The eagle is locked up
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, this game Murray shot 7 of 18 from the field, 3 of 10 three-pointers got 20 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, since the last crazy shot 44 times to score 44 points, I think the Hawks team is not Trae Young likes to rely on crazy shots to pile up points, but because Snyder teaches the core like this, now Trae Young is injured, Murray has unlimited firing rights to shoot wildly, and the same is true of Mitchell during the Jazz period.
However, in this game, Murray was strangled by the Bucks defense, reducing his individual shots and forcing him to pass. Hunter, who has played well in the past two games, was also very inefficient this time, with 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting, 2-of-5 three-pointers and 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and Capela only got 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
Bogdan scored 38 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists on 12-of-23 shooting in this game, but he is just a blue-collar player, and he can't beat the Bucks with his firepower. Recently, Jalen Johnson and Trae Young have been injured, the Hawks' defense is indeed stronger, but the lack of offensive points is also very obvious, this season the Hawks are likely to still not be able to achieve the desired results, I don't know if the Hawks will break up their current lineup after this season, I think it is very likely.
Lillard was not fully activated
Lillard's absence in this game made everyone see a different Bucks, today Beverley entered the starter, he replaced the previous role of Holiday before, mainly responsible for outside defense, as a result, Da Luo can also rest assured that the interior line, and the team's defensive system is also back, not only that, but their offense is also better, it has been the double reed of Brother Alphabet and Lillard before, and today it is more flowering.
Middleton, who has struggled in the past two games, played exceptionally efficiently today, shooting 9 of 10 from the field, 3 of 3 from three-point range with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, Beverley scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 5 of 8 shooting, Portis came off the bench with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 6 of 10 shots, Da Luo scored 13 points, Beasley scored 10 points, and Brother Alphabet scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block of dominating data, and the performance was very good.
Previously, when Lillard was there, the ball was mainly in the hands of him and Brother Alphabet, and the two did not have a good chemistry, which made the team's offense intermittent, and now Lillard is absent, and the rest of the team got the ball and played a good team basketball.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these players?
