The playoffs are a battlefield for stars, but in games with a sharp increase in intensity, little people with a strong heart can also become an important player in turning the tide of the battle. The Clutch Times will record every day in the playoffs and share with fans the important news that affects the overall situation.key figure.
2019/5/7 Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals
Bucks 113 [win] 101 Celtics, Eastern Conference semifinals 3:1 Bucks lead
★George Hill｜15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, plus/minus +15 (second highest on the team)
★Pat Connaughton ｜9 points, 10 rebounds, plus/minus +15 (highest on the team)
At present, George Hill can be said to be the most successful and important reinforcement for the Bucks before the playoffs. In the past two games, he averaged 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were as high as 65% and 50% respectively. The above not only makes up for the absence of Malcolm Brodgon, but also makes up for Eric Bledsoe's unsatisfactory offensive and defensive slump. Kyrie Irving, who is responsible for the main defense, has a shooting percentage of just over 30% in two consecutive games, and also made 8 turnovers. Most of Irving's scoring in these two games occurred in the first quarter when Hill was not around.
What's interesting is that the Bucks can always become violent when Hill is on the court. When Hill is not on the court, the Bucks' offensive efficiency is only 90.8, but as soon as he comes on the court, it soars to 116.8, and the 26 points in between are completely This shows that the Bucks always fall behind in the first quarter, but can overwhelm their opponents in the second and third quarters.
In addition to Hill, I still have to mention another bench player of the Bucks.Pat Connaughton, turned into a rebounding thug in these games, averaging 8.5 rebounds in the second round of the playoffs, plus an outside shooting percentage of close to 50%. The bench combination of him and Hill allowed the Bucks to always defeat Celty in the middle and late stages. The key to gram.

2019/5/4 Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals
Bucks 123 [win] 116 Celtics, Eastern Conference semifinals 2:1 Bucks lead
★George Hill | 21 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 of 3 three-pointers
★Pat Connaughton｜14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 of 9 three-pointers
Although Eric Blesode, the starting point guard, performed poorly, the Bucks had two guards on the bench who jumped out to take over the game!
The reason for falling behind in the first half was that Connaughton jumped out many times and used three-pointers from outside to help the Bucks keep the score tight. In the second and third quarters, Hill used outside three-pointers to help the Bucks tie and pull away. Especially It was a quick pass and dunk in the third quarter that aroused the momentum of the Bucks, and also allowed the Bucks to pull to 17 points in the second half.
Hill also caused a lot of trouble for Kyrie Irving on defense. Irving, who scored 13 points in the first quarter, only scored 16 more points in the next three quarters, and his shooting percentage dropped to 30%. Connaughton continued his hard work in the last game. After 11 rebounds in the previous game, he grabbed 7 rebounds this time. He also interrupted the Celtics' transmission many times. The two of them made the Celtics unable to defend themselves at both ends. , also allowed the Bucks to wait until double stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton returned to normal performance in the second half and took away the important third game victory.
