After winning consecutive victories over Embiid and Durant, Giannis quietly chased LeBron and Tiangou

The Nets play the Bucks at home.

When the Bucks led 18-15 in the first quarter, Giannis went off.

The Bucks blocked the ball against Durant, received the ball and clipped it, so Durant sent 4 assists in 9 minutes and 5 assists in the first quarter.

By the time Giannis returned early in the second quarter, the Bucks were seven points behind.

Giannis scored 12 points in 4 minutes.

Trailing to the end of the third quarter, Giannis scored his 33rd point and the Bucks rebounded by one point.

In the fourth quarter, the Bucks rebounded by 4 points. Giannis went off.

When he returned, the Bucks trailed by three points, and in the next leg, the Middleton foul was sent off.

Durant was possessed by death, pulling away seven points with a three-pointer and a nine-point lead with an empty pick.

Away. There are no two masters. Durant's hands were hot on the other side. The last 2 1/2 points trailed by 9 points.

Shelve who falls.

Giannis did not fall.

Holliday blocked Irving, and the Bucks swept wide to prevent Durant from holding the ball in front of the basket.

The net is still on the table: Johnson, Brown (these two are not three-point threats), Seth, Irving and Durant are present. The Bucks hit hard, Chuang Shen missed two free throws, and Brown attacked fouls.

With 18 seconds left, Giannis scored a three-pointer with a retreat, 110 draws.

Nash probably remembered: Oh no, we lack space! With a wave of his hand, Dragic and Mills went up and replaced Chuang Shen and Brown.

But Giannis didn't care: the last goal, he took two big steps from the bottom line to the free throw line, clipped Durant, interfered with his jump shot, Durant missed, overtime.

In overtime, Durant was once again possessed by death, but Giannis continued to attract assists after a pinch when he singled on his back, and he overtook.

In the final nine seconds of the game, Durant was fouled by three points and hit all three free throws.

Giannis broke through to get a free throw. If you lose one, you draw, and if you lose two, you lose.

Giannis made two free throws and won the reverse.

The Bucks, of course, paid the price: PinchIng Durant only allowed him to score 26 points — including forcing him to shoot one dead shot each in the fourth quarter and overtime — but 11 assists, and the Nets all-team three-pointers shot 18-of-37.

However, Giannis himself had 44 points, 14 rebounds and six assists — two of which were in overtime.

Giannis dragged a three-pointer into overtime, two free throws to end overtime, and carried the Bucks through.

It was Giannis' second consecutive away 40+. The day before yesterday against Philadelphia met Embiid and Harden, 40 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists.

Philadelphia didn't have the thrill of three-pointers and free throws to win today; it was just that at the end of the regular time, a key jump shot was awarded, and Embiid was given another cover.

Last season's finals game four to cover the Suns, last Christmas to win the Celtics, the day before yesterday to cover 76 people. Probably can give Giannis a separate list of kill caps...

After playing today's game, Giannis averaged 30.1 points per game, between LeBron and LeBron.

The well-known story of this season: LeBron is chasing the sky.

In fact, Giannis also chased the sky in another dimension, and also caught up:

Tiangou scored 14211 points in the Bucks in six years, and Giannis scored three-pointers today, just to tie, and then the free throw surpassed, and he has been the scoring champion in the history of the Bucks since then.

Of course, Tiangou used six years, and Giannis is the ninth season, after all, he is still a substitute, unlike Tiangou is the proud son of Tianguo, who is the peak of the industry.

But Tiangou did this at the age of 28, after all, he had been in college for four years; Giannis entered the industry early, only 27 years and four months old.

Giannis's scoring this season is basically natural: he scored 44 points from 21 today; the season's highest single-game shot, only 26 - Booker has made two 30+ shots this season, Tatum has three, Embiid once, Luca has three, and LeBron has 56 points.

Giannis didn't shoot much, but the score was not low.

Since last Christmas, Giannis has scored less than 20 percent in two games — both against the Suns — and has only shot less than 40 percent in two games.

He didn't take over the high score explosively, but steadily.

His two MVP seasons have scored 28 points per 32 minutes. This season is 33 minutes and 30 minutes per game. Emotionless scoring machine.

But that's not the most maddening thing.

It is known that Giannis can break through the attacking dunk, but he only has 40% of the shots per game this season, which is the lowest in his career.

Meanwhile, he scored 3.4 points per back-to-back 53 percent shooting, the third-most in the league — fronted by Embiid and Jokic.

The league's third back fight monster.

He scored 8 points per game with 60 percent shooting, breaking through with the ball, an unparalleled threat, bursting in and killing.

Meanwhile, he got off the ball every game and scored 5.6 points, shooting 43 percent from the field.

What do you mean?

The quality and quantity of Giannis's mid-range shots this season are at the level of Dillon Brooks, Edwards, Reggie Jackson, and Jaylen Brown.

Let's take it a little more.

He shot 41 percent from short-mid-range shooting this season (LeBron 39 percent, Jokic 61 percent, Morant 41 percent).

Long shot 44% (LeBron 40%, Jokic 48%, Morant 34%).

That is, Giannis's three-pointer this season is ok, but in the middle distance, Giannis has passed LeBron, Davis, Morant and Jimmy.

This is a bit counterintuitive, so let's take another example.

He averaged 10 feet per game this season, shooting from 3 to 10 feet, 10 to 16 feet, and 16 to 23 feet from the basket:

81%、42%、42%、44%。

LeBron averaged 10 feet of shooting distance per game in the 2015-16 season, and the distribution was:

72%、36%、35%、40%。

The most obvious point: in the previous few years, Giannis would discount every fourth quarter.

Giannis averaged 8.2 points per game in the fourth quarter of this season, second in the league, behind deRozan.

Interestingly, only four of the top 25 scorers in the fourth quarter of the season shot more than 50 percent: DeRozan 55 percent, Giannis 56 percent, Paul 52 percent, and Jokic 51 percent.

Now the situation is:

He took a quick shot at the basket and the opposite side was gone — today he had two defensive turns against Durant, both of which were successful.

Let him hold the ball, and the opposite side is gone - he broke through set ahead of him at the beginning of the day and directly buckled.

If you're counting on your teammates to pinch the patch, it's too late.

He scored third in the league with his back. You don't pinch him to really vote for you. You pinched, and in overtime today he had two assists to give the Bucks a lead.

You go around the front and he rushes to the front court for rebounds. You don't go around the front, he hits on the back. He can also block the internal cut, and the empty step is empty.

As for his jump shot, who will say: Throw the undead, let him vote a few...

But on the one hand, as mentioned above, his mid-range shot this season is also at Their level.

This thing may not be able to cast a dead person, but it can allow him to distribute his physical strength, usually throw and play, and then kill the inside line at the time of life and death.

And by the last minute, he's not only likely to slash you on the offensive end, but he may also send a dead cover on the defensive end — after all, in the past year, he's had three at the last minute.

A terrifying fact is that although the Bucks have suffered a lot of injuries this season, they are still firmly in the top two in the East, possibly first in the East; the team only has three people playing 28 minutes per game; Giannis has never shown "Lao Tzu is full today!" ”

Giannis, who averaged 35 points per game in the Finals last season and 50 points in the finals, was scary, but this season's he, to be honest, is stronger than last year.

After winning consecutive victories over Embiid and Durant, Giannis quietly chased LeBron and Tiangou

That's why the depth of the playoffs this season is terrible. The Suns have been in the center position this season, hoarding McGee and hoarding Bismarck for what is well known: the pain of being rushed by Giannis, they feel it most personally. It's a bit like the early 2000s, when the league hoarded centers — spurs hoarded us Battle — to deal with sharks.

Of course, Giannis may not rush to the top of the score, but just one more sentence:

If he gets the scoring champion, plus two years ago he's already took the defensive player of the year...

Previously, the offensive and defensive monsters who had sat on the defensive + scoring king of the year were jordan and the general.

If you narrow the range to the scoring king + defender of the year + regular season MVP + Finals MVP, then there was only Jordan before that.
