On February 9, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Nets returned home. The Nets have been in a terrible situation lately, suffering eight consecutive defeats, falling from first in the East to seventh in the East. This time back at home, Harden was absent due to injury, Irving could not play, the big three could not play, the opening was completely exploded by the opponent, and the opponent was blasted out of the 28-2 super attack wave, this score is also a bit heartfelt.
Before this game, the Nets' latest injury report, Harden was placed in the suspect list, 50% of the possibility of playing. In a pre-game interview, Harden personally announced, "I'm not going to play tonight." This is also the third game that Harden has missed because of hamstring tension, and his absence is also a major blow to the Nets, and the Big Three will not have the opportunity to play.
Durant is still unable to play, Irving is unable to play at home, and aldridge, Harris and Clarkston are not able to play.
Without the Big Three, the strength of the Nets has also dropped by a large margin, but what people did not expect is that the opening was exploded by the opponent. The game played for more than 8 minutes, the Nets only relied on Griffin's mid-range to get 2 points, while the opponents bombed 28 points, the game seems to have lost suspense, which also made the Nets home fans boo. It wasn't until the last 4 minutes of the game that the Nets scored a second goal with James Johnson, followed by Carter's three-point shot to honor an 11-0 small offensive wave, which finally changed some face.
Without the Big Three, head coach Nash sent out the starting lineup this time: Mills, Brown, Bembry, Edwards and Griffin.
This is really no one available, the only one who can rely on Mills, from the performance of the opening game, the Nets this game to achieve the difficulty of turning over, the strength gap between the two sides is still a bit large.
