On April 18, Beijing time, the Bucks played at home against the Bulls, and the Bucks successfully defeated the Bulls 93-86 at the end of the game. This round of playoff Bulls is not optimistic, after all, the second half of the regular season Bulls performance is bad, as if there is no previous explosive performance, especially against the strong team record is bad, so this round of series Bulls is not optimistic at all, and even in the eyes of many people, the Bulls may be swept out. The Bucks also quickly opened the score after the game began, but when the fans thought that the Bulls were going to suffer a fiasco, the Bulls had to complete the reversal in the third quarter, but unfortunately the Bucks quickly responded to re-establish the lead, and the fourth quarter bulls were once again stabilized by the Bucks in the case of the anti-score, and finally the Bucks refused to let the upset game happen.
In the first half of the game, the Bucks established a lead very early, and the Bulls were even more difficult to stop the decline in the back, and the Bucks continued to expand their lead, although the Bulls were able to score points to stop the bleeding, but the play of the alphabet brother and others continued to help the Bucks expand their lead, and the Bucks led by 13 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, when the alphabet brother was not present, the Bulls played a multi-player to chase 5 points, but the alphabet brother once again helped the Bucks open the score after playing, but the Bulls were also able to respond, and the Bucks led by 8 points at the end of the half. In the third quarter, DeRozan and Lavin helped the Bulls to close the score, Middleton hit a three-pointer to stabilize the situation, the next two teams came and went, LaVine and others helped the Bulls bite the score, and the Bucks attacked frequently, Vucevic sent a threat to help the Bulls tie the score, and then White scored 5 consecutive points to help the Bulls take a 5-point lead. After the timeout, Alphabet Gofawei led the team to reverse the score, and the Bucks led by three points at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams attacked iron, followed by Portis 1 of 2 free throws, but turned back Caruso hit a three-pointer, and then the two teams came to a standstill, after which Caruso caused a foul on alphabet brother offense, and the Bulls trailed the Bucks by 1 point. Jones hit a three-pointer after a timeout, Holliday scored on a layup, then Vucevic hit a three-pointer, Caruso steals and assists White to score at a critical moment, Vucevic scores after helping the Bulls back up by one point, and Holliday hits a three-pointer after the Bucks also lead by two points. After the timeout, Lopez played 2+1, Lavin hit three points, Holliday also hit a shot, DeRozan free throws 2 of 2, the next game DeRozan, Williams helped the Bulls bite the score, the key moment Lopez scored to stabilize the situation, behind Holliday free throws 2 of 2, and finally the Bulls chased the score without success to lose the game.
It is not easy for the Bucks to win the game, after all, the Bulls still brought trouble to the Bucks in this game, and the 5 fouls that the Alphabet Brother made the Bucks fall into difficulty prematurely in the fourth quarter, it can be said that the Bulls have every opportunity to reverse at this time, but at this time Holliday and Lopez stood up to help the team score and stabilize the situation, so the Bucks can win the game in this game, and the Alphabet Brother really needs to thank Holliday and Lopez, after all, without these two people playing, the Bulls really have the possibility of beating the Bucks. At the end of the game, Alphabet Brother had 27 points, 16 rebounds and 3 assists, Holliday had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Lopez had 18 points and 5 rebounds.
As for the Bulls not seizing the opportunity is too pity, after all, the bulls in the fourth quarter of the game have seen the opportunity to reverse, unfortunately, the key moment Vucevic did not have the previous performance, Lavin and DeRozan are even more sluggish, so the Bulls have no way to help the team win the game, especially LaVine's choice at the end of the fourth quarter is really debatable, and if the Bulls Three perform better, then the Bulls may win. At the end of the game, Lavine had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, DeRozan had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and Vucevic had 24 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists.
And although the Bulls lost the game, but only the Lakers abandoned Caruso can leave with their heads held high, after all, Caruso's performance in this game is too critical, although Caruso finally only got 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, but his performance is not fully reflected in the data, in the fourth quarter of the game, Caruso twice caused alphabet brother offensive fouls of great significance, at the same time at the critical moment Caruso also completed the steal to help the Bulls break the scoring drought, and then Caruso himself scored, It can be said that Caruso really did his best to help the bulls, and such Caruso could leave with his head held high.
