On January 7, Beijing time, Irving returned, and the happiest person was probably Durant. Irving's return debut gave Durant a huge share. However, the boss of this Nets team is still him, and in the game, Durant also let people see the boss style.
In this game, Durant shot 15 of 24 from the field, efficiently got 39 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and his form picked up. In the third quarter of the game, he helped his teammates on the field, and the scene of tit-for-tat was a scene that made people see the team's boss style.
With 4:38 left in the third quarter, Stephenson dribbled the ball at the back and faced Bemburi's close defense with a noticeable elbow strike that escaped the referee's decision. Bembry was quite dissatisfied with this, and he jumped violently and signaled the referee to have an elbow movement on his opponent.
The referee was unmoved, and Nash was also trying to persuade Bemburi to control his emotions. It is worth mentioning that when Bemburi was furious, Durant also expressed his dissatisfaction with the missed judgment.
Instead of letting the referee change the verdict, Bembry also suffered a technical foul. Seeing his teammates suffer such a big loss, Durant couldn't stand it.
In the following round, Harden also understood, dribbled through the half, and immediately handed it to Durant to single. Durant faced Stephenson's defense, elbowed the way, directly to the opponent, the signature emergency stop jump shot hit. The referee didn't blow the last leg, and this time he didn't dare to whistle. Durant retaliated with tit-for-tat, so tough, worthy of the team boss.
