On April 18, Beijing time, the Bucks welcomed the Challenge of the Bulls at home, and in the end, the Bucks defeated the Bulls 93-86 to win the playoffs, and the Bulls were not satisfied with the referee's decision after the loss, especially the team's head coach Donovan.
In this game, Brother Alphabet was repeatedly "plotted" by his opponent in the fight with Caruso, and soon received his fifth foul, and for a long time in the last quarter, Brother Alphabet sat under the field to rest, until the end of the fourth quarter, he was sent to the court.
Bulls coach Donovan believes the referee missed a foul on the alphabet brother, and he should have committed six fouls.
In the last two minutes of the game, when Holliday missed the shot, The Alphabet Brother and the Bulls grabbed the rebound under the basket, and it was obvious that the Alphabet Brother had a move to suppress Williams' grabbing board, and the referee at that time awarded the Bulls Williams a defensive foul, which Donovan believed was obviously the offensive feedback of the Alphabet Brother.
Whether or not the ball was an offensive foul on Alphabet Brother, the Bulls had too many problems in today's game.
1. The three-point shooting rate on the offensive end is frighteningly low
Although, today, the Bulls and Bucks scored relatively low, and both teams did a very good job of defending, especially the Bulls, who killed the alphabet brother very well on the offensive end, but on the offensive end, the Bulls did not take advantage of the opportunity, especially DeRozan, who shot 6 of 25 in this game, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and the effectiveness on the offensive end was very low.
There is also the Bulls' three-point shooting rate, today, the Bulls shot a total of 37 three-pointers, but only hit 7 times, the shooting rate is only a pitiful 18.9%, and many times it is an empty three-pointer, the Bulls are not grasped, to know that the Bulls in the regular season three-point shooting rate is ranked fourth in the league, today the Bulls in the three-point line is one of the main reasons for the Bulls to lose.
2. Ability to handle the ball at key moments and choice of opportunities
Many people say that the playoffs are the stage for true superstars, and while the Bulls have Vucevic, Ravin and DeRozan, the Bulls' ability to handle the ball in key moments is really not doing a good job.
Today, in the final moments of the game, Vucevic missed a layup, but at the same time took the rebound, held the ball under the basket for a second attack, still failed to score, did not cause the opponent to foul, but let the big Lopez grab the rebound, this ability to finish at key moments is indeed very limited.
There is also LaVine's choice in the last moment, when there are more than 30 seconds left in the game, the Bulls are 3 points behind, LaVine is holding the ball to attack, the Bulls could have slowed down the offensive rhythm and organized a successful attack, but LaVine threw a super far three-pointer, completely handed over the initiative to the Bucks, for today's Bulls three-point shooting rate, Lavine's three-point shot really should not be.
3. The defense against Lopez was a failure
The Bulls' restrictions on Alphabet Brother today were very successful, allowing Alphabet Brother to receive 5 offenses early, and most of the fourth quarter was rested off the field, but today's defense against the big Lopez on the inside was indeed too failed.
In the fourth quarter of the game, due to the limitations of the alphabet brother, Lopez played well in the fourth quarter, playing 2+1 in many key moments, laying the foundation for the Bucks to win.
