Let no one doubt that the Bucks are the reigning NBA champions for reasons that are not limited to the fact that the season had significant casualties due to a pandemic and/or injuries. It would be dangerous. The explosion of the best Antetokounmpo was the icing on the cake, which rounded off last summer’s title in Milwaukee, but we are talking about a well-worked team in recent years that finally found the pieces it needed to be a real candidate for victory. That’s how it happened. That’s why it still is having only retouched secondary pieces this season to continue threatening to lift the Larry O’Brien also next June. weight champion. But in the big meetings is where he puts those values to the test that, with the experience lived, can be attributed to him. The calendar leaves you exhausted and does not allow many mistakes if you want to have the rivals scared when they see you close.
The Heat have crossed the path of bucks in the last two years and maybe they will do it in this one too when it’s time for the playoffs. On 2020, in the bubble, Miami won with abrupt criticism of Giannis for avoiding pairing up defensively with Butler, who lifted his team to the Finals. On 2021, with the Heat touched and in a losing streak, Milwaukee went over the opponent like a tank. That the Bucks continue to be the Bucks, fearsome, and that the Heat have had the best summer in the entire League in terms of signings, cataloged this way by the sports directors of the teams, makes this rivalry one of the hottest. There is an aroma of the Eastern Conference of the brave, the battled, the dog. And what joy.
This was why it was a confrontation to be taken into account by their own and others. These two teams take, after today’s result, only three victories apart. In between are the Bulls and Sixers. The Bucks, fourth in the conference, defeat the leading team. They also do it with a sign that they have the character that being the holder of the title gives: mettle in the hottest moments of the matches and various threats, like a Swiss Army knife, to overwhelm an opponent and make him pay with defeat. The two squires of Anteto, first Middleton with a triple to close and then Holiday with a layup to sentence, they left some Heat broken who let go in a date that they had grabbed by the arm strongly in the second half. The forced errors, as they are best classified in tennis, ended with those of Spoelstra saddened and waiting for Kyle Lowry, a point guard who can hold the team better in these situations, to return to the courts to be, they too, a threat..
