The Nets take on the Jazz
Three consecutive home games is a beautiful thing for any team, but for the Brooklyn Nets, it is extremely bad, because in the home game, one of the core of the team, Kyrie Irving, can not play, the only thing they can rely on is Kevin Durant. In this game, the Nets will play at home against the Utah Jazz, a fourth-place team in the West, and recently won a wave of three consecutive wins, which is very good. And, Conley made a comeback in this game.
The Jazz have the league's number one offensive efficiency, which is the main reason they can be fourth in the West. Of course, the Jazz's defense is also good, the league's ninth defensive efficiency, you know, the Nets' defensive efficiency, only ranked 22nd in the league. In this game, if the Nets want to win, they can only rely on Durant's insoluble personal offense.
Look at Adu at the crucial moment
Durant showed an unsolvable mid-range jumper in the first quarter, scoring 8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal on 4-of-6 shooting, and Brown also had 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but the Nets only scored 25 points in a single quarter, while the Jazz bombed 28 points, of which Conley and Mitchell teamed up to score 12 points. After returning from the second quarter, Durant had seven points, one rebound and one assist on 3-of-4 shooting, Mills also had seven points and one rebound, and the Nets fired 28 points in a single quarter, while the Jazz only had 23 points, so that at the end of the half, the Nets surpassed the Jazz by 2 points at 53-51.
In the second half, the Jazz still did not find their touch, this quarter only scored 24 points, Durant naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity, 7 shots 5, single quarter blast 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Brown 9 points and 2 rebounds, Clarkston 5 shots 5, there are also 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, all goals from the basket. The Nets blasted 38 points in a single quarter to take a 16-point lead. After returning from the final quarter, the Jazz continued to catch up, and the Nets made 3 consecutive mistakes at key moments, and the point difference directly reached 8 points.
At the critical moment, Durant stopped and shot to stabilize the situation, and Mitchell won four consecutive free throws, and the point difference reached 6 points. Durant broke through with the ball and then assisted clarkston dunk under the basket, Mitchell missed a three-pointer, and Durant closed the rebound. In the end, the Brooklyn Nets narrowly defeated the Utah Jazz 114-106 and successfully won two consecutive wins.
Mitchell aired 30 points
Mitchell's personal performance in this game is actually very good, 5 of 15 from three points, 9 of 23 from the field, with 30 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Conley also has 18 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, Clarkson has 19 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Gobert 11 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, only 5 shots. To tell the truth, against a team with a weak interior like the Nets, Gobert's offense is worse, and he should let him play more and draw the defense into the box, rather than blindly relying on Mitchell and Clarkson on the outside.
Single-core team, this game, Durant absolutely worthy of the title, not only Irving did not play, Curry Jr. and Drummond did not play, in this case, Durant got 37 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, 23 shots in 15 shooting rate, really no solution. Look at Adu at the crucial moment, he will definitely not let you down. Brown also had 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Clarkston stepped forward in the second half, also had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Mills on the bench had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and Griffin rarely played, scoring 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 3-of-4 shooting.
