On November 13, Beijing time, the NBA game continued, and Nets defeated the strong opponent Clippers 110-95 away, ushering in two consecutive victories. In this game, Irving and Leonard continue to be absent, Durant fights George . In the first three quarters, the score difference has not been very big. Both teams performed well on both offense and defense. In the final quarter, the Clippers offensive power was cut off, and the Nets scored 15-0, basically winning the game. In the entire fourth quarter, the Nets scored 35-24, and the offense was too strong. On the defensive end, the Nets limited their opponent's scores to below 100 points for five consecutive games, and have become one of the best defensive teams in the league. Since the Nash was dismissed, Vaughan led the team to transform.
The Clippers' Morris Jr. scored 13 points and 6 rebounds, George scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and 5 of 21 shots was really ironic. George was really tired, and his playing time has been very high during this period. Zubac scored 16 points and 15 rebounds, Kennard scored 9 points and 3 rebounds, Reggie scored 6 points and 6 rebounds, Powell scored 16 points and 2 rebounds, Wall scored 214 points and 6 assists, Mann scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Durant of the Nets has 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. As long as the Nets record can enter the top four in the Eastern Conference, KD is also a candidate for MVP. Royce O'Neal 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Clarkston 13 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, Joe Harris 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Sumner 11 points, 4 assists and 3 steals, Curry Jr. 22 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Thomas 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Simmons 2 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
For other teams, what is terrible is not the Nets' continued victory, but the words that Boss Cai celebrated after the game. The most important reason why the Nets are on track is that their defense has improved. In the past two years, Nash has delayed the Nets. If other coaches were allowed to coach, the Nets might have won the championship long ago. This team had all the conditions for success. Boss Cai spoke out domineeringly on social media, "Victory with great value, Elite-level defense." It is reported that in the past period of time, the Nets have been the best team in the league in overall defense, even better than the teams such as Bucks , Celtics and Grizzlies.
indeed, as Boss Cai said, this is a very valuable victory, and the Nets played a top-level defense. The Nets' offense has never been a problem. Durant is still the best scorer in the league. He has scored 25+ in 13 consecutive games, becoming the first NBA player after Jordan . The Nets also have scorers such as Harris and Curry , Mills . But defense has been criticized. After Vaughan took office, the team started from the defensive end, and the effect was immediate. The Nets have a great hope of entering the top ten in the league on both offense and defense. Even if Durant leads a single core, he will have the opportunity to compete with other championship-winning teams in the Eastern Conference.
never was favored to rise strongly. The Nets have returned and become a favorite to compete for the championship. Other teams should be careful. After Irving returns, he just needs to play with peace of mind and improve his performance on the defensive end, and the Nets will be very strong. So far this season, Irving has won 2 wins and 6 losses when playing, and 4 wins and 1 loss when missing, which is so heartbreaking.
