Chapter 38
"The game has just begun!"

After hitting this three-pointer, Antetokounmpo has also scored his 7th point, which is on par with Wu Hyuk!
The score of the two teams has also become 17:9!

Going back to the other side, Wu He took the ball again from outside the three-point line. This time he still chose to make a three-point shot. Unfortunately, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and failed to make a hit!
It seems that only 35% hit rate is still too low.

Although Middleton was much closer to himself than the first time, there was still a lot of room for the shot. It was Wu Hyuk's own problem that he failed to hit.

But if you don't go in, you don't go in, and soon Wu He devoted himself to the defensive end.

"It can be seen that Michael wants to respond to Yangnis with strength." Seeing Wu He's actions, Reggie Miller smiled: "I appreciate this kind of character."

After that, the game became very intense, and the two sides played back and forth.

Here, Antetokounmpo broke through the basket and succeeded, and Lopez on the other side hit the basket with a single hit.

Wu He was not in a hurry to score, he chose to pass the ball for four goals in a row, and his teammates did not live up to his expectations, scoring three out of four times!
With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Bucks coach Kidd chose to make a substitution. Antetokounmpo, who had already scored 12 points in a single quarter, was replaced. At the same time, Monroe, who scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, was also replaced.

The Nets also responded, Wu He and Thaddeus Yang were both replaced.

Losing the restrictions of Antetokounmpo on the defensive end, Joe Johnson regained his touch, and then he scored five points in a wave of sudden shots, and the Nets also strongly tied the score!
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides tied at 33!
"Wonderful first quarter game, whether it was Giannis Antetokounmpo who played well for the visiting team, or Brook Lopez who scored 9 points and 3 rebounds for the home team, they all worked hard for the victory!" During the break, Reggie Miller summed it up in a general way.

"Yes, at least from the first quarter, both sides really want to win this game. After all, no team hopes to start the game without winning."

Undeniable to Miller's words, Barkley also nodded.

"That's right, so the game in the second quarter will definitely be very intense. Having said that, I am very much looking forward to Giannis' matchup with Michael once." Miller said, a little unfinished: "Even just once."

"Haha, if there is such an opportunity, I will bet on Michael passing the ball to Brook or Joe to solve the problem." Hearing what Miller said, Barkley said with a smile: "It's not that I look down on Michael Wu. He is a very good young man, but he is facing a monster with long arms!"

"Look at the performance of Joe Johnson, an All-Star guy. When he faced Giannis, he had almost no chance to score points. Instead, during the time when Giannis was off, he scored 7 points. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Michael was nice, very nice, but...you know."

Barkley stopped his analysis and curled his lips helplessly at Reggie Miller who was looking at him.

"Okay, after a commercial, there will be an even more exciting second quarter!"

After a commercial, the second quarter of the game between the Nets and the Bucks began as scheduled!
For the Bucks, Bayless will play with Monroe, McAway, Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo's starting lineup.

"I didn't expect that Coach Kidd still sent the starting lineup at the beginning of the second quarter." Seeing the Bucks' lineup, Miller was obviously a little surprised.

You know, in NBA games, most of the lineups in the second quarter are a combination of starters and substitutes, but the Bucks have sent a full lineup!
On the other side, the Nets sent Thomas Robinson, Bargnani, Joe Johnson, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Markelle Brown's substitute mix and match main lineup to play.

Judging from the comparison of strength on paper, whether it is inside or outside, whether it is offense or defense, they are completely surrounded by the Bucks!

"Oh, oh, it seems that Coach Kidd's unexpected formation has caught Coach Hollins by surprise!" The difference in the lineups of the two teams was also noticed by the two commentators.

"Maybe because of the lineup that came up in the second quarter, the balance of victory will tilt to the other side!"

While speaking, the second quarter of the competition between the two sides officially started!
Antetokounmpo, who had been resting on the bench for a period of time, took the lead and hit the basket to get two points. At the same time, he also caused a thug foul by Bargnani who was defending!
"It seems that Giannis is still in a hot state in the first quarter!" Seeing Antetokounmpo who scored an additional penalty, Reggie Miller mentioned it in a tone.

The trend of the game is also the same as Barkley and Miller expected before the start of the second quarter.

For the Nets, Joe Johnson couldn't find his shooting touch for a long time. After missing three consecutive shots, he actually made a low-level catch error!

Bogdanovic, who had high hopes, only made 5 of 2 shots and scored 5 points.

On the contrary, the Bucks scored goals one after another. In just 5 minutes, Monroe on the inside had already scored 6 points and 3 rebounds. He wanted anything from the inside of the Nets!
Even if Hollins replaced Lopez later, it still couldn't prevent Monroe from completing a stunning dunk inside the Nets!

"In the entire second quarter, the Nets shot 26% from the field, while the opponent shot 50% from the field. With such a disparity, it is inevitable to fall behind."

With the halftime whistle, Reggie Miller, who got the first-hand data, shook his head helplessly.

At the end of halftime, the score of the two teams became 59:48, leading the Milwaukee Bucks!
In just the second quarter, the two teams, who were originally evenly divided, immediately saw a double-digit point difference!

The Bucks beat the Nets 26:15 in a single quarter!

Monroe and Antetokounmpo each scored 8 points. Together, these two have already scored higher than the entire Nets team!

"Brook, who missed three shots, Bojan, who made three shots in eight shots, and Joe, who missed three shots. I can't imagine that this is actually the performance of the home team. Don't they even know their own ball hoop?" Looking at the technical statistics of the first half of the game, Barkley couldn't believe it.

"But during the entire quarter, Coach Hollins sent 11 players, but only one did not play." Seeing an interesting statistic, Reggie Miller paused: "He is Michael Wu."

"Wow, then we can even put it another way." Hearing the meaning of Miller's words, Barkley suddenly laughed: "All the Nets lost in the second quarter, except Michael Wu!"

 I hope you will collect and vote a lot, thank you!
  Never be late twice a day!
