![]() | Kyrie and Durant told the story of Golden State23-12-2020 |
Fans of basketball across the ocean failed to witness a spectacle in the first game of the new season of the National Basketball Association. The reason for this is that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving led the Brooklyn Nets to a devastating 26-point victory over Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors - 125:99 (40:25, 23:20, 36:26, 26:28) inBarclays Center. The success is the first in the coaching career of Nets debuting coach Steve Nash.
The `nets` showed incredible movement of the ball in attack, which provided them with easy shots and brought them fast points. On the other hand, the boys of Steve Kerr had difficulty overcoming the defense of the hosts and rarely reached open fire, although they made very easy passes. The Warriors were without Draymond Green, who missed the match due to a twisted ankle.
Former Golden State player Kevin Durant has made his long-awaited debut for his new team. The Brooklyn winger punished the `wars` with 22 points and 5 rebounds in just 24 minutes of playing time, shooting 7/15 from the game and 7/7 from the penalty line.
Kyrie Irving harassed the guests` defense as much as possible. The playmaker scored 26 points in 25 minutes in 10/16 of play, including 4/7 of the triple. Karis Levert made a great start from the bench with 20 points in 24 minutes, and Joe Harris scored 10 points and took 7 rebounds.
For Golden State, leader Steph Curry was above all with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists, but only 2/10 of his favorite three. Selection ?2 in the Draft James Wiseman demonstrated good shooting and finished with 19 points and 6 rebounds in 7 successful shots from 11 attempts. Andrew Wiggins made a lot of wrong plays, but still finished with 13 points. Debutant Kelly Ubre Jr. is remembered for three great shots, which, however, did not help his team, as he missed his remaining 11 attempts.
