In the fifth game of the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals, whoever wins first will be the first to draw. However, the main players on both sides, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Trae Young, can only sit on the sidelines and watch the game due to injuries. The two sides compete to see who can perform better among the deputy generals and role players.
Brook Lopez started on defense, directly inciting the Hawks defenders to cut in many times, and then independently attacked in the penalty area to get whatever he wanted, including a turnaround golden rooster jump shot and causing the opponent to foul at the same time, just like Dirk Nowitzki's signature trick. Many of Jrue Holiday's 13 assists were passed directly to Lopez for easy scoring at the basket. The 33 points was also the highest single-game score in Lopez's career in the playoffs.
Lopez is a key figure in the Bucks' low-key but stable performance in the playoffs. He currently averages 13.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks per game, and has a 57% field goal percentage and a 34% three-point shooting percentage. In addition to this game, the fast break that instigated Kevin Durant during the countdown of Game 7 of the second round was also the key at that time.
