The NBA regular season ushered in a focus battle, the Nets played at home against the Bucks, and the showdown between the two teams has attracted much attention. The two sides played fiercely throughout the game, playing the competition that two favorite teams for the title should have. In the final moments of the fourth quarter, there was a sudden accident on the court, bucks giant Middleton sent a fierce foul in a return defense, and the referee showed no mercy after the video replay, directly blowing the second-degree malicious foul and expelling Middleton.
With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Nets Brown quickly attacked and counterattacked, at this time there was no one in front of him, only Middleton was chasing behind him, and when Brown came to the basket and flew to prepare for the dunk, Middleton suddenly extended a large hand from behind, directly grabbed Brown's left hand, and after he lost his balance, he still tightly dragged the defense, causing Brown to fall heavily to the ground, looking very dangerous.
As can be seen from the slow-motion replay, Middleton was behind Brown at the time, and it was impossible to chase after the cover, but in order to stop Brown's attack, he did not care whether he would hurt anyone and made an extremely fierce and very dangerous move.
After he hit Brown's left hand in the air, the whole person had habitually flown out to the bottom line, but at this time he still refused to let Go of Brown, and the entire right hand directly hooked Brown with his wrist, even if he fell down and did not want him to complete the layup, until Brown lost his balance and fell, Middleton still extended his hand, without the slightest intention of recovering.
Brown, on the other hand, fell sideways to the ground, fortunately, he supported the ground with his hands in time, and landed on the ground with his left arm sideways, so that the body was buffered when it landed, avoiding irreversible damage. After being forcibly dragged to the ground, Brown was so angry that he sat on the ground staring fiercely at Middleton, his inner dissatisfaction overflowing with words.
Then the Nets players were very dissatisfied, directly surrounded by Middleton theory, almost triggered a conflict, fortunately, others are more restrained, the referee also stopped in time, in order to avoid a large-scale conflict.
I have to say that Middleton's action is really too dangerous, and it is a completely avoidable hurtful action. You know, the Nets have suffered a big loss on the Bucks this season, and now that the playoffs are approaching, Brown is an important member of the Nets' current starting lineup, and if he is injured, the Nets will face a shortage of manpower, which is worse. It can be said that Brown was not fouled this time, and for the Nets, it can be regarded as a lucky escape.
In this game, Brown's performance was very good, contributing 21 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, and the attack and defense were excellent.
It is worth mentioning that according to the current ranking of the two teams, the two sides are likely to meet in the first round of the playoffs, and what kind of sparks will be rubbed out at that time, we will wait and see. I just hope that both sides can play well and stop making shady moves.
