Chapter 289 The first game of the playoffs
The ball was fanned out of bounds by Zhang Zifeng, and the Bucks continued to own the ball.

Today the Bucks are determined to implement the tactic of consuming Zhang Zifeng, and did not insist on their advantageous inside line at the beginning.

Still insist on giving the ball to Snell to attack.

Snell ran outside again to receive the ball and faced Zhang Zifeng.

Snell glanced at him, and Antetokounmpo immediately came up to do a pick-and-roll. This time, Snell finally used a successful screen to reach the inside line and made a layup.

Rondo dribbles forward and goes beyond the three-point line.

Zhang Zifeng and Rondo made a cross screen and received a pass from Rondo.

Rondo quickly cuts inside.Zhang Zifeng made a feint, then hit the ground and passed the ball back to the opponent.

Zhang Zifeng quickly ran towards the bottom corner.

With continuous passes and cuts, Snell was completely dazzled.

He didn't react until Zhang Zifeng was soaked, and hurried to catch up.But soon Noel's figure appeared in front of his eyes, blocking his sight.

Rondo went inside and saw Antetokounmpo rushing over, and immediately crossed Zhang Zifeng in the bottom corner.

Zhang Zifeng received the ball, jumped up, and shot.

At this time, Snell had just bypassed Noel and caught up.

But now he can only watch the ball fly to the basket and fly into the basket.

Barkley looked at it, "It seems that Jason Kidd is determined to use Snell to fight against Zhang Zifeng, but to be honest, I don't think Snell can handle Zhang Zifeng!"

Kenny Smith replied, "After all, there is still a gap between the overall strength of the Bucks and the 76ers. Jason Kidd wants to use a unique trick to win home court advantage!"

Barkley shrugged and said, "I can only say that this is very risky. Once Zhang Zifeng makes a play, the Bucks will continue to pay the price!"

Snell faced Zhang Zifeng head-on, and after dribbling the ball under his crotch, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, trying to pass him.

But he forgot that Zhang Zifeng's stealing level is also at the upper level in the league.

Just as Snell was dribbling the ball forward from behind, Zhang Zifeng suddenly pounced on him, swiped the ball with his left hand, and poked the ball away from Snell's hand.

The ball left his hand, and when Snell was about to turn around to grab the ball, Zhang Zifeng had already flew up and grabbed the ball to the ground.

Lying on the ground, Zhang Zifeng threw the ball forward.

Rondo, who rushed to the front, received the ball, made a quick counterattack, and made a layup.

2-10.

Seeing that the team fell behind by 2 points in less than 8 minutes, Snell could not restrain Zhang Zifeng at all.Jason Kidd could only stand up and call a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Brogdon took the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

Although Antetokounmpo is 2.11 meters tall, he has excellent athletic ability and has played point guard before, so although he is a forward, he has good ball handling ability and can attack with the ball.

Received the ball near the free throw line and faced Ibaka.

Antetokounmpo made a fake shot, then sank and broke through inward, hit the basket, turned around, and hit a small hook.

4-10,

Kenny Smith said, "In the first few minutes of the game, it has been proved that not every team has Beverly and Leonard who can defend the opponent alone and put pressure on him. It consumes his energy. Snell is Yes, he can't put any pressure on Zhang Zifeng, but keeps sending points. The Bucks should make more use of their inside advantages. Parker is injured. If the Bucks want to make a difference in the playoffs, they must focus on the ball Handing it over to Antetokounmpo, it is the right way for him to play in multiple ways. Although the Bucks are still behind, the game has just begun, and the Bucks still have a chance to reverse and win!"

Barkley shouted, "Although there are still many games, I still think that the 76ers will definitely win at home. After all, as you said, not every team has Beverly and Leonard. , and the Bucks' internal strength is good, but the 76ers' internal strength is not bad either."

When Barkley and Kenny Smith commented on the game, the game changed on the court.

At the beginning, Zhang Zifeng felt very hot, but the other teammates did not feel so good.

Zhang Zifeng went to the inside and gave the ball to Grant in the corner. Grant missed the shot.

In the next round, in cooperation with Ibaka's pick-and-roll, Ibaka actually dunked the ball.

On the contrary, the Bucks played very well after insisting on using Antetokounmpo as the core of offense.

Antetokounmpo received the pass inside, faced Ibaka, turned around, forced the inside, then suddenly withdrew and made a successful mid-range shot.

Immediately after taking the ball and forcing it back inside, the ball was passed out, and Brogdon caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

The Bucks scored 5 points in a row and caught up with the score 9-10.

Brett Brown saw a timeout called, and he shouted: "Strengthen the defense inside, don't let the opponent do whatever they want in our inside. Do you understand?"

Instructing the players to strengthen the defense inside, Brett Brown shouted again, "Give the ball to Jack, and create more airborne for Jack."

"Jack is the best player in the whole team now. Strengthen your offense. No matter what method you use, score the ball. This is our home court and the first game of the playoffs. Get the victory and start a good start .Understand?"

Zhang Zifeng nodded, "Good coach!"

After returning from the timeout, Zhang Zifeng and Rondo made a pick-and-roll, then cut in, received the ball inside, and made a successful shot with a turn.

The Bucks have the ball, Antetokounmpo gets the ball in the paint, Ibaka is tough behind him, and Noll is always ready to block it.

Zhang Zifeng moved his feet and leaned towards Antetokounmpo, putting pressure on the opponent and preventing the opponent from dribbling the ball easily.

　Work will be a little busy in December, so try to keep updated.
