If you don't count today's game, the Nets have only won 3 in the last 20 games, and the league is the bottom of the league at the same time as the Rockets. But the Nets are the Nets after all, and they definitely have to save compared to the Lakers.
In today's playoff card battle with the Hornets, the Nets were full of fire from the beginning, and the first quarter was close to playing the game. At the most, the Nets led by 34 points, and although they were chased back by the Hornets at one point, they finally won the card battle.
Do many people think that Durant is carrying the weight of the team again, and today is really not. Durant played 40 minutes today, shooting just 6 goals in 13 shots and finishing with 14 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds.
The role of Durant was swapped with Irving, who scored 12 points on 3-of-4 shooting in the first quarter as Irving played 7 minutes. Irving had 20 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 6 free throws on 5-of-7 shooting, 4-of-5 three-pointers, and 1 assist in half-time, which was amazingly efficient.
You must know that the last game Irving played the Celtics was criticized by the whole game, and the whole game only scored 18 points. The Net sent a seasonly high of 20 assists at halftime, and the team played well under Irving's leadership.
In the second half, Irving was able to kick off his offensive performance, scoring 14 points on 5-of-6 in the third quarter, and in the final quarter, at the pace of the Hornets chasing points, Irving scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter, and again scored 16 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the single quarter.
Throughout the game, Irving played 34 minutes, shooting 15 of 19, including 9 of 12 three-pointers, 11 of 13 from the free throw line, and had 50 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus-minus of +14 being the highest on the team.
Today's game Irving gave the impression that he hadn't thrown a shot, how to shoot how to have it, attacking as he pleased on the court, and no one in the Hornets could stop him. The 50 points were illustrated by just 19 shots, and even with 11 free throws, Irving had 39 points.
In the final moments, Curry Jr. did not shoot at the empty three-pointer, but gave Irving a chance to score 50 points. This kind of adult beauty, if Owen knew how to do more when he was young, the current wind evaluation would not be like this.
After this game, Irving became the first player in NBA history to score 50 points and hit nine three-pointers in a single game, and to shoot at 75% +.
It was the second time in his career that Irving had scored a 50+ with more than 75 percent shooting, finishing third in history, ahead of Chamberlain and Jordan. At the same time, Irving is also the third player in history to get 50+ in less than 20 shots, the first in the league in nearly 28 years.
Owen's strength, no one can deny or deny. We all know that Irving is one of the most offensive defenders of our time, and his ability to create scoring opportunities is unparalleled, which is why he has so many fans who can't leave.
But the better Irving plays on the pitch, the more the fans will regret it, and everyone knows why. The field is a god, the field is a fairy, and the word Ou Shenxian is both a positive word and a derogatory word.
