On March 11, Beijing time, the NBA ushered in a focus battle, and the Nets challenged the 76ers away. Because of Harden's swap with Simmons, this game has more to watch, even if Simmons can't play. It was just a surprise that the game was one-sided, and the Nets had always occupied the initiative on the court, once taking a 36-point lead. In the end, the Nets beat the 76ers 129-100 and won two straight.
Judging from the course of the game, the Nets were more well prepared, occupying the initiative on the court from the beginning, not giving the 76ers too many opportunities, even if Drummond and Brown committed 3 fouls early, but they did not panic, with excellent feel, gradually widened the point difference. On the other hand, the 76ers are a bit absent-minded, especially Harden, who has a feeling of no heart to fight, as the point difference is pulled apart, the game also loses suspense early, Durant and Irving lead the team to achieve a big win.
With a 29-point win, Simmons was the happiest to avoid more interference from Philadelphia fans. If the Nets lose this game, he will definitely become the focus after the game, but Harden stole the limelight. And Simmons, there are two more good big brothers, Durant and Irving both support him after the game.
Durant played very well in this game, directly blowing the 76ers' forward line, and did not give them any chance to counterattack at all. After playing 32 minutes, he had 25 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-17 basis, with a plus-minus of a game-high +34, and also let the away game cheer the MVP cheer.
After the game, Durant said: "It felt so good, and the scene was so quiet at the end that we could no longer hear the 76ers fans shouting for Simmons." ”
Irving is also full of energy this time, want to prove to Harden, as soon as he came up, he shot consecutive difficult goals, played 30 minutes, 8 of 17 with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, plus or minus +27. Irving's attitude on the pitch is still very good, as long as he plays, he will give it his all, and speaking about Simmons after the game, he said: "I think he handled it well, we will give him support, Ben is safe here. If you come to Ben's trouble, you are looking for us to get into trouble. ”
After a 29-point victory, boss Tsai Chongxin was also very excited, updating social media after the game: "Done! next! ”
Although this is only a regular season game, you can see the strength of the Nets, when Durant and Irving play, the opponent is still difficult to limit, compared to before, the offense is indeed more fluent. When Simmons returns again, their strength will still be very terrible, and the offensive and defensive ends will be more balanced.
