Hawks vs Bucks! Remnant battle showdown! The main bucks all broke out to get match points!

The Milwaukee Bucks could have won three games in a row and returned to their home court, Fiserv Forum Arena, with a 3-1 lead to play the fifth game. However, the careless start of Game 4 cost them. With "brother shrug" suffering from an ankle injury, the third seed in the Eastern Conference did not show the attitude that it should have in the conference finals. So that the Hawks still played smoothly without the top star.

The Eagles made adjustments very quickly after G3. First of all, they came up with better retreat strength and more targeted deployment, which well restrained the Bucks’ counterattack efficiency. At the end of the game, the Bucks only scored 9 points in fast break points, nearly 5 points lower than their average fast break points per game in the playoffs.

In the positional battle, the connection between Antetokounmpo and Holiday has never been played out. The excellent defense of the Eagles did not allow Antetokounmpo to get any good chances to catch the ball. Of course, in addition to defending Antetokounmpo, the other players of the Eagles also received very little, which did not give the Bucks enough room to breakthrough.

In addition, the Bucks themselves are also poor at mid-and long-range shooting-as a regular-season team ranked fourth in the league in three-point field goal percentage, in the playoffs, their three-point field goal percentage dropped sharply. It fell from 38.4% to 30.6%, only ranked third from the bottom of the sixteen teams in the playoffs. In Game 4, their three-pointers did not start. Throughout the game, the Bucks made a total of 39 outside shots but only made 8 three-pointers. The shooting percentage was only 20.5%, which was three points higher than his opponent. The score was nearly 15 points short.

In terms of control errors, the Bucks also did a very poor job. They allowed their opponents to steal 11 times, and at the same time they also sent out 15 turnovers. In the use of turnover points and fast breakpoints, the Hawks scored 12 points and 5 points more than them. It can be said that the Eagles in this game played exactly what the Bucks should play.

Antetokounmpo's injury in the third quarter also gave them a heavy blow. As the absolute core of the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's role on the offensive end cannot be replaced by others. The pick-and-roll between him and Holiday was also the fastest way for the Bucks to score points in a positional battle. On the defensive end, Antetokounmpo's help can really relieve the defensive pressure of the Bucks. At the same time, the five small lineups with Antetokounmpo as the center is also an absolute killer move for the Bucks.

However, the Bucks, who were forced to the edge of the cliff, played a hearty game on their home court. I think Budenholzer himself should have felt that if this game can't be won, according to Antetokounmpo's injury, the probability of this series will be cold. If he can't make it to the finals this time, his position as head coach is probably not preserved. Now that there are so many head coaches on the market who are looking for jobs, there is no need to worry about no one replacing him...

So, coach Budenholzer finally showed his level. He didn't make a long rotation like some games. But this time, it is obvious that Coach Budenholzer is going to spend the starting line to the death, that is, to allow the best players on the team to play the most time. Therefore, except for Connaughton's 21 minutes and Forbes's 13 minutes, the other players' playing time is basically around 40 minutes. It is really hard to see him so determined in the past.

Da Luo gained more tactical status in this game. In previous games in the series, Daluo's offensive weight has always been very low, just standing on the outside to open up space. If the ball is given to him, he will shoot one on the three-point line. A good shot may change the opponent's defense. If a bad shot is made, the big man on the opposite side will let him go without mercy.

But in this game, Budenholzer gave Da Luo more tactical space. In this game, he and Hollodi’s pick-and-rolls increased, coupled with the Bucks’ space constraints on the outside, Da Luo Gets a lot of chances to slam dunk, this is a situation that many people did not expect.

Daluo's height advantage is still too obvious. At the same time, his solid inside basic skills also played a role in this game. The Eagles can't fix him with ordinary matchups. After the game, Lopez played 14 for 18 in 38 minutes and got a career-high 33 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks in the playoffs. His 77.8% shooting rate also made him the third-highest player in the history of the Bucks with a 30+ shooting rate.

Zhu Holiday also played an important role in this game. When Antetokounmpo was able to play, Holiday’s ball-holding ratio was always low, but in this game, Budenholzer made it clear that Holiday’s team’s offensive system is dominated by Holiday. He also unreservedly demonstrated his ability, 25 points and 13 assists are the best explanation.

In the end, the Bucks took the Tianwangshan 123-112 and took the lead with a total score of 3-2. If Yang Shaoxia can't return in the sixth game, then the Bucks obviously have the absolute initiative in the series, mainly they can win the damn sixth game, then even if the Bucks have a breakthrough this season, Budenho Erze's head coach position will not be taken away.
