On June 8th, Beijing time, the Nets ushered in the Eastern Conference semifinals G2 with the Bucks (the Nets led 1-0 with a total score before the game).
Harden missed this game due to hamstring tightness, and Jeff Green missed his fifth consecutive game. For the Nets, although they currently lead the total score, since Harden's return date has not yet been determined, the Nets must strive to play every game before Harden comes back, especially the home games, which must be guarded.
originally thought it would be a contest like Mars hitting the earth, and thought the Nets would have a very difficult time, but unexpectedly they defeated the Bucks in one quarter at home.
Nets 5 players scored in double figures in this campaign. The team made 21 of 42 three-pointers. They completely suppressed the Bucks in rebounds, assists and steals. In the end, they defeated the Bucks with 39 points 1125-86 and won the second round of the series. -0 lead!
In this game, Durant only played in the first three quarters, making 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He easily scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. , the plus-minus value was + 27, the second highest in the team!
Compared with G1, Xiaoshuai not only maintained a stable mid-range feel today, but also opened up the outside line. Whether facing Antetokounmpo, Middleton or Tucker, the young coach's pull-up jumper simply does whatever he wants, ignoring the defense!
Today’s two most impressive goals, one appeared in the first quarter, Durant faced Antetokounmpo with continuous drastic changes of direction, making the latter unable to find his way, and then pulled up and shot to tie 2+1;
The other one was at the end of the third quarter, when Durant singled out Giannis Antetokounmpo. After he continuously changed directions and passed Antetokounmpo, facing the Bucks' three-man defense, he still strode into the penalty area and completed a difficult task. The reverse layup was successful.
This goal also made the Nets bench completely ebullient. Harden, the third brother wearing white clothes off the court, rushed up to give his eldest brother a high-five.
In this campaign, Xiaoshuai also celebrated 7 major milestones.
. The number of playoff games played reached 146, rising to 44th in NBA history.
. Playing time in the playoffs reached 5857 minutes, rising to 28th in NBA history.
. The number of rebounds in the playoffs reached 1122, exceeding Kobe Bryant rose to the 38th place in NBA history
4. The number of assists in the playoffs reached 581, rising to the 46th place in NBA history.
5. The three-pointers in the playoffs reached 323, rising to the 7th place in NBA history.
6. 53rd half-time score of 20+ in the playoffs, second only to James (96 times) and Kobe Bryant (69 times) in the past 25 years.
7. He has scored 30+ points 4 times in a single playoff season, second only in the history of the Nets. After Carter's 5
games, Xiao Shuai said in an interview with reporters: "The Bucks did not attack the basket. We were overwhelmed on the board, which shows that we have done a good job in blocking. We have shown our strength in the first two games and look forward to the next two games at the opponent's home court. "
As Xiaoshuai said, the Nets have secured it. In the first two home games, the next thing that needs to be done is to win on the road. A series often starts with an away win!
It is worth mentioning that Durant has averaged 40.5 points per game in the two away games he has played in the playoffs this year, shooting 61.4% from the field and 58.3% from three-point range. Therefore, fans don’t have to worry about KD’s condition in an away game!
As we all know, Durant has a nickname called "The God of Death", which describes that he can always light up the sickle at critical moments and see blood with his sword. This is the power of the God of Death. However, after today, I have to add three words in front of the God of Death, and that is - Libra.
The reason is this. Before the start of G2, a certain SQ actress Lana Rhoades (first on the right in the picture) revealed on a show that she recently went to New York, and a certain Nets player arranged for her and several of her friends to They watched the game in a box, and after the game they went to dinner together, but they eventually left the dinner.
Lana Rhoades said: "For me, he (referring to the Nets player) is not spicy enough." Lana Rhoades later revealed that the Nets player is a Libra.Although she did not say clearly who arranged for them to watch the game, currently only Durant in the Nets is a Libra. Therefore, if it’s not hot enough, it’s most likely that it’s Xiao Shuai!
Xiaoshuai’s explosive performance today seems to be in response to this actress, the god of death in Libra. Isn’t this spicy enough?
