The Bucks play the Nets again
The Brooklyn Nets welcomed kyrie Irving back, ending a three-game losing streak, but this game against the Milwaukee Bucks was home to the Nets, so Irving could not play. Last season's playoffs, the two teams played each other in the Eastern Conference semifinals, memorable, and if it weren't for Irving's injury, the Nets would probably have lifted the championship trophy. This time, the Nets still did not have Irving, but the Bucks also suffered from injuries, Holliday was isolated, and Lopez the Elder was still injured.
Brother Alphabet ushered in a comeback in this game, which is self-evident for the help of the team. After Cousins was cut, the Bucks signed Galloway to a short ten-day contract. In this game against the Nets, Galloway will play, and everyone is waiting, whether the Decision of the Bucks management can help the team.

After returning from the second quarter, the Nets gradually regained their touch, but the point difference continued to widen.
Durant shot 4 of 5, a single quarter is 11 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, the personal offense is really unstoppable, Harden also has 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, the Nets successfully bombed 28 points, but the Bucks had 31 points in the account, so by the end of the half, the Nets have fallen behind by 11 points. In the second half, Durant had 8 points and 3 assists, Harden had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-5 shooting, the Nets fired 31 points in a single quarter, but the Bucks scored 38 points, Middleton had 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and Alphabet Brother was 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and the Bucks' lead came to 18 points.

The gap is clear at a glance
Although the Brooklyn Nets only lost 12 points in the end, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a defeat or a fiasco. Throughout the game, the Nets were suppressed by the Bucks, and they clocked in for the third quarter, announced that they would give up the game, and lost without a little temper. Kevin Durant had 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, still a steady play, James Harden was 16 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, the offensive end was slightly insufficient, but the most critical thing was Mills, 1 of 8 shooting, 6 of 3 points, only 3 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
The Nets signed Mills, it is indeed a great contract, but he is not Irving after all, the Nets must also recognize this reality, after losing this game, the Nets have suffered a 5-game losing streak at home. Alphabet brother 31 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, still no solution, Middleton 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Portis also has 25 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists, but the key to the Raptors' victory is still a three-pointer. After the game, the Nets only shot 6 of 27 three-pointers, while the Bucks shot 16 of 45, a difference of 10 three-pointers, and it was basically impossible to win.
It's not a game, the Nets have finished sixth in the league in three-point shots this season and third-to-last in the league in three-point shooting, and to win a championship, it's really hard to do without three points.
