In today's NBA regular season, Brooklyn sat at the Barclays Center to meet the Toronto Raptors, and the Nets finally defeated the Raptors 131-129 in overtime. In this game, the Nets did not play 9 people, that is to say, Nash can only play the Raptors with 8 players, which is a big challenge for the Nets. Before this game, the Raptors' record reached 13-14, ranking eleventh in the East, although their record is not ideal, but they have players such as Siakam and VanVleet, they are all-Star level, which is a big challenge for the Nets.
Looking at the Nets' stats, Durant continued the feel of the previous game, scoring a large triple-double of 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in 48 minutes; Mills was equally brave, playing 43 minutes, cutting 30 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists; Clarkston 16 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist; Griffin 13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists; Duke 10 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists; Edwards 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists; Sharp 7 points and 7 rebounds; Cameron Thomas 4 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. The six players on the team scored in double figures, which is undoubtedly the Nets that fans want to see the most.
After the game, fans were praising Durant's big triple-double, praising Mills' 30-point bravery, praising Edwards and Duke's double-double, but ignoring a veteran. He flew on the field to save the ball, slid a few meters on the field, and the fans stood up for him, applauded him, cheered for him. Although he did not get the ball in the end, his flying action to grab the ball successfully ignited the passion of the Nets and even the entire Barclays Arena.
At that time, the Raptors served the ball in the backcourt, and Siakam, who received the ball, did not notice the person behind, and Griffin found this vacancy and flew over to intercept the ball. His impact was so great that Siakam did not react, the ball was cut off by Griffin, although in the end Griffin could not control the ball, but the fallen Griffin quickly stood up and ran back to the backfield to continue defending. The moment he flew and broke the ball, the fans cheered and applauded for it, and at this moment, the atmosphere of the whole stadium was completely ignited, and the Nets won the Raptors with a drum.
In the final moments of the game, Griffin was fouled while defending VanVleet, 6 fouls were sent off, a 33-year-old veteran, but for the team's victory dared to fight, flew to break the ball, fought until six fouls left, how to make people disrespectful. Once Griffin was also the proud son of heaven, he was also a champion, and he also enjoyed the treatment of thousands of cheers, but the ensuing injuries ruined his career.
At the Nets, he has a base salary, a job with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, and perhaps some fans will say that Griffin has played badly in these games and even this season, but look at Griffin last season, he can always fire when the outside line needs, and fight for rebounds when the inside line needs.
Maybe Griffin wasn't perfect this season, but his hard work infected every player on the pitch, and when he broke the ball, the players on the court, the players off the court and the fans all gave him a standing ovation. This kind of fighting is exactly what the Nets need at the moment, striving for every ball, fighting until six fouls leave, how can such a Griffin be disrespectful.
