In the NBA regular season, the Nets beat the Pistons 116-104 on the road to continue to lead the East with two consecutive wins. In this game Harden rotation, due to the strength of the Pistons, the net half prevailed, but the third quarter was countered by the opponent, the third quarter was 5 points behind, fortunately in the last quarter the Nets found their state, under durant's leadership to open the point difference, and finally won the game.
When Harden was on leave, the Nets had to look at Durant's performance if they wanted to win, and he did a great job in this game, bombing 51 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, playing well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, leading the team to win the game. Such an outstanding performance, harden after the game is also crazy big brother, this is my good big brother. The 51 points is also the highest single-game score in the league this season, and it is also the highest score of Durant's Nets career, but this time Durant's plus-minus is not the highest on the team (+25).
The highest plus-minus is from the bench Cameron Thomas, the first round of this year's no. 27 rookie, the bench played 29 minutes, 6 of 11 shooting, 4 of 3 points, 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and there were no mistakes, plus or minus +27 team-high. It can also be seen from this that when Thomas was on the court, the team was always in a state of winning, and in the first half of the third quarter, when he was suppressed by the opponent, Thomas just sat off the court and did not play.
Don't look at Thomas is only the No. 27 show, but he has been reused by the team, and in the past period of time, he has become the main rotation player of the team, stealing Griffin's rotation position. Thomas has excellent scoring ability and has become the leading scorer in the league this season. After a period of adaptation, Thomas has adapted to the team's system, and has begun to run and conduct, and his grasp is good, and he is naturally reused by the team. Now that Thomas has the trust of Nash and can get a steady playing time, this is still very rare for a rookie like him.
For the Nets, the signing is definitely earned, Nash through constantly adjusting the lineup, Thomas successfully seized the opportunity, but also got Nash's appreciation, into the rotation lineup. Thomas's progress has also allowed the Nets to successfully gain a substitute, and in the case of Irving's inability to return in time, the rise of the rookie is still very helpful, just to become Harden's replacement. Before the start of the season, it was thought that Nash would not use new people, and now he responds with practical actions, and he has helped the team find a replacement for Harden.
