The 21-point reversal is shocking, but is this really what Nets fans want to happen?
Today, the Nets played a city-to-city derby with the Knicks away from Big Apple City, and in the case of the Knicks' lack of Randall, they actually beat the Nets who also had Duou a fat punch;
The reason is what, first of all, the Nets offensive end of the two big cores, Irving is a very critical link, because back-to-back plus the arrival of Ramadan, he finally showed the fatigue that normal people should have, today's three-point shots only 3 of 12 shots, of which the third quarter single quarter three-point shots 7 only 1, which allowed the Knicks to seize the opportunity to play a scoring climax.
The second is that Nash relies too much on the multi-guard lineup, after Ader once played a quasi-All-Star level, and now due to injury, the defensive end is aging, the offensive end has no tactical position, and can only turn back to constantly brush down his efficiency value; Griffin is once again hidden in the snow when the staff is abundant. The tactics of abandoning height to maintain high mobility and frequent use of three or four defenders are prone to attacking climaxes.
Especially in the first half, the Nets once led by 6 points in the first quarter, but the sudden power outage at the end of the quarter made the Knicks play 10-0, and there was still no feeling in the second quarter, the Knicks took advantage of your illness to play 9-0 again, and a wave of 19-0 made Durant and Irving dare not rest in the second half.
This is undoubtedly to let Adu take over the rhythm of the game again, in the nets in the second half behind up to 21 points, Adu played the second half, 23 points, 10 boards and 4 assists, played 42 minutes and 12 seconds, 22 shots 11, 10 of 3 points, 8 of 9 free throws, cut 32 points, 10 boards and 11 assists and 2 blocks!
This is the third time this season that Durant has cut a triple-double, equaling a career single-season triple-double record and the 15th triple-double of his career, which makes him the fourth player in The Nets history to cut a triple-double against the Knicks, the first three are Kidd, Carter, Harden, and he is also the first player in The Nets history to cut a 30+ triple-double against the Knicks.
In the final moments, Adu played a dominant performance on both offensive and defensive ends, allowing the Nets to complete a big comeback of 110-98.
Interestingly, the Nets have completed two major reversals of at least 20 points this season, and both times have played the Knicks, the last time was to play the Knicks on February 17, the Nets completed a 28-point big reversal, the Nets have won seven consecutive games against the Knicks, presumably this is why the Knicks home fans will shout MVP at Adu at the last minute.
However, looking down at this level of physical exertion, Kan Qiujun is really worried, hoping that Nash can let Adu rest for two games, otherwise in the playoffs, you will be forced to use five defenders.
