After a bitter defeat and a hasty road trip, the greatly frustrated Bucks returned home and ushered in the challenge of the Knicks during the two-game losing streak.
For the Bucks, Grayson Allen returned from suspension to try to bring more help to alphabet brother + Holliday + Middleton and defend the home court to save face.
On the other hand, the Knicks, whether the team can withstand the pressure in this away game will undoubtedly be a big challenge for Randall + Barrett!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of the alphabet brother, the Bucks, who played at home, in the first half, overwhelmed the Knicks and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, Fournier + Barrett in the third quarter continued to exert their strength, leading the Knicks to chase points and successfully forced the point difference to between millimeters.
But helplessly at the moment of the final showdown, Alphabet Brother + Middleton + Holliday successively exerted their strength and joined forces to play a wave of 20-9 offensive frenzy, locking up the victory in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Bucks also won 123-108 at home to the Knicks, successfully defending the home court, but also giving the opponent Knicks 3 consecutive losses!
Playing at home in this game, the Bucks swept away the slump of the previous game loss, playing a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures and all the staff.
In the case of Portis + Grayson Allen + Connaughton and other main players, each performing their duties, the joint bombardment of the 82 + 25 + 19 of the big three letter brothers + Middleton + Holliday play, it is particularly critical!
The alphabet brother was very efficient in this game, starting 32 minutes, shooting more than 60% of the 12-of-19 shooting, scoring a game-high 38 points, plus 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal all-around performance.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 12 points in the final quarter, inside and outside the single quarter, not only helped the Bucks to keep the victory, but also once became the Knicks' "headache"!
In addition, as the second leader of the team, middleton's play in this game also played a crucial role.
Although Middleton did not feel good in 1 of 7 three-pointers from the outside, with strong personal ability, Middleton still delivered 20 points + 7 rebounds + 4 assists + 2 steals, and completed the team's task as expected!
Of course, the Bucks were able to win big in this game, and the performance of core point guard Juul Holliday was also indispensable.
Holliday was well-defended in this game, starting 32 minutes, shooting 8 of 15 from the middle and 4 three-pointers, contributing a double-double performance of 24 points , 5 rebounds , 10 assists and 1 steal.
Not only did it make a difference on the offensive end, disrupting the Knicks' defensive plan, but also successfully stringing together the Bucks' entire team's offense, affecting the trend of the game at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!
More importantly, after defeating the Knicks in this game, the Bucks also officially surpassed the Nets and 76ers with a regular season record of 31 wins and 20 losses, and rose to no. 4 in the East, and under the leadership of the Big Three, the Bucks finally came out of the quagmire!
On the other hand, on the Knicks side, the team was completely suppressed in this game, and finally swallowed a 15-point defeat + 3 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, after Playing well in Fournier, bombing a team-high 25 points, plus 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Barrett handed over a comprehensive performance of 23+4+3+2, and Randall's play in this battle was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory!
In this game against the defending champions, Randle was slightly restrained on the offensive end, playing 36 minutes in the starting game, only 9 shots, and got a sluggish performance of 9 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, losing his previous firepower and vitality.
At the same time, throughout the game, Randall also had as many as 4 personal errors, and the plus-minus value on the court was as low as -12, which can be said to be eclipsed at both ends of the attack and defense!
In the case that Randall can't attack or defend, in the face of the crazy big three alphabet brother + Middleton + Holliday, Fournier + Barrett, who has worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to drink and hate.
In this regard, many Knicks fans, after the team suffered 3 consecutive losses, also said: Randall wake up!
