Houston Rocketsi \u00e4\u00e4rem\u00e4ngija Kevin Durant kogus p\u00fchap\u00e4eval oma koduklubi 119:110 v\u00f5idum\u00e4ngus New Orleans Pelicansi vastu 18 punkti ja l\u00e4ks NBA k\u00f5igi aegade skooritabelis Dirk Nowitzkist m\u00f6\u00f6da kuuendaks.<\/p>\n
Durant alustas p\u00fchap\u00e4evast m\u00e4ngu teadmisega, et k\u00f5igi aegade punktitabelis Saksamaa korvpallit\u00e4hest m\u00f6\u00f6dumiseks tuleb tal Pelicansi vastu koguda 17 punkti. Veel 15 sekundit enne m\u00e4ngu l\u00f5ppu oli Durantil koos 16 silma, siis astus ta vabaviskejoonele ja realiseeris m\u00f5lemad visked. Rockets (25-15) on l\u00e4\u00e4nekonverentsis viiendal kohal.<\/p>\n
37-aastane Durant viskas oma esimesed punktid NBA-s juba 2007. aastal ning p\u00e4rast p\u00fchap\u00e4evast m\u00e4ngu on tal koos 31 562 punkti. K\u00f5igi aegade edetabelis on n\u00fc\u00fcd tema ees viiendal kohal Michael Jordan 32 292 punktiga.<\/p>\n
“Vaatasin Dirkile alati alt \u00fcles, ta oli mu iidoliks. Meil olid platsil head lahingud, aga ta oli alati toetav. On hullumeelne sellise legendiga \u00fchel pulgal olla ning n\u00fc\u00fcd napilt Michael Jordanile kaotada. Tahan tabelis veel ronida ja lihtsalt n\u00e4ha, kui k\u00f5rgele j\u00f5uan. See on olnud imeline karj\u00e4\u00e4r,” r\u00e4\u00e4kis Durant m\u00e4ngu j\u00e4rel.<\/p>\n
Kahekordne NBA meister ja 2014. aastal liiga k\u00f5ige v\u00e4\u00e4rtuslikumaks m\u00e4ngijaks valitud Durant j\u00e4i 2011. aastal Oklahoma City Thunderiga l\u00e4\u00e4nekonverentsi finaalis hiljem meistriks kroonitud Nowitzkile ja Dallas Mavericksile alla, j\u00e4rgmisel aastal v\u00f5eti valitsevate meistrite vastu aga nelja m\u00e4nguga kuiv v\u00f5it. “Oli seeriaid, kus lihtsalt vihkasin Dirki ja usun, et tunne oli vastastikune. \u00dcritasin oma karj\u00e4\u00e4ri jooksul k\u00f5igilt suurtelt m\u00e4ngijatelt midagi \u00f5ppida, aga v\u00f5tsin temalt eriti palju,” lisas Durant.<\/p>\n
Denver Nuggets (29-14) pidi p\u00fchap\u00e4eval Charlotte Hornetsi (16-27) vastu hakkama saama ilma Nikola Jokici, Aaron Gordoni, Cameron Johnsoni, Christian Brauni ja Jonas Valanciunaseta. Viis meest on sel hooajal Nuggetsi eest kokku visanud keskmiselt \u00fcle 77 punkti, ilma nendeta j\u00e4i meeskond r\u00fcnnakul h\u00e4tta ja vastu tuli v\u00f5tta 87:110 kaotus.<\/p>\n
Londonis peetud m\u00e4ngus viskas Ja Morant 24 punkti ja v\u00f5ttis 13 lauapalli ning aitas Memphis Grizzliesi (18-23) 126:109 v\u00f5iduni Orlando Magicu (23-19) \u00fcle. Eelmisest neljast m\u00e4ngust kolm kaotanud Los Angeles Lakers (25-16) sai kodusaalis hea v\u00f5idu, kui oli DeAndre Aytoni 25 punkti ja 13 lauapalli toel 110:93 \u00fcle idakonverentsi neljandast meeskonnast Toronto Raptorsist (25-19).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston Rocketsi \u00e4\u00e4rem\u00e4ngija Kevin Durant kogus p\u00fchap\u00e4eval oma koduklubi 119:110 v\u00f5idum\u00e4ngus New Orleans Pelicansi vastu 18 punkti ja…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[43511,37,33,35,34,36,13733,13713,4391,159,158],"class_list":{"0":"post-88297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sport","8":"tag-dirk-nowitzki","9":"tag-ee","10":"tag-eesti","11":"tag-eesti-keel","12":"tag-estonia","13":"tag-estonian","14":"tag-houston-rockets","15":"tag-kevin-durant","16":"tag-nba","17":"tag-sport","18":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ee\/115920517344902241","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
