Beijing time on April 28, the NBA playoffs continued, today the Bucks and bulls ushered in the fifth game of the series, before the Bucks 3-1 lead the opponent, today the Bucks sit at home there is a good chance to eliminate the Bulls, and finally the Bucks did not let the accident happen, under the leadership of the alphabet brother, the team to 116-100 light Bulls, the game from the first quarter of the Bucks set the tone, the first quarter after the lead of 16 points, because of the lack of Lavin, the Bulls did not play a strong counterattack, 16 points let them did not catch up the whole game.
From the perspective of the game, the Bulls have been beaten by the Bucks, in the absence of Middleton in the opponent's situation, the result of losing two consecutive innings, coupled with LaVine's absence, the Bulls have already thought that they can't beat the Bucks in the mentality, DeRozan has not played the role of a leader, 11 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists in 5 of 10 shots, Azan is indeed not the Raptors' previous garbage brother, but in the face of the pinch no star mentality will only pass, play more reasonable, but this will backfire.
Durant is an example, the first four games of the series try to play reasonably, but the teammates are not strong enough, the fifth game to let go of the smash is also almost to win a set, DeRozan if he had Durant G4 mentality, it is estimated that the Bucks are not so easy to win. Vucevic has multiple empty three-point opportunities after blocking and dismantling the bomb, and he can't shoot, 8 of 15 from the field, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 19 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, and his offense is not trustworthy at all when the team needs it.
The Bulls played best on the side of this campaign is Pavey, 9 of 13 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers got 23 points, 1 rebound and 1 block data, this template Leonard's No. 4 show strength is still good, the last game 13 shots 7, three points 6 3 won 20 points and 10 rebounds, his three points and mid-range are very stable, although the first three games are average, but considering that there is no ball and is a playoff rookie, the later performance is commendable.
Although eliminated, but the Bulls are not without gains, if this round of the series has a ball brother, maybe the Bucks can not win so easily, coupled with the absence of Caruso and LaVine, which also makes their strength further damaged, now Pavey played out, next season the Bulls' starting five tiger firepower will be more ferocious, but the team may consider changing the team leader, the team now these three cores do not have leadership temperament and the ability to play hard battles.
Bucks on the side of the alphabet brother played a star should perform, without Caruso's harassment, the alphabet brother scored like a probe, 11 of 15 shots, 1 of 3 points, 0 of three points, 33 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, in the first quarter of the alphabet took 15 points, the opponent of the whole team is only 18 points, it can be seen that he wants to close the game, the opponent Celtics have been resting to recover their physical strength is not good for the Bucks, the alphabet brother is now a bit like James in previous years, which is an important sign of his super-giant evolution.
The team's offseason 8.91 million to keep Portis is too wise, this game Portis started the game, 6 of 13 shots, 7 of 3 points 2 to get 14 points, 17 rebounds and 1 assist, since Middleton injury, Portis has won two double-doubles in three consecutive games, he made the Bucks' fault tolerance rate higher in the lineup, he and Alphabet are both players who can play in the 3-5 position, which can give Budenholzer more choices in terms of matching lineups.
Previously has been worried about the Bucks' bench firepower is insufficient, and after the alphabet brother led the team to play the advantage, their bench is also playing more easily to play a super level, Connaughton scored 20 points and 2 rebounds, Grayson Allen 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, just now I talked about the alphabet brother is very much like the peak James This topic, now add it again, 15 years or 18 years, James led that lineup can reach the Finals, relying on James to control the situation on the offensive end, should play, should pass, They are all revitalized, and the letters are the same now, but they are not as comfortable as Old Zhan seems.
The next round of the Bucks will face the defensively suffocating Celtics, the first game between the two sides will be held in the early morning of the 2nd, the Bucks look like they have no advantage in the case of Middleton's injury, and today according to ESPN, Middleton suffered a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, the recovery time may be longer than expected, he is unlikely to return in the Eastern Conference semifinals, but may come back at some stage in the Eastern Conference Finals, which is not good news for the Bucks!
