The third game of the series between the Nets and the Bucks ended. The Bucks, who returned to home, gave the Nets a head-on attack at the beginning. The score in the first quarter came to 30-9. However, the Nets, who stabilized their position in the second quarter, quickly approached or even overtook the score, but in the end they were still defeated by three points.
But based on the process of this game and the content shown in the entire first three games, I think the Nets, who are obviously more capable, have basically won the playoffs. The main reasons are and , and Listen to me in detail.
First, the Bucks still can't solve the problem of defending the pick-and-roll, and this problem will be more serious after Harden and Green come back. The inability to prevent it left the Nets' ball handlers, Durant and Irving, with too many opportunities for easy shots from high positions.
The Bucks made some adjustments in this game, is to let the person defending the ball carrier grab the pick-and-roll player more aggressively to interfere with the ball carrier's emergency stop shot, and Lopez are still there. Inside the pit , the person on the weak side sees the position of the opponent, and can choose to step forward a little to give the ball holder an illusion of interference, and block the ball holder's passing route, so as to let the ball holder If there is hesitation, either the shot is not determined, or the ball is scored. If the ball is scored, it can be intercepted, and even if Durant's ball is successfully passed to the weak side, he can go back in time to interfere.
For details, please refer to the following two rounds. You can focus on the many rounds between Tucker and Middleton :
Tucker still did a good job, giving Durant enough physical confrontation at the same time. , and can also give timely interference.But in this case, it is still impossible to limit the Nets' pick-and-roll. When Durant and Brown came to the flank for the pick-and-roll, Durant slammed to the bottom line , no weak side can help Tucker Share, Tucker must follow closely, and Lopez has to keep an eye on Durant's attacking basket as always, so the ghostly Brown will succeed in a sneak attack if he is not careful.
In the second quarter, Brown frequently played with Durant and McJames in this position to perform true and false pick-and-rolls, and tossed , scoring 10 points in a row, which was the biggest contributor to the Nets' approaching score, , but this also made "Le Browne" "Inflated" , which caused him to shoot again and again with confidence in the critical period of the fourth quarter and kept hitting the iron, ruining the Nets' hope of a comeback.
At the same time, the second half just started, The Nets also used two successful double pick-and-roll tactics in succession. Don't your defenders like to chase Durant behind his butt, so good, the Nets set up two "barricades" on the line to block people, then he can only stay in the dust, and Durant is facing the dumb The same Lopez made two open jumpers.
But I have to say, Durant and Irving's shooting feel is not very good today , they missed a lot of balls that are usually easyball for them, plus Joe Harris has no on the sight, so The Nets only scored 83 points in this game, and their poor state is a large part of the reason.
So I think that the Bucks' pick-and-roll defense still fails to do well, leaving a lot of easy scoring opportunities, and waits until Harden and Green return, this problem will make them more headaches, why?
Because Harden has the ability of to pass the ball to big centers that Irving and Durant can't reach, is more exquisite whether it is hitting the ball or passing the ball receiving , so Clarke Stone and others will have a stronger offensive threat, and will no longer be limited to playing pick-and-rolls with Brown now.
After Green returns, the Nets' pick-and-roll will even unlock a new skill . Green has an average of 41.2% 3-pointers shooting percentage this season. After his pick-and-roll, pops out to shoot 3-pointers The ability is obvious to all, and the impact of attacking the basket is also full. I have seen him on fire more than once this season. He cooperates with Harden very well. , Therefore, not only is the Bucks not doing a good enough defense now, but it will be more and more difficult to do in the future.
The second point is that the Bucks' own offense is still not open. This is the second reason why I predicted that they would be out. At the end of the three games of
, it has been proved that 's attack with Antetokounmpo as the core is impossible to kill the Nets, but will restrain the Bucks' .
opened the game, the Bucks attacked very well, why, because of the poor selection of the Nets, gave Antetokounmpo a lot of opportunities to directly hold the ball from the backcourt and quickly launch a counterattack, the power of Antetokounmpo’s offensive and defensive transformation , the league may be second only to the man in Los Angeles.
So Antetokounmpo at the beginning got excited, scoring and killing frequently. After Griffin two fouls, Antetokounmpo played more freely, and the Bucks' offensive strategy also changed a bit, completely Abandoned Lopez's pick-and-roll, let Antetokounmpo go to the three-point line for pick-and-roll, reducing Antetokounmpo's mid-range catch and Griffin's one-on-one , Antetokounmpo, who catches the ball down the three-point line, can start fast, With a stronger impact, Antetokounmpo made 7 of 10 shots and scored 15 points in the first quarter.
But what is the reason why Antetokounmpo only made 7 of 21 shots in the last three quarters? I am waiting for you in the basket .
Isn't this the way that the Innate Promise team dealt with time management master Yuan Daying in the basketball fire?? No matter how Antetokounmpo uses "Orchid Butterfly", you will end up in the basket after all, and the Nets "Wuji Zun" will wait for Brother Antetokounmpo under the basket. In this way, Antetokounmpo frequently shrunk.
And the Bucks today let Antetokounmpo attack more from the three-point line. The original intention is good, but in the end, he hurt his , and Antetokounmpo, who could not attack by force, fell into a vicious circle of fighting with himself again, and simply stood in the three-point line. The sub-line shot wildly. Today, Antetokounmpo, who made 1 of 8 three-pointers, made his three-point shooting rate in the entire playoffs reach this level, 12.5%, 4 of 32 shots, cured the obsessive-compulsive disorder, But almost killed myself .
Moreover, when Antetokounmpo falls into the situation of strong play and strong shooting, the offensive rhythm of the entire team is disrupted, the Bucks basically cannot form effective cooperation on the field, and low scores are normal.
Fortunately, the Nets are also given a chance today. The Bucks will pull back a city for the time being, but if the wounded over there returns, after the entire Galaxy Battleship is assembled, will there be a savage deer left, can they escape? At least for now, there is little hope.
