Kyrie Irving returned, but failed to bring victory to the team and instead suffered two consecutive losses.
Beijing time on January 23, the NBA Brooklyn Nets once again faced the Cleveland Cavaliers, Durant's game truce due to an Achilles tendon injury. In the end, the Nets lost to the Cavaliers 113-125, losing to their opponents for the second consecutive game.
In terms of lineup, the Nets are undoubtedly the most dazzling team in the league. They sit on three superstars, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Their offensive talents are almost the strongest in the league, but they face young Cavaliers whose players are not as experienced and capable as their own. They lost consecutively.
Durant played 50 minutes in the last game, so he truce this game, playing 50 minutes is almost close to the highest value of Durant's career playing time. His last playing time of 50 minutes or more dates back to the 2015-16 season, not to mention that Durant now has suffered an Achilles tendon rupture. In this case, the team was still defeated by the Cavaliers led by Sexton in overtime, which undoubtedly made fans feel depressed.
In the 23rd game, Irving carried the team's offense without Durant. After scoring 37 points in the previous game, he scored 38 points in this game. Harden scored 19 points and 11 assists in regular operations, but apart from the two stars, the Nets only scored in double figures with Jeff Green and Luwau Cabaro. In contrast, the Cavaliers, Sexton, Little Nance, Drummond, Prince, Garland, Allen scored in double figures.
If the Nets are offensively handed over to the top three stars, they have a high degree of confidence in success, but defense is indeed their weakness. Today's game the Nets' defense in the penalty area was useless again, and the Cavaliers scored 70 points. In the two games, they allowed the Cavaliers to score a total of 134 points in the penalty area, which also created their highest scoring record in any two games in the paint in the past 25 seasons.
Such a miserable defeat left the three giants Durant, Irving and Harden dull. With 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the game, the camera captured three people. Durant turned his back to Irving and Harden, each of them stared in a daze.in silence.
After the game, head coach Nash said: “We have too many to correct, too many problems to be cleaned up, but as I said, it’s still early in the season and the lineup is relatively new. Irving’s time has passed two weeks. Back to the team, Harden joined, Durant truce, and there are many reasons for losing. I don’t want to overreact."
