Beijing time on February 11, the Suns reversed 16 points, 125-124 captured the Bucks. The Bucks, who thought they could relax most of them by crossing the Nuggets, were burned by the sun at the second stop, indicating that the Bucks' journey to the west will not go smoothly.
The degree of entanglement in this game is comparable to the playoffs. Under the leadership of Paul, the Suns are tenacious. After falling 16 points behind, with a more precise three-pointer, they shot through the Bucks in the fourth quarter. game. The Bucks can only swallow the defeat and feel the despair of the West.
In this game, the Suns performed extraordinary rebounds, scored 47, and showed off a rebound in front of the league's rebounding champion. At the same time, they suppressed the Bucks' rebounds to 39, which is higher than the Bucks' season average rebounds. (48.4) is much less. The Suns are more tenacious than the Bucks. In the face of such an impact of the sun, the Bucks lost a point, and it was really helpless.
In fact, when the third quarter ended and the Suns recovered the points difference, it already signaled the danger of the Bucks losing. Especially when the scores of the two sides are still tangled at the end of the fourth quarter, it is really difficult for the Bucks to win. Among the Bucks, the only one who can really cause damage is Giannis Antetokounmpo, and with Giannis Antetokounmpo's current outside shooting ability, it is difficult to make a contribution at a critical moment. For the Suns, there are two key kings, Booker and Paul.
Antetokounmpo made 15 of 23 shots and 7 of 8 shots in the fourth quarter. He scored 47 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. He was unstoppable on the court like a god. However, it was the only miss in the fourth quarter that completely ended the Bucks' efforts. It is undeniable that Antetokounmpo is indeed invincible, but before he develops his shooting ability, the Bucks really can't go further unless the Bucks have another all-star outside player who is stronger than Middleton.
At present, the Bucks this season has lost the dominance of last season, and even the Pelicans can lead the Bucks by more than 20 points. And as Lopez's athletic ability slowly declines, the Bucks' strength will definitely decline again. None of us can deny that if the Bucks maintain their current lineup, it will be difficult to break out of the East.
Next, the Bucks are going to face the Jazz and Thunder,Visually, Brother Alphabet will not be very comfortable in these two games. Gobert's defense is enough for Brother Antetokounmpo to drink a pot, and the Thunder just dragged the defending champion Lakers into overtime twice in a row, and the momentum is in full swing. However, as the MVP of last season, Antetokounmpo will always have a way to face these difficulties. We will wait and see what the specific situation is.
