On February 3, Beijing time, the Nets lost 101-112 to the Kings and suffered six consecutive defeats, and the Kings ended a long 7-game losing streak. After swallowing this wave of six consecutive losses, the Nets have only 1.5 wins left with the Hornets in the seventh place in the East, and it feels that the Nets will have a hard time even keeping the seventh place in the East. The Nets were reversed at one point with a 12-point lead, and the final quarter was hit with a wave of 29-15, and the Nets looked extremely amateurish in the final quarter, perhaps the second game back-to-back was too tired.
The Nets were good throughout the first half, with 17 points and five rebounds in the half, Irving 12 points and 2 rebounds in the half, Mills 11 points and 2 rebounds in the half, but Irving scored 3 points on 1 of 7 in the second half, Clarkston scored 6 points in the second half, Mills scored only 3 points on 1 of 6 in the second half, Harden was the most depressed one in the 11 of the game, and he was 1 of 6 in the second half.
Harden scored 37 minutes, 2 of 11, 5 of 3-of-3, 4 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 block, 6 turnovers, 18.2% shooting, 0% three-point shooting, counting the VS Suns 6 of 19, 8 of 30 in two games, he was once again criticized, and he felt that he was a sinner in the team's loss.
Harden said after the game: "We are not worried about losing consecutive games, I have said many times, our lineup is incomplete, we are playing a very tough game, we are losing, hopefully after All-Star Weekend we can play all the way.
Coach Nash said: "It looks like the whole team is tired, I think Harden looks more tired, he is not physically good today, we actually did not fare well in the first half.
This campaign is the lowest scoring game in James Harden's career playing more than 30 minutes, it can be said that Harden swallowed a shameful record, but I think Harden should not carry the pot, Harden is playing with a hand injury, he was absent due to a hand injury before playing against the Sun Rain Kings back-to-back, he only came out with an injury for the team.
Irving's return to the Nets' record has not improved, Irving is back on January 6, the Nets total 16 games 6 wins 10 losses, Irving played 10 games 4 wins 6 losses, the winning rate is less than 50%, he is not the savior of this team.
The biggest problem is kevin Durant's absence, since he was injured against the Pelicans on Jan. 16, the Nets' record is 2-7, so Harden said he hopes to play all of them after the All-Star Weekend, he means that he hopes Durant can play, because he knows that with Durant's Nets, it is different, and the gap between Irving and Durant is too big.
