In this game between the Nets and The Pacers, the focus of the game must be on Irving, which is his first appearance in the season to play a game, and finally Irving has 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 9-of-17 shooting, judging from his state on the court, or the offensive kaleidoscope Irving, the state is still very efficient. The net wasn't very good at halftime, but in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter, the Nets turned the tide of battle and the team won, ending a three-game losing streak.
Durant had 37 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists on 15-of-24 shooting, Harden had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists on 5-of-12 shooting, hardened passes were more comfortable when Irving was able to play, and when the Big Three were on the court together, the Nets were in a state of winning points. The Nets Big Three don't need a special run-in, because all three are the league's top scorers, and the division of labor is very clear, which is why the Nets have always been a favorite for the title.
It has to be said that when Irving is on the court, the team's offense is more fluid, and perhaps it will not be long before the Nets' offensive efficiency can enter the top three in the league, which is beyond doubt, and in this game against the Pacers, Irving's plus-minus is +16, which is the second highest data on the team, and it can fully prove the importance of Irving. After Irving's return, the Nets' wins will certainly improve a little, and the team's record is currently 24 wins and 12 losses, ranking second in the East, and perhaps there is a great possibility of becoming the first place in the East.
After the game, Durant also hugged Irving to welcome his return, and Harden also posted on his social media to celebrate: "It's good that you're back, King," Nash also retweeted Harden's remarks. The Nets' role player configuration this season is still very good, with Aldridge, Griffin, Mills, Brown, Bembry, James Johnson and Clarkston, etc. Although the interior may not have much advantage, the Nets have the strongest combination of attack in the league.
In fact, the Nets big three together on the court is not a lot, last season also because of injury problems, the core players missed a lot of games, this season the Nets need to maintain enough health, as long as the big three can stay healthy in the playoffs, then the Nets have a great possibility of winning the championship, I hope Nash can reduce the core players' playing time problem, but also look forward to Irving's next performance will be better and better.
