Beijing time on April 28, the Bucks 116-100 defeated the Bulls, the big score 4-1 promotion, 4-1 score is what we often call the gentleman sweep, in the Bulls pulled 1-1 when many people think the Bulls are going to counterattack, but Budenholzer did not panic, and finally won three games in a row to easily qualify, and this is still in the case of Middleton's injury, the three Bucks will play into the garbage time, I have to say that this Bucks is indeed very strong.
Alphabet Brother scored 23 points on 8-of-9 halftime to create a playoff career halftime scoring record, 33 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in 11 of 15 of 30 minutes in the whole game, shooting as high as 73.3%, and his attack under the basket can be said to have blown up all the Bulls, even if it is a three-man combination. The Alphabet Brothers averaged 28.6 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game in the Series, shooting 56.8% from the field.
Bucks official push began to celebrate: the more you get, the more you will be tested.
The 38-degree temperature is good for barbecues, and the Holliday board is a bull. It feels like the Bucks are already in the joy of qualifying.
But soon the first blow came, and the FTE predicted that the Bucks would have a 25 percent chance of making another round of promotion, compared with a 75 percent chance of the Bucks' second-round opponents, the Celtics, which was not good news for the Bucks.
The key issue is chris Middleton's injury, which has been absent since the G2 race, and his MRI examination showed a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee that would require at least 3-4 weeks of recovery. (This is the news of April 22))
He could make a comeback around May 13 if it was three weeks on April 22, and around May 21 if it were four weeks, but the latest news is that his recovery is slow and he is unlikely to make a comeback in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Middleton's first-round G2 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee will take longer than expected, he will have to re-evaluate next week, and he is too likely to make a comeback in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and most likely at some point in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Remember the playoffs in 2017, Middleton faced the Celtics averaging 24.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.86 steals, 0.71 blocks, shooting 60%, three-point shooting rate of 61%, he also won the name of the Green Kai Killer, but facing the Celtics without him, Alphabet Brother and Holliday will really be difficult.
