On March 9, Beijing time, the NBA's regular season officially began to enter the end, the game is less than 20 games, the lineup of major teams is almost the same, so the NBA during this time is actually the best looking, the lineup is neat and has its own target task to sprint, these players with annual salaries of tens of millions of dollars will show real strength to fight every game.
To say that the most disappointing team this season, the East and west have their own representatives, the West needless to say that the Los Angeles Lakers, who threatened to win the championship again before the season, have now struggled and hovered on the edge of the playoffs. The most surprising nature in the East is the Nets, the super big three lineup did not expect to play together has not exceeded the triple digits, scattered run-in also let the team's record all the way down, is also in the East playoffs on the edge of the effort.
Today's ninth-place Nets in the East are against the Hornets in the East, and before the season began, no one ever thought that they would fight for a playoff ticket, and in the minds of fans, these two teams are not in one dimension at all, and no one will feel that the Hornets will still suppress the Nets in the number of wins and losses.
The good news is that although today's Nets are not yet a fully formed lineup, the team's top scorer Harris is completely reimbursed for the season, and another All-Star Simmons, who has not grown up, has been delayed for various reasons, so that the Nets are always one step away from the final mature system, and the head coach Nash's playing style system cannot be tested.
But I have to say that superstars are easy to use, today the Nets' Durant and Irving appeared at the same time, these two brothers appeared at the same time for a long time, so the Nets fans are also in front of the TV early. The Nets also lived up to the expectations of the fans, the first quarter showed the strength of the crush, although my current record is not as good as yours, but as long as there are superstars at the same time, I can hold you, and sure enough, the first quarter of the game became the Nets' offensive performance show. The 34:20 opening set the tone for the entire game, leading a direct 14-point lead into the second quarter.
Irving's really scoring exhibition game, on the court once again showed a super scoring ability, the first quarter did not give the Hornets defensive players a chance, the three-point line outside the open hand came, the mid-range half-intercept basket is as stable as ever. Under Irving's leadership, the Nets also maintained a good feel in the second quarter. 35:23 not only did not let the Hornets catch up, but continued to expand the score, leading by 26 points at the end of the half into the second half, although there were still two games left at this time, the result was basically conclusive.
Hornets players this game is not to say that there is no effort, Rozier, Bridges and Ball this game are actually playing OK, the outside feel is not low, but in front of Irving and Durant is still very young, the diversity of offense is indeed far from the Nets, the third quarter of the Game Hornets are trying to chase points, the three people have also won 20+ early, the small big three really feel what is the gap with superstars at this moment.
In the third quarter, the Hornets played their own rhythm of the game, and the 41 points in a single quarter proved that the Hornets' young players did not give up, suppressing the Nets' scoring momentum while scoring themselves, but their own substitute players were really not powerful, except for the small three giants in the team, the rest of the personnel did not score in double digits. The Hornets scored 10 points at 41:31 after the second quarter.
The Nets didn't give the Hornets a chance in the final quarter, the double-digit lead was never shaken, and in the end it was a thrilling win.
The victory of this game allows the outside world to see the Nets' paper hard power again, as long as the lineup is complete, the Nets are still a strong contender for the league championship!
