As time passed by, James had no choice but to tank and break through, wanting to break into the penalty area and then pass the ball.

But as soon as he broke into the penalty area, Antetokounmpo and Lopez double-teamed him again. If he wanted to pass the ball again, it was too late, so he had to make a hasty shot.

Bang, the ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced out.

Lopez withstood James, Antetokounmpo grabbed a rebound!

With 8 seconds left in the game, the Nets trailed by 3 points, but James had no choice but to hug Antetokounmpo and send him to the free throw line.

Antetokounmpo stood on the free throw line and took a few deep breaths.

His characteristic is that the free throw time is very long, so Antetokounmpo is often booed when he is away.

This time, his free throw time is still very long, but the home fans are waiting patiently.

Many fans covered their eyes, watching through their fingers, as long as one penalty was scored, the game would be over.

Whoosh!
Boom!
Antetokounmpo missed the first free throw and bounced out.

There was a burst of regret from the fans at the scene.

Brother Antetokounmpo held the ball again, took a few deep breaths, shot steadily, and swiped!

bingo!

The difference of 4 points is basically won!
The Nets called the last timeout, but it was also the last struggle.

After the timeout, Joe Harris sent a sideline ball and passed it to Durant. The Bucks still double-teamed him. Durant didn't make a phone call and passed it to James.

James saw that time was running out, and passed the ball to Joe Harris.

Joe Harris made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, swipe!
Really entered!

But with only 1 seconds left, the Bucks had the ball.

After Antetokounmpo received the ball, he threw it high into the air, and the game ended!

105: 104!

The Bucks defeated the Nets with difficulty at home and advanced to the finals!
James and Durant fell again in the second round.

This is the second year since they entered the Nets, they stopped outside the Eastern Conference Finals.

James went straight back to the locker room without saying a word.

And Durant and the Bucks players hugged and congratulated one by one.

It's not easy. After so many years, the Bucks finally made it to the finals.

They will face Xu Feng from The Return of the King.

Two stars, one man, one city, confront each other head-on.

At the beginning of the season, no one could have imagined this result.

The media and fans are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming finals, and they all want to know whether Xu Fengfeng will win the fourth championship, or Antetokounmpo will become an upstart and win his first championship.

Xu Feng watched the whole game, and he was very impressed with Antetokounmpo.

Although in the previous regular season, the Lakers defeated the Bucks, but through these rounds of the playoffs, Antetokounmpo has evolved again.

His performance at critical moments is superstar.

The reason why the Nets lost the game was that at the last moment, neither James nor Durant could stand up.

After Antetokounmpo grew up with his teammates, he also evolved into a very dominant superstar.

In the Lakers' pre-match training, Xu Feng focused on rehearsing the defense and restrictions against Antetokounmpo with his teammates.

Xu Feng asked McGee to imitate Antetokounmpo, rush to fight, and then asked his teammates to help defend and block.

The outside players also conducted targeted defensive training on Middleton.

Lin Shuhao, Livingston, Westbrook, the three formed a team, watched Middleton's various breakthroughs or shooting details, and then pondered ways to limit him.

Three days later, the NBA Finals of the 19-20 season finally started.

At the press conference before the game, Xu Feng and Westbrook were interviewed by reporters.

"Mr. Xu Feng, the Bucks are your first new opponent in the Finals. Do you think there is any difference between the Bucks and the previous Cavaliers?"

Xu Feng thought for a while and replied: "Actually, the difference between the two teams is quite big. With James, the Cavaliers have the brains on the court, and the configuration of other players is very reasonable. The configuration of the Bucks is more tacit. All positions have grown up slowly, and their tacit understanding is better."

"Then which team do you think is more difficult to play?" The reporter asked reluctantly.

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head: "We haven't played against the Bucks yet, so I don't know how to answer."

The reporter was very disappointed, and looked at Westbrook again: "Mr. Westbrook, this is the second time in your career that you have entered the finals. What do you think?"

Westbrook smiled and said: "I'm very excited, really, I didn't sleep well last night, I still can't believe it until now, I really entered the finals, this feels great!"

"What do you think of the Bucks' style of play? Are they against the Lakers?"

Westbrook shook his head and said: "Impossible, our Lakers have no nemesis, and there is no such thing as a nemesis. We attach great importance to every opponent and will take it seriously in the game!"

The reporter was very satisfied with Westbrook's answer, and looked at Xu Feng again: "Mr. Xu Feng, how is your body recovering? At least in the previous three rounds of the series, your body seems to be fine."

"Yes!" Xu Feng nodded, "I have no physical problems at all. If necessary, I can play for 48 minutes, haha!"

When the reporters saw that Xu Feng was in such good condition, they all applauded and gave Xu Feng a thumbs up.

……

The Bucks also held a press conference, and Antetokounmpo and Middleton were interviewed.

"Mr. Alphabet, this year you defeated a strong opponent and reached the finals. How do you feel?"

Alphabet just smiled politely, then put away his smile, and said seriously: "It's all over, the game has just started now, and we are ready!"

The reporter was shocked by Antetokounmpo's attitude.

"Then do you know enough about the Lakers? They have won three championships."

Antetokounmpo nodded and said: "We know the Lakers very well and know that they are difficult to deal with, especially Xu Feng, who has great strength on both ends of the offense and defense. But we believe in ourselves and believe that we can beat them in seven games !"

The reporter asked Middleton again: "Mr. Middleton, you have a very important position in the Bucks game. Facing the Lakers with a strong defense, can you score like you used to?"

Middleton is a person who is not very good at words. He simply replied: "I will try my best to do it. In the regular season, I can average 20+ per game against the Lakers, so I am very confident."

Judging from the answers of the two, the Bucks are still very confident.

At eight o'clock in the evening, at the Staples Center, the first game of the finals began.

The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, it is still Xu Feng, Westbrook, McGee, Kuzma and Lin Shuhao.

In the last game, Kuzma was temporarily placed on the bench, mainly to allow Ellington to mark Leonard, and the bench can grab points.

The Bucks' starting five are Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Lopez, Matthews, and Bledsoe.

Since both sides have made sufficient preparations, both sides played very cautiously when they came up.
