Chapter 1001 The Gap Between the Top 2 MVPs
Chapter 1001 The gap between the top two MVPs
The Thunder turned over in an instant, while the Bucks seemed a little confused.The Bucks' defensive strategy has always been limited protection of the basket and two corner 3-pointers, but for the top of the arc and two 45-degrees, it is a bit loose.They will give you 3 points with the ball after a single block, but if you want to be completely open for 3 points, it is also difficult, because Antetokounmpo's sweeping speed is very fast and his arms are too long.
But Xie Kai can shoot 3-pointers with a straight line, or he can shoot 3-pointers quickly after a single block.That ability makes the Bucks tricky.This is why Antetokounmpo would rather let go of Patterson to fill him up.
But Xie Kai doesn't even give Brother Antetokounmpo the chance to fill in the seat. If you vote directly, you won't have time at all.
This is not the first time Xie Kai has shot such a long-range 3-pointer this season. It is no exaggeration to say that the super-long 3-pointer has even become a stable means in his offensive arsenal.In previous games, we can see him displaying this weapon many times in the game.I heard that he practiced hard for ultra-long 3-pointers during the offseason. I didn't expect it to be true, and the effect was so good that people can only describe it as admiration.
Generally speaking, superstars at this age and at this level still have such strict demands on themselves and are still seeking to improve, which is indeed too rare.Xie Kai is such a person. He has been enriching his offensive arsenal, improving his efficiency, and preparing for the transformation in advance.
Xie Kai's crazy personal offense instantly tipped the balance of the game towards the Thunder. Judging from the body language and morale of the players on the field, the Bucks are the weak side.
整个第3节,谢开3分球7投6中,单节砍下20分。三节战罢他的数据来到了30分10个篮板9次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽,非常强势给力。他本场比赛拿下三双,简直就跟喝水那么简单。
Antetokounmpo's data is also good, 19 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, a very good small ball inside.But if you take the MVP competition as an example, when the two sides were biting points in the third quarter, he was unable to respond to Xie Kai's strong offense, which made people feel his lack of offensive means.
After three quarters, the Thunder led by 80 points at 75:5.
In the final quarter of the game, the Thunder firmly controlled the rhythm of the game and did not give the Bucks a chance to start. In the end, they defeated their opponents at home 109:100 and won this crucial game.
After winning this game, the Thunder's record came to 45 wins and 4 losses, ushered in 8 consecutive victories, and continued to lead the league.
谢开本场比赛命中9记3分球,全场砍下40分14个篮板11次助攻4个抢断2个盖帽,是本场比赛的最大功臣。
谢开本场比赛刷新了3个常规赛个人记录,他的单场9记3分,刷新了个人单场3分记录(之前记录是8个),他的40分是他常规赛第44个40+,这是他第31个三双。
Antetokounmpo scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. Looking at the data, it is still very impressive. It feels like a peak KG. But when compared with Xie Kai, whether it is the data or the performance on the field The performance is not even a star.
After the game, Antetokounmpo said in an interview: "OKC played better in this game, and we will win it back next time. I hope we can meet them in the finals, and we must be the ones who win!"
Xie Kai said in an interview: "I really scored 9 3-pointers today? My God, this is great, I like it, haha. I hope when I hit more than 10 3-pointers in a game, so I can compete with Stephen and the others for 3-pointers!"
When the reporter asked him if he had thought about who to choose for the All-Stars, Xie laughed and said: "I really haven't thought about it. Really, I don't think Giannis should have thought about it. I need to go back and think about it, and then First he grabs the person he likes."
On January 1, the Thunder defeated the Magic in an away game and ushered in a 29-game winning streak.
On February 2, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West last month. Antetokounmpo from the East and Xie Kai from the West won this honor respectively.
This is already the third time Xie Kai has won the best of the month this season, and it is also the 3th time in his career.In this way, in the entire NBA history, he and James are the only players who have won more than 20 monthly best players.
Later in the day, the NBA officially announced the 2019 Charlotte All-Star Game bench lineup.
East: Bill, Duanfen, Xiaogangpao, Midou, Audi, Xidi, Wuqie;
West: Adelaide, Nongmei, Teacher Yue, Lillard, Buddha, Downs, Westbrook.
Because of the Indiana Pacers' Audie's knee injury, the All-Star Game will be replaced by the Brooklyn Nets' Russell, who was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time.
In this way, the Big Three of the Thunder were all selected for this All-Star Game.
That night, the Thunder beat the Heat away and ushered in a 10-game winning streak.
The Heat have never been a favorite team for the championship since James left and Bosh was subsequently found to have a thrombus.The culture of this team is well established. Like the Spurs, they didn't choose to play badly, so they didn't get any high-ranking rookies.
With their current team lineup, they need to get a superstar in the free market before they can take off.Whether it's Adebayor, Josh Richardson, or Olynyk, they are all very good puzzle pieces, but they are not the cornerstone players of the team.
It's just that although the Heat have a team culture, Riley is similar to Angie and belongs to the cold-blooded family. Many superstars are reluctant to go there. Even though Miami and Boston are big cities, they have won championships.
Wade will definitely retire in the Heat, but now he is still expected to lead this team to the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals.
On February 2, NBA President Xiao Hua announced that Wade of the Miami Heat and Nowien Wang of the Dallas Mavericks will receive additional places to participate in the 2 NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte.
This is likely to be the last time these two NBA players have participated in the All-Star Game. It is a very heartwarming move for the NBA to bid farewell to the veteran in this form.
Wade and Novak are likely to choose to retire after the end of this season, but even if they play a few more seasons, judging from their age and current state, if they want to enter the All-Stars, they can only rely on voting to be the starter. It is possible, otherwise it would be unfair to other players, because it is already difficult for them to play the data of All-Star players.
On February 2, the Thunder played away against the Boston Celtics.
The two teams played against each other at the beginning of the season. In that game, the Thunder team was defeated by the opponent at home. It was the first time this season that they lost a home game.
