Chapter 620 Strong, but not strong enough(2/2)

The process and results of the game can be said to be completely expected.

The Bucks resisted, but their resistance was basically ineffective.

To put it bluntly, the Bucks are good at one-star shooting, and the Hornets are not afraid of it at all.

Not to mention that the Hornets have played a lot of small lineups this season. In regular games, Horford can carry Antetokounmpo, and Butler or Durant can help defend, which can greatly limit Antetokounmpo's strong play at the basket.

Moreover, they also have a second lineup. The mobile, black and tough Biyombo who was traded this season is just for Antetokounmpo.

So to put it bluntly, Giannis Antetokounmpo is not shooting now, and the Bucks are shooting all over again, which is too easy to be targeted.

And conversely, the Bucks have little choice in getting Durant.

It's impossible for them to let Antetokounmpo guard Durant, and the fact is that Durant is still extremely hot in the playoffs. If you don't use Antetokounmpo, no one else can guard him, let alone the Hornets, Butler and Horford.

These two scores are stronger.

"The Bucks are screwed."

The little fat man said it very directly.

Although, this may be expected.

After all, judging from the Bucks' performance against strong teams in the regular season, this is completely expected.

"70% probability."

Lin Ying was more conservative.

Seven points were a comparison of strength. For the remaining three points, he directly picked up his phone and sent Durant a text message.

At this time, the little fat man came over and took a look out of curiosity.

Then, he saw Lin Ying reminding Durant to be careful of being stepped on.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has yet to show off his stepping talent. If it weren't for Porzingis's rapid fall from heaven to hell, he wouldn't have thought of it for a while.

But now that it's happened, and the Bucks are watching being rubbed by the Hornets, it's hard for him not to be reminded of this.

After Lin Ying sent the text message, he put his phone aside, and then changed the game to the Warriors and Trail Blazers.

The two games were not played alternately. In fact, half of the game was played here and the other game had already started.

But when the game was over, the Trail Blazers had already been beaten by the Warriors.

Lillard, it’s still not good to meet Curry.

After a while, Lin Ying received a call back from Durant.

When I picked up the phone, the voice on the other end was still a little noisy. It looked like this guy had just returned to the locker room.

After a while, the voice quieted down, and Durant must have left the locker room.

In this episode, Huo was very proud of himself on the phone. He did not forget to remind Lin Ying of what he had agreed to do. Finally, when it came to the stepping-stone matter, he also said that he knew it.

"Have you forgotten what happened in the finals in the past two years? I have enough experience in this area."

Lin Ying felt relieved when he heard this.

James and Pachulia failed in trying to step into Durant's footsteps. Compared with Antetokounmpo, these two are seniors, and Durant should be aware of this.

After hanging up the phone, he also turned his attention to the next game against the Raptors.

Durant won so easily, and he had to work hard to beat the Raptors.



The game between the Nets and the Raptors is highly anticipated.

Because it's not just Lin Ying and Jokic who watched the Hornets game, most fans' perceptions are almost the same as theirs.

So when the other group's Eastern Conference semifinals have lost all suspense, the remaining group will naturally become the focus of attention.

Moreover, if we really want to talk about it, the Nets and Raptors can compete in every position, but there is no absolute advantage.

The Nets' strongest players this season are their two-core team, Lin Ying and Jokic.

Generally speaking, when a team plays against them, at least one point will be severely blown, causing the defense to focus on one thing and not the other.

But not the Raptors, especially with Leonard.

It is no exaggeration to say that Leonard is the only person currently in service who can compete with Lin Ying.

Moreover, even at the center position, Jokic's matchup advantage will be infinitely reduced after trading for Gasol.

In other words, the Nets' dual-core will still have an advantage, but it's really not obvious.

Then, the Raptors' advantages in other positions will be amplified.

Lowry is the point guard, he has a top 3D Danny Green at the point guard, plus Siakam/Ibaka on the forward line.

With this lineup, even from Lin Ying's perspective, looking back, the Raptors can win the championship, as long as Leonard performs normally, it is reasonable.

So this series, no matter from which angle you look at it, is a win.

The Barclays Center was packed to capacity, and the media area was also crowded with people.

In the commentary box, all the TNT Big Four are also in place.

Before each game, it is essential to assess the team's strength and then make game predictions.

Because tonight's game is so evenly matched, everyone's opinions are different and somewhat complicated.

Smith is more optimistic about the Raptors, just like the theoretical analysis mentioned before, but he thinks the Nets can win the game tonight with the advantage of being at home.

McGrady is also optimistic about the Raptors. His view is that the Raptors have a more reasonable configuration, and Leonard showed amazing form in the first round.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with his having played for the Raptors.

The remaining O'Neal and Barkley were the rare ones to support the Nets together.

O'Neal's reason is simple. When you think that a team that has won three consecutive championships is going to lose, that is a very stupid idea in itself.

Buckley’s point of view is very interesting:
