On February 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Nets rushed to the South Coast to challenge the Heat. Previously, the Nets were in turmoil, the three giants were injured, they walked, the players were panicked, and by the time Harden left Philadelphia, the Nets had swallowed ten consecutive defeats, and new signings Drummond and Seth Curry had not arrived. The Heat have still shown their strength in the East this season, having won four consecutive games before today's game, and Hiro will also return in this game. Whether the Nets end a ten-game losing streak today or the Heat will win five in a row remains to be seen.
The game began with a tentative two-sided game, the Heat did not give the Nets defensive intensity, and the Nets played with excitement, and the score between the two sides has been staggered. As the net's only superstar on the Nets, Irving's offensive desire is not strong, only 3 shots, all of which are jump shots, scoring 4 points, while other role players are quite active, Griffin scored 5 points in the first quarter; J. Johnson scored 7 points, only to concede one three-pointer, plus the rest of the players' piecemeal Nets scored 26 points in the first quarter, the offensive firepower is acceptable. The Nets' killer skills did not come out, and the Heat naturally did not move, Jimmy shot 2 of 5 in the first quarter, scoring 6 points; Hiro and Strus's outside line were not opened; Lowry simply did not shoot in the first quarter, only 1 rebound and 1 assist. But with Dunroe's 4-of-2 three-pointer in the first quarter, the Heat were at ease with the Nets, and in the first quarter, the Heat also scored 26 points to draw with the Nets.
At the start of the second quarter, the Heat obviously did not take the Nets into account, and the defensive intensity was only reduced. The Nets side of Brown played brilliantly, since the Heat gave the opportunity Brown has no reason to be polite, first three-point shooting to maintain a balance, the advantage conversion 2+1 strong jimmy, highlighting a horizontal, single quarter cut 8 points; Cameron Thomas also had a good play, the first quarter of 3 shots 0 he showed his might in the second quarter, 8 shot 7 cut 15 points, including 2 shots 1 of three points, plus the rest of the players to help, the Nets scored 32 points in a single quarter. But did the Heat fall behind because of that? At all, the Heat firmly occupied the initiative of the situation, Gabe Vincent scored 11 points in the second quarter without playing in the first quarter, with inside and outside, a total of 5 shots; Paul's three-pointer still did not open, but also scored 6 points with free throws, and the Heat chose to face the Nets' offense and scored 38 points in a single quarter. At half-time, the Nets' sharpest two knives on the outside, Irving and Mills, failed to play, and the two shots a total of 3-of-13 in the first half, and the Nets fell behind the Heat 58-64 at halftime.
The third quarter began with a sudden change, the Heat first hit two consecutive goals 5-0, Nash saw that the situation had changed, the Heat was going to make a fierce move, and immediately called a timeout to rectify. But unfortunately, the Nets could not withstand the heat's strong momentum, with the Heat's pressure on the passing route, the Nets attack stagnated, frequent mistakes, the Heat took the opportunity to play a sharp counterattack, the score was quickly pulled apart. By the time Irving stopped the bleeding with three points and then eased the breath with a difficult shot, the Nets were still 18 points behind. At the end of the third quarter, the Heat's excitement passed, the state slipped significantly, and the Nets chased two points slightly, 18-27 in the single quarter, and trailed the Heat by 15 points at 76-91 overall.
The Nets continued to chase the momentum of the final quarter, the Heat made mistakes and made frequent waves, as Mills shot a three-pointer, the point difference came to 10 points, the Heat immediately suspended the adjustment, but in the last game the Heat still could not take points, played more than three minutes to win only one point, the Heat had to shout a timeout, and then the Heat's Strus shot a three-pointer to break the scoring drought, Irving was not willing to show weakness, the three-point response hit, and then the Heat began to wrap Irving, and the difference between the two sides was roughly floating within 7-9 points.
With the final whistle, the Heat won the game with a wave of offensive attack at the beginning of the third quarter, and the Nets suffered 11 consecutive losses. The Nets are in dire need of help from Seth Curry and Drummond, hoping that the Nets will end their losing streak as soon as possible, while we can expect the Heat to play in the playoffs.
