If you've only recently started watching the NBA, you might find out how a 50 point is so worthless. It is understandable that a young and strong young man like Tatum can take 50+, and Irving's skills are unbearable, how the 37-year-old man also takes 50+, or twice.
Today there is another 30-year-old man who got 50+, or a Durant who has a big Achilles tendon injury and a knee injury this season. The New York derby was played at home to the Nets, and Durant was once again the Grim Reaper to harvest the game with a 53-pointer.
Although Irving could not play, he still came to the home stadium, or bought his own tickets, and I have to say how ironic this face is. Curry Jr. also can't play today due to injury, so the Nets' offensive pressure has suddenly increased, but the Nets have a Durant after all.
Durant, who knows that the team's offensive pressure has fallen on him, has been full of fire from the beginning. In the first quarter, he scored 16 points to lead the team. Durant scored another 11 points in the second quarter, and when the Knicks briefly countered in the third quarter, Durant scored seven straight points to regain the lead, 13 points in a single quarter.
Durant scored 13 points in the last quarter, hit three points again in the key moment, the Knicks two-man bag clip and even the three-man bag clip did not work for Durant, you can always believe in Durant at the key moment.
Throughout the game, Durant played 42 minutes, shooting 19-of-37, 4-of-13 from three-point range, and 11-of-12 from the free throw line, scoring 53 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds. The 37 shots turned out to be Durant's career high, after 34.
The 53 points were also the highest individual scores in Nets history against the Knicks, the third highest individual player score in Nets history since the league merger.
Durant became the third player in league history to score 50 points multiple times on three different teams, and the fifth player in league history to score 50 points multiple times a single game in a single season at least 33 years old.
Today is the eighth 50+ in Durant's career, and although he has taken so many 50+, Durant's career high is "only" 54 points, playing the Warriors in 2014. His games are often just over 50 games, and today's 53 points is the second highest score of Durant's career.
With a career-high 42-minute shot, Durant really didn't want to go off the court for a moment, thinking about scoring every second on the court. Speaking about playing time after the game, Durant said: "I tell you, let me die on the pitch. ”
Nash also said that he wanted to control Durant's playing time below 40 points, but today's situation, without Durant, he couldn't score points at all, so Durant could only keep playing, and Durant also wanted to play all the time.
He's missed too many games before, so he doesn't want to waste a moment now, after all he really could be the most favorite person on the planet to play.
