In the New York Derby, Durant joins forces with Curry and Mills to blast their city friend Knicks.
In fact, in the first half, the Knicks once pressed the Nets to play, quite a kind of "New York is Lao Tzu's territory, turkey tile dog Hugh wanton" style,
However, in the second half, it was completely lost.
Especially in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, a while ago, watching the two sides score is not bad, quite close, a blink of an eye kung fu, the Nets side of the leading score directly on the double, the limit moment, the Nets play the key ball is really fierce, the Knicks play iron is also really good.
The course of the game can be described as Barrett (7 of 27) and Irving (9 of 26) playing iron, and teammates chasing after the two iron buddies.
Among them, the fastest hand speed and the most handsome movement is Adu.
He played 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a single game, plus 1 steal and 2 blocks, with plus or minus as high as +19.
I have to admit that at the critical moment, Durant is really stable,
Especially this kind of go big or go home key game, either win the ball to stabilize the top eight, or lose the ball to fall to the ninth, and if you are not careful, you have to go home to fish.
When to paddle and when to swing the scythe, Adu can still tell.
Curry Jr. and Mills also rarely put on eight times the mirror at the same time, and together contribute more than 50% of the winning percentage, if you both play like this, the Nets will not come to play the playoffs, and then continue to maintain it.
After winning the game, the Nets continued to remain in eighth place in the East, while the Hawks at the back were ninth in the East with the same win.
The next two teams have two games each, the Hawks are against the Heat and Rockets, and the Nets are against the Cavaliers and Pacers.
The possible scenarios are as follows.
The Nets win 2 wins and 0 losses, locks the top eight, and enters the playoffs; the Nets win 1 win and lose 1 loss, the Nets defeat the Cavaliers or the Hawks lose a game, the Nets lock the top eight, enter the playoffs; the Nets win 0 win 2 losses, the Eagles lose both games, the Nets are also locked in the top eight, enter the playoffs.
If it weren't for the above, the Nets would have fallen to ninth.
At present, the initiative is still in the hands of the Nets, as long as the Nets can win two consecutive games, how the Hawks struggle is not good, but if they do not play well and lose the ninth place, it is dangerous.
A game of life and death, the top eight can have a resurrection armor, the ninth place has a hammer, and if you lose, you have to go home and fish,
In order to prevent the Lakers from encountering this situation, it is strongly recommended that the Nets play the next two games as the Finals, so that fans can continue to feel at ease.
In the end, the Nets won 110-98 on the road to the Knicks.
