The NBA regular season continued, and the Nets' game against the Wizards officially began. Even though KD was out injured in this game, most fans predicted before the game that the Nets would win the game. Sure enough, after the game started, the Nets played very efficiently on the offensive end, and the defensive end was also very good at limiting the Wizards' offense. In the first quarter, the Nets led by five points. In the second quarter, the Nets led by 12 points. At the end of the third quarter, the Nets still hold a double-digit lead. In the end, the Nets defeated the Wizards 119-118 in the fourth quarter.
Objectively speaking, although the Wizards lost this game, the resilience shown by the Wizards is worthy of recognition. For example, Kuzma played 31 minutes, shot 5-of-11, and got 16 points and 6 rebounds. In the final game, Kuzma scored a three-pointer to help the Wizards chase only one point. Beal played 36 minutes, shooting 7-of-18, including 3-of-7 from three-point range, and had 23 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Although the shooting percentage is not high, Beal is the most stable player in the second half. Of course, the performance of players such as Dinwiddie, Harrell and Yamura is also remarkable.
Okay, after talking about the losing Wizards, let's talk about the Nets who won. As for the overall trend of the Nets in this game, I will not give you a description here, after all, this is not something that can be clearly explained in one sentence or two sentences. However, the editor of this article would like to focus on giving you a focus on Irving's player. Irving played 37 minutes in this game, shooting 13-of-23, including 2-of-8 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, and got 30 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. Obviously, just from the statistics, you can see how well Irving has performed in this game. For Irving's performance in this game, we can fully describe it as "offensive kaleidoscope".
Even the phrase "playing with defenders" to describe Irving's strength is not an exaggeration. Fans who have watched the game will know how much Irving played on the offensive end of this game. Irving's offensive means are too rich in one-on-one, and on the offensive end, Irving can break through, shoot, can score three points, and can pull out. Conversely, if you encounter a bag clip Irving can also pass the ball, but also through the cover of teammates to complete the shooting. Overall, as long as Irving wants to score he has all kinds of ways to score, facing such a player is simply a defender's nightmare. Even the on-site commentator teacher couldn't help but sigh and said: "Avdia and Owen have a broken mentality, and he is a little suspicious of life." In this sentence alone, we can feel whether Irving's offensive strength is solved.
I don't know, what do you think of Irving now? Anyway, I only have one assessment of Irving, and that is that "Irving is the strongest player in the active team.". Even though Irving hasn't played some time ago, he can control the game as long as he plays, and he can still take over the offensive end. However, it is indeed a pity to see Irving Nets fans who have performed so well. The reason is that Irving can only play in away games, which is a loss for the Nets. Especially in the playoffs, and even in the Finals, Irving may become a major obstacle to the Nets' progress.
