On October 30, Beijing time, the NBA's new season of regular season continued in full swing. The Nets, which had previously been hit by the Miami Heat, once again ushered in a new game with the Indiana Pacers. I thought that after the start of the new season, the Nets would play one amazing game after another and achieve a relatively brilliant statistic. But no one would have thought that they could only rank 12th in the East with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. However, their opponents today, the Pacers, have only achieved a record of 1-4.
As far as the general perception is concerned, the encounter between these two relatively bad teams is not very interesting. But the Nets have two top stars, Durant and Harden, and their influence can attract the attention of many fans. As the saying goes, the NBA has no weak team. What will be the final situation of today's duel between the two sides? Let's wait and see.
At the beginning of the game, the Pacers, who were playing away from home, were preconceived, not only to score first, to break the embarrassment of the beginning of the game, but also to further widen the point difference between the two teams in the following time of the first quarter. Sabonis shot 100 percent from 4-of-4 shooting, delivering eight points, three rebounds, four assists plus two steals, Duarte also had a nine-point contribution, and Craig, who came off the bench, also had a 10-point deficit. The Pacers, who played with all the troops, took a 12-point lead with a 38-26 score.
Entering the second quarter, the Nets, who play at home, can also fight back. With Harden shooting 8-of-9 from the free throws in the quarter, 2-of-3 shooting, and 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, the Nets scored 32-17. That is to say, by the end of the first half of the game, the Nets not only recovered the 12 points behind in the first quarter, but also achieved a 3-point reversal. The situation was reversed, and the Nets, who fought again, followed the trend and widened the point difference between the two teams.
That's right, Durant played 12 minutes in the third quarter, delivering a comprehensive statistic of 4 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Aldridge also contributed a key 8 points with 4 of 4 shooting. Because of the situation in which the players on the team played everywhere, the Nets scored 27-19 and took an eight-point lead. By the end of the first three quarters, the Nets had widened the point difference between the two teams to 10 points! The game has come to this point, the momentum of the players on the Nets side has been completely played, and the Pacers still have a lot of difficulties in achieving a big reversal in the final quarter.
In the end, after the regular time of the fourth quarter, the Nets finally won the game with a score of 105-98, stabilizing the situation. Throughout the game, the state of the superstar players on the Nets side is still relatively good, of which Durant also has 22 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in the 37 minutes of playing, and Harden also handed over 29+8+8 data. Not only that, but in the absence of Kyrie Irving on the Nets side, the third big man has emerged from the bench!
That's right, Aldridge, who announced his return after retiring, played 28 minutes off the bench in the game, giving 21 points and 8 rebounds. Durant's 22 points, Harden's 29 and Aldridge's 21 points, the Nets won the game, really a good compliment to Ade.
