On April 3, Beijing time, the Nets against the Hornets, this is a focus battle, the eighth battle in the East, the win can be ranked eighth in the East. Durant staged a crazy battle, in the case of a group of teammates in the downturn, Durant broke out, leading the team to bite the score, but in the end it was 115-122 lost to the Eagles. Durant cut 55 points and 7 boards, a career high at the age of 33, and he couldn't think of moving the Nets, this time he was pitted. And Trae Young got 36 points, 6 boards and 10 assists, this time he was loaded again, scoring consecutive points at key moments, facing Blow Yang, Death also had to lose.
Irving's recent state is very poor, weak, and this time the rest of the Nets are not in shape, and can only count on Durant. Durant exploded in the first quarter, hitting consecutive three-pointers at the top of the arc and chasing three-pointers to shoot confidently. Durant was able to get 15 points and 4 boards in the first quarter, relying on Durant's explosion, the Nets can barely lead. Mills and the others are completely out of shape, and no one on the bench can stand up. And Irving also began to hit iron frequently in the second quarter, a variety of iron strikes in the middle distance, although there were hits of three points, but the shooting rate of 11 shots in the single quarter was touching. The Hawks quickly overtook, even widening the points gap. Durant can only continue to stand up, three points + mid-range multiple hits, the efficiency is still very high, a single quarter and 10 points, but helplessly was still pulled apart point difference.
Durant feels so good, the result is only 4 shots in a single quarter, or stand up on his own! Forget about that much. In the crucial third quarter, Durant chased after the three-point shot, and then assisted his teammates in a row. The Hawks scored consecutive points, Hunter scored multiple times, and Trae Young's three-pointer also exploded, leading by another 15 points. Durant quickly hit a jumper and caused Capela to commit a vendetta. First the free throws were scored, and then Durant played 2+1, two consecutive 2+1s. Durant quickly broke through the scoring again, and then hit another dry shot. The Hawks hit a three-pointer, Durant responded with three points, and then rode a three-pointer to shoot. Trae Young scored consecutive points, and Irving finally stepped up to score, but unfortunately he still fell behind by 7 points.
Death came, and Durant scored 19 points in a single quarter, single-handedly chasing the point difference to single digits. Durant also did not have a chance to rest, Irving hit a three-point shot, and Thomas also made three free throws. The Hawks scored five straight points, while Durant's feel dropped, the Hawks continued to score, and Gallinari also chased the three-point shot. Irving rushed to stop the bleeding with three points, Durant also shot in, and then Durant also soared into three points, only 6 points. But Mills is still playing iron, Durant has no choice but to jump to score, or come on his own! And Irving also countered to score, Bogdan scored to break the scoring drought, and Trae Young also broke through. Durant immediately cut the buckle and fought. However, Trae Young scored 5 points in a row, and this wave of scoring directly killed the game! Durant hurried to score, but there was not enough time to lose.
Durant was really tired of this game and didn't have much time off. He took a break in the second quarter and was pulled straight away by a double-digit score difference. Durant did not dare to rest much in the second half, and he was pulled apart by going down. This is really no way, completely suppressed by them, can only rely on Durant in the bitter support. Durant's three-pointers this time are hot, even riding archery can be thrown, the accuracy is a bit outrageous, and Durant's other offensive methods are also very good. But the rest of the Nets couldn't come forward, and Irving got a good score, but it was inefficient.
But Irving can at least score, others really can't score, and the Nets have not had a third person to score in double figures. Mills started and the result was too bad. Mills this feel cold, frequent iron, this is how to throw ah! And Mills didn't have any assists, and played too badly. Coupled with the absence of Brown, Curry Jr., Dragic and Ade, no one on the Nets' bench can stand up, and Thomas's performance is also a disaster, and Gallinari alone can break the Nets' bench.
