On April 1, the Nets played at home against the Rockets, the second time the two teams have met this season. Despite Harden's injury and the Nets' once large deficit, they managed to win the game thanks to Irving's excellent play. I don't know if Irving played too well, Wall actually took the initiative to find the Nets superstar to chat.
With 3:31 left in the fourth quarter, the Nets were already leading by six points at 107-101. Despite the team's trailing, Wall, who was sitting on the sidelines, seemed to be in a good mood. At that time, the game suspension had just ended and Irving had come to the bottom corner. Wall immediately stood up and smiled and chatted with Owen.
At first, Owen responded with a smile, but was ready to start the game as it was about to start over. However, Wall didn't seem to have a good time, and the mood was getting higher and higher, and he kept saying something. At this time, Owen seemed to be a little impatient, his expression became more serious, and he did not take care of Wall anymore, but focused all his energy on the game. Seeing that Irving was no longer taking care of himself, Wall was embarrassed to say a few words to the Rockets teammate next to him, but did not get a response.
Irving played very well, playing 39 minutes, scoring 31 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists on 12-of-25 shooting, setting a season-high in assists. In the third quarter, Harden withdrew early due to injury, and Irving carried the team on his shoulders, scoring 11 points in this quarter and five assists in the fourth quarter.
With this performance, Irving once again showed his style. Therefore, many fans joked that Wall chatted with Owen in order to join the Nets: "It should be asked Irving, your Nets still lack leaders", "Look at that mouth type, Wall said as if: Is there still a lack of people?" "Wall: Can I mix with you when my big contract is over?" Owen: What? You think too much."
After coming to the Rockets, Wall was full of fighting spirit and hoped to break through with Harden. However, Harden left the Rockets without hesitation, joined the Nets, and led the team forward. Wall, who has been constantly mocking Harden, is full of difficulties, the Rockets are now mired in the quagmire, and he himself has been seriously questioned.
