The Nets have good news
Finally, at the end of the regular season, the Brooklyn Nets had good news that Irving could play at home. For the Nets, Irving played or not. These are two completely different teams. Irving is present, Durant can win the occasional health, Irving is not present, Durant will face a constant bag, it is difficult to say a word. Irving and Durant team up, then it is definitely a nightmare for opponents to defend, but this game, they have to challenge the Miami Heat, the first in the East.
Although the Heat are in the first place in the East, the recent state is very bad, and after a wave of three consecutive defeats, there is no advantage. So this game, facing the Brooklyn Nets, facing Irving and Durant, two super scorers, the Heat can do is defend, after all, their defense is in the fifth position in the league.
The game is completely one-sided
Irving rarely scored a single point in the first quarter of 2 shots, only 2 assists and 1 steal, but Durant's offense was still outstanding, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, under his leadership, the Nets still scored 27 points in a single quarter, while the Heat only scored 25 points, of which Butler had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, tucker and Lowry also scored 7 points. After returning from the second quarter, Irving gradually found his form, scoring 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-6 shooting, Durant also had 10 points, 2 assists and 2 steals, and the Nets exploded for 40 points in a single quarter.
Facing the unstoppable Nets on the offensive end, although Hiro had 9 points, 1 assist and 2 steals, the Nets still led the Heat by as many as 21 points at the end of the half. In the second half, yibian fought again, this time carrying the team, not Irving, not Durant, but Seth Curry. 6 of 9 shots, 6 three-pointers and 5 shots, Curry Jr. blasted 17 points in a single quarter, directly pouring out the Heat with three points of rain, and in this quarter, the Heat only scored 22 points. So, by the end of the third quarter, the Heat were already 28 points behind the Nets.
After returning from the final quarter, Nash did not play the main force again, and the Nets' offense was completely supported by Griffin alone, hitting 3 three-pointers and getting 9 points and 3 rebounds, but it was also the Nets' first ten minutes. The Heat seized the opportunity and kept narrowing the point gap, but it was too late. In the end, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Miami Heat 110-95 on the road, successfully giving their opponents a three-game losing streak.
Nash was still too doting
In such a game, the Nets once led by 37 points, but it was not the offensive end that played a role, but more of a defensive end, the Nets showed their power, 15 steals in the whole game, and scored 40 points using mistakes. After the game, Durant was also very proud: in this game we guided our attack with defense – I think that played a role in all phases of tonight's game. We can't just rely on Owen's return. In this game, Durant had 23 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and the third quarter clocked out of work.
Durant is very proud of the team's performance in this game, and in the next game, they will return home to meet the Hornets, which is Irving's home debut this season. Speaking about Irving's home debut, head coach Nash said in an interview: "Because the schedule is very tight, it would be even better if he could get some support from the home audience." For Irving, Nash is still too doting, no matter what mistakes he makes, as long as he comes back, he will support him unconditionally, which is probably why Owen said that he wants to and Durant, and the Brooklyn Nets belong to their legend.
