NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Mavericks 110-102.

In this game, Durant was not feeling good. He played 38 minutes and 23 seconds, making 6 of 18 shots (2 of 6 three-pointers), 7 of 7 free throws, 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. He made 2 turnovers and had a plus-minus of -1.

Flagg, the top pick, played 34 minutes, making 5 of 10 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 4 turnovers. It is worth mentioning that all Flagg's points came in the first half. In the second half, he made 0 of 4 goals and scored no points.

After the game, the commentator Xu Jingyu commented on the game. The original text is as follows:

Flagg is purely a parallel import. You basically don’t need to watch it anymore. It’s useless. His dribbling ability cannot meet the requirements of an organizing forward, his scoring ability is not even enough to reach the level of Super Six, and his leadership ability is close to nonexistent. What is left? At the critical moment today, he didn't dare to take a shot when he was open. Mojiji had no choice but to shoot and his shot was blocked. He is weaker than Kuzma, let alone Cunningham.

Durant has mixed feelings and worries. At the critical moment of the game, he still sends out a large number of rand gift packages. Today, the Mavericks do not have the strength to redeem the prize, otherwise it will be difficult for the Rockets to win. This is a wake-up call for Uduka. In the future, when using Durant, it is best to limit the regular season playing time to less than 25 minutes, and then let him go all out in the playoffs. Compared with regular season rankings, Durant's health is more critical. I hope Uduka will change the way he uses Rand in the future, so that he can truly hope to compete for the championship.
