Lillard leads the Bucks to a winning streak: The rise or a flash in the pan?The Bucks won the NBA championship under Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Holiday but then failed to extend their success. In an effort to revive its former glory, the team made a blockbuster trade this summer, sending away Holiday and bringing in Lillard. However, Lillard's performance after joining the Bucks did not meet expectations, which raised questions from the outside world. However, in recent games, Lillard has rediscovered his form and shown what the league is capable of killing. In one game, the Bucks defeated the Spurs, who are at the bottom of the West, and Lillard led the team to build a lead, eventually scoring a game-high 40 points and winning five in a row.
Lillard ranks eighth among active NBA players and is just six points shy of adding more than 20,000 points before the game against the Spurs. In the milestone battle of his career, Lillard was on fire, scoring 30+ points in three consecutive games, totaling 112 points, and his offensive performance was amazing. After Lillard carried the team's offensive banner, Brother Alphabet played with peace of mind, and his assist statistics easily reached a triple-double. His interior offense creates openings, provides opportunities for Lillard's outside shots, and makes his assists easier.
Lillard and Antetokounmpo played their part, and the Bucks' role players also played well, with Middleton hitting three three-pointers from beyond the arc to score 17 points, Lopez Da Lopez also scored 14 points, and Portis, who came off the bench, became the second team's leading scorer, chipped in a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. The future of the Bucks depends on the dominance of key players, and trading for Lillard is all about making him a sharp edge on the offensive end of the line, leading the team to victory in crunch time. Judging by Lillard's performances in the last three games, he has gradually found his form. If that form can be carried over into the playoffs, then the Bucks have what it takes to compete with any strong team.
Lillard's strong performance has brought the Bucks a winning streak, and at the same time, it has also brought infinite anticipation to fans. Will he be able to sustain that form and lead the Bucks back to the top?What are your thoughts on the future of the Bucks?We look forward to hearing from you and sharing your views!
