Games from the Nets and the 76ers.
The two sides of the game can be described as a twist and turn, the Nets in the first half of the lead of 18 points, the third quarter was forced by the opponent, the end of the fourth quarter was even tied, and finally under durant's outbreak, the Nets had a thrilling 114-105 win, ushering in a four-game winning streak while giving the 76ers a wave of three consecutive losses.
Personally, Embiid scored 32 points, Curry Jr. also scored 29 points on 13-of-21 shooting, and only three of the 76ers scored in double figures, and the team's three-point shooting rate was only a dismal 29.4%. On the Nets side, Harden and Ader continued to miss out, Griffin 17 points, Mills 14 points, and the team scored a total of 5 people in double figures.
If the Nets can win, it still depends on Durant!
In the 39 minutes of playing time, Durant contributed a game-high 34 points on 13-of-24 shooting, plus 11 rebounds and eight assists. Among them, he scored 13 points in the fourth quarter of 7 of 7, a 3+1 at a key moment and an assist (Griffin hit a three-pointer) to help the team seal the victory, and the MVP's shouts were louder in the field.
I have to say that Durant's recent state is indeed quite hot, not counting this game, his last three games of data are:
Against the Raptors, he had 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists on 12-of-29 shooting;
Against the Pistons, he had 51 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists on 16-of-31 shooting;
Against the Hawks, he had 31 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists on 12-of-22 shooting;
It is not difficult to see that in Harden's absence, Durant not only completed the scoring task well, but also was remarkable in organizing the tandem team, with a total of 28 assists in the last three games.
Thanks to his recent performances, Durant has averaged 29.7 points per game this season, ranking first in the league, and gradually shrugging off the alphabet brother and Curry behind him.
It is worth mentioning that in the 27 games currently playing for the Nets, Durant has scored 30 points in 13 games, also ranking first among all players.
Therefore, Durant continues to play like this, the scoring king is estimated to be appropriate, others have no chance at all, and from the perspective of comprehensive team records and personal data, it is not impossible for Durant to get MVP this season.
However, it is also worth saying that Durant has averaged 36.9 minutes per game this season, including more than 40 minutes in four games since Entering December, with the least being 38 minutes up and down.
You know, Durant is a player who has been seriously injured, not to mention, it is only the regular season, which must not be played in the playoffs? Of course, if it weren't for the Nets' team situation there, I believe Nash would not have done so.
The Nets have seven games left this month, including many difficult opponents such as the Nuggets, Lakers and Clippers, when the Nets want to win the game, it is far from enough for Durant to play alone, more people must stand up.
