Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 1223 [The villain succeeds, for the sake of feelings]
In the crucial fifth game, the 76ers won 111-105 at home and got the match point 3-2.
Small forward Gallinari became the biggest contributor to the home team's victory. He played 35 minutes and made 10 of 16 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.
So far in the playoffs, Gallinari has only played one good game. He averaged 38.2% field goal percentage and 30.2% three-point shooting percentage per game, and was called a false star by fans.
His breakout today mainly relied on the tactics arranged by Brad Stevens. The young coach asked him to cover his teammates, creating an opportunity to misplace the small man in singles and then take action. His performance in key games finally made him worthy of All-Star status.
The 76ers' key figure on the defensive end is Paul Millsap. His ability to defend the pick-and-roll is very good, helping Kemba Walker to limit Bucks point guard Bledsoe.
Xuebu is also a regular season player. Once the intensity of competition increased in the playoffs, his data dropped significantly. His performance relies too much on breakthroughs, and his COSCO shots are extremely unstable.
Embiid, the core of the Bucks inside, also performed abnormally. As a rookie, he made poor shot selections and challenged Jokic with the ball time and time again. He made 10 of 26 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He only scored 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 assists, and his shooting percentage was 38.5%.
Game 6 was played at the home court of the Bucks. The 76ers led by 19 points at most in the third quarter. In the final quarter, the Bucks relied on the outside play of Paul George and Tony Snell to recover the score.
Snell made 4 three-pointers in the final quarter, making 8 of 11 shots from the field and 6 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 22 points with his superb performance. He is a pure shooter. If he doesn't break through, he can't make free throws or grab rebounds, so he has to rely on three-pointers to help the team.
The two teams fought until the last moment. Paul George hit Joe Ingles one meter from the three-point line and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, defeating the 76ers and dragging the game into a tiebreaker.
Young Marshal made a mistake at the last minute and pitted Ingles against George. He only felt that the two were about the same height, but Ingles was a European player with poor athletic ability. His defense relied on personal confrontation and he had almost no shot-blocking ability.
George showed people his big heart and received super high praise after the game. He is a hot star in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks have returned to the Eastern Conference Finals. He does not intend to propose leaving this summer. This is his team and he hopes to lead the Bucks to compete for a championship.
It is no longer possible for the Thunder to trade George to the team in the summer. He is more popular than Wei Shao. Only those who are crazy will go to the Thunder to become the second-in-command.
A reporter interviewed Guo Xu and asked him to predict the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals.
Guo Xu said that he is more optimistic about the Bucks entering the finals because George is an excellent leader. The 76ers have a decent lineup, but they have just started rebuilding this season. The players lack experience and the core strength is inferior to George. They may make mistakes.
As a result, Guo Xu was slapped in the face this time, and sometimes his predictions were inaccurate.
The tiebreaker was played at the 76ers' home court. The Bucks led by 12 points in the first quarter and the situation was great. Unexpectedly, the 76ers came on the bench. 193cm shooting guard Gary Harris scored three consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter, helping the team catch up with the score before halftime.
Millsap and D'Angelo Russell started to play again in the second half,
He scored 10 and 11 points respectively in a single quarter, helping the team complete the lead and enter the final quarter with a 7-point lead.
It was Harris' performance time again in the final quarter. He looked like an All-Star when he was having trouble, and his sudden shots helped the 76ers seal the victory two minutes ahead of schedule. The final score was 110 to 93, and the 76ers returned to the Finals after 16 years.
Harris made 7 of 12 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist, setting a new career high in his personal playoff scoring.
Russell, the second overall pick in 2015, also performed well. He made 7 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws in 28 minutes, scoring 19 points and 4 assists. His performance in the last two games has been better than starting point guard Kemba Walker.
Center Jokic made 10 of 22 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 29 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. He was the biggest contributor to the 76ers' advancement.
He suppressed Embiid in this game. The latter made 5 of 13 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 35.7%.
Young Coach Brad Stevens' defensive strategy was very successful. He strictly guarded the penalty area and kept Embiid away from the basket in pick-and-rolls, allowing him to shoot mid- and long-range shots. The 76ers players are very active in switching defenses. If Embiid makes a cut, the outside players will foul and send him to free throws.
Embiid's inexperience problem showed up again, and he took a lot of shots even though he knew that shooting was not his strong point. If he goes to play hard in the low post, he won't be able to squeeze to the basket easily when facing Jokic. Jokic seems to be too fat to jump, but he is actually very powerful.
After the game, Russell became the focus. He couldn't control his mouth when he was excited.
This guy returned to the locker room and posted a tweet: I'm so happy. This season we are starting to look like a whole. I want to give special thanks to Kobe for the 76ers to reach the finals this year. Thank you that he is no longer here. .
Russell's emotional intelligence is too low, and he looks like a villain. Can he do any good by saying such offending words? In addition to the fans of the 76ers, Knicks, Nets, Mavericks, Warriors, Lakers and other teams who praised him, he didn't even get 50 cents, and a troll from China was better than him.
Then Kobe, who had already entered the holiday, took advantage of the situation. Many fans online were slandering him and saying that he was a cancer.
The Black Mamba is indeed very poisonous. He is worthy of being the best sixth man of the 29th team. All his useless teammates have turned into new stars with great potential, even the second-round rookies are no exception.
If the Knicks waive Kobe, he should be very popular in the free market. Teams that want to rebuild will be right to dig him up.
Will Kobe Bryant return to the Lakers next season? If he assists the Big Three, other teams will have hope of winning the championship. The competition will become more intense and the game will be interesting to watch.
Fans can't help but hate Kobe. Kobe's record is astonishing. Not only has his team finished last for four consecutive years, but he has also helped three teams reach the finals. He left the Warriors, and the Warriors won two consecutive championships; he left the Nets, and the Nets entered the Finals; now it's the 76ers' turn...
Kobe stayed behind closed doors and refused to accept any interviews. Otherwise, many reporters would ask him how he felt when the 76ers entered the finals?
He had a shitty feeling.
All he cares about now is which team he can go to next.
The Knicks management has clearly informed that they will waive him and make him a completely free agent in the summer. As soon as the regular season ended, owner James Dolan conducted a major purge of the Lakers team.
There are only a handful of fans discussing where Kobe will go. The general consensus online is that no matter which team he joins, that team will definitely be finished next season. He can only attract fans who like to watch losing and fighting, and there are almost no anti-fans left.
The reduction of Kohei will lead to the low ratings of the NBA Finals. No matter how much Xiao Hua promotes Embiid and George, it is useless. No one expects the 76ers to defeat the Lakers in an upset.
If it were a parallel world with 6 billion Kermits, there might be 10 billion Kermits supporting the 76ers. The better they play, the happier the Kermers would be.
Unfortunately, on Earth 1, Kermit already belongs to a very rare group of fans. In this year's All-Star voting, Kobe received less than 100,000 votes. Those who voted felt that Kobe was once a super scorer, and they wanted to see him play in the All-Star Game for the last time, mostly for sentimental reasons...
