NBA bench saves national team

Although Qin Feng knows that Antetokounmpo will be the top small forward in the league in the future, he is also aware of Antetokounmpo's shortcomings throughout his career.

Even if he trains desperately every season to improve himself, once the key game comes, Antetokounmpo's flaws will be exposed again.

One is the lack of ability to hit the key ball;

The second is the lack of stable free throw ability;

The third is the lack of stable mid-range shooting ability;

Fourth, lack of stable three-point shooting ability at critical moments;

In short, shooting is Antetokounmpo's flaw. Even in the latter part of his career, he only improved and did not solve it.

Qin Feng still remembers clearly.

In the 2023 season in the previous life, the Bucks ranked first in the league in the regular season.

Before the start of the playoffs, most media and basketball commentators predicted that the Bucks could win the championship that season.

But the Bucks met the Miami Heat in the first round.

Under the leadership of Butler, the tough guy, the Heat abruptly completed the black eight miracle and eliminated the Bucks with a big score of 4:1.

The gold content of this round of black eight is extremely high.

Because the Heat completed the reversal with the loss of two generals, while the Bucks are neatly staffed and have the deepest lineup in the league.

In fact, there is still a huge gap between the two teams.

However, the Heat's ace Jimmy Butler is really too hard, and he played like a god, comparable to Michael Jordan.

In the fourth game of the series, Butler scored 56 points and led the team to reverse the game after trailing by more than ten points in the fourth quarter.

By the fifth game of the series, the Heat were still trailing by more than a dozen points in the fourth quarter, just when the Bucks thought they could win the game.

Jimmy Butler broke out again, using his ultimate personal offense, once tied the point difference.

And in the last two seconds, he completed a sky-defying lob, tied the Bucks and entered overtime.

At this moment, the mentality of the Bucks players has collapsed.

Entering overtime, the Bucks were completely out of shape, and were directly taken away by the Heat.

In the end, the Heat won the game away and completed the black eight miracle.

Butler broke out again, scoring 42 points against the sky, and although Antetokounmpo also scored 38 points, his performance at the free throw line can be described as catastrophic.

Antetokounmpo scored 23 free throws in the game, but only hit 10 and missed 13 times.

If these 13 free throws were made, even if two or three more free throws were scored, the result of the game might be different.

But at this critical moment, Antetokounmpo is still soft, and his hardness can't match Butler at all.

After the game, various media, basketball experts, and basketball commentators expressed their views on this round of the series for the first time. In addition to marveling at Butler's tough performance, they also commented on Antetokounmpo.

Even if he is already a historical superstar, his ability to play key games is still a little bit worse!

Closer to home.

After finishing the post-match interview, Qin Feng asked Harden to go to the nightclub together.

Another carnival.

Before leaving, Harden took away the two beauties in a very standard way. It seems that one can't enjoy himself...

Qin Feng took a girl back to his villa.

Scarlett has been busy filming recently, and Qin Feng hasn't dated Scarlett for a long time, so he can only find someone else.

After a night of partying.

Qin Feng and the team started a five-game away trip.

Without any suspense, the Lakers ended this road trip with a wave of winning streak.

Time flies.

Soon it's Christmas Day.

The most gimmick game arranged by the NBA in the Christmas game this season is the Lakers vs. Cavaliers.

undoubtedly.

Qin Feng vs James has become the league's main gimmick in recent years.

Although James loses to Qin Feng every year, the NBA is still tirelessly persevering in letting James and Qin Feng play games.

Because apart from James, there is no other superstar in the entire league who can match Qin Feng's strength.

The topicality will also be much weaker.

And this season, James returned to the Cavaliers to form a new Big Three. The strength of the team still needs to be tested by an epic super team like the Lakers.

The day before the Christmas battle.

The Cavaliers came to Los Angeles early and checked into a five-star hotel.

Waiting quietly for the arrival of the Christmas war.

James is full of confidence and is looking forward to this Christmas game. He believes that the current Cavaliers have the strength to fight the Lakers.

In addition to Irving's super personal offensive ability, the team's lineup structure and age structure are very reasonable. Unlike the Heat, after the Big Three occupied most of the salary space, the remaining players signed. They are all veterans with a basic salary.

This makes the Heat have problems at every critical moment.

But the current Cavaliers are much better than the Heat.

There are singles masters, young players, and big men who can shoot three-pointers to open up space. The overall structure is very good.

In fact, the current Cavaliers are indeed very strong, currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Even if the Heat have Wade and Bosh, they are currently only ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, not even in the playoffs.

This is the influence James brings to a team.

the next day.

Staples Center.

An hour before the game, the arena was already crowded with people, and there were no seats left.

The enthusiasm of the fans flooded the arena, eagerly waiting for the start of the game.

At this time, players from both sides are warming up on the court.

beep.

A whistle sounded.

The pre-match warm-up is over.

The starters of both sides came on stage.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Gasol, Antetokounmpo, Qin Feng, Kobe, Lowry;

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is Love, Mike Miller, James, Marion, and Irving.

It has to be said that the current starting lineup of the Cavaliers perfectly matches James' ability.

Because what James is best at is playing with four shooters, and the current Cavaliers' starting five all have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

And the three-point shooting ability of the two giants of Irving and Love is even more elite in the league.

Irving even won the three-point contest.

The old Mike Miller once followed James when he was in the Heat, and now he also followed James to the Cavaliers, wanting to fight for another championship ring.

Love and Gasol jump the ball, and the former dials the basketball out.

The Cavaliers took the lead in attacking.

After halftime, James landed in the left corner and didn't mean to participate in the team's offense.

His intention is also very clear, that is to let his teammates play at the beginning, he observes the situation, and then makes a move when it is time to make a move.

Irving held the ball at the top of the arc, and Love was in a high position. After breaking through the penalty area, he attracted the defense of Antetokounmpo and Gasol.

This was specially arranged by Lakers coach Kerr.

After all, Irving's ability to break through to the penalty area is very strong, and we must find a way to limit him!
