On January 8, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets faced the Milwaukee Bucks at home, and although Durant's performance was extremely good, durant still could not lead the team because of the performance of his teammates.
In the first half, the Nets' starters were too crotch-pulling. Although Durant scored 19 points in the first half, the other four starters scored only 17 points in total, which is the fourth time of the season that Durant has scored more than the rest of the starters combined.
In the first half, Durant stepped up when the team was behind, shooting straight three-point shots to narrow the gap to within 10 points. If in the first half, the Nets were able to rely on Durant's performance to make the difference between the two sides not so large, then in the second half, it was simply a disaster scene for the Nets.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Bucks fired down 26 points, and Alphabet Brother and Middleton combined to score 23 points. Alphabet Brother scored 8 points and 2 assists on 3-of-4 shooting in the half, and Middleton blasted 15 points and 2 assists on 4-of-4 shooting in the half. Compared with the hot state of the Bucks' star, Harden's state today has not been able to keep up with Durant's rhythm.
In today's game, the Bucks 6 scored in double figures, all starters in double figures, and in comparison, the Nets starters except Durant (29 points), Harden (16 points) and Clarkston 14 points, David Duke actually only had 4 points, and Mills's performance was even more hot-eyed, scoring only 3 points on 1 of 8 shooting.
Therefore, just at the starting end, although Durant's performance was extremely good, the team eventually lost due to the performance of his teammates.
