I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 300 The desperate king wins the finals for the first time!
"Kwame Brown's jump ball was a little careless, Verrati Divac successfully jumped to get the ball, Mike Bibby advanced with the ball, and the Kings took the lead in starting the first attack of the game."

Next, the ball was quickly passed to Doug Christie.

In the past two seasons, Doug Christie has improved his three-point skills, and Joe Johnson's defense against Doug Christie is not bad.

However, Doug Christie still rushed out before He Li helped defend and hit the ball.

"Perfect three-pointer, Doug Christie's shot this time is really a wonderful shot!"

"Before the game, we all thought that the Bucks had won half of the championship.

Unexpectedly, the king didn't have the slightest idea of ​​admitting defeat.

This is the Bucks' first home game in the Finals, but the Kings are trying to get their first win in the Finals!
This is the league, this is the competition, players on the court, there is no retreat at all, only forward! "

The Kings and the Lakers had just finished the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals, and the next day they ran to Milwaukee to play the finals against the Bucks.

Originally, the gap between the Kings and the Bucks was not small. In this case, the Kings should take the initiative to give up the first game of the finals and adjust the overall state of the team as soon as possible.

However, the King didn't do that, but chose to head-to-head with the Bucks as soon as he came up.

In fact, after careful calculation, this is indeed the only way for the king to live to death in an attempt to defeat the stag.

The king has fought repeatedly in the west, and the overall mental outlook of the team has been greatly different.

They trampled many powerful enemies under their feet, and forged a brand new western champion with tenacity and iron blood.

In the eyes of the Kings players, there is no doubt that they are the strongest team this season, and they are the strongest players during this time!

This also means that the king who has embarked on the road of invincibility has no possibility of turning back, even if he stops for a while or takes a break.

The Kings can only rely on the breath they are currently holding in their mouths to attack the Bucks strongly, and get one or two points first to stabilize their advantage.

Otherwise, they can only bear the ruthless crush of the Bucks who are so powerful.

"We won't lose, this year's championship will definitely be us!" Peja Stojakovic said with other teammates when he returned to the defense.

In the past, the boss of the Kings was Webber, but today Webber was injured at the beginning of the regular season. Peja once led the team to second place in the Western Conference, second only to the Big Three Lakers.

With Weber's comeback, the King's record has actually declined. Who is the king's core has become a problem that must be resolved within the king.

Facts have proved that even in the playoffs, Peja, who is the team's first scoring point, has the ability to lead the team to achieve even better results.

Therefore, now Peja has also shouldered the responsibility of the boss of the team, motivating and infecting his teammates all the time, leading the team to success and victory.

"Don't worry, just give me the ball!"

Next came the Bucks' offense, and He Li asked Penny for the ball just after halftime.

Penny passed the ball decisively. He Ligang observed the king's position and was about to respond to a three-pointer. The king immediately dispatched Peja and Doug Christie to double-team He Li.

Since there is still one step away from the three-point line, He Li is not the kind of person who takes a slanted sword and insists on going his own way.

Seeing that Joe Johnson was unguarded not far away, he immediately passed the ball.

He Li is taller, so there is no obstacle in passing the ball.

In singles, Joe received the ball very simply, and he didn't dribble. He just paused for a little adjustment before taking off, and then pulled out his hand outside the three-point line.

Under the wide open, singles Joe naturally hit this three-pointer, helping the Bucks successfully respond to Doug Christie.

However, just as Joe hit a three-pointer in singles, the Kings started a fast break in a premeditated manner.

It was too late to say it, and Webber, who was standing under the basket, immediately took the ball, took a step back and walked to the bottom line, and then passed the ball forward.

At this time, Peja and Doug Christie had already run to the frontcourt. Peja barely caught the ball under the pursuit of He Li and Penny, then dribbled one step, turned around to get rid of He Li, and then made an emergency stop to shoot a jumper.

"He Li's reaction speed is very fast, and He Li immediately noticed the king's intention to play a fast break.

He Li's chasing speed is also very fast, but this season's Peja is too mature and too strong.

Peja used his skills to ignore He Li's talent. Peja did not waste the king's fast break opportunity, but continued to help the king consolidate the lead. "

There is one thing to say, the King's fast break cooperation is indeed very good, and Peja's handling is also quite in place.

He Li wanted to perform a James-style chasing hat, but Peja didn't give it a chance at all. Instead, He Li used He Li as a background board to show off one-handed possession of the ball.

Regarding this situation, He Li was indeed a bit apprehensive, and wanted to call one back quickly.

But at this time, the Bucks only have He Li and Penny in the backcourt. He Li can launch a fast break, but the only one who can immediately shoot the ball in the frontcourt is single player Joe.

He Li himself didn't have the chance to participate in the offense, so he could only let Penny dribble the ball across the half court as before, and then he asked for the ball to find a chance to hit one.

However, the king's attitude towards He Li is quite firm, that is, Peja and Doug Christie pressed together to double-team He Li.

In the previous two playoffs, He Li had faced the defensive intensity of Jordan's law, and it was natural for the two-team perimeter defense.

Ever since, He Li did not choose a rational and team style of play this time, but took the initiative to attack slightly from above.

"He Li should shoot decisively! It's just two people double-teaming, there is still a lot of room for shooting!"

The Bucks commentator on the spot saw that He Li forced a shot in the face of double-teaming. Instead of saying that He Li made a bad shot choice and not enough team, he teased He Li for not being decisive enough before.

Of course, it turns out that the ridicule of the on-site commentary was not wrong.

He Li's physical talent for shooting and strong three-point ability, even if he faces double-teaming from the outside, he has a high degree of confidence in making the ball.

When He Li hit the three-pointer and the situation on the field instantly changed to a one-point lead for the Bucks, most of the Bucks fans stood up and cheered for He Li.

"FMVP! FMVP! FMVP!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Champion, champ, champ!"

In addition to these conventional slogans, there are scoring champions and three-point champions.

In short, the Bradley Center suddenly became very lively, with applause, cheers, and applause, which could not be calm for a long time.

However, in the face of the next two double-team attacks, He Li failed to make the ball as the Bucks fans wished.

It has to be said that the Kings' ability to reach the finals does not depend solely on their offense, but on the Princeton system.

The Kings reached the finals this season and have also made great improvements on the defensive end.

He Li can usually ignore the defense of outside players, or even double-team.

But facing the defense of Peja and Doug Christie at the same time, especially the harassment of small moves, sometimes it is normal to miss a three-pointer.

In fact, He Li can make the ball. He Li could do better in the previous two shots, but he was in a hurry in the end.

Perhaps it was because of knowing that the opponent in the finals was the king, and that he was the king who was exhausted from a long battle, He Li was a little bit flustered.

He Li underestimated the opponent, and also strictly prevented his teammates from suddenly attacking with heavy punches to grab the FMVP, so He Li shot a little casually, and then failed to keep improving, wasting the ball twice.

Of course, He Li quickly calmed down after the Kings overtook the score after missing two consecutive shots.

This is the finals, so it's better to be cautious.

He Li knew very well that the Bucks lineup had a considerable advantage, and the configuration was relatively reasonable.

On the court, his shots don't have to be all difficult shots.

With so many outstanding teammates, He Li can, like James, pursue simple shots and make his basic and advanced data look better.

In He Li's view, this year is the year to achieve three consecutive championships.

But over the past three years, the real strong opponent seems to be only the Lakers at the beginning.

So, will He Li's gold content of the three consecutive championships be criticized because the opponent is not strong enough?

Others don't have such troubles, but He Li does.

Therefore, when there is no way to change the opponent and increase the gold content of his three consecutive championships, He Li can only make himself look stronger.

With the championship basically already in his pocket, it can be regarded as a more realistic pursuit of He Li to get some statistics in the finals.

Ever since, He Li has turned back into a selfless and team-oriented He Li. Instead of pursuing shots, He Li pursues a more comfortable shooting space.

As the scores between the Bucks and the Kings continued to stagger, He Li played healthy basketball without any effort.

Seeing Joe's scoring data approaching him in singles, He Li asked Boozer or Karl Malone to help him as a cover.

With the help of screen shots, even if the screen quality is not very high, He Li usually has a good singles chance, which is better than being double-teamed.

Time passed quickly, because most of the two sides ended with shooting, and there were not many free throws. In addition, the point difference was not widened, and there were not many timeouts. The first quarter ended quickly.

Because He Li didn't have much desire to attack, the Kings saw it clearly and turned to strengthen the defensive strength against other Bucks players. After the first quarter, the score was only 27 to 29. The Bucks at home only got a 2-point advantage.

However, in the second quarter, the Bucks gradually opened up the score by running and bombing again.

Halfway through the second quarter, Kings coach Rick Adelman saw that something was wrong, so he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, removed Webber and replaced him with Brad Miller, and fully operated the Princeton system.

Facing the King's Princeton system, it is impossible for the Bucks to be completely defenseless against the King for their own running and bombing.

In other words, while the Bucks were defending the Kings, the Kings unilaterally increased the attack time of a single round, so that the Bucks could not play more rounds.

And because the king's outside players are constantly running, the stamina of the Bucks' outside players is also greatly depleted, and the shooting stability in the offensive link is reduced.

Fortunately, the Bucks can attack more than just outside.

After replacing Brad Miller abroad, the Bucks will undoubtedly have more advantages inside.

Relying on the lead in the first half of the second quarter, as well as the grasp of the inside offensive shooting percentage and the protection of rebounds in the second half, after the first half, the Bucks have extended their scoring advantage to 8 points.

"15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists." During the intermission, He Li checked his statistics.

"It seems that we need to work harder in the second half!" He Li thought to himself.

Not surprisingly, He Li, who played the whole game, will score 30+ double-doubles. If you focus on assists, 30+3 double-doubles will be fine.

However, in the past, He Li could always score 40+ points in the finals.

Today, in order to play more easy balls, the number of shots in the first half was reduced. This makes He Li's data look like it is not easy to achieve 40+ points in this game.

According to He Li's style of play, the third quarter is usually the period when He Li makes a lot of shots.

Since the point difference between the Bucks and the Kings has not been widened too much, keeping the game in suspense, then He Li, as the head of the Bucks, naturally needs to make the Bucks fans happy in the third quarter.

"Let the cheers fill the entire game time!" He Li said when he re-entered the game in the third quarter.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bucks had the ball. He Li asked Payton for the ball, and was ready to expand the point difference to more than 10 points as soon as he came up.

Payton did not hesitate and passed the ball to He Li.

He Li immediately called Karl Malone to come over as a cover, and the king played by ear, double-teaming He Li back and forth to prevent He Li from showing off his might.

However, before Karl Malone ran to He Li, He Li shot a cold arrow and made a three-pointer.

"This... He Li's shot this time is a bit hasty!"

"No matter how hasty it is, He Li made the shot!"

"Haha, that's what I said."

"He Li deserves to be the MVP of the finals! He is really a top-notch player in the league!"

"He Li tried to kill the game with a super long three-pointer! We don't know the result yet, but looking at the dumbfounded expressions of the Kings players, it seems that the effect is still there."

As soon as He Li came up, he made a super long three-pointer. Even the commentator of the Bucks was a little frightened. Fortunately, the ball flew halfway, and it seemed that it could be hit.

When the ball flew into the basket smoothly, it was natural to praise He Li again.

It is said that He Li used a super long three-pointer to help the Bucks widen the point difference to 11 points. This is indeed a big blow to the king's overall morale.

In the next round, the Kings dropped the ball inside and passed it to Webb to handle. Weber didn't dare to take a shot facing Karl Malone's defense, so he had to find an opportunity to pass the ball to Bibby on the outside.

Bibby found that Payton had been on the defense, and tried a three-threat tentative step to shake out of position and make a shot.

However, the experienced Payton was not fooled at all. Instead, he seized Bibby's opportunity to dribble the ball with a low center of gravity, and stretched out his hand to slap the flying ball.

By the time Bibby reacted, Payton had stretched out his hand to push Bibby, then strode forward, grabbed the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, and took off from the free throw line with one hand and dunked.

"Who the hell are you! I'm Gary Payton!" After the dunk, Payton still turned around to mock Bibby.

Bibby glared at Payton, wanted to retaliate but couldn't, so he had to pick up the ball honestly and prepare for a free throw.

As He Li and Payton attacked and defended, the morale of the king gradually began to disintegrate.

Because the king's defensive attitude towards He Li declined in the first half, He Li scored 3 goals in a row at the beginning of the third quarter.

Then there is no more then.

Unless someone breaks out suddenly, the king can only be crushed ruthlessly by the Bucks and become a loser.

The result was naturally no. Instead of breaking out, Weber seemed out of place with the team.

Peja wants to break out, but Bibby and Webb have digested a lot of ball rights, and Peja is a bit like a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

As for Bibby, he wanted to win the championship, but if he couldn't even get past Payton, thinking about it would be nothing but fantasy.

In the end, the score was 92 to 109. The Bucks beat the Kings by 17 points and won Game [-] of the Finals.
