NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

"Giannis, what have you been doing in the last few years!!"

USA, Bradley Arena

Jeff Green, who was sitting on the bench, swore in frustration: "He was just a lean player a few years ago, but now he is too strong!"

"Jeff, you've done a great job defending!"

Ye Huan patted Jeff Green on the shoulder: "That's enough!"

The 18-19 season can be said to be the year when Antetokounmpo officially took over James' torch.

This year, he not only won the first mvp trophy of his career, but also won the best defensive player award.

He is also the player with the greatest contrast in reputations at home and abroad.

He has almost no fan base at home.

Abroad, Giannis is not only the All-Star vote leader, but also received the first number of votes in the selection of players, fans, and media.

Because in addition to his dominance on the field, he himself is the embodiment of the "American dream".

Before coming to the NBA, he was not well-known in Europe.

But he trains tirelessly day by day and continues to improve his data every season.

He used his performance to tell the players that if you are always trembling or afraid of giving, you will not do anything.

When will you be able to stand out? ?

He is tough, inspirational, and worthy of a championship.

(But definitely not the one in 2021!)

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lu Wei and Harrell led the Clippers' bench and fought fiercely with the Bucks' rotation.

Here Lu Wei ignored the defense and hit a three-pointer.

Looking back, Bledsoe used a breakthrough after the pick-and-roll to score two plus one.

The second lineups of both sides fought fiercely, and both teams also increased their points rapidly.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers still maintained a 55:54 lead, but the point difference had reached 1 point.

"Beep!"

The game entered the official timeout in the second quarter, and the head coaches of both sides briefly explained the team's tactics.

Immediately afterwards, the timeout ended, and the Clippers and Bucks changed the configuration of the personnel on the court in a tacit understanding.

The Bucks kept Bledsoe, who performed well in the second quarter, and replaced Brozo Gordon + Middleton + Connaughton and Antetokounmpo.

The Clippers' lineup also made Smith's eyes shine.

Lu Wei + Anthony + Grace Allen + Jeff Green, and Ye Huan!

"The Los Angeles Clippers sent their killer move in the middle of the second quarter!"

O'Neal was also a little surprised: "It's hard for the Clippers' lineup to stop Giannis' impact!"

"But there is also an advantage to this Clippers lineup."

Smith explained: "Their transition attack speed can be very fast."

Without Lopez in the lineup, the Clippers can speed up the game as much as they want.

But the problem is that the most critical argument in defensive counterattacks is that the opponent's offense must be restricted.

This will create more transition offense.

But with the Clippers' current operation of lowering the inside height, can they really limit Antetokounmpo's full impact?

The answer came in the first round after the pause!

Milwaukee Bucks offensive possession!

Brozo Gordon advanced with the ball from the backcourt and gave the ball to Middleton.

Facing Ye Huan's defense, Middleton called for a pick-and-roll and decisively chose to pass the ball inside to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had a height advantage.

Antetokounmpo held the ball against Jeff Green.

To be honest, under this kind of confrontation, it is difficult for Jeff Green to make any gains.

After pushing away Jeff Green, Antetokounmpo got up effortlessly, relying on his height and arm length advantage to lay up underhand! !

"Bang!!"

It's too late, it's faster than that! !

Behind Antetokounmpo, a pair of ruthless iron hands smacked the basketball out of the former's hand.

The basketball collided fiercely with the backboard and bounced out.

Anthony got the rebound before anyone else!

"Ye Huan!!!"

On the sidelines of the commentary box, Smith said with some shock: "This is the second block Ye Huan has given to Giannis Antetokounmpo in this game!"

Defensive counterattack!

Anthony quickly hit the ball to Ye Huan.

Ye Huan dribbled the ball in the backcourt and advanced quickly. Grace Allen, Lu Wei and others lined up outside the three-point line on both sides, waiting for opportunities.

"Whoosh!"

After attracting the attention of the Bucks' defense, Ye Huan jumped up and passed the ball to Grace Allen on the left three-point line.

That's where the space was left!

"Oh!"

When it comes to basketball, Allen doesn't hesitate at all and shoots with a bow and arrow from outside the three-point line!

A solid hit!

58: 54!

Come back!

The Bucks moved the ball and found Antetokounmpo at the corner!

When Antetokounmpo faced Jeff Green, he simply ignored his opponent. He quickly turned around with the ball, leaned forward, and shot again with an underhand layup!

But what he faced was not only Jeff Green in front of him, but also Ye Huan who was coming from the flank to help defend!

"It's Ye Huan again, his assisting defense once again successfully interfered with Giannis' shot!"

O'Neal stood up excitedly: "The defense of the Clippers' five-small lineup began to gradually affect the game because of Ye Huan's defense!"

Assisting defense is all about judging the timing of defense.

For example, now, Ye Huan has concluded that Antetokounmpo will definitely take action himself.

Therefore, he played alone and left his defender Middleton open, and assisted in defense at full speed.

Antetokounmpo was indeed frightened by Ye Huan's continuous defense, but he still pulled the lever in the air to avoid Ye Huan's long arm and threw the ball to the limit.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo lost his balance in the air and missed the shot.

In the battle for rebounds, Grace Allen jumped high and tenaciously protected the rebounds.

"go!"

With a shout from Grace Allen, the Clippers' counterattack struck again.

Antetokounmpo and Brozo Gordon quickly returned to defense, and Lu Wei, who was advancing with the ball, made a coquettish back pass to Ye Huan!

Everyone thought that the end point of the Clippers' defensive counterattack would be Ye Huan, but he chose to give the ball to Anthony who was positioned outside the three-point line!

There was a huge gap, and Anthony did not betray Ye Huan’s trust!

"Shh!"

Hit again! !

"Bang bang bang!!"

After completing the three-pointer, Anthony also made his signature celebration move-a three-finger headshot! !

No one would have thought that the defensive core of the Clippers' five small lineups would be Ye Huan.

After increasing his defense to 99 points, Ye Huan cooperated with his teammates' defense and his own large-scale sweeps, successfully limiting the Bucks' rotation.

Antetokounmpo + Middleton are indeed extremely talented!

Even if the team's offense is not running smoothly, they still rely on their strong personal abilities to open up the situation.

It's just that amid the ebb and flow, the Clippers still opened the point difference to double digits at 72:62 at the end of halftime!
