This Forward is Not Serious

The series between the Nets and Menglong came to match point, and on the other hand, the league penalty that fans were concerned about also came to a result at this time.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was suspended for three games and fined $35,000.

This is the biggest penalty the league can make against Antetokounmpo under the existing rules.

Moreover, in the announcement of the penalty, the league also stated that the NBA will introduce the most stringent non-essential physical contact ban in history next season, with the purpose of limiting injuries caused by unnecessary contact between players.

Although the ban has not yet come out, according to the rumors released, it generally means that when an action that may cause a player to be injured occurs, there will be no buffer, and the player will be directly ejected or suspended.

Tatum's response can be said to be very good, not breaking the existing rules, but also serving as a warning.

And this 3-game ban is also subtle.

Now the big score between the Hornets and the Bucks is 2 to 1. The Hornets have no Durant, and the Bucks Antetokounmpo will not be able to play. As long as it goes well, the Hornets will win two consecutive cities and win the Bucks 4-1 to advance to the East. It will not be a problem. .

If they lose a game unexpectedly, the Hornets still have a 4-2 chance of eliminating the Bucks.

Then for the Bucks, the only way they want to advance is to win the Hornets three games in a row, which is obviously very difficult to do in the absence of Antetokounmpo.

After all, the Bucks' style of play is one-star, and if this one-star is gone, the loss in strength is greater than that of the Hornets.

You know, there's another Jimmy Butler over there with the Hornets.

But theory is theory, reality is reality, just one day later in G4, the Bucks played the three armies at home, and Middleton was a rare outbreak. The Bucks miraculously defeated the Hornets and closed the series. The big score was rewritten as 2 to 2!

In this battle, the Bucks gained a lot of fans for themselves.

And no fans complained about why Antetokounmpo was suspended for 3 games instead of 4 games, because if the Bucks still advance without Antetokounmpo, then this team is worthy of respect.

Things started to get weird.

While fans were still talking about the Hornets-Bucks game, the Nets and Menglong's G5 continued to play the next day.

There is no big difference between the formations of the two sides and the previous games, but there is a big difference in the performance of the players.

On the Nets side, Lin Ying had a physical problem, and his state and feel declined.

This is also expected, it is impossible for anyone to continue to output after 3 consecutive games of 50+, that is, the real **** is not human.

And Crabbe is back to normal after a brave game.

Lue's joke turned out to be realistic, and without the birthday bonus, Crabbe went back to the player on the premium contract.

In contrast, Leonard on the Menglong team was obviously in better condition than Lin Ying, although his physical energy consumption was not small.

After the final four quarters of fierce battle, Menglong defeated the Nets to regain a victory and rewritten the big score to 2-3.

Then the next day, the Hornets main city successfully won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and also rewritten the big score to 3 to 2.

The two semifinals of the Eastern Conference this year are all suspenseful. In contrast, the Western side is more... unexpected.

Both the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers performed amazingly in the first round, with Jaylen Brown of the Pelicans and Lillard of the Trail Blazers both playing flashy performances.

However, what is unexpected is that the two teams basically have no resistance in the semi-finals.

The Trail Blazers only relied on Lillard's explosion to win a game in g3, and there was no effective resistance in the remaining games, and they were eliminated 1-4 in the end.

Lillard and his Trail Blazers can't escape the role of running every year, but they are actually pretty good by comparison.

Because after the Pelicans next door played against the Lakers, they were swept directly by the Lakers without a win!

They didn't play too badly, but they couldn't stand the opposing Lakers too strong.

In a sense, this year's Lakers are very similar to last year's Nets, with a lineup that is luxurious enough to allow players to play.

So whether it's Davis or Cousins, the attendance has been very good.

And although James' regular season data is average this year, he is in a hot state after entering the playoffs.

This kind of change also vaguely resembled Lin Ying's shadow last year.

Coupled with a strong desire to win, so far, the Lakers feel very similar to last year's Nets.

Therefore, whether it is the upcoming Western Conference finals or the finals that follow, it will be extremely difficult to face their teams.

The Western Conference semifinals are over, and the Eastern Conference continues.

The Nets and Menglong's g6 have attracted much attention.

This game is at the home court of the Menglong team, and it is also the last battle of the Menglong team.

Under the camera before the game, the players of the Menglong team were all in high spirits.

Although they are still behind by a big score, they have already felt the Nets' fatigue in the last game.

In one go, they had every opportunity to overturn the Nets.

At the beginning of the game, as they expected, Lin Ying's state recovered, but that was not enough, the rest of the Nets team had been locked up.

By the end of the first quarter, the two teams were evenly matched.

It was at this time that the genius Lu came back online.

He sent Jokic at the start of the second quarter!

Jokic played very well in the regular season this season, but in the playoffs, especially this semifinal, his performance was mediocre.

Although it is excusable for a combination like Pau Gasol and Yinbaka to not play well, this is not the reason!

Lu didn't want to wait until the tiebreaker, and directly killed the little fat man tonight.

This adjustment of his also worked instantly. Jokic was unable to show his strength in the face of the opposing twin towers, but he had the upper hand in a one-on-one fight!

Unless Nas is as ruthless as Lu, he directly replaces Yin Baka and Jr. Gasol.

But obviously, Nas doesn't have the courage like Lu.

So the final result is that Lu's tactics worked again, and Jokic buried his head and led his team to pull the score away in this substitute transition!

The Nets also maintained that point difference until halftime, where they led the Menglongs by a double-digit point difference.

Although this is not enough to guarantee the team won the game, but the advantage has been played.

And unless the Menglong team hit a big counterattack in the third quarter to overtake the point difference, they will encounter the same problems as the first half in the third and fourth quarters.

The Menglong team obviously knew this, and after returning from the half-time break, they increased their defensive intensity at the beginning of the game.

This move is very effective. The Menglong team's front lines are of sufficient size, and after they have increased their strength, they are comparable to the "Brooklyn Time" of the year.

Their strategy started to work, and the margins narrowed a little bit.

But what was unexpected and reasonable was that Lin Ying began to stand up and take over the game!

According to what Barkley said when he shouted in the commentary box, after a game and a half rest, it's time for G6 Lin to stand up!

Siakam's single defense, Leonard's single defense, and Siakam and Leonard's flanking attack, all could not stop Lin Ying from scoring!

Lin Ying entered the white-hot space and switched directly to the killing **** mode!

Relying on his brave performance, the Nets finally did not let the Menglong team overtake the score.

Of course, the price was that when Lin Ying finished the third quarter, he was gasping for breath in his seat.

The Menglong team's defensive intensity in this series is phenomenal, and Lin Ying's physical consumption is far beyond expectations.

But the outburst was worth it, as it was strategic to hold on to the lead this quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Lu still arranged for Jokic to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Jokic didn't live up to expectations. Although Nas has already contracted the basket in a targeted manner, Jokic's condition has risen, and his hooks from the free throw line can hit consecutively.

After Jokic scored 2+1 with a smart but irritated turn around and hit the board, Nas looked up at the score that was redrawn again, and his expression was only shaking his head helplessly.

Victory or defeat, at this time, has basically come to a conclusion.

In the last quarter, the Menglong team launched the final charge, but Lin Ying and the Nets showed strong tenacity and abruptly held the score.

The Menglong team's performance in this round of the series is amazing, but it also reflects the strength of this Nets team.

Although the strength is no longer comparable to last season, it is by no means easy to beat the Nets.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Menglong team 106-98 on the road, knocking out their opponents 4-2 and reaching the Eastern Conference Finals!

After the game, Lin Ying slumped on the seat and gasped heavily, looking at the teammates who were celebrating frantically in front of him, a happy smile appeared on his face.

This series was a meaningful one for the Nets.

From the very beginning, relying on him to continuously score and win, to Crabbe and Jokic standing up one after another, and having experienced the baptism of this Menglong team, the Nets have reached an optimal state.

The Nets played hard, but took the lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

Then the next day, things went wrong on the Hornets side.

After returning home, the Bucks played a suffocating defense.

The Hornets also exposed the biggest problem of Durant's absence. Their offense is not much better than the Bucks now!

The two sides staged a retro-style defensive battle.

At the last moment, the Hornets trailed by 2 points. After a successful defense, Butler quickly advanced the ball to the frontcourt and made a three-pointer.

"when!"

Missing the basket.

Hornets, lost 87 to 89!

Both sides, the battle became a 3-3 draw!

The moment the ball hit the frame, Antetokounmpo stood up from the bench excitedly and yelled at his teammates.

The next game, he came back from the suspension!

The hearts of Hornets fans were broken.

The league has given the Hornets their best chance, but they didn't take it!

It was at this time that many talents realized that this season was not so much the Hornets' strength as Durant's strength.

On social media after the game, fans were all pity for the Hornets. Butler’s final choice was no problem, because he just hit a three-pointer before that, and both sides were physically exhausted. Playing overtime for the Hornets The team has no advantage.

At this time, some people began to complain about the previous punishment of the league, why the suspension of Antetokounmpo was 3 games instead of 4 games.

But obviously, it's very powerless to talk about this at this time.

Of course, there are also people discussing the situation of the next tiebreaker between the two sides.

Almost everyone is one-sided that the Bucks must win.

One is that after the sixth game, the momentum of the two sides is completely different. The other is that Antetokounmpo’s comeback and Durant still can’t play. The Hornets are far behind in terms of strength.

Although some people think that the Hornets will not necessarily lose, just like the Bucks can still win two games without Antetokounmpo.

But that's a minority after all. After all, in the series, the two sides already know the bottom line, and the room for adjustment is very limited.

Just when Hornets fans, or all tennis fans, were immersed in a sad atmosphere, a status from Durant's personal Twitter made social media fry at once.

The content of this tweet is not much, only a few simple words, but it is full of weight.

"I'll be back at g7."

Durant, coming back in the tiebreaker!

This time there is obviously no medical miracle, but he is going to fight with an injury!

Lin Ying didn't know the news until Su Feng called him.

This further confirms this. After all, if the injury is better than expected, Durant's character will definitely tell Lin Ying.

Lin Ying called and Durant said he had fully recovered at first, saying that he had fully recovered~www.wuxiahere.com~ Until Lin Ying said he wanted to make a video call to him, he said that he was only 70% to 80% better.

Obviously, 70% to 80% of them also contain moisture.

"Kevin, don't risk your career."

As a transmigrator, Lin Ying couldn't help reminding Durant in this situation.

You must know that in the Warriors, Durant played with an injury, and then ruptured the Achilles tendon, never returning to his peak dominance.

And the current situation is also different from before. There is no media and no management to force him to play. He really doesn't have to fight.

Lin Ying said a lot, and Durant listened carefully.

But in the end, what Durant said silenced Lin Ying.

"You told me basketball isn't everything in life isn't it? I just don't want to have any regrets."

Lin Ying can understand Durant's emotion, because he still remembers what Durant said to him when he was in the hotel "the most glorious moment".

This season has been so different for Durant.

He is eager to prove himself, and that desire is no less than Leonard's.

"Is it really worth it?"

Lin Ying said after being silent for a long time.

If he knew there would be such a thing, he would have strongly discouraged Durant from staying.

"Ying, you're talking like Rick now."

Durant's answer with a smile made Lin Ying stunned.

In the original ncaa finals, Durant was also stepped on by Noah.

At that time, Rick Barnes was also trying to dissuade Durant from playing, and he also asked Durant like Lin Ying.

Durant's response at the time was:

"worth."

This is what Durant said next.

Time has changed a lot of things, but what can't be changed is a person's character.
