On April 25, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued to unfold, and the defending champion Bucks and Bulls ushered in the fourth game, with the Bucks leading 2-1 in the first three games. I thought that Middleton's injury would bring the suspense of the series back, but I didn't expect to let the defending champion wake up early, the last 30-point win, this time the Bucks did not give the Bulls too many opportunities, the second quarter a wave of flow to open the point difference, and then has been occupying the initiative. In the end, the Bucks beat the Bulls 119-95 on the road, and the big score came to 3-1, getting the game point early.
Middleton was still absent in this game, the Bulls showed good morale at the beginning, and the first quarter was also able to bite the score, but in the second quarter the Bucks found a touch on the outside, the point difference quickly opened to double digits, and the Bucks led by 15 points after half-time. In the second half, the Bucks continued to be in a hot state, stretching the point difference to more than 20 points, fortunately, the Bulls' wave of 17-3 offensive attack narrowed the point difference, but then suddenly muted, the Bucks responded with an 11-0 offensive wave, the game also lost suspense, and the Bucks once again won a big victory.
When Middleton was injured, they all thought that this was the bulls' chance, but they didn't expect that the last 2 games had a one-sided situation, which was also quite surprising, and the bulls really did not deserve the title of a strong team. As the defending champion, the Bucks' ability to adjust is still very good, and when the core was injured, Allen became a Surprise soldier, filling the gap in Middleton. Allen played 28 minutes, shooting 10-of-12 and 6-of-7 from three-point range, with 27 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals. He also became the first player in Bucks history to shoot 5+ three-pointers in a row in the playoffs, G3 5-of-7 three-pointers.
Allen became a Wizard, alphabet brother also entered serious mode, this time played 35 minutes, 22 shots 11, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, slashed 32 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists, the Bulls are not at all. In the past three games, Alphabet Brother has had at least 30 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in 2 games, becoming the second player in the NBA to get this statistic since the first division of east and west in the 1970-71 season, the first being Duncan.
The Bucks are 3-1 ahead and have won 54 points in the last two games, is this still the playoffs? It's a one-sided situation entirely. The Bulls are really disappointing, relying on DeRozan to break out to win a win, the last 2 Games DeRozan is in a slump, this time 8-of-20 to get 23 points, without his play, the Bulls have no hope of winning. In addition to being eliminated, Caruso also left the field injured and is checking for concussions, if he can't play in the next game, then there is basically no suspense.
