The Bucks lost to the Suns 106 114, and the alphabet brother 34 10 did not perform enough, and the consecutive losses exposed the problem!
On February 7 of this year, the Bucks will face the Phoenix Suns, a team of star players who have shown an unusual negative attitude. Although their main players played well, with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, it was still difficult to get a win, and in the end the Bucks lost 112-101 to the Suns, suffering two defeats. The Bucks' losing streak also tells us three things!
1.Rivers' performance is just too average, and his coaching is just too poor. The Bucks signed Rivers to a one-year and multi-year contract shortly after they parted ways with Griffin, which also led to a lot of interest in the nature of the player. Although Rivers is very sociable and plays well with many star players, his management skills have been greatly questioned. He has led teams to 3-1 losses on several occasions throughout his career, and his adaptation to the Bucks doesn't look so easy. Even though the team has three All-Stars, one is Antetokounmpo, one is Lillard, and one is Middleton, the Bucks are still playing very hard. Losing to the Bucks in the last round, the Bucks are facing the same problem this round, and Rivers has won only four of the five league games coached.
2) In the Bucks' opinion, Antetokounmpo is still their most trusted person, and he is the most influential both offensively and defensively. In the match against the Suns, Brother Alphabet once again scored a super high score of 34+10, but this did not allow his team to win. There have been rumours before that the boss's mental state has been affected, and there are rumors that he is leaving the team. And this defeat is undoubtedly a huge blow to him, this season, he failed to win the championship, then Brother Alphabet is likely to leave the Bucks!
3- The Bucks are almost impossible to be champions, and although they are at the top of the East this season, they have an obvious problem. After last season, the Lakers traded Lillard for Holiday and the team's backline saw a big drop. Although Holiday is not as good as Lillard on the offensive end, his performance on the defensive end is completely different from Lillard's. The Bucks' defensive performance this season has dropped to 19th in the league, a result that is nothing for a team that has won a championship. Now, the Bucks are missing a good defender against the three giants. While the Bucks have done a good job of attacking this season, their defense has seriously affected their prospects this season.
After this loss, the Bucks have dropped to 33-18 and are in third place in the Eastern Conference. The successive defeats, Lillard's injury, Middleton's injury, have put the whole team into a slump, and since Rivers took over, the team has been struggling, only his brother is still there, and the rest of the team is also adjusting to the new environment, which also makes the Bucks' replacement meaningless. Can the next step get the team back on the right track? We'll see!
