Today, the NBA regular season continues with the Los Angeles Clippers taking on the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks won the NBA championship last season, and this season's goal is to defend the title. With the team's lineup gradually becoming complete, the Bucks are strong and are regarded as a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship. But when the Brooklyn Nets are firmly in 8th place in the East, no top four team in the East wants to meet the Nets early.
Against the Clippers today, the Bucks clearly didn't go all out to meet it, which gave the Los Angelesians a chance to explode. The Clippers need to fight for every win and secure their play-off spots, so they have role players carrying the flag when george is on the rotation.
Facing the Bucks' lack of the lineup of "alphabet brother" Jannis Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Holliday and Lopez the Big, the Clippers played very aggressively. Kennard contributed 23 points and six assists, and Coffey had 32 points and seven assists.
The Clippers' most impressive is still Covington. As a defensive player, Covington has the ability to shoot a three-pointer and is a standard 3D player. Usually, Covington didn't have a chance to shoot, but today he shot a cool shot.
In the game, Covington shot 15-of-24 and contributed 43 points and eight rebounds. Outside the three-point line, Covington shot 11-of-18 and pierced the Bucks' defense. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Bucks 153-119, ending the "break war".
Of course, it is unrealistic to expect Covington to be the main point of attack, but on certain occasions, Covington proved that he has a certain amount of attack power and can play a good game.
