals last year, their three-pointers hit the Suns many times and they lost their temper."

Pat Riley: "So how do the Lakers respond?"

Sunderland shook his head: "It just depends on how they feel. If they are still hot after playing again, then I'm afraid they're dead. At the same time, we have to see if the Lakers' feel can be improved. Wang was double-teamed and couldn't make a shot. Then the rest of the Lakers had to step up."

……

Back from the timeout, the Lakers' first offense.

The Lakers began to consciously let Wang Yi catch the ball.

They gave Wang Yi a lot of cover.

After Wang Yi got rid of Holiday, he caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

But this three-pointer failed to hit.

The Bucks launched a fast break.

However, the Lakers retreated very quickly, Antetokounmpo failed to make a fast break, and could only pass the ball to Middleton who was outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Middleton felt hot, and after receiving the ball, he shot decisively.

Even though Wang Yi had retreated in front of him, he ignored Wang Yi directly.

When the hand feels hot, no matter who you are, even if there is a defender in front of you, you can still shoot in the face!

However, just as he shot, Wang Yi jumped up immediately.
