With the farce since the start of the game and some personnel changes ended, Brooklyn Nets seems to be slowly gaining a foothold. Today, relying on the connection between star Kevin Durant and shooter Seth Curry, they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 110:95 in the end.
Both sides were in a tug-of-war state in the first three quarters of this game, and the scores were never widened. However, in the last quarter, the Clippers suddenly fell into a scoring drought, while in the Nets there were Curry . He scored 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 14 points alone, leading the team to a 15:0 climax and directly took the game away.
In this game, Durant scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He scored at least 25 points in the first 13 games of this season, becoming the player with the most consecutive 25 points in the first season after Mike Jordan in the 1988-89 season.
Curry felt hot and scored 22 points, making 5 of 6 shots in the last quarter, which was the key to the team's ability to open the score; center Clarkston scored 13 points and 14 rebounds, and Reus O'Neal scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
In today's big victory over the Clippers, the most lonely one may be Simmons . Simmons, who played on the bench, only played 14 minutes today, played 9 minutes in the first half and 5 minutes in the second half, and the entire third quarter was pressed on the bench. He made 1 of 2 shots in the whole game, scored 2 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 fouls. Without Simmons making trouble on the court and Irving and making trouble off the court, the Nets have recently scored 4 wins and 1 loss. Simmons and Irving are already dispensable with the Nets. Today's winning Nets welcomes good news, and the team is finally going to attack Simmons.
According to James Piercey, a famous trading analysis expert at NBA, after seeing the recent performance of the team, the Nets management decided to rebuild around Durant and find a suitable helper for Durant. The team decided to trade the disposable Simmons. It is reported that Nets general manager Max has officially issued a offer to Spurs head coach Popovich , hoping to reach a deal with the Spurs. It is reported that Spurs head coach Popovich did not explicitly reject the deal, and stated that the two sides can negotiate further.
According to James Piercey, the trading plan given by the Nets is: Simmons is used to exchange Spurs' centers Pulltel and McDermott.
The Spurs are planning to compete for Wenban Yama this season. Unexpectedly, they are getting better and better now, ranking 9th in the Western Conference. Pulltel and McDermott perform well no longer meet the team's requirements. Pulltel averaged 29.2 minutes, 12.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 blocks per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 64.3%. McDermott averaged 21.1 minutes, 10 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 44.9% from the field and 41.3% from three-point shooting percentage.
Simmons's Spurs is the best choice for him personally. Under Popovich's training and psychological counseling, Simmons can regain confidence and skills and become the next Leonard for the Spurs. Simmons currently averages 27.2 minutes in the new season, averaging 5.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, and a shooting percentage of 44.4%.
