Because Nash took a break from Durant and Mills, the Nets lost at home to the Thunder of the West, in this case, this game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Nash decisively let Durant and Mills come back, did not expect that there was an unexpected storm, Durant played the first quarter, the second quarter debut was mistakenly injured by teammate Brown, and then returned to the locker room, everyone was waiting for the results of Durant's MRI. Before that, NBA reporter Nick Friedell brought a new update from Durant.
NBA reporter Nick Friedell said that when Durant left the basketball tennis hall, some limping, obviously the injury is not simple, but he also said that this time the injury is not as serious as zaza Pachulia fell on him before. In this game, Durant only played 12 minutes and 22 seconds, and had 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 4-of-8 shooting.
In the case of Durant's injury and departure, James Harden still led the team to beat the Pelicans, and it was a big win, the whole game, Harden got 27 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists, the personal performance is impeccable, plus or minus +21 is also the highest in the team. In the past four games, Ha has averaged 26 points and 13 assists, once again showing the role of Haji stone. After the game, Harden also talked about Durant, harden said: At the end of the game, he talked to Durant and hoped that his situation was not bad at all.
Harden then said that it was very difficult to watch Durant leave the court injured, but it would not affect his ability to win the game. Nets coach Nash was interviewed after the game, and also talked about Durant's injury, still those very difficult words, but it reminded James Harden that Durant was absent and Irving could not play at home, Harden must play more time. However, many fans are worried that the Nets will repeat the same mistakes, and Harden's hamstring strain this season has become a watershed for the Nets.
It is worth mentioning that the Nets' next schedule is very difficult, starting with a four-game trip, against the Cavaliers and Wizards, and then going to the West to meet the Spurs and Timberwolves, which should not be underestimated. But the Devils schedule gave Durant enough rest, so why? Because of the road, Irving can play, with Irving and Harden joining forces, the Nets are definitely not afraid of any team, so Durant can rest at ease. If it is a home battle, it can only rely on Harden, and it is really difficult to say whether it will win or lose.
Therefore, this devil's schedule, met with Kevin Durant's injury, but it has become good news, the only hope is that Durant's injury is not a big problem, can return to the field as soon as possible.
