On October 9, Beijing time, in today’s preseason game between the Nets and the Bucks, with rookie Cameron Thomas scoring 5 points in the last minute, the Nets defeated the Bucks 119-115.
In this game, the Bucks suspended their 11 major rotation players, and the Nets’ Irving and Millsap were also absent, but the shadow of the second round of last season’s playoffs still exists. This is the Nets’ first home game after being eliminated by the Bucks last season. Many people said that this secretly also means grievances between the two teams.
“No, I think if we meet more times in the playoffs, there may be grievances.” Durant said after the game. “There may be grievances between our fans and Bucks fans, but the team Not in between. There are not enough chances for a matchup to make us deadly enemies. None of the seven or eight players on the team have experienced a playoff game against the Bucks last season, so they don’t know how it feels.”
Durant insisted that the current situation of the NBA will not create enemies, but the competition between fans will be greater.
“I don’t think we will have such a mortal enemy in our league again,” Durant continued. “Of course, most fans on social media will become mortal enemies. As the season progresses, such emotions will be affected. Zoom in, but our players will not.”
Bucks coach Budenholzer sees some deeper possibilities than Durant. He believes that two opponents need to respect each other in order to compete. This mutual respect began in the second round of last season.
“I think the competition is relatively new. We met in the playoffs and played an incredible series.” The Bucks coach said, “The two teams gave everything in G7. We respect it very much. The players, the coaching staff and the entire team. We want to be the best team in the East and the NBA, and I know the Nets’ expectations are the same.”
“The grievances between them have a chance to intensify,” Nets coach Nash said. “When the playoffs are over, no matter how the series is played, there will usually be some seeds of grievances quietly generated. Especially this round of the series is so close. , And then the winner can make it to the NBA Finals. These are the two top teams in the Eastern Conference. I think they have enough strength to develop into mortal enemies.”Return to Sohu to see more
