Beijing time on December 13, the Nets today faced the league's penultimate weak team Detroit Pistons, they did not give the opponent any chance, under Durant's super strong play, the Nets finally pulled out the Pistons 116-104, in the opponent 12 consecutive losses at the same time also ushered in two consecutive wins. In this game, the Nets' two biggest players, James Harden and Paul Millsap, both of them are off, and in this game, Durant single-handedly led the team, Nash activated Griffin and Clarkston again, but both performed unsatisfactorily, one 1-of-0, one 2-of-0, 2 points.
Durant once again carried the offensive banner in this campaign, scoring an epic stat of 51 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks in the whole game, and also successfully set a number of records. There is no doubt that Durant is the brightest star of the game, his three-pointer, mid-shot, breakthrough make opponents helpless, because the Pistons do not choose to pack Durant as often as other teams, which also plays well. With the exception of Durant, the starters have performed well overall, with Mills making 7 of 17 and contributing 18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and his plus-minus is +12.
Bemburi had 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-of-3 shooting, James Johnson had 4 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 3-of-3; Thomas scored 6-of-11 on the bench, delivering 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists; Bruce Brown had 4-of-7 with 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. It is worth mentioning that Ade in this campaign once again had a good performance, the whole game, Ade started 24 minutes and 36 seconds, 8 of 4, with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, the performance was comprehensive and stable, but Ade's performance in this game also had two major flaws.
The first is that there are too many mistakes (4 times), and the second is that the plus-minus value is too low (-7). However, the 36-year-old can play like this is really quite good, after returning to the Nets this season, people thought that Ade was just to play a substitute, mixed with a championship, but he did not expect that he has now become one of the thighs of the team. So far, Ader's average of 14.0 points per game has become the team's third scoring point, behind Durant and Harden, and he is on a base salary this season, with an annual salary of only 2.64 million.
Ade has been very consistent this season, shooting more than 50 percent in 10 of his last 11 games, with the lowest shooting percentage being 40 percent (4 of 10) not bad. Ard is really inexpensive, the Nets signed him to make a lot of money, if Harden can win the first championship of his career, he really should thank this teammate. Ade worked hard with the Nets, without any complaints, he played hard, with a basic salary but doing the work of a superstar, such a player deserves respect.
