The NBA regular season continues, and the Lakers challenge the Bucks away from home. The Lakers currently rank 4th in the Western Conference with a record of 9 wins and 4 losses. The Bucks, on the other hand, ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 8 wins and 5 losses. This game is a big challenge for the Lakers, because the Bucks' athletic ability is overall very good. It depends on whether the Lakers can withstand it.

In today's game, the two teams were back-to-back, and the Bucks played overtime, but the Lakers were also away from home, so this influencing factor can be eliminated. After the Lakers defeated the Pelicans in the last game, Doncic put forward a concept that the team should engage in confrontation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, confrontation came. Antetokounmpo's impact on the basket depended on whether the Lakers could withstand it.

The starting lineup for this game is, Bucks: Kuzma, Antetokounmpo, Turner, AJ Green, Rollins.

Lakers: Bronny, Laravia, Ayton, Reeves, Doncic.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers got the ball and Rivers made a fadeaway jumper from the free throw line to take the lead. Rollins gave Antetokounmpo in the penalty area a hard fight under the basket, but he couldn't stop it at all. He dunked with both hands, and the two sides started 2:2. Rivers missed a 3-pointer, and neither did Kuzma. Antetokounmpo hit the basket, caused a foul, and made one of two free throws. Then an interesting scene happened. The two sides competed for the ball. Doncic actually beat Antetokounmpo with a jump. Then Doncic rewarded himself with a 3-pointer, but he still didn't make it. Ayton came up with an alley-oop, and Rollins could also score a breakthrough layup.

Green faced Ayton and hit a 3-pointer with one shot. Doncic immediately responded with a 3-pointer. Rivers broke through for a layup, but Turner missed it. Rollins missed a 3-pointer. Doncic scored another 3-pointer, 13:8. The point difference came to 5 points. The Lakers took the lead and the game entered a timeout.

After the game came back, Doncic fouled and made one of two free throws. Then came Doncic again, who scored 2+1 with a breakthrough layup. Knecht also scored a breakthrough layup. Hayes made another free throw. The score reached 21:10, and the Lakers led by 11 points. Doncic got through the two defenders and sent space, and Hayes completed a dunk, 23:10. Trent finally scored a 3-pointer, 23:13, a 10-point difference.

Kleber came on the court and scored a 3-pointer. The Lakers had another player who could play. Portis immediately responded with a 3-pointer. Hayes caused another foul later and made two free throws. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Bucks by 12 points 30:18.

Game data, Antetokounmpo had 3 points and 3 rebounds, Turner 0 points, Kuzma 0 points, Doncic 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Rivers 5 points, Ayton 2 points, Browne 0 points, Knecht 2 points, Heiss 6 points and 3 rebounds.

In today’s game, the situation of the game changed. Just after Antetokounmpo took a break, the current Bucks really cannot do without Antetokounmpo. When he is not on the court, the Bucks cannot organize an effective offense. As for the Lakers, there are still many offensive starting points, especially Doncic. When the state comes, it is impossible to stop it. In addition, the role players of the Lakers today performed well. Even Kleber scored 3 points. But in the end, it is difficult to determine the outcome of the game.

Let’s take a look at the performance of the players of the Lakers and Bucks in today’s game.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo was really invincible under the basket today. His physical fitness was too strong. As long as he caught the ball under the basket, he could not defend at all. However, he played for 5 minutes in the first quarter and took a rest. As a result, the team was almost defeated.

2. Kuzma was completely out of form today. He played for 5 minutes at the beginning and all his statistics were 0. Maybe he couldn't bear to take action when facing his old club today.

3. Knecht performed well today, especially the breakthrough layup, which was very exciting, and he also rebounded well. His condition has been improving recently.

4. Ayton's performance today was okay. The offensive end still has the same problem. The shooting rate is very high, but he does not have much possession of the ball. It is not easy to face Turner and Antetokounmpo in the paint today.

5. Bronny was put into the starting lineup today, which illustrates two problems. First, the Lakers really have no point guard available. Vincent doesn't know what's going on. Smart should be taking a rest. Second, Browne has made great progress and won Redick's trust.

6. Hayes was very happy today. In the first quarter, he continued to eat cakes. When he was full, he got the ball under the basket and started directly. He could also cause fouls. His performance today was quite good.

7. Rivers started the game today and played more without the ball. Judging from the current situation, the effect is relatively good. He really needs to practice this.

8. Tierro played in the first quarter today. It can be seen that his physical talent and movement are very good. He has already grabbed the first rebound of his career.

9. Doncic didn't feel good at the beginning of the game, but then he scored two 3-pointers and caused free throws. He scored 8 points in a row and led the Lakers to take the lead. When he started to feel good, he was really unstoppable. He had too many offensive methods, one on three, one on four, drawing fouls, and shooting 3 points. His offensive talent is something that few people can compare with.

Strong troops and horses! The Lakers played against the Bucks, Bronny started, Kleiber scored a three-pointer, and Tierro made his debut!
