Yesterday's game between the Nets and the Bucks Harden retired from injury, but in the end the Nets had the last laugh, leading the Bucks 1-0 with a big score.
Let’s talk about Harden’s injury first. It’s a leg Lajin injury. G2 games will not be played. If optimistic, he will be able to return in about a week. He is expected to miss 2-3 games. For the Nets, it is a fact that no one wants to see. If the Nets want to go further, they will have to play a good offense with Durant and Irving in the few games without Harden. If the players can't stand up, the Nets will be in trouble.
As far as the first game is concerned, Irving and Durant did a very good job. took the lead on both the offensive and defensive ends. played very tough and led the team to a good start. What did the Nets without Harden rely on to defeat the hero? What about the deer? Relatively speaking, neither of the two teams has to defend . The Nets have insufficient single defense ability on paper. has poor ability to defend . The Nets' offensive singles ability is too strong. Vincenzo, it is very difficult for the Bucks to abandon Daluo Pace. As long as Daluo is on the court, he will become the target of Durant and Irving's infinite single attack, and a single click will lead to your entire line of defense. There is no way to exert force, which led to the Bucks allowing the Nets to score 100 points in three quarters. What is your defense?
According to common sense, the Nets let a Harden. In this game, the Bucks should have a great advantage on the offensive end, but on the contrary, this advantage of the Bucks has not been exerted. In the case of Harden's injury Durant and Irving volunteered to take on more of the team's offense. They have played 40+ minutes. At this time, you Bucks took down the alphabet song too early. alphabet brother is the only one in the Bucks team. Super star.Irving and Durant are both in very good form this year, comparable to the Zhan Ou combination of that year, especially Durant, who are both good on offense and defense. Facing such a super combination, it would be a good idea to take Antetokounmpo too early. A big miss for G1.
Facing the Heat in the last series, Antetokounmpo averaged only 30 minutes per game. Can and Nets guard against Antetokounmpo? The answer is unstoppable. If you don’t give Antetokounmpo enough time to be on the court, you will take the initiative to defend Antetokounmpo. In yesterday’s game, Antetokounmpo did show some shortcomings on the offensive end, but the overall efficiency is not low, with 16 of 24 shots. He scored 34 points in the mid-2000s, the transition from offense to defense is a sharp sword, and the defense is not in vain. You can give 30 minutes of playing time to such a superstar, and the Bucks are going to compete with the Nets.
According to this state, even if Harden does not play suspense, it still exists, so the odds of winning the championship have not changed, and the Nets have a chance to have the last laugh.
