On February 17, Beijing time, the New York derby came, and the Knicks played at home to meet the Nets! In the last game, Nets new signings Sescuri and Zhuang Shen made their debuts, and Curry Jr. scored a team-high 23 points to help the team end an 11-game losing streak. Because of New York's epidemic prevention regulations, Irving is still unable to play today, and James Johnson replaced Edwards in the previous game as the starter.
The good news is that the new mayor of New York City before the game, Eric Adams, said of Irving's inability to play without vaccinations: "I think these regulations are very unfair, unvaccinated away players can play at barclays center, but home players can't, to be honest I'm struggling at the moment." ”
There are also fans who are worried about Durant's injury, asking when Adu will be able to return, to which coach Nash said: "KD has a small chance of playing in the first few games after the All-Star end, and the team wants to treat him very carefully so that he can play in the playoffs healthily." "Guys can only wait any longer.
The Knicks have suffered two consecutive losses, and today everyone is in good shape, with a three-point breakthrough and a 22-9 direct start to the Nets. With Randle scoring a tough layup, the Nets trailed by 20 points at the end of the first quarter at 18-38! The Knicks made 8 of 11 outside the team in the first quarter, while the Nets shot just 1 of 13. Recently, Lan Dou went again, shooting 5 of 7 in the first quarter, scoring 14 points on 3-of-2 three-point range, and 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
In addition to Randall, Fournier and Grimes each contributed eight points. The Nets' highest score was 5 points from bench Ade, and the only three-pointer in the first quarter was scored by Curry Jr. Look at the ball, Gibson's stud board hat under the basket is too showy.
There was really no chance, and in the second quarter, Redish and Quirkley brushed two more three-pointers, and the Knicks once again stopped the Nets 12-5. Seeing that the point difference was about to reach 30 points, fortunately, in the final period, the Nets' continuous shooting stopped bleeding and the advantage of the Inside Line, and the Nets ended at halftime 44-65 Knicks.
Fournier scored 11 points in the second quarter, and Randle scored 2 of 3 in the second quarter, scoring a game-high 20 points at halftime, plus 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. No one on the Nets scored in double figures, and Griffin only appeared in the second quarter, contributing 8 points on 3-of-4 shooting, 3-of-3, which was already the highest score for the whole team at halftime. One-arm dunk + forced to eat the inside line, see the performance of Zhuang Shen.
Easy to fight again, Zhuang Shen came up to be a 2+1, Curry Jr. and Mills also opened the outside line, and the Nets gave back 8-0 to the opponent. Soon it was Curry Jr.'s three-point + passing organization, and I didn't expect that there were more than 6 minutes left in the third quarter, and the Nets had chased the point difference to single digits.
Randle had to make consecutive fouls on the free throw line, and the team's outside line maintained a good feel, and the Knicks still led the Nets by 14 points in the third quarter. In the third quarter, the Nets were 29-22 Knicks, and they scored 7 points in a single quarter.
In the final quarter, Curry Jr. big heart three points, Johnson tough 2+1, key moments Thomas hit consecutive shots, the game has more than 4 minutes to play the two teams to 97 draws! Seeing Johnson's success in forcing Randall, Durant on the court stood up.
Soon Randle broke through to give a response, and it was Curry Jr.'s strong three-pointer, and with Ader shooting, the game only had more than 40 seconds left, and the Nets led by 3 points. Unfortunately, the Knicks failed to shoot and missed rebounds consecutively, and in the last moment, Thomas actually came to a far three-pointer and steadily killed the game! Finally the Nets 111-106 completed the reversal!
Thomas was so showy that he only scored 3 points in the first half, and in the fourth quarter, he shot 7 of 10 from the field, 1 of 2 of 3-pointers, and scored 16 points to lead the team to reverse! Contributed a team-high 21 points. Curry had 20 points and six assists, Drummond had 11 points, 19 boards and two assists, Johnson had 14 points, 7 boards and 5 assists, and Aldridge had 18 points and 10 boards.
On the Knicks side, the game led by up to 28 points! Helplessly reversed by the opponent. Randall 31 points, 10 boards and 3 assists, Fournier 16 points, 2 boards and 3 assists, Walker 9 points and 3 assists, Grimes 8 points, 2 boards and 2 assists, Gibson 6 points and 8 boards, Quakeley 18 points, 6 boards and 4 assists.
