17 points of fiasco! 19 points of fiasco! The strongest four giants in the league, at this level, how can they win the championship
Many teams in the NBA league now have three or four All-Star players, Suns Durant + Booker + Beal, Green Army Tatum + Jaylen Brown + Jrue Holiday + Porzingis, Warriors Curry + Klay + Wiggins + Dream (Paul is also an All-Star veteran), Clippers Leonard + George + Harden + Westbrook, Bucks Antetokounmpo + Lillard + Middleton + Da Lopez. Many fans don't know that Da Lopez has been selected for the All-Star team, and he is also a two-time winner of the All-Defensive Team. 17 points of upset fiasco! 19 points of upset fiasco! The strongest four giants in the league, at this level, how can they win the championship.
There are many strong teams in the Western Conference for the championship, such as the Nuggets, Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Mavericks, etc.; The super big team in the Eastern Conference is more powerful than the Green Army, the Bucks and the 76ers. Before the start of the regular season, the American media ESPN and the American media BR selected the strongest lineup for the new season, with the Bucks, Green Army and Nuggets ranked in the strongest first pot, and the Suns, Warriors, Lakers, Clippers and 76ers ranked in the second pot. The Bucks traded back the strongest scoring king Lillard, and many NBA expert reporters are unanimously optimistic about the Bucks' championship prospects. After all, both Antetokounmpo and Lillard averaged 30+ points per game last season, the first pair in NBA history to average 30+ per game.
Last season, Lillard averaged 32.2 points + 4.8 rebounds + 7.4 assists per game, 71 points + 6 rebounds + 6 assists in a single game, and 60 points + 7 rebounds + 8 assists in a single game. Such a slashing king, teaming up with the strongest interior superstar Brother Alphabet, their duo is playing blocking and dismantling, who can prevent it? In fact, the Bucks are super giant, the opening results are not ideal, 2 wins and 2 losses, the Bucks recently lost to Eastern teams one after another, the state is sluggish, playing the Hawks, the Bucks upset and losing by 17 points; Playing the Raptors, the Bucks suffered another upset defeat by 19 points. said that the Bucks want to dominate the Eastern Conference, how can they not even win against the Hawks and Raptors, the strongest four giants in the league, at this level, how can they win the championship?
Lillard joined the Bucks and averaged only 21.3 points + 4.8 rebounds + 4.8 assists per game, shooting 40.0% from the field and 29.0% from three-point range. Compared to the Trail Blazers, Lillard's scoring average has dropped by 11 points per game, assists per game, and shooting percentage have plummeted. Lillard shot 2 of 11 in a single game and 3 of 9 in a single game, and Lillard was a little afraid to shoot because of his poor shooting touch (in fact, when Brother Alphabet and Middleton were not in good shape, Lillard was most needed to shoot crazy points). Both Lillard and Antetokounmpo said that we started the game a little slowly, and we are still getting to know each other, and we will improve in the future.
American media NBA experts wrote an article to analyze, at present, Brother Alphabet + Lillard has not formed a tacit cooperation, there is no perfect continuity, and there is no good chemical effect, Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin coaching level is average, he did not give full play to the advantages of Brother Alphabet and Lillard duo. Conversely, after the Bucks lost the likes of Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen, their defensive problems were infinitely magnified. According to NBA statistics, the Bucks' defensive efficiency in the new season is 119.1 (second to last in the league). Last season, the Bucks ranked fourth in the league in defensive efficiency. The Bucks lost Jrue Holiday and the outside defense was too hurtful.
Brother Alphabet + Lillard + Middleton + Da Lopez, the Bucks, the strongest team in the league, is very expensive, after the Bucks traded Lillard, the total salary was $180 million, rising to the third in the league, second only to the Clippers and the Warriors, and the Bucks need to pay $80 million in luxury tax for the new season, which is also the third in the league, second only to the Warriors and Clippers. The Bucks owners are not as rich as the Clippers owners and Warriors owners, and Milwaukee is only a small ball market, and the speed of making money is far less than that of Los Angeles and Golden State. If Antetokounmpo and Lillard join forces, they won't be able to win the championship in the next 2-3 years, and the Bucks' trade will overdraft the future and lock in the future. Do you think Brother Alphabet and Lillard can lead the team to win the championship?
