On April 2, Beijing time, a tragic case was born in the NBA arena! The Second Eastern Conference Bucks, who just beat the Nets, rested all the main players at home, only to be hit by a crazy hanging from the visiting Clippers, losing 119-153! The Clippers Covington scored 36 points on 10-of-14 three-pointers, and the Bucks and a bunch of role players were heartless and eventually suffered a fiasco. After the loss, the Bucks are only 0.5 games away from escaping second in the East.
After a narrow win over the Nets the previous day, the Bucks chose to retire all of their main players in their back-to-back game against the Clippers. Although it seems reasonable, it cannot be excluded from intentional ingredients. I don't know if it is just in the second place in the East, a bit flustered, the Bucks blatantly "acted" because they are 1.5 games ahead of the third-place Green Army, and if they do not lose, there will be a 50% chance of first-round play against the Nets.
The Clippers, too, fought back-to-back, and they took their turns off. After the game began, the two sides played very openly, the Clippers were on a three-pointer, and the Bucks on the Side of Wola and Portis also played well. In the first quarter, the Clippers led 34-30. At halftime, the Clippers led by 11 points at 73-62. In the third quarter, the wind and rain suddenly changed, the Clippers three-point arrow rained down, a single quarter bombed 41 points, the end of the third quarter led by 26 points. The game also lost suspense, and the Clippers opened up to a gap of 30 or even more points in the final quarter. In the end, the Clippers won a crazy big victory!
The fans on the scene were also bored, and the fans left the stadium early. The fans who remained on the pitch, although they witnessed the team's defeat, looked in a good mood, after all, this game has no meaning. On the contrary, losing the game can give the team some initiative. Throughout the game, Covington blasted a career-high 43 points, Kofi 32 and Kennard 23. The Bucks Vola had 28 points and Portis 25 points.
Compared to the course of the game, the Bucks' ranking is more intriguing. After this battle, the Bucks are 1 game behind the First Heat in the East and 0.5 games ahead of the Third Green Army in the East, so it can be said that there are choices between advance and retreat. Of course, in the controllable, I believe the Bucks will still try to avoid the first round against the Nets, maybe this is why they lost.
