Not only did he excel in scoring and rebounding, but he also made six blocks, surpassing Da Luo to become the No. 1 man on the block list this season.

And in the other game, the Bucks coached by Rivers Sr. suffered a two-game losing streak. They lost to the Nuggets and then to the Trail Blazers. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the team to think about how to adjust their tactics and team form for the upcoming games. In the Bucks' game, Lillard's performance was not ideal. He shot just 9-of-23 from the field and 3-of-13 from three-point range. It was the 23rd time in his career that he had at least 10 three-point hits in a game, the third-most all-time. It has also raised concerns about how he feels, and whether he can find his form in the next games and bring more help to the team. In this article, we will retell these two games, but we will not repeat any sentence from the original text.
We can grab the reader's attention by asking questions, using plain language, adding more details and specifics. First, let's take a look at Wemban's performance in the Magic vs. Spurs game. He showed dominance in this game, not only scoring and rebounding, but also delivering six blocks for his team. This begs the question, is Wemban one of the best defensive players in the league? Meanwhile, the Bucks have suffered a losing streak in their last two games, losing to the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers. This begs the question of whether Rivers Sr. needs to adjust his tactics and team form for the upcoming games. After all, two consecutive defeats are a wake-up call for a strong team.
In the Bucks' game, Lillard's performance was not ideal. He doesn't shoot well from the field, especially from three-point range. This begs the question, can Lillard find his touch in the next games and bring more help to the team? Lillard's three-point shot has always been one of his scoring tools. However, his three-point shooting percentage in this game was not ideal. In fact, it was the 23rd time in his career that he had at least 10 three-point hits in a game, the third-highest all-time. This begs the question, does Lillard need to adjust his shooting style in the face of tight defense? Overall, Wemban showed a great performance against the Spurs against the Magic, while the Bucks suffered a losing streak.
Lillard's poor three-point shooting has also raised eyebrows. This makes us look forward to the next games and see if these teams and players can achieve better results after the adjustments.
