Irving's first game of comeback was outstanding, not only scoring more than twenty points, but also helping the team win the game, but he is currently unable to play in the Nets' home game, so he missed today's game against the Bucks. This season, the Nets and the top ranked teams have played against each other many times, and the results are mainly wins and losses, so even if they are in second place in the East, fans are still not satisfied with their performance.
The Bucks and the Nets met, they are both title favorites, there is no shortage of superstars in the team, so this is a game that fans are looking forward to very much, the result of the game process is not fierce, only two equal points, and the Bucks have maintained the lead all the way, the whole game has not appeared to win or lose suspense, it can be said that the Nets did not create much trouble for the opponent.
In this game, the Bucks sent the starting players are Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Portis, Walla and Matthews, the Nets sent the starting players are Durant, Harden, Mills, Clarkston and Duke, these two teams have core players can not play, the Bucks side is the starting Holliday, Lopez and DiVinchenzo, the Nets side is the starting players Irving and Harris, I hope that the next time they play, the players can be healthy.
The Nets scored only twenty-one points in the first quarter, while the Bucks were much smoother in offense, scoring eight more points than the Nets, and established a larger lead at the beginning of the game. The Nets found an offensive feel in the second quarter, as did the Bucks, scoring more than thirty points in a single quarter, and after the first half, the point difference came to double digits. The Nets scored higher in each quarter, but unfortunately they could not limit the Bucks' offense, and seeing that the Bucks scored nearly forty points in this quarter, the gap did not narrow, but widened. In the last quarter, the Nets launched a counterattack, but unfortunately the Bucks' defense was very stable, did not give the opponent a chance to overtake, the starters of both sides went off early, the game was over, and the Bucks laughed to the end.
Durant played the first and third quarters, because the fourth quarter point difference was too large, so he only played five minutes, this game, Durant played more than thirty-six minutes again, he averaged second in the league in the season's average playing time, only a few tens of seconds less than VanVleet, for a thirty-three-year-old veteran with a serious injury experience, this is not a little too cruel. The Nets can't afford to lose Durant, but Durant's body is more important, and the playoffs should be the stage where they can do their best.
Durant had 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-19 shooting; Harden had 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists on 6-of-15 shooting; Antetokounmpo had 31 points, seven rebounds and nine assists on 11-of-17 shooting; Portis had 25 points and 12 rebounds on 9-of-16 shooting; and Middleton had 31 points and nine assists.
The Bucks have three players who score more than twenty points, and the Nets are the only one who does this, although the Nets have more lineup depth, but unfortunately there are not many players to rely on at key moments. After the game, Nash's remarks caused a heated discussion among fans, saying that he did not know the reason for the team's poor performance, and if he knew, it would mean that he had become a good coach. A coach who has no confidence in himself actually coaches a team with the goal of winning the championship is too much of a joke, and any Nets fan can say several reasons for the poor performance, and Nash actually does not know. Nash should be decent, voluntarily resigning is the most correct choice, as a coach, he is too naïve.
