I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 342 The effectiveness of the three armies, bloodbath the piston!
"Hey, what's going on with this old guy, how did he suddenly become so strong?"

"Haha, don't forget, he is the champion!"

Durant stared dumbfounded at the big dog who showed his power on the court and scored 4 points in 9 minutes.

Under the explanation of others, Durant recalled that the Bucks had the highest pick not him, but the big dog.

Although the Big Dog has looked like a dead dog in the Bucks for the past two years, it doesn't mean that the Big Dog's fuel tank is completely out of gas.

This is just because the big dog is getting old and the regular season is not that important, so the regular season maintains health and contributes to the Bucks at critical moments in the playoffs. This is the real way of the big dog and the purpose of returning to the Bucks.

Having said that, the roster for the playoffs is still relatively important. The Bucks put the other veterans aside and deliberately brought the big dog, which is not just about feelings.

When I traded Big Dog back then, the relationship can be said to have been severed.

It is because the management and coaching staff knew that Big Dog can still play in the playoffs, so Big Dog was allowed to enter the playoffs list.

Now entering the end of his career, although his singles ability has declined, he has re-practiced a fairly good three-pointer.

In addition, the CIC has not been pulled down, and the skills that should be there are still there.

Playing next to He Li is more about catching and shooting off the ball, and he will not suffer so much defensive pressure.

Once the hand feels good and a good shooting opportunity is obtained, it is also normal for a sudden wave of explosions to overwhelm the opponent.

This is the case today. The Pistons made full preparations before the game, Prince restricted He Li, Hamilton pegged Wade, double Wallace guarded the penalty area, and the Big Three of the Bucks have been pegged.

Unexpectedly, the Bucks temporarily replaced a big dog and tore a hole in the Pistons' defensive system.

Pistons head coach Philip Saunders did not react in time, and was hit by the Bucks in a 12-4 spurt. By the time he reacted, the Pistons had already fallen into a disadvantage.

Originally, Durant wanted to help the Bucks open the score and defeat the Pistons after playing in the second quarter, but now it seems that he is not needed at all.

However, the sudden outbreak of the big dog does not mean that Durant has less playing time in this game.

On the contrary, after discovering that the Pistons were only targeting the main force, and not so strict against other role players, George Karl reacted quickly. After a while, he adjusted the lineup and made substitutions to shoot.

The Pistons studied for five seasons, and their plan to lock up the Bucks became a joke.

Although the main players of the Bucks have taken fewer shots and the data has declined, it has become easier for the team to win the victory.

The Bucks' defense is not weak, but the Pistons' offense is not that strong.

The Bucks rotated the wheels with ten players and killed the Pistons, who were the main force. The Pistons, who needed to invest a lot of energy in defense, naturally couldn't do the same well on the offensive end.

It is precisely because of this that the G1 Bucks scored 97 points, but the Pistons only had 81 points. The Bucks easily won the Pistons by 16 points.

Let the wild words that the Pistons will not lose a game before the game become a joke that they will not win a game.

The Bucks have too much experience with big tailwinds and crushing games.

After winning G1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, G2 played at home again. This time, the home fans also participated in it, repeating the trash talk of the Pistons before the game in order to ridicule the Pistons and engage in the mentality of the Pistons players.

The veterans of the Pistons were not affected much on the surface, but in the game, sometimes, they even got angry from time to time.

In the end, the situation where the technical offender was calmed down naturally appeared.

Originally, it was very difficult for the Pistons to win against the Bucks. If something happened to the technical offender, it would be unreasonable for the Bucks not to win.

Besides, the Bucks in G2 played a little better than in G1. Although the big dog was targeted, Durant suddenly broke out.

Recently, Durant has the potential to play a ghostly game.

He didn't play very well in the game, and this time he followed He Li to beat the dog in the water.

In a wave of offense in the third quarter, he scored three consecutive three-pointers and directly stopped the Pistons.

The playoffs can defend against stars, but they can't prevent unexpected outbreaks of such role players.

Durant hit a critical strike, allowing the Bucks to break through double digits in a game's total score, and finally relied on better scoring to win the game more easily.

Moving to G3, what should come is still coming.

It was the Bucks' home game before, and the Pistons still had reservations in their defensive actions.

After losing two games in a row to G3, and returning to the Pistons' home court, the Pistons will naturally do everything they can.

In fact, the Bucks players also know that the league does not want the Bucks to win the championship again.

Especially sweeping all the way to win the championship, completely crushing the other teams in the league.

There are 16 teams in the playoffs every year, and there is only one championship.

If the wind and water can take turns, other teams are still interested in competing for the championship, but once the championship is monopolized by each team, and the league has no new revenue-generating points in the short term, then the owners of other teams are not fools, and it is true to sell them early to make a fortune.

It is precisely because of this that in G3, the referees basically turned a deaf ear to the Pistons' big move against the Bucks.

The Pistons fans are also devoted, facing the situation where the Bucks players were pushed and hugged by the Pistons players, they strongly supported the Pistons players, and some whistled at the Bucks players as a provocation.

In this case, the difficulty of the test for the Bucks players to play on the court can be imagined.

As the boss of the Bucks, He Li was originally the primary target of being targeted.

But the team is ahead in terms of strength. Even though the Pistons and referees make things difficult for them, the Bucks can still hold on to the score.

He Li naturally couldn't surrender at this time, He Li had to attack the basket more resolutely again and again.

Since drawing fouls doesn't work, the jump shot will determine the winner.

Throwing shots on the move, straight-arm hooks, small hooks under the basket, and breakthrough points make it easier for teammates to score points with three-pointers in the bottom corner.

He Li contributed all his energy, while other Bucks teammates also played extremely resolutely.

He Li made 32 of 14 shots, 10 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 2 free throws. Although he was inefficient but still scored 33 points, the Bucks 85 to 82, with a slight advantage of three points, won the crucial Game 3 with difficulty and completely pushed the Pistons to the edge of the cliff.

The Bucks overcame all difficulties and defeated the Pistons in three consecutive games. This brought great psychological pressure to the Pistons.

At this moment, in the hearts of some Pistons players, the idea that the Bucks are invincible has already been born.

Perhaps the five Pistons are better, but no matter how strong the Pistons are, they will only get sixty to seventy points after a game.

And if the Pistons want to win the Bucks, defense alone is definitely not enough.

With the help of the referee in G3, the Bucks, who are good at scoring, were limited to only 85 points in the game.
But the problem is that the Pistons encountered a high-intensity defense from the Bucks, and it was not easy for the team to score 90 points.

Once other rotation players except the main players can't score, or don't score much, then the Pistons are finished.

The Bucks will prove once again that jump shots can win games and jump shots can win championships.

"Massacre! The Bucks' main force defeated the Pistons in three quarters. The backup rookie Kevin Durant didn't talk about his football ethics. He scored 23 points in garbage time in the fourth quarter. The Bucks finally scored 121 points. The Pistons scored 77 points in a bloodbath with only 44 points."

The playoffs are a stage for stars to show their strength and test their quality. After the baptism of the playoffs, a player with superstar potential will grow rapidly, even if he was only a first-year player before.

Like He Li back then, Durant was only a first-year rookie, but under the baptism of the Bucks' winning culture throughout the season, he took the most correct and fastest path to the championship.

During Durant's growth process, no step was wrong, and no minute was wasted.

After three rounds of playoffs, Durant finally achieved a gorgeous transformation in the fourth quarter of G4 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Perhaps at this stage, Durant can't face-to-face confrontation with stars with mature bodies and skills, but when he meets those ordinary rotation players in the league, it's really one-on-one.

Now Durant is only focusing on defense and playing off the ball. He can score 4 points efficiently in the fourth quarter of G23 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing.

The Bucks don't need Durant to make the core contribution of the team in important games, because in Durant's good position, he can bear more pressure than Durant, but he can play better.

20 points in a playoff quarter?He Li has already played it out, not just once, but a total of 58 times.

It can be said that He Li scored 20 points in a single quarter in the playoffs more than many superstar players scored 20 points in a single quarter in the regular season.

Of course, when He Li reaches the playoffs every year, he will directly play four rounds until he wins the finals.

There are almost 20 more games per year. Now it is the sixth season of playoffs, and He Li has also played more than 100 playoff games.

Sometimes He Li will score 2 points in a single quarter twice in a single game, and it is not surprising that he will score 20 points in a single quarter in two games on average.

Among other things, He Li has already had 40 playoff games with 31+ points in a single game, and 30 games with 87+ points in a single game.

As long as he is not injured in the game, He Li will be full of energy in the playoffs.

Sometimes although the efficiency is not so high, you may score 30 or 40 points in the playoffs. This is ability, and most stars do not have the ability.
