In the NBA regular season that ended this morning, the Nets lost 104-124 to the Nuggets, they were not only swept by their opponents, but also suffered eight consecutive losses to the playoff zone, since Durant's injury, the Nets have only a 2-9 record.
In this game, Harden, who was deeply involved in trade rumors, was missing a left hamstring injury and did not appear on the team's bench. Although the Nets said Vinfield is in treatment, it cannot be ruled out that he has already embarked on a transfer matter.
Looking back on this campaign, in the first half, the Nets and Nuggets played a difficult point, and the two sides maintained a very high shooting rate, relying on Jokic's basket to attack into two 2+1, and the Nuggets led by 1 point. In the second half, the Nets had no stars, lost 15 points in the third quarter, the Nuggets quickly pulled the point difference to double digits, and in the last 5 minutes, Nash stopped replacing all the main players, and the game was over.
Irving, who led the team alone, was powerless to save the team, he played 41 minutes, 10 of 26 shots, including 3 of 9 three points, 4 of 5 free throws, and had 27 points, 5 boards, 11 assists, 1 break and 3 blocks, plus-minus of -19.
Asked about the level of concern for the team, Irving was eager to play at home and prayed for some turnaround before and after the All-Star, and staying healthy was key to the team.
Lakers star O'Neal commented that Irving's behavior is too selfish, if he is on the same team as him, he can't play the home game, he will not let Irving continue to stay. I have the opportunity to win together, but you don't cherish it, so please go somewhere else.
