On March 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season fierce battle is in full swing, and the Nets and the Heat are in a showdown. One of the highlights of this game is that Durant has finally returned. Unfortunately, the Nets were unable to win the game. It should be known that the Nets once led the Heat by 16 points, but after four intense and exciting games, the Nets finally lost to the Heat by a score of 107-113. While losing the game, the Nets also suffered a wave of 3 consecutive losses.
Fortunately, Durant's performance has brought surprises to everyone, Durant's comeback debut is quite amazing, in the case of 35 minutes, Durant shot 10 of 21, shooting 47.6% from the field, cutting 31 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. At the same time, Durant performed 9-of-9 on free throws, which also allowed Durant to achieve 2 milestones.
One is a career regular season free throw shooting of 6189, which also allowed Durant to successfully surpass Petit and rise to 18th place in NBA history. The other is a career regular-season free throw shooter with more than 7,000 shots (7,008), and Durant also ranks 31st in NBA history. Consecutive milestones in his comeback debut are indeed a positive sign for Durant.
Because the game was played at home to the Nets, Irving was unable to play for the Nets. Although Durant played well, the Nets still failed to win the game. In the media interview after the game, Durant also expressed his views. Durant said he was in good shape for his comeback start, which also made him feel very solid.
Durant then talked about the Nets' three new signings, "This is the first time I've played with Drummond, Seth Curry and Dragic, I like to play with them, I believe that as time goes on, we will cooperate more and more tacitly." ”
On the one hand, the Nets suffered 3 consecutive losses, on the other hand, Philadelphia won 4 consecutive wins, Harden regained a new life in Philadelphia, and the Nets should regret it at this moment. After wearing the Philadelphia jersey, Harden showed great offensive aggression, averaging at least 25 points and 10 assists per game, such a brilliant performance is eye-catching.
More importantly, Philadelphia fans gave Harden enough respect. Harden made his Philadelphia home debut, and the Philadelphia fans cheered endlessly, and such a harmonious atmosphere also made Harden more motivated.
At present, the Nets and Philadelphia show a completely different competitive state, after the Nets formed the big three of Durant + Harden + Irving, which was originally a great opportunity for the Nets to rush to the championship. But what no one expected was that the Nets' big three rarely appeared together, and more in the form of a dual-core combination.
Last season's injury wave was indeed a pity, but this season due to Irving's personal reasons, once again disrupted the Nets tactical deployment. After a chaotic season, the Nets eventually sent Harden away. But is the Nets' problem really with Harden? Judging by Harden's performance in Philadelphia, he can still contribute to the team.
Don't know if the Nets regret it now? Durant's comeback debut is stunning, and it is still difficult to win. Instead, Harden regained his life in Philadelphia, showing that the Nets were paying for the wrong operation.
Now the Nets have suffered three consecutive losses, ranking 8th in the East. The Nets, which were originally aiming for the championship, hovered on the edge of the playoffs, and this situation really surprised the fans. Durant's comeback debut was stunning, but he still failed to save the Nets, which is also quite a helpless thing. As for what adjustments the Nets will make next, let's wait and see!
