This season's NBA regular season has reached the final stage, for the top teams in the standings, has begun to make the most adequate preparation for the playoffs, one of the most important jobs is to control the team's record by strategically abandoning the game, so that it can meet an easier opponent in the first round of the playoffs, from the current season of the Eastern Conference, durant, Irving and Ben Simmons led the Nets, it is difficult to break into the top six before the end of the regular season. This means that they are likely to compete for a playoff spot through the playoffs, and the probability of winning the first game with their strength and reaching the playoffs in seventh place is the greatest, which is why many teams have avoided the second place in the East! And the defending champion Bucks do not seem to be afraid of the Nets, in this game with the league's upstart Bulls, despite the second boss Middleton hanging the free card, but the Bucks still played a very good overall offensive and defensive performance under the leadership of the alphabet brother, and finally washed the Bulls 126-98 blood, surpassing the 76ers in the standings and becoming the second place in the East!
Bucks were able to win the championship last season, a very important reason is the excellent defensive system they built, in this game with the Bulls, the defending champion showed the threat of their defense, before a continuous cut of 35+ DeRozan, this campaign is also lost in the defending champion's defensive system, although the whole game DeRozan also got 21 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, but the personal offensive efficiency is not high, 23 shots only hit 10 goals, Although Golden State Curry lavin felt good in three-pointers, he did not perform well in terms of two-pointers and impact inside scoring, and only scored 21 points on 6-of-16 shooting.
Inside core Vucevic is the bulls' trident, the most efficient individual offense, and the only one with a shooting rate of more than 50%, cutting 22 points and 7 rebounds, but he is not good for the interior protection, which is why the Bulls lost 20 rebounds in the whole game.
After limiting the opponent on the defensive end, the Bucks also played an extremely efficient performance on the offensive end, and the two core alphabet brothers and Holliday led by example, of which the alphabet brother hit 9 goals in 12 shots in the 29.4 minutes of his play, contributing 25 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks of comprehensive personal data, the only fly in the ointment is that there are too many personal mistakes, reaching a staggering 9 times.
As the team's outside defense tip, Holliday's performance at both ends of the attack and defense is almost perfect, hitting 12 goals in 17 shots, cutting 27 points, 7 assists and 1 steal, under the tandem of the two of them, the Bucks have a total of 7 players in the whole game to score double digits, which also lays the foundation for the team's big win.
In last season's playoffs, the Nets were eliminated by the Bucks in seven hard games, which is also what many Nets fans think, if the Bucks eventually lock the second place in the East, the Nets choose to lose the first playoff, and then the eighth in the East enters the playoffs, the first round to touch the Heat may be their best choice, how the Nets will choose, let's wait and see!
