Bucks and Spurs, of the same denomination, as Popovich's perhaps most proud and representative disciple, Boucher has long since achieved great success in the league, and the Spurs are now in a period of reconstruction and have entered a new era. On October 31, 2021, Beijing time, the Bucks lost to the Spurs 93-102, and Brother Alphabet scored 28 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
This game is also the last meeting between the two sides this season, the first game the Bucks defeated the Spurs, and this game may have to complete the sweep of the Spurs of the season. Against his eldest disciple, Popovich seems to be the same as before, the opening Bucks only scored 4 consecutive points, less than 2 minutes, Bobo called a timeout, this Bobo style is really too iconic.
The Spurs used a similar approach to James to restrict the alphabet brother, which was very effective. At one point, the alphabet brother missed 4 consecutive outside shots, 3 missed free throws, and the Spurs once pressed the rhythm of the Bucks. But the deterrent power of the alphabet brother on the inside line is still very large, several strong attacks on the inside line in the second quarter, the two sides are evenly divided, Popovich's tactics are very targeted, and the bucks side of the alphabet brother can only be regarded as half of the deterrent.
After the start of the second half, the Bucks increased their own attack and protection of the inside line, and launched a battle with the Spurs near the free throw line, the alphabet brother obviously still did not adapt to the Spurs' tactics, but the bucks' outside line began to enter the state, and the inside line strengthened the defense, improved the efficiency of counterattack, the third quarter of the alphabet brother played in general, the Bucks still slowly controlled the rhythm of the game. However, in the second half of the third quarter, the alphabet brother was pressed on the bench for fouls, and the Spurs overtook the Bucks again in the second half.
Alphabet tried a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, because the previous three quarters were suppressed too hard, causing him to put the cart before the horse, hoping to find a feel on the outside. Alphabet brother do not superstitious about his own feel, but to believe in his own internal ability, two consecutive inside layups and dunks, so that the alphabet brother led the team to chase the score. In the last 3 minutes, a key 2+1 of the alphabet brother chased 2 points, and Murray returned the favor to the opponent and still led the Bucks. In the last 3 rounds, the alphabet brother's attack and defense were overlooked, and finally the Spurs defeated the Bucks on the road, and Bobo Laozi refused to be swept by the disciples, and also limited the alphabet brother with superb area defense.
