With Curry Jr. and Chuang Shen making their debuts for the new team, the Brooklyn Nets are finally out of the haze of losing streaks and can even take the first step in a winning streak. And this time they returned to the home game, ushered in the challenge of the Washington Wizards. As a team that no longer has superstar players, the Wizards still have a lot of difficulties in continuing to play in the playoffs this season. But do we have to admit that after bradley Beal, the team's big boss, suffered an injury that was reimbursed for the season, Kuzma was also able to play a good role as a stadium commander in the team.
So, what kind of sparks will burst out of this duel between the two sides? At the beginning of the game, the Nets, who played at home, were still able to take the lead and gain a slight lead. Curry Jr. delivered 6 points, 1 rebound in the first quarter, and Spurs veteran Mills also had 5 points and 1 rebound, and substitute Thomas had 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal. With the blossoming of players on the team, the Nets hit a 28-26 single-quarter score and took a 2-point lead. And entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Wizards, who are in a state of backwardness, can also fight back.
Although Mills had 12 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block data in the second quarter, the Wizards played a high state of full strength, sending a 29-23 single-quarter score, not only recovering the 2 points behind in the first quarter, but also achieving a 4-point reversal with a 55-51 score at halftime. The situation has finally reversed, with both teams having a chance to win the game. The Nets, who were in a backward state, counterattacked. Curry Jr. scored 2-of-4 from three-point range in the quarter, sending out 6+1+1 stats, and Aldridge also contributed 9 points and 3 rebounds to help the team play a 27-23 score.
By the time they reached the crucial final showdown, the two sides were back on the same starting line to continue the next competition. But in the regular showdown in the fourth quarter, the Wizards' bench players went on a series of efforts, with Hachimura sending 13 points and 1 rebound on 7-to-6 shooting, and Ismail Smith also had 11 points and 4 assists to help the team play a 39-25 score, thus achieving the final victory of the game with an aggregate score of 117-103. It is worth affirming that the Wizards were able to seal the win, thanks to the team's bench players.
Indeed, looking back at the specific statistics of the game, the Wizards' four bench players scored double digits, and the five rotating players once scored a key 65 points, which was still much better than the team's starters. Among them, the most surprising thing is the Japanese young player Hachimura: he sent the team's highest score of 20 points in the 27 minutes of the bench, effectively alleviating the overall scoring pressure of the team! On the other hand, the Nets, who lost at home, although they lost the game, but there are also many remarkable highlights.
Spurs veteran Mills, who started the game, scored a game-high 22 points of 5 of 7 from three points, as well as 2 rebounds and 3 assists, while Aldridge, who came off the bench, also had 16 points and 4 rebounds. When there were still superstar players on the field before, the Spurs Xuan Di Second Elder had saved the field many times, but now he had no choice but to enter the empty cutting group, which was really regrettable. The results of the facts once again prove that the Nets want to get back on track and wait for the return of the team's superstar players.
