The NBA regular season is a focus game, with the Nets playing at home against the Grizzlies. At halftime, the Nets temporarily trailed 47-56. Throughout the first half, the situation presented was: four people fighting! Two of the two teams played well, and the joint battle was a 28-28 draw, evenly matched.
In the first quarter, the Nets made more mistakes, reaching 7 times in a single quarter. Therefore, they fought very depressed and were suppressed by their opponents. In the final single quarter, he lost 5 points 24-29. In the second quarter, the Nets still didn't improve much, scoring even worse than the first quarter, losing four more points at 23-27 and almost falling behind by double digits at halftime.
Still the same old way, the Nets are supported by two superstars. Both played about 20 minutes, with Harden shooting 5-of-9, including 2-of-4 from three-point range and 3-of-4 from the free throw line, and had 15 points and five assists. Durant, on the other hand, did not feel good, shooting only 5 of 16, 4 of 4 from three-point range, and had 13 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
The big two still lack helpers. The shortage of personnel still plagued the Nets, with Nash using only eight players to rotate in the first half, compared to 11 on the other side. In addition to the big two, Griffin scored 8 points and Clarkston 6 points, which is already quite capable, and the others have hardly contributed. It is foreseeable that the second half still depends on the double giants, especially Durant, who must find his touch and forcibly pull the shooting rate back to about 50% before there is any hope of reversal.
On the Grizzlies' side, it was also a two-man double-double, Morant had 15 points and 4 assists, Bane had 13 points and 5 rebounds, and the two joined forces against Duha without falling behind. The reason why the Grizzlies can lead is that in addition to these two people, there are many firepower points.
