NBA playoffs East Finals finals finals finally started, waiting for the Bucks at home to usher in the Bucks through the seven major battles to advance, because the Bucks are the third team in the East this season, but also eliminated the championship number one popular Nets, and the Eagles regular season performance is average, the playoffs are also stumbling into the East Finals, so the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bucks of alphabet brother and Holliday.
The progress of the first half was basically in line with the expectations of the outside world, the Bucks took the lead in the first quarter to enter the state, and Trae Young's long-range shots were all iron, and the Bucks once opened the point difference 17-7. Although Trae Young blossomed inside and pulled back the deficit through mid-range shooting, the Bucks held the lead in the first half. However, in the second half, as Trae Young's outside feel recovered, the Bucks were suddenly overtaken by the score, and by the end of the third quarter, they were even overtaken by the Hawks by 8 points. Fortunately, the Bucks stopped the bleeding in time, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war in the last quarter, and in the last 5 minutes, the Bucks had a small orgasm of 9-0, which once gave them a 7-point advantage. But then their offense stalled, and the Hawks blossomed inside and out, pulling back the deficit with Trae Young's 2+1 and Collins' three-pointer. In the final 30 seconds, Capela made a layup, the Bucks missed the key three points, Trae Young made four free throws, and finally the Hawks narrowly won the opponent, leading the Bucks 1-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Trae Young, who scored a game-high 48 points, reaped another wave of records, and 48 points was a new playoff scoring record, scoring 25+ in three playoff halftimes, making him the first person in The Eagles' history in nearly 25 years. Scoring 30+ for the seventh time in the playoffs, he was on par with James and Stoudemire, becoming the third player in history to have such a statistic at the age of 22 and under. He is also the first player in NBA history to make a playoff debut and score 30+ on the road six times. On Young's first playoff trip, he has blasted down 397 points, setting a new team-history single-playoff scoring record, previously held by Dominique Wilkins (374) in 1987-88. In the third quarter, when Trey Young felt the hottest, even old Zhan tweeted: Calm down big brother!
In fact, Trae Young in the game is not completely incomprehensible, his outside line dud in the opening stage, and the final stage of the outside shots are all deflected, it can also be seen that he is not strong enough to control the game at the most critical moments, on his own. If it were not for the Hawks inside Collins and Capela desperately grabbing the rebound in front of the court and saving the team's second offensive opportunity, the Hawks could not have won in the final stages.
In contrast, the Bucks' problems are even more serious because they failed to play to their strengths in key moments. The most admirable player on this team is, of course, the number one star, Brother Alphabet. With the help of Brother Alphabet's strong body, agile explosion, and good projection skills, coupled with Holliday's involvement, several blocks between the two, the Eagles on the offensive end have no ability to fight back. Whether it's an empty connection after blocking or a high jumper on the spot, the Eagles' interior line is a bit helpless.
It is this tried-and-true offensive routine that not only allows the Bucks to re-overtake the score and pull away the point difference for a while, but also allows them to repeatedly score points in the confrontation with their opponents and maintain their oppressive force. But I don't know why, at the last minute, the Bucks' most robust scoring means are gone, the alphabet brother and Holliday's blocking completely disappeared, leaving only a wide range of running passes after finding empty shots, or a few Bucks players singles, the result is that they were overtaken by the opponent in the last minute.
In fact, after the alphabet brother "stepped on" Owen, he suffered a lot of accusations from the outside world, whether it was deliberate or really unintentional, he needed to come up with a more excellent performance to respond to the fans' doubts. Judging from the performance of this game, not only can they not maintain continuity on the offensive end, but also the defense is not stable enough, and although the alphabet brother scored 34 points, it was far less than Trae Young's 48 points. If the lesson cannot be learned, the bucks really have the possibility of killing the eagle with a few stunned fists.
