Under the pressure of Brother Alphabet, the Milwaukee Bucks who traded Holiday to Lillard, although they ranked second in the East in the new season, but the overall performance was not good, especially after entering the New Year, they only achieved a record of 1 win and 3 losses in four games, defeating the Spurs at the bottom of the West, and in the two losses to the Pacers and the loss to the back-to-back remnant Rockets, Lillard was blown up and became the culprit of the loss, The Jazz team rained three-pointers in the first quarter, 11 three-pointers in a single quarter, directly stunned the Bucks, and the Jazz, who led by up to 33 points, also withstood the opponent's crazy counterattack and bloodied the Bucks 132-116, the latter lost 4 games in 5 games in the New Year!
The Jazz are all soldiers, and they shoot the Bucks in three rains
The Jazz, who are fourth from the bottom in the West, are certainly not comparable to the Bucks led by Brother Alphabet in terms of the individual strength of the star, so if they want to win, they must play a more fluid overall offense, and after the game starts, they are also firmly implementing the concept of team basketball, in the case of the Bucks team with Brother Alphabet in charge, by constantly passing the ball, looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and Dunn, who debuted, single-handedly revitalized the overall offense of the whole team and sent 13 assists in the game。
Under his combing, the Jazz directly played a three-point shot in Milwaukee, and they hit 16 three-pointers in the first half, although the three-point hand in the second half was not as hot as before, but the whole game also hit 20 of the 44 shots on the outside, and finally relied on the overall performance of the team's 6 players to score double-doubles, and defeated the Bucks away from home when they were not favored at all before the game.
The overall defense was gone, and Brother Alphabet was disheartened
In the first two quarters, the Jazz team, which was not strong, was beaten on the court, which directly made the Bucks home fans turn against them, and sent a deafening boo to the players of the home team, after the pressure of the fans, the Bucks woke up like a dream in the third quarter, winning by 19 points in a single quarter, and re-saw the hope of a reversal, but a wave of 8-0 from the Jazz in the final quarter instantly extinguished the hope of the Bucks.
In Lillard's absence, Brother Alphabet should have carried the team's offensive banner, but the offensive efficiency of Brother Alphabet in this game was not high, and he only shot 10 of 20 in the face of the Jazz, who was not strong inside, although he also contributed 25 points. 10 rebounds and 11 assists of triple-double data, but unable to lead the team to avoid consecutive defeats, through this game, it can be clearly seen that the biggest gap between the Bucks and last season is the cliff-like decline in the defensive level, which is directly related to the team's release of Holiday to sign Lillard, which is also the reason why many fans said that the decline in the team's comprehensive combat effectiveness made Brother Alphabet frustrated.
After losing to the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the West, the Bucks swallowed a wave of two consecutive defeats, and in the next round they will usher in a battle with the Celtics, the first in the East, with their current performance, it is difficult for fans to be optimistic about their prospects of winning, so the Bucks may not escape the fate of three consecutive defeats!
