In the Eastern Conference Semifinals G1, the Bucks faced the Celtics, and The Alphabet Brother proved once again that he is the best player in the NBA. Throughout the game, the Green Army tried every means to restrict The Alphabet Brother, but he still had a huge influence in the game.
Throughout the game, Alphabet scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, the second time in his career that he had a triple-double in a playoff game. Despite his average shooting feel, shooting just 9-of-25, he remains the most dominant player on the field.
On the offensive end, Alphabet Brother's organizational ability went straight to the Green Army's top defense. The Green Army's strategy of defending Alphabet Brother is similar to the way they defended KD in the first round. The difference is that Alphabet Brother's passing skills are stronger than KD's. He delivered 12 assists throughout the game, with teammates shooting seven three-pointers and five two-pointers. Despite his poor hand, Alphabet Brother still made 55 points (24 + 31 points) for the Bucks, accounting for more than 50% of the team's total scores (101 points).
On the defensive end, The Alphabet Brother's coverage under the basket is amazing, which makes the framers feel very frightened. Throughout the game, the Green Army shot only 33 percent from the field. In fact, the Green Army hit just 10 two-pointers in the entire game, a record low in team history. The Green Army couldn't get into the box, they had to frantically try three-point shooting. Throughout the game, the Green Army threw 50 three-pointers and only hit 18 of them.
After eliminating the Bulls in the last round, Alphabet Brother once said in an interview: "I don't just rely on scoring to influence the game, this is not my style, I rely on my effort to influence the game, I defend desperately, try to block opponents, try to grab rebounds, I also try to create opportunities for teammates, and constantly speak out." ”
Judging from the G1 in the semi-finals, Alphabet Brother did exactly that. With his own poor hand, he took the victory away from home for the team through a high level of passing and defending. For the Green Army, such a letter brother is simply terrible.
