On December 17, Beijing time, when the Nets fell into crisis because of the 7-person isolation, Griffin, who was reactivated, proved his ability. In the face of the inside battle with Embiid, Griffin was unable to join hands with Clarkston to block Embiid's 32+9+6 data, but Griffin contributed 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, becoming the second highest scorer on the team and one of the winners, scoring 10 points in the last quarter and hitting a key three-pointer in the final moment.
It is worth mentioning that Griffin set two new season highs: First, Griffin set a record for the highest score in a single game of the season, after scoring 14 points against the Raptors on November 8, and also scored 13 points in the last game against the Raptors.
Second, Griffin hit a new season record of 7 goals in a single game, after the previous record was two single-game hits of 5 goals.
As a key role player who joined the Nets after being bought out by the Pistons last season, Griffin completed the transition from star to role player and worked extremely hard in the playoffs to defend the alphabet brother. It's just that Griffin has fallen out of Nash's rotation lineup at one point this season, and it seems to be a remake of jordan Jr.'s script of being hidden by Nash last season.
However, in recent games, Griffin has been activated again, especially now that the Nets are absent from the team, so that Griffin's value has been highlighted again. Defeating the Raptors in overtime last game, Griffin struggled to leave the game with 6 fouls and got an all-around statistic of 13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
Facing the showdown with Philadelphia, Griffin also took on the heavy responsibility of defending Embiid to a certain extent, and once caused consecutive fouls on the court, but Griffin finally had no advantage in confrontation and was unable to work with Clarkston to stop Embiid from raging.
It's just that Griffin even has a crosshair of 7 of 16, especially 1 of 5 outside three-pointers, but it is precisely the key three-point shot in the final moment, and he received Durant's wonderful pass and hit a three-pointer with 1:13 left to help the Nets gain a seven-point advantage to lay the victory. Griffin proved his worth with the second highest score of the game and repaid Nash's trust in getting him back into the game.
