On December 17, Beijing time, the Nets played another victory today, facing the menacing Philadelphia 76ers, under durant's leadership, the team was all soldiers, five people scored in double figures (Durant 34, Griffin 17, Clarkston 17, Mills 14 and Thomas 11), and finally won the game with a 9-point advantage, the score was fixed at 114-105. The Nets' brightest star of this campaign is still Durant, who not only played the role of protecting rebounds and tandem teammates in the first three quarters, but also stood up in time when the team needed to score. In the final quarter, when the team was in trouble, Durant once again showed his true colors of death.
As soon as he was replaced, Death took out the classic killer skill, the middle distance 2 split the knife, and soon after, he saw Griffin appear empty, and the latter completed a two-handed dunk. Embiid, Milton and Danny Green scored consecutive points, at this time, Durant began to take over the game, facing Harris's defense, he directly pulled three points, the goal also caused the opponent to foul, the 76ers out of helplessness, can only choose to wrap him, Griffin saw the situation is not good to go forward to block, Death a wonderful pass to assist teammates to complete the desperate three-pointer, this ball directly takes away the game.
In this game, Durant is the absolute hero of the victory, and Griffin can be said to be the second hero. At the end of the game, Griffin played 31 minutes and 47 seconds, 7 of 16, slashed 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, and did not make a single mistake. Griffin's performance in the final quarter was the most critical, he let Embiid shoot 1 of 4 in defense, once caused Embiid to grab rebound fouls, and twice caused 76ers offensive fouls, which is his performance on the defensive end. On the offensive end, while Durant was resting, Griffin came up and hit two dollars.
One of them was 2+1, Griffin only hit a three-pointer in the whole game, but it was this three-pointer that determined the outcome of the game, after shooting this three-pointer, Durant was also very excited, and clapped his hands with him, it is clear that Death is very satisfied with the teammate's performance today. Griffin also had two major flaws in this game, first, his three-point shooting rate is not high, only 1 goal in 5 shots, but he is not soft on key balls; second, when he is on the field, the team lost 8 points. Still, the flaws are not hidden, and Griffin's performance tonight has covered up his shortcomings.
Griffin's performance this season has been ups and downs, once by Nash's snow, in the last 5 games, due to the impact of the epidemic, he got the opportunity to play again, following the last game to cut the 13 + 5 + 6 data, Griffin broke out again, it turns out that Griffin's fuel tank is still oily, he played 20-25 minutes is completely fine, Nash, it is not that he can't do it, but you did not give him enough playing time before. I have to say that the 32-year-old Griffin really tried his best tonight.
