Why did the Nets' deal with the 76ers be a win-win for both sides? Today's Nets game with the Bucks gives a good answer.
Today, the Nets challenged the Bucks and ushered in Irving's long-lost comeback. Although the Nets had a poor start, the Bucks scored 32 points in the first quarter, but the situation was not too far behind, and the counterattack began in the second quarter, resulting in the two sides entering a tug-of-war in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the Bucks still maintained a slight lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Curry Jr.'s three-point shot began to power, while Zhuang Shen was on the inside line, and Irving played in the crowd, leading the Nets to play a wave of small climaxes and directly overtake the score. But the Bucks, as the defending champion, are obviously not vegetarians, and The Alphabet Brother continues to eat the inside to win the basket, and Portis has become the Bucks' miracle soldier, and today his three-point shots are 8 of 14, making a lot of contributions to the Bucks' tight score.
In the final tiebreaker, Irving steadily hit a free throw to give the Bucks a chance to turn the tables and win 126-123.
Throughout the game, the 76ers traded the Nets' small Curry and Zhuang Shen to completely make up for the Nets' previous shortcomings, and the Nets' three-point shooting and rim protection ability improved by more than one notch.
In fact, Irving's ability is still the same, holding the ball to break through before is so powerful, but the previous Nets lineup is really not enough to see, the opponent can rest assured that the single core led Irving to pack. But now it's different, who dares to let go of Curry jr. shooting outside the three-point line, the opponent's inside players do not dare to pull out to help defend, once they walk away, Zhuang Shen will eat cakes at the bottom of the basket to score, easily. So, even if the Bucks are at home and The Alphabet Brother wins the quasi-triple-double, it will not help.
Don't forget, the Nets are not on the court yet, along with Durant and Simmons.
