On December 31, Beijing time, the Nets played at home against the 76ers, and the Nets lost to the 76ers 102-110 at the end of the game. This game originally the Nets have greater hopes of winning, after all, the current Harden momentum is in full swing, more importantly, in this game, the Nets also welcomed back Durant and Aldridge, so this game the Nets undoubtedly have a lot of opportunities to beat the 76ers, but what people did not expect is that in this game, not only Embiid played a good performance in the game, there are more people around Embiid who stand up to help the team, and finally the 76ers narrowly beat the Nets.
These two heroes are Maxi and Little Curry, this game Little Curry's three-point state is not too good, but when the Nets began to fight back in the third quarter, Little Curry's play helped the 76ers stabilize the situation, and in the fourth quarter, Curry's three-point shot was also hit in time, which brought enough trouble to the Nets, as for Maxi, it broke out when the two teams played difficult to open the score, and Maxi's outbreak also directly helped the 76ers to open the score. Coupled with embiid's power nets completely lost the opportunity to reverse, Maxi had 25 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 10 of 18 in the game, and Curry Jr. had 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists on 6 of 13.
On the other hand, it is a pity that the Nets lost the game, after all, in this game Harden and Durant have played a very good personal performance, and finally both of them have scored 33 points in the game, but it is a pity that the Nets still failed to win in the end, of which Harden is also very innocent here, because in this game Harden has tried his best, but Harden is still subject to some complaints, after all, Harden has some problems in this game, 6 of which still lost 4 free throws, which caused some impact on the Nets. But in fact, Harden has already done his best in the game, without Harden, the Nets may have lost the game long ago, so Harden is also innocent in this game.
However, the Nets still have two major gains, the first harvest Clarkston played a very good performance after following the team to defeat the Lakers, this game Clarkston was once in the inside line to abuse the box, and more importantly, Clarkston and Harden and other people have played a good cooperation, so this matter is undoubtedly gratifying, after all, the current Nets inside line is still lacking, if Clarkston can maintain such a play for the Nets is a very critical thing, Clarkston finished the game with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. The second gain is that after Durant's return, Harden still maintains to play, in fact, harden in the previous game has always had ups and downs, and now Harden's outbreak occurs when Durant does not return, so it is doubtful whether Harden will become depressed after Durant's return.
But in this game Harden is to prove such a thing, when Durant returned harden is still maintaining his own offensive aggressiveness, his play in the game is to help the team stabilize the situation, so the Nets once played with the 76ers difficult to score, although the Nets eventually lost the game, but it is also worth seeing Harden's performance is also worthy of happiness. For the Nets, losing this game they should also reflect on it, in this game the Nets have too many mistakes, and 17 mistakes at the end of the game are difficult to end, especially when facing some strong teams, so many mistakes will make them pay a price.
