On February 27, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 126-123 to avoid a three-game losing streak. The Bucks were reversed in this game, the Bucks led by 8 points in the first half, but in the third quarter they were overtaken by the Nets, and both teams had a chance to end the game in the final quarter, but unfortunately the Bucks core Giannis Antetokounmpo failed to seize the opportunity, and he was the Biggest sinner of the Bucks in the last quarter with only 1 of 6 shots.
After the game, Kevin Durant roared on the bench: "This is the Victory of the Brooklyn Nets. I personally feel pale and powerless in this passage, what is the victory of Brooklyn? Abandon the defense to fight the attack, and wait for the opponent to be unstable? What the Nets have lost........ Of course, it is not excluded that Durant is venting, after all, the Nets have not won for too long, and we should show understanding.
The Nets have won only three of the last 16 games, which is as tragic as the Lakers in the West, the Nets are currently eighth in the East, and there is still a win difference from the seventh-place Raptors in the East, and the ninth Hornets in the East are only 2 wins away from the Nets. The key thing is that the Nets' big three-big fit is still far away.
Irving said after the game that he wanted to play at home and we finally saw a glimmer of light playing at Barclays Center. But according to the latest news, the cancellation of the mandatory vaccine order has been postponed, and how long Irving will be able to play at home is still unknown.
Nash also said after the game that Durant would not return in the next two games. (I'm talking about next week, but I don't know how long it will be without playing two games)
Ben Simmons' comeback is even more elusive, and even Nash doesn't know how long Simmons will have to play, should the Nets be excited?
At present, it seems that the Nets and Philadelphia trade have a positive effect on Curry Jr. and Drummond Jr., Curry Jr. scored 19 points and 3 assists in this game, all 20+ in the previous four games; Zhuang Shen this campaign 17 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and also sent a winning cap, but these two can not change the status quo of the Nets.
According to FTE's predictions, the Nets have a 66% chance of entering the playoffs, and the probability of winning the championship is only a pitiful 0.7%, should the Nets be happy to win a game? Can Durant return to the East's top powerhouse even after returning to the Nets?
