In the substitute matchup, the Lakers had the upper hand at the beginning. Ding Yanyuhang and Morris felt hot, hitting three-pointers and mid-range shots.

But the Bucks' substitutes also found the feeling later and began to chase points.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 35:30, and the Lakers led by 5 points.

Although Xu Feng didn't play, he was not idle, and he was always on the sidelines cheering for the substitutes.

He knew very well in his heart that today's substitute is very important, because the difference between the main players of the two sides is not too much. If the substitute loses too many points, it will be difficult to play in the second half.

"Nene, get into position, don't jump easily!"

"Xiao Ding, voted, don't hesitate, you're fine!"

"Ellington, don't foul, pay attention to your position!"

……

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' substitutes once again had the upper hand, and the point difference widened.

The Bucks coach felt that something was wrong, so he quickly called a timeout and wanted to replace the main force.

The Lakers did not change their main force and continued to let the substitutes be on the court, because they played well just now, staying on the court is to motivate the players.

But after Antetokounmpo came on the field, the defensive area in the interior was too large, it was simply a no-fly zone inside!

The Lakers couldn't stand the bench anymore, and the Bucks scored 5 points in a row.

D'Antoni wanted to call a timeout, but Xu Feng noticed that the Lakers' substitutes were not convinced, and Shu Hao and his teammates were discussing something in a low voice.

Xu Feng still knows Shu Hao very well. He has a very high golf quotient and can also serve as a coach on the court.

In the substitute lineup, he unexpectedly had a stroke of genius and made countermeasures with his teammates.

Sure enough, in the next round, the Lakers came off the bench and focused on the perimeter, while on the defensive end, Nene and Ellington flanked each other.

The Bucks were actually restricted. The Lakers scored two consecutive rounds off the bench, which also caused Antetokounmpo's mistakes.

Xu Feng and his teammates off the field were overjoyed. They waved towels and jumped up and down, forming the atmosphere group of the Lakers.

Brother Antetokounmpo is in a hurry, this is the first game, if he is replaced by the Lakers, how will he play next.

So Antetokounmpo began to work hard, catching the ball in the paint and dunking continuously.

Nene really can't prevent Brother Antetokounmpo.

The difference between the two sides narrowed to 2 points, and the Lakers temporarily took the lead.

The Lakers called a timeout and wanted to change their main players.

Although the point difference was forced to close, the Lakers also played well off the bench, consuming the stamina of the Bucks and saving stamina for the Lakers' main players.

A game is like playing chess, it depends on the overall situation, and you can't care about temporary gains and losses.

At 7 minutes and 34 seconds of the second quarter, the main players of the Lakers played, and the two sides fought in the final battle of the first half.

The main force of the Lakers is full of energy. As soon as they play, under the leadership of Xu Feng, they put a lot of pressure on the Bucks.

Xu Feng continued to look for opportunities to single-play Brother Antetokounmpo.

Brother Antetokounmpo has also learned to be smart. He no longer defends Xu Feng alone, but calls his teammates to assist in defense.

Although he is tall and looks very brave, Antetokounmpo is a star with a high golf quotient, he will not be arrogant, and has been singled out with Xu Feng.

As long as the team can win, he can lower his posture.

Besides, with Xu Feng's status in the league, wouldn't it be normal to have the upper hand?

This season, if Xu Feng can win the championship, then Xu Feng can be discussed as the top five in history.

Four championships, four MVPs, this honor is really too hard.

However, Xu Feng has never publicly discussed this topic in the media.

His attitude is similar to that of Jordan. There are so many outstanding players in history, and he has never played against them. Of course, he cannot be sure that he is better than others.

For example, Malone and Barkley, if they changed the era, they would still be kings. Unfortunately, they lost a lot of honor when they met Jordan.

Both sides played very hard, and Xu Feng felt unprecedented pressure.

If the battle against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals in those years was entangled by the Warriors' strong perimeter, then the game against the Bucks was under tremendous pressure from the inside.

Fortunately, the Lakers' overall defensive discipline is very strong, they hardly make mistakes, and they are extremely active in assisting defense and supplementing defense, sparing no effort.

So the Bucks are also very tired.

Antetokounmpo played a lot of time today, and he was physically exhausted. He felt that playing against the Lakers was more tiring than playing against the Nets.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 61:57, and the Lakers led by 4 points.

Although the point difference is still not big, the Bucks always have a feeling that they just can't catch up.

No matter how beautiful the Bucks score, the Lakers can always return one, which is very stable.

According to this situation, it is still difficult for the Bucks to turn around.

……

In the Tengxun Sports live broadcast room, Su Qun and Ke Fan explained the game.

"Teacher Su Qun, the Lakers have been leading in the first half today, what do you think?"

Su Qun replied: "This just shows that Xu Feng's influence on the game is stronger than Antetokounmpo. Although Antetokounmpo is also a combination of offense and defense, he has not yet reached that level and does not know how to control the rhythm."

Ke Fan nodded and said: "That is indeed the case. It feels like Brother Antetokounmpo is using too much force, and Xu Feng has a feeling of strategizing."

"Yes, Xu Feng is the core player of the three consecutive championships. His understanding of the game has reached a very high level. As you can see, he is now almost equivalent to a coach and player on the field."

"Haha, yes, Xu Feng was like this when he was in the national team. He can respond quickly on the field, adjust tactics, and catch the opponent off guard."

Mina interjected, "Yeah, it's almost the same as James, they're both the bosses of the team!"

Su Qun smiled and said: "Xu Feng and James have similarities, but they are different in many places. Xu Feng can play off the ball, cover for teammates, and run. James seems to be only a big core with the ball. "

Mina curled her lips, and retorted: "He can beat others with the ball, is there any other way?"

Ke Fan couldn't help laughing: "But James was defeated by the Lakers many times in the Finals. He just had a higher winning percentage in the Eastern Conference, but he hasn't been able to do it in the past two years."

"That's because Durant can't do it. If someone else is reliable, Lao Zhan will definitely win the championship!" Mina said confidently.

"Durant is not good? Then you can say something." Ke Fan also confronted her.

"I think Brother Antetokounmpo is good. If Lao Zhan goes to the Bucks next season and joins hands with Brother Antetokounmpo, he will definitely beat the Lakers!"

Su Qun shook her head and stopped talking. Ke Fan also changed the topic and talked about tactics.

……

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Bucks recovered a lot of physical strength and continued to increase the intensity of the game.

The physical strength of the Lakers players is like inexhaustible sea water, and they can still match the strength of the Bucks.

Especially Xu Feng and Westbrook are even more active in running and jumping, without losing the wind in the slightest.

But other Lakers players seem to be unable to keep up physically.

As point guards, Livingston and Lin Shuhao made great contributions to the Lakers.
