Beijing time on January 13, the Nets today in the face of the Bulls finally won a round, the big three combined, the Nets played the most enjoyable attack of the season, in addition, on the defensive end, the Nets also put enough pressure on the Bulls, played DeRozan is very speechless, the time of suspension DeRozan showed his natural divine power, directly tearing his towel in half when sitting down. In the first half, the difference between the two sides was only 2 points, but in the second half, the Nets, led by Durant, blasted a wave of 39-19, and in the fourth quarter, the Bulls, who were behind by a large margin, made five consecutive mistakes, and the Nets also laughed and accepted the gift, and used the mistakes to counterattack five times.
In the end, Donovan coach Mingjin closed the army, Nash side also withdrew the main force, the Nets with a 26-point advantage to win the opponent, the score is fixed at 138-112. In this game, the Nets are all soldiers, and the three players who perform best are Harden, Durant and Mills. Harden scored steadily in the first half with 3-of-8, playing 33 minutes, 6-of-13, hitting a super double-double stat with 25 points and 16 assists, in addition to picking up 7 rebounds, including a season-high number of assists. In the final quarter, Ravin and DeRozan remained on the court, and after Harden hit a three-pointer, he assisted his teammates in succession, and DeRozan finally had no temper left.
Durant made 6 shots in the third quarter with 4 shots in the first half, hitting 4 goals, the efficiency was amazing, in this quarter of the game, he bombed 17 points, a new season record, the whole game, the Grim Reaper only shot 10, hit 7 goals, cut 27 points, 9 assists and 2 steals, due to the large point difference, the Grim Reaper sat on the bench in the fourth quarter, did not appear again, his plus-minus +23 was second only to Harden's +24 among starters. Mills finally ushered in a big outbreak after a sustained downturn, and he played 21 minutes and 47 seconds off the bench, 7 of 10, scoring 21 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, plus or minus +33 in the game.
After Irving's return, Mills was relegated to the bench, his offensive pressure dropped greatly, and the Big Three attracted the attention of defense for him in this game, Mills finally got a good shooting opportunity, and he also lived up to expectations, 6 of 8 from outside the three-point line. According to NBA reporter Andy Bailey, when Mills was on the floor, the Nets had a net win of 8.3 points per 100 possessions, while when Mills was not on the floor, the Nets had a net loss of 8.9 points per 100 possessions. In addition, Mills has scored 5+ three-pointers in 11 single-game attempts so far this season, setting a new career record.
In addition to these three people, there is another person whose performance is also very important, and this person is the rookie Sharp. Due to the outstanding performance in the past few games, the Sharp partner Edwards and the Big Three entered the starting lineup, he played only 21 minutes and 40 seconds, 10 of 14, cut 20 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, including a new personal high, the sharp of this game to six fouls to leave the court, called the inside of the small magic beast, in the case of Sharp's main defense, the Valkyrie only played 5 of 13 in this game. In the last game, Sharp cut 14+7 6 of 6, and this one directly cut 20+7, and it turned out that Sharp was a very strong inside player.
He is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 119 kilograms and has great potential. Sharp's defensive experience may not be as good as Clarkston's, but he dares to fight, dares to grab, is more active, and has a better ability to eat cakes. This season, Sharp has only been given 14 appearances, tonight is his first start of the personal season, he has not lived up to the expectations of the fans, Sharp used the action on the field to directly illustrate a truth, not that he could not do it, but Nash did not give him a chance. I believe that after these two games, Sharp will be reused.
