After a crushing defeat at home, the Bucks revived and faced the Challenge of the Wizards during a five-game losing streak.
In terms of the Bucks, Budenholzer did not move, and whether the team can defend the home court to save face, the alphabet brother + Middleton + Holliday undoubtedly needs to stand up.
On the Wizards side, Beal was absent due to injury, and Aaron Holliday entered the starting line to try to help Kuzma + Dinwiddie do a big job on the road and end the losing streak!
Finally, after 4 quarters of fighting, with a strong start of 20-5, the Bucks, who played at home, comprehensively suppressed the Wizards in the first three quarters and occupied the initiative on the court.
Despite the final showdown, Harrell ushered in an outbreak, leading the Wizards to a 13-5 counterattack frenzy, instantly turning the situation on the court and successfully overtaking the score.
But helpless bucks three giants began to exert force, alphabet brother + Holliday + Middleton continued to attack, the Vietnamese more courageous Bucks, once again established a double-digit lead, completely locked in the win.
The Bucks, who finally withstood the pressure, also defeated the Wizards 112-98 at home, successfully defending the home court, and also gave the opposing Wizards 6 consecutive losses!
Playing at home in this game, facing their own baskets and fans, the Bucks will live up to expectations, playing a team performance with 5 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming.
In the case of the main forces such as Portis + Middleton + Allen, each performing their duties, the team's ace alphabet brother, and the play of Tigers Holliday, are particularly critical!
In this game, Holliday went low and high, scoring only 7 points in the first half, and Holliday scored 15 points in the second half, contributing 22 points, 5 rebounds , 2 assists + 2 steals.
And his outstanding performance in the final quarter, in which he scored 11 points in a single quarter, not only helped the Bucks win the game, but also completely disrupted the Wizards' defensive rhythm and deployment, successfully affecting the trend of the game!
Of course, the Bucks were able to keep the victory in this game, and the performance of the core alphabet brother of the team was also indispensable.
The alphabet brother was very efficient, starting 36 minutes, shooting more than 60% of the 14-of-21 shooting, and it was a game-high 33 points, plus 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks of triple-double performance.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 25 points in the entire second half, while ushering in the outbreak, also became a difficult existence for the Wizards to solve, almost single-handedly, ending the Wizards' attempt to reverse the idea!
More importantly, after scoring a triple-double in this game, Alphabet Brother also officially surpassed Michael Jordan with the 29th triple-double of his career, rising to 18th place in league history, setting a great personal record!
On the other hand, on the Wizards side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and finally swallowed the performance of the game with 14 points and 6 consecutive defeats, which obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, for the Wizards, this game, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of Dinwiddie's poor performance, Kuzma's performance in this game is indeed remarkable!
Kuzma lost the game, starting 33 minutes, shooting 9 from the middle of the line on 19 shots and hitting 3 three-pointers, bombing a team-high 25 points, plus 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
Although it did not help the Wizards win, there is one thing to say, Kuzma's excellent performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this game has indeed put great pressure on the Bucks!
Just in the face of the alphabet brother who has gone crazy, and the Bucks team, who has worked hard for a whole battle, but is difficult to support, Kuzma seems to have no choice but to drink and hate.
