The older superstars of the NBA

The two sides fought fiercely in the first quarter.

It seems that the Milwaukee Bucks continue to perform wonderfully under the leadership of Antetokounmpo Giannis, but in fact, only Antetokounmpo performs best on the Bucks. Because he occupies a large amount of the ball, the performance of other players is relatively average.

On the other hand, the New York Knicks, after Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to seek singles opportunities to help the team stabilize the situation, he began to transfer the ball away. Adrian Ennis on the wing and Zach LaVine in the second position both When they got the chance to take action, the two lived up to Zhao Feiyang's expectations and successfully scored several long-range shots to help the team score.

Therefore, when the first quarter ended, the score between the two sides was 30 to 31, and the Knicks were only 1 point behind the Bucks.

Soon the second quarter comes.

The Bucks continued to send Antetokounmpo, and the Knicks did not dare to relax their vigilance. They replaced some substitutes, and the main lineup remained basically unchanged.

After the two sides started playing, Antetokounmpo continued to hold the ball.

He was in really good shape in the first quarter and could always find the right opportunity when playing against Jordan alone. Because of this, the Knicks switched to Porzingis to guard him in the second quarter.

In terms of height, Porzingis is much taller than Antetokounmpo; in terms of age, Porzingis is one year younger than Antetokounmpo.

The defensive state of the same young body is naturally different.

Therefore, when Porzingis came up to interfere with Antetokounmpo, he rushed to the basket with the ball but did not choose to hit it hard. Instead, he passed the ball to Khris Middleton on the wing.

Middleton caught the ball and shot.

boom.

The basketball hits the rim and pops out.

Antetokounmpo jumped high and tried to grab the rebound, but as soon as his hand touched the basketball, Porzingis slapped the ball away.

Porzingis didn't hesitate when he got the ball and threw the ball with a long pass.

The basketball was given to Zhao Feiyang, who threw it to Jeremy Lin, who was already rushing towards the half court.

Bang, Jeremy Lin caught the basketball while running. Before the Bucks players could catch up, he raised the basketball and dunked the ball into the basket.

boom.

The ball went in.

There was applause from the Knicks' bench.

Zhao Feiyang also applauded Jeremy Lin.

Ever since Jeremy Lin suffered an injury, his form has been ups and downs. After arriving in New York this season, he began to recover. He even missed some games in the middle because of this, but he still did not give up.

Since entering the playoffs, his condition has improved significantly compared to before, and the sequelae of injuries have also been eliminated due to his efforts.

Today's dunk seems simple, but it is his first dunk in so long this season!

This means that there are no major problems with his body. Maybe his explosive power is not as good as his peak, and maybe he is not as durable as when he first entered the league, but his physical condition is at least normal and can support him to survive in the fierce competition in the playoffs.

The Bucks continued to attack.

This time after halftime, Eric Bledsoe threw the ball to center Brock Lopez. Lopez sneaked into the basket and planned to end the battle with a dunk.

Unexpectedly, DeMarcus Cousins, who was replaced to guard him, did not intend to give him this opportunity. The two faced each other, and Cousins ​​jumped high and just knocked down the basketball in Lopez's hand.

Snapped.

Lopez gets a big shot.

The basketball rolled out, and Antetokounmpo happened to pick it up.

He played with his back outside the penalty area, turned around and slammed into the basket. Porzingis mistakenly thought that Antetokounmpo was going to dunk, and jumped up to stop him. Unexpectedly, Antetokounmpo just made a feint, and the next second he turned around again and lifted the basketball.

Porzingis was powerless to stop it.

Snapped.

Antetokounmpo is still blocked.

His shooting was hit hard!

When everyone thought he would make a successful shot, Adrian on the wing had already noticed his fake move and pounced on him immediately.

The moment Antetokounmpo leaned back to take action, Adrian hit him with a big shot.

The basketball was slapped away by Adrian.

The whole audience exclaimed.

In the chaos, Zach grabbed the basketball that rolled out and threw a long pass to Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang rushed to the half court with him, and the opponent's defender Bledsoe rushed up to chase Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang threw the ball into the air with a back throw.

LaVine jumped high and smashed the ball in again with a one-handed dunk.

The air passing drama is happening again!

The Knicks bench erupted in applause.

After encountering two consecutive blockades, the Bucks began to have problems inside. Antetokounmpo is no longer as invincible with the ball as he was before. On the contrary, his mistakes are increasing.

The cooperation between Porzingis and Cousins ​​is gradually showing results, making the Knicks' interior defense almost impregnable.

Time passed little by little, and by the end of the first half, the Knicks had caught up with the previous score, and even surpassed the Bucks by 6 points.

Half time.

The cheerleading dance began, and the fans on the sidelines temporarily relaxed their tense nerves. Players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms to take a break.

The second half soon arrived.

The Bucks temporarily replaced Giannis Antetokounmpo and took a rest on the bench. The Knicks paired LaVine and Dennis Smith Jr. in the backcourt, leaving Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan in the paint.

The third quarter begins.

Without Antetokounmpo on the court, the Bucks' performance couldn't be compared to the first quarter. In this case, the Knicks seized the opportunity to score continuously, and Jordan even cooperated with LaVine. The two's alley-oop cooperation made the Bucks unable to defend.

The points difference gradually widened.

Seeing this, the Bucks had to replace Antetokounmpo with 4 minutes and 50 seconds left in the third quarter.

Antetokounmpo's appearance delayed the expansion of the point difference, but unfortunately, he was never in his previous state in the remaining time. Even if there are occasional wonderful performances, it cannot help the team reverse the gap that has been widened.

The game time is getting shorter and shorter, and both sides enter the final quarter.

The Knicks have kept the point difference at around 8 points.

With only 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the game, the Knicks and Bucks scored 97-90. The Bucks tried to counterattack, but Antetokounmpo was unable to break into the paint and score effectively, so he chose to take a long shot from outside the three-point line.

His long-range shooting touch is really not very good.

When the three-pointers missed the basket time and time again, the Bucks' victory became further and further away from them.

beep.

The timer sound for the end of the live game will sound.

双方最终比分定格在101比95，尼克斯队以6分之差战胜雄鹿队拿下系列赛的第一场。大比分也由此变成1比0。

The Knicks won their first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
