On April 7, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Nets made a guest appearance against the Knicks. In the first half of this campaign, the Nets played worse, once being hit by the opponent to play a 19-0 attack wave, and the Nets trailed by 17 points 50-67 at the end of the half, which made the Nets compete for the top 8 in the East very unfavorable. At the end of the half, Irving even had a verbal altercation with the fans, the two sprayed each other face to face, and the scene was hot.
In the last game, Irving ushered in an outbreak, bombarding 42 points and 6 assists, getting rid of the previous haze. But he didn't expect this game, and Irving's performance returned to the worse level since full-time. In the first half, Irving scored 6-of-13, but scored 16 points on only 4-of-4 three-pointers. Durant is also sluggish, with only 9 points and 4 assists in the half.
Facing the already desireless Knicks, the Nets performed poorly and were seized by their opponents. The Knicks combined to play a 19-0 surge at the end of the first quarter and the start of the second quarter, and the Nets instantly fell into a pit of more than 15 points. At halftime, the Nets trailed by 17 points. And on the way back to the players' tunnel, Knicks fans seemed to be taunting Irving.
Owen has come to the players' tunnel and is ready to return to the dressing room. But after hearing the insults from the fans, he immediately turned his head and returned. Owen found a fan and immediately went to him for theory. But the fan was blindfolded and didn't seem to be doing anything. Instead, the audience in white sweatshirts seems to be the initiator. Owen said a few words in blackface and then returned to the dressing room.
After this episode, Irving only had 1 of 7 in the third quarter and 6 of 20 after the third quarter, with a disastrous shooting percentage. However, in the fourth quarter, the Nets began to explode, and Irving also hit a long-range three-pointer. The Nets then reversed the score, and it looks like the Nets have a chance to complete a big turnaround in this game.
