21 three-pointers were a big upset! The favorite to win the championship narrowly won by only 6 points! The alphabet exploded with 76 points and 20 assists
On January 21, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Bucks challenged the Pistons away. thought it would be a matchup without suspense, but the Pistons showed a good state this time, even if they were pulled away by the Bucks, they still quickly caught up with the score, and hit the outside one after another, but unfortunately they failed to withstand it at the critical moment in the final quarter. In the end, the Pistons lost 135-141 to the Bucks.
There are also two extremes in this game, that is, the Bucks starters directly beat the Pistons starters, but after changing to the second lineup, the Pistons bench players directly beat the Bucks bench, so the difference has not been able to be opened. The Pistons have been biting the score, and they also surprised the Bucks in a cold sweat, but fortunately, the Pistons lacked the blessing of stars in the last quarter, on the other hand, the Bucks had Lillard and Brother Alphabet, and the outstanding performance of the two also rejected the appearance of a big upset.
The Pistons played very well this time, hitting a whopping 21 three-pointers in the whole game, and the shooting rate was as high as 56.8%, and the score was even more accurate on two points. Burks, who was off the bench, played the best, scoring a team-high 33 points on 7-of-14 three-pointers, as well as 7 rebounds and 6 assists, with a plus/minus of +24. No. 5 pick Thompson had 22 points and 9 rebounds, Muscala scored 13 points on 4-of-4 three-pointers, and the bench players were all positive, while the starters were all negative, including Bogdanovic at -29.
The Bucks are the favorites to win the championship, but this time they almost fell off the chain, and the performance on the defensive end was really bad, so that the Pistons, who were at the bottom of the league, scored 135 points, and almost lost the game, and finally won by only 6 points, which is still a little unsatisfactory. The Bucks started the season poorly on the defensive end, and the second team became less of a threat, scoring a total of 18 points off the bench this time before being blown out by Burks alone. Fortunately, this time the alphabet played very well and helped the team win the game.
The combination of Antetokounmpo and Lillard gradually got into the groove, and this time they combined to score 76 points and 20 assists, showing the power of the two. Lillard was 12-of-22 from the field and 5-of-11 from three-point range, scoring a game-high 45 points, along with 11 assists and just one turnover. Brother Alphabet got a quasi-triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, but the free throws were not accurate this time, 11 of 22.
