On March 13, Beijing time, Bucks coach Budenholzer revealed the team's injured personnel. He said: "Connaughton trained with the coaches in light physical contact. López trained in 5V5. He's doing a great job and he's getting closer and closer to coming back. At the same time, it is similar to the situation of López. Hill is also close to returning. "In this way, a terrifying stag intact is about to appear in front of us!"
The Bucks have maintained their strength this season, and under the leadership of Brother Alphabet, the Bucks have recently won six consecutive victories, ranking second in the East with a record of 42 wins and 25 losses. It is worth mentioning that this season, the Bucks have also strengthened, introducing the inside fighter Ibaka, to make up for Lopez's temporary absence, and now that Lopez is about to return, the Bucks' inside line has improved. It's not easy for the other side to score.
Relative to last season, not only has the squad been improved, but the players' abilities and awareness have also been improved. Alphabet Brother averaged 29.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Scoring topped the league table, his shooting ability and free throw stability have improved to the naked eye. Middleton has also become more stable, he is still the key second boss of the team, And Holliday is better integrated into the team, causing trouble for opponents at both ends of the attack and defense.
In addition to the Big Three, Portis has performed very well this year, averaging 15.7 points per game to break a career high, he is an important puzzle piece for the Bucks to win the championship; Allen has a black history since college, coupled with a certain scoring ability, which can definitely cause trouble for opponents; Connaughton and Lopez are the main players of the Bucks, although they are currently absent, but they have experienced the road to winning the championship, and I believe that they can adapt when they return.
From the starter to the bench, the Bucks' lineup seems reasonable. Competition in the East is fierce this year! The Heat, Bucks, Philadelphia and Bulls are in the top four in the East and have a relatively close record. But personally, I think that both the championship experience and the strength of the team, the Bucks are slightly better than the other three teams.
Of course, before it's over, anything is possible! Looking forward to more exciting performances of the Bucks in the future!
