The Nets played the Flower Jazz in the third quarter, defeated the opponent 114-106 at home, won two consecutive wins, and improved the record to 38 wins and 34 losses, stabilizing the 8th position in the East, compared to the stable record, the Nets in this game can be described as suffering multiple blows. Durant played with injuries, Curry Jr. retired, even Simmons off the court also sent bad news, and Irving's ability to play home games is unknown, these blows are enough to cast a shadow over future Games for the Nets.
At present, the Nets need to win more than any team, this Nash as the head coach knows well, so against the Western Conference Strong Jazz, they tried their best, although the game Nets won very easily, but Durant still played nearly 39 minutes, in the game, Durant once defended, encountered a weak foot, but he for the team's victory, just a simple treatment, continue to fight with injuries, this game Durant scored 37 points, career total score surpassed West, rose to 22nd in history, throughout March Durant is not only the Nets score, but also the league's scoring king, averaging 30.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, and what makes other teams more frightening is that he shoots as high as 55%, three-point as high as 43%, and even the free throws have 82%, it can be said that the Nets are under Durant's strong outbreak, they have won 6 of them in the last 7 games, consolidating the ranking.
In March, Durant averaged nearly 40 minutes per game, considering that Durant had suffered a major injury before, and when Durant was used so much, fans could not avoid worrying about Durant's health. After all, Durant was injured before, and the Nets suffered an 11-game losing streak, which also led to Harden's departure, and the Nets need Durant too much.
Compared to Durant, before the game, Drummond also because of injury suspension, in the first half, the outside shooter Curry Jr., appeared to sprain his ankle, quit the game early, returned to the locker room for treatment, after the game, Nash talked about Curry Jr.'s injury, he said that Little Curry will be examined and will soon know his injury situation, Little Curry is very optimistic about his ankle injury in the locker room, from the situation, it is not particularly serious, nor is the old injury aggravated before. Curry Jr. is an important part of the Nets' outside line, in the case of Irving and Simmons can not play, he became the most reliable teammate around Durant, and now Durant is not a big problem, and I hope that Curry Jr. will be okay and continue to help Durant with his own strength.
According to NBA reporter Chalania, Ben Simmons suffered a lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, his back injury problem has not been improved, and the comeback time can only be postponed, but Simmons himself is very eager to come back, he has been trying to recover, he hopes to make his debut for the Nets before the start of the playoffs, but from the news of Nash and the Nets management, Simmons's specific comeback time is undecided. That said, the Nets need to rely on their current roster to impact the playoffs and championships.
Irving still can't play the home game, now a number of players are injured, Durant is out with injuries, so the Nets have become more difficult, we don't know how Nash will adjust the team in the future, I hope the Nets can overcome the current difficulties and get out of the trough.
