In an NBA regular season game that ended earlier today, the Nets lost back-to-back to the Kings and swallowed a six-game losing streak, Odense's double star fell, and the Kings stopped a seven-game losing streak.
At the beginning, the two sides played fiercely in the first half of the first quarter, with alternate leads, and the Nets led by 9 points in a wave of 11-0 in the second half. In the second quarter, the two teams engaged in a tug-of-war around a 10-point difference, with the Kings blasting a 9-0 offensive and Mills hitting three consecutive points to stabilize the situation. Halftime, the Nets 62-54 Kings.
On the easy side, Griffin scored five consecutive points to help the Nets maintain the lead, after which the Kings fought back, playing an 8-0 offensive attack, and the Nets' advantage was eroded to three points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Kings continued to turn the situation around, Harden made mistakes, and the Nets were gone. In the end, the Kings reversed the Nets, ending a 7-game losing streak while giving their opponents 6 straight losses.
Continuous high-intensity combat finally crushed Ou Shenxian, who had a poor hand and scored 14 points on 5 of 15, and only scored 2 points on 1 of 7 in the second half. Outrageously, Harden was completely out of shape, shooting 4 points on 11 shots, plus 8 boards, 12 assists and 6 turnovers.
In this regard, the coaches of both teams commented on Harden's status. Nash felt that he was not very tired, but that he did not have the strength of his legs and feet, and there was no oil in the team's fuel tank. Kindry was incredulous, saying he had never seen Harden play 37 minutes only to score four points. Nets star Corey Kitters bluntly said that the Kings were playing with pride, and the Nets had no leader to stand up.
