The Nets finally won! In the away game against the Hornets, the Nets easily won 132-121.
In this game, Irving really acted like a leading big brother. He played 37.5 minutes in the game, shooting 15 of 19 from 15 of 12 from three-point range, slashing 50 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Whenever the Hornets put the score on the horizon, or the Nets are in a scoring drought, even Durant will give the ball to Irving to handle first. Even Nash's repeated calls for a timeout when Irving's hands are hot did not stop Irving from slashing points and leading the team to victory.
After scoring 50 points on the road to beat the Hornets, Irving gave an interview to reporters after the game, in which Irving talked about Harden. Owen once again stressed that there is no problem between himself and Harden, no mustard. At the same time, Owen also said that Harden's trade should have had a better communication and a better ending. Irving noted that Harden should have explained his feelings more clearly to some of the Nets' teammates before the trade.
Owen always feels a little strange about Harden's words. Maybe Harden really didn't express his feelings clearly, but how the Nets treatEden, is Irving not clear? Owen was a part-time player, and the whole team was still coaxing him. Harden has worked hard and complained, and he always carries the pot. Of course, the most fundamental reason is still here with Irving, if Irving can always play, Harden will not choose to run away for the championship.
In addition to implicitly stating that Harden should communicate in advance, Owen also alluded to Harden's immaturity. Owen said: "We're still in the same league, we're not here and we're not gone, it's good that the league can have this development, but we have a group of people in the locker room and we just hope we can behave more maturely, deal with these things and then move on." ”
It is estimated that the Nets are now waiting for Irving to be more mature! Owen really understands everything, just don't do the right thing!
