Chapter 267 Master and Disciple Showdown
Feige Forum Arena, the Milwaukee Bucks opened a brand new home last season.

It also represents a new start for the Bucks. They performed well last season, and this season they rushed to the second place in the Eastern Conference, behind the Green Kai 76ers and so on. They are only one game behind the Eastern Conference leader Raptors Team.

Antetokounmpo, who now has a stable three-point output, is a bit evolved. Although he still can't shoot against people, he has a lot more confidence in open three-pointers. Now he averages 1.2 goals per game and a 35% shooting rate. Don't be too demanding. Otherwise, it will break through and explode, and it will be invincible if it has three points.

Isaac, without any suspense, won the ball, Xiao Hang controlled the ball and began to advance. The Bucks are one of the imaginary opponents in the finals. He and the Raptors are definitely the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.

Middleton followed Xiao Hang, and after Antetokounmpo developed a three-pointer, he went to the 4th position. The Bucks now also have 1 star and 5 shots, and everyone has a three-pointer.

When the two teams fought, it was really full of flames and blood.

Xiao Hang used Isaac's cover in the first attack, and had a "conflict" with Brother Antetokounmpo.

After breaking through the screen, Xiao Hang's right shoulder confronted Antetokounmpo in the air, but relying on his speed, Xiao Hang had the upper hand, throwing back, and the ball bounced off the backboard and entered the frame.

The Bucks served the ball quickly here, Antetokounmpo immediately started to speed up, took the ball to the three-point line in three steps, and then took a step to start, and flew straight up. The basket with long arms was unmatched. Xiao Hang played tennis Sigh.

Murray dribbled the ball and gave it to Xiao Hang, Xiao Hang made a breakthrough and gave it to Adelaide.

Antetokounmpo dribbled the ball across the half court, made a cover for Bledsoe, accelerated to brush away Isaac, and received an alley-oop pass with one hand and dunked.

Popovich didn't expect to call a timeout less than 2 minutes into the game.

"You guys are playing back to back, playing slowly, grinding tactics, giving up offensive rebounds, returning to defense quickly, and don't give Antetokounmpo a chance to get up to speed!" Popovich is not very satisfied with the form on the court, but playing fast is Falling into the "trap" of the Bucks, although the Spurs have achieved the best possible distribution of physical strength, it is still not as good as the Bucks waiting for work.

At first glance, Budenholzer seemed to make both sides run. As Budenholzer's teacher for many years, how could Popovich not know what was going on in his heart, and quickly paused to suppress the rhythm.

After the timeout, Murray took the ball and was responsible for pressing the rhythm.

After halftime, Isaac received the ball from a high position and pretended to break through, while the others ran their positions.

Xiao Hang took advantage of Ade's cover, broke into the inside line, and received a pass from Isaac for an easy layup.

The Spurs quickly retreated, Bledsoe dribbled the ball across the half, Antetokounmpo covered, Isaac emptied Bledsoe to give him a chance to shoot, and followed Antetokounmpo.

Facing the sudden big gift package, Bledsoe was a little at a loss and hit the iron.

Bledsoe is still the Bucks' X factor. His scoring stability is the worst. Although Antetokounmpo's previous three-pointers were also poor, Antetokounmpo's breakthrough efficiency exploded at the basket and his 76% shooting rate made him proud of outside players.

Isaac received the rebound and gave it to Murray, who still dribbled the ball steadily across the half.

Adelaide caught Lopez asking for the ball and hit back, playing a bit slowly, Adelaide was observing the position.

No one came to help defend, Adelaide made a turnaround jumper, no, Lopez's weight guaranteed the quality of his top defense at the position, Adelaide did not complete the shot very comfortably.

The Spurs suppress the rhythm here, and they also shoot few three-pointers, unless they are really super wide open and completely play retro basketball.

Because some three-pointers will cause long rebounds, being caught by Antetokounmpo for a long rebound means that he will be hit with a fast break, and being hit with a fast break by Antetokounmpo means almost [-]% of the points lost.

The scores of the two sides in the first quarter were also low enough, 24 to 22, and the Spurs temporarily led by 2 points and entered the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Spurs' strategy here is also to reduce the number of rounds and increase the success rate.

But the Bucks still want to get up to speed here. They have been pressing the Spurs. As long as they get up to speed, they will definitely not be able to stop.

In the previous basketball, I thought about how to make full use of 24 seconds to create good scoring opportunities.

Modern basketball is to play fast, increase the number of rounds, and encourage offense.

The Spurs here combine classical and modern, which one is suitable for them, while the Bucks have fully embraced modern basketball.

Many times, Lopez didn't pass halftime, and watched Antetokounmpo suddenly dunk in his life, or split the ball to several other people to shoot three-pointers.

However, the pressure of the Spurs increased Lopez's participation, and then the Bucks had a trick. Lopez's low post ability is also very good, so he played a misplaced Nene.

After Lopez gave Isaac a pick-and-roll, Lopez quickly pressed the inside line, and then received a pass from Antetokounmpo to hit Isaac with his back.

The Spurs had a big problem in an instant. Isaac's size couldn't prevent Lopez no matter what. Lopez's low singles were more stable than Adelaide. Adelaide was a face-up singles. After the Spurs gained weight , Under the guidance of Duncan, he played a little in the low position.

Now it's Popovich's turn to have a headache.

He wanted to play full, but he dragged himself down. After Isaac had no choice but to foul, Popovich decided to send Dajia, and went all the way to the end on the slow road.

As soon as Dajia came on the court, the Spurs completely became the team of the first 10 years of the century.

But Dajia can only play for more than ten minutes now, any longer will be a side effect.

Popovich will have to figure out a countermeasure after the big plus time has passed.

In the second quarter, the Spurs continued to pass the test smoothly. Although they were tied by the Bucks 47 to 47, today is a back-to-back game, and the winner must not be decided until the last moment.

Coach Budenholzer is still quite calm here. He knows how long Dajia will be used, and in the second half, he will let Antetokounmpo attack the inside and push down Dajia's usage time.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the third quarter, Antetokounmpo rushed to the inside line frantically.

Only 3 minutes after the opening of the third quarter, Dajia committed 2 fouls. Although Dajia only lasted more than ten minutes, fouls are awarded for scoring. Dajia is still on the court, so it is really a side effect.

At 21 minutes, Popovich had the final say. For the rest of the normal game, it's okay, just let it go.

Of course Popovich knows that big gains are not a long-term solution, but there is no way to save energy. There are still 21 minutes left in the game, so there should be no problem in the fight.

Antetokounmpo's free throws are over, and the Spurs have also changed their lineup. Murray, Forbes, Xiao Hang, Gay, and Isaac are on the stage. The growth of Forbes has shortened Gallinelli's playing time, but the veteran should retain his strength , The playoffs are their stage.
