The Nets suffered a 16-point reversal! Adebayo 30+11 tyrannical interior Durant scored 31 points and left the game lonely
On March 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in a confrontation between Eastern teams. The no. 1 Heat faced the eighth-placed Nets, with both teams losing by one point to their opponents in their last game.
The Nets have recently been affected by injuries to their main players, and their overall performance has been very struggling, suffering a wave of two consecutive losses. The Heat ended their four-game winning streak after losing to the Bucks.
Before the game, the Heat manager had confirmed that Butler and Tucker would miss the game, and the Nets official tweeted that Durant would officially return.
The starting line-ups of the two teams today are:
Nets — Dragic, Curry, Durant, Brown, Drummond
Heat – Vincent, Dunroe, Strus, Adebayo, UteSevon
Section 1:
Dragic hit a three-pointer to help the Nets score the first point. After several unsuccessful attempts, the Heat finally found the feel of the shot, and the scores of the two teams began to rise alternately. Strus complained that the referee had eaten a technical foul, and Durant and Curry directly joined forces to create an 8-0 wave of scoring to help the Nets take a 15-7 lead.
At 7:22, the Heat requested a pause.
The game continued, and Zhuang Shen completed the dunk, successfully handicating the point difference to 10 points. Fortunately, Adebayo played 2+1 to help the Heat stop loss in time. But the Nets continued to maintain a very fluid offense, and with Mills' bottom-corner three-point shot, the Nets took a 26-13 lead to 13 points.
At 4:10, the Heat again requested a pause.
Back from the suspension, the Nets chose to let the main force rest, and the Heat took the opportunity to catch up with a wave of scores, but the difference between the two teams remained in double digits. The final first quarter of the game ended, the Nets 35-23, leading the Heat by 12 points.
The comeback of Durant was very hot, he shot 4 of 6 in the first quarter, scored 9 points, and successfully helped the team successfully pull the score apart in the middle of the first quarter.
Section 2:
Hiro scored four straight points to bring the deficit back to single digits. But immediately Dragic and Curry responded immediately, and the two helped the Nets 40-27, opening up the point difference again.
At 9:27, the Heat requested a pause.
Back in the game, Hiro managed to score 2+1, and the point difference returned to 10 points again. At 7:51, Durant was back on the court. The two teams fought a big battle, and Mills fired no shots outside the three-point line, already 4 of 4. Brown then hit the same three-point shot, already giving up the point difference to 16 points.
However, the Heat immediately returned a wave of scoring, and the score was chased to 50-57. Durant stepped up at the crucial moment, and he managed to play 2+1 to help the Nets once again give the lead to 10 points. Durant then turned on Death mode again and scored 8 points in a row.
But then Durant was directly blown a technical foul for his theory with the referee. Martin pressed a 24-second three-point shot to help the Heat trail by seven points at halftime, 60-67.
Section 3:
Yi Bian fought again, and Spoo complained that the referee had eaten a technical foul, which was already the third technical foul in today's game. However, Adebayor's offense was a bit unstoppable, and the point difference between the two teams was basically maintained at 5 points. However, under the leadership of Adebayor, the Heat played a wave of 14-7 in this quarter, directly chasing the score to 74 draws.
At 7:25, the Nets requested a pause.
The game continued, with Martin helping the Heat score back. The Nets' offense stalled in this quarter, and there were many low-level mistakes, and after Hiro's three-point shot, the Heat 81-74, the lead came to seven points, and the situation was completely reversed. Today Adebayo is completely on the inside line to penetrate the Nets' defense, and before the third quarter is over, it is already a statistic of 25 points and 7 rebounds.
At 4:31, the Nets requested a pause.
Back from the timeout, James Johnson finally helped the Nets get two points. The final third quarter ended, and the Heat led by 4 points 88-84. The Nets' overall offense this quarter was not good, with multiple three-point shots missing, and the defense was a bit too loose.
Section 4:
In the final quarter of the competition, the two teams are still playing hard to solve, and the point difference is always maintained in two offensive rounds. But then Adebayor completed 2+1 in the air connection, and the point difference became 6 points. Durant, who was sitting on the sidelines, also had a helpless face, and after Hiro finished the layup, the Heat's lead became 8 points.
At 6:56, the Nets requested a pause.
The game continued and Durant returned to the court. Fortunately, Adebayor made the fifth offense in a defensive attack and was replaced to give the Nets a breather. But the Heat's outside line at this time began to exert force, and after three consecutive points, the point difference was widened to more than 10 points.
But then Brown and Durant stepped up, and the two teamed up to score 10 points, and a wave of 10-0 helped the team chase the point difference to only 2 points. In the final stages, Brown became a miracle soldier, and he contributed a strong personal performance on both ends of the attack and defense, not only able to block the block, but also grabbed key rebounds.
After the two teams missed several shooting opportunities in a row, Adebayor still used a tough single to give the Heat a four-point lead again.
At 35.5 seconds, the Nets requested a pause.
Back from the game, Durant's mid-range shot failed to hit, and the Heat got the ball. In the end, the Heat defeated the Nets in a 113-107 reversal, and Durant also went to the locker room very lonely after the game.
Durant returned perfectly, and the team had no choice but to lose
After a period of absence, Durant made his comeback at home today. The returning Durant was completely unsuspecting, and scored nine points with his steady mid-range shooting in the first quarter to help the team establish a leading edge. In the second quarter, when the Heat began to catch up with the score, Durant turned on the Grim Reaper mode again, 2+1 plus stable three-pointers, directly 8 points in a row to stabilize the situation, in the first half he was already 17 points, announcing his perfect return.
In the end, Durant contributed 31 points, but the team eventually lost.
