On March 24, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season fierce battle is in full swing. In today's focus game, the Nets took on the Grizzlies on the road. Facing the Grizzlies without Morant, the Nets lost 120-132 on the road, ending their two-game winning streak and turning into a 38-35 record, continuing to rank 8th in the East.
In today's game, the Nets' two biggest stars have performed well, Irving shot 15 of 27 today, including 6 of 11 three-pointers and 7 of 7 from the free throw line, totaling 43 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal; Durant shot 12 of 28 today, including 1 of 7 three-pointers and 10 of 10 free throws, for a total of 35 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. However, despite the combined 78 points of the two stars, the Nets were behind almost the entire time. They were tied in the second half, but soon fell behind by double digits again, scoring just 16 points in the final quarter!
As always, whenever the Nets lose, coach Nash is scolded by fans for twitter searches, and today is no exception. Fans have used some insulting words to express their anger at Nash's coaching, and even used words such as "stupid" and "garbage", and the fans who shouted Nash's dismissal were not a minority.
Interestingly, before the game started, Nash couldn't help but smile when asked if Herving would be able to play full-time. However, he soon suffered a defeat and was once again verbally criticized. There are now about 20 days left until the end of the regular season. The Nets are in a very bad situation at the moment, and they will most likely have to compete for playoff qualification through brutal playoffs.
According to the schedule, the Nets will challenge the Heat, the no. 1 team in the East, on March 27.
