The NBA regular season continues, with the East facing a focus battle, with the Nets playing at home against the Bucks, the former ranking second in the East. The latter ranked 8th in the East. In the first quarter, the two sides played inextricably matched in the first half, durant led the Nets to play an 11-2 attack wave at the end of the quarter, the Bucks trailed by 7 points at the end of the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the Nets took advantage of the chase to open the point difference to double digits, and Alphabet Brother and Middleton led the team to catch up, and the first half of the battle ended, and the Nets led by 4 points. In the third quarter, the alphabet brother ushered in a big outbreak of a single quarter to cut 13 points, Irving is not willing to show weakness, three consecutive three-pointers, the game is very sticky, after three quarters the Bucks rebounded by 1 point; in the fourth quarter, Durant opened the point difference by 9 points in the middle of the quarter! But the Bucks did not give up, the alphabet brother finally attacked and hit a three-pointer, the game entered overtime, the two sides came and went, the score alternately rose, in the last minute, the Bucks led by 1 point, the last attack, Durant missed a three-pointer, and in the end, the Nets lost to the Bucks 119-120.
In this game, Durant performed well, scoring 26 points and 11 assists on 10-of-21 shooting, Curry Jr. performed remarkably well, scoring 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting, Brown felt good, scoring 23 points on 8-of-17 shooting, but Irving performed mediocrely, shooting 9-of-22 from the field, although scoring 25 points, but not efficient. After the game, Irving said the Bucks' style was like that, but some of their fouls were too reckless. Indeed, when narrow roads meet, the brave win, and only the side that dares to shine the sword can win the final victory. Durant, who was angry about the loss, said that getting angry about something I couldn't control would make people more stressed. In addition, he also said that winning the championship would be good. But that's not the only reason I play. Alphabet brother in this game to play MVP level performance, the whole game 21 shots 14 out of 44 points and 14 rebounds of the big double double, after the game, bucks officials also said that alphabet brother is this season's MVP. It is worth mentioning that if the alphabet brother gets the MVP, he will have 3 MVPs and will become the youngest star in history.
The situation in the East has become very clear, the Heat, Bucks, Celtics and 76ers are basically determined to be in the top 4 in the East, while the Cavaliers, Nets, Hornets and Hawks will play the playoffs, but the US media has stated that no team in the Eastern Conference playoffs is willing to meet the Nets with the Big Three in the first round, so if the Nets eventually advance to the 8th. No one wants to be number one in the East. Therefore, in the following matches, the top four teams will take a break from some of the main players. Personally, I think that there are still 4 games left in the regular season, and the opponent's strength is not strong, the Nets actually do not want to play the side game, and now the Nets and raptors are 3.5 wins, theoretically there is still a chance, so the fourth in the East is the safest.
