In this game between the Nets and Nuggets, Harden was doubtful before the game, and in the end he was not able to play, of course, the fans still hope that Harden can return to full health before playing. Irving this game single core led the team, the team's performance in the first half was OK, the offensive end was still very good, but the second half of the game nets performance is very bad, whether the offensive end or the defensive end is not as good as the Nuggets, the Nets only got 29 points in the second half, and finally the Nets also lost the game.
Irving had 27 points, five rebounds and 11 assists on 10-of-26 shooting, including the first assist in the game, but there was no way to stop the loss. After the game, Irving was also interviewed, and when it came to the performance of the team, Irving said: "I like the team's efforts, but I still think we sometimes lose our minds. "The Nets have now lost eight straight and were originally number one in the East, but now the record is very bad, and when Durant will return, it is not very certain.
The Nets Big Three are all the league's top offensive players, of which Durant and Harden are still MVP, and the Healthy and Complete Nets are the favorites for the title, but how to keep them healthy and intact is a problem. The number of big three appearances at the same time is not very high, and the Nets' role players are still very good this season, with players like Mills and Aldridge, and even young players Thomas and Sharp doing well now, but the Nets need to solve some other problems.
In addition to Irving, Mills scored 14 points, Griffin scored 19 and Thomas scored 20 points. In fact, the Nuggets are also missing two core players this season, but the Nuggets' fighting spirit is much better, which is what all teams need. The Nets now need to address the problem of losing, and eight straight losses are bad for a team, not to mention that the Nets are a championship-fighting team, not a rebuilding team in the league.
All kinds of problems in summary, as long as Irving can get an injection, in fact, many problems will be solved, but Irving's attitude is still relatively firm, although Durant is Owen's friend, but this matter seems to be difficult to solve. Harden joined the Nets is to win the championship, and is willing to play the main control for the team, playing for a long time, of course, Harden did this to win, but now the Nets lose more, plus Nash's employment adjustment also has some problems, so the Nets also have some trading rumors, hoping that the Nets management can solve the problem.
