Today, the NBA regular season continues, with the Brooklyn Nets coming to the road to challenge the Charlotte Hornets. It was a rather intense showdown, and in the end, the Nets defeated the Hornets 132-121 and won the game.
Durant was in the game, but he was in poor form, playing nearly 40 minutes in his opening game, with only 14 points and seven assists on 6-of-13 shooting. In contrast, Irving is in much better shape in this game. Euphon was in superb form of competition, scoring 50 points in the starting 37 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that Irving scored 50 points, only used 19 sports shots, hit 15 goals, including 9 of 12 shots outside the three-point line, very efficient. On the free throw line, Irving also made 11 of 13 free throws, putting a lot of pressure on the Hornets' defense.
In the whole game, Irving's effective shooting rate was 102.6%, which is a miracle. In fact, Nets fans may be a little uncomfortable with Irving's performance, after all, he has only been playing away games this season, and at one point he could not combine his personal performance with team performance, often cutting high scores but losing.
The Nets have been in a terrible situation lately, they have fallen into the ranks of the playoffs, which is not at all what a team with Durant should play. Irving is now awake and is good for the Nets.
After this game, Irving became the only player in NBA history who could score 50 points in a single game, hit nine three-pointers and keep shooting more than 75 percent from the field, and he was also the third player in NBA history to score 50 points with just 19 or fewer shots.
