After a big home win over the Warriors, the reigning champion Bucks, whose confidence grew, took a break and ushered in the Challenge of the Raptors during their two-game losing streak.
In terms of the Bucks, Holliday continues to be absent, and whether the Bucks can take advantage of the chase to win 2 consecutive wins, Alphabet Brother + Middleton obviously need to step forward.
On the other hand, on the Raptors side, head coach Nas made adjustments, Achuva + Yuta Watanabe entered the starting line, and the Raptors tried to win by surprise and take the victory on the road!
Finally, after four quarters of fighting, with a wave of perfect start 19-4, the Bucks, although in the first half, once overpowered the Raptors and occupied the initiative on the court.
But after returning from the second half, Fan Jordan + Boucher felt hot in the third quarter, even three points in the middle and outside the line, leading the Raptors to play a wave of counterattack and successfully reversed the situation on the court.
Despite the final game, the Bucks, led by Brother Alphabet, tied the score several times and saw the hope of winning again.
But Nathia Kamu + Anunoby ushered in an outbreak, helping the Raptors to take a seven-point lead in the end and seal the victory in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Raptors also beat the Bucks 103-96 on the road, and at the same time, they also completed a 15-point reversal!
Rushing to the away game in this game, the Raptors' change of lineup gained results, and the whole team played a 5-player scoring double-double, multi-point blossoming team performance, sweeping away the previous downturn.
In the case of the main forces such as VanVleet + Achuva + Boucher, each performing its own duties, the play of the two core Siakam + Anunoby is particularly critical!
In this game, Siakam was full of firepower, starting 38 minutes, shooting nearly 60% of the 11-of-20 shooting, and the outside three-point shot was 3 shots and 3 shots without false shots, bombing a game-high 30 points, plus 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 13 points in a single quarter in the final quarter not only helped the Raptors to hold the victory, but also became a difficult existence for the Bucks to solve!
And rationally speaking, in this game against the MVP alphabet brother, Siakam is not inferior in terms of personal data and team performance!
Of course, the Raptors were able to beat the Bucks in this game, and the performance of Tigers will Beganoby is also indispensable.
Although Anunoby fought to 6 fouls, he lived up to expectations and completed the task, contributing 24 points, 8 rebounds , 4 assists + 1 block.
Not only in the offensive end, but also in the defensive end, successfully interfered with the Bucks' offensive rhythm and deployment, for the Raptors to win the victory, made a great contribution!
On the other hand, on the Bucks side, the team collapsed in the second half of this game, and finally lost the game performance by 7 points, which obviously made it difficult for home fans to accept.
After all, under the excellent performance of Alphabet Brother playing well and winning 30+6+4+2, the performance of Middleton + Matthews in this game is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory!
In this campaign, Middleton was slightly sluggish, starting 35 minutes, only 3 of 12 shots can be described as cold, although with strong personal ability, Middleton still cut the overall performance of 16 +4 +5 +3 +2.
But he was unable to open the situation on the offensive end, and at the same time there were 3 mistakes, which was still a bit stretched!
At the same time, Matthews also lost the standard in this game, not to mention only 2 of 10 shots in the whole game, and the outside three-point shot was only 1 of 8 shots, completely losing the crosshairs, and failed to provide the Bucks with the firepower output of the outside line in time.
In the face of Siakam, who has gone crazy, and the Raptors, who are all soldiers, this battle has worked hard for a whole time, but the alphabet brother who is difficult to support alone seems to have no choice but to drink and hate!
Considering that the team was hit by a big upset at home, I have to say that Holliday, who was injured on the field, was somewhat unable to sit still!
