The NBA playoffs continued, and the Second Game of the Series between the Bucks and the Celtics came to an end, and the Bucks lost the game 86:109, suffering a 23-point defeat. Unlike the first game between the two teams, the Celtics took the lead at the beginning of the game. The Browns are in the form of the Fire Tropicals have the advantage on the court, and under Uduka's strategy, the Bucks are always suppressed, the Bucks' 23-point fiasco is too hard to be true, the 36-year-old veteran sword is not old, and the Uduka strategy is a great success.
At the start of the game, the Celtics played a small 18-3 climax, establishing an early lead. On the other hand, the Bucks have not entered the state for a long time, the team's core letter brother feels sluggish, although in the third quarter ushered in an outbreak of single quarter to cut 18 points, to help the team narrow the point difference, but helpless Celtics teamwork, to maintain the lead to the end. Not only did the Bucks lose the game by a big score, but they also lost 51 points less than the Celtics in terms of outside statistics. Throughout the game, the Bucks made 18 shots from outside the three-point line and hit only three goals, while the Celtics hit 20 of the 43 shots. The two teams have a 17-point difference in three-pointers, which is also the second largest three-point gap in NBA playoff history. The Celtics shot 20-of-43 from three-point range, setting a team-history playoff record for single-game three-point shooting, up from 19. In contrast, the Bucks only had three three-pointers in this game, which is also the lowest single game since Budenholzer became the Bucks head coach (2018). Such a data comparison can be said to be too hard-
In this game, Bucks player Giannis Antetokounmpo played 37 minutes, 11 of 27 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 9 free throws, 28 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the data seems to be no problem, but those who have watched the game know how depressed Alphabet Brother played in the first half, facing the Celtics' defense, Alphabet Brother 12 of 2, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 5 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 2 turnovers, shooting only 16.7%, shooting rate of only 16.7%, It all stemmed from Horford's defense of him. In the G1 game, Alphabet Brother was 9 of 25, and in his 5 minutes and 11 seconds against Horford, he shot only 2 goals and scored 6 points, 1 assist and 3 turnovers, which is enough to reflect that the 36-year-old veteran's defensive ability is still excellent.
In this game, Celtic head coach Uduka changed his defensive strategy. Choose to put the alphabet brother mid-range shot and the outside shot. Don't put a bag clip on The Alphabet Brother until he enters the three-second zone. The back near the three-second zone all let Horford go to the single defense, and Horford was left to watch the alphabet brother as long as he played, and the defensive effect of this game was equally obvious. In the first quarter, Alphabet Brother was defended to 1 of 7, and at one point it was 1 of 10 to score only 2 points. Although Alphabet Brother had an explosion in the 3rd quarter, it was too late and the Bucks eventually lost the game. The Celtics' winning game is directly related to head coach Uduka's adjustment, and his defensive strategy against Alphabet Brother can be said to be a great success.
At present, the big score between the two sides has reached a 1:1 draw. After the Bucks lack Middleton, how to crack the next Celtics defensive alphabet is the key to whether the Bucks can win. Looking forward to the next great performance of the two teams.
