NBA regular season continues, Bucks at home play against Nets . Previously, the Bucks won 2 wins and 0 losses, defeating the 76ers and the Rockets in succession, Antetokounmpo averaged 33+13+6 per game and showed dominance. The Nets have lost to the Pelicans and the Grizzlies since the start of the game, and have only won one game of Raptors . But to be honest, the Bucks are really not easy to play when they meet the Nets. The Bucks have extremely lacked strong defenders who restrict Duo's singles. However, today Antetokounmpo taught a lesson to Durant and Irving . The game was full of twists and turns, and the Bucks once took a double-digit lead in the first quarter, but the Nets climaxed in the second quarter, overtaking strongly and opening the double-digit score difference. In the third quarter, Antetokounmpo began to cause damage, , Nash, was expelled because he was dissatisfied with the referee's call, and in the entire fourth quarter, no one scored except Irving in the first quarter. In the end, the Bucks defeated the Nets 110-99 at home, and the Bucks won three consecutive victories, and the Nets suffered two consecutive losses.
Both teams felt average at the beginning. After Holiday single Simmons , Durant responded with a signature mid-range shot. Simmons broke through and made a layup, and was blown away by Antetokounmpo's big hat. Durant opened the three-pointer early, and Antetokounmpo and Lopez succeeded in succession. The two teams played for 8 minutes and tied 9-9. A controversial scene occurred on the field in the second half: Portis leaned back and jumped back, stepped on Durant's foot when landing, and the referee judged Durant's first-level malicious foul after replay. The Bucks stopped the Nets with two three-pointers from , Daluo, and Portis, and the score difference was once 10 points. Durant dunked at the end of the quarter, and Sumner scored 5 points in a row. After the first quarter, the Nets fell behind the Bucks 20-25.
Back in the second quarter, Hill and Holiday both got the opportunity to go to the empty basket easily. At the critical moment, O'Neal scored a three-pointer and sounded the Nets' counterattack horn. O'Neal made another three-pointer, Sharp made a tip-in, and Irving butterfly made a layup with a flower dance move to stop the Bucks. In the second half, Clarkston 's make-up dunk, Durant's free throw, Irving's difficult mid-range leaning, and O'Neal and Watanabe Yota 's three-pointers, the Nets opened the 10-point difference in one wave. At the end of the quarter, Irving made both free throws, and the Nets led the Bucks 55-43 at halftime. The Bucks really have no choice but to play the role of Irving, they can only act as the background board. Today, O'Neal's outbreak shared the pressure on Duo. Durant scored 13 points in the first half, O'Neal scored 12 points, Irving scored 11 points, and Antetokounmpo made 3 of 10 in the first half.
When I returned in the second half, Antetokounmpo kept standing on the free throw line, while Durant kept using the mid-range shot to give a reply. After Antetokounmpo increased the number of inside attacks, the Nets were in trouble with fouls early, and Allen's three-pointer hit the Nets. In the middle of the game, Durant complained that the referee had a skilled foul, and Antetokounmpo finally used free throws and layups to clear the gap. Durant completed 2+1, Harris scored a three-pointer, and after the Nets reached a climax, Antetokounmpo attacked and knocked down Mills . Nash was very dissatisfied with complaining to the referee, and two technical fouls were directly expelled! At the end of the quarter, Antetokounmpo and Portis led the team to overtake the score, and at the end of the quarter, Simmons missed two free throws. After the third quarter, the Nets fell behind the Bucks 76-78.
In the fourth quarter, Antetokounmpo scored a three-pointer, and Irving responded with consecutive singles. But the Nets' offensive end was completely silent in the middle. After Walla chased for a three-pointer, O'Neal + Mills + Durant made a consecutive three-pointer, and Antetokounmpo continued to attack the basket to expand the gap. After the Bucks called a timeout, Holiday's three-pointer extended the lead to double-digits, and Durant counterattacked and layup stopped the bleeding. Antetokounmpo continued to go to the free throw line and bullied Simmons at a low post. Irving committed a foul to maintain a trace of suspense. In the last minute, Irving got a skilled foul, the Nets surrendered and replaced it with five substitutes. In the end, the Bucks defeated the Nets 110-99 at home, and while winning three consecutive victories, they also sent the Nets to lose two consecutive games.

Antetokounmpo is so strong! In the first half, Antetokounmpo only made 3 of 10 shots and scored 9 points. From the third quarter, every time he hit the basket, the Nets either let him score easily or could only lose a foul. Clarkston could not hold it up at all, Sharp was easily shaken, Durant was also trying to help, and could only stop it through fouls. O'Neal was not tall enough and lacked confrontation. Including Simmons, at least three times today, Antetokounmpo was forced into the basket by Antetokounmpo, and Antetokounmpo made a provocative gesture. The Nets don't have many tactics to say. Durant and Irving are singles, and others can't help and they can't get a rebound. The Bucks started with a strong start with three consecutive victories, while Durant was very tired and Irving was even more tired. I don’t know when they might fall. Nash is not very capable and has a big temper. The Nets are too difficult.
