Beijing time on February 11, the NBA regular season continued, today the Sun sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Bucks, last season the Bucks defeated the Suns in the finals, as the saying goes, the total runner-up is the biggest loser, so the enemy family met with extra red, the two sides showed the intensity of the playoff level from the beginning of the game, and finally the Bucks were injured because of the two generals, resulting in the team's lack of competitiveness, losing to the Suns 107-131.
The Suns won this campaign by more than a few points, the whole team of 7 people scored in double figures, under Paul's coordination, the role players all played a good performance, Bridges shot 7 of 11, 2 of 5 three-pointers to 18 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, Crowder had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Cameron Johnson had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, McGee had 12 points and 4 rebounds, Booker was more inefficient, 6 of 19 shots, 2 of 8 three points, 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, But Ayton replaced Booker's offensive firepower well, scoring 27 points, seven rebounds and one assist on 12-of-14 shooting.
This kind of hard battle can better reflect the value of a player, facing Alphabet Brother and Portis, Ayton can play this kind of performance shows how good his strength is, I don't know if the Suns will send a top salary in the offseason. I think the best performance of this campaign is Paul, 5 of 11 shots, 3 of 3 three points 0 to get 17 points, 7 rebounds, 19 assists and 2 steals, so far Paul is the only player this season who has twice scored 19 assists, the only one in the league, and there are only 2 turnovers in the whole game, worthy of the god of point guards!
This campaign alphabet brother only played 29 minutes, the whole game 14 shots 5, three points 3 0 to take 18 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block, the alphabet brother in the game is weak, so he also had to withdraw from the game early, I hope he is not seriously injured, in the face of Crowder + inner line of the chase blockage, the letter brother is really not good to play. Middleton shot 9-of-15 from the field, with 21 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists on 1-of-6 three-point range, 7-of-12 shooting and 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-4 three-point range.
The Bucks' biggest advantage against the Suns is their triple core, because the injury of the alphabet brother led to the team's loss, and the only big player on the bench, Connaughton, was also injured today, this game Connaughton played 16 minutes, 1 of 7 shots to score 3 points and 2 rebounds, in the game Connaughton's hand hit Paul's forearm and then left the game, after the game reported that Connaughton suffered a fracture of the palm of his right hand, this time I hope Connaughton can rush back before the playoffs.
In this game, the two sides did not show their due strength, the Bucks were not playing well due to injury, and the New Signings of the Suns did not appear in the game, today's trade deadline, the Suns won The Little Holliday and Craig, the strength of the lineup was further improved, and the Bucks sent away Di Vincenzo, and then vacated three lineup places, they are thinking of taking a few good players in the buyout market to fill the lineup.
After winning the suns won four consecutive wins, they are now 4.5 wins ahead of the Warriors, if there is no accident the Suns will maintain the league's first record after the end of the season, after all, their lineup thickness and chemistry are too good, the Bucks lost to the fourth place in the East, although only ranked fourth in the East, but the Bucks for now they should still be the most competitive team in the East.
Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current bucks and the sun? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
