On April 1, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost 119-120 at home to the Milwaukee Bucks, and Kevin Durant conceded two crucial killer shots in a row, making the team unable to maintain the advantage until the end.
Counting today's game, Durant has lost five consecutive games against Alphabet Brother. Last season, the two teams met in the playoffs, with the Nets ending in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and losing all three regular season encounters with the Nets this season.
Durant failed to hit the final shot in regular time and the last shot in overtime, which also caused his shooting percentage at key moments to drop again. The data shows that since 2015, Durant has made 28 shots in the winning goal, only hitting 5 goals, and the shooting rate is only 17.8%. To some extent, it proves that the Nets' continuous reliance on Durant to end the game at key moments is not an absolutely wise move.
Irving's invisibility in the last moment, Durant's weakness at key moments, the Nets seem to have become an isolated team from a star-studded team in an instant, I don't know if they miss James Harden who has left the team at this moment, if Harden is on the floor today, Nash will have more options, Durant will have more containment points around him, and the Nets may play more opportunities.
