密尔沃基发生了什么事？在过去的几场比赛中，凯尔库兹马一直是密尔沃基雄鹿队的可靠角色球员。在扬尼斯·阿德托昆博缺阵的情况下，库兹马代替这位球星打出了很好的互补篮球。随着阿德托昆博在对阵人手不足的波士顿凯尔特人队的比赛中回归，这位前NBA冠军预计将坐上替补席。

事实上，库兹马在雄鹿队对阵凯尔特人队的比赛中担任替补首发。然而，库兹马在比赛中从未离开替补席，在输给没有杰伦·布朗的波士顿队的比赛中，他没有上场一分钟。根据埃里克·内姆的说法，当被问及为什么他被坐在替补席上时，主教练道格·里弗斯说他决定不打前锋。

虽然库兹马本赛季的表现还没有达到标准，但这位前锋在过去的四场比赛中表现得更好。过去四场比赛他场均贡献16分，还有近4个篮板和不到3次助攻。由于雄鹿队在比赛的大部分时间里都被淘汰，令人好奇的是为什么里弗斯决定不给这位前锋做出贡献的机会。

过去三场比赛，雄鹿队总共丢掉了78分。这是一个令人担忧的趋势，尤其是在他们刚刚结束了过去十场比赛中赢了八场的一段时期之后。当被问及连败时，里弗斯是这样说道的。

“我不关心得分。我只关心我们打得怎么样。我们打得很好，但我们有点迷失了方向，我认为这是在攻防两端。我认为在进攻方面，我们有很好的节奏，在过去三场比赛中我们已经做到了，但我们无法维持它。”

雄鹿队接下来将于 3 月 4 日迎战亚特兰大老鹰队。

What’s going on in Milwaukee? Over the past few games, Kyle Kuzma has been a solid role player for the Milwaukee Bucks. With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, Kuzma played nice complementary basketball in place of the star. With Antetokounmpo returning against the shorthanded Boston Celtics, the former NBA champion was expected to go to the bench.

In fact, Kuzma went to the bench to start the Bucks’ game against the Celtics. However, Kuzma never left the bench during the game, not logging a single minute of action in their loss to a Boston team without Jaylen Brown. When asked why he was benched, head coach Doc Rivers said that he had decided not to play forward according to Eric Nehm.

Although Kuzma has not had a good game this season, the forward has been playing better in the last four games. He was averaging 16 points per game over the last four games, along with nearly four rebounds and only three assists. With the Bucks shut out for most of the game, it’s curious why Rivers decided not to give the forward a chance to perhaps contribute.

Over the last three games, the Bucks have lost a total of 78 points. This is a worrying trend, especially as they have been on a comeback trail and have won eight of their last ten matches. Rivers said this when asked about the sequence of defeats.

“I don’t care about the points. I just care about how we’re playing. We’ve been playing great, and we’ve kind of lost our way and I think that’s on both sides. I think offensively, we had a great rhythm and we’ve done that in spurts the last three games, but we haven’t been able to sustain it.”

The Bucks next face the Atlanta Hawks on March 4.
