Grizzlies are all soldiers
Facing the Bucks with two All-Star starters, I thought the Grizzlies would be vulnerable, but they used their toughness and impact to put pressure on the Bucks, and they once again played their all-hands style, although only 9 people on the team can play, but each player will play their own toughness and characteristics, Vince Williams scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in this game.
Zayle Williams got 28 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, and the team's multiple core injuries are a good opportunity for Zayle, he should seize this time period to prove himself, Suns veteran Goodwin also played very well in this game, he scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and substituted Jackson II as a wonder soldier, he scored 27 points and 1 rebound on 10-of-17 shooting.
It can be said that after the Grizzlies were injured in a number of cores, Vince Williams and Jackson II seized the opportunity to play their worth, and now Jackson II is playing extremely confident and showing good improvisation, except for this game, in the past 5 games, he scored 20 points and 9 rebounds, 16 points and 2 assists, 27 points and 9 rebounds, 16 points and 5 rebounds, 18 points and 7 rebounds, and he is the No. 15 pick in the second round in 23.
Lao Li is not as good as Griffin?
Before this game, Rivers coached the Bucks with a total of 3 wins and 6 losses, and the performance can be said to have completely failed to meet expectations, and even said that it was not as good as Griffin's coaching.
In this game, the alphabet scored 35 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists on 15-of-17 shooting, Lillard scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists on 7-of-20 shooting, except for the two, Da Luo got 14 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, Portis scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Bucks recently gave Lao Li a 3.5-year 40 million big contract, as far as it is now, maybe Lao Li can't wait for the offseason, he may be laid off, the team was still second in the East before, after he led the team, and now it has fallen to third in the East, the key is that the team loses more and wins less, and it is difficult for the team to play a decent counterattack in the face of falling behind, and the ability to adjust on the spot is very poor, which is too similar to Lao Li's style.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Bucks and Grizzlies?
