On February 15, Beijing time, the Nets finally ended their 11-game losing streak, even if the new big three "Durant + Irving + Simmons" collective absence, but Curry Jr. and Drummond ushered in the debut. Curry Jr. became the number one contributor to saving the Nets, hitting 3 three-pointers in his first game on the franchise, having 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the Nets successfully beat the Kings to victory.
The Nets sent Harden and Millsap away in a big deal, getting Simmons, Curry Jr. and Drummond Jr., plus two first-round picks. Simmons has not yet returned to the state of being able to play, so Curry Jr. and Drummond made their debuts first, and because Irving could not play in the home game, Curry Jr. was directly pushed to the core of the attack.
Curry Jr. showed a strong desire to attack from the beginning, hitting the Nets' first goal of his career with a mid-range shot early on, and led the Nets to an 11-2 lead. The Nets then, led by Curry Jr. and Aldridge, continued to suppress the Kings' double-digit lead of 35-24 to 11 points in the first quarter.
Curry Jr. was not good at 1 of 5 of 3-pointers in the first half, but his breakthrough and shooting were extremely sharp, with 6-of-4 two-pointers in the first two quarters, thus getting 11+3+2 data on 5-of-11 in the first half, and even leading the team to a huge 19-point lead at one point. Curry Jr. added a very offensive threat to the Nets, and the core of the team, Durant, also talked to Curry Jr. off the court.
Entering the second half, Curry Jr.'s form improved further, and he continued to shoot and score in the third quarter, especially two three-pointers from the outside. Curry Jr. had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 5-of-6 in the quarter, leading the Nets to a 25-18 net win of 7 points in the single quarter, thus maintaining a 14-point advantage in the first three quarters.
As for the last quarter, Curry Jr. continued to lead the team to control the situation in an orderly manner, even if his offensive efficiency declined in the last quarter, it still helped the Nets end the decline of 11 consecutive losses, and joining the debut led the team to win to end the losing streak, which also proved the value of Curry Jr., he will be the right-hand man around the new big three.
It is worth mentioning that Curry also forwarded the video of the Nets official pushing and posting the ultra-far three points of Curry Jr., and wrote that "the 30th is back" to cheer for his brother.
