On February 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, because today is the last day of the All-Star Game, so many teams also want to win to meet the All-Star Weekend, the Bucks with a bad recent record visited Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies, today the Grizzlies are all absent on their core, facing such a Grizzlies thought that the Bucks could easily defeat the opponent, but the team finally lost to the opponent 110-113.
After all, the opponent's remnants are too bad, none of their starting five tigers this time is even the team's starters last season, and the names of many players, it is estimated that many old fans have not heard of it, it is such a lineup, defeating the Bucks led by Lillard and Brother Alphabet, and such a loss also made the Bucks rush to the hot search on Twitter, there is no doubt that their performance is indeed a big surprise.
We won't say much about the process of the game, this game is like Brother Alphabet against the Grizzlies team, others did not give the letter due help at all, even including Lillard, Lillard shot 7 of 21 in this game, 4 of 13 three-pointers only got 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
In the 24 years since entering the year, Lillard has made a total of 172 three-point shots of 50, with a shooting rate of only 29%, you must know that Brother Alphabet's three-point shooting rate is 30%, maybe the two of them are really not suitable to play together, Brother Alphabet tried his best, he shot 15 of 17 from the field, and scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists, but the opponent scored 6 double-doubles: Vince Williams 18 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, Zayle 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, Goodwin 11 points and 7 rebounds, Jamieson 10 points, Jackson II had 27 points and one rebound.
It's really hard to accept a defeat like this, and today he talked about the defeat in a post-match interview, saying: "I want the team to play with more urgency, I'm frustrated with the situation we are in and I think everyone including myself should go and get better. "The Bucks have lost seven of their last 10 games, and anyone can be frustrated.
And it is worth mentioning that Rivers has coached exactly 10 games, before his arrival, the Bucks had a total of 22 wins and 14 losses, and the record was very good, but after he coached, the team has 3 wins and 7 losses in the past 10 games, and the team has no Rivers problem when it plays like this, everyone knows it, and there is also a data that the Bucks have ranked first in the league in net efficiency at critical moments since January 29, and since Lao Li coached, they have ranked first in the league in net efficiency at critical moments!
This is indeed a bit embarrassing, worthy of being the king of the league being reversed, Lao Li's on-the-spot adaptability on the court is indeed very average, when he was beaten by the Grizzlies, although he called a timeout, but it didn't seem to have any effect, O'Neal also commented on this after the game: If the Bucks continue to play like this, then they will be swept out of the first round of the playoffs. Indeed, with the current state of the Bucks, it is impossible to get a good result.
However, Rivers does not think that the reason for the loss is him, he talked about the team's loss in an interview after the game, Rivers said: "We don't work hard enough, we have some players on the court, some players have started vacation", he is dissatisfied with the players' efforts, thinking that the players are waiting for the All-Star Weekend, the key is that the overall performance of the team in the past 10 games is not good, is it that the players began to think about vacations in February?
Grizzlies player Jackson II was asked in a post-game interview how he managed to bite the game and win, "It's thanks to Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks", and I don't know whether to call him honest or emotionally invasive.
Although the loss, but fortunately, the competition in the East is far less fierce than in the West, if it is a strong team in the West that has lost 7 of the past 10 games, he may now have fallen seriously in the rankings, the Bucks are still in the third place in the East after the loss, but the consecutive losses have also widened the gap between them and the top two in the division, and the team is now 8.5 wins behind the Green Army, and the Knicks, who are now fourth, are only 1.5 wins behind them.
After the All-Star Weekend, the Bucks will welcome Gallinari, when the thickness of their roster will be improved, of course, if the team still can't change the problem of no chemistry on the offensive end and lack of enthusiasm on the defensive end, then it will still be difficult for them to chase the record, this season's Bucks want to compete for the championship, but judging from what the team has shown now, it is almost impossible to win the championship!
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Bucks and Grizzlies?
