On March 22, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Nets sat at home to meet the Jazz. With the score glued in the first half, the Nets began to take the initiative with a 38-24 super shockwave in the third quarter, and although the Jazz launched a counterattack in the final quarter, the team withstood the pressure under Durant's leadership. In the end, the Nets defeated the opponent 114-106 and won two consecutive games.
After this campaign, the Nets' record this season came to 37-34, and the Nets were only three wins away from sixth in the East due to the Cavaliers' loss to the Lakers on the same day. With 11 games left in the regular season, they have every chance to complete a counterattack and avoid play-offs.
Due to the home game, Irving could not play, and Durant once again staged a one-man savior drama. He played 38 minutes, shot 15-of-23, shot 65 percent from the field, scored 38 points, 9 rebounds and eight assists, all three of which led the team. In the third quarter of the game, he scored 15 points and 3 assists on 5-of-7 shooting to help the team set the winning tone.
Since his comeback against the Heat on March 4, Durant has led the team to a record of 6 wins and 3 losses, and in these 9 games, he can average 30.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, shooting 55% overall and shooting 42% from three-point range.
Durant's outstanding performance not only conquered many media and fans, but even former teammate Perkins praised him. The latter championed Durant as the all-time scorer on a TV show today.
"Jordan was never a member of the 50%+40%+90 club and he couldn't shoot three-pointers like KD. When you're talking about a guy who has no flaws on the offensive end, Durant is one of those guys who has everything in his offensive arsenal. Although Jordan has the first career 10-pointing crown in history, he can also take 10 or even 11 scoring championships whenever KD wants. Perkins said.
Counting this game, Durant has played in 45 games this season, averaging 29.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, shooting 52.7% from the field and 38.2% from three-point range, and the 4-time scoring champion has always been stable and efficient on the offensive end, and he has always been one of the league's best scorers.
