On January 11, Beijing time, the Nets played against the Blazers away, and the Nets lost to the Blazers in the end. The Nets did not take the lead in this game, but in the second half of the game, when the Blazers found their own outside three-point feeling, they successfully opened the score, and in the fourth quarter when the Nets tried to chase the points, Covington and McLemore's three points completely made the Nets lose the opportunity to reverse. And Durant and Irving have done their best in this game, looking at the Nets' current predicament, to be honest, the two of them really don't have much to do.
Although Irving's offensive form in this game is average, but there is no way to do it, you can't ask Irving to play an explosive performance in every game, and in this game Irving was almost injured, after the game when Talking about Little almost injuring himself in a scramble, Owen said: He is not a dirty player, but that action is a bit reckless, that action is completely unnecessary. I may have fractured my ankle or suffered some more serious injuries because of this action. This kind of action should not exist in our game, I understand Little's positivity, but this kind of action is completely avoidable. It can be said that this action is still quite dangerous, but fortunately Owen was not hurt, so it is understandable that Owen has such a statement.
At the same time, Irving also brought a good news, Irving said that he will play Thursday with the Bulls, it can be said that being able to see such news is undoubtedly exciting for the Nets, after all, the reason why the Nets can see the championship this season is because of their big three lineup, and the last time the Nets big three gathered together also won the game, now against the Bulls, the Nets are expected to gather the big three, when the Nets undoubtedly have a great chance to win. However, fans also have a lot of doubts about Durant's playing time, and Durant's voice after the game is also blunt, the reporter asked Durant what he thinks of Nash saying to find an opportunity to let him take a break, Durant said: No, let me die on the field, I joked. I don't worry about the coach arranging my playing time for each game, and I support the rotation, but I will not take the initiative to go to the rotation. Before the coach asked me to go to rest, I would play on the court. I don't think about it when I'm on the field, whether it's 40 minutes or more, I just play, and if they give me a break, then I rest.
It can be said that Durant is obeying the coach's arrangement, whether it is more time to play or rotation, obviously Durant still wants to do it according to the needs of the team, but one thing is that the nets now need Durant to play a lot of things, and even if it is not for Durant's health considerations, then it is not impossible for Durant to play the whole game, but treating Durant in this way is bound to have a careless risk of injury. So are the Nets really not saved now? Do you really need to use Durant a lot in the game? In fact, if the Nets do a little bit, they can save the team.
And this is to let the Nets Big Three be present at the same time, in fact, the Nets this team itself is a superstar team, their salary is mainly used for the Big Three, so at this time other Nets players are absent and disadvantaged, especially the current Nets are actually the lack of the third stable scoring point, but according to the previous settings, Irving is this, but now Irving has no way to play a full season, so as long as the Nets Three giants are missing, they will fall into some struggles in the game In the past, it was not obvious when Mills or Aldridge played in the game, and now when Aldridge missed the game when Mills was struggling in the game, the Nets had such a problem, so the Nets could save the Nets as long as they could get Irving in the home game, but it was easy for the Nets to do such a thing.
