Beijing time on December 8: 102-99! The Nets completed a 17-point comeback on the road to defeat the Lone Ranger to hold the first place in the East. The reversal of this game is very important for the Nets, first of all, to consolidate the first place in the East, and secondly, the big reversal away from home can enhance the team's confidence, if the loss of the consequences are unimaginable, especially the Nets this season against the strong team's poor record, and then become the fuse of their locker room problems, to avoid locker room problems, the only way is to win.
Harden praised the 1 partner
After the game, Harden praised his partner James Johnson, saying: "James Johnson came off the bench to perform well, he brought vitality to the team on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he has established a foothold in the team, we need him to perform like this. ”
Johnson played 25 minutes in this game, with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-of-7 shooting, and played the fourth quarter and also contributed greatly on the defensive end. Since Nash started James Johnson, Griffin has dropped out of the rotation lineup, compared to Griffin, Johnson has a better offensive performance, and the lateral movement speed is fast, the defensive end can keep up with the pace of teammates, and Griffin is good at responding to Johnson.
KD has a physical crisis
Although he won, Durant's physical fitness is worrying, durant averaged 40 minutes per game in the last 5 games, and in these 5 games, Durant's efficiency on the offensive end began to decline significantly, averaging less than 50% of the shooting per game, which is far from his previous shooting rate, which is undoubtedly the impact of the decline in physical fitness. Nash and his coaching staff should next solve Durant's rotation problem, which is only the regular season, and the schedule is only one-fourth of the way, should not rely too much on Durant so early, in the long run it is not good for the team.
Nash's statement was disappointing
The Nets' completion of the reversal should have been a happy thing, but listening to Nash's speech after the game disappointed the fans. Nash said: "We had several times today to collect the troops, but we did not give up in the end. ”
After falling behind by more than ten points, Nash had the idea of giving up, which was really incomprehensible. Nash has repeatedly given up the game early since he coached the Nets, which is a very unprofessional behavior, and the biggest charm of the NBA is to complete a big reversal, which can not only enhance the team's confidence, but also enhance the tacit understanding between teammates. To be honest, this negative attitude as a manager will only discourage the enthusiasm of the players, and the end result is to plant hidden dangers in the dressing room, and Nash's statement is unprofessional.
But Nash did a good job today, that is, the decisive abandonment of Ade in the fourth quarter, although Ade performed well in the first three quarters on the offensive end, cutting the Nets' highest score at halftime, but his problems on the defensive end are also obvious, Ade's pace is slow, the defense is more difficult, and the Lone Ranger is one of the most capable teams in the league, so Ade may have a situation of killing five hundred self-inflicted losses of a thousand when he stays on the court. After abandoning Ade in the fourth quarter, the Nets' defensive intensity was immediately improved, limiting the Lone Ranger's offense and eventually completing the reversal, which Nash is commendable.
