Chapter 564 Second Round
Game [-] between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Washington Wizards is officially underway.

Since the Heat swept the 76ers early in the first round, there is no game task until the Bucks and Wizards decide the winner.

On the day of the game, the Heat arranged for the players to watch the game together. As opponents who will meet in the second round, the Heat need to be familiar with their opponents.

The Wizards' ability to play so well this season is due to the coach's tactical arrangements. In the playoffs, they came up with several refreshing tactics. It was these tactics that allowed them to achieve a 3-1 point lead. The Wizards only need one victory to advance.

Before the game, the Wizards were also full of confidence. To end the series in this game, the Bucks would fight to the death. If they win, they still have a chance.

The Thompson brothers are one of the few brothers in the league who have played well. Five years ago, the Bucks took the two brothers into the team at the same time with the 13th and 18th picks. Thompson served as a power forward in the team. He has good frame protection ability and rebounding ability. Thompson Jr. is a shooting guard and has a good three-pointer from the outside.

The Bucks used the two brothers as the cornerstone of the team and achieved good results. Since the Thompson brothers joined the team, the team has never missed the playoffs and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the third season.

This season, the Bucks' lineup has also been strengthened. They originally planned to show their strengths in the playoffs, but suffered a heavy blow in the first round, and the promotion situation is in jeopardy.

In this game, both teams wanted to win, so the bayonet hit was popular at the beginning. In less than 3 minutes, the two teams received a total of 7 fouls. The scene was very tragic. Because of the fouls, the game was played intermittently and was not smooth.

After the first quarter, the two sides scored 18:18, and the scoring efficiency was extremely low.

"This game, I'm afraid the winner will be decided at the last moment." In front of the screen, Mu Chenfeng said slowly.

Judging from the current attitudes of the two sides towards the game, it is very likely that it will develop as Mu Chenfeng said. Both sides will not hesitate to pay for fouls to prevent the other from scoring. Even the Thompson brothers have very low efficiency. The big Thompson scored 4 points and 5 rebounds, and the small Thompson scored 2 points only by free throws, and the rest of the statistics were "0".

During the quarter, the two teams seemed to have negotiated. After returning, they changed the high-intensity defense in the first quarter, and launched a safe and safe attack. Both teams felt bad, but the shots were unambiguous. The number of shots from the two teams in a single quarter reached an astonishing 35. This is an extremely terrifying number of shots. It takes an average of 10 seconds to complete an attack. The rhythm is very fast, but the score is not as exaggerated as imagined.

In the second quarter, the Wizards scored 35 of 8 and scored 20 points.

The Bucks shot slightly better with 35 of 11 and 24 points.

In terms of points, the Bucks took a slight lead.

"These two teams are really messing around." Wade shook his head slightly after seeing the performance of the two teams almost losing their minds. With the strength of the two teams, they should never play such ugly basketball. This is not what a playoff team should be like.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on the team and the players. In such an important game related to promotion, it is difficult to keep a calm mind.

But if the two teams can't adjust their competitive status in time, even if they are lucky enough to advance, they won't be enough for the Heat in the second round.

But for the two teams, they don't have the mind to think about the next game at all, they just want to win the current game.

After the Bucks took a temporary lead, they wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand their lead, but the Wizards once again contributed epic defensive strength, once again stifling the opponent's touch, and the game returned to an anxious situation.

Sure enough, as Mu Chenfeng said, it is difficult to say who will win or lose in the two teams.

The third quarter was still an ugly one, but the Thompson brothers' touch has improved, but the Wizards did not show weakness.

The slight lead in the score gave the Bucks a certain psychological advantage. Usually the lagging side is anxious, and this time is no exception.

But being anxious means "making mistakes". The Wizards lost their positions in the process of chasing points, and their tactical play was completely lost. The Bucks took advantage of the situation to get away from the point difference.

In the fifth game, the Bucks won the game 89:86, continuing the hope of continuing to advance.

As a result, the Wizards missed the opportunity to advance directly, and at the same time paid a painful price, and many rotation players in the team were injured.

After winning the life-and-death battle, the Bucks breathed a sigh of relief, and they were out of control.

The Bucks, who had an advantage in momentum and lineup, won the next two games in one go, won three games in a row, and reversed the Wizards to enter the next round.

In the tiebreaker, the Thompson brothers completed their redemption. The two combined to watch the luxury data of 81 points, 24 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks, defeated the Washington Wizards in one fell swoop, and advanced to the second round.

This was the only tiebreaker in the first round, which led to the early postponement of the Heat's second round, and the rest of the second rounds had already started.

"I didn't expect the Bucks to win three games in a row." It's not easy to win the same opponent three times in a row in the playoffs, but the Bucks did it.

The second round match between the Heat and the Bucks is about to begin, and the Heat have been waiting for a long time at the American Airlines Center Arena.

The Bucks are the first to visit Miami as the visiting team, but they are not just here to go through the motions. Taking advantage of the momentum of the reversal has not receded, they want to challenge the powerful Heat.

After determining the opponent for the second round, the Heat also used the only day to make targeted tactical arrangements.

"The core of the Bucks is the Thompson brothers. As long as the two of them are held down, the Bucks will be like a loose sand, and there is nothing to fear." Barrett said.

"The two of them will be handed over to you." Wade looked at Mu Chenfeng and Claude who had just returned to the team. According to the matchup, they should be responsible for defending the Thompson brothers.

"Don't worry, there are still us." Wade was still a little worried about Claude's state, so he told him, at least to let him have a bottom line.

"I will call you when necessary." Claude's implication is: if there is no problem, he will choose to be one-on-one with his opponent without help.
