On January 20, the NBA regular season ended a focus battle, the Nets 1-point advantage over the Wizards, this season double-kill opponents. The game was full of ups and downs, with the Nets maintaining the lead for most of the time, with Irving, Ade and Mills playing well, but by the end of the quarter, the Wizards narrowed the gap to one point, and the suspense of victory and defeat increased sharply. At the crucial moment, Irving and Ade stepped forward and scored consecutive key goals, with Kuzma and Dinwiddie conceding killer balls. In this way, the Nets successfully won the victory and refused to be reversed by the opponent.
In the last moments of this game, Harden almost became a sinner, this is the last moment of the last quarter, when Irving missed the shot and took the rebound himself, he gave Harden an attack, Harden blocked the burst into the ball and stepped forward to shoot, but unfortunately was blocked by Harrell's big cap. At this time, the Wizards did not pause, and they were one point behind and had one last chance to attack and kill.
Unfortunately, Kuzma and Dinwiddie did not score the deadly goal, so Harden's mistake was also recovered in time. You must know that if the Nets are killed by the Wizards' final attack, then Harden's shot is blocked, and it will be the biggest sinner.
In this game, Harden cut an alternative quasi-quadruple-double, he scored 18 points, 8 boards and 9 assists, and 8 turnovers, plus-minus -8, together with Edwards is the lowest in the team, it is indeed embarrassing. The number of mistakes is still Harden's biggest problem.
At the same time, in today's game in the last quarter, Harden did not stand up, which is very important, when Ade, Irving and Mills scored consecutive points, the opponent also continued to chase points, Harden's presence is not enough, and his play in this game is not satisfactory.
The Nets are next on the road against the Spurs and Timberwolves, which means Irving can play, and he is in good shape. But then the game against the Lakers was played at the Barclays Center, the home game will lose Irving, Durant is also injured, so Harden single-core to meet the Lakers, which is a test for the Nets. I also look forward to their next performance, trying to win more with Irving and Harden on the floor.
