Today, the NBA regular season continues with the Brooklyn Nets hosting the Milwaukee Bucks at home. This game can be said to be a confrontation between strong teams, because the Bucks were the NBA champions last season, and the lineup has not changed much, while the Nets have two big stars, Durant and Harden.
According to the rules, Irving can't play at home for the time being, so the Nets still have to rely on Durant to play this game. In addition to the game wins and losses, the Nets have a bigger point of view, that is, Durant's career total scoring record should be refreshed.
Before the game began, Durant's NBA career total was 24,812 points, just three points away from Patrick Ewing, the 23rd strongest points on the NBA's all-time total score list. In the first quarter, Durant easily scored 5 points, bringing his career total to 24,817 points, surpassing Ewing's 24,815 points.
Still ahead of Durant is 22nd place Jerry West, who has 25,192 NBA career points. Obviously, Durant is not very far from this goal, and after a few games, he should be able to easily complete the overtaking.
Durant is undoubtedly a very good scorer, and it is not difficult to surpass the NBA's all-time stars. But the Nets had a mediocre performance in this game, and they were already 19 points behind the Bucks with 6:25 left in the game. As a result, Nets coach Nash replaced his main player and announced that he would abandon the battle for game victory.
Although Durant's milestone has become "mileage sad", his personal ability has once again been proven. After Durant retires, he may be able to become the top ten scorers in NBA history.
