Curry Jr. and Drummond ushered in the Nets debut of the season, Curry Jr. scored 23 points, Drummond 9 rebounds, which is the data they contributed in the first game, and it is really because of their contribution, the Nets ended their eleven-game losing streak, and repelled the Kings at home. And today the Nets will challenge the Knicks away, although it is an away game, but the Knicks are also a team in New York, so Irving still can't play this game, and the Nets' starting lineup is Curry Jr. + Mills + Brown + Drummond + Johnson lineup.
111-106！ The Nets have a rare two-game winning streak, while the Knicks have suffered a three-game losing streak. This game is indeed not easy to win, because it is New York, Irving can not play, the team can only rely on Curry Jr. and others; and the final result of this game is a big reversal, in the second quarter of the game, most fans think that the Nets this game is going to lose miserably, the Nets were spent, once fell behind by 28 points, but in the end the Nets rely on tenacity, rely on not giving up, rely on role players, completed this earth-shattering reversal, won this precious game.
The Knicks do have to reflect today! The team has played well, Randall shot 10 of 22 in the game, 31 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and Quakely has 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but why is the final result still a loss? Why is it still worse than arbitrary in the end? The team is currently in twelfth place in the East, and the team is 3.0 wins away from the tenth-place Hawks, not only because of this game, but so far this season, the Knicks are really disappointing.
As for the Nets being able to win in the end, it's thanks to four people! Curry Jr. is really critical in this game, and the three points on the outside line are one word: accurate! The 34-minute start time of the whole game, shooting 7 of 14, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 50.0% shooting rate, 20 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists, plus or minus +27 in the whole game, the net win of 27 points, in other words, if Curry Jr. is a little bit ironer in this game, the 28-point game will not be reversed. The second person to thank is Drummond, Drummond really did a good job in this game, one person grabbed 19 rebounds, including 5 rebounds in the frontcourt, Drummond such an interior level player exists, for the nets later, it is also a sense of security!
And the most crucial thing, in my opinion, is the next two people! The first is Brown, Brown is really the kind of player who is silently dedicated, does not need a little fame and profit, although the whole game only has 9 points and 5 rebounds, but in the end Mills and Ade's mid-range shooting is not hit, it is Brown who scrambled to grab the frontcourt rebound at the key moment, and it is also the rebound that locks up the game. The other is Thomas on the bench, really, after Harden left, Thomas seems to be released, as if Harden in the past delayed Thomas, the data is very good, the bench debuted 29 minutes, 21 points of the team's highest score, there are 4 rebounds and 2 assists data, followed by the big heart at the end. The Nets led by three points, and to be honest, Nash's arrangement was a bit of a shock, Nash actually did not put the good Curry on the court, but took the rookie Thomas.
The decision must have been incomprehensible at the time, but for Thomas's personal reasons, Nash's decision went from a mistake to a wise one. Thomas desperately chose a personal single, a step away from the three-point line, and a difficult shot to complete the hit, completely killing the game. A rebound from Brown, a three-pointer from Thomas, their two last heroes, saved not only the Nets, but also the head coach Nash, if it were not for their two final actions, maybe Nash would have to be scolded again today!
