929. Fifty points
At the end of the third quarter, Mirotic was the only starting player at the Bucks, and Antetokounmpo and others sat on the sidelines in a daze with their towels on their backs.
Tonight was definitely a torment for them, and they didn't want to continue every second. Antetokounmpo thought that Feizhe Stadium was a headache for him for the first time.
The other four are George Hill, Brogdon, Connaughton and Iliasova. In fact, they have not given up completely, otherwise these important rotation players will also get off the court.
The Lakers continued to play step by step, and LeBron was at his rest time. Stephenson and Ingram were on the front line, while the center was still McGee.
In the Bucks' offensive round, Brogden made a wonderful pass from the outside to cut Ilyasova at the basket, who lightly put the ball into the basket.
Lin Feng is the core character on the Lakers' court. He began to control the rhythm by pressing time and trying to gain something for every attack. The best way to ensure success rate is to play singles, and to give the ball to the person with the strongest singles ability on the court, there is no doubt that Lin Feng himself.
The teammates knew it well, so they used the screening to get him space and a suitable defensive player.
The ball was given to McGee at the low post, and the back was played twice and then re-sent to the outside line. The basketball turned around in the hands of the five players and finally completed the mid-range jump shot by Finson!
Lin Feng is specially treated by defensive players, so there must be one person on the court. Fenson doesn't play much tonight and is very active when receiving the ball. He can help the team continue to consolidate his advantage.
I have to say that after Antetokounmpo got out, the Bucks' impact on the Lakers' inside was greatly reduced. Brogdon was locked on the outside by Lin Feng, and Hill had to choose to fight alone. This time he succeeded.
Kuzma planned to make an offensive foul at the basket. The first time the big man Ilyasova rushed into the basket and was knocked down, but the Turks chose to pass it back to the outside.
The fallen Mr. Ku immediately got up again and continued to stand. The second time Hill rushed in with the ball, the two of them hit a strong sturdy but blew his block.
Kuzma didn't understand the referee's decision, so he spread his hands to the referee to argue, and pointed at his nose to indicate the victim's identity.
Without results, Lin Feng stepped forward to comfort him. Kuzma was very brave just now and used his flesh and blood to continuously block the opponent's impact, but the result was not ideal.
Both free throws were made, and the Bucks gained both rounds after the timeout.
The Lakers continued their own rhythm, Lin Feng dribbled from the left outside and waited for his teammates to run. A rear-end collision occurred at the edge of the free throw line, and Kuzma and Iliasova both fell to the ground and entangled.
This time, Kuzma fought for a defensive foul and replayed through the big screen. In fact, McGee hit Ilyasova when he entered the basket to cover, and the latter staggered and knocked Kuzma who was passing by behind him.
Mr. Ku was innocent. McGee smiled and patted the little brother on the shoulder, which was considered a comfort given to him by the big brother.
But it doesn't matter. The Lakers sent the ball in the frontcourt, and Lin Feng made a fake shot to Ku Shao pass and received the ball in an empty pass to find his face! The guy ran back and slipped the bottom line, and dunked the ball into the net with both hands, which shocked everyone!
Ku Shao smiled when he found his face, which made people quickly forget the embarrassment of being knocked down in succession just now. He is still the handsome and handsome man in the minds of thousands of girls in Los Angeles.
In the last two minutes of the third quarter, both sides attacked and defended each other, with a high success rate and the score continued to rise.
George Hill missed a three-pointer, and Iliasova ambushed the basket and made the ball. When the attack was converted, Lin Feng staged the same scene, and he added Stephenson's three-pointer into the basket!
The game became more and more relaxed. Lin Feng attracted double teams at low posts and hit Kuzma who cut into the middle, and the latter divided the bottom corner into Hart in the air!
The Lakers shooter pointed Connaughton, who was flying up, and then calmed down the shell and passed Lin Feng straight to the basket, allowing him to easily get two more points in the empty basket.
So far, he has scored a full 50 points, becoming the second in the finals scoring list among active players, second only to James' 51 points set last year. He surpassed Allen Iverson and Pettit in the historical list, tied for fifth place. In addition to James, there are also Jerry West's 53 points, Rick Barry's 55 points, Jordan's 55 points and Elgin Baylor's 61 points.
If it weren't for the Lakers' sharp lead, he would have made history in the entire fourth quarter, but now the Bucks have already withdrawn in advance, perhaps only one and a half minutes left for him in the third quarter.
The teammates also intend to make a ball for him, but the Bucks players naturally do not want their home court to become someone else's wedding dress, so they are treated with double-teams starting from the first half, making him unable to catch the ball!
Connaughton and Brogdon were close to him one after another, like bodyguards accompanying him.
Just like when treating Jordan back then, anyone could score, but Lam Lam was determined not to do it!
He realized that he had to be tougher if he wanted to go further, but Lam only had the championship trophy in his eyes and would not see such a so-called record at all.
So he did not take the initiative to run to catch the ball, but took a walk on the field slowly!
Teammates got an open opportunity. In the last 90 seconds, Kuzma scored 6 points in a row, and all the team's shots were completed by him. Lin Feng didn't even touch the ball, which was very consistent with his basketball philosophy. He passed the ball to the person who was most likely to score at any time, obviously not himself.
Lin Feng's selfless spirit moved Los Angeles fans. In fact, he could rely on his personal ability to force a foul on the free throw line, but it did not happen, and the opportunity was left to teammates with better positions.
The Bucks also paid the price for this. They were continued to widen the score difference at the end of the third quarter. When the timer returned to zero, the score on the field had become 118-85, 33 points behind!
Usually, a team can score 118 points often means that the game is about to end, but now there is still a whole period of time for the game.
37-33 in the third quarter, although the Bucks played the best quarter of the game, they still lost 4 points in a single quarter.
The Milwaukee man witnessed the team's last moment in order to stop Lin Feng from scoring and even double-teaming, which made the proud Bucks fans unable to let go.
You should know that the Bucks, who won 60 wins in the regular season, even the defending champion Golden State Warriors won two games, but now they have no choice but to play the Los Angeles Lakers who have formed less than a year.
Budenholzer on the sidelines had no expression on his face, and he acquiesced to his players' behavior. At the end of the third quarter, Bushe felt relieved.
Back at the bench, his teammates congratulated Lam and James gave him a big hug.
The top two teams in the team scored in a single game in the finals are enough to prove how strong the Lakers' offensive firepower is now.
As head coach, Luke Walton has absolute power to arrange personnel on the field.
When the Bucks have given up the game, according to the unwritten unspoken rules of each team in the league, the leading side should also line up to play the game.
Walton took the initiative to ask Lin Feng for his opinion, and if he is interested in the record, he will continue to send him on the field.
I believe this situation is a great temptation for any player, such as Kyle Kuzma's expression of envy.
Lin Feng's words shocked everyone. He just shook his head gently and said calmly, "I have no interest in records. Winning the game is the most important thing."
Chapter completed!
