The older superstars of the NBA

After Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Series arrived. With the change of home court, the pace of the Eastern Conference Finals has also begun to accelerate.

The Milwaukee Bucks finally regained a victory in Game 3 with their home court advantage.

In this game, Zhao Feiyang enjoyed double-teaming from beginning to end. Other Knicks players were restricted by various interferences. However, Adrian Ennis and Andrew Wiggins on the front line performed well. Not bad.

However, under the Bucks' tight defense, the Knicks still failed to win this game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo also had his best performance since the series, scoring 32 points and 13 rebounds. Almost no one could restrain him in the paint, not even Andre Drummond and Tristan Thompson. Constant restrictions failed to affect his feel.

After the big score was tied at 2-1, the Bucks tried to copy the pattern of Game and continue to win.

However, their home court advantage was only used once. In Game 4, the Knicks caught the Bucks off guard from the start.

As the core of the team, Zhao Feiyang threw two three-pointers at the beginning, and then continued to cooperate with Adrian to cover. Together, the two scored nearly two-thirds of the Knicks' points in the first quarter.

This style of play also made the Bucks a little bit overwhelmed.

In the second quarter, the Bucks continued to choose to guard Zhao Feiyang.

It's a pity that the Knicks were well prepared this time. Zhao Feiyang deliberately attracted double teams and gave the opportunity to other teammates. Whether it was Zach LaVine or DeAndre Jordan under the basket, they all took the opportunity to play a wave of scoring. climax.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Bucks.

Seeing that the winning strategy in the last game didn't work, the Bucks immediately made adjustments.

Unfortunately, their adjustments had no effect. The Knicks maintained their lead in the second half. Until the last minute of the game, the Bucks failed to catch up with the Knicks.

In the last minute, Zhao Feiyang also controlled the court strongly and used two super long three-pointers to widen the score gap, leaving the Bucks with no possibility of reversal in the last minute.

beep.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, fans throughout the Bradley Center couldn't help but sigh.

1:3.

The Knicks, who have won the match point, seem to be only one step away from the finals. They were originally high hopes from many people in the industry, but now it seems that their situation is not very good.

When the two sides left the field, this time Antetokounmpo Giannis personally went up to fight with Zhao Feiyang. Although he had always resisted before, when the game reached this situation, Antetokounmpo seemed to be a little resigned to his fate!

Or to put it another way, he was conquered by Zhao Feiyang’s strength!

"Giannis, we are waiting for the next battle with you!"

"Anyway, it's a challenge for us to meet opponents like you in the Eastern Conference Finals..."

Zhao Feiyang said.

Antetokounmpo Giannis was a little depressed, but he still answered, "Zhao, I really hope you are in our camp now! If so, no one in the entire east can defeat us..."

"Although it's a pity, we still have a chance to defeat you...just wait! I will lead my team to kill you in the next game and take back the victory that belongs to Milwaukee..."

Two days later, Game 5 of the series between the two sides came to New York.

Here, the Knicks are all prepared, and they want to take the Bucks directly. If you advance early this way, you can give the players more rest time.

For the Bucks, they are now forced to the point of breaking the boat. If they don't fight back, their efforts throughout the season will be in vain!

They failed to enter the finals last year, and if they fail to make it this year, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the current Bucks lineup.

If they are unable to break through to the Eastern Conference finals for several consecutive years, then according to the lessons learned by some teams, I am afraid that this lineup that can compete for the championship will suddenly collapse at some point in time.

Once that happens, Antetokounmpo's whereabouts may be a problem, and whether the Bucks can put together a lineup again will also be a big problem.

After all, not all stars can be like LeBron James, who can build a team that can win the championship in a short period of time no matter what method is used.

The battle between the two sides soon began.

This time, Zhao Feiyang did not take too many shots in the first quarter. He gave most of the ball rights to Zach LaVine. LaVine used him to attract the Bucks' double-teams and find opportunities to break through to the basket and score.

This style of play really caught the Bucks off guard. Previously, their defensive attention was focused on Zhao Feiyang, who has always been the Knicks' most stable firepower output point.

Now that LaVine is in control of the ball, the Bucks' defense has to make some adjustments.

Antetokounmpo Giannis seemed to want to win the game. From the moment he came on the court in the first quarter, he kept attacking the basket with the ball.

With excellent physical fitness and good touch, Antetokounmpo Giannis performed pretty well in the first quarter.

He led the team to play a stable offense. At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks also led the Knicks by 5 points.

In the second quarter, Zhao Feiyang began to take control of the ball.

After getting the ball, he kept raiding the basket and hitting the Bucks inside. Antetokounmpo gave up the defenders around him several times to cover the position, but unfortunately he couldn't block Zhao Feiyang.

It seemed that Zhao Feiyang was provoking him and deliberately rushed toward the area Antetokounmpo was defending.

After the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides remained at 4 points, and the Knicks took the lead again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo never got off the court to rest, and his physical fitness also declined seriously after the first half.

The second half came quickly.

What everyone didn't expect was that Giannis accidentally sprained his ankle when he played 3 minutes and 44 seconds in the third quarter.

This injury completely eliminated any chance for the Bucks.

After he came off the court, the Knicks seized the opportunity to take the game away. When the two sides came to the last quarter with only 2 minutes left, the Knicks had led the Bucks by as many as 14 points.

It’s almost over for the Bucks!

They don't have McGrady, so they can't save the defeat in such a short time! Antetokounmpo Giannis could only watch helplessly as the Knicks pocketed the victory.

beep.

The moment the timer sounds, the game is over.

The Knicks ultimately defeated the Bucks 4-1 and advanced to the Finals for the second consecutive season.
