Chapter 901 Victory Is in Sight!

Facing the Bucks' crazy Big Three, the Warriors suffered a small loss in G2 of the Finals because they were inferior to their opponents, and the big score in the Finals became 1-1.

This is a perfect start for the Warriors playing on the road.

Not only did he win a game at the Bucks' home court, but he also found the correct way to deal with the Bucks through these two games. This is very important.

So even though G2 lost, in the post-game summary meeting, Warriors head coach Cole could only be described as full of praise for the Warriors players.

As Cole said: "We have nothing to review for our loss in this game. Each of you performed very well. If you continue to play like this, the final championship will definitely belong to us."

Yes, as long as they can continue to play like this, this year's championship will definitely belong to the Warriors. Cole is very confident about this, and this G2 game also made the Bucks players very confident.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger. This loss allowed the Warriors players to thoroughly see the depth of the Bucks.

This makes the Warriors players very confident when facing the Bucks.

Returning to Golden State from Milwaukee, after the Warriors recuperated for two days, G3 of the Finals will continue on June 8 at the God of Basketball Arena in Golden State.

Before the start of this game, Warriors fans who were originally very stressed have now become very relaxed and looking forward to it.

Even TNT's live broadcast team couldn't help but sigh when they saw the situation of the fans in Golden State and Oakland at this time: "If the Bucks cannot find an effective way to deal with it, then the championship in this finals will belong to the Warriors. And God Chen will fulfill his promise and win the NBA championship for the eleventh time in his career!"

Yes, for many people at this time, if the Bucks cannot find attrition tactics to deal with the Warriors, then this finals will really be over.

Therefore, from this aspect, G3’s Little Heavenly King Mountain will become particularly important.

Because of G3, we can see whether Ray Allen and the Bucks still have room and opportunities to adjust.

If Ray Allen and the Bucks successfully find a way to deal with it in G3, then even if the Bucks lose in G3, everyone can still have expectations for the Bucks.

If the Bucks don't find a way to deal with it and still rely on the Big Three's overdraft-like madness, even if the Bucks win in G3, it's hard to believe that they can persist until the end.

Therefore, at the pre-game press conference on June 8, many reporters were asking Ray Allen about his views and preparations for G3.

Ray Allen's answer is also quite intriguing: "As an NBA head coach, I have never felt that any tactics or system can have such a big effect. God was able to win ten championships in the NBA not because of him. The team has higher tactics and a stronger system, but it is because of God.

In the NBA, the essence of basketball is the players. Even if there is a dog tied next to our coaching bench, I think we can make it to the end. "

After Ray Allen said these intriguing words, everyone couldn't help but look sideways. Of course, after looking sideways, they also praised Ray Allen's wit. He basically didn't say anything, but he said everything.

He and the team couldn't find a way to deal with it.

At the same time, he is also telling his players that talent is the decisive factor in the NBA.

This is actually true. If Durant and Antetokounmpo Curry can be as crazy as G2 every game, the Warriors will definitely not be able to beat the Bucks.

Just like the 2003 NBA Finals, the Nets faced the Lakers' OK combination. In this finals, Kobe averaged 40+ per game and O'Neal averaged 30+ per game. It can be said that this is almost the strongest duo. , if it weren't for Chen Xiao's performance in that finals that Barkley will forever remember as the first performance in history, the Nets would not have been able to win, let alone sweep the OK Lakers.

But in the end, the Nets swept the Lakers. Is this a tactical issue? Is this a system problem? This is a human problem!

The Bucks have three superstars: Durant, Curry, and Antetokounmpo.

In the NBA, superstars can create miracles.

As long as each of these three people can create a miracle in the future and win the game, then the Bucks will win 4 games.

This is Ray Allen's idea of ​​unifying the team, and it also supports the craziness brought about by Durant in the last game.

At the same time, it also helps to cool down the public opinion that the Bucks are dying now.

Ray Allen's meaning has been very obvious. Don't look down on us so much. With the Big Three, we will always have an indestructible insurance!

In last year's finals and this year's Eastern Conference finals, the Big Three all performed superbly and eventually came back to win.

But what’s interesting is that when faced with Ray Allen’s words, a reporter from Los Angeles jokingly asked, “Ray, do you think there is anyone in the world who can match God in terms of creating miracles?”

As soon as the Los Angeles reporter asked the question, Ray Allen fell silent.

At this time, he could only remain silent. Because of Chen Xiao's past record, if he said that the Big Three were above Chen Xiao, he would definitely be ridiculed, and his previous words would also be ridiculed.

If it is admitted that the Big Three are not as good as Chen Xiao in creating miracles, then it will be a huge blow to the team's confidence.

In this pre-match press conference, he changed his usual style and said so much. Isn't it just to increase the team's confidence?

Therefore, faced with this extremely heart-wrenching question from the Los Angeles reporter, Ray Allen finally chose to remain silent without saying anything and left.

As for the reporters at the scene, many of them laughed after Ray Allen left. For a while, the press conference was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Let's just say that no one believed what Ray Allen said.

If you face the Lakers and Heat, everyone believes that your Big Three are indeed unmatched in the league, but facing Chen Xiao...

In Chen Xiao's career, has he ever been defeated by a miracle?

there has never been!

Because Chen Xiao himself is recognized as a miracle!

Ray Allen's attempt ultimately failed during the pregame press conference.

In the evening game, facing the crazy Warriors fans in the God of Basketball Arena, Ray Allen was expressionless, but he was still very helpless in his heart.

After winning the last game, the Bucks' biggest task as a team in the past three days is to unify their thinking.

That is, in order to win the Finals, the team allowed Durant, Antetokounmpo and Curry to play in their own way.

For the Bucks, even if they don't win the finals this time, they still hope that Durant and Curry Antetokounmpo are healthy.

For the team, the championship is just a championship, and has no other meaning. Well, even if it is meaningful, it is to sell more tickets, and the Bucks with Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo are the best at the box office. Bucks.

If either one of the two is injured, the Bucks' box office will be greatly affected.

Therefore, whether it is for the team or the health of the players, the Bucks do not allow Durant and Curry Antetokounmpo to work hard.

This is a contradiction.

In the past three days, Ray Allen has only resolved this contradiction.

As for the rest, there is really nothing he can do. Now he really can only place all his hopes on the players themselves.

Whatever he wanted, he had to fight for it, and all he had was support.

On the night of June 8th at the Oakland God of Basketball Arena, the game was about to begin, and the starting players of the two teams had once again stood on the court.

The starters for the Warriors are Chen Xiao, Wiggins, Klay, Alexander, and Morant.

The Bucks' starters, Portis, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Curry, Morant.

There are no changes in the starting lineups of the two teams compared to the previous game.

"It seems that our expectation that the Bucks and Ray Allen can respond tactically and systematically is too unrealistic."

After seeing this starting lineup, TNT's vicious commentator Maizi said disappointedly. He didn't know whether he was saying he was unrealistic or that Ray Allen was not as strong as he imagined?

I'm afraid only Maizi himself knows this.

As the NBA's famous venomous tongue, he never hides his blackness. Thinking about it this time, maybe it's because he is unrealistic, rather than because he wants to accuse Ray Allen of being incompetent.

Only in this way can we understand and explain it.

After all, most people already knew the result after watching the last game. They just felt a little unwilling to be completely controlled by the Warriors in the finals, so they had some feelings for Ray Allen and the Bucks. Just unrealistic expectations.

Impractical, after all, is just impractical.

The real reality is that in this game, on the road, the Bucks will still have to go into full-fire mode like the Big Three did in the last game.

The difference between this game and the previous game is that the Warriors have home court advantage in this game.

Therefore, in this game, the Warriors' defensive intensity is even greater.

Therefore, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Clay, their consumption is naturally greater.

However, the Bucks' Big Three are indeed amazing.

Even though the Warriors have targeted them like this.

In the first quarter, when all three of them were on the court, the Warriors were even more disadvantaged than they looked in the previous game.

In the first quarter, the Warriors, led by Morant, lost at home 30-35 by a full five points.

Five points, this point difference is very embarrassing, not only for the Bucks, but also for the Warriors.

This is a critical point for safety margins.

If the lead is larger, Ray Allen will definitely be able to get more rest time for Durant and the Big Three in this game.

If the lead is smaller, Ray Allen and the Bucks won't have to worry. Before the game, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Curry expressed that if possible, they would not hesitate to play the whole game in order to win this game. .

But now, this critical point difference makes it difficult for Ray Allen and the Bucks to fight, and they dare not repair. In short, they are very entangled.

I didn’t dare, but Ray Allen didn’t hesitate too much.

Soon, he asked for a timeout again and took Durant and Antetokounmpo who had just rested for less than 2 minutes.

What happened on the court?

Very simple, Chen Xiao hit two super three-pointers one after another.

One is to switch positions to play Curry in singles, and the other is to switch positions to play Holiday.

Let's put it this way, after Antetokounmpo and Durant came off the court, the Bucks, who originally had no big center and no interior defense, were almost beaten by Chen Xiao.

This is no joke.

Chen Xiao is too powerful in the rotation. Chen Xiao has the strength and technical advantages to play Portis in the inside.

If Chen Xiao rotates and brings outside players to play, the defensive players outside, whether they are Curry or Holiday, will be useless.

It can be said that facing teams with big centers such as the Heat, Lakers and Cavaliers, the Warriors' offense will never dare to make such mistakes.

Chen Xiao doesn't have such a strong bounce under the basket now, and he doesn't have that good ability to escape from the outside.

Basically, whenever Chen Xiao faces a team with a big center, he can only float outside and shoot.

But the Bucks don't have a big center.

After Dream Green left for the Mavericks for a big contract, the Bucks didn't have a good enough single-defense player to guard Chen Xiao, and often had to give the opportunity to Chen Xiao to shoot.

And this game is really a classic.

On the court, during the rotation phase of the second quarter, Chen Xiao, who was full of offensive desire from the beginning, directly caused the Bucks' rotation to collapse.

Facing the Bucks' rotation that has collapsed, what do you think Chen Xiao can do?

Of course, we will continue to pursue and fight fiercely!

Therefore, in the end, Ray Allen was frightened and quickly went to Durant and Antetokounmpo, who had only rested for less than two minutes.

The two made an immediate impact on the field.

At the end of the half, the Bucks also led by 2 points, 67 to 65, entering the third quarter.

The script is basically the same as the last game.

This all makes people doubt that the Bucks won another game by relying on the madness of Durant and the other Big Three, right?

If it really ends up being 3 to 1, then Chen Xiao really doesn't dare to be too confident.

Fortunately, the sequelae of the last game still broke out on Durant and the Bucks' Big Three.

If we say that the first half of this game was a stage for the Bucks' three giants.

Then the second half was the time for the Bucks' Big Three to hit the ground running.

There was no way. After the Bucks' Big Three fought hard in the last game and half of this game, they finally had physical problems. The final result was that the Bucks' shooting percentage dropped off a cliff in the second half. .

In the third quarter alone, the Warriors led 33 to 27 by 6 points. After the current three quarters, the Warriors' lead had become 5 points.

And this really left the Bucks speechless.

The trend of this game has once again become clear.

In the end, the Warriors, playing at home, defeated the Bucks 124-118.

And the big score in the finals became 2-1!

The Warriors are finally over.

At the same time, in this game, the Bucks' Big Three all scored 30 points.

For the Bucks, Chen Xiao made 15 of 25, 10 of 15 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 46 points.

The Bucks eventually lost Tianwangshan.

The Warriors, on the other hand, lead the Bucks 2-1 in the finals. It seems that victory is in sight!
