On February 2, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Wizards challenged the Bucks away. The wizards core Bill was absent due to injury in this game, but the Wizards did not fall into passivity this time, and have been clinging to the score, only 5 points behind after the third quarter, but unfortunately they failed to resist in the last quarter, allowing the opponent to pull the point difference apart. In the end, the Wizards lost to the Bucks 98-112, suffering six consecutive losses and falling to 12th place in the East.
The Wizards were passive in the first half, scoring only 40 points, 13 points behind the Bucks, but in the third quarter, they launched a crazy counterattack, bombarding 33 points in a single quarter and successfully narrowing the point difference to single digits. The Wizards also clenched the score in the final quarter, and into the final three minutes, the Wizards trailed by just four points, 96-100. I thought I would get into a tug-of-war next, but I didn't expect the Wizards to suddenly collapse, relying only on Harrell to get 2 points in the last moment, and the other times they were playing iron, and the Bucks pulled the point difference apart and finally won the game.
In this campaign, the Bucks core alphabet brother played very well, playing 37 minutes, 14 of 21 shooting, 5 of 5 free throws, and had 33 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks. It was the second time this season alphabet had finished at least 30 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game, and only Embiid had 1 other player. This time he was also supported, with Holliday scoring 22 points, Portis 17 points, Middleton 13 points and Allen 10 points.
Without Beal, the Wizards' Lakers' three veterans became the main offensive firepower, combining to shoot down 57 points, but unfortunately failed to help the team to a victory. Among them, Kuzma had a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds, Harrell contributed 20 points and 5 rebounds on the bench, and Pope scored 12 points, but the Wizards team except for the three of them scored in double figures, and no other players had double-figures. In the midst of trade rumors, Dinwiddie only scored 7 points on 2 of 9, and he also missed a lot of good opportunities in the last quarter, no wonder the team wants to trade him.
In addition, during the game, Harrell also had a vicious offense against Alphabet Brother, when Alphabet Brother was fiercely dragged down by Harrell when he was preparing to dunk, and Bucks player Portis immediately came up to confront Harrell. After the referee reviewed the video, he blew Harrell for a first-degree malicious foul, and bucks coach Budenholzer said after the game: "I think this malicious foul is very appropriate, because protecting the player is always the first." ”
