Kevin Durant may be considered one of the best players in the league, he does not necessarily manage to take over all the opposing players. The star is on a very bad series against a counterpart, which is not very reassuring with the approach of the playoffs. To be followed closely.
On the court this Thursday night, the Nets failed to get the upper hand over the Bucks of a great Giannis Antetokounmpo. A huge frustration for Kevin Durant and the rest of his teammates, who have been losing for some time. This is even more the case for the star, who definitely struggled against the Greek Freak.
Kevin Durant in big trouble with the Nets
Since last year, Giannis and KD have often crossed paths, between the playoff series and regular season games. This is not good news for the Nets player, who can no longer get the upper hand on his counterpart. A bad series, which therefore worsened this Thursday.

KD is 0-5 against Giannis in their last 5 meetings.
A real problem for KD, who is clearly struggling to get the better of Giannis and his Bucks. This includes the results of this regular season, but also the last series of playoffs, which ended badly for Brooklyn. A kind of nemesis, even if nothing is done yet as the postseason approaches.
What is certain, given the recent clashes between Brooklyn and Milwaukee, is that we hope for a reunion very soon. In the playoffs? It’s possible, and with last year’s series, the NBA could be rubbing its hands to see a new opposition between Durant and Antetokounmpo. However, once in the postseason, the score will be 0-0, and clever whoever can predict with certainty the winner of such a series.
While waiting to see how things evolve, the tension is still a little increased in the press conference. KD and Kyrie Irving shared their anger following the basketball practiced by the Bucks. All the more reason to hope for a new confrontation between all these beautiful people.
Kevin Durant is struggling against Giannis Antetokounmpo right now, and not just a little. Like the Nets, we are waiting for a reaction, after a very complicated period before the playoffs. But be careful, because in the postseason, everything is relaunched.
