In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Bucks lost to the Pacers 118-119 overtime, and were eliminated 1-4 in total. This game made people feel heart attacked! The Bucks were just one breath away from advancing, but in the end they had a "self-destructive" crash in the last 40 seconds. With 40 seconds left in overtime, the Bucks still led by 7 points, with the ball in hand, and the victory was almost put into their pockets. But who would have thought that Trent made three fatal mistakes in a row and released the cooked duck away.
First, the pass was cut off, and Nemhard raised his hand and made a three-pointer; then another casual cross pass, sending Halliburton 2+1; at the last moment, Trent made a third mistake and directly sent his opponent to a layup! 119-118, the Pacers completed a shocking reversal and eliminated the Bucks 4-1 with a big score.
Trent should have been a hero tonight. He scored 33 points and scored four three-pointers in overtime, almost carrying the team forward with his own strength. But this "success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He". The substitute with an annual salary of 2 million yuan had the opportunity to win the gods in one battle, but in 40 seconds it fell from heaven to hell, and took a roller coaster worth. Antetokounmpo was even more frustrated, scoring a 30-point, 20 rebounds and 13 assists, but he could only watch the team "fall out of the chain" at the last moment.
The Bucks are now full of crises. Their lineup potential is lacking. The first round picks in the next three years will be frozen. The head coach is known as the "pig head" in the industry, and his core partner is absent for a long time due to a torn Achilles tendon. When the reconstruction window and contract renewal both arrive in the offseason, the superstar is standing at another critical crossroads in his career.
View analysis: The
Bucks' collapse seemed to be caused by Trent's consecutive mistakes in the last moment, but in fact it exposed the team's deeper problems - the execution and psychological quality of the key ball. It is no accident that a team at the championship level was turned over while leading by 7 points and holding the ball. Rivers' on-the-spot adjustment was questioned again, and Antetokounmpo's sense of powerlessness in cutting a triple-double was further highlighted by the Bucks' lineup: lack of a stable second ball holding point and overly relying on star singles.
