However, the injury of the second boss Middleton cast a shadow on their prospects for defending the title, which is why more fans are optimistic that Lu Kai can continue to soar before the game!
After the game began, both teams showed the league's top defensive quality, and the offensive efficiency of the core players on both sides was not high, but the first round of the nets' big kill of the green Kai double detective Lang, facing the defending champions clearly know what is the defense of the sky, they could not kill the inside line and could only shoot three-pointers on the outside line, while the Bucks played steadily under the leadership of the alphabet brother, and finally defeated The Green Kai 101-89 and won the opening of the Eastern Conference semifinals!
Facing the league's top defense, the double probe Flower Lang style is not there
The final big victory of the regular season, the second-place Green Kai in the East, was once regarded by fans as undead, after all, this ranking means that they will most likely encounter the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, but when the Nets really stand in front of The Green Kai, the fans find that the Duo duo is not as strong as expected, and the double detective Flower Lang is not slightly inferior as expected.
Facing the Nets, Tatum is even more full of firepower, completely unstoppable presence on the court, averaging 29.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals in four series, shooting 45.6% and 41.9% from three-point range, respectively, but facing the Bucks' top defense of the league, Tatum has no first-round style, with only 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, while Jaylen Brown is extremely low-existent. Only 12 of the 13 shots were paid in. In the whole game, Green Kai shot a total of 84 times, of which 50 were three-point shots, and the defending champion's inner line defense made the tough Green Kai have to be soft, and more choices were made on the outside!
