The Nets' match against the Magic was held as scheduled, and Irving made his debut in this game. In the end, the Nets won a big game with a score of 150-108. Maybe it's because he feels like he won't be able to play in the next 3 home games and he has to try his hand well, Irving showed a good feel at the beginning of the game, how to shoot how to have. After the first quarter, Irving shot 6 of 8 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 16 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 3 steals.
In the second quarter, Irving did not stop the offense at all, and he cut down 25 points and 1 rebound after 11 shots. Irving in this quarter is really unstoppable, and whoever defends him has no way. Scoring 41 points at halftime, Irving also set a new record for this season's players in halftime, after Towns scored 36 points at halftime. If this trend continues, Irving really has a chance to set a new career-high score (57 points) in the game, and possibly even score 80+ points.
Unfortunately, because the point difference between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, the Nets have to make a humanitarian play. In the third quarter, Irving's playing time and shots decreased, and he only had 10 points and 2 rebounds. In the fourth quarter, Irving only made four shots and scored 9 points. In the end, Irving had 60 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Although Irving didn't let his scoring score go higher, he still broke his career single-game scoring record. Seeing such a result, many fans still feel regretful, because if the Magic does not perform so well, Irving can cut higher points and create more history. It's really a European immortal!
Seeing Irving's performance, many stars and media people have also expressed their views. James sent a text to Irving not to stop, and Trae Young posted a sigh... Interestingly, according to the famous Jenhei Skip, he bluntly said that Irving's performance reminded him of Kobe Bryant's 81 points that year. In addition, Skip said Irving was the best scorer of all time. Of course, Skip's claim is hugely controversial. Irving is still a certain distance from the best scorer of all time, but he does not deny his personal standards, and he is unique in terms of combination of man and ball.
Irving's performance exploded, making the Nets both happy and worried, happy that his state was getting better and better, worried that he could not play home games. If Irving can play well, how nice it would be without other negative news off the field! In the following game, Irving will rest.
