On April 28, Beijing time, just today, the series of Bucks and Bulls came to an end, with the performance of the alphabet brother Tianshen, the defending champion crushed the big victory with a 16-point advantage, and finally eliminated the Bulls 4-1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, next, their opponent will be the Celtics. It's clear that the Celtics are a tough team, which is why they went from the bottom of the season to second in the division. Compared to the Bulls, the Celtics have a tougher defense and are in better health.
Therefore, the next competition between the two sides will definitely rub out a lot of sparks. Considering the 1-4 aggregate scores for the Bulls and Bucks, the Celtics and Bucks' series without 6 games may not be able to score a winner or loser. Of course, as the defending champion last season, despite the loss of Middleton, an offensive and defensive champion, they are still better than the Celtics in terms of overall strength, at least at the point of alphabet brother, they form a crushing advantage over the Celtics, Tatum is strong, but still a little immature.
The Celtics' defense is very hard, but the Bucks' defense is not soft, on the inside, they have two crazy townsman, Dalo and Portis, and there are veterans like Ibaka on the bench, the No. 3 has a letter brother, the No. 1 has Holliday, and there are almost no loopholes in defense. For the Celtics, their advantage is the No. 2 position, which Brown could pose a certain threat to the Bucks. Although the Celtics swept the Nets 4-0, the Nets are a team with insufficient defensive qualities, can not be compared with the Bucks, and the second round is the biggest test for them.
So, in the semifinals, Tatum and Jaylen Brown will face a higher defensive intensity. This year, Alphabet Brother did not qualify for the scoring king, nor did he qualify for the MVP, and his biggest goal is to achieve the defense of the title and win the FMVP again. After the game, Alphabet Brother also talked about his views on the next game against the Celtics, he said: "It will be a difficult series, we will give Tatum strength, Allen and Holliday will take turns to serve him, and he will never let him play so comfortably." "It's clear that Alphabet Brother knows where the Celtic threat is.
This sentence is obviously for Tatum, he is the biggest star of the Celtics, and how the Green Army performs depends on Tatum's personal state, so giving Tatum strength is undoubtedly the best choice. For Tatum, being wary of Caruso-style tragedies is a top priority, after all, Irving's injury last season was already a lesson. Of course, the Celtics are not easy to mess with, at least Smart will not let the alphabet brother be so arrogant, but for them, it is especially important to avoid Caruso and Irving-style tragedies.
