After the first round of the NBA Eastern Playoffs this season, there is a possibility of the following series in multiple rounds, the Philadelphia 76ers who welcomed back Embiid are higher than the second Knicks in the East who are reimbursed by the core Randle season, and the Pacers who advanced to the playoffs in the sixth place in the East, although they met the third-ranked Bucks, but they successfully cut the deer four times in the regular season, plus the alphabet brother is in the recovery period, so that the probability of the Pacers getting down the gram is also very large, the first three playoff games, the Pacers have achieved a big 2-1 lead, and the fate is in their own hands, and before the two sides G4 startsAccording to the NBA Fame Shams, Lillard, who was injured in the last quarter of the last game, has an aggravated Achilles tendon injury, and the Bucks will most likely face the absence of both Brother Alphabet and Lillard in the fourth game, which also makes the probability of the Pacers getting the match point at home very large, and only the Bucks that Middleton can rely on, the defeat has become the consensus of many fans!
Lillard and Antetokounmpo are out, and the Bucks are missing their tactical core
Lillard, who joined the Milwaukee Bucks this season, did not satisfy fans in the regular season, he has become the team's biggest shortcoming on the defensive end, and the offensive end has completely become a nerve knife, but after the start of the playoffs, Lillard carried the team's offensive banner in the absence of Brother Alphabet, and the shooting rate in the first two games exceeded 45% , scored 35 and 34 points respectively, led the team to a tie with the Pacers, and although the offensive efficiency declined in the third game, Lillard still relied on the huge containment on the offensive end, created a lot of good opportunities for his teammates, and relied on 12 free throws, contributing 28 points and 8 assists.
If in the fourth game, Brother Alphabet and Lillard both missed, the Bucks will lose the tactical core, Middleton, who ran rampant in the last game, did not become the temperament and ability of the team's leader and tactical core, and the containment on the offensive end is far less than that of Brother Alphabet and Lillard, which is also the reason why fans think that the Bucks' fourth defeat is a certainty.
The Pacers are well-staffed, and there is no room for loss in home game points
Compared with the Bucks, who have been injured one after another, the Pacers are fully staffed, and they have also found a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, that is, to seize the opportunity of the absence of Brother Alphabet and the lack of the Bucks inside, and do their best to impact the interior, Siakam and Turner have had good individual performances in the past three games, which is enough to prove the correctness of this tactical play.
Now that the Bucks lost Lillard in Game 4, the Pacers' outside defensive pressure has been drastically reduced, allowing them to focus more on the interior offensive and defensive battles, so they must seize the opportunity to defend their home court and get the series point in the series.
As long as the Pacers grasp the opportunity and win the Pacers at home in the fourth game, the probability of them eliminating the Bucks will become very large, even if Brother Alphabet and Lillard both return with full blood, it is not easy to win the Pacers three games in a row, after all, in the regular season, in the face of the well-staffed Bucks, the Pacers will not fall behind at all, and holding a 3-1 lead in the playoffs will make a huge difference in the momentum and self-confidence of the two teams, so that the balance of victory will fall in favor of the Pacers!
