On March 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Nets played at home to the Pistons. Although the Pistons are already a clear mess, this season's famous Tanks team, but the game still caused a lot of trouble for the Nets, Cunningham burst to get 34 points and 6 assists, leading the Pistons and the Nets to play against the attack. The two sides scored a high score of 123-130, and the Nets relied on Curry Jr. to score eight consecutive points at a key moment to seal the victory.
Irving can play, the help for the Nets is really too much, if nothing else, Durant does not have to encounter a tight double bag every time. So in this game, Durant also released his own scoring firepower, 41 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists on 14-of-23 shooting, which can be said to be very easy. 38 points + 41 points + 58 points, Durant wants to surpass the old Jennas scorer, how many points do you need to take in 6 games?
This is actually not the first game that Durant has broken out after his return, against the Knicks on March 14, when Irving was not yet able to play, Durant played 43 minutes with 53 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists to lead the team to win, 53 points is Durant's highest score since his return, and it is also a new single-game scoring high in his Nets career. Against the Blazers on March 19, Durant got 38 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Blazers also adopted a pack tactic in this game, still unable to limit Durant, and 38 points was his second highest score since his return. In addition, there are 37 points in 2 games, 35 points in 1 game and 31 points in 1 game. It's really hard to imagine that this is the data of a player who has suffered two major injuries, Jones fracture and Achilles tendon fracture.
Durant does have a tendency to impact the scoring king, and his advantage in the scoring list at the beginning of the season is very obvious, even more than 2 points ahead of others, but then the injury is absent from the game, which makes Durant fall off the scoring list. Durant is also not on the official data sheet now, as his attendance is less than 70%. At present, Durant has only played 49 games, even if he plays all 6 games with the Nets, it is only 55 games, and 70% of the 82 games are 58 games, and Durant still can't meet the standard.
The league has such a rule because Rondo only played 53 and 38 games in 12 and 13 years, respectively, and there was no corresponding rule at that time, he picked up the leak and got 2 assists. Later, for the sake of fairness, the league avoided some players from frantically brushing the data in front of them and not playing, drilling loopholes to get the data king, so it gave a 70% attendance limit. However, there is another provision that if the total season data is divided by 58 games, it is still higher than the average data of others, and the data king can still be obtained.
The person at the top of the scoring list now is James, averaging 30.1 points per game, and if James ends the season with this score, then Durant's total score must be 30.1*58, which is more than 1746 points. At present, Durant has scored 1456 points, and there is a gap of 290 points, and it will take 48.4 points to play all six games, and if one game is off, each game will take 58 points. It's almost an impossible task, and Durant has the ability to score 40 points in multiple consecutive games, but has never seen him score around 50 points in multiple consecutive games. And now that Irving can play, Durant doesn't have to shoot like crazy as before, so it shouldn't be a high score.
