The world of basketball

Chapter 143 Come On, Avril Lavigne

In the first half of the game, the Bucks did not play their own style. The most important thing was that Cousins, including Antetokounmpo, was a bit on top. After the intermission, Antetokounmpo and Cousins ​​adjusted in time. At this time, the Bucks let The Spurs are feeling the tricky feeling.

Mu Xiaobei and James Monto form the twin towers, but James Monto's positioning and tactical position naturally cannot be Adelaide's original position. On the contrary, Mu Xiaobei is a bit like Adelaide's style of play.

Monto made a high pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin passed a base pass back to Monto, Monto passed the ball to Kuzma, and then Monto directly cut to the basket, Mu Xiaobei followed Monto The screen came out, and Kuzma passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei.

At this time, Cousins ​​was firmly blocked by Monto, Antetokounmpo was defending Kuzma at the top of the arc, and now Mu Xiaobei had Dinwiddie on his back.

Dinwiddie showed his value last season. The Bucks gave him a three-year contract of 500 million yuan. This price is not high for a No. 15 player who can score [-] points per game. The main reason is that Dinwiddie Widdy is really defenseless.

Mu Xiaobei pushed twice to the penalty area, then turned around and jumped forward to make a fake shot, Cousins ​​flew over, and Mu Xiaobei pushed Cousins ​​with a low layup.

"Snapped--"

"Beep-"

It's a pity that the ball rolled in a circle and came out, but the foul was worth a lot of money, because Cousins ​​committed four fouls at this time.

In the first quarter, Cousins ​​was fouled twice by Mu Xiaobei. In the second quarter, he fouled Jeremy Lin while defending the penalty area. In the third quarter, Mu Xiaobei made his fourth foul in one minute.

It's a bit uncomfortable, but the head coach of the Bucks did not replace Cousins, because in his opinion this is the best time to chase points, and the dual-core presence must be guaranteed.

Mu Xiaobei made two free throws and continued to expand the Spurs' lead.

It can be seen that Monto played more of the role of Mu Xiaobei on the offensive end, while Mu Xiaobei played the role of Adelaide before.

What surprised the Spurs most was Monto's restrictions on Antetokounmpo on the defensive end. I thought that Antetokounmpo would beat Monto one by one. After all, Monto's lateral movement speed is not fast.

Of course, the Spurs' defensive strategy also played a big role in this. It is still impossible for Antetokounmpo to take on Monto alone in the low position, and Mu Xiaobei's defense can be more timely if he dribbles and breaks through.

Antetokounmpo once again played a pick-and-roll with Cousins ​​in the high position. Cousins ​​cut outside to catch the ball, and Mu Xiaobei jumped to the high position to defend Cousins, but still took a step.

So far, Cousins ​​has only hit three out of [-] shots to get [-]-pointers, and the [-]-for-[-] shooting rate from beyond the three-point line is also very embarrassing. Mu Xiaobei is still not letting go, and he is one step away from Cousins .

Cousins ​​looked at Mu Xiaobei showing that smile again, and let him go, thinking that this was a kind of provocation from Mu Xiaobei to him, and directly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.

"Bang—" the ball hit the neck of the basket, Montto received the rebound, Jeremy Lin and Mu Xiaobei launched a counterattack together, Jeremy Lin hit the ground and passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei who was following up, and Mu Xiaobei made a dunk.

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei, Cousins ​​didn't make many shots from the outside today. It can be seen that his hands are a bit cold today." Wang Meng said.

"It seems that the Bucks are a little dangerous. The Spurs have already led by [-] points, and the Bucks are not about to play a climax." Su Qun said.

Cousins ​​was embarrassed. With four fouls on his body, he was a little timid on the defensive end. On the offensive end, his shooting percentage was very low, and he looked like a cancer on the team.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. After the serious injury in the previous season and the taste of the championship last season, he thought he had grown a lot, but this time he was irritated by Mu Xiaobei for some reason?
Now looking at Mu Xiaobei's smile, Cousins ​​felt a little disgusting, and he suddenly felt that Mu Xiaobei was playing some tricks just to make his mentality unbalanced.

Well, he was right, but it was a little late.

Up to now, the Spurs have led by [-] points, and it will be difficult to catch up if the Spurs lead by [-] points. After all, the Spurs are a relatively slow-paced team in the league, and so are the Bucks.

The Bucks don't like counterattacks very much, so they chased points very slowly. The Spurs played steadily and kept the point difference at more than [-] points.

Naturally, the Spurs won the game. Mu Xiaobei performed well throughout the game, scoring 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. Monto also scored 18+8 in good form.

What pleased Popovich the most was the new chemistry they brought to the team when Mu Xiaobei and Monto were on the court at the same time, and the effect of this combination turned out to be pretty good.

Antetokounmpo scored a comprehensive triple-double of 33+8+8. Cousins ​​was in a sluggish state and only scored 14 points.

In this way, the Spurs ended their first away game in their five consecutive away journey with a victory, and then the team came to New York to prepare to face the Knicks.

New York, the Big Apple City, the top metropolis in the world.

With earphones on my ears, and welcome to NEW YORK in the earphones, I looked at this big city.

He must have been here, but didn't have much time to see the city, but this road trip has two full days of rest.

All you can do in this kind of international metropolis is shopping. When it comes to shopping, there must be a lady. Well, yes, Karlin is here to visit again.

Mu Xiaobei's endorsement contract gave him a lot of money, much more than his team contract, because besides Li Ning, he also received a drink contract and a fast food restaurant endorsement contract.

Mu Xiaobei doesn't have any bad hobbies, um, except games, but games don't cost a lot of money.

And on this day they happened to catch up with Avril Lavigne's world tour concert. It is said that this concert should be Avril Lavigne's last concert.

Avril is a singer that Mu Xiaobei likes very much. At that time, Avril was the definition of cool for girls in Mu Xiaobei's mind. Now it seems that Avril is still very cool.

Leather jacket, electric guitar, smoky eye.

Madison Square Garden was full of people, and Carlene got two tickets somewhere. They were just ordinary tickets, but it was very difficult to get them, and it usually took a lot of hands to grab them.

There are new songs and old songs.

Lyme disease is actually not a difficult disease, because in the first or second stage, more obvious symptoms can basically appear and then be treated.

But unfortunately Avril Lavigne's Lyme disease has reached the third stage, which caused some bad damage to her eyes.

She is still creating and writing songs, but it can be seen that she is not in a good state.

Listening to her song, Mu Xiaobei didn't know why he suddenly started thinking about how he would live in his later years, how painful it would be when he couldn't play basketball anymore.

Then, he felt a tight palm, and it was Carlene holding his hand tightly.

Yes, what does it matter?

As Mu Xiaobei thought about it, he clenched his hands even tighter.
