Judging from the strength of the two teams, there is no doubt that the Nets are stronger and the Pistons are now at the bottom of the East. Former team owner Griffin joined the Nets after being bought out. This time Griffin faced his old club, but he was very excited. When he came off the bench in the first half, he scored 7 points in the first quarter and 3 points in the basket, mainly because he could send assists to his teammates. It can be said that the Nets can get too much Griffin!
Harden called a truce because of injury. In this game, it is obvious that Harden is strong enough to have a rest, and Gordon is very satisfied. It seems to be full of electricity. The first quarter began to drive teammates, and the second quarter began to attack the basket continuously. Harden's personal scoring ability is beyond doubt. Easily scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists at halftime. It is not a problem to win three pairs of data in this competition.
Although Jordan's ability has obviously decreased, it is still easy to eat cakes under the basket, especially at the end of the second quarter, when Harden made a long pass to the basket, Jordan jumped high with his back to the basket and completed the somersault in the air, and his physical quality was still super strong. I always feel that Jordan plays healthy basketball in the regular season and is a bit careless on the court. Is it also for the playoffs?
82-78. At the end of the third quarter, the Nets temporarily led the Pistons by 4 points. Harden hit some heads in this section, mainly because he was dissatisfied with the referee. He repeatedly hit the basket and failed to get a whistle, complained to the referee and got a technical foul, which made Harden even more dissatisfied. Harden struggled with the referee in this section. The less you play, the more I want to have an attack. I failed to drive my teammates and made many mistakes. The piston took this opportunity to eliminate the differential.
Pistons, a young team, has never lacked vitality and fighting spirit. This is very difficult. Given the chance, the Pistons can also beat some strong teams. The Nets and Pistons have played twice before this season, 1- 1 draw. For the Nets, the pistons are not afraid at all. If the Nets want to win easily, Harden needs to play more reasonably. There can be no such thing.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it rained three points, Harden scored two three points and Taylor Johnson also hit three points. The Nets instantly expanded the score difference to more than ten points again, and the piston responded quickly and successfully approached the score.
At the crucial moment, the Pistons equalized the score difference, but Harden immediately scored 2+ 1. Plus Jeff Green's three points, the Nets lead by five points again, and Grant hits. Pistons keep the game in suspense. At this time, Harden fouled Ploom Lee and left the field for six times. Harden did not lead the team. The Nets were in danger at the last moment, and the sideline ball also made a mistake and was directly intercepted by the other side. Unfortunately, it didn't hit, and finally the Nets113-1beat the Pistons. It was so thrilling!
In the whole game, Jeff Green scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, joe harris scored 9 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, Bruce Brown scored 7 points and 2 rebounds, Jordan Jr. 10 points and 9 rebounds, Harden scored 44 points 14 rebounds and 8 assists, Griffin 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, claxton scored 3 points and 7 rebounds and Taylor Johnson scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. On the piston side, Grant 19 2 points, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Sadik Bay 14 5 points and 2 assists, Ploom Ray 13 10 5 assists, Ellington 9 points and 2 rebounds, Mike Grudd 7 points, Diallo 6 points and 2 rebounds, Joseph 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and josh jackson 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
At the end of the game, Harden didn't stay on the sidelines, and went straight to the player's aisle to start exiting. Although the game defeated the opponent, the process was too tortuous. At the last moment, he gave his opponent a chance to equalise, that is, the opponent didn't grasp it, otherwise the game would enter overtime and the Nets wouldn't have Harden. It's hard to beat your opponent.
But Griffin did not leave in a hurry. After all, the Pistons are their old club, and they are not bad for themselves. Although Griffin had some friction with his former teammates on the court, it did not affect hugging and greeting with a group of former teammates after the game. Griffin went to the other team's bench and hugged a group of former teammates and piston staff. The relationship between the two sides is still very good, don't you think?
