The Bucks' 104-91 win over the Celtics was not a perfect game for the Bucks as a team. It's not that I won, but I have to be sad. It's Antetokounmpo, the core of the team, who suffered a non-confrontational injury, and the most serious thing is probably the season reimbursement. When the clock ticked 3:37 in the third quarter, Brother Alphabet ran to the front court and suddenly fell to the ground. Note that this was a non-confrontational injury, and the team doctor immediately went on the field to check and helped Brother Alphabet up.
When it comes to the good news for the bucks, although Brother Alphabet is injured, he is able to walk alone. After returning to the locker room, he never came back. Soon after, the Milwaukee Bucks officially reported that the initial examination of Brother Alphabet was a muscle strain in his left calf. But then there were American medical sports experts who interpreted Brother Alphabet's injury.
Although it sounds like a muscle strain on the left calf is not serious, in fact the strain is graded. It is roughly divided into: one, two, and three levels. The first strain is the lightest, about 10 days and half a month of rest, the second strain, you need to recuperate for half a month to a month, and the third strain may lead to season reimbursement. However, the specific situation has not yet been determined.
According to Bucks coach Doc Rivers, Brother Alphabet will undergo an MRI, which will determine the final health of Brother Alphabet.
Speaking after the game, Lillard spoke about his injury, saying, "Anytime you see a teammate go down, you're really worried. We spend more time with each other than we spend with our families. I think that's the most important thing. He's the most important part of the team as the best player, especially at this time of the season. ”
Prior to this game, the Bucks faced the Celtics in four games, all of which ended in defeat. Offensively, the Bucks averaged 108.5 points in those four games, while the Green Army could score 116.8 points. Rivers Sr. made a change of formation in this game, allowing Beverley to start the game instead of Beasley, and the strategy was good.
Beverley finally lived up to Lao Li's expectations, playing 26 minutes and 9 seconds and contributing 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists on 8-of-13 shooting (4-of-8 three-pointers), with a plus/minus of +12. Helped the team and eventually won 104-91 against the Celtics.
However, Lao Li Tou, I still have to think about how the team will prepare for the playoffs in the absence of Brother Alphabet. As the absolute core of the team, he averaged 30.7 points, 11.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game this season. You must know that Lillard needs to make up half of the 30-point firepower hole, and the remaining players need to make up the other half, which tests Lao Litou's coaching ability.
So far this season, the Bucks have a 3-3 record in the 6 games that Antetokounmpo has missed.
However, Lao Li Tou has confidence, he said: "I have not lost any faith. We're struggling right now. But I think once we get to the playoffs, this team really believes [we can turn things around], but I hope we find our form before the playoffs." It's a shame we don't have it yet. ”
The Bucks have no way back now, and the worst thing that happened when Brother Alphabet was injured has happened now. With only three games to go until the end of the regular season, the Bucks were eliminated in the first round by the Heat last year. In the absence of Brother Alphabet this time, will it repeat the mistakes of last year?
