On February 2, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Bucks defeated the Wizards 112-98 at home. Alphabet played 38 minutes, scoring 33 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists on 14-of-21 shooting. The Wizards took various methods and failed to defend the alphabet brother, which may have led to the Wizards player Harrell's mental imbalance, and he fouled the alphabet brother in 1 defense.
At that time, the game was in the 4th quarter, and the alphabet brother cut to the basket to prepare for the dunk, and Harrell rushed to the horse and directly dragged the alphabet brother from the air fiercely. The referee, through video replay, gave Harrell a level 1 malicious foul. The referee's decision on the ball was no problem, but the Bucks head coach's words caused a heated discussion among fans.
Bucks coach Budenholzer said: "I think this malicious foul is blown very appropriately because protecting the players is always the first priority. "Fat Ding Basketball" believes that there is nothing wrong with Budenholzer's words: there is nothing wrong with this foul being blown up for level 1 malice, and there is nothing wrong with protecting the player as the first. But many fans think that Budenholzer is a bit too double-standard!
In the previous Bucks game against the Bulls, when Bulls guard Caruso broke through to the basket, he was fouled by Bucks guard Grayson Allen, directly hooked Caruso's right arm, and directly knocked Caruso directly from the air to the ground. This also led to a fracture of Caruso's right wrist and had to undergo surgery.
Bucks players, including the head coach, were very supportive of Allen, believing that Allen was a normal defense and not intentional. When the NBA officially banned Allen, the Bucks officially said that they did not accept it. But now that the roles are swapped and it is alphabet brother who has been maliciously fouled, Budenholzer has begun to claim that protecting the player is the first?
Some fans ridiculed the Bucks' double-standard behavior: Is it true that only the Bucks players are players, and Caruso is not a player?
What do you think of Budenholzer's remarks?
