Cavaliers vs. Bucks preview: Antetokounmpo is in a hot competitive state, and the Bucks are trying to win three consecutive games but encounter a bitter enemy.
6686 Sports, October 26th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow, and the Cavaliers will face the Bucks at home.
The Cavaliers made great progress in the regular season last season, achieving a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. However, in the playoffs, they stopped in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. During the offseason, the Cavaliers made targeted reinforcements and introduced Lonzo Ball, Nance Jr., Thomas Bryant and others, further improving the team's lineup depth. In the first game, the Cavaliers lost to the Knicks at home, but in the second game they defeated the Nets at the away court and ushered in their first win of the season.
Core Mitchell's competitive form is very good, scoring 31 points and 35 points respectively in the first two games, including a crazy performance of 21 points in a single quarter. With Garland, Strus and others temporarily unable to play, he shouldered the team's offense. Merrill made a total of 11 three-pointers in the first two games, averaging 20.5 points per game, and has a strong sense of ball control. The interior twin towers Mobley and Allen combined to score 30.5 points and 13.5 rebounds. New aid Nance Jr. also performed well, but Ball's competitive form was average. He only scored 5 points in the first two games and urgently needed to regain his competitive form.
The Bucks were eliminated by the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs last season. During the offseason, the Bucks' lineup changed. Lillard's contract was bought out and he left the team. They introduced Turner, the core of the Pacers' inside line, and renewed the contracts of Trent, Porter Jr. and many other players. In the first two games of the season, the Bucks showed a very good competitive state, defeating the Wizards and Raptors respectively and achieving two consecutive victories.
Antetokounmpo was in an invincible state in the first two games. He scored 37 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists against the Wizards. He also scored 31 points, 20 rebounds and 7 assists against the Raptors. In the two games, he made a total of 27 of 40 shots, with a shooting percentage of nearly 70%. He averaged 34 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists per game. His efficiency was terrifying. In addition to Antetokounmpo, Trent averaged 18.5 points per game, Cole Anthony averaged 16 points per game, Rollins, Kuzma, Porter Jr. and AJ Green also averaged double figures. New aid Turner is still looking for competitive form.
In the last 10 meetings between the two teams, the Cavaliers have won 8 of them, with a clear advantage. In the last five games, the Cavaliers have won all the games and can be called the Bucks' bitter host. This campaign is at the home team's court, and the Cavaliers will strive to defeat their opponents again. In terms of injuries, the Cavaliers' Garland and Struss continue to be absent, and Hunter is doubtful. The Bucks' Porter Jr. is absent, Kuzma is doubtful, and Antetokounmpo has a high probability of playing.
