Durant led the team to beat the Timberwolves by 3 1 minute, KD: I can finally feel my legs.

On April 14, Beijing time, the first battle between the Nets and the Timberwolves, which was postponed for one day, officially started. However, Durant and the Nets did not relax their requirements because of the time of the day. Durant played the most efficient performance in the last two and a half months, scoring 3 1 1 in a single game and leading the Nets to beat the Timberwolves by 127 to 97.

"I can feel my legs under my body now," Durant said after the game. "I feel this way every minute of the game." Previously, Durant missed as many as 23 games because of a thigh strain. He just came back last week, and now he feels this way, which is undoubtedly good news.

The game was supposed to start on April 13, Beijing time, but the Timberwolves protested by postponing the game because a black teenager was shot by a white policeman in Minneapolis. The reason why the game was restarted today is because Timberwolves players hope to appeal to more people to pay attention to this incident in their own way. "I encourage everyone to stand up and make some changes to make things better, not just talk about it," said Russell of Timberwolves.

However, the timberwolves' players on the court still don't have much ability to compete with the Nets. Although top scholar Edwards scored 27 points, Downs didn't play this game. Recently, Downs' mother died of COVID-19 virus infection for one year, so Downs chose to miss this battle and spend more time with her family.

In fact, there are also cases where the main force can't play here in the Nets. Harden continued his truce because of thigh discomfort, Owen did not come to the away game with the team because of family affairs, and Aldridge, who joined recently, was absent due to illness. But even so, the overall strength of the Nets is much higher than that of the Timberwolves. In addition to Durant, who scored 3 1, Joe Harris also scored 23 points. The Nets established a lead of 23 points in the second quarter, and by the middle of the fourth quarter, the lead was as high as 45 points.

"I am really proud of my players, because we have really experienced too many problems this year," Nets coach Nash said after the game. "We are also trying to find this balance, hoping to make Durant perform well and have more time to test his leg."
