The NBA regular season continued, and the Bucks' game against the Raptors officially began. Before the game, almost all fans will predict that the Bucks will win this game. After all, the Bucks' overall strength is far stronger than the Raptors. However, what fans did not expect was that the Raptors played very resiliently from the opening stages, and both offensive and defensive ends could keep up with the rhythm of the Bucks. Especially in the second half, the Raptors played very smoothly on the offensive end, and the Bucks were slow to find rhythm on the offensive end. In the end, after four quarters of the game, the Raptors defeated the Bucks 103-96.
Objectively speaking, the Bucks' loss in this game is really a bit of suspense. The reason is that the Bucks' stats are on the back foot throughout the game. Let's take a look at a few sets of data. Rebounding: The Raptors grabbed 51 rebounds and the Bucks grabbed 41 rebounds. In terms of assists: The Raptors gave 25 assists in the whole game, and the Bucks gave 19 assists in the whole game. Shooting percentage: The Raptors shot 43 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range. The Bucks shot 33 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range. Obviously, in front of these data, it can only be said that the Bucks have not lost.
Well, after talking about the losing Bucks, let's talk about the Raptors who won. To be honest, the player who can win this game for the Raptors is nothing more than Siakam. Siakam played 40 minutes and shot 11-of-20, including 3-of-3 from three-point range and 5-of-9 from the free throw line, and had a triple-double stat of 30 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals. Yes, you didn't misread Siakam's stats for such a glittering thing, with a triple-double while shooting above 50 percent. For the performance of Siakam in this game, we can fully describe it as "hard letter brother, a battle to dispel doubts".
Fans who have watched the game will know how smart Siakam played in this game. On the offensive end, Siakam played very reasonably, and if it were not for the alphabet brother's defense, Siakam would use his physical advantage to eat the defenders. Either dry up mid-range or crush directly with the body. Conversely, if he encounters a defensive attack, Siakam will use his flexibility to attack. Alphabet brother does not defend closely, Siakam can shoot three points, and Alphabet brother can defend Siakam closely. Of course, in the game we can often see the scene of Siakam's hard letter brother. What is more worth mentioning is that Siakam's offensive efficiency is not only high but also very smart, but whenever he encounters a bag, Siakam can pass the ball out at the first time, but when his teammates appear in siakam, they can also find empty players at the first time. All in all, this game siakam allowed us to see his all-around, to see his value, and to see that his strength was worthy of the top salary contract.
Since it comes to the maximum salary, I will give you two more words, before this everyone has been questioning Siakam's contract, and has been questioning Siakam's personal strength. However, in this game, Siakam proved his worth with practical actions and punched the doubters in the face with practical actions. Again, in terms of personal strength and stats, Siakam is definitely worthy of his top salary contract.
