On October 15, Beijing time, the Nets played at home against the Timberwolves! In the last Preseason Game for the Nets, Harden and Durant teamed up, but eventually lost the game. The Timberwolves were morale high, and they beat the Clippers by 28 points in their last game. The biggest attraction of today's two teams is the contest between the Nets duo and the Timberwolves!
It's clear that the recent Irving affair has had a lot of impact on the team, but fortunately, the Nets are trying to adjust their form. Coach Nash said before the game: "We will not continue to discuss anything about Irving, it is difficult to lose him, but the Nets are still full of talent, we still have a great chance of winning the championship! "And I believe that for other teams, they wish Irving could not play.
At the end of the first quarter, the away Timberwolves took the lead and led the Nets slightly at 30-27. Russell did not play today, Edwards took the lead, 4 of 9 in a single quarter, 3 of 3 from the free throws contributed 11 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, it is a pity that the outside three-pointers and 2 shots of 0 could not open. Towns then contributed 7 points and Beasley 6.
The Timberwolves' first energy-saving lead was won by Downs' final attack, with 1.2 seconds left outside the three-point line receiving the ball and the whistle scoring! But to say the most exciting thing is this ball, a fake fax burst, Towns easily passed Durant staged a violent hack!
Durant scored seven points in the first quarter, and Harden didn't make a good start to a single point with a free throw. The 36-year-old veteran Millsap is a partition when he meets rival Prince! Who said that the state of the god of rice has declined?
In the second quarter, the Nets began to exert their strength, playing a 30-19 wave of timberwolves in the single quarter, and successfully completed the rebound at the end of the half and led by eight points. Just one player on both sides scored in double figures, with Durant having 12 points, five rebounds and one assist in the half, and The Timberwolves contributing 13 points and three assists. Interestingly, Durant also spewed garbage talk with Beverley.
Harden played a key role in the second quarter, delivering five assists in a single quarter, first connecting Clarkston to catch a dunk, then showing a wave of live outside lines to get his own points, and finally successfully finding Durant at a 45-degree angle, who directly projected three points and continued to widen the point difference.
Easy side to fight again, the two teams played you and I are on par, the Nets single quarter 27-26 Timberwolves. The main players of the two teams continued to play, and Joe Harris still played steadily today, scoring three points in each quarter, and three points in the third quarter, 2 of 3 outside the line, and the highest 8 points in a single quarter. It is worth mentioning that Joha's salary is $75 million for 4 years! The Timberwolves also contributed eight points on the side of Hanako and Prince.
The scythe is shining and death is coming! Durant tore the defense straight into the inside line and exploded with both hands, Downs could only watch the score, and Adu's ball was also revenge.
Surprisingly, Nash did not take Duha in the last quarter, and the two continued to play for a short while. The Timberwolves are really tenacious, chasing in the fourth quarter, the final 27.5 seconds left in the game, the Wolves chased the point difference to only 2 points! It's a pity that the last two outside three-point shots were not scored, and congratulations to the Nets for their 107-101 victory over the Timberwolves and the preseason finale.
