On April 25, Beijing time, the Bucks defeated the Bulls 119-95 to win the key G4, and after this battle, the Bucks led the Bulls 3-1. Alphabet brother bombed 32 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, Holliday 26 points, 7 assists and 6 three-pointers, Grayson Allen scored 27 points + 6 three-pointers, the Bucks have been firmly in control of the situation, LaVine is a rare highlight of this game Bulls, with 24 points and 13 assists in the whole game.
Zach Lavin has been questioned in the first three games of this series, with only one double 20+ in three games, averaging just 17.7 points below his regular season, and he is completely unable to help DeRozan reduce the pressure. If it doesn't erupt in silence, it dies in silence, and this G4 is a life-and-death battle for Chicagoans, and Lavine finally broke out.
At the beginning, LaVine found two consecutive three-pointers to help the team chase points, the first quarter bucks once pulled away to 9 points, LaVine's difficult throw hit, a whistle-pressing three-pointer again, LaVine 8 of 5 in the single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers to win 12 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. He had a maximum of three three-pointers in his first three games, and he had already hit two three-pointers in the first quarter of the game.
In the second quarter, because Caruso was hit in the face by Carter, LaVine took on more organizational responsibility, and he gave three assists in a single quarter, but failed to hit three shots. In the third quarter, Lavine had 8 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in the single quarter, completing a feat of 20 points and 12 assists, and in the last quarter, Lavine almost clashed with Portis, and the referee gave two people a T.
It was already garbage time, I broke through Portis and you still put your arms around my neck, LaVine must have been very angry, and finally LaVine scored 24 points, 13 assists and 5 rebounds on 8-of-18 in the game, shooting 44.4%.
LaVine scored 20 points and 10 assists in the third quarter, becoming the first Bulls player to have 20+10 assists in the playoffs since Rose in 2011.
Speaking about his knee in an interview after the game, Lavin said: "I've been limping all season, bro, I'll be fine. In other words, LaVine's knee still has an injury, and he has missed many regular season games this season because of a knee injury.
