Today the Nets' Big Three finally got together and Irving made a comeback, scoring 22 points against the Pacers, including a 10-point super comeback in the final quarter. The Nets reversed the Pacers and ended their recent 3-game losing streak to continue to chase the Bulls at the top of the list. Durant remained efficient, dropping 39 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, Harden 18 points, five rebounds and six assists, and Clarkston, Ader and Bemburi also scored in double figures. In this way, Nash rose completely after welcoming the big three, ending the losing streak and performing strongly.
Irving proved to everyone in his first game of the season that he is still the omnipotent Irving. Even if it was a 0-pointer in the first quarter of the game, but after a quick positive adjustment, Irving's dribbling and layups are still familiar feelings. Including the key confrontation basket in the final quarter, it shows that Irving's physical condition and shooting feel are very good. In this way, the Nets' big three officially returned, and after the game, Irving also talked about the goal, that is, to impact the championship with the team, which also made the fans very excited.
Although ending the losing streak and welcoming back Irving, Irving could not play in the Home Game of the Nets without vaccination, and the Nets will also have the Devils schedule, they will play 5 games in 7 days, but also face the Bulls and Bucks, two teams that are their nemesis this season.
Looking at the Nets' schedule, from January 8 to January 14, for 7 days, the Nets will face the Bucks, Spurs, Blazers, Bulls and Thunder, of which the next 4 games are two sets of back-to-back, and these two groups only have 1 day of rest during back-to-back periods, which is not a small test for the Nets. It is worth mentioning that Irving can only play 2 games away from home against the Blazers and Bulls, that is to say, although Irving has returned, he can only play on the road because he can only play on the road, so he cannot play against the Bucks and others.
What you should know is that among the next opponents, the Bucks won the Nets in the regular season opener this season, and their current gap from the Nets is also very small, if the double kills the Nets, they can directly erase the gap and surpass in the ranking. As for the Bulls, they are number one in the East and have double-beat the Nets this season, winning 23 points in one game and 4 points in one game, so the Nets want to avoid being swept by opponents, and this game is not to be lost.
So although Irving returned, performed well, and the Nets' big three returned, the next test is still very big, and I hope nash's team can have good luck, their goal is the playoffs, but the regular season to run into the lineup and improve the ranking is also very critical.
