The Bucks won 121-109 against the Nets on the road today, although on the road, but because Irving can not play, so the Bucks still have a relative advantage, and the alphabet brother also ushered in a comeback today.
After the victory over the Nets, the Bucks' record came to 26-15, while the Nets' record was 24-13, although the Nets were still in second place in the East and the Bucks were third, but there was no win gap between the two teams, and the Nets only slightly outperformed the Bucks in terms of winning percentage.
It is worth mentioning that before today's game, the latest MVP list was announced, and alphabet brother ranked first, pressing Durant. In today's game, Brother Alphabet also outperformed Durant. Alphabet Brother played only 26 minutes today, shooting 11-of-17, including 2-of-5 three-pointers and 7-of-10 from the free throw line, with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
Durant played 36 minutes today, shooting 10-of-19, including 1-of-3 from three-point range and 8-of-8 from the free throw line, with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. While Durant's personal data is also good, the Nets lost miserably to the Bucks.
In addition to the alphabet brother, the Bucks have 5 others to score in double figures today, including Middleton playing 30 minutes, 6 of 15, 9 of 3 points, 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Portis played 32 minutes, 9-of-16 and 2-of-5 from three-point range, with 25 points and 12 rebounds.
On the Nets side, only 4 people on the team scored in double figures, Harden played 36 minutes, 6 of 15, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 16 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and made 5 turnovers.
The first time the two teams met this season was in the opener, and the Bucks also scored a big win. That said, after losing to the Bucks in the semifinals last season, the Nets haven't won the Bucks this season either. The reason for this situation is still very much related to Irving's absence.
The main reason why the Bucks were eliminated by the Bucks this season on the Nets was because Irving was injured, and if Irving was not injured, the Bucks would most likely not be able to turn over. This season, Irving was unable to play because of vaccine problems and missed the season opener. Although Irving made his season debut in his last game, he was still unable to play because today's game was played at home to the Nets.
If there were Irving, the Nets would undoubtedly have the hope of beating the Bucks. In the last game, Irving helped the Nets end a 3-game losing streak as soon as he returned, and today without Irving, the Nets suffered a fiasco. As a result, the Nets are still very dependent on Irving, which is why they will let him come back early, even if he can only play away games.
