The Nets are teams with the goal of winning the championship, and the Wizards can get into the playoffs even if the task is completed, these are two teams with far different strengths, today they played a game, and finally the Nets lost this game by double digits, and the win rate this season is only fifty-two percent, temporarily ranking eighth in the East. Basketball legend Barkley was interviewed and said that the Nets are giants, but they are sleeping, which is the most frightening thing.
The Nets weren't happy with the status quo, so they made changes to the lineup, replacing Harden with Curry's younger brother and Simmons at the start of the trade day, and although Harden's ability and fame were higher than Simmons, Simmons was a champion, and he was still very young and worthy of development. I think the Nets still have the Big Three, and the big question now is when they'll play at the same time and how many games they'll be able to play.
In this game, Durant and Harris could not play due to injury, Irving and Simmons also watched from the sidelines for personal reasons, the Nets sent starting players are Curry, Mills, Brown, Edwards and Drummond, and the bench also has Griffin and Aldridge, even if four starters miss the game, this team still has no shortage of stars. The Wizards' roster was much darker, with none of the players named to the All-Star team, starting players Kuzma, Bryant, Pop, Neto and Kispert. The wizards' roster depth and player fame are still inferior to the Nets, which lack major generals.
The first quarter was only two points apart, the Nets were in the lead, the second quarter of the two teams still performed decently, there was almost no place to shine, the Wizards were slightly better, after the end of the first half they completed the counterattack, the advantage is four points. The third quarter is like a copy of the second quarter, this time the protagonist is replaced by the Nets, they equalize the score, the two sides stand on the same running line into the fourth quarter, the last quarter becomes the Wizards' performance time, this section of the Wizards more and more courageous, the point difference widened to double digits, did not give the Nets a chance to chase points, the last quarter wizards scored thirty-nine points, and finally defeated the powerful Nets with a good performance.
The Wizards beat the Nets 117-103 and scored nine times in the game, with the Wizards leading by 14 points at most and the Nets leading by 5 points at most, with a 14-point difference after the game.
The Nets and Wizards lack superstars in the game, but the players we are familiar with are not few, although this game is not very exciting, but the confrontation is very fierce, the gap between the two teams in the first three quarters is not large, and the Nets just collapsed in the last quarter. The Wizards' Mills and Thomas scored more than twenty points in this game, but their teammates performed very average, while the Wizards' offense did more than a little blossoming, and eight players scored in double figures, and finally won by relying on the whole.
What depressed Nets fans was not only the result of the game, but also nash's remarks, who gave a post-game interview to the media and said it was unclear when Durant and Simmons would return. Irving can't play in the home game, Durant and Simmons don't know when they can play, and the Nets are not well-organized, which is the reason for their defeat.
