After being defeated by the Heat for 48 hours, the Nets ushered in an away game against the Pelican. In the last game, Durant injured his thigh and retired early. This game can only be watched. Just before the game, it was reported that Harden was seriously injured in training and his comeback date would be postponed. All kinds of signs are very unfavorable to the Nets, and a victory is urgently needed to revive morale. King of one-on-one combat! Owen scored 12 points+key steals at the decisive moment. Who said he had cancer? As the only giant on the field, Owen knows his responsibilities. In the last game, the one-on-one defeat at the crucial moment directly led to the team losing a good game. But it is difficult for a superstar to fall into the same ditch in succession. In this game, Owen did not let the tragedy repeat itself. He fully demonstrated his ability to fight one-on-one He 19 shot 12, made 3 of 7 shots and scored 32 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists. It is worth mentioning that Owen's performance at the critical moment is quite tough and reliable. Of his 32 points, 15 came from the fourth quarter, and 12 came from the last decisive moment.

In the last three minutes, Owen's two one-on-one fights were particularly wonderful. One is to face the defense of the ball brother near the baseline. After continuous dribbling and shaking, he turned to jump shot, hit steadily, extended the lead to 4 points, and stabilized the situation for the team. The performance of the European writing season is completely different from the past, both on and off the court. Owen's offense is more efficient on the court, and his leader is more and more efficient off the court. Why is Owen so obsessed with singles? The reason is actually related to his growing environment. LeBron thinks Owen has grown a lot. James said: "This boy is so excellent that he must continue to do what he is doing and try to create opportunities for himself and his teammates. He's good at this. Owen is more talkative this season. He can be more talkative and put his teammates in the right position. We have a point guard who can put everyone in the right position and he just needs to continue to get better. "

When talking about why he is obsessed with being single, Owen explained: "I come from New Jersey, new york. Playing there means one-on-one fighting. The locals are fascinated by this. They want to fight. I grew up in this environment. Now I want to carry forward this style. " On another occasion, with less than 30 seconds left in the game, Owen successfully drilled through the gap between men and women, and then made a layup against Adams at the basket, expanding the lead to 5 points and basically stabilizing the victory. Later, in the face of Zion's one-on-one fight, he reached out to steal. The ball hit Zion and was out of bounds. The Nets won the ball and the Pelican lost its motivation. Then, he made two free throws, completely killing the final suspense of the game and winning a much-needed victory for the Nets.

For a long time, Owen's obsession with one-on-one play and his personality, especially his past single-core leadership ability, dwarfed his two teammates Durant and Harden. Admittedly, Owen's one-on-one fight is a double-edged sword. If he is in good condition, he will kill countless enemies. If he is in a bad state, he may hurt himself. But it must be admitted that the Nets can't do without Owen's one-on-one hit, especially when they are anxious, and this one-on-one hit is really the reliable key to solving the problem. But at least this season, the Nets have achieved quite good results when Owen led the team, and he has always been willing to organize a series to drive his teammates. On the defensive end, he has also become more active. Although it is too early to say that he is a qualified leader, at least he is no longer a "cancer".
