The Bucks have the second-fastest offense in the league and the second-most three-pointers in the league.The main offensive routine of the Bucks is Antetokounmpo cut inside, break through and counterattack with the ball, and help a group of shooters to open up space.This style of play can really be played casually in the regular season, and it is especially effective to abuse weak teams.

Facing them, the 76ers are just like other teams dealt with Xiao Zhan back then, and they gave enough attention strategically.

Give up the offensive rebound to prevent the Greek from rushing;
If the Greek breaks through with the ball, the flank attack must keep up;

Once the Greek doesn't have the ball in his hands, he will be left empty on the outside, and then focus on marking Jabari Parker and others who are capable of forcibly breaking through the defense of the position.

These three strategies are simple and effective.

These strategies continued to work in the second game. Although the Bucks allowed the Greek to take the initiative to shoot from the outside and scored 3 three-pointers, his two-point shooting percentage fell to 20%, which was far below the standard.

He looks more and more like James who just entered the league.

However, although James' mid-range and long-range shots are unstable, as long as he makes up his mind to shoot, his shooting percentage will increase, and this trend is completely invisible to the Greeks.

On the contrary, his rookie season was the best season for his three-point shooting, and he has been declining all the way since then. Now he can't see him in his rookie period at all. He is a player with a soft touch on the outside.

(PS: If you have doubts, you can look at the highlights of Antetokounmpo's rookie season. After reading it, compare the highlights of his MVP season. The shooting feel is visibly rigid)
Without stable shooting, in the real playoffs, it is to expose the weakness to the eyes of the enemy.

What really killed the game was the 76ers' mid-range shooting.

Wei Xia and Kobe, two well-known CIC crazy monsters are ready to shoot at any time.

The Bucks' defensive strategy is also very clear; use their size advantage to protect the basket, and focus on squat-style defense. Regarding the 76ers' choice to give up mid-range shots, their choice is effective for those players who play magic balls.

When the Bucks' outside shooters caught up with the score, the 76ers' outside dual-core unsolvable mid-range power.Consecutive mid-range shots, plus two three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, pulled the score to 20 points.Therefore, the game will be concluded.

Young Giannis Antetokounmpo said he didn't know why they were powerless in front of the 76ers.

"We are obviously younger and more energetic."

But the night is over, and they will leave Philly and return to Milwaukee with the spoiled-for-young-team drama that the media has swarmed over.

In the field of competitive sports, any chicken soup for the soul is nothing more than the sympathy and charity given to the losers by the strong and the deformed honey, and it is an easy obliteration and ruthless characterization of their continuous efforts for a whole season or years.Behind every cheap sympathy, there is always a cruel smell.

From the perspective of 76ers fans, the pressure brought by the Bucks to them is not as good as that of the Raptors.

This team is too young, young people can perform miracles, but also be overwhelmed by pressure.

The 76ers didn't give the Bucks a chance to create a miracle. For this team, they directly chose to attack hard, which made the promising Greek play a dismal round.

The two back in Milwaukee were like two pre-scripted variety shows.

How to fight, how to proceed, where the conflict is, and where the climax is are all set by the screenwriter (76 people).

Both parties participating in the program just need to follow the script.

The Greek was beaten to single digits and his shooting percentage was dismal. The Bucks were defeated by 25 points.

"We lost without dignity!"

Kidd was very angry, and the team's loss was unacceptable to him.

But morale has collapsed, and no one is angry about it. The Bucks have been brainwashed by the poisonous chicken soup from the outside world. They really think that they are still young and have an infinitely bright future. Even if they lose this year, they can come back next year.

This is real.

But if they lose the series without giving their all, no matter how bright the future is, people will doubt whether these people have the courage to fight with all their strength.

There are still far more voices of comfort for the Bucks than criticism.

From the perspective of the outside world, they are the future.

This is also true.

After all, all the teams that have risen to dominate have a characteristic, that is, they select the players whose destiny belongs to them in the draft.

The Bucks selected the Destiny's Greek Monster in a rare low-quality draft, and only used the No. 15 pick in the first round.This kind of rare luck will not fall on them for no reason, and good things will definitely happen in the future.

Athletics eager for Milwaukee's professional basketball renaissance have high hopes for the Bucks at the moment of 3-0.

The Greek said to the media: "We will play harder in the fourth game!"

Yes, tougher.

Compared with the first three games where they lost an average of 20 points per game, the Bucks struggled fiercely in the fourth game, which aroused the tyrannical desire in the 76ers.

Sometimes the prey of rebellion is the prey of excitement.

The 76ers don't want to easily reach the conference finals, at least they need some pressure, right?

But the Bucks looked better than the Raptors until the fourth game.

They resisted for a while, although it didn't directly affect the result, but at least they showed the blood of young people.

During the midfield interview, Kobe "highly affirmed" the Bucks' efforts: "They are a team stronger than the Raptors."

Otherwise, it is easy to say that Kobe is easy to leave a story when he is interviewing. This person speaks without brain at all after exercising.

Isn't it a shame to judge a team that is about to be 4-0 than another team that has already been 4-0?
"This game is about the honor of Milwaukee. Our goal is not to lose fewer points!" Kidd raised a grand wish, "Our goal is to let the 76ers lose here!"

Perhaps the youngsters of the Bucks were aroused to blood.

Perhaps they have finally discovered that their talents can perform miracles.

They fought harder in the second half, but the Sixers were already a tough team to beat.

The strength of the 76ers' offense is not in Wei Xia, but in other people. Wei Xia is only responsible for attracting the defense, and then gives the shooters free play.

The 76ers under Jay Wright have embraced the small ball era after several years of training.

This season, they are the team that shoots the second most three-pointers, second only to the magic ball monsters in Houston.

Their style of play is much more reasonable than magic ball, and they regard three-pointers as the main scoring method, but they do not prohibit players from shooting mid-range shots.

Three-pointers are very important, but it's not impossible without three-pointers.

Players who can shoot in the middle distance still have the authority to shoot in the middle distance.The three-point shot is ruthless, and it will also open up the offensive space of the mid-range shooter.

It is impossible for the Bucks to defeat a team with infinite chemistry by relying on talent alone.

The 76ers' three-pointers are like a sharp long sword, white in and red out.

4 is better than 0
Relying on their offense in the second half, they beat the Bucks by 29 points.

In the four games, none of the Bucks lost less than 20 points. The hardest fourth game was the one that lost the most.

"Do you really think the Bucks are stronger than the Raptors?"

Journalists focus on picking things up.

Cousins' emotional intelligence is compared with Kobe's, that is fifty steps to one hundred steps, and he said directly to the reporter: "Anyway, they are very weak."

"There is also a difference between 4 and 0." Wei Xia often seems out of place with this group because of his high emotional intelligence. "The problem with the Raptors is not with the players. They lack a good helmsman and leader, while the Bucks seem to have great talent, but they are still young and don't know how to make good use of their strength."

猛龙万万想不到都是4比0，场均输20分的4比0居然还强于他们的4比0。

It's not as bad as they dragged a patient as the core.

In the West during the same period, the Lakers were in full swing. Like the 76ers, they swept two rounds and advanced to the conference finals.

Their biggest opponent, the Golden State Warriors, as the defending champions, does not have enough dominance.

Lost one game in the first round and another game against the Spurs in the semifinals.

You must know that this Spurs made the playoffs without the team's number one core Leonard.

The Warriors have shown obvious aging this season. Green only has defense and support, and the offense has completely lost its threat; Gasol and Green are mutually hurting each other in terms of tactical positioning, one affecting space and the other affecting speed.

Without Iguodala, no one on the Warriors' flanks can cover the bottom line. The regular season's second-best record in the Western Conference depends on Curry, Wall, and Thompson's golden three shots to turn the tide.

In the playoffs, the problem of poor depth of the bench and bad space on the court is too obvious.

They stumbled to the Western Conference Finals, facing the mighty Los Angeles Lakers.

A super team composed of two of the top three players in the league and the top five guards in the league, it took one season to run in.

The 76ers in the Eastern Conference, the opponent they have to face is the Boston Celtics, who have the second record in the Eastern Conference while having a team to help them.

They are undoubtedly the luckiest team in recent years.

The right trade at the right time, the hiring of a young but promising college coach, the foundation of a strong team without a culture of losing, and a team that gambled on its future for its present, paid off when they became competitive.

The Celtics continue to supplement talented rookies by using the rotten fruits of others.

During the offseason last year, James jumped out of his contract to join the Lakers. When he left Cleveland for the second time, his deputy Kyrie Irving used uglier ways to force the team to trade.

Irving managed to divert Cleveland's anger toward James onto him.

Coupled with the guidance of public opinion from the media, Cleveland believed this: If Kyrie had no intention of leaving the team, LeBron would most likely not leave.

In fact, the two things had nothing to do with each other, but the people of Cleveland believed it.They are not stupid, they just want to find a reason to divert their anger.After all, without Irving's Cavaliers, how can there be competitiveness? How can James, who is pointing directly at Jordan's throne, be willing to ruin his great youth in Cleveland?

In this matter, both sides are right, and the only one to say that there is something wrong is Irving.

The reason he left the Cavaliers was to go to a team with himself as the core, but when he left the team, James had already traveled westward, and the Cavaliers had completely become his team, but he refused to inherit the throne. If he insisted on leaving, the fans could not be blamed for venting their emotions on him.
