Chapter 902 All in One Go!

In G3 of the Finals, the Warriors were reversed by the Warriors in the second half after leading for half a game, and ultimately lost the battle at Xiaotianwangshan away from home. This once again tilted the balance of the championship towards the Warriors.

The Bucks have no choice in the face of the Warriors' physical conspiracy. Now they are lagging behind by a big score. They originally wanted to fight for the stable offense of the Big Three, but the Warriors still have Chen Xiao, the most stable offensive player in NBA history. exist.

To be honest, if the Bucks want to compete with the Big Three, they can really do it against other teams, but they really can't do it against the Warriors.

When the Bucks face other teams, other teams simply don't have players that are as strong as the stable offensive capabilities of the Bucks' Big Three.

So even if our defense is not strong, the opponent's shooting percentage may not be as high as our Big Three.

Just like in history, Durant faced the defense and shot more than 70% from the field. This is higher than the open shooting rate of other superstars.

Coupled with Curry and Antetokounmpo next to him, how can an average team withstand this?

Even if the tactical system is completely inferior, it can be made up for by the abilities of the players.

But the Warriors have Chen Xiao.

In this G3, Chen Xiao scored 46 points, and his shooting percentage was 15 of 25 and 10 of 15 three-pointers. In this game, Chen Xiao shot all kinds of three-pointers from outside the three-point line. That was really impressive. The Bucks shot desperation.

After an average player scores a few three-pointers, even if he is allowed to shoot, he may not be able to score.

However, when you face Chen Xiao, you have to strangle Morant. If Chen Xiao is outside the three-point line, he can really hit it all the time!

If the Bucks want to compete with the Big Three, of course they have to strangle Morant, who can score simple points, lock up the paint and the three-point line, and let the Warriors shoot three-pointers. This is a gamble. If you don't have a big center, you can't With the Lakers running like that, facing the Warriors, you can only choose one of the two.

If you were Ray Allen, you would also choose to push the Warriors' offense to the outside.

Otherwise, if Morant is allowed to attack the inside like crazy, he will only lose both inside and outside.

Originally, this strategy was successful because it put great psychological pressure on other Warriors players when shooting three-pointers.

Durant and Antetokounmpo Curry's offensive efficiency is so high. When you shoot three-pointers, do you worry about your shooting percentage not being enough? As your hit rate becomes more stable, the pressure on you will increase.

Even if you have a good three-point shooting ability, you won't be able to perform well in the face of such pressure.

but……

Chen Xiao made 10 of 15 three-pointers in this game. When the Warriors needed to hold on to the score and needed three-pointers, Chen Xiao made almost all of them.

Yes, regardless of Chen Xiao's shooting percentage of 10 out of 15, anyone who has watched the game knows that when the game is going strong, almost all of Chen Xiao's shots go in.

Chen Xiao's shooting percentage in this game is even more than 90%, and all of his scores are big points, all of which are impressive super scores.

In this game, Chen Xiao not only led the team to hold on to the score and finally complete the reversal, but also eliminated the suspense of FMVP after the Warriors won the finals.

This is even more important than victory.

Morant's performance in the previous two games was very good, averaging more than 33 points per game, which can be said to be evenly matched with Chen Xiao.

In this case, it is inevitable that Morant will undergo some psychological changes in subsequent games.

Chen Xiao is not the kind of player who clings to honors. If the Bucks are not strong, Chen Xiao will even give up his FMVP.

It's not like Chen Xiao never gave up the MVP and FMVP. If Chen Xiao had been willing, it would have been absolutely impossible for Chen Xiao to be tied for MVP or FMVP when he teamed up with Roger Wade.

Chen Xiao doesn't value FMVP. He no longer needs this thing to enhance his status.

But other people need it. If the teammate who needs it has enough strength to get it by himself, he will applaud him and take the initiative to give it up. But for the time being, he does not have the strength. If he really wants to force himself, it will hurt the team.

Therefore, in this game, Chen Xiao scored 46 points and Morant only had 18 points, which completely stopped Morant's thoughts. This is actually a very good thing for Morant and the Warriors.

Of course, Morant did not have unnecessary thoughts because of the end of this hope.

Because in this G3, Chen Xiao's performance was indeed too strong.

Chen Xiao is not that tall and not that fast, but his super strength and confrontation, super high armband and super strong shooting make him a killer in this game.

The Bucks go from position 1 to position 5. As long as it is one-on-one, Chen Xiao only needs to use strength and confrontation to hold the opponent down, and no one on the other side can stop Chen Xiao.

With such a strong one-on-one confrontation ability, coupled with such good outside touch, Chen Xiao is really invincible in this game.

So much so that at the press conference after the game, Bucks head coach Ray Allen was desperate and helpless, because the Bucks really won this game in 40 minutes!

At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks still led by five points.

But in this game, Chen Xiao continued to play the entire quarter in the fourth quarter, and the game lasted 48 minutes. Is this really a 40-year-old veteran?

The Bucks lost by 11 points in the final fourth quarter and almost collapsed, all because of Chen Xiao's leadership. With Chen Xiao on the court, can the other Big Three of the Bucks rest in the fourth quarter?

In this game, the Bucks' Big Three, Durant, played 48 minutes, while Curry and Antetokounmpo played 46 and 44 minutes respectively.

When the game was over, the three of them were almost exhausted.

Let’s put it this way, if Chen Xiao didn’t still come on the court as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter, and still very bravely scored 12 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, let’s put it this way, his and the team’s strategy in this game was true It can be successful.

"In my coaching career, the stupidest decision I have ever made was to make a decision that consumed God's energy before the start of this finals."

These were Ray Allen's exact words at the post-game press conference. These words were quite heartbreaking.

But this is a true fact. Just as Chen Xiao played 48 minutes in G3 and brought down the Big Three of the Bucks, who would have thought that he was a 40-year-old veteran?

Chen Xiao's physical strength is even stronger than Chamberlain's back then.

No wonder many Asian media said that Zhang Erwan was not enough in front of Chen Xiao.

I have to say that some Japanese and Korean Asian media are worthy of trust.

Ray Allen certainly couldn't have just said these words at the post-game press conference.

Ray Allen said a lot in this post-game press conference, which can basically be understood as his heartfelt words as the finals are coming to an end.

Yes, in the understanding of many people, Ray Allen showed weakness in this post-game press conference.

However, in the face of Ray Allen's show of weakness, when Chen Xiao responded to a reporter asking what he thought, Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Can we automatically win the championship?"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the reporter who asked this question smiled awkwardly. Of course, he couldn't win directly.

Chen Xiao's answer is really interesting. If he can't directly bring a championship to the Warriors, no matter how much Ray Allen says, there is no need to listen.

Unless Ray Allen tells the league that I can't beat him and I surrender.

Otherwise, don't underestimate a dynasty-level team, and the Bucks are a dynasty-level team!

Therefore, Chen Xiao and the Warriors are still very vigilant, and the Bucks' Big Three counterattack was really fierce in this game. If it weren't for Chen Xiao's excellent touch in this game, the Warriors would really have been defeated by the Bucks in this game. The team's Big Three won the game.

Therefore, the victory in this game not only gave the Warriors a victory in the game, but also gave the entire Warriors team a false alarm.

This made many players in the Warriors team who felt that the finals were safe were really shocked at this time, and they no longer dare to underestimate a team like the Bucks.

Of course, this is the internal view of Chen Xiao and the Warriors, but as far as current public opinion is concerned, basically everyone feels that the Warriors are destined to win the championship.

The Bucks' struggles in G3 made the Warriors look more secure in their championship.

Therefore, on TV and on the Internet, everyone is discussing what kind of big score the Warriors will use to defeat the Bucks in this finals.

Many people even think that the Warriors can win the trophy at the Bucks' home court in the next two games.

At this time, the optimism for the Warriors is simply incredible.

Fortunately, such public opinion has no impact on the Warriors.

I just don’t know what impact it will have on the Bucks.

Will it hurt the Bucks' confidence, or will it stimulate the Bucks' confidence?

On June 11, 2022, the G4 game between the Warriors and the Bucks will continue to be played at the God of Basketball Arena, the home of the Warriors.

Starting from the G3 game, the interval between finals games has become two days. This is a favorable thing for the Bucks.

At the very least, most of the feeling of exhaustion the Bucks' Big Three had after playing the last game has disappeared.

If the games were still played one day apart, let's put it this way, the Bucks would just admit defeat in G4.

Of course, although there is an extra day of rest in the middle, the fatigue from the last game cannot be said to be gone.

What's more, you got a lot of rest here, and the same goes for the Warriors. Even the Warriors players were not that tired because of the last game, so after the start of this game, you can clearly feel the Warriors players. Much more energetic.

Whether on offense or defense, the Warriors played very fiercely after the start of this game.

"The Warriors want to win this game at their home court!"

"As long as we win this game at our home court, the Warriors will have a great chance of winning the championship!"

This is foreseeable. If the Warriors lose this game, the suspense of the finals will be completely high. Even after giving the Bucks players some chicken blood, it will be difficult to say that the Bucks are stronger. Can rand and the others fight it off?

Therefore, for the Warriors, if they want to win this championship, they must win this game.

Therefore, as soon as this game started, the Warriors' starting lineup was on full fire.

And because of Chen Xiao’s superb performance in the last game, in the first quarter of this game, facing the Bucks’ tight three-point line defense, Alexander, Klay, Wiggins, Chen Xiao Hit three-pointers one after another.

In a single quarter, the Warriors even made 9 three-pointers!

In the entire first quarter, the Warriors scored 42 points in a single quarter. Although the performance of the Bucks' Big Three was still stable, as soon as the first quarter started, the Bucks fell behind by 9 points 33 to 42.

Compared with the last game, this is really completely different.

Moreover, after the first quarter of this game, the Bucks never caught up with the score again.

I don’t know if the Bucks let it go on purpose after the first quarter, or if they really couldn’t catch up. In short, after the Warriors started this game in the first quarter, they played very easily, and finally in The home Warriors defeated the Warriors 130-116.

Even after three quarters of this game, the Bucks' Big Three of Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo did not play again.

Of course, Chen Xiao only played three quarters in this game. In the three quarters, he made 8 of 16 shots and scored 25 points.

In this game, because his teammates played very well, Chen Xiao also played very easily.

Therefore, after watching this game, many experts and fans were actually very confused.

Are the Bucks really going to give up on this year's finals?

In this regard, TNT's on-site commentator Vicious Maizi frowned and guessed: "When the Bucks choose such a defensive method, their control of the game is no longer controlled by them. The Bucks will definitely be the same in this game. They don't want to let it go, but since they want to be in the three-point line, then if the Warriors make three-pointers, then they have no way. For the Bucks, the very desperate thing now is that they If they want to win, they no longer only need to look at their own performance, but also the performance of the Warriors."

I have to say that Maizi's guess is quite reasonable. At least, after Maizi finished speaking, Chris Webber next to him nodded repeatedly.

This is the finals. Which player would give up on the finals?

Unless you have to give up.

Regarding the performance of the Warriors in the first quarter of this game, the Bucks also tried their best, but in the end they were slowly pulled away. Then there is really no way to do this.

Although Durant and the Big Three of the Bucks are really fighting for this finals, they will not fight in this kind of game that is destined to be fruitless. If they are really injured, then it will really be The gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, passively choosing to give up after running out of options in this game is also to prepare for the next game.

Although the Bucks have lost this G4 game and are already behind 1-3, as long as they can win the next game at home, the Bucks still have a chance.

"We must try our best to win the next game!"

After G4, Cole found Chen Xiao alone and expressed his thoughts.

I don’t know if I thought about it with Maizi.

"If we can't win the next game smoothly, G6, I'm afraid many of our players will be under pressure."

The Bucks forced the Warriors to three-point play, which was a great test for the psychological pressure of the Warriors players.

so……

For today's warriors, morale is something that can only be boosted up, but cannot be vented.

As long as it leaks, there will be variables!
