Chapter 130 A Gift (2/3)(1/2)
The Wizards have already made plans to win against the Bucks today!
This can be seen from their game state. The Bucks' lineup was training, and the Wizards immediately scored like crazy.
The Bucks put their main lineup on the field, and the Wizards fought with them! Although the defense became more difficult, they still maintained the game point difference.
61:46! The first half ended like this. 90:70! At the end of the third quarter, the whole team felt powerless.
Bill and Wall worked really hard today! They barely had much rest! They were leading the team on the field all the time!
When other teammates on the team play well, they provide assists. When their teammates' accuracy drops and mistakes increase, they provide assists themselves.
Gradually in the regular season, the Bucks also learned from various teams. This season, the teams are mainly divided into three types.
The team itself is in chaos. There are superstars, good substitutes and a good coach, but the team just can't produce results.
Typical teams for this kind of team are the Timberwolves and the Lakers. The Lakers have many good players, but they just can't win the game.
The other type of team belongs to most teams. Some of them are very strong in terms of their own strength and the quality of their players, such as today's Wizards.
Some teams have become stronger after reorganization, or some teams did not perform well last season but have become better this season.
The Bucks are the typical representative in the former, and the Thunder are the representative team in the latter.
The Thunder have said more than once this season that their goal this season is to win the championship, which is what they have longed for for many years.
There was a big conflict in the last quarter of the game. Antetokounmpo and Pierce got into a fight on the court!
Subsequently, the conflict between the two escalated, and the referee was not polite and directly kicked them out of the game!
Alphabet was so angry that he pushed away several staff members and was about to block Pierce in the corridor!
Kidd quickly threw the tactical board at the coaching staff and chased him out...
Kidd: "Antetokounmpo!! Antetokounmpo!!! Stop! You dare to take another step in Pierce's direction!"
I promise to destroy you, this guy!!! I promise to destroy you, damn you!!!"
Antetokounmpo: "You saw it just now! He is just relying on his old skills! Are the referees blind about the opponent's actions on the field?!"
Kidd: "This is the game. After playing in the NBA for several years, why are you still so impulsive? Huh?"
Since becoming the team's head coach, Kidd has definitely not exercised as much as other athletes. At this time, he is adjusting his condition.
The angry mood just now also eased a little, and his tone became gentle.
Antetokounmpo: “I want to win the number of games in advance! I want to get tickets to the playoffs with the team in advance!!
So I have to win this. I have to I..."
A muscular man measuring two meters tall and weighing 210 pounds just started crying in front of Kidd.
He was so emotional that he had nowhere to vent and could only cry and talk to the head coach.
Kidd: "I'm going to tell you a cruel reality kid. We will never win this game.
You are too optimistic about this season, so when you encounter reality, you are too emotional and don't want to believe that this is true.
The Wizards are not joking with us. They have been fighting with us from the beginning, and you know, if I compete with them from the beginning, it will be unfair to our team's long-term considerations."
Kidd has been through this before, and he can deeply understand the anxiety in the heart of the 20-year-old young man in front of him now.
But sometimes NBA games are not a matter of urgency. Some teams even need to spend several years in order to transform their lineup to the point where they can win the championship.
As a result, two years later, the players who had been carefully cultivated ran away... He had seen this kind of situation too many times.
The whole team is working hard, but the result is this. Today, the Wizards are determined to defeat this team that has been enjoying great success recently!
The rest of the Bucks players already know today's result. But Antetokounmpo just doesn't agree that they will lose to the Wizards in the end.
The more anxious you are, the more out of shape your movements will be. Pierce is not a softie! He will not tolerate a young player acting wild around him!
Kidd's mood gradually stabilized as he read the letters. He took out his mobile phone and called the assistant coach on the scene. The data coach motioned him to find the staff and asked the assistant coach who was acting as the interim head coach not to be distracted.
After a while, several staff members in suits came to the locker room.
Kidd: "Haha! I'm so happy that the team has such players who are actively trying to win the game!
There's nothing wrong with your mood, Xin. It's just that your actions were a bit reckless~ We also need to obey the referee, right?
You stay here for a while. I'll go over and take a look. The game is almost over. Do you think that's okay?"
Antetokounmpo: "I have no objection..."
The big man was holding a towel and said angrily to Kidd.
Kidd: "Then you two have worked hard."
After the head coach finished speaking, he patted the letter's back, straightened his suit and returned to the field.
His heart was finally put back. At the press conference, reporters had to mention it again.
If Antetokounmpo had just blocked Pierce, I don't know what would have happened.
Both of them had bad tempers today. Pierce has always been very tough. If Antetokounmpo is detained by the police for a few days, it will definitely affect the next game.
It's understandable, but it's not necessary.
Referee: "Coach Kidd? I just gave you a technical foul. If there is a similar situation again, I will ask you to go to the auditorium to watch the game."
Kidd: "I know"
After checking the time, there were less than 5 minutes left in the game. Kidd sighed and quietly chatted with the assistant coach who had just temporarily replaced him on the sidelines until the end of the game.
At this time, the Bucks' players were all substitutes. But the Wizards still did not relax at all.
There is a strong smell of gunpowder between the two sides. O'Bryant III has already committed 4 fouls. There are two players with 5 fouls on the field.
117:94! The final game ended with a 23-point difference. The Wizards, like the Rockets, easily defeated the Bucks.
Kidd: "I'll have a day off tomorrow. Everyone's nerves have been too tense recently. Relax. We'll see how to deal with the Hawks when we get back~"
The returning players were naturally in a much better mood when the head coach said they had a holiday.
When I returned to the locker room, I saw Antetokounmpo sitting quietly there. The two young staff members around him nodded to Kidd and left.
Li Feng: "Alphabet, it's just a game. Let's see where we go to relax at night~"
He wanted to grab Antetokounmpo, but was slapped away by Alphabet.
Parker: "What do you mean? The game is over and you haven't come back emotionally yet? I..."
Li Feng immediately stopped Parker from continuing.
Antetokounmpo stayed with his head lowered for a while, then got up and ran outside. He pushed his teammates along the way. Li Feng almost fell, but he immediately stopped his teammates.
Kidd: "Well, Antetokounmpo needs to rest alone today. I haven't been a player enough yet~
Who will arrange tonight?! Then let me~ Let’s go! Let’s go! Just like the letters need to be adjusted, we also need to adjust. We are all one body~”
The atmosphere that was a bit depressing just now was suddenly stirred up by Coach Kidd~
It is hard for reporters to imagine that after the series of events that occurred in today's game and the team's huge loss, the players at the press conference left with a smile...
Kidd did a good job of distracting his players' attention. Not only that, he also emphasized the concept of the team as a whole.
That is, "everyone needs to relax" to ease the players' emotions.
Gortat had 9 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists! Pierce had 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists! Seraphim had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Beal had 37 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and Wall had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists!
The two brothers scored 61 points together today! Wall mainly organizes the team, and his own offensive power is also very strong.
For the Bucks, O'Bryant III had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks! Hansen had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Antetokounmpo had 7 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steals! Li Feng had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Mayo had 19 points.
1 rebound and 4 assists!
No one on the team scored more than 20 points. The game was very difficult. The Wizards' defensive ability is indeed very strong.
In this game, Antetokounmpo did a very good job defensively.
After Li Feng went back, he sat in the shallow water area of the swimming pool for a while. Although the water in the swimming pool was relatively cold, his body was very hot.
After cooling down in the swimming pool, we watched TV for a while.
I was in a good or bad mood this day. I should not be happy if I lost a game, but I also had a lot of fun playing with Coach Kidd and his teammates...
Li Chaoyue: "Who is it? Not here~"
Li Feng: "I'm going in~"
Li Chaoyue: "If you have anything to do, please don't disturb me. I won't see you~"
Li Feng: "Huh? This door seems to be broken? I'm going in~~"
Li Feng suddenly barged in and saw Chaoyue chasing a TV show with a mouthful of snacks. The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
Li Chaoyue: "Ah, get out! I was about to burst into tears while watching the part where Oppa got an incurable disease! You ruined the atmosphere when you walked in!"
Li Feng: "Let me ask you a question"
Li Chaoyue: "My brain is on standby, let's wait for another day"
Li Feng: "My brain is on standby? It's time to go to bed. I confiscated the laptop~"
Li Chaoyue: "Ask me if you have any questions!"
