On April 9, Beijing time, in the face of the "seven-game battle" with the Cavaliers in the east, DuOu double-core led the team to play a wave of counterattacks in the last quarter, successfully reversed the Cavaliers' win, and surpassed the Cavaliers to rise to the 7th place in the East, seizing the initiative of home advantage in the play-offs. However, Irving's performance is still not ideal, he only has 7 of 22 crosshairs in the whole game, especially 1 of 7 three-pointers, contributing 18+6+8, and his instability has led to Durant being overloaded.
Durant in the previous "part-time" mode, repeatedly able to play explosive performance, especially the efficiency is extremely high, naturally thanks to a few days to play a game, can have sufficient physical fitness. On the contrary, the sharp decline in his status after returning to full-time now, coupled with his entry into Ramadan mode, has greatly restricted Owen's physical fitness.
In the last reversal to beat the Knicks, Irving even got 24+8+7 data, but only 9 of 26 hit 17 iron crosshairs, including 3 of 12 three-pointers, and the efficiency value was very different from Durant. You know, Durant scored 32 points in the last game, 11 of 22.
Facing a focus card battle with the Cavaliers, the Nets led by 15 points at 34-19 in the first quarter, which seemed to set the winning tone in advance and scored 17 points at most. However, Irving's state is unstable, resulting in the Nets can only rely on Durant to support, they lost a total of 20 points in the second and third quarters, and the first three quarters were surpassed by 5 points.
Irving scored 5-of-11 in the first half, with 1-of-4 outside three-pointers scoring 11+4+4. Just into the second half of the game, Irving hit 1 of 6 in the third quarter, resulting in only 6 of 17 in the first three quarters, including 1 of 6 from three points, to get 14+5+4, and his performance on the court was quite struggling.
As for Irving continuing to hit 1 of 5 in the final quarter, his total of 11 in the second half was undoubtedly an unbearable performance, with Durant's super performance of 36 points and the team's 5-man scoring in double figures, the Nets only broke the Cavaliers to win at 35-19 in the final quarter.
Irving's last two games totaled 16 of 48 and 32 irons, including 4 of 19 three-pointers, both of which have sounded the alarm for Irving again.
