The Brooklyn Nets' game against the New York Knicks was played until the last minute before the winner was divided, and Durant once again staged "DeathFall", bombarding the 53 points, 9 assists and 6 boards. The Nets were able to win the final victory, and the biggest contributor was undoubtedly Durant, and the second hero was Bruce Brown.
In the whole game, Brown played nearly 42 minutes, the most timed player in the Durant outer basketball net. In the whole game, he shot 7 of 14 and cut a comprehensive stat of 15 points, 7 boards and 5 assists, and he performed very well. His plus-minus is also the second highest after Durant. More critically, in the final moments, Brown contributed a key steal to help the Nets get a crucial possession. Arguably, Brown's performance in this game was impeccable.
In fact, Brown's recent form has been very good. In the last five games, Brown has averaged 15.4 points per game, scoring in double figures and shooting more than 50% of the shots in each game, which is very efficient. Expanding the sample to the last 13 games, Brown has only two games to fail to score in double figures, and in those two games, Brown scored 9 points, just one point away from double-figures. After a big start-ups and downs at the beginning of the season, Brown has found his own rhythm, his performance tends to be stable, bringing a lot of help to the Nets, and his average per game has gradually improved to 7.7 points, 4.6 boards and 1.6 assists. Brown, the second highest in the number of games in the team, has gradually become the most stable "auxiliary" around Durant.
Simmons hasn't been on the floor yet, Irving can only play on the road, Seth Curry is injured again, and if it wasn't for Brown completing the key steals in the final moments today, Durant really might not have been able to take away the victory of this game. Brown's performance is getting better, and Durant can be a little more relaxed. The Nets currently have 13 regular season games left, eight of which are home, meaning Irving can't play most of them. Simmons' return date is undecided, And Curry Jr. is estimated to have to take a break, and Durant has almost no helpers around him. Brown's annual salary this season is 4.75 million, which can be said to be very valuable, and this season is also his contract year, I believe that Brown will do his best in the next game in order to win the big contract.
