Chapter 1684: Bloody Stag, Pointing to the Christmas War
Staples, the last battle before Christmas, is also a key battle for whether the Lakers can continue to maintain a complete victory before the Christmas war.
At this time, the 12 minutes of the first quarter were over, and the on-site cameraman playfully panned the camera over the Bucks' bench.
Jennings is biting his nails, Luke Mbaha-a-Motte's dark face is full of question marks and confusion, and Andrew Bogut, who was flirtatious before the game, is not on the bench at the moment, and there are leftovers on the seat. The jerseys and wristbands that came off proved that there was once such a person here. Even the towel of the water fountain keeper Kenyon Dooling can no longer wave...
The face of the Bucks head coach was full of depression and irritability, and he kept saying these things with the tactical board in his hand. However, if you look at the state of the players on the bench, you will understand that no one is listening at all...
The reason for all this can be answered from the score in the first quarter.
The Lakers scored 37 points in the first quarter, which is a very good statistic, especially against the backdrop of their opponents next door.
37-7!
That's right, the Bucks only scored 7 points in the first quarter!
What this score means, in simple terms, is that this is the lowest score in the first quarter among all 30 teams since the beginning of this season. It is also the first time this season that a team has not scored in double figures in a single quarter.
The popular explanation is more clear, just like what Hot Bar who is watching the game complained: "Although I came to watch the Lakers game, I can remember every score of the Bucks."
It was so exciting. Jennings, Bogut, and Amot scored all the points in the first quarter for the Bucks. Compared with the Lakers who scored all 7 players on the court, and both of them scored in double figures, the Bucks were so unpretentious!
"Everyone underestimated the Lakers' determination to win. When they were firing on all cylinders and no one in the league could stop them, the Bucks made an empirical mistake." Barkley shook his head in the live broadcast room.
The first quarter can be called the Lakers' masterpiece this season. From the moment Bynum defeated Bogut to get the ball, the Lakers never gave the Bucks a chance for even a second!
In the first season, Ji Feng fulfilled his promise of trash talk before the game. He asked Bynum to pick and roll, and then switched defenses. He showed no mercy to Bogut. He broke through with a crossover, then dribbled behind his back to pull back, and then made a strong breakthrough to the left. Pull back once!
Bogut was passed by Ji Feng twice in a row, and he finally couldn't help but foul. This was the beginning of Ji Feng's 4 consecutive rounds of toying with Bogut!
After serving the sideline ball, Ji Feng followed the same routine and finally hit a three-pointer in front of Bogut.
Then on the defensive end, as soon as Bogut, who wanted to return a favor, received the ball, Ji Feng, who felt it from the wing, poked the ball away with one finger. Bynum quickly got the ball with quick eyes and hands, and passed it to Ji Feng, and the fans in the audience greeted him. A wonderful windmill dunk!
After punishing Bogut with one attack and one defense, Ji Feng still did not let him go. In the next 3 rounds, Ji Feng chose to pick and roll and switch to defense to beat Bogut. Finally, in the last round, Ji Feng took advantage of the gap between consecutive picks and held the ball. He rushed inside and dunked on Bogut!
Another buckle!
Bogut became Ji Feng's center who completed dunks for three consecutive seasons!
Bogut, who was carried away by anger, behaved irrationally after Ji Feng landed. First, he pushed Ji Feng angrily, causing a conflict between the two sides. During the conflict, Bynum directly yelled at him, and the two were called for a technical foul by the referee. After that, Bogut attacked the referee again and was whistled for a technical foul again!
The unlucky Bogut graduated directly in the first four minutes, ending the opening of the cup, leaving 2 points before returning to the locker room.
Fans at that time mocked Bogut crazily, calling him the most awesome talker in history. He boasted about his awesomeness for a long time before the game, but ended up hanging on for four minutes before going out. He was like a real man in three seconds.
Even Australian netizens affectionately called him: "The shame of Australia"!
However, what happened next made many people think that Bogut's exit might be a good thing, because at least he did not need to stay on the court to experience the ultimate 'enjoyment' brought by the Lakers!
Ji Feng did not hold back after taking out Bogut in 4 minutes. At that time, the score was 8-2, and the Lakers had a small advantage. However, in the next few minutes, the Lakers' crazy scoring rhythm made the Bucks, who had lost their core inside, unable to parry. In 9 minutes, the Bucks scored 5 points, while the Lakers already scored 30 points with Ji Feng's crazy performance of 13 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals!
With a gap of less than 25 points in one quarter, any fool knows that the suspense is over!
"Let us congratulate the Lakers in advance on their 29th consecutive victory. I am not afraid of poisonous milk at all. If the Bucks fail in this game, I will marry that donkey home!" Barkley said directly.
Fans chanted, ‘Barkley, please let that donkey go’, ‘Obviously, Barkley and the donkey are true love, basketball is just an accident’.
However, fans also agree that no matter how vicious Barkley's mouth is, it is impossible to poison this game.
"After all, there are really not many teams that are as good as the Bucks and like to commit suicide." said the fan.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bucks adjusted their tactics. The Bucks coach obviously didn't want to surrender just like that, because he knew that this game was very hot before the game, and their team made a lot of rhetoric. If this was the case, If they lose, the Bucks will become the biggest laughing stock of the season, so he has to work hard no matter what, at least to prevent the team from losing so miserably.
Everyone knows the importance of this game. Hundreds of millions of fans around the world are eagerly looking forward to the Lakers versus the Heat. At this moment when the Lakers have won 33 consecutive games, if they can defeat the Lakers in this game, the effect will be truly amazing. , it is not an exaggeration to say that he became famous in one battle. From then on, the Bucks will become more famous, and they will also have the title of Giant Killer after they retire.
Unfortunately, the Bucks coach failed to do so.
In the second quarter of the game, Ji Feng didn't even need to take action. Kobe and Artest, with a few substitutes, completely extinguished the Bucks' hopes. They scored 4 three-pointers in the beginning and asked who else was there.
When the Bucks trailed by 45 points at halftime, they surrendered.
The final score was fixed at 142-90. The Lakers swept the Bucks with 52 points at home, ushering in their 29th consecutive victory and creating the highest score and largest winning margin in a single game this season!
Ji Feng scored 35 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, Kobe Bryant had 29 points, Gasol had 22 points, Artest had 19 points, Bynum had 15 points and 8 rebounds, Blake had 11 points, and Farmar had 10 points.
Only Jennings scored 20 points for the Bucks, but it took 20 shots.
After winning this game, the Lakers will have a Christmas game in front of them!
"Of course it's up to us in the Christmas game. You know, we won't miss this historic moment of 30 consecutive wins!" - Kobe Bryant.
"I can't wait." - Ji Feng.
