In the 2000-2001 season, the Bucks ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 52 wins and 30 losses in the regular season. It can be said that except for the 76ers, the Bucks are the Heat's most powerful opponent in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks have "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson and "Gentleman Sword" Ray Allen, two offensive strongmen who average 22 points per game, as well as Sam Cassell, a guy who looks like an alien.
I have to mention "e.t" Cassell, who averaged 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. He is definitely one of the top ten point guards in the league.
¡°At least, Hardaway, who is clearly no longer at his peak this season, must be slightly inferior to him.
On the defensive end, they are definitely inferior to the Heat. This is natural. When has a team coached by George Karl ever been better defensively?
The Bucks ranked second in the league with an average of 100.7 points per game, sixth in the league in field goal percentage of 45.8%, and fifth in the league in three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%. Their offensive firepower this season is second only to the Kings. Second in the league and first in the Eastern Conference!
(Don¡¯t doubt it, almost all teams in that era believed in the phrase ¡°defense wins championships¡±, so the average points per game were very low!)
With such strong offensive firepower, who the hell would bother with poor defense?
Just like the Kings, who rank first in the league in points per game this season, is their defense good?
Like George Karl, Rick Adelman is also a head coach who is not very good at defense. To put it bluntly, the "Princeton tactics" are still offensive tactics and have nothing to do with defense!
On the evening of April 29, the G3 game between the Bucks and the Magic started as scheduled. Wang Dalin called House to his home to watch the game with him.
The Bucks showed some advantages in the first half. At halftime, they led the Magic by 6 points, 50:44.
Seeing this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but become a little anxious: "Magic team, please work harder t-mac, what the hell are you doing? Why did you only score 11 points at halftime?"
House smiled and said: "Calm down Calm down! T-Mac is just dozing off and hasn't woken up yet. You see, his eyes haven't even opened yet! Don't worry, he will definitely wake up in the second half. By then, the Bucks will That¡¯s bad luck!¡±
Wang Dalin couldn't help but be startled, and then rolled his eyes at him.
McGrady made only 4 of 11 shots in the first half, and it seemed that he really had a bad touch. Moreover, he only grabbed 2 rebounds and only had 1 assist. He did not show his comprehensive skills at all.
On the other hand, for the Bucks, Cassell made 4 of 12 shots, which was a bit stretched, but "Junzi Lei" scored 12 points efficiently on 5 of 7 shots, which was in sharp contrast to McGrady.
The situation suddenly changed at the beginning of the second half. At the beginning of the third quarter, McGrady frequently held the ball and played in isolations. He scored 10 points on 4 of 6 shots in this quarter. Compared with the first half, he seemed to be a different person.
Thanks to McGrady¡¯s strong output, the Magic defeated the Bucks by 12 points 36:24 in the third quarter. After the third quarter, the Magic led by 6 points 80:74.
For the Bucks, Cassell made 2 of 7 shots in the third quarter, Thomas made 0 of 2 shots, and "Big Dog" Robinson made 1 of 4 shots. If it weren't for Scott Williams, who made 3 of 4 shots and scored 8 points in a single quarter. , they will definitely lose more.
In the fourth quarter, the Bucks finally returned to normal. Thomas, Robinson and Ray Allen all made 3 of 5 shots and scored 11, 7 and 8 points respectively.
McGrady didn¡¯t stretch his hips either. He frequently relied on breakthroughs to attack the Bucks¡¯ interior in the fourth quarter. He made 4 of 9 shots in a single quarter, plus 9 of 9 free throws to score 17 points.
Wang Dalin and House watched with excitement, especially at the last moment when the two teams were fighting inextricably. They actually felt a little suffocated.
Although it is "nothing to do with anything," the outcome of the Bucks and Magic tonight is directly related to whether they can rest for a few more days, so tension is inevitable.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the two sides tied at 110:110, and overtime was required.
Wang Dalin took advantage of the commercial on the TV station and quickly went to the toilet The game was so exciting that there was no peeing at all, but it made him choke.
When Wang Dalin finished urinating, House followed him to the toilet.
Wang Dalin couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile: "Who told you to rush to marry a wife at a young age Your kidneys are not good, right? Look at me how good I am at holding back urine?"
Overtime began soon. Due to serious physical decline, the shooting percentages of players on both sides dropped significantly.
McGrady, who scored 37 points in regular time, was also a little weak in his legs. He only made 2 of 6 shots in overtime, and even missed two free throws.?? situation.
Fortunately, the Bucks' shooting rate is not good either. Thomas made a strong 3 of 5 shots in the fourth quarter, but went 0 of 2 in overtime. Ray Allen and Cassell also only made 1 of 3 shots. middle.
The Magic defeated the Bucks 121:116 and tied the score to 1:2, finally retaining a glimmer of hope.
Wang Dalin and House couldn't help shouting excitedly when they saw the end: "Here's Ollie!"
It cannot be said that the Bucks did not play well in this game. Ray Allen scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Cassell, a point guard who is only 191cm tall, also scored 21 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists.
The main reason is that McGrady is too strong. He made 14 of 32 shots and scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. He perfectly explained what it means to be a superstar.
And Magic point guard Darrell Armstrong, who is only 183cm tall, had equally amazing statistics of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in this game.
"Look at these two point guards with the heart of a center. Wang Dalin can't help but look ashamed even though he averages 6.8 rebounds per game.
There are three other games on April 29th, namely the 76ers versus the Pacers, the Spurs versus the Timberwolves, and the Jazz versus the Mavericks.
The 76ers, who had already regained a victory, continued their efforts and defeated the Pacers again in the G3 game, with a score of 92:87.
This game became a fierce scoring battle between Allen Iverson and Reggie Miller. Although Iverson made only 11 of 28 shots, he made 10 of 14 from the free throw line and scored 32 points and 7 points. Rebounds and 6 assists.
Miller made 11 of 25 shots, including 5 of 14 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Miller won in terms of individual points, but the 76ers had the last laugh.
In the Spurs vs. Timberwolves game, David Robinson made a direct comeback, scoring 22 points and 17 rebounds. Duncan also scored 15 points and 10 rebounds.
However, for the Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Trier Brandon scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and Wally Szczerbiak scored 18 points and 6 assists. With 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the overall performance was indeed better than the Spurs.
In the end, the Timberwolves won the G3 game 93:84, still trailing 1:2 by a big score.
The Jazz lost to the Mavericks 91:94. Although Karl Malone scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, he only made 11 of 28 shots in the game, while Nowitzki on the Mavericks made 9 of 19 shots. High efficiency leads to judgment.
Nowitzki scored 33 points and 10 rebounds, especially when he shot 13 of 14 from the free throw line. He is worthy of being the most accurate big man in this period bar none.
The Magic won the G3 game, and the G4 game with the Bucks will not be held until May 2. The Heat can rest for a few more days I hope Riley will not engage in "devil training" again!
After House left, when Wang Dalin was happy that he could rest for a few more days, Jeff Schwartz suddenly called him (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
