As the regular season showdowns deepened in the new season, last season's dark horse team, the Eagles, never played the momentum of their playoff dark horse team, and could only be bullied in the league. That's right, so far, they have only achieved a record of 17 wins and 25 losses, maintaining the 12th place in the East, and even suffered five consecutive defeats at this stage. Living up to the style of the playoffs, and even making it to the playoffs, the Eagles still can't go back.
But when they were challenged by last season's champion team, the Bucks, at home, they posed a lot of threat to their opponents. How the game goes, let's wait and see. At the beginning of the game, the away-play Bucks took the lead in getting into the form, achieving a feat of domination. The first quarter of the alphabet brother is not good, but Middleton and Portis and others can maintain a relatively hot state, successively sending 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 4 points and 7 rebounds, helping the team to play a 26-17 single quarter score and gain a 9-point lead.
After the start quickly established a score lead, the Bucks, who entered the second quarter of the showdown, were able to follow the trend and continue to widen the point difference between the two teams. Alphabet brother returned to form, with 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to a 36-33 score, once again taking a 3-point lead. By the end of the first half, the Bucks were already 62-50 ahead of the Hawks by 12 points. It is worth affirming that in the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Eagles failed to stop the Bucks, and it is not shameful that this regular season matchup still did not stop them.
Yi Bian fought again, and the Eagles finally launched a strong counterattack! In the third quarter, Collins and Hunter went on to send out a crucial 18 points to help the team play a 33-26 single-quarter score and recover the seven points they were behind in the first half. By the time the crucial final-quarter showdown was made, the gap had narrowed to five points, and the Hawks still had a chance to achieve a final comeback. In the regular showdown in the fourth quarter, the Eagles did not lose sight of the single quarter score of 38-26, and won the final victory of the game with an aggregate score of 121-114.
After completing the reversal of the last quarter, the Eagles could not continue to fall into the dilemma of losing consecutively, and finally completed the previous one-arrow revenge of the East Final. Looking back at the game, the overall state of the players on the Eagles side is very good, not only the team has 6 players who have reached double digits in points, but Trae Young even sent a comprehensive statistic of 30 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists in the 40 minutes of playing. There is also Collins, who has 16 points and 12 rebounds, and also played very self-sufficiently in the fifth position. Of course, front player Hunter also has 20 points and 9 rebounds, and his performance is also very good.
And seeing the Bucks who lost the game away, although the scoring efficiency of the alphabet brother is not very high, but with 8 of 20 shots in a single game, he also sent 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Middleton's scoring contribution is very prominent, 11 of 22 shots in a single game, giving a game-high score of 34 points, as well as 7 rebounds and 4 assists. However, although Brother Alphabet and Mi Shen can cut 61 points together, effectively helping the team to alleviate the pressure of scoring, the scoring performance of other players in the team is simply not too chicken, and they can only fall into the embarrassment of being alone. After losing this game, the Bucks also fell into the embarrassment of two consecutive losses, and the record dropped again, giving the Philadelphia 76ers the possibility of rebounding.
