On January 11, Beijing time, the Nets lost 108-114 to the Blazers and did not win back-to-back. The Nets have swallowed five losses in their last seven games. The Nets lost this game because they faced the Blazers without Lillard, McCollum, Powell, Nance Jr., it can be said that the Blazers were a group of role players who defeated the Nets led by Durant + Irving, if you really want to find an excuse to lose - back-to-back second game, nash's interview after the game means that the loss is mainly a back-to-back physical problem.
Of course, the excuse of back-to-back physical losses is that fans will not buy it, because the Nets have lost 5 of their last 7 games, they have fallen from the first place in the East to the second place in the East, and they are currently only 0.5 wins away from the heat in the third place in the East, and the Nets are in jeopardy. Nash was verbally criticized, but Durant didn't seem to have anyone spraying.
Against the Trail Blazers, 42 minutes, 9-of-19, 2-of-7 three-pointers, 8-of-8 free throws, 28 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, shooting 47.4% from the field and 28.6% from three-point range. Playing for nine minutes in the final quarter, 2 of 6 had only 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and the key moments were unproductive, but the opposing Simmons and McLemore hit the key ball to seal the victory. Durant had the highest net loss of 15 points on the game.
Durant said after the game: "This kind of schedule everyone is very tired, I don't know if the coach arranges for me to take a break, but I will not take the initiative to take a break, before the coach let me rest I will play, whether it is playing for 40 minutes or longer, if they let me play I will play." In other words, Durant is not too tired, and his statistics are justified in not winning.
Durant returned on December 31 and did not miss seven games, averaging 38.8 minutes per game, scoring 30.1 points, 7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks, 2.6 turnovers, shooting 49.7%, shooting 30.2% from three-point range, the team was 5-2 wins, Durant averaged a team-high net loss of 8 points per game, and a total net loss of 56 points in 7 games.
No one criticized Durant after the game, right? As long as Durant gets good statistics, no one at the Nets feels that Durant should be responsible. LeBron is different, the 37-year-old scored 32 + 9 + 8 + 2 + 2 data in the field net negative 30 points was sprayed on the hot search, gold medal Zhan Black all kinds of mockery.
An American fan (who should have been a bit of a hit) said the key: Durant and Irving just lost to Anfinny Simmons and Ben McLemore, but people won't discuss that because he's not LeBron.
