The internal contradictions of the Eastern giants have intensified, and the second leader of the team demands James-style treatment!
At present, the NBA regular season of the 23-24 season has reached 1 3, and some championship teams have also begun to compete in the final competition, and their performance will affect the outcome of the whole season. Now, the situation in the West has become clearer, with the Timberwolves and Thunder battling it out for the top spot, while the Clippers and Nuggets are also firmly in the Final Four.
The Nuggets want to maximize their strength, and their goal is clear, they will stay in the third spot, not fight for the second and third spots. On the other hand, Clippers coach Taylor is constantly trying to put pressure on Harden, and with the permission of the small card, there have been some problems with the performance of these two players, so although the Clippers' results have declined, there is no big problem if they want to keep the fourth position.
Vicious Tongue believes that against the Suns, Warriors, and Lakers, they will have at least two teams competing for a playoff ticket. If there is no other option, then Durant, James, Curry, they will fight for a ticket in the playoffs, such an outcome is unimaginable for the league, and for the league, it is an immeasurable loss. In the East, the situation is more complicated, although the Celtics are ahead, but it is difficult for the teams behind to catch up, if the Cavaliers surpass the Bucks, the 76ers are likely to fall into the playoffs, so the situation in the East has been tense. Compared to the fierce battles on the court, the news off the NBA court is just as exciting!
In an exclusive interview with Sports Illustrated, Trail Blazers star Lillard expressed some frustration with joining a new team. First of all, regarding his relationship with Alphabet, Lillard said that although he knows him well, we won't be very good friends in three weeks. Although Lillard's meaning is already obvious, after being rendered by **, after letting Brother Alphabet read it, he will definitely feel unhappy, which must have some impact on the relationship between Lillard and Brother Alphabet. However, Lillard went on to give his opinion on his position and position with the Bucks, and Lillard's rhetoric was clearly tougher. "When James joined Miami, he knew exactly what kind of person he was, and he found out where he was with the Heat, but I didn't know where I was with the Bucks," Lillard said. Lillard said.
In the offseason, the Bucks traded Holiday and Grayson Allen for first-round picks and two first-round picks in exchange for the Bucks' scoring ability. However, since Lillard joined the Bucks, he hasn't played well. In seven games in the first week of the season, he shot just 40 percent from the field and a low 29 from three-point range3%, which is the main reason why he came to the Bucks. Although Lillard said his form declined mainly because he was leaving his kids. However, according to Secondspectrum, Lillard's exploitation of the Bucks has dropped to 28 during that time2%, a career low, while he averaged 9Nine steals and no 25th of the two.
In the end, Griffin was fired because he didn't have time to find Lillard. So the Bucks came to Rivers, with Harden and Embiid averaging 22 per game last seasonSix steals, which is the second-highest midfield average for two players. However, the Bucks lost back-to-back games after Rivers' arrival, but Lillard gradually got into shape in the game on Nov. 15, averaging 256 points, 3 points also have 364% of the three. Before the trade deadline, the Bucks made a big improvement on the defensive line of the guard, and the addition of Beverley also means that Rivers will strengthen his backline. That's how Lillard completed his offense.
At one time, Lillard was seen more as a great forward, but now he's shown his aggressiveness and has become a rising star for the Bucks under Beasley and Beverley. The two cooperated tacitly, actively grabbed the ball, and put unprecedented pressure on the opponent. With a total of 18 steals in the last seven games between Lillard and Beasley, Lillard's defensive efficiency is evident and he is a role model for the team. The Bucks are more aggressive defensively, not only suppressing opposing ball carriers on the court, but also blocking the opposition's passes. This kind of defense is a good spirit of cooperation, and it is a good spirit of cooperation. The Bucks have shown a high standard defensively, both defensively and teamwork, and the Bucks can cause a lot of problems for the opposing team.
It's incomprehensible that Lillard would say such a thing when the Bucks were victorious! This guy isn't just trying to rob the boss, right? Lillard did have a lot of controversy this season, such as the All-Star Game, when he went to compete with the junior for MVP as a senior, only to be booed. But it can be seen that Lillard is a man who values glory and status very seriously, and perhaps in the Bucks, he has made himself a hegemon! Obviously, Lu Han and his alphabet brother can't tolerate it, if Lillard doesn't adjust his condition, maybe it will cause a big ** in the locker room, and then he won't want to win the championship!
