On March 24, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season fierce battle is in full swing. In a focus battle that just ended, the Nets lost 120:132 on the road, ending their two-game winning streak and turning into 38-35, continuing to rank 8th in the East.
In today's game, Irving played again after 8 days. In the whole game, Irving shot 15 of 27, 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! In the last four games, Irving has scored 50 points, 22 points, 60 points and 43 points respectively, a total of 175 points, averaging 43.75 points per game, showing a very terrifying state.
It should be noted that today is still Irving's 30th birthday. He got one of the best gifts he could play in the Nets' home game. Earlier today, U.S. media reported that Irving would be allowed to play in the Nets home game. Not surprisingly, next Monday's Nets home game against the Hornets, Irving will make his home debut of the season!
After the game, Irving was inevitably asked about playing at home. He smiled and said, "Please don't make any assumptions until the matter is officially announced." Interestingly, at the end of the interview, Owen also specifically instructed the reporter: "I am very grateful for everyone's concern, but please refer to my previous answer." And don't ask Durant similar questions later. ”
As we all know, Durant has always been outspoken and not "polite" to media interviews.
According to the schedule, the Nets will challenge the Heat, the no. 1 team in the East, on March 27. Starting today, Irving will get full qualification. So far this season, Irving has averaged 28.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 49.4% from the field and 43.8% from three-point range!
